first put on the market was suffer

ply ysician had repeatedly told me not
to use tea or coffee. Finally l de-

Postum, and got sample and had it
carefully prepared, finding it deli.

its use and very soon its beneficial ef-
fects convinced me Of its value, for

We soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate or depress and does not

or lamb skin lining, The supply or
skins from the chamois animal is very
limited-enough could not be obtained

special inquiry on recent Wis 10

the chamois skin and ascertained that
from 5000 to 5000 skins would be

heavier than the skin OF the sheep or

and durability the chamois skin is pre-

Theresa and her conductor stood

the Muscovite army. She found her
self in the immediate presence OF
Prince Ivan, who rose with his usual
1.-the grace to greet her. An older
man, with gray. pinched face, sat
listlessly with his elbow on the small
camp table. He leaned his forehead
on his palm and looked down. Be-
hind. in the half dark Of the tent,
low, wide divan with cushions was
revealed. and all the upper end OF the
tent was filled up with a huge and
shadowy pile Of kegs and boxes. only

ly never did ally come welcomer than
you to our camp tonight. Let us
hear your news. and then will we find
you such lodging and welcome as may
be In among rough soldiers and in

He went to the front OF the pa
vilion and pushed aside the dripping
nap.
"Alexis," he cried, "call up my peo-
pie. Bid them bring brazier, and tell
these lazy fellows to serve supper in
half an hour on peril of their heads -
He returned and stood before The
resa, who had sunk back as If fatisued
on an ottoman covered with thick furs.
Her feet nestled in the bearskins
which covered the floor. The Prince
looked anxiously down.

them delicately and respectfully on
the couch.
There. that is better" he said,
standing over her tenderly.
Theresa did not answer. She only
smiled at the Prince, leaning little
, farther back and resting her head
upon the palm Of her hand. The
warmth of the tent and the soft lux
ury of the rich rugs had brought
flush of red to cheek which yet
tingled with the volleying of the Bal
