when Flora returned to town, she would
find Clara waiting for them in the
house. But Flora knew it was only
Clara's wonderful way. This uprising

Now all her waiting was for Kerr's
returning. She did not know how she
should face HIM, but she wanted him.
A telegram came an hour before him,
came to Mrs. Herrick announcing him;
and then himself, driven up on the
high seat of the cart, just as daylight
was closing. She and Mrs. Herrick had
walked half way out toward the rose
garden; and, seeing them there, he
stopped the cart in the drive, leaped
down and ran across the grass. Bot
hurried to meet him. The three encoun-
tered like friends, like intimates, with
hand-clasps and hurried glances search
ing each others faces.
Did you save it?" Flora asked.
He looked at Mrs. Herrick, hesitating.

She was faint. She was going to fall.
She caught at the chair to ave herself,
and still she was dropping down, down,
into a gulf Of spinning darkness. "Oh,
Harry" she whispered, and let her
head roll back against the arm of the
fauteuil.
With a dim sense of rising through
immeasurable distances back to light
she opened her eyes. She saw Mrs.
Herrick's face, and as this was con-
nected in her mind with protection she
smiled.
DO you feel better?" Mrs. Herrick
asked her. Then she opened her eyes
wide and saw the walls and the high
arched ceiling of the hall directly
above her, knew herself lying OF the
floor, saw above her the figure of Clara
standing with a bottle of salts, and
then remembered; and, with a moan,
buried her face in Mrs. Herrick's lap.
"Oh, no, no, no.; don't bring me back;
l don't want to come back"
Their voices sounding high above her
were speaking. Mrs. Herrick said:
What is that ?" Then Clara murmured.
Then there was the light rustling of
foPNi' hlONNo liz Iioiibs
Give it to me; / want it." She felt
the stiff little squar of cardboard be-
tween her fingers, and closed them
around it fast.
After a little she went upstairs hold
ing tight to the baluster with one hand
and to Mrs. Herrick with the other.
After a little of sitting on the edge of
her bed she lay down, still holding to
Mrs. Herrick. She felt as though some
cord within her had been drawn tight,
too tight to endure, and every moment
she hoped it would snap and set her
free.

claimed it. Then things are Flora

All that afternoon and all night she
slept 1tfully, starting up at intervals,
trembling at nameless ~horrors-the
glittering g~oldsmith's shop. the China
man. the great eye of the sapphire,
and, worst of all, Harry's face, always
the same calm, rudy, g~ood-natured,
innocent-looking face that had led her
to the goldsmith's shop, that had
smiled at her, falling under the spell
of the sapphire that had covered. all
those days, God knew what ravages OF
stress and strain, until the man had
finally broken. That face appeared and
r~eappeared through the flashing terrors
of her dreams like the presiding genius
of them all. Finally, drifting into
complete repose. she slept far into the
morning.

when fight seemed the solution. It
took all her courage to keep her there,

"And make all those explanations ne

1t was here. somewhere in the neigh
borhood of this sentence of doubtful
meaning, hat Mrs. Herrick left them.
In looking back, Flora could never re-
call the exact moment of the departure.
But when she raised her eyes from the
grass where they had been fixed for

only Kerr-no, MISUNDERSTANDING
there, looking at her with a grave face.
"Eh?" he said. and what about that
honor of yours? What shall we say

and no longer in our way?"
She was breathing quick, to keep
from crying. Il told you that day at

Fakes and Frauds

In the Cosmopolitan Magazine for Feb
ruary, 1909, there is a long article on the
Hair and Scalp by Woods Hutchinson,
M. D., a writer of wide renown, and in it he
says: The strongest and most powerful
curative element of SYMPHONIES and hair
restorers is their smell, and the next pow
erful is their color. Most of them are
frauds, pure and simple, and produce no
effect whatever except upon the magma
ton and the nostrils of the users. The
most common constituent of them all is
alcohol, and the next common probably
ammonia or some aromatic oil or extract
which has the double advantage of pow
erful odor and of producing mild sense
of warmth and local irritation. All of this
class are mild irritants to the skin and
produce light temporary reddening by an
increase in the amount of blood circulating
through the scalp; bit this has about as
much effect on the hairAulbs as the beams
