Theresa Won Lynar came softly to
the side of the bed and stood beside
Joan. The young Cardinal thought
that he had never seen more queenly
pair-Joan resplendent in her girlish
strength and beauty, Theresa still in
the ripe glory of womanhood. There
was a gentler light than before in the
elder woman's eye, and she cast an
almost deprecating glance upon Joan.
For al the first sound of her approach
the girl had stiffened visibly and now,
with a formal word as to the sick
mans condition and a cold bow to
Conrad she moved away.
Theresa watched her little sadly
as she passed behind the deep curtain.
Then she sighed. and turning again to
the bedside she looked long at the
young man without speaking.

CHAPTER XVI.
Borne on the Great Wave.
copyright, 1898. 1900. by S. r. CrockettD


II chanced that in the chamber
from which Werner Won Orseln had
come so swiftly at the cry OF the
Wordless Man. Boris and Jorian, after
sleeping through the disturbances
above them and the first burst OF the
storm, were walked by the blowing
open of the lattice as the wind reach
ed its height. 1t was tall Boris who
first made his way to the window.
The lattice hung by one leathern
thong The other had been torn away
and indeed it was a wonder that the
whole framework had not been blown
bodily into the room. For the tenn
pest pressed against 1t straight from
the north, and the sticky spray from
the waves which broke on the shlngle
drove stingingly into the eyes of the
man-at-arms as he looked out.
Nevertheless he thrust his head out,
looked a moment through half-ciosed
eyelids and then cried, "Jorian, we
are surely lost. The sea is breaking
in upon us. 1t has passed the beach
of shingle out there!"
And seizing Jorian by the arm Boris
made his way to the door by which
they had entered, and, undoing the
bolts, they reached the walled court
yard, where, however, they found
themselves in the open air. but shell
tered from the utmost violence or the
tempest. But the instant Boris head
was above the copestone, and the Ice
cold northerly blast met him like a
wall, he fairly gasped, for the furious
onslaught of the storm seemed TO
blow every particle of breath clean
out of his body.
In another moment Jorian was be-
side him, crouching on the top of the
wall to save himself from being car
ried away. And there. in the steamy
smother of the sea, backed by the
blue electric flame of the lightning,
they saw the slant masts of vessel
laboring to beat against the wind.
Poor souls. they are gone!' said
Boris, trying to shield his eyes with
his palm, as the black hull disappear
ed and the masts seemed to lurch
forward into the milky turmoil. we
shall never see her again"
For one moment all was dark as
pitch, and the next a dozen flashes OF
lightning burst every way, as many
appearing to rise upwards as could
be seen to fall downward. black
speck poised itself on the crest of
wave ut is boat! 1t can never
live!" cried the two men together,
and dropping from the top OF the wall
they ran down to the shore, going as
near as they. dared to the surf which
arched and fell with ponderous roar
on the narrow strip of shingle.
Back, Boris. back!" cried Jorian
suddenly, as after a succession OF
smaller waves gigantic and majestic
roller arched along the whole seaward
front, stood a moment black and i'm
minent above them, and then fell like
a whole mountain range in a snowy
avalanche of troubled water which
rushed savagely up the beach. The
two soldiers, who would have faced
unblanched any line of living enc
mics in the world fed terror-stricken
at the onrush of that sea of milk.

This burst OF true American girl indig-

in and sweetened.

Now let all these choice specimens
take notice:
We will deposit one thousand or
ffty thousand dollars to be covered by
a like amount from them or any one OF
them, and if there was ever one ounce
of old bread or any other ingredient
different than our selected wheat ana
barley with little salt and yeast used
in the making of Grape-Nuts, we Will
lose the money.
Our pure food factories are open at all
times to visitors. and thousands pass
through each month, inspecting every
department and every process. Our fac-
tories are so clean that one could, with
good relish, eat meal from the floors.
The work people, both men and wom-
en-, are of the highest grade in the state
of Michigan, and according to the state
labor reports, are the highest paid In
the state for similar work.
Let us tell you exactly what you will
see when you inspect the manufacture OF
Grape Nuts. You will find tremendous
elevators containing the choicest wheat
and barley possible to buy. These
grains are carried through long convey
ers to grinding mills, and there convert
ed into flour. Then the machines make
-four in the proper proportion and these
parts are blended into general flour
which passes over to the big dough mix
ing machines, there water, salt and lit
tie yeast are added and the dough knead-
ed the proper length of time.
Remember that previous to the barley
having been ground it was passed
through about one hundred hours of
soaking in water, then placed on warm
floors and slightly sprouted, developing
the diastase in the barley, which changes
the starch in the grain into form of
sugar.
Now after we have passed 1t into
dough and it has been kneaded long
enough, it is moulded by machinery into
loaves about IS inches long and or G
inches in diameter. 1t is put into this
shape for convenience in second cooking.
These great loaves are sliced by ma
| chinery and the slices placed on wire
trays, these trays, in turn, placed on great
steel trucks, and rolled into the second
ary ovens, each perhaps rs or so feet long
| There the food is subjected to a long low
| heat and the starch which has not been
| heretofore transformed is turned into a
| form of sugar generally known as Post
| Sugar 1t can be seen glistening on the
granules of GrapeNuts if held toward
| the light, and this sugar is not poured
over or put on the food as these prevari-
Gators ignorantly assert. on the con-
| trary the sugar exudes from the interior
| of each little granule during the process
| of manufacture, and reminds one of the
| little white particles of sugar that come
| out or the end of hickory log after

Because of the general impression
