CHAPTER XIII.

AS for the rest of US, including So
licitor Barnes, who had been rescued
from the library by some maid or
footman, we repaired Immediately to
the dining room, where the wedding
luncheon, of Dearest's creation, await
ed us, and had all taken our places be-
fore the big clock on the mantel quite
ceased booming the hour. OF course
the bridal nature of the table decora-
tons made hit-as my Americanized
wife persists in saying-with those two
ardent lovers, Brancepeth and Agatha
First, and they admired and exclaimed
quite as If the whole thing were gotten
up for their especial benefit. And it
was during this meal that we gathered
fuller details of the trials and tribula-
lions that had beset the path of this
now happy pair, which explained and

AM judged rightly. as events proved,
that the recital of this incident from
my lips would convince my wife as
nothing else could, that l was right in
believing that Terhune had come at
length to see that love, more than any
thing else in the world-even fortune
Wa5 the only thing worth considering
when 1t came to question of getting
married.
Don't you see," ended, "he refused
to do as | suggested, refused to 60 and

thoroughly that she would accept him,

she pulled the watch from my hands.
Archibald Terhune! Do you hear
that?" she almost shouted to Arch in
uncomfortable excitement. Its six
minutes of one! Find Agatha Sixth and
ask her to marry you, for heavens
sake!" Then, as Terhune only stood
and stared at her with dropped jaw,
she stamped her foot vehemently.
Don't stand and stare like that"
she cried. DO as l say! Hurry! Run
!, for your life!"
And Arch was gone at the word,
though don't think he had until then
any idea that there was still time to re-
trieve the day and fortune.
To do him Justice, | don't think he
had any other thought subsequent to
Brancepeth's story and the revelations
that followed in regard to Agatha
Sixth's reason for refusing him, than
that she was more likely to change her

countable happenings Of our own ex-
perience.
Among other things 1t appeared that
Brancepeth was, of course, the owner
of the checked coat l had seen in the
automobile in the woods, and that the
coat we had found in Terhune's closet
later had only borne a resemblance to
it. The young man had run down from
his uncle's place in his machine that
day, he told us, to meet Agatha First
in the woods, by prearrangement with
her, which, of course, explained the
business of her assumed headache and
refusal to go to Northbury with us.
They had been obliged to keep their
attachment a secret evidently enough,
on account Of Brancepeth's uncle's de-
termination to marry him to Miss SIM
plin. But when we protested against
their having left us out Of their conf
dence, Brancepeth explained they had
thought 1t best because they feared
that Cecil Chiltern, who, 1t seemed,
was q great friend and political ally of
his despotic uncle, would find out from
us, probably through my wifes friend
ship for his wife, about Brancepeth's
engagement to Agatha First, In which
event Brancepeth felt convinced Chill
tern would feel 1t his duty to inform
said despotic uncle. Thereby" as the
young man himself put 1t, raising the
! deuce of a row for nothing. don't you

CURED HER BABY OF ECZEMA

Il can't tell in words how happy the
word 'Cuticura' sounds to me, for II
cured my baby of itching, torturins
eczema. 1t first came when she was
between three and four weeks old,
appearing on her head. / used every
thing imaginable and had one doc
tors bill after another, but nothing
cured it. Then the eczema broke out
so badly behind her ear that l really
thought her ear would come off. For
months | doctored it but to no avail
Then it began at her nose and her
eyes were nothing but sores. l had to
keep her in a dark room for two
weeks. The doctor did no good, so I
stopped him coming.
For about two weeks l had used
Cuticura Soap for her every day,
then got box of Cuticura Ointment
and began to use that. In a week
there was a marked Improvement In
all | used two cakes of Cuticura Soap
and one box of Cuticura Ointment and
my baby was cured of the sores. This
was last November; now her hair Is
growing out nicely and she has not q
scar on her. l can not praise Cuti-
cura enough. can take my child any.

her without a sore. From the time
she was four weeks old until she was
three years she was never without the

But my darling paid no attention to

me, and as l sprang to obey was gone

IMMEDIATE EFFECT OF GREAT KID
KEY REMEDY is SOON REALIZED

According to my experience I do not
consider there is anything to equal Dr..
Kilmer's Swamp Root for kidney affeo-
ton. Twice it relieved me when I was
completely helpless.
The last time | was travelling in Texas,
when my kidneys became affected, and
for ten days l suffered excruciating pain,
accompanied with severe chills. Several
years previous, having been relieved of .
similar attack, l naturally sought relief
as before, from Swamp Root.
After using four of the large size bot
ties, was completely restored and went
on my way rejoicing and praising DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root. This was three
years ago, and have had no indication OF
the return of the affection.

