she rode with gracefully dropping

toward the girl with the haughtily car

"Randalin! What will he do-the
King-when he finds that we have
fooled Ulf Jarl, and come hither
against his commando
The Danish girl laughed recklessly.
Little do l care, Candida, to tell 1t
.ruthfully. Nothing can be worse than
sitting in that abbey. Think that you
will sleep in the palace tonight"
Catching this last phrase, as her
Valkyria came abreast of her, Elfgiva
spoke pettishly: you see fit to sing
different tune from what you did
when you tried to hinder me from this
undertaking. l should have brighter
topes if had not given ear to your ad-
VIZ to send messenger ahead. If |

Her attention wandered as a couple

between the guards only to catch a
nearer glimpse of her face, after which
they allowed themselves to be thrust
back, shouting drunken toasts to her
beauty.

girl made offer.

laughed, neither angrily nor bitterly
but with the quietness Of utter con-

he said. THAT is all you understand
about being a queen"
She tried to protest, to caJole, TO
threaten. She tried to do so many
things at once that she accomplished
none of them. Her speech became
less and less Ineligible until tears
and hysterical laughter reduced it to
mere mouthings, while her tiny hands
beat the air with fingers bent hook
like.

her again. He had rejoined his mobiles

the trampling as they stepped from
the turf upon the tagging of the gal

When the echoing tread was gone at
last from the cloister, the garden
seemed strangely silent in spite Of the
hurrying servants-silent and empty.
In the stiffness it came slowly to Ran

she had supposed; that she was not
going to die of her grief, but to live

Freedom, Mimi, October II tSpe-
ciaD-Mr. R. e. Coward, well-known
man here is rejoicing in the relief
from suffering he has obtained
through using Dodd's Kidney rllls'
His experience is well worth repeating
as it should point the road to health
to many another in similar condi-
ton.
Il had an aggravating case OF Kid
ney Trouble" says Mr.. Coward, that
gave me no rest day or night but
using a few boxes Of Dodd's Kidney
Pills put new life in me and l feel like
a new man.
81 am happy to state l have received
great and wonderful benefit from
Dodd's Kidney Pills. l would heartily
recommend all sufferers from Kidney
Trouble to give Dodd's Kidney Pills a
fair trial as l have every reason to be-
.lieve it would never be regretted"
Dodd's Kidney Pills make you feel
like a new man or woman because
they cure the kidneys. Cured kidneys
mean pure blood and pure blood
means bounding health and energy IN
every part of the body.

CHAPTER xx-Continued.

But the king did not spring upon his
foster-brother Even as they looked
the fire went out in his eyes, spark by
spark, until they were lustreless as
ashes, and at last he put up his hand
and wiped great drops from his fore
head. Heavy is it to lose faith in
others, but heavier still to lose faith in
ones self. / know that no word
of mine urged Edric to this deed, but
what my eyes may have said, or some
trick of my voice or my face, is not so
sure. 1t may be that | wanted
this thing to happen without knowing
it. Il is true that / do not always
know for certain what have at heart"
His eyes came back from space to rest
musingly on Elfgiva. when | began
this feasting-time, l thought I had
grasped heaven with my hands, but
now"-he spread out his fingers and
released the little bunch of dead leaves
that he had been rolling against his
palm-"now let not this go from me
more easily. You see that a man
is not sure even Of his own mind"
He dashed his fist against the tree
beside him and did not seem to feel it
when his hand was bleeding. Il will
be such a king that there will not be
many to equal me; such king that
they will wish they had given me hap
piness and left me man."
Whirling, he flung out his bleeding
hand toward Elfgiva, and his mouth
was distorted with its bitterness.
Hear that, you who were so mad to
have your lord the King of England
that you could not spend thought on
the love of Canute of Denmark! You
have got your wish,-go back now to
your Northamptonshire castle and
think whether or not you are glad
dened by it."
GO back!" Elfgiva fell from her
height of injured dignity with a pierre
ing scream. What is it you say,
King? Now by the splendor of heaven,
you depart not for London without

