Of young Mr.. Walloway question
suddenly occurring to the Cherub, he
abruptly walked back to where young
Mr.. Walloway still sat, intently gazing
at something he held shielded in his
two hands. 1t was nothing more thar
the gold oval which he wore as q
watch fob. Dozens Of times the Cherut
had seen it dangling from the breas,
pocket of Nick's coat without specially
remarking it. Now he noted that il
was really a locket. for it was open
CHANGING carelessly over Nick's Shout,
der, he saw it contained a picture, a
miniature on ivory. And the picture
on which young Mr.. Walloway was
gazing with such rapt pathos was a
likeness Of the Countess Vecchi. And
in an instant it was made clear to him
that the woman whom Nicholas Wal
loway had loved and lost and still con-
tinued to love was the Countess Vec-
chi.
Fortunately Mr.. Devine had not spo
ken. and the roar Of the car wheels
had drowned his approach. Swiftly
he withdrew. Then he sat down to
ponder on the situation. Quite abrupt
ly the Cberub now came upon the real
ization of his own purposes. He was
a little staggered by the discovery Of
his audacity. but this was no new
sensation. His audacious flights We're
always more or less of an impromptu
nature. In moment he was smiling
confidently. as was his custom when
once he had decided upon line Of
action. however unpromising might be
the future. The heavier the clouds
ahead the Fighter the smlE-. Nick was

Yes. Nick would measure up to all her
demands as to what gentleman
should be.
And had it been really she who had
broken off the match or was it dine TO
the ambitious plans Of her father:
Then after she had come back. hum

at arms length because of her pride:
Was this the reason of his seeming
inaction? Had he been all the time
waiting in the hope that some day she
would reIent. and might she not do So
now that in some measure her fortune

glow Of satisfaction as he hastily map

he was attaining long desired end.

Isn't it about time that
you were thinking of a
new harvesting machine?

When you consider how many
seasons your old binder has done it's
duty and how we'll it has served you
when you reflect that it has paid for
itself many times over in the rapidity
with which it got your crop off the
field and the accuracy with which it
gathered every head of grain, you can
actually buy new one out of the
profits made by your old machine.

A BURNING ERUPTION FROM

of sores from head to feet and for six
weeks confined to my bed. During
that time l suffered continual tor
ture from itching and\burning. After
being given up by my doctor l was ad-
vised to try Cuticura Remedies. After
the first bath with Cuticura Soap and
application of Cuticura Ointment en-
5oyed the first good sleep during my
entire illness. l also used Cuticura
Resolvent and the treatment was con-
tinued for about three weeks. At the
end of that time l was able to be
about the house, entirely cured. and
have felt no i'll effects since. would
advise any person suffering from any
form of skin trouble to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies as l know what they

The Kind Caddie,

Once in a game" said the golfer,
II had the good fortune to be six
holes up on my opponent by the time
the eighth hole was reached. At the
eighth green something went wrong
with our reckoning of the strokes and
I claimed that had won that hole,
too, while my opponent claimed that
1t was halved. After mild dispute I
yielded.
But as 1 moved on with my caddie
l couldn't help grumbling:
"'Well. you know. Joseph, gave
in; but l still think l won that hole

ger without the power to go to her?
He grew to dread the summer
But it was destined that he should
be the first to go away Early in
April a letter came from his mother
Seth Kinney was very ill and asked
continually for him
As he packed his travelling bag and
prepared to go, he was conscious Of
mixed motives. He was fond OF Seth.
He would have gone to him in any
case. But. with little sense OF
shame. he found himself thinking that
the trip would give him a chance to
test the communication. He would
be gone only few days Nothing
could happen But at least he should
know what he had to expect during
the long weeks of vacation So anx-
ious was he TO make the experiment
that he almost forgot the dread OF
separation.
BE as happy as you cantor my
sake" he said laushingly as they
parted Don't run any more risks
than you can help"
The morning train was full OF the
hum of life. People seemed to be
letting of superabundant vitality Be-
hind Derring a child was humming
contentedly to herself. Her mother
was talking in loud voice to man
across the aisle. You have TO look

of the car two business men were
talking.
As the day wore on. each person in

a dull glow and completed the effect
of an old Dutch interior
Helen and Derring exchanged
glances of appreciation.

miles of Washington street, | am go
Ing to sketch it some day. She has
promised to sit for me and it will be
nice and warm" She shivered a lit
tie.
Derring suddenly held fast in both
his hands the one he had been idly
stroking You must never do such a
foolhardy thing again"
Not even for success? But I am
glad did il 1t is a success" Her
eyes rested lovingly on the sketch on
the floor by the wall.
She was still looking at 1t when he
left the house to telephone for a car
riage. But when he returned, half an
hour later, she was seated at the
table laughing and talking with her
hostess. She declared she had never
felt better in her life, and she started
out bravely to walk to the carriage,
which could not drive down to the
beach. but was waiting on the road
above Before they had gone half the
distance she found that she was very
tired. With a sigh of relief she sank
back in the corner of the carriage as
the door was slammed after them.
Derring reached over promptly and
drew her to him. placing her head
against his shoulder and holding her
close to protect her from the jar Of
the carriage.
REST here" he said quietly, as she
made a half protest. Il should care
for my mother or sister. Why not
you-dear one?"
She did not protest again. but yield
ed to the protecting arms like child.
He watched her face as they whirled

At times he watched the changing

little stream the willows grew Yellow

caught in tangled underbrush, or rest
ed lightly on some tuft of moss or
dark, shining pool.
Derrng was impressed with the in
congruity of it all-his solitude in the
midst of the life that pressed so close
about him. the hum OF busy talk and
the shrek of the engine deep in the
woods where one never goes except
alone or with some congenal soul.
With one glance he caught the fresh
ness of the spring. and with the next,
the commonplace face and striped
trousers Of the passenger across the
aisle.
His thoughts went to Helen and
their love. to the happiness of the
past year and the days that were be-

faded from sight. He brooded on the
beauty and mystery of their relation
