He had not one anything nenr it in colour. " 3»iess 'no, Mr. Wilson, I forgot 1 But as a niatter of fact I havrn't a single eye of any color, said the oculist. "A young man came in yes?ct*t7ay and cleaved my stock. A nn>4 ronurkabiu tiling. Never had such a sale before. Why don't you try Gregson, Sir. Wilso.,l ? Besides him there's only Thomas in the town, and he never has mueh of a stock. Of course, if you can wait a week "• " A week!" shrieked Jacob. " Man, thnt eye lias got to be found in less than an hour," and lie disappeared outside and into the call on his way to Grcgsou's. But Gregson had sold out, too, like the oilier man, and it was tiie same tale with Thomas. There wasn't a false eye to be had in town, apparently not an eye of any color, even if the millionaire had been disposed to put up with a makeshift. He alighted from the cab at his mansion to run into the arms of Mr. Gordon Smith. "Confound you!" he growled. "Can't you see where you are going?" "Same to you," said Smith. "But it seems to me you have no wish to sea, since you are covering one eye with a patch. What arc you after ? " " None of your business," snapped Mr. Wilson. " But it might be," was the insinuating answer. "You never know; it might be. While some people have all the brains othere have to be contented with the eyes." Smith followed Mr. Wilson into his house and into bis private roofti. "So you cornered all the eyes in the town?" remarked Mr, Wilson. " Not exactly," said Smith; " nearly all, But there are just two I was not able to secure." "Same color as mine?" Jacob asked eagerly. "No; I've got one the same as yours, an absolute replica, but " "What's the price? Name it! Got It with you? " He was dancing in a frenzy.' " Here's the eye," and Gordon Smith produced it. "Name the price and be quick," said Jacob. "I'm in a hurry." lie pulled out his cheque book. " Twenty thousand pounds and " "This is simple robbdryl" he cried. "Outrageous! llidiculous! " " But you did not permit me to finish," complained the novelist. " I said £20,000. I was going to add and a pair of blue eyes." Silas fixed his pince-nez and ran his one eye in admiration over the smiling Smit.li, lie saw he had been cornered, but he w-M not a man to deprive genius of its'due credit " Done! " he said, smacking Smith on the back. " You're clever; you've got brains. I admire you, Smith. Give me that eye. Not a word to a soul about Ibis. I should be the laughing stock of the place. Jump into the carriage and come along to my wedding." It only remains to hj:? recorded that Mr. Gordon Smilh completed his corner in eye 3 by acquiring the blue pair which looked love at him from their setting in Sadie's fair face; that Mis. Graham changed her name to Wilson; that Jacob secured the control 0/ the Kingslaml copper mine and a partner Lr hid son in-law. The Children's Teeth. There must be some reason why children suffer so dreadfully with their teeth. Take any one hundred of New Zealand children, and you will likely not fiijd six children in the whole lot with teeth as sound and perfect as they should be. The trouble seems to be that there is cot enough bone-making material in the food given to children. Give the babies more Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda and as they grow the teeth will be stronger, sounder, and more regular in shape, la LANE'S EMULSION mothers have a really valuable children's remedy. The Cod Liver Oil increases flesh and fat, while the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda act not only as a tonic to strengthen the nerves and general organs of the growing body, but supply the bone and teeth building food and nourishment that all children constantly raqnire. If mothers who are really anxious for the health and strength of their children will give a dose of Lane's Emulsion two or three times each day for several months they will be well repaid. This is a fact that can be easily proven by starting LaSe's Emulsion to-day. While giving Lane's Emulsion teach the children to constantly breathe through the nostrils, and they will grow up with such strong and sound lungs fh'at the usual coughs and colds wil very seldom trouble them. Lane's Emulsion is sold by cnemists and stores In two sizes, small 2/6, and large 4/6 The large bottle is the economical size. Kauufuctured bp tli E. Q.