IN SPITE of all the jibes flung at
womankind for her fickleness as to
fashions in headwear, there are
some sorts of hats that are always
worn and always in style, or able to
defy the passing fads of the moment
Among them are the small toques de-
signed for elderly matrons and others
who affect incenspicuous and good
styles. the walking hat, dear to all
women, and the big picture hat, with
broad brim of graceful flowing lines
which Is the rose In the rosebud gar
den of hats every season. All the
styles vary little from time to time,
but hardly enough to identify them
selves as belonging to a certain year.
Three pretty and becoming hats for
matrons are pictured here suitable to
almost any season. The variation of
the English walking hat, with brim
faced with velvet, and turning up at
the left, is finished with very ample
drapery of silk. The arrangement of
this drapery gives the impression of a
shape turned up at both sides, as in
the regulation walking shape Such a
hat needs no additional trimming, but
may be adapted to young wearers by
the addition of smart feather. or it
may be elaborated for anyone by a
tuft of ostrich half plumes. One must
look far for a more elegant hat or
model so universally becoming.
Hats of this character require the
work Of an experienced milliner;
nothing short of perfection in draping
and in finish is permissible in them
Facings must fit; trimmings must be
placed by a practiced eye, otherwise
the hat is a dismal failure and i'm
possible.
The toque of silk or hair braid
shown in the second figure is easier
to accomplish. 1t is made on a light
wire frame which has an ample head
size. The frame is covered with chit
fon and faced with maine shirred on

Makes War Less Likely.

promotion of commercial relations
necessarily brings about a closer po-
litical and social relationship be-
tween nations and makes less like
ly the hostility and hard feeling that
are likely to lead to war"

President, that as commercial rela-
lions becomes wider and the Hague
tribunals purpose in preventing war
becomes better understood, the union
of all three countries in this world
will be an example to the rest of the
world of what can be done by an in
ternational union for the purpose of
maintaining peace.
Secretary Knox emphasizes the
part that American capital should
play in developing the resources of
Pan-America.
Let me candidly confess" he
too ignorant of our Southern neigh
bors, their vast undeveloped re-
sources and the measures they have
been taking to open themselves to
the world. The trade currents which
flow between the United States and
its Latin-American neighbors should
be north and south. The historic
trade routes are along lines Of lati-
tude rather than longitude. There
is profit for all of us in following the
natural lines of least geographical
resistance. We have reached the
stage in our national development
where our capital, never timorous
when the opportunities are common

Washington, ID. C. - Reciprocity
with Canada, reciprocity with all
countries of North and South Amer
lea and reciprocity, in fact, with all
nations, was advocated by both
President Taft and Speaker-to-be
Champ Clark in stirring addresses
at the opening session of the Pan
American Commercial Conference
Monday.
Speeches favoring a closer com
mercial union of North and South
America, with frequent reference
to the future of the Panama Canal
were made by the Secretary of State,
Mr.. Knox, James A. Farrell, presi-
dent of the United States Steel Cor
poration; Senior Calvo, the Costa
Rican minister to the United States:
Senior Caldero, the Bolivian minis
ter to the United States. and Senior
Casasus, formerly the Mexican am
bassador to this country. Nearly
600 delegates and almost the entire
Diplomatic Corps were present.
Champ Clark, who had just left
the House of Representatives, an
nounced in his address, amid loud
applause, that the test vote for i'm
mediate consideration of the Cana
dian reciprocity bill had been won
by the administration. Turning to
President Taft he said laughingly:
Partner With Taft.
That's a document which the
President and myself own in part
nership. But speaking for myself
not for President Taft or any one
else-I am for reciprocity, not only
with Canada, but with all South and
Central American republics. In fact,
I'm in favor of reciprocity with all
nations of the earth. My principle
Is that honest trade never hurt any
nation, yet"
Mr.. Clark's concluding statement,
that the Pan-American Union and
| The Hague Tribunal were two infiu-
ences which would finally put an end
to war among civilized nations, was
enthusiastically received.
L NE last speaker anu Lne next
speaker and l." said President Taft,
who followed Mr.. Clark, have got
ten together on one plank of plat
form; we're both rather heavy men
and I hope it supports us. It's a
great pleasure to be with him in the
promotion of trade in one part of
the world Canada He's in favor
of reciprocity in all parts of the
world and so am I, but that doesn't
help much toward a definite agree
ment. General principles are easy
to state. Well all vote for wise
measures, but when it comes to de
termine what measures are wise
there's difference. In anticipation
of his coming to be head of the
great popular branch of the legis-
lature, we have already gotten to-
gether on the most important matter
and hope we can carry it through. -
