had flown too high to feel the storm
Flora was passing through. But
when he turned toward her, in spite
of himself there was eagerness in his
manner. He looked questioningly at
her, as If no time had interviewed, as
II moment before he had said to her
through the carriage window, 81 will
give you "a hours" and now her time
had come to speak.
1t was the appearance of the
aproned maid that broke their unity.
The last course was on the table, the
last taste of its pungent fruit essence
on their tongues-and what was the
girls errand now? The eye of her
mistress was inquiring.
Some one has come, Mrs. Herrick."
The woman's proper formula seemed
to fail her. She looked as If she had
been frightened.
Some one?" Mrs. Herrick showed
asperity. What name?"

the girl shrank little to one side.

from the armpits, with ruffled hair,
and lips apart, and from breathless-

in the doorway. Kerr leaned forward
Mrs. Herrick did not move. She was
facing the last arrival and she was
smiling more flexibly, more naturally,
than Harry; but it was Flora who
found the first word.

She was struggling for nonchalance,
for poise, at this worst blow, so I'M

advancing. "How dye do, Mrs. Her

nervous terror "A possible purpose in

into the mirror. Almost for the first

thing must be done for it, for it was
dreadful. The best she could do re-

thin and trailing far behind her, and
her hair wound high, by very force
of their contrasted color, gave her a
real brilliance as they gave her a
seeming height. But she descended
to the breakfast-room with trepida-

with an involuntary relax of nerves,

gold. Like fash the whole disap-

half entreating; and then, to Flora's
establishment, turned away without
word to either Of them.
Clara stood still, even after the
door had closed upon Harry, and odd

ment when she had crouched against
the window with her hand protecting
the jewel, and I-arry's hand grasping
her wrist. He would know well enough
where to find it now. Oh, the restless
uncomfortable thing! Where could
she hide It?
She took the pear-shaped pouch
that swung always before her on her
long gold chain. She had repudiated
that hiding-place before, but now the
more obvious the better-now that
both men supposed she carried the
Jewel far hidden out OF sight. With

was crouched, cramped and cold, she

The mayor arranged band concerts during the summer, busi- ness men defraying the expense, and he says there were so successful and popular that he probably will take up some form of winter entertainment.
 The mayors plan is to give at least two public entertainments a month, on nights when the hall is not rented for other purposes. He believes he may be able to obtain two or three bands without expenses. and that when money is needed for lectures or moving pie ture shows. business men will come forward with contributions
 There are d lot of poor families" said the mayor, ''who cannot afford to buy theater tickets or even to patron zie moving picture shows, and they like entertainment as well as anyone else.

INDIGESTION
Relief in Five Minutes and Permanent Cure or
 Money Back

When the LOvett Drug Co states that they have a remedy that only costs 50 cents and is guaranteed to cure any man or woman who suffers from food fermentation or money back. what are the poor stomach sufferer in Phoenix and vicinity going to do about it?
 Food fermentation causes belching sour stomach, gas eructation, heart burn and that lump of lead feeling as you probably know.
 The name of this most remarkable stomach prescription is MI-O-NA. Most people call them MI-O-NA stOm- ach tablets because they know that there is no remedy so good for indi- gestion or stomach disorders. Here is one opinion:
 T have been troubled with indiges- ton for more than a year. l bought one box of MI-O-NA and it cured me. Now l would not be without a box in the house for $500. It saves a lot of doctor bills when you can be cured for 90 cents.'-Arthur Sederquest, Nichols St, Wakefield Mass.
 MI-O-NA stomach tablets cost 5O cents box at the Lovett Drug Co. and druggists everywhere and money back if they don't cure.
