Loder echoed the laugh, but said nothing. In his uncertainty at the question he reverted to his old re- source of silence.
 Bramfell raised his eyebrows. "Whatw he said.s Don't tell me that my slster-in-law hasn't engaged y0u as victim" Then he turned in Eyes direction. You've heard of our new departure, Mrs. Chilcotew
 Eve looked round from the lively group by which she was surrounded. "Lillian's crystal gazing? Why. of course!' she said. "She should make very beautiful seer. We are all quite curious"
 Bramfell pursed up his lips. "She has . very beautiful tent at the end of the conservatory. It took five men as many days to rig it up. We could not hear ourselves talk for hammer ing. My wife said 1t made her feel quite philanthropic, 1t reminded her so much of charity bazaar"
 Everybody laughed, and at the same moment Blessington came quickly across the room and joined the group.
 "Hellow he said. Anybody seen Witchestona He's next on my list for the crystal buslness."
 Again the whole party laughed, and

Pain is nature's signal of distress. warning that must not be ignored. Those sharp twinges in the back. those stabilize pains that follow any sudden twist or turn, are simply signs of hidden danger fin the kidneys.
 No trouble starts more easily, gains ground more rapidly, nor proves more often fatal than any disorder of the kidneys. All the outward ap- pearances of health may remain until a terrible disease had taken root.
 It is best to learn the duties of the kidneys, to watch for early signs of trouble. and to correct any irregular ity before Its serious stage begins.
 The blood goes to the kidneys in an incessant stream. to be cleared of poll son and relieved of surplus water. This is passed of by the kidneys in the urine. It is the retention of poll son in kidney trouble that breeds fatal disease.
 Don't wait. The moment you feel any uneasiness, lameness or pain in the back. the moment the urine shows irregularity. either in its ap- pearance, or in the quantity or num- her of the passages, begin with Doan's Kidney Pills. This remedy has been curing kidney troubles for seventy six years, and never yet has failed

 Blessington made comical grlmace. "Rut I'm working this on commercial principles" he said. T keep the list, names and hours complete. and Lady Astrupp gases in blissful Ignorance as to who her victims are. The whole thing is great. simple and statistical"
 For goodness sake. Bobby, shut upw Bramfelrs round eyes were twinkling with amusement.

 And they all had flaws. Bobby" Eve broke In. We were always hnd- ing gaps that had to be. filled up. Never mind about Lord Witcheston. Get . substitute. It won't count If Lillian doesn't know"
 Blessington wavsred as she spoke. Ills eyes wandered round the party and again rested on Bramfell.

Eve thanked him with smile. "Then we mustn't interfere with . person on active service" she said, Besides. we have our own duties to get through" She smiled again and. touching Loders arm, indicated the re- ception rooms.
 When they entered the larger of the two rooms Lady Rramfell was still receiving her guests. She was tall and angular woman who, except for q certain beauty of hands and feet and a certain similarity of voice, possessed nothing in common with her sister Lil- Han. She was speaking to group of people as they approached, and the first sound of her sweet and rather drawling tones touched Loder with a curious momentary feeling-a vague suggestion of awakened memories. Then the suggestion vanished as she turned and greeted Eve.
 How sweet of you to come!" she murmured. And 1t seemed to Loder that more spontaneous smile lighted up her face. Then she extended her hand to him. And you, too" she add ed. Though fear we shall bore you dreadfully."
 Watching her with interest. he saw the change of expression as her eyes turned from Eve to him and noticed q colder tone in her voice as she address ed him directly. The observation nov ed him to self assertion.
 That's a poor compliment to me-" he said. ITO be bored is surely only a polite way of being inane."
 Lady Bramfell smiled. "Whatv she exclaimed. You defending your so- cial reputationY
 Loder laughed a little. 'sThe smaller it is the more defending it needs," he replied.
 Another stream of arrivals swept by them as he spoke. Eve smiled at their hostess and moved across the room, and he perforce followed. As he gain ed her side the little court about Lady Bramfell was left well in the rear, the great throng at the farther end of the room was not yet reached, and for the moment they were practically alone.
 There was certain uneasiness in that moment of companionship. It seemed to him that Eve wished to speak, but hesitated. Once or twice she opened and closed the fan that she was carrying, then at last as if by an effort, she turned and looked at him.
 "Why were you so cold to Bobby Blessington?" she asked. Doesn't 1t seem discourteous to ignore him as you didi"
 Her manner was subdued. It was not the annoyed manner that one uses to a man when he has behaved i'll; 1t

was the explanatory tone one might adopt toward an incorrigible child. Loder felt this. but the gist of a re- mark always came to him first Its mode of expression later. The fact that 1t was Blesslngton whom he had encountered-Blessington to whom he had spoken with vague politeness- came to him with sense of unpleas- antness. He was not to blame in the matter. nevertheless he blamed him. self. He was annoyed that he should have made the slip in Eyes presence.
 They were moving forward, nearing the press of people in the second room, when Eve spoke. and the fact filled him with an added sense of annoy ance. People smiled and bowed to her from every side; one woman lean- ed forward as they passed and whis- pered something in her ear. Again the sensation of futility and vexation filled him: again he realized how pal pable was the place she held in the world. Then. as his feelings reached their height and speech seemed forced upon him, a small man with 6 round face. catching a glimpse of Eve. dart ed from a circle of people gathered in one of the windows and came quickly toward them. With an unjust touch of irritation he recognized Lord Bram- fell

Doc toring did not help 1t much and hay ing heard of Doan's Kidney Pills I sent to the H. ". Lake Drug con- pany for a box. Relief came very quickly and at length the trouble dis appeared entirely.
