But on. the train she was at home in her old tweed suit, in the fiat bottomed boat that lonfed along a green- water river near bluegreen under- growth and thorugh yellow-green shawode. she was perfectIyOhappy. Presently they left even this cduifort behind. With the party that had collected at Buehoe Ayres. they finally took to mules and horses, and began climbing.

"l wanted to go up in those wonderful hills that seemed almost on top of the city," Jane said. "And here we arc-in hills that are even prettier." ' . Donald did not altsiver. Jane looked at lillil quickly. Wua he tir- ing of the trip already? WVaa be tiring of her already?

Ily way of testing her theory, she tricd another remark. They had stopped at. a plateau for lunch. they were to reach u tiny town- if u collection of huts could bc so called-Jar the night. The thick forest had given way by this time to trees of greater resistance, and to gaunt rocks and open spaces. They looked over tho foothills small green lumps that seemed to jump up suddenly from tho pinin- and over great rolling country that wan dotted with ranches.

“The world seems a long wuy off, doesn't it?" Jane asked, stand- ing near n. rock that thrust its profile up against the skyline. Donald gave a. grunt—that was the only way to describe the short monosyllable that was her answer. Jane was satisfied. Alruudy Don- ald regretted his adventure! Sho followed her one idea-that of letting him alone. There was n young electric engineer in the party that he llkod to talk with. she hoped he would ride with him. She pushed her own pond reside that oi’ one of the woolen in _ the party-a fat. complacent woman with short gray hair. cropped some» what like a man's who wore men's shirts and corduroy brocches-—aud wound her impossibly fut legs in spiral felt puttees.

“You'd better cut your hair off. the boat's bad for it." she remark- ed when Jane pushed long blowing ends back under hrr hat. "Can't travel and keep up t feminine ‘appearances. I've "earned that." |She accented the "that."

The woman who feels tlrcd out, Willi) aches ull ovcr when Sllg rises ‘lu the morning, who feels depress- ed most uf uiic time. nccds the help that Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills can gvivo her-non; rich blond and stronger nerves. The number of disorders caused by pour iblood is amazing, and most women are care- less about tho condition of their blood. Their nerves are quickly ni- fectcd; they worry over trifles and do not obtain refreshing sleep. There may be stomach troubles and headaches; shortness of breath and a flutlcning oi uhe llcalrt. This is a condition that calls tor Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, the blood-im- proving, nerve-restoring tonic. Mrs“ William Henry, Lovctt Street, Lou- don, Ont, has proved the value of these pills, and says: “l had u. very severe attack oi anaemia. l was always tired and the least thing would uiuko me sick at the stem» ach. l could hardly go about and suffered terrible pains ln my legs from cramps.
