"You are enjoying your visit In
Springfield, I trust? You have seen
the Lincoln monument and the home

must be! And the Legislature offers

gathered her skirts as II to withdraw.
But Mrs. Overman Hodge-Lathrop
achieved a smile.
1--WE have not enjoyed the pleasures
of sightseeing. On the contrary, we

she said.
Miss Greene surveyed her critically,
with that look in which n woman

then extended her critical scrutiny to
the dress of the others.

The ladies again exchanged

She gave her opponent another search

speech In favor of suffrage. aided by
glances from Miss Greene. The resolution
was made a special order. Vernon was
enthusiastic on the prospects for the res

company. Vernon neglected thoughts Of

throp and her ladies had gone up to
the suite they had taken and we're
engaged in repairing the toilets their
political labors of the morning had
somewhat damaged. Amelia had CON-

they and had Joined Vernon, waiting
for her below.
They sat in the dim little room
where Amelia could look across the
corridor to the elevator, expecting
every moment the coming of Mrs.
Overman Hodge-Lathrop Now that
they found themselves alone and face

NEW SENSATION FOR DOBBlN
Come to Think Of It, He Would Have
Felt Funny Sitting in tho
Position Indicated.

The family horse, who rcjoiced In
the cmincntly proper equine name of
DObbin, had earned a rest by long
service, and was accordingly sent
away to the country to spend his de-
clining years in the broad pastures of
n farmer friend of his wne The
distance being somewhat excessive
for his rheumatic legs, he was shipped
to his new home by rail.
Little Edna, the family ~fouryear.old.
viewed the passing of Dobbin with I'M
time gazing discOnsOlately out of the
window. At last, after a deep sigh,
she turned with a more cheerful ex
preston, and said:

deep meaning, 1T may originally have
been the right shade; the poor Rat
can't be expected to change its color"
Vernon had no answer for her.
II wonder what explanation she'll
have for her deicat?' said Amelia in q
tone that could not conceal its spirit
Of triumph.
I'm not worried about that" said
Vernon. I'm more concerned about
the explanation I'll have"
Dearest" exclaimed Amelia, swift
ly laying her hand on his. Her lone
had changed, and as she leaned toward
him witt. the new tenderness that her
new manner eXEaled, Vernon felt a
change within himself. and his heart
sTelled.
Dearest" she said. in a voice that
hesitated before the idea of some nee.
essary reparation, ARE you really so
badly Disappointed"
He looked at her, then suddenly he
drew her into his arms, and she let
her head rest for an instant on his
! shoulder; but only for an instant. Then
she exclaimed and was erect and all
propriety.

she said.

the lovers.
AS Vernon sat there he imagined
that all that talk was of him; more
than all, that all that laughter was at
him--though there was no more of
either than there was every day when
the legislators came over to the hotel
for their big noon dinners. At last
Amelia turned to him.
you've got the blues, haven't you?"
she said. 1t would seem that some
how he did her an injustice by having
the blues.
NO. he answered..
Then what's the matter?" she de.
handed.
Vernon glanced at her, and his
glance carried its own reproach.
"Oh!" she said. as II suddenly re-
calling a trivial incident. "Still wor.
rying about that"
Well" Vernon answered, 1T has
some seriousness for me-"
Amelia, sitting properly erect, her
hands folded in her lap. twisted about
and faced him.
"You don't mean, Morley, that you
are sorry it didn't pass, do you?"
1T puts me in rather an awkward
position" he said. II suppose you
know that"

ORIGIN
OF Famous Human Food.

The story of the great discoveries
or inventions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not carry
out the plans and enterprises he knew
how to conduct, was led to study va.
riOus foods and their effects upon the
human system. In other words, be-
fore he could carry out his plans he
had to find a food that would carry
him along and renew his physical and
mental strength.
He knew that q food which was q
brain and nerve builder (rather than
a mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centers is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. Then he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food. 1t contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape-Nuts
daily Is easily seen in a marked sturdi-
ness and marked activity of the brain
and nervous system, making It a
pleasure for N to carry on the daily
duties without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape-Nuts food Is in no sense a
stimulant but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
Of brain and nerves.
Its favour Is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory 1t is served instantly with
cream
The signature OF the brain worker
spoken of, c. w. Post, Is to be seen on
each genuine package Of Grape-Nuts.

II don't see how" Amelia replied.
We'll" Vernon explained, ito stand

away from him on the couch. "Of

Amelia said. Her eyes were fixed on
the elevator, and just at that moment
the car came rushing down the shaft
and swished itself to a stop just when,
1t seemed, II should have shattered
Itself to pieces at the bottom. The ele'
vator hoy changed the iron door back,
and Maria Greene stepped out.
There she is now said Amelia,
raising her head to see. Miss Greene
paused a moment to reply to the
greeting of some one of the politicians
who stopped to speak to her.
Amelia's nose was elevated.
"And so that's the wonderful hair
you all admire so much, is it," she
said.
WELL" replied Vernon, almost de
family, don't you think 1t is rather
exceptional hair?"
Amelia turned on him with a look
of superior and plying penetration.
Does that shade deceive you?" she
asked. She smiled disconccrtingly, as
she looked away again at Maria
Greene. That woman lawyer was JUS

They sat there, looking at each

Amelia asked.

"Oh, well, now, she's not bad look

she's rather what Id call handsome"
Handsome" Amelia exclaimed,
drawing back.

Vernon was trying to laugh. Cant

anything like that. But women! All,

and proceeded to Cape Moss. Then
came the dash for the pole when be
pierced the far north to Il point which
his instruments registered as 81 de-
grees minutes latitude and the forty
ninth meridian of west longitude. This
three years TO u day before the one on
which Cook said be touched the pole.
The journey was made with remarka-
bic directreSs. as his march from Cape
Moss to the eighty-fourth parallel was
made In virtually straight line. At
81 degrees &c minutes the expedition
ran into an open lane of water two
miles wide and was held up six days
before able to proceed. On this open
lane Peary put the blame for his fail
ure. AS soon as young Ice formed the
party pushed out into the thlnly Gov
cred lane. Most Of the lightly weight
ed sledges were over and preparing to
return and reload when wind sprang
up and opened the lane again. As the
bulk of the provisions were on the
south side, the expedition was forced
to proceed without them. 1t was heart
breaking, but a longer delay meant
certain failure.
So the party abandoned the better
share of its supplies and continued its
course. From that point until the iati-
tude of s. degrees ~ minutes was
reached the journey was comparative
ly easy. The ice proved smooth. and
