order to acquaint him somewhat with
put him in touch with some of the
sources of information to which he
would need to refer in the work upon
which he was now engaged. We had
spent a couple of hours together, and
were passing across the capitol, with
the intent of looking in upon the de-
alterations of the houses of congress,
when all at once, as we crossed the
corridor, felt him touch my arm.
Did you see that young lady?" he
asked me. 'She looked at you, yess ?"

have known that she was there.
1t was Elizabeth, alone, and hurry

ing the first stair. In a moment she
would be gone. 1 sprang after her by in
stinct, without plan, clear in my mind
only that she was going, and with her
all the light of the world; that she
was going, and that she was beautiful,
adorable; that she was going, and that
she was Elizabeth!
AS I took a few rapid steps toward
her, had full opportunity to see that
no grief had preyed upon her comeli-
ness, nor had concealment fed upon
her damask cheek. Almost with some
resentment saw that she had never
seemed more beautiful than on this
morning. The costume of those days
was trying to any but a beautiful
woman; yet Elizabeth had way of
avoiding extremes which did not ap-
peal to her individual taste. Her frock
now was all in pink, as became the
gentle spring, and the bunch of sill
very ribbons which f1uttered at her
belt had quite the agreeing shade to
finish in perfection the cool, sweet pic

Seeing that there was no escape,
she paused now and turned toward
me. I have never seen a glance like
hers.

Her voice was all cool white enamel.

CHILDREN AFFECTED
BY Mothers Food and Drink.

Many babies have been launched
into life with constitutions weakened
by disease taken in with their moth
ers' milk. Mothers cannot be too care
full as to the food they use while nurs-
ing their babes.
The experience of a Kansas City
mother is a case in point:
Il was a great coffee drinker from a
child. and thought could not do with
out it. But found at last it was do
ing me harm. For years 1 had been
troubled with dizziness, spots before
my eyes and pain in my heart, to
which was added, two years later, q
chronic sour stomach.
THE baby was born z months ago,
and almost from the beginning, it, too,
suffered from sour stomach. She was
taking it from mel
.In my distress I consulted a friend
of more experience and she told me
to quit coffee. that coffee did not
make good milk 1 have since ascer-
tanned that it really dries up the milk.
so, quit coffee and tried tea and
at last cocoa. But they did not agree
with me. Then I turned to Postum
with the happiest results 1t proved
to be the very thing I needed. 1t not
only agreed perfectly with DaDy ana
myself, but it increased the flow Of
my milk.
MY husband then quit coffee and
used Postum and quickly got well of
the dyspepsia with which he had been
troubled. I no longer suffer from the
dizziness, blind spells, pain in my
heart or sour stomach.
Now we all drink Postum from my
husband to my seven months old
baby. 1t has proved to be the best
hot drink we have ever used We
would not give up Postum for the best
coffee we ever drank" Name given

CHAPTER xxI.-continued.

Her face was half hidden by her
fan, and her eyes, covered by their
deep lids, gave no sign of her
thoughts. The same cold voice went
on:
You might, for instance, tell Mr..
Polk, which is to say Mr.. Van Zandt,
that if his name goes on this little
treaty for Texas, nothing will be said
to Texas regarding his proposal to
give Texas over to England. 1t might
not be safe for that little fact gen.
orally to be known in Texas as it is
known to me. We will keep it secret.
You might ask Mr.. Van Zandt if he
would value a seat in the senate of
these United States, rather than a
lynching rope, So much do I value
your honorable acquaintance with Mr..
Polk and Mr.. Van Zandt, my dear
lady, that do not go to the latter and
demand his signature in the make of
his republican,, 1 merely suggest to
you that did you take this little treaty
for day, and presently return it to
me with his signature attached, 1
should feel so deeply gratified that /
should not ask you by what means
you had attained this most desirable
result! And 1 should hope that if you
certain gentleman, at least you might
win your own evening of the scales
with him"
Her face colored darkly. In a flash
she saw the covert al1usion to the
faithless Pakenham. Here was the
chance to cut him to the soul. She

She sat, her fan tight at her white
teeth. TT would be death to me if it
were known" she said. But still she
pondered, her eye alight with somber
fire, her dark cheek red in a woman's
anger

dear lady. These things, however.
must be concluded swiftly. We have
not time to wait. Let US not argue
over the unhappy business. Let me
think of Mexico as our sister republic
and our friendi"
And suppose 1 shall not do this
that you ask, senor?"

You threaten, Senior Secretary"
"On the contrary, ! implore, Dear
lady, may we not conspire together
for the ultimate good of three repub-
lies, making of them two noble ones,
later to dwell in amity? Shall we not
hope to see all this continent swept
free of monarchy, held free, for the
peoples of the world?'
For an instant, no more, she sat and
pondered. Suddenly she bestowed
upon him a smile whose brilliance
might have turned the head of an
| other man Rising, she swept him a
curtsey whose grace 1 have not seen
surpassed.
In return, Mr.. Calhoun bowed to her
with dignity and ease, and, lifting her
hand, pressed it to his lips. Then, of
| fering her an arm, he led her to his
carriage I could scarce believe my
eyes and ears that SO much, and of SO
much Importance, had thus SO easily
been accomplished, where all had
seemed so near to the impossible.
