After that. by the mercy Of God.

teranccs. Combined with the evening
shadows and the warm soft air it Of
fered to the heart an almost irresistible
appeal. The mans artificial antago-
nism modified. the woman's olsen
chantment began to seem unreal.
Then subtly over and through the
bird song another sound became audi
ble. At first 1t merely repeated the
three notes family like IN echo, but
with rich. sad undertone that brought
tears. Then timidly and still softly 1t
elaborated the theme. weaving in and
out through the original three the gilt
ter and simmer of splendid web Of
sound. spreading before the awakened
Imagination n broad river of woods i'm

the subter moods Of the forest
With the first sigh of the wonder mu-
sic the girl had started and caught her
breath Mt the exquisite pleasure of it.
AS 1t went on they both forgot every
thing but the harmony and each other.
"Ah, beautiful"' she murmured
"What Is iti' he whispered, marvel

"A vioin-played by master"
The bird suddenly hushed. and Mt
once the strain abandoned the woods

1t played softly in the higher notes. a
tinklng. lightsome little melody that
stirred a kindly surface smile over n
full heart. Then suddenly. without
transition. it dropped to the lower reg
lister and began to sob and wall In the
full vibrating power of great pas
sion.
And the theme II treated was love.
At last the poignant ecstasy seemed
slowly. slowly to die. Fainter and
fainter ebbed the music. Through it as
through a mist the solemn aloof forest
began to show to the consciousness Of
the two. They sought each others eyes.

this day. The lumberman caused
search and inquiry on all sides. The
cripple was never heard of again.

I'll have to let my stock go OH margins.
It'll be an awful smash. But you'll get

an awful fool. and I've no right to do
the getting into trouble and leave you
to the hard work of getting out again.
But as partner I'm going to insist on

The news aroused all Thorpe's mar
tial spirit. Now at last the mystery
surrounding Morrison & Days unnat-
ural complaisance was riven. 1t had
come to grapples again. He was glad
of it. He thrust the letter in his pocket
and walked buoyantly 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 Hllda must return to
the city. 1t was uncertain when they
would be able to see each other again.
Suddenly the girl broke off 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 muflled beat
ing Of heart. Gradually 1t had insist
ed on the attention.
"What Is it!' she asked.
Thorpe listened. Then his face lit
nightly with the joy Of battle.
"My aXmen." he cried. "They are

A faint call echoed. Then without
warning nearer at hand. and the sharp
ring of an AK sounded through the for

ONLY A SUGGESTION
But It Has Proven Of Interest and
value TO Thousands.

Common sense would suggest that II
one wishes to become heshy and plump
IL can only result from the food we eat
and digest and that food should be al.
luminous or flesh forming food, like
eggs, beefsteak. and cereals; in other
words, tho kinds Of food that make
flesh are the foods which form the
greater part Of our daily bills Of fare.
But tho trouble is that, while we eat
enough, and generally too much, the
stomach, from abuse and overwork,
does not properly digest and assimilate
Il, which is the reason 80 many people
remain thin and under weight the di-
gestive organs do not completely d.
gcst the aesh-forming beefsteak, eggs
and similar wholesome food.
There are thousands Of such who are
really confirmed dyspepties, although
they may have no particular pain or
Inconvenience from their stomaehs.
II such persons would lay their
preiudices aside and make a regular
practice Of taking, after each meal, one
or two Of stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
tho food would be quickly and thor
oughly digested, because these tablets
contain the natural peptones and dias-
tasc which every weak stomach lackg,
and by supplying this want the stom-
ach is soon enabled to reach its natural
tone and vigor.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest
every kind Of acshforming food,
meat, eggs, bread and potatoes, and
this is tho reason they 20 quickly build
up. strengthen and invigorate thin,
dyspoptio mon, women and children.
tnvalids and children, even Tho most
delicate, use them with marked benefit,
AZ they contain no strong irritating
drugs, no athartie nor any harmful In

stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are tho
most successful and most widely known
Of any remedy for stomach troubles
