"Oh, certainly / will let you know;
1t is very good of you to be so inter-
ested." Esther answered.
All! that Is good of you. | am an
old man now, and it is the distressing
habit Of old people to worry themselves
about everything. l shall worry more
or less about your cousin until | know
she is about again"
oh, you mustn't do that" said
Esther, laughing. "Then you are 60

Yes, / am going to Aylmer's Field
for a few days" he replied. Blythe

carriage at your disposal during my

Il thought she was going to be diff.

woman, and, after all, the same bats

Never knoo I'M take such a heap Of

the coachman.

functionary, with a wink.
The old lord was in luck's way, fol
just as they reached the orn of tbs
hospital Amelia Harris came out of the
big building. She saw him in a mo,
ment, and Lord Aylmer called out FOL
the carriage to stop. The carriage drew
up close beside the curb, and Amelia
Harris stood quite close to the door, So
that not a word of her conversation
could be heard by the two stiff and sol
emn figures who sat with their head.

A wOMAN.s HEART.
Mrs. SamueI G.. Dyer Tells n Harrow
ing Tale of suffering.

Mrs. SnmucI G.. Dyer Tells "A Harrow
ing Tale Of suffering.
M'Carron, Mich, April S~.-tSpecial)
Mrs. Samuel G. Dyer of this place
has given the following interesting let
ter for publication:
"For years / suffered intense pain In
the region of the heart. I doctored
with the best physicians. Some OF
them would relieve M for a short
time, but the pain always returned.
My heart was so bad that / would have
to sit up in bed for hours to get relief.
I would lie awake almost all night. l
am G. years of age, and no one can I'M
derstand how much I suffered with
this Heart Trouble.
About a year ago I heard OF Dodis
Kidney Pills and commenced to use
them. From the first my condition
improved. The pain in my heart grad
ually grew less, and my general health
much better, and now I can say posi-
lively that / am entirely cured. I can
sleep all night, end enjoy almost per-
feet health. j thank God for the cure
that has come to me through the use
Of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
81 have thought long over the mat
ter Of giving this letter for publication,
and am doing so now without any so
licitation whatever. and simply be-
cause I feel 1t my duty to express the
profound gratitude / feel for my re-
covery, and to let others. who may be
suffering az I was. know how they
may find a cure. i know that nothing
else but Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me,
because I have taken no other medi-
cine for over a year. / feel better now
than I nave for many years. and 1t Is
all due to the use Of Dodd's Kidney
Pills"
Mrs. Dyer's case and its cure has at
tracted a great deal OF attention, and
her letter is a splendid tribute TO the
curative properties Of Dodd's Kidney
Pills.

Roll Eggs i'm Cold WINTER.

This egg tastes as if it had been
boiled in hot water" said the emanci>
pated young woman with the short
hair. Il can always tell in a minute if
an & has been cooked in that way"
Her companion had not learned quite
so many things. and was quite satisfied
with her egg. She only murmured,
softly:
Il never heard of an egg being
boiled in cold water, did you?"
1T is high time you were introduced
to this institution her wise friend
continued. and / am delighted to IL.
Illuminate you, even at the risk Of
arousing more or less sarcasm. An egg
to be boiled properly for human con-
sumption should be put into cold wa
ter and then placed yer the fire. The
1t cooks with the water. The egg cooks,
moreover, thoroughly and from the in
side.
ASK a physician or a trained nurse
how to boil an egg so that its greatest
nutriment and flavor shall be pre-
served. Either of them will tell you
to put 1t in cold water. The old way OF
dropping an egg into boiling water has
long been given up. 1t used to cook
the 6 suddenly and destroy its IA
vor.
So don't be sarcastic because you
haven't heard of the century's ad-
ance."-New Yory Sun.

that anything of the kind was in the

He felt, this wicked and willy old
man, that he would have to be contin-

eyed young lady. BY her advent the
difficulties of the situation would be
greatly increased; IL he succeeded now
in ousting Dick and getting hold OF
Dorothy. 1t would be in spite of Miss
Esther Brand. Yet the difficulties OF
the situation only made him the more
anxious to come off victor in the end,
only made him more determined to
win Dorothy if possible, whether 1t
were by hook or crook.

The mere mention of a lord was suf-
6cient to send the nurse of to the
door in a hustle; perhaps the good wo-
man scented a tip in the near future.

the great man, he was astonished to
see a stout, misunderstanding body
standing, smiling and ~curtseying with

lis he?' said Esther. mo, I've new
er seen him.
Meantime Lord Aylmer, suspecting
nothing of what had happened. was
standing at the window, watching his
horses, his keen and wicked old eyes
having noticed during the few mo-
ments that he had been in the room
that Dicks portrait had gone. He
heard the sound Of the door opening,
and turned to meet, not Dorothy, in
her flowing blue draperies, with Ter
sweet, shy gray Eyes uplifted to his,
but a tall, dark-eyed young woman in
o plain gray gown, who came forward
and held out her hand in what was
Enthusiastically the fashion of a woman
who considered herself his social equal.
Good morning, Lord Aylmer," she
very much for all your kindness to my
little cousin, who is very lonely just
now. Ny name is Brand-Esther
Brand"
Lord Aylmer could not help starting
q little, but he covered II by a pro-
found bow and a protestation that he
was delighted-enchanted, In fact-to
have the honor of making Miss Brands
acquaintance.
So this was the Esther of whom she
had spoken in her letter-Esther
Brand; ay, and likely to prove a brand
between him and her. He looked with
disgust, and a thousand bad words
jostled one another in his heart the
while, at Esther's pale. resolute face,
her firm, white, capable hands, noted
her fearless manner, and admitted that
she was Enthusiastically a woman of ed
ucation and good breeding. And it is
only fair to say that Lord Aylmer pos
itively cursed his ill-luck even while
he kept a smooth and smiling front to
the enemy.
And shall | not have the pleasure
OF seeing Mrs.-er-Harris this morn-
ing?" he asked, finding presently that
there was no sign of Dorothy's appear
ance.
Miss Brand laughed. We'll, hard

well as could possibly be expected un-

What circumstances" Lord Aylmer
asked, thinking that Miss Brand was
alluding to Barbara's accident.
1.-THE circumstances of a baby" said
Esther, smiling.
"Of what? Forgive me. but | do not
follow you," he said.
my cousin has got a baby, Lord Ayl-

broadly.
