One day. some weeks later. Judith
was on the solitary little pier when
Max Burgess came for his boat That
morning she had happened to hear
him speaking to a servant He was
giving some orders about the packing
of his effects. And now. as she stood
on the hot sands. a reckless impulse
came to her
why are you leaving?" said she.
MY work here doesn't get on very
well. I'm falling back. somehow"
His eyes were on the horizon.
Would you still care about painting
me?'
would / care?" His eyes were no
longer on the horizon. 1t must have
been that which made the blood dy TO
her cheeks.
Well" said she, IF you ask Ele TO

might talk it over"
So they rowed out and presently
they we're far, far from shore. He
must have been looking ut her hands
instead of the land. or be would have
seen that they were getting into a
very heavy sea: that each moment the
skies were growing darker. Spray
wet Judith's dark hair and cleaned
there just for an appreciate fraction
of second like milky agates in the
bed of black stream.
Isn't it glorious?" cried she. with
sudden joy.
His eyes questioned her keenly. She
challenged, and then he understood.
With an effort he brought the boat
around and pulled for safety. His
thin jersey showed the lines of his
strong, supple body. The muscles of his
arms and chest rose superbly. Judith
watched him, fascinated. Then the
rotten oar cracked

bind it and make it strong enough

He put an oilskin about her. Her
hair brushed his face. He kissed it
furtively, but she detected him. VIII
fully she drew damp curl forth from
under the edge of the oilskin where he
had tucked it--and then she laughed
at the look In his eyes.
"Attend to the boatr cried she. And
the oilskin was new-rich yellow; the
hood was scarlet lined, her hair was
like midnight. and her face was a
flower. Yet he, the artist, the lover
of color, must needs attend to the
boat.
When they were safe at last, when
he was helping her ashore, he looked
at her with protecting tenderness she
had never imagined him capable Of
'Ah." cried she, IF only you cared
for my art"' She looked on at him.
His hand masterfully sought hers.
then:
"But there's something better, sweet
heart-there's something better than
even music or painting. Have we
found it, do you think?'
Il think" she admitted, relectiveIy
and demurely, while smile was run
ming riot over her piquant face-.I
think we've found the thing that is

After

Il had suffered several weeks
with LaGrippe. Had pains in
my head and eyes. 1t felt as
though there was a heavy weight
on the top of my head, until it
seemed that my brain would
burst. | was SO nervous that
! could not rest or sleep. When
I dozed off I would awake with
sudden jerking of my whole

The after effects of LaGrippe
are often more serious than the
disease, as it leaves the system
in a weakened condition that
invites more serious troubles,
such as pneumonia, etc.
