| and Tony, it had disappeared. Indeed
the bank officials saw plainly now
i that there was little friendship be-
tween the two; for, though Mr.. Ham
ilton was affable when they CHANGED
to meet, Tony had little to say to him
and never went near the house. How
ever, he was as respectful as ever
toward Mrs. Hamilton. ~
All this time her attitude toward
Mr.. Hamilton did not swerve from its
coldness and reserve. She palpably
shrank from being alone with him,
or having any private conversation.
And he never seemed to resent her
attitude. Instead, he grew to love her
better and more tenderly every day.
He was often conscious that Con-
stance was submitting him to tests,
as if she still doubted that he was
indeed her husband, and one day he
said to her:
Look at me, Constance; my hands,
my height, features, gait; consider me
in every way. Do l differ in any re-
speCt, taking into account the trifling
changes my mental disturbance pro-
duced, from the husband Of a few
months ago? Tell me, Constance, and
tell me truly"
why do you question me?" she
asked. 81 have never said you were
not my husband"
NO, Constance, and in your heart
you know that ! am, though you affect
to ignore my claims and to act as If
you doubted me, even though you do
not say so to me-"
He had never spoken to her so
plainly and sternly before, and she
trembled as she looked into his face.
Tell me-" she said in low, clear
tone, with every particle of interest. it
appeared, of which her nature was
capable, concentrated upon her Ques-
ton, tell me where l always laid
my head when l went to sleep"
He looked at her moment before
replying, "At the foot of the bed. 1t
was a fancy of yours"
NO, it was a habit, but no matter"
and she moved to the piano.
Sing to me, will you not, Con-
stance?"
Yes. Shall it be your favorite?"
Eyes, if your have not forgotten it."
ooh, no. l never forget. Find it
for me, please"
For a moment he gazed at her earn
estly. Then he glanced through the
pile of music till he came to Annie
Laurie" which he placed before her.
She sang the song in sweet, thrill
| ing tone that brought out all its ten

II began to use Postum because the
old kind of coffee had SO poisoned my
whole system that / was on the point
of breaking down, and the doctor
warned me that | must quit 1t.
My chief ailment was nervousness
and heart trouble.
Any unexpected noise would cause
me the most painful palpitation. make
me faint and weak.
Il had heard of Postum and began
10 drink 1t when left of the old cof-
fee. It began to help me just as soon
as the old effects OF the other kind OF
coffee passed away. 1t did not stim-
ulate me for while, and then leave
me weak and nervous as coffee used
to do. Instead of that 1t built up my
strength and supplied constant yigor
10 my system which can always re-
y on. It enables me to do the big

mother. Get into bed, and l will

Mr.. Hamilton looked at the group
with misty eyes and a strange, yearn-
ing gaze Then putting on his hat he
suddenly left the house, and walked
down the street, encountering a man
who stopped to speak to him. But
Mr. Hamilton brushed him one side,
unceremOniOusly, as he said:
II you must see me, come to the
office tomorrow. Not tonight"
Are you sick?" asked the man
peering into his face.
Yes, sick of living"
The man shrank back without re-
plying and Hamilton strobe on until
he met Mr.. Carter, who asked him
where he was going.

listener.
Il wish could prove to my Annie
Laurie what would do for her." he
said, in low, breathing tone, as he
stopped to lay aside the music as she
finished.
"You have" she said, in a tone full
of meaning; and she left the piano,
crossed the apartment and took up a
book.
The next day Mr.. Hamilton asked
workman at the mill to tell Primus
Edes that he wished to speak with
him. AS the man stood waiting, not
venturing to speak himself, Mr.. Ham.
ilton said:
Your name is Edes, l believe"
yes, sir"
Have you worked in our mill

About eight months"
Where did you work before you
came here?"
IN Alabama"
Were you born there?"
''Who were your parents?"

only child, and they are both dead"
Were you ever married."

low, never to be seen watching my
house as you did before my return"
| Il will remember" replied Edes, in
his dazed, hopeless fashion, though
his sallow cheek redeemed and his
eyes cleaned fiercely for moment.
Mr.. Hamilton turned to his desk and
took up his pen, and Edes returned to
his work.
But as soon as Mr.. Hamilton was
left with Mr.. Carter, who had been
present during the interview, a silent
but watchful listener, the latter said

REV. MooRE's HARD LUCK.
If Ever Strong Language Could Be
Unsuitable, Why

JuSllIidDley why
Rev. Samuel Moore, our beloved
pastor had an excruciating experience
one night recently which dfsfigured
his face to such an extent that he
scarcely looks natural.
1t must of been about a. IN. that
Mrs. Moore woke up her husband and
said, "S-h-h! l think there is burgu-
lars down stairs, Samuel" -
Rev. Moore was for going to sleep
again. He said there wasn't cent in
the house and the BURGLARS was well
come to all they could find. Mrs.
Moore, however, was nervous, so at
last the pastor arose and started down
stairs to investigate. He was in his
bare feet and durn near broke his toe
on the stair case, but he said nothing
and proceeded down stairs in the dark.
When he entered the kitchen with his
hands before him he straddled the
door which was standing half open,
and the edge of it struck him fair and
square on the nose, smashing same
against his face and almost breaking
it, as you might say. The parson then
lit a lamp. He thinks his nose must
have bled a quart and it panied him
terrible. The noise which Mrs. M.
heard was made by the cat, which had
showed the cover eff the milk jar in
the cellar and was helping herself.
Rev. Moore kicked the cat outen the
house, and after he had bandaged up
his nose and returned to bed.
In speaking of the matter later Rev.
Moore says he always endeavors to
lead a Christian life, but if he could Of
cut loose and swore when he run into
that door he thinks it would have been
a great comfort to him. No doubt it
would.-"Bingville Bugle" items I'm
