"Only one," I said, that Miss Law

cred that he "a still alive only at the
last moment"
But he clergyman shook his head.
You don't know Miss Lawrence"
he asked.
you would see the absurdity Of such
a theory If you did"
II fancied it might have happened
when she was very young" l ex-
planned; when she was abroad, per-
haps. I've even pictured the man to
myself as an adventurer, French or
italian. a man of the world, polished,
without heart, perhaps even base at
bottom--a man who would not hesitate
to take advantage Of her gtrlish limo
cence."
My companion smiled family.
Il see you have q lively imagination,
Mr.. Lester" he said. Don't let it run
away with YOU"
"She would not be the first to sue
cumb to such a one" I retorted.
mo, nor the last, I fear. Have you
worked out the rest Of the story2'
Granting the premises, the rest is
easy enough. She soon found him out
and took refuge with her mother. The
scoundrel vas bought off, and dtsap-
peared. She supposed him dead; but
at the last moment, he appeared
again"
DR.. Schuyler had listened with half
closed eyes Now he opened them and
looked at me amusedly.
1T sounds like some Of the yellow
backs I used to read In my u~nregenerate
youth" he commented. " fancy you
must have read them. too, Mr.. Lester.
Now ! want you to dismiss that tho

tell you. once for all, It Is ridiculous
and untrue. Rest assured that what
aver the secret Is, 1t does not In any
way reflect upon her."
Then at that leaves US al sea-" I
pointed out There "a be no question
Of her love for Curtiss."
"N0ns whatever. AS 1 SAID. I've seen
them together, and I'm sure she loved
him d~evotedly. OF his feeling for her
you have. OF course, been able to judge
for yourself. I've looked forward to
he wedding with much pleasure, for 1t
seemed to me the least worldly one
that 7 had ever been asked to conse-
crate. It Is a singular coincidence,
though He stopped suddenly and
glanced about the room. "Of course,
this conversation Is between ourselves,
Mr.. Lester2"
"Certainey," I assented. st would
wish to have It So"
with that understanding, I shall
be glad to help you, If l can. I was
about to say that 1t is q very singular
coincidence that something of the same
sort happened many years g to Mrs.
Lawrence"

A cHILp's BIRTHDAY CAKE.

FROM Harper 3 BaZaf.
To one and a half cups of -four take
one u Of sugar, three rounded tea
spoonfuls OF baking-powder, and a
pinch OF salt. Sift all these ingred-
tents together five or six times, and
add the stiffly beaten whites OF two
& with selected fiavoring. Bake in
an angel-cake tin. 1t is not necessary
to grease the tube. If the cake is in
verted as soon as taken from the oven,
as 1t cools, 1t will loosen.
Frost with stiff whipped cream or
with a water icing, made by sitting one
cup OF powdered sugar, and adding
water and fiavoring slowly until 1t will
spread. Use a p~astry-tube TO purl the
edges. Stick peppermints all over the
frosting while it is soft. Place the
large life candle in the center, where
the tube was removed, and surround 1t
with as many lighted tapers as the
number Of years completed. Encircle
the cake with some simple floral dec
grafton, such as ferns combined with
pansies, forget-me-nots, or carnations.

Thu Bride.

The orange blossom crowns her,
The bridal satin gowns her,
The happy anthems ring;
Girlnood's gay reign is over,
She goes to meet her lover,
While Eden's voices sing.
The marriage vow Is spoken,
The wedding bread Is broker
With blessings and with tears;
These two set out together,
Through storm and sunny weather.
To journey through the years.
Fate, send your choicest dover,
Great JOY and plenty shower
From blu and kindly skies:
Earth's music and its laughter,
And gladness V e after,
And love thai never dies!
So, life goes on forever,
Hands join, no more to sever,
The roses row the June!
And down the aisle a~-swinging,
We hear the angels singing
A Joyous hymnal tune.

PlMPLES COVERED HIS BACK

my troubles began along in the
summer In the hottest weather and
took the form Of small eruptions and
itching and q kind of smarting pain.
1t took me mostly all over my back
and kept getting worse until finally
my back was covered with a mass OF
pimples which would burn and itch at
night so that I could hardly stand 1t.
This condition kept getting worse and
worse until my back was a solid mas
Of big sores which would break open
and run. My underclothing would be
q clot of blood.
II tried various remedies and salves
for nearly three years and I was not
getting any benefit. It seemed I was
In eternal misery and could not sleep
on my back or lean on a chair. I was
finally given a set of the Cuticura
Remedies and inside of two weeks
could see and feel a great relief. ]
kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and also the Resolvent, and In about
three or four months time my back
was nearly cured and I felt like a new
being. Now I am in good health and
no sign Of any skin diseases and /
am fully satisfied that Cuticura Rene
dies are the best aver made for skin
diseases. I would not be without
them" (Signed) w. A. Armstrong,

Held the Records,

Two ladies seated at afternoon tea
fell to discussing the prowess OF their
respective bubbles.
After each had related several feats
Of endurance and h~ardihood, one Of
them remarked that her husband had
on one occasion dived under the wa.
ter and remained down for fully two
minutes, without coming up to take
breath.
"Oh," said the other, that Is
nothing. My first husband dived be.

not yet come up to breathe"

TO OPEN A BOTTLE.

When you open the milk bottle be
sure that you first wash off the top and
mouth. Even when the milkrnan Is
late, do not say, We'll. for this once
1t won't hurt" for just at that one
time the milkman might have driven
through a street where dust might have
been raised by the night white wings
and a portion settled on the tops of the
milk bottles.
Pour a little water on the lid of a
closed bottle tomorrow morning and
reflect 1t under the gaslight and you
will find that the tiny lake will not
need a microscope TO tell It's tale Of
dust lying there.

STRONGER THAN MEAT
A Judges Opinion of Grape-Nuts.

A gentleman who has acquired a ju

on the bench out in the Sunfiower
State writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value Of Grape-Nuts
as food. He says:
"For the past 5 years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
"The crisp food with the delicious
nutty flavor has become an indis'
pensable necessity in my familyi

IT GROWS HAIR
Here Are Facts We Want You to
Prove at Our Risk.

Marvellous as it may seem, Rexall
"93" Hair tonic has grown hair on
heads that were once bald. Ofcourse
in none of those cases were the hair
roots dead, no" had the scalp taken
on a glazed, shiny appearance.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic acts scien-
tifically, destroying the germs which
are usually responsible for badness.
1t penetrates to the roots of the hair,
stimulating and mourishing them.
1t is a most pleasant toilet necessity,
is delicately perfumed, and will not
gum or permanently stain the scalp.
We want you to get bottle of
ReXall 1913" Hair Tonic and use it
as directed. If it does not relieve
scalp irritation, remove dandruff,
prevent the hair from falling out
and promote an increased growth of
hair, and in every way give entire
satisfaction, simply come back and
tell us, and without question or form
ality we will hand back to you ev-
cry penny you paid us for it. Two
