Captain Keith. Why did. this man
Hawley send me to the Salt Fork?"
He thought he was dealing with
Christie Maclaire. He had some rea-
son for getting her away; getting her
where he could exercise influence over
her."
"Yes-yes; but who is she?"
THAT is what makes the matter so
hard to unravel. She doesn't even
know herself. Hawley is going to
take advantage of her ignorance in
this respect, and convince her that
she Is the person he wishes her to
represent-but who is the person? If

leaving England, received two letters

him to dine, and the other from the
secretary of religious society, a very
old friend, asking him to preach. He
accepted the archbishop's invitation,
and at the same time wrote to the
secretary, but put the letters into the
wrong envelopes.
After the dinner at Lambeth the
archbishop said to him: "Mr. M.

THE LITTLE WIDOW
A Mighty Good Sort Of Neighbor to
Have.

"A httle widow, neighbor of mine.
persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts when
my stomach was so weak that 1t
would not retain food of any other
kind" writes grateful woman, from
San Bernardino Co., Cal.
Il had been i'll and confined to my
bed with fever and nervous prostra-
ton for three long months after the
birth Of my second boy. We were in
despair until the little widows advice
brought relief.
II liked Grape-Nuts food from the
beginning. and in an incredibly short
time It gave me such strength that I
was able to leave my bed and enjoy
my three good meals day. In q
months my weight increased from IS
to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied
down and I felt ready for anything.
My neighbors were amazed to SEQ me
gain so rapidly, and still more so
when they heard that Grape-N.:ts
alone had brought the change.
'My 4-year-old boy had eczema very
bad last spring and lost his appetite
entirely, which made him cross and
peevish. put him on diet of Grape
Nuts, which he relished at once He

KAita's eyes lifted to her face, his
ears quick to detect the undertone
in her voice.
Undressing? yes, for l was seeking
after information, and met with some
success. AS to the other question, l
am not sure whether l admire the lady
or nut. She is bright, pretty, and
comp.nlonable, and in spite OF her
profession, at heart, l believe, good
woman. But really, Miss Hope. was

Of you"
"Of me? Why?'
II told her something of our ad-
ventures together; OF how both HaW-
lev and l had been confused. She was
anxious to learn who you were. OUT

you had been riding an envelope bear

the man brought to me from Hawley;
he had written it that way" She
crossed the room, sinking down into a
chair facing him. "And you have
actually confused me with Christie
Maclaire all this while? Have never
known who was?"
He shook his head.

my name-I am Hope Waite"