apple tree of fine quality but how to
develop our work and turn the apple
tree INTO a productive and profitable
tree was another question.
II needed sunshine and the kind OF
sunshine that is spread by the news
papers and magazines. 1t is an abso-
lutte certainty that without the pub
licity thus given-in other words, the
sunshine-the business never would
have developed.
You have seen to-day factory build
ings-thirteen or fourteen in number
covering many acres Of ground, en-
ploying hundreds of workpeople, pro-
ducing food and drink in an aggregate
of four million packages per month,
which goes to every civilized country
on the globe, and yet the entire enter
prise is less than 9 years old. We
have found it necessary, inasmuch as
the tree has grown and the apples ma
tured by hard work and sunshine, to
continue the work and the sunshine
day In and day out. month in and
month out, the sunshine appropriation
amounting to approximately a million
dollars a year for advertising, for ex-
parience teaches that IL you mature
the tree under strong sunshine, and
bring II up to a thrifty and healthful
state where II produces profitable ap-
pies. you can not withdraw that sun
shine else the tree will gradually die.

TALK ON ADVERTISING


Some thoughtful man might say that
il what you manufacture has merit,
once you get trade established peo-
pie will continue to purchase, even IT.
the advertising is stopped, but to act
on that conclusion would be a fatal
mistake, for there are always bright
men on the lookout to steal your ap'
pies, and if you give them the chance
they will come in and take the fruit,
sure. Right here let us drive a nail,
not a shingle nail but forty penny
spike Your article must have merit,
far and away beyond the ordinary I'M
advertised thing. 1t should be the
very best that human intelligence and
ingenuity can produce. Then you have
foundation to build upon that will
not slip out from under when the
building grows heavy. There are per-
sons ignorant enough to believe that
a poor article can be advertised into
success. 1t cannot and any one who
tries the experiment will pay heavily
for his experience. Critically examine
any well known and advertised article
that has been years on the market and

The sunshine that makes a business

The sunshine that makes business
plant grow is advertising.
Growing a business nowadays is
something like growing an apple-tree.
You may select good seed, plant it in
good soil, water and work with it, but
the tree will not produce fruit until
another and most powerful, energiz-
ing and life-giving element is brought
to bear. You must have sunshine and
lots of it. Can you expect to ripen
apples in the dark? Can you expect
to grow a profitable business plant
nowadays without the sunshine of pub
lie favor produced by advertising?
This Postum plant is a good illus
tration of that law. 1t seems but
short time ago when l put a few men
at work in the carriage house of the
barn you have seen to-day, where we
began making Postum coffee.
The seed then planted, less than 9
years ago, was new kind of apple
seed and it was not altogether certain
how the people would like the apples.
We did our work thoroughly and
plenty of it. We knew we had a good

SAFEST FOOD

Food to rebuild the strength and
that is pre-digested must be selected
when one is convalescent. At this
time there is nothing so valuable as
Grape Nuts, for the reason that this
food is all nourishment and is also all
digestible nourishment. A woman who
used it says:
Some time ago | was very ill With
typhoid fever, so i'll everyone thought
/ would die, even myself. 1t left me
so weak l could not properly digest
food of any kind and l also had much
bowel trouble which left me a weak,
helpless wreck.

anyone could, but none of the tonics
helped me until / finally tried Grape
Nuts food morning and evening. This
not only supplied food that thought
delicious as could be, but 1t also made
me perfectly well and strong again

well, can eat anything without any
trace of bowel trouble and for that
reason alone Grape-Nuts food is worth

The neighborhood of Boston and OF

places where the industry survives.
The seed is sown early in April, on
little entertainments. and the plants
grow from three feet to four feet
high. The cultivation is laborious, as
the ground has to be weeded con-
stantly. and to do this men and wom-

The harvest goes on from August
