CHAPTER Xxx

The trees at Great Wilton grew
bright with the tender green of Spring,
and the hedges were budding into leaf.
Gertrude Baumgarten was slowly walking
through one of the country lanes toward
Avon House, enjoying the freshness Of
the morning The sun shone. the skies
were blue and unclouded, the air felt
warm almost as that of a summers day,
and the birds sung with a rapture that is
so celebrating on these days when all
nature is springing into new life and
beauty.
Leaning over the small wicket which
was placed only a few yards from the
large iron gates at Avon House, stood
Lord Avon, looking at her as she ad-

French Presidents "psubIe.r

M. Fallieres was, until recently, be-
lieved to be the only president of the
French republic who had no double,
but his counterpart has been found.
The man who most resembles him
physically is a respectable merchant
of the Rue Saint Honore, who plays
his part with decorum and dignity. He
wears exactly the same kind of blue
butterfly necktie with white dots as
the president, the same kind of hat
and exactly SO oddly cut a beard And
on his promenades he is always ac-
companied by friend who could cas-
lily be taken for the presidents pri-
vate secretary. Dignified and with
measured steps, the enviable double
walks through the Faubourg Saint
Iionore and feels overjoyed at being
salu.ed on all sides.

Always to Be Depended Upon.

When person gets up in the morn
ing with dull headache and a tired,
stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain
indication that the liver, or bowels,
or both, are decidedly out of order.
At such times Nature, the wisest
and best of doctors, takes this means
to give warning that she needs the
help and gentle assistance which can
best be obtained from that old fam
lily remedy, Brandreths Pills, which
has been in use for over a century.
They are the same fine laxative
tonic pill your grandparents used
when doctors were few and far be-
tween, and when people had to have
a remedy that could absolutely be de-
pended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended
upon, and are sold in every drug and
medicine store, plain or sugar-coated.

AS oil is the expensive ingredient
in making salads, it is well to buy it
in bulk instead of bottles; at any

great saving. This is good rule

There is no longer any special nov

than melted cheese poured over hot

combination did not hesitate to affirm
that the presence of the cheese aided

the fish is baked in pan with little

When I was about nine years old

of those limbs became so sore that
could scarcely walk. When l had
been suffering for about a month
the sores began to heal, but small
scaly eruptions appeared where the
sores had been. From that time on
ward 1 was troubled by such severe
itching that, until 1 became accus-
toned to it, 1 would scratch the sores
until the blood began to flow. This
would stop the itching for a few
days, but scaly places would appear
again and the itching would accom-
pany them. After l suffered about
ten years l made a renewed effort to
effect cure. The eruptions by this
time had appeared on every part of
my body except my face and hands
The best doctors in my native coun-
ty advised me to use arsenic in small
