Sour
Stomach

No appetite, loss of strength. nervous
ness, headache, constipation. bad breath,
general debility, sour risings, and catarrh of
the stomach are all due to Indigestion. Kodol
cures indigestion. This new discovery repre-
sents the natural juices of digestion as they
exist in healthy stomach, combined with
the greatest known tonic and reconstructive
properties. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure does not
only cure indigestion and dyspepsia, but this
famous remedy cures all stomach troubles
by cleansing, purifying, sweetening and
strengthening the mucous membranes lining
the stomach.

He laughed. Said that the South

the girl impetuousIy.

been kind to him. In that settlement
after the war there will be struggle,
I'll warrant you"

cried Fanny Glen, turning reproaca-
fully to Sempland.
"I never said he was not a gentle

Sempland said nothing. He would
not interfere now. Fanny Glen must
answer for herself. He clenched his
teeth and strove to control himself.
In spite Of his efforts, however, the
blood famed into his dark face. Fanny

shone like stars in the pallor OF her

too.
And Fanny Glen had not rejected
him; neither had she accepted him.
She had pleaded for time, she had
hesitated and would have been lost had
Sempland been as wise as he was brave.
Perhaps he wasn't quite master of him
self on account Of his experience in
war, and his lack of it in women, for
he instantly conceived that her hesita-
tion was due to some other cause than
maldenly incertitude, and that Harry
Lacy, Of whom he had grown nightly
jealous, was at the bottom OF it.
He hated and envied Lacy, More, he
despised him for his weaknesses and
their consequences. The two had been
before the outbreak OF the war they
had drifted apart.
Sempland did not envy Lacy any tall
ents that he might possess. for he was
quite confident that the only thing he
himself lacked had been opportunity
Fate had not been kind to him, but the
war was not yet over. Consequently.
when he jumped to the conclusion that
Fanny Glen preferred Lacy, he fell into
further error and made the frightfuI
mistake Of depreciating his rival.
Assuming with masculine inconsis-
tency that the half acceptance she had
given him entitled him to decide her
future, he actually referred to Lacy's
well-known habits and bade her have
nothing to do with him.
