CHAPTER xIv.-(continued.)

SAA<AA A<k huOu'y
Then there was an old gentleman
who walked up and down in front o.
her windows every morning from hate
past nine to ten O'Clock, and again ev-
cry afternoon from half-past two to
three. He looked like an old general,
and Dorothy felt quite friendly toward
him because he belonged to her darl-
ing Dicks profession. But even an
old general can get m%onotonous in
time. particularly when he does the
same things day after day-and this
n always did. After his early norm
ing constitutional he invariably went
in to his house and was seen no more
until he came out to do his half hour
of regular tramping again at half-past
two. But after his second dose he
always looked at his watch when al
adjacent clock struck the hour, and
then shook himself together and tod
died off as IL he were going to town
going to his club, Dorothy thought.
But oh! dear, dear, it was all dread
fully slow. and before she had been a
month in her new home Dorothy was
pining, pining for some friend
to talk to, to confide in, to be friends
with.
or course, to set off against this,
there were the gay and glorious times
when Dick came home. sometimes only
between afternoon parade and morning
stables. which meant a little dinner
somewhere. a theater after Ii, and a
train leaving Liverpool street at some
unearthly hour in the morning. AT
other times, however. Dick managed
to squeeze a two-days' leave oft of his
colonel. and then Dorothy felt-ay, and
said. poor child-that life was worth
living, and that she would not change
her lot for that of any other woman in
all the wide world.
So. poor child, her life slipped by
in a continual change from grave 10

tenderest love set in a large surface of
unutterable dullness and wearying de-
preston.

Dick, whether, when we are able to

Dick laughed aloud at the earnest

He always found 1t an easy matter
to comfort and reassure the little wife
who loved him so dearly, and al
though, by living so much alone AMI
without proper companionship, she
was apt to brood over the circum-
stances of her life and to ~conjure up
all sorts of gloomy fancies and dread
shadows which might come to pass at
some future time. these mists always
yielded before the irresistible sunshine
of his love, and they were happier, If
possible, than they had been afore-
time.

GAVE WIFE WRONG MEDICINE

Mrs. Irving, wife Of Shelby Irving of
the Boston & Montana company is lying
ill at her home, 800 West Quartz street
partially as the result of a mistake made
by Mr.. Irving Monday evening while ad-
ministering medicine to his wife. Mrs
Irving has been i'll for some time and
for a number of weeks has had nurse
attending her.
A few days ago it was decided that the
nurse was no longer necessary and she
was dismissed. Members of the family
took turns attending the sick woman.
and Monday evening when time came
for the medicine Mr.. Irving admins
tered from bottle containing what he
supposed to be tonic DIR. McCrimmon,
the attending physician had prescribed.
Beside the tonic bottle was another
containing creolin which was used for
exterior purposes. The creolin appeared
similar in color to the tonic and there
being no difference in the size of the
bottles Mr. Irving very easily made a
mistake and gave his wife creolin.
Mrs Irving realized that her husband
had given her the wrong medicine inn
mediately after taking it and SO stated
to Mr.. Irving. Medical aid was quickly
summoned and the sick woman soon re-
lieved. Doctor McCrimmon stated that
the medicine was not deadly poison and
there was no danger of serious results
at any time.
