fortune to gain an entrance he will be

hrst OF the passengers to spring on to the
platform and to ask eagerly whether the
mail boat was going to cross.
mo, sir. She won't cross tonight. The
storms too high" was the disappointing
answer or the official.
Llewellyn, however, would not give up
hope at once. HE had no luggage but his
hand bag, and he waited about. refusing
all offers OF the porters to carry it for him,
and made further inquiries, in the vain
hope of at length hearing better news.
At last he became aware that something
about him had made him an object of Sus-
plcion to two men, whom, by their boots,
he guessed to be detectives; and as, recog-
nizing this, he was about to leave the sta
ton, one OF these men came up to him
very quietly and requested him to step in
to the superintendent office.
LlewelIyn saw that il was best to comply
quietly, and. on finding himself shut in
with the detective and a couple of police
men in uniform. he gave at once the full
est details as to his name, his residence,
his place of employment and his present
erTand. lie also gave up his keys. that
the detective could inspect the documents
he was carrying.
The examinati ton lasted a very few mo-
ments.
quite right sir; thank you,'' said the
man, touching his hat, with smile, land
now you must excuse me for having de-
tanned you. but we've just had a wire tell
ing US to be on the lookout for two we'll
known thieves, man and a woman, who
are supposed to have come down by this
train with a number of stolen securities
So you see sir, although IL was a bad shot
in one way to suspect you, on the other II
was a good one, for you were travelling
with securities, although they didn't hap
pen to be stolen ones"
George Llewellyn accepted the apology
and explanation ood-humoredly and ask
ed IL II was by order of the police that
the boat was stopped.
''Oh. no. sir. The weather's responsible
for that" answered the man, shaking his
head. Though I don't say II won't help
us to have a little more time to look
around"
And he opened the door, saluting George
respectfully as the latter passed out.
Out in the little squalid street outside
the station, with the wind whistllng round
the corners and the snow melting into a
dirty slush Mt his feet. Llewellyn asked
himself what he should do. Should he put

by the discovery he had just made that he
answered in a tone which showed him to
be in the best of spirits:
ITS nothing at all; it's a mere scratch.
Miss Lowe. Please don't make yourself
unhappy"
The girl turned slowly round, reveal
ing a most woe-begone and grief-strcken
countenance. She looked anxiously at her
father, and seeing by the expression of
his face that she had really not done much
HARM she began to dry her tears, although
she still carefully avoided meeting Level
lyn'S eyes.
"My dear" said DR.. Lowe, "go into the
surgery and get me the box where 1 keep
my bandages. 1 can. finish this business
here, for it won't take me a minute, and
it's cold in there"
AS soon as his daughter had left the
room the old doctor burst into fit of
laughter.
II shall break her heart if she hears
me laughing" said he, wiping his eyes.
"Just now when / came in by the back
way, as 1 usually do at night, 1 found her
waiting for me. waving a black bag in
triumph over my head, and telling me
she had caught thief. And she was so
proud, poor child, of having inveigled you
in here and detained you so long. She said
she was in an agony of fear lest should
be late and you would get away, bag and
all"
But" asked George, when the doctor
had finished another roar of laughter.
what made her take me for a thief? Sure
ly a man may carry bag without and dis
honest intention?
"Shes an operator at the telegraph office
and she was at the instrument when a
message came through to say that two
thieves with stolen securities were coming
down."
George stared for a moment in silence
at the doctor and then began to laugh
1t was annoying to have gone through
all the revulsions of feeling Of the past
hour for nothing, as 1t We're.
But what made her decide that l must

well, she met a policeman her way
home who told her that the thieves had
been seen to come in this direction
Then George put a practical question
which betrayed the interest he felt in
his fair captor:
"And do you let that young girl walk
home by herself late DIT night over this
wild countryP
The doctor shrugged his shoulders.
shes as self-willed as ever she can
be- In fact, she's getting too much for
me-" said DR.. Lowe with a sigh.
Il meet her in the town when / can and
bring her home. But the gypsy won't
wait for me, and she carries revolver,
as you have reason to know. Here she
comes again. For goodness sake say
something 20 her so that she may not
see me laughing"

