SOAKED IN COFFEE
Until Too Stiff to Bend Over.

When 1 drank coffee l often had
sick headaches, nervousness and bill
iousness much of the time, but when
went to visit a friend got in the habit
of drinking Postum.
Il gave up coffee entirely and the re-
suit has been that have been entire
ly relieved of all my stomach and ner-
vous trouble.
My mother was just the same way.
We all drink Postum now, and with
out coffee in the house for years, we
are all well.
"A neighbor of mine, a great coffee
drinker, was troubled with pains in
ner side for years and was an invalid.
She was not able to do her work and
could not even mend clothes or do any
thing at all where she would have to
bend forward. If she tried to do a
little hard work she would get such
pains that she would have to lie down
for the rest of the day.
'.At last persuaded her to stop
drinking coffee and try Postum Food
Coffee and she did so and has used
Postum ever since; the result has been
that she can now do her work, can
sit for a whole day and mend and can
sew on the machine and she never
feels the least bit of pain in her side,
In fact, she has got well and it shows
coffee was the cause Of the whole trou-
BILE.
I could also tell you about several
other neighbors who have been cured
by quitting coffee and using Postum
In its place" There's Reason =
Look In pkg. for the famous little book
The Road to Wellyflle."

Individual Tastes.


Some parents want to choose the
future calling of their child them
selves, without regard to his or her
likes or dislikes. A man often wants
his boy to acquire his own particular
trade or profession, when it often hap
pens that the child positively dislikes
the work, and possesses talent for
something else. If he is only given
chance to cultivate it. This opposi-
ton, however, is sometimes more of
q help than hindrance, for the boy
Is filed with ambition, and is deter
mined to succeed, to show father that
he can make his way in the world,
Notwithstanding the parents objec-
tions, and he goes to work with
courage and resolution that nothing
can daunt He overcomes objections
after a time, and generally gains the
help and appreciation Of his father
after he has shown that he possesses
the grit, perseverance and independ-
ence essential to success. This di-
versity Of tastes Is often strikingly
illustrated in family Of girls. There
Is usually one girl that always helps
mother with the cooking, and at an
early age Is skilled in all the myster-
les of bread and cake-making, putting
up fruit In various ways, converting
It into jelly, jam, preserves and
pickles. She can wash, iron and
scrub and is spoken of among her ac-
Quaintances as model girl. Her SIS
ter never has good luck" with her
biscuit, and her cakes always fail to
meet expectations; but she Is equally
useful in her way, for she is the dress
maker for the family, and saves many
big bill by her taste and readiness
In using the needle. But there is
another who is at the same time the
pride and shame Of the household.
She will not sew, and, If forced to do
so, the work has to be ripped out and
sewed over by some one else. She
despises the kitchen work, and If
sent to wash the dishes is found
perched in an apple tree with book
in her hand, but she always stands at
the head of her class, and steps off
with the first prizes. She is snubbed
in the family circle on account of her
uselessness, but is always brought for
ward when company comes, to as
tonish them with her learning. Par
ents should make a study of each
child's disposition, says New York
Weekly, and endeavor to discover in
what direction their respective talents
point, If they have any, and give them
all the help in their power to improve
their natural abilities. Many prom
ising future has been wrecked for
lack Of little assistance and encour-
agement at the right moment.

CHAPTER XIX.
The STARTLING MESSAGE.

She had looked up, only to be blind
ed by the dancing flame. She held her
hands before her eyes. The flame per-
sistently annoyed her. She moved
from her seat.~ 1t pursued her.
Again she looked up; and even from
this height I could see that she was
frowning in her anger and annoyance.
She seated herself at another bench.
But she could not shake off her tor
mentor. 1t no longer beat on her face
and person; 1t moved steady toward
her, then travelled along the path of
the promenade; trespassed into the
garden of cottage; shot by the cot
tage itself; halted at huge wooden
signboard, on which was inscribed a
long advertisement in French pro-
claiming the exalted merits of Swiss
chocolate.
1t zigzagged tremulously across the
signboard. 1t paused at capital let
ter I.
Helena had watched it curiously un.
til it disappeared into the garden.
Then she had lost interest in its move
ments. and had once more scanned
anxiously the chateau opposite.
Patiently and persistently the little
beam of light repeated it's antics.
Again it moved, swiftly this time, to
the signboard. And now she turned in
her seat and watched it until it again
paused at the letter I.
Twice the mirror was flashed on the
billboard; twice it passed at the letter
I. 1t disappeared, to reappear at A..
From A it darted swiftly to M. An
other pause and again it vanished.
Once more 1t pointed to A; once more
it vanished.
When it climbed the signboard
again, it wandered vaguely about as
if seeking letter. After some hesi-
tation the mirrors reflection fell on
P. Thence it shot to r. Again it hes
itated, but it last settled on I. Once
more 1t selected s. Thence in quick
succession came O, N, e, r.
81 AM A PRISONER" It had
spelled.
But while Helena and I were still
staring at the board, the shaft of light
darted in feverish haste from letter to
letter until 1t had spelled another
word:
TORRES"
The kings messenger had been an
English officer, and one of the first
military duties a boy learns at Sand
hurst or Woolwich is heliographing.
When, therefore, Captain Forbes had
seen Helena across the river and had
realized the futility of his shouting.
being man OF wit and resource he
had told of the Imprisonment in this
happy method.
He had flashed his message success
fully Helena understood. She looked
upward toward the chateau, nodded
excitedly, and again eagerly watched
the signboard. She was not to be dis
appointed The message was not quite
complete. These two words were
added:
GET HELP"
Helena made gesture Of compre-
hension, and walked rapidly In the d.
rection of the village.
