Home Window Boxes.

The minimum cost for an empty
window box is probably Is cents, un.
less you are skillful enough to be your
own carpenter, and have the tools and
materials to put one together yourself,
in which case your expenses begin
with the soil and the flowers. A con-
sentative estimate for well-filled box
would be from 81 to So, while one ar
ranged at the will of florist would
surely come to SIS. So it pays to
choose the flowers yourself.-Harper's
Bazaar.

lNvALlo's SAD PLIGHT.
After lnf'ammatory Rheumatism, Hair
Came Out, Skin Peeled, and Bed
Sores 0eveloped-onIy cutl-
cura Proved Successful.

"About four years ago I had very
severe attack Of inflammatory rheuma-
tfsm. My skin peeled, and the high
fever played havoc with my hair,
which came out i9 punches. also
had three large bed sores on my back.
I did not gain very rapidly, and my
appetite was very poor. I tried many
sure cures but they were Of little
help, and until I tried Cuticura Re.
solvent had had no real relief. Then
my complexion cleared and soon I felt
better. The bed sores went very soon
after few applications of Cuticura
Ointment, and when used Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for my hair
it began to regain its former glossy ap-
pearance. Mrs. Lavina J. Henderson.

Il do love you, Christabel," he pro-
tested "And l am paying you no
empty compliment. There's hardly a
woman living who would not be glad
to be my wife Think of all that can

sition. everything that woman de-
sires. know am putting the mat

it Our relations to each other are
not the usual relations. But you'd
better think we'll before you refuse.
And, believe me. do love you and ad-
uire YOU. Will you be my wife,"
mo: it is impossible" said Christa-
be-. very quietly.
"At least, you will thial, over what
1 have said?" he asked. when you
have reflected on all, that it is in my
power to give to the lady who be-
comes my wife you can change your
mind-it Is a woman's privilege"
Il shall never change my mind
about you,' said Christabel.
He laughed little harshly, and
with slight bow he opened the door
for her. AS she passed out he OBJ
served that her heightened color had
made her prettier than ever, and that
there was in the poise of her graceful
figure and in the dignity of her car
rage a half-subdued air of defiance
and strength which he had never no
ticed before.
"She really is woman to be de-
sired" he said to himself. Then with
swift change Of mood he thought it
was a good thing that she did not
know old Cross, and was never likely
to know him
AS for Christabel. she went to her
room and wrote out telegram to
Norman Forde telling him that she
was much better; and then she fell to
wondering what he would think if he
only knew what was happening to her.

CHAPTER XIV.
Spyino Out the Land.

Norman Forde sent the telegram
inquiring how Christabel was as he
was on his way to his Office in Shafts
bury avenue. While he hardly thought
that the illness which had overtaken
her on the previous evening was like
~ to be of serious nature, yet it had
been so sudden and alarming, espe>
cially in the circumstances. that he
could not but be very anxious about
her. He had never written to her or
sent her a telegram before, but he
considered that in this case he was
justified.
He had not the least idea in the
world that her fndisposition had been
caused BY something that was not
physical, nor did he dream that the
trouble had arisen. not from some
weakness of the body, but from the
tumult and anguish of the spirit. But
he was conscious in the depths of his
mind that the incident had had the
disquieting effect of making the wo-
man he loved seem remote and mac
cessible. Only moment before her
illness they had been in such accord
and in such full sympathy with each
other, and then all at once she appear
ed to be far off, and it was almost as
If he did not exist at all for her. And
yet he had thought of putting his fate
to the test that night-of asking her
to marry him. With these ideas press
ing upon him he was more than usual
~ apt to be prey to lovers fond
solicitudes.
He was in this chastened frame of
mind when he arrived at the office,
where he was greeted with a broad
smile by his partner. who had pre-.
ceded him by several minutes. Philip
had before him small heap of letters,
which had been opened and read. and
it was evident from his beaming face
that their contents had given him the
Nveliest satisfaction.
Good morning, old chap" he said,
familiarly and affectionately. There's
splendid news! Success is smiling
upon u.s.
That's good" said Norman, smil-
ing. too. He noticed that Philip ap-
peared to have no recollection of
Christabel's illness.

MONARCH NOT MUSICAL.

Some time ago it was reported
that King Peter of Servia was COM
posing his own anthem. The state
ment first appeared in Berlin news
paper, and ultimately found Its way
into the international cables. As a
matter of fact, the announcement
was received at Belgrade with some
incredulity and amusement. His
majesty is by no means musical. A
prize for a new national anthem was
offered, but it seems unlikely that
the king himself should begin study
ing harmony in order to supply the
want. The only musical member of
that royal family is the crown prince,
whose possession of a gramophone is
the delight of his neighbors, and it is
said that groups of children often
may be seen dancing to the tunes on
the pavement under his open win
dows.
