Evelyn gazed down thoughtfully at

you. All that know of him is that

"And yet you were thanking him as
If he had done you the greatest service
upon earth!" said Falkland, accom-
panying his remark with a steady, pen
etrating look into Miss Luttrells face.
What do you mean?" A faint flush
deepened the color in Evelyn's cheeks.
II thanked him, of course. Whoever
the man is, he is certainly a gentle
man."
"Oh, yes, most probably" rejoined
Falkland, ironically. II know the
stamp Of fellow exactly. They always

A rather indignant little smile
crossed Evelyn's face.
These fellows" he proceeded, ARE
the greatest humbugs imaginable.

crowning event of his wonderful
career, and which is embodied in
new article of commerce, known as
Red Cross Starch (Red Cross trade
mark.) He is planning TO distribute
millions of packages Of this starch to
the housewives of America, at merely
nominal price to the consumer, in order
TO make its merits known without de-
Law. Thus, for but cents two large
10c packages Of Red Cross Starch may
be had, together with two magnificent
Shakespearean views printed in IL
beautiful colors, or a Twentieth Cen
tury Girl Calendar; or for only 20
cents 10 packages of the starch and
the entire series Of eight Shakespearean
views and one Twentieth Century Girl
Calendar-views alone easily worth

premium announcements, of which
every lady will certainly want to take
advantage.
While Mr.. Hubinger will devote his
best energies TO the manufacture OF
this new and wonderful starch, he will

OIlAI LIN AAA'
The sun was streaming with al the
nersistence of hot July morning sun
through the interstices of Venetian
blinds into a large private sitting room
on the ground floor of the Royal
George" as Evelyn Luttrell, looking
delightfully."- cool in a pink cotton gown,
nut in her head at the open window
and surveyed the scene in astonish-
ment.
Nobody down? Are we really the
first after all?" she exclaimed, ad-
vancing to the middle of the room and
glancing quickly from the table to the
clock on the chimney-piece. wei,
Sambo, it is of no use waiting. We
may as we'll go and see IL there are any
letters for us this morning"
AS she spoke she opened the door
and passed out into the cool, softly
carpeted corridor, which seemed, after
the heat and glare Of the beach, where
she and the poodle had been having a
run. a perfect paradise in contrast.
Swinging her hat carelessly in her
hand. she hurried along toward the
table where the morning delivery Of
letters was always to be found.
A tall, military-looking man in a
tight gray shooting-suit was standing
casually surveying the post as Evelyn
came up to it and rapidly scanned the
different addresses. Her scrutiny was
unsuccessful, however. Neither her
own nor her aunt's name met her eyes
upon any OF the envelopes, and she
had turned away and was about to
cross the hall. when voice suddenly
arrested her footsteps.

Stimulation of Drugs.

Stimulation of Drugs.
A professor in one of the many med
ical colleges of this city holds that
there is no need of buying and swal-
lowing advertised tonics, because they
accomplish no more than judiciously
selected diet will. The professor says
that spinach is richer in iron, which is
the basis of most tonics, than even the
yolk of an egg, while the latter con-
tains more than beef. The ordinary
dish of spinach and poached egg Is a
tonic as potent as one in which iron
forms a part, without the harmful eff
feet of other ingredients that enter into
the medical compound. Plants i'm
bibe iron, and it is through them that
we should absorb 1t into our system.
That mineral is present largely IN APP
pies, lentils, strawberries, white beans
peas, potatoes and most OF the red
fruits and vegetables. Stewed black
currants If taken daily in their season
will cure anaemia that has become
chronic. 1t Is the experience of mar

tive of scurvy, potatoes are a specific

cine chest. The concentrated form Of
all the fruits and vegetables that his

Remarkable Cureer OF n Weil-known
Western Capitalist, Mnnufnct-

Among the leaders of the progressive
element for which the midle west is
famous, Mr.. John c. Hubinger, Of Keo-

a manufactures, as an enterprising cap
italist and as philant hropist his fame
has spread over many states, and his
financial enterprises have developed
many obscure towns into progressive,
thrifty and wide-awake cities. Mr..
Hubinger, although but AZ years OF
age, can look back upon scores OF COM
mercial victories, each one Of which has
benefited mankind, for his liberality is
as bountiful as his business sagacity Is
marvellous. He was born in New Or
leans, La, his parents being of French
and German origin. When he was four
years old, his family removed to Ken
lucky, in which state young Hubinger
received a public school education. AL
most before reaching mans estate he
secured patents on a number OF val
liable mechanical inventions, thereby
laying the foundation of his present
fortune.
By inclination and force of circum-
stances his attention was early direct
ed to the manufacture of starch by i'm
proved processes, and in the course OF
time he became the head of a concern
having an annual business of millions
of dollars. Bat genuine ambition

CHAPTER II.-(Continued.)

Great was his disappointment, how
ever, as he laid the book on the table
and opened it at the page at which 1t
had begun to open naturally, to find
that, instead Of the strangers eyes
being riveted, as everybody's always
were, TO the bottom of the leaf, where

few minutes later Major Brown,
as he designated himself, rose alb
ruptly from his chair, and, with his
hands in his pockets, was crossing the
room toward the door, when a glimpse
of a dainty lace handkerchief lying
half concealed beneath the folds of a
tablecloth attracted his notice. He
stopped to get it, and, glancing at the
monogram and crest embroidered in
one corner, was about to hand it to
one of the walters to deliver it to its
rightful owner, when faint smile for
the moment dispelled the frown which
had gathered upon his forehead and,
without word, he quietly placed it in
the inside pocket of his coat.