narrow life usual with the women of the
middle classes. The very straightforward
spontaneity of her welcome to this stranger
was what one would have expec ted Of a
man. rather than of a young woman.
But the freshness, the unexpectedness
OF this was only another charm in the
dazzled eyes Of George Llewellyn. He
found his Heart beating faster, his tongue
faltering, as he looked at her shyIy, and
forced himself to make an excuse. 1t may
be noted that his first vague suspicious
had melted suddenly in the glow of her
beauty and of her gracious, smiling man
ner.
Il thank you, don't know how to thank
you enough" he stammered, already wav-
ering in his intention of going on; but 1
really ought not to take advantage of your
kindness. The fact is / am travelling with
some valuable securities"
A sort of sickness seized George when
he got as far as this, and made him sud
denly stop. For as soon as he mentioned
the securities he saw flash of light on
his hostess face. AS he paused, she took
up his speech for him.
IF you have anything of much value
about you, that is all the more reason
why you should not stumble about blindly
in the snow. as you were doing when /
first met you"
And she stepped out quickly from the
dining room into the hall, drew him in
side the house by an unexpected move
ment of a strong arm, and closed the front
door behind him before he had recovered
from the amazement into which the rap
idity and decisiveness of the movements
had thrown him.
Really, l must beg you to let me go on
now" said he, in low voice, as he made
strong effort to pull himself together.
and to resist the pressure which he knew
she was going to put upon him to stay.
And l must beg you to be more reason
able, and not to reject the good fortune
the gods send, just because it happens to
be offered by stranger"
Il am afraid 1 must seem ungracious"
said George quickly, as he put his hand
upon the handle of the door. But she,
laughing rather nervously, turned the big
key in the lock, and pulling 1t out in quite
a leisurely manner, thrust 1t into her pock-
ct, and sprang, almost at one bound, back
to the dining room door.
IF you say no to a woman, you know"
she said as she once more invited him, by
a gesture, to enter, 'she finds some way Of
circumventing you after ALL"

The Trick of Resting.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Few women know how to rest as they
should. They think that they must un-
dress and go to bed to be thoroughly COM
Portable. This is a mistake, provided there
is a tabouret or little footstool in the room
on which the feet may rest while the
other part OF the body is supported by a
chair You can read and rest comfortably
in this fashion, and let it be whispered
right here between ourselves that II we
want to gain a maximum Of rest In a min
lmum OF time We should copy that inele-
CANT but healthful trick Of the masculine
drones and put our feet occasionally high
er than our heads. Fashionable women,
to whom the necessity of never showing
fatigue and OF ever looking their best has
taught this knack, fall into this posture
whenever they are in the seclusion Of
their own apartments.

warm water and carefully maintain the contents
at temperature of 100 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit,
frequently shaking in order TO thoroughly expose
the food to the action of the solution
In the course OF very short time the contents
OF the bottle containing Paskola will be TO
dergo a change and in two or three hours the food
whereas the contents of the other bottle containing
the glucose and acid will show change beyond
a slight difference in appearance.
II you have neither the facilities nor the inclina
ton to make the test for yourself We have no
doubt that your druggist will be glad TO try the
experiment. The tubes herewith show the results
of a test made In our own laboratory. the cuts be-
ing from a photograph. No. contained glucose
and No. Paskola. What are we to conclude
One of two things; either that the ocalled Chem
ists'' are ignorant or dishonest.
Glucose has no digestive properties This Is a
well-known fact, whereas Paskola Is giving relief
to thousands of dyspeptcs, truth attested by the
unsolicited testimonials that pour In upon uJ. The
presence Of digestive ferments In Paskola cannot
be determined by chemical test. No one has ever
seen digestive ferments in a pure form, and the
only way 70 determine their presence Is by Obsev
ing the effects which they produce upon food
This is a fact recognized by every authority, and
Will be found stated in Fosters Physiology and
other standard works.
Another thing which these ignorant and Jealous
rivals have said about Paskola is that inasmuch
its basis is predgcsted starch, II is calculated to
encourage diabetes.
We cannot better answer this charge than by
quoting paragraph from report made to Mayor
Gilroy of New York by Dr. Cyrus Edison, commits
sioncr of health for the city of New York and for
the state of New York.
'Pre-digested starch is starch In the exact conii
ton that we ind IL prepared by the digestive
gans for assimilation 1t is pre-eminently fat
forming, heat producing food. Under a diet Of pre-
dgested starch or glucose man perform more
muscular work than under any other single article
of food. Pre-dgested starch not only is not in
out which in some form cannot enjoy life"
