The news aroused all Thorpe's mar
tial spirit. Now at last the mystery
surrounding Morrison & Daly's unnat-
ural c0mplaisance was riven. It had
come to grapples again. He was glad
Of it. He thrust the letter in his pocket
and walked buoyanuy to the pines.
The two lovers sat there all the after
noon drinking in half sadly the joy of
the forest and Of being near each other.
In week the camping party would be
breaking up, and Hilda must return to
the city. 1t was uncertain when they
would be able to see each other again.
Suddenly the girl broke OF and put
her fingers to her lips. For some time
dimly an intermittent and faint sound
had been felt rather than actually
heard, like the irregular mufled beat
ing Of a heart. Gradually it had insist
ed on the attention.
'sWhat is it," she asked.
Thorpe listened. Then his fa3e lit
nightly with the joy Of battle.

cutting the road"
A faint call echoed. Then without
warning nearer at hand, and the sharp
ring of an az sounded through the for

this day. The lumberman caused
search and inquiry on all sides. The

persuaded himself and her that he had
always in some mysterious manner
carried her image prophetically in his
heart. So much for the love of it.
In the last days Of the month of de-
light Thorpe received second letter
from his partner, which to some extent
awakened him to the realities.

Braia Food Nonsense.

Another ridicuous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent Authorities. They have dis
PEELED the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still al.
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however,
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to
healthy action, purifes the blood
and makes you feel buoyant and
vigorous. You can get DR..
