and for an instant rested one hand upon
his tawny hair then she turned and traced
her way to the ledge, and the Norwegian
did not rise until he knew that she had
passed out of his view.
That evening, an hour after the depar-
ture of Thor and Craddock a tired courier
arrived at the hunting lodge OF the Ger
man prince, where the princess was a
guest. He came from the king of Den
mark and the letter that he delivered bore
the royal seal IL announced the death IN
the hunting field of Prince Charles OF Rou-
mania and directed that Charlotte should
at once return to Copenhagen to enter upon
period OF mourning with proper respect

she glided within their embrace. He bent
his head downward and she raised her face
to his. Their lips met. They remained
thus for moment, silently, and then,
gliding from his embrace. she returned to
her guests, but there was new light in
her eyes and new Joy in her heart. Her
words to Thor, spoken under the tam
aracks and spruces, had been prophetic.
The good God who had implanted this love
in their hearts had decided their fates.

He paused and the princess did not reply.
She stood with clasped hands and down
cast eyes. She breathed rapidly while her
face flushed, became pale and then flushed
again; and the great Dane withdrew his
massive head from beneath the hand OF
Thor and, going to her, thrust his nose

seemed to be pleading the cause OF the

Olive Oil For Indigestion.

One has only to consider how olive
oil is used in the warm parts of Europe
where the olive oil is cultivated and
how ghee is used in India in order to
satisfy oneself that oily matter may be
taken with facility in hot countries as
well as in cold. You hear nothing
about indigestion in these lands. You
find that Il bad olive harvest or scant
supply Of ghee is a great national ca
lamity. 4 HindOO servant of 4 friend
who kept up his Indian habits of eat
ing in London has told me that in his
own case nothing would make up for
deficiency of ghee or butter, and that
his experience in this matter was
the common experience of his country
men at home or away from home. In
deed it may be taken for granted that
oil may be used in large quantities
throughout the year in the hot, olive
growing countries of the south of Eu-
rope not only without making the peo-
pie bilious or out of order in any way,
but with unmistakable benefit.

cases Of severe gastric distress. In his
first case the young man had suffered
from an injury in the gastric region,
and it seemed probable that an ulcer
had resulted. The pain on eating was
so great as to make him avoid food. A
wineglassful Of olive oil taken before
meals gave complete relief. The same
remedy was tried in other cases in
which stomach discomfort was prom
inent symptom. Even in cases Of gas
trio cancer relief was afforded to many
symptoms. In cases of Pylorus steno-
sis most satisfactory results were Sc
cured as far as the alienation of symp-
toms was concerned. Cohnheim has
treated u cases of gastric catarrh by
this method with uniformly good re-
suits whenever the patients bore the
oil well. Patients who had lost so much

his practice at the Hospital Andra DR.

and knows how efficient it is where
less simple remedies have failed. He
recommends it with confidence, despite

Central and Western New York;.
2. New York to Buffalo (via the Del
aware Water Gap, Scranton, Elmira,

3. Boston and New England points to
Buffalo connecting with Route No. l
at Albany.
T. Boston and New England points to
Buffalo (via Providence, New London,
steamboat to Grcenport Long Island;
cycle paths of Suffolk County to Brook
lyn, connecting with Route No. l or ,
at New York;.
5. Washington, Baltimore and Phila-
delphia to Buffalo connecting with
Route No. at the Delaware Water
Gap or Scranton).
6. St Louis and Chicago to Buffalo
(via Toledo, Cleveland and Erie. The
road from Erie to Buffalo along the
south shore of Lake Erie. through the
Grape belt, has been called the finest
100 mile straightaway in America.
