 Not at all, not at all James is usually glad enough to get Genevieve at any price.
 And by the time the glamor has worn off and he has time enough left from his own emotions to think about hers, he has quit thinking about emo tions and got back on the job.

A HIT What She Gained by Trying Again.

A failure at first makes US esteem final success.
 A family in Minnesota that now en- joys Postum would never have known how good it Is if the mother had been discouraged by the failure of her first attempt to prepare it. Her son tells the story:
 We had never used Postum till last spring when father brought home a package one evening just to try 1t. We had heard from our neighbors, and in fact every one who used 1t, how well they liked 1t.
 Well the next morning Mother brewed 1t about five minutes. just as she had been in the habit of doing with coffee without paying special at tentlon to the directions printed on the package. It looked weak and dldn have very promising color. but nevertheless father raised his cup With an air of exceptancy. It certain. ly did give him great surprise. but I'm afraid it wasn't a very pleasant one, for he put down his cup with a look of disgust.
 Mother wasn't discouraged though. and next morning gave it another trial. letting t stand on the stove till boil ing began and then letting it boil for fifteen or twenty minutes. and this time We were all so pleased with it that We have used 1t ever since.
 Father was a confirmed dyspeptic and cup of coffee was to him like pol son. So he never drinks 1t any more. but drinks Postum regularly. He isn't troubled with dyspepsia now and is actually growing fat, and I'm sure Postum is the cause of it. All the chil- dren are allowed to drink 1t and they are perfect pictures of health" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek. Mich.

 "yery well, James," says Genevieye, and her heart sinks down, down into her little suede boots, because she has been counting on a months breathing spell where there wasn't a sign of her James, or any other woman's James. or any James as yet unat- tached For, 10 the heart Of her, she is sick of Jameses.

 He dearly loves to help his wife se- leet her clothes. They get the frock and then begins the dicker for a hat. James Is the paymaster, and Gene vieye curls up with disgust, because he likes such unutterable things; but she cannot deny him the exercise of his taste. because. if she does, she is going 10 have to coax him. And to | coax James. Because by the time she has lived q year CT two with an un- loved James he gives her the horrors worse than even at first.
 And, you just take my word for it. 1 the James she doesn't love is having a fine time Because the other kind, the sensitive sort, would have had 1 sense enough to know from the start | that she had no use for him.

 Now. then. hurry up and change and get lunch and we'll go over to the hut Perhaps We can encourage and console him
 An hour later the widow an- nouneed that she was going to see the hermit She might or might not know him, but she had an idea she did. There was considerable argu- ment about her going alone. but she prevailed, and got directions and started of. It was an ideal place for hermit. The woods and brush were , dense, the old house almost roofiess. and more lonely spot could not have been found for ten miles around. From the shelter of brush the widow took long look. Only woodpecker was to be seen and heard. and he was' cer- N"AAA's o HCJVtbtd lOOhlLS DIIu.
