glimpse of her averted face.
In a little while, she turned her eyes,
misty and half-strained, up to his.

He bent down to her suddenly; the
perfume of her hair swept through him

three times, on the lips.

They walked on, silence between them,
down the twisting, sun-dappled lane
"You don't love him." said Treviston,
finally.
"N-no."
"And you do love-me."
Heaven help mel"
"And you are going with me-away
from here-away from everything
away from him!"
He looked down at her, flushing, the
veins in his neck throbbing.
The woman drew quick breath; the
muscles of her face twitched spasmod-
ically. "That I cannot" she said, in a
changed voice.
The other frowned unobserved, look
of determination setting his face.
"Katherine!" he said, sharply, "you

When Mrs. Presley entered the room,
Treviston was standing before an open
window, looking out into the dusk. He
turned at the sound of her step, and came
forward with outstretched hands.
"Only year." he said. "but it has
seemed like century,"
She motioned him to chair, and took
the one opposite. "a lifetime, Dick" she
returned, with faint smile, land, oh,
how have missed you; how have want
ed you!"
give been away-very far away" he
explained, ''since that day-the day you
were taken ill-the day we were to have
commenced a new life-together. But
now" He broke off and the light came
to his eyes, deeply.
'Now," she took up his words quickly,
now we are back again to the old bitter
problem. In spite of times perspective.
these things seldom change" In her
voice was little tremor Of joy, despite
the assumption of regret. She regarded
him, tentatively.
Treviston leaned close to the woman,
and again took her hands in his, press
ing them softly between his cold fingers.
There is no bitter problem, Kate; only
life and hope and love-always."
For long time Mrs. Presley did not
speak; words seemed out of place to
her now. At last she glanced up, two
glowing points of color in her cheeks pro-
Eueotrs Observation-Disclosures
the rest of the face, grown, In the past
year, transparency pale.
For the first time, Treviston noticed
that she was wearing all black, and a
sudden, inexplicable uneasiness swept
over him.
"Why do you wear those clothes?" he
asked, abruptly.
Mrs. Presley WINGED, as though under
a probe, and flash of tears for mo-
ment made her eyes misty. Her glance
fell away from his in the pause that fol-
lowed.
Surely" she faltered, "you know
you have heard-that my husband"
She broke off, struggling for self-mas-
terry.
Treviston went white, white as the
shirt he wore. No, he said, he had not
heard. AS matter of fact. his steam
er had but just arrived; he had seen
no one that he knew. He stared at her
stupidity, as he made the announcement.
Mrs. Presley was regarding him with
darkened eyes. Her lids contracted as
the lids of one in sudden pain.
Treviston shifted in his chair, holding
his glance stubbornly averted, but his
consciousness did not escape the YER
dict of her eyes.
He rose mechanically and moved over
to the mantel. For second he stood
staring oddly at the face of tiny Delft
clock.
A silence, charged with fierce mental
struggle, fell between them. At last
Mrs. Presley left her seat and crossed the
room to his side. The lines about her
eyes and mouth had deepened for life
time.
"Good-by," she said, with a sort of
strange calms "good-by for all time
might have known this, Dick; surely
might have known!" The lips that
framed the words were as bloodless as
the white rose at her throat.
The sweat broke out on Treviston's
face. When he had collected himself, he
put out his hand, blindly. ''Katherine!"
he cried.
She turned and looked at him curious
ly, and a certain hardness came into her
face. .. ..-
A moment later, the door closed noise
lessly behind her.

"Trite; that's just it. You lack the
courage, you women, the courage of your
honest inclinations." He spoke almost
fiercely, but presently softened and went
on in low tone: "You are sure, Kate,
are you not, that we would be happy
together?"
For time, perhaps"
He bent to look into her face, forcing
the appeal of his eyes upon her "And for
a little time-just a little year-or a
week-or hour in the calendar of love
what would all eternity matter?"
The woman began to tremble as she
listened. DON'T" she said, chokingly.

off physical blow.
They moved on in silence for several
minutes. Treviston was the first to
speak. ~

awhile, calmly.

riedly, Eat ten o'clock-at this spot. The

Mrs. Presley whitened to the temples;
once she opened her lips as though to
speak, then closed them again and her
head dropped.

twenty-five have signified their inten-

Peruna the Soldiers Friend.

No wonder the American soldier is
friend of Peruna, when such a le-
nowned officer as Gen. Longstreet gives
Peruna his hearty endorsement. Every
one connected with the army and
navy can have no reasonable doubt as
to the merits of the remedy. No rem
edy ever yet devised has received such
unstinted eulogy from so many Ie-
nowned statesmen and military men
as Peruna.
90 There is a natural reason for this.
Peruna is a specific for catarrh, whcI-
ever located. 1t not only instantly
cures acute catarrh, but even old cases
of chronic catarrh vanish under it's
persistent use. The soldier is espe-
cially subject to catarrh in some fcrm
or phase. Exposed as he is to con-
slant changes, subjected as he is to
the vicissitudes of climate, wet and
dry. night and day, he finds catarrh
to be his most insidious and ever pres
ent foe. In field and barracks. Peru
ma is equally efficacious. Taken in
time, it will absolutely prevent each
ing cold. After the cold has become
established Peruna will break it up
quicker than any remedy known to
man. Even after the cold has settled
in some organ. Peruna can he relied
upon to promptly dispel it.
This is why Peruna is so popular in
the army and navy to-day. 1t is pre-
cisely the remedy that meets the par
ticulaF ills to which this class of peo-
pie are exposed. Our army and navy
is the natural protection Of our coun-
try; Peruna is the natural protection
of the army and navy in the vicisSi-
tudeS of climate and exposure.
