"\Vhy do vou ask?” “Because I’d like cine more to be added to the number," said Ryan, audaciiously; wheneat Kate blushed again, and was spared the trouble of answering by Bubbles telling the lirishmain to push off, and not talk so much. Pat consented, with an. ill grace; for, versed as he was in affairs of the heairt, he saw that Kate knew his feelings and responded to them. Kate and Carmela sat lill‘ the stern of. the .boat; the former steering, while Oairmela sat idly gazing at the gay throng on the river, her thoughts far away with Ronald Monteith. They passed Temple Clouirt, embowâ€" erred among trees, had to take their turn in entering the look, which gave l Pat and Bubbles lots of opportunity to converse and chaff their friends. Indeed, it was really wonderful how many people these young men knew, and even Carmela smiled as she heard Pat’s witty tongue running riot. At last they got into the lock, Bub- bles skilfully piloting them; and, as the boat sanik rapidly to the lower reach, several ladies in other boats shrileked, but were pacified when the water ceased to fall. “Bugad, they’re as bad as bansheesi” said Pat; whoreon he was once more told to hold his tongue by Bubbles, who was captain, and soon they were out again. on the broad river, with the roar of the weir in their ears. ' 'Ainf :would' ye like to tow downf’l asked Pat, persuasively, of Kate. But . that y'ownig lady declined on the plea of heat, so Palt had to give up his idea of a flirtation on» the towing- path, and work hard instead. "There’s Biishaml” said Bubbles, as they passed the gray old abbey. “\Vheu'e Shelley wrote his ‘Revolt of Islam’ floating in a boat under the beeches.” ’ "Beigad, I hope he had a lady with him!" said that, gaylly;fl' "‘thelre’s; nothing stirs‘ imagination like- a pretty girl.” “Your imagination is quite vivid enough already,”- said Carmela. ‘ ' “There’s Marliow Church and Mara; low Bridge,” observed Bubbles, still -- in the character of guide-book.

" A bright day, :1 gany dressed crowd, the broad, blue river crowded with crafts, and the green: country, and picturesque red-roofed houses on either sideâ€"nothing could be more de- lightful.

Ronald, how-eivclr, looked grave and Pat introduced Bubbles, who s.peediâ€"' climation to improve his acquaintance with..Miss Trevor, whose bright eyes had made an impression. on. his heart. Ronald had no more . speech with Carmella that day, and kept aloof from her, a fact she. attributed to his knowledge of her engagement with Vassalla. The rest of the afternoon passed rapidly, and though there was to be a process-ion oi illuminated boats that might, the Bellfield party said they would go home, and depart'éd up the river in the gathering shadows, Sir Mark’s cheery voice being the last hoard. “Seven o’clock, miy boysi”, he sang out, "not a minute later.” CHAPTER XXII.

The symptoms of asthma are keenly distl'essing:and are not easily confused with those of any other ailment. The victim is suddenly aroused by an in- tense anguish in the chest, the breath- lng. is accompanied by a loud wheezing, the“ face becomes flushed, and bathed in perspiration; he gasps for air, "beâ€" lieving that each moment may be his last. After these paroxysms, which may last for‘ hOurs, the patient usual- ly falls asleep to arise next day weak, languid and debilitated. Dr. Chase’s treatment for asthma ionsists in the combined use of two Of his remedies, Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine and Dr. Chase‘s Nerve Food. Asthma is a. pervous disease and the attacks braiught- on by some irritation of the nerves along the air passages. These nerves are soothed and quieted and immediate relief afforded to the putt- :nt by the use of Dr. Chase’s Syrup of Linseedl and Turpentine. ~In fact asthma is frequ'ently thoroughly cured by the use of this remedy alone, as is I In most cases, however, it is found :udvisable to combine the two remedies, 'iDr. Chase‘s Syrup of Linseed and Tur- :pentinc and Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. ,The former as a local-treatment acting idirectly on the bronchial tubes and air lpassnges, and the latter asa nerve re- ,‘sto-rative to build ,up and strengthen {the whole nervous system. It is con- ffidently believed there is no treatment lextant that is so perfectly successful, ’in the cure of asthma as the combined iuse of these two great remedies.

They saw fully 1,000 caribou while they were in the island, and brought home twenty-one heads. One of the hunters 1 said: “People who have never been in Newfoundland can have no idea of the abundance of caribou there. There are few mouse or deer, although bears are numerous in some places. The great caribou barre-n3 are in the far interior of the island, and so numerous , are the animals that there is nothing to prevent a good, shot with a long- carrying rifle from killing all that the law allows.
