the lungs.
Don't take any chances. If you
have any symptoms of catarrh-
stuffed up feeling in the head, nasty
discharge from the nose, sore throat,
or dry, hacking cough, get fifty
cent bottle of Ely's Cream Balm from
your druggist, and begin the treat
ment at once.
This remedy is not a "burning
out" or drying up process. 1t is
simply a cleansing, healing, antisep-
tic Balm, taken through the nostrils
back into the head and throat where
it instantly reaches the seat of the
trouble. That's the only way to ef-
fectually and permanently cure ca
tarrh.

CHAPTER xxxIl.
The Judqe's Grandson.

In that bare upper room they had
shared, the judge, crushed and bro
ken, watched beside the bed on which
the dead man lay; unconscious OF the
flight of time he sat with his head
bowed in his hands, having scarcely
altered his position since he begged
those who carried Mahaffy up the
narrow stairs to leave him alone with
his friend.
He was living over the past. He
recalled his first meeting with Ma
haffy in the stuffy cabin of the small
river packet from which they had
later gone ashore at Pleasantville; he
thanked God that it had been given
him to see beneath Solomon's forbid
ding exterior and into that starved
heart! He reviewed each phase OF
the almost insensible growth of their
intimacy; he remembered Mahatfy's
fine true loyalty at the time OF his ar
rest-he thought of Damon and
Pythias-Mahaffy had reached the
heights of sublime devotion; he
could only feel ennobled that he had
inspired 1t.
At last the dusk of twilight in
vaded the room. He lighted the can
dies on the chimneypiece, then he re-
sumed his seat and his former attl-
tude. Suddenly he became aware OF
a small hand that was resting on his
arm and glanced up; Hannibal had
stolen quietly into the room. The
boy pointed to the still figure on the
bed
Judge, what makes Mr.. Mahaffy lie
so ouiet-is he dead?" be asked in a
whisper.
Yes. dear lad" began the judge in
a shaking voice, as he drew Hannibal
toward him, your friend and mine is
dead-we have lost him." lie lifted
the boy into his lap, and Hannibal
pressed tear-stained face against
the Judges shoulder. How did you
get here?" the judge questioned gent.
ly.
Uncle Bob fetched me-" said Han
nibal. Hes downstairs, but he
didn't tell me Mr. Mahaffy was dead"
We have sustained a great loss.
Hannibal, and We must never forget
the moral grandeur of the man. Some
day, when you are older, and can
bring myself to speak of it, will tell
you of his last moments" The judges
voice broke, thick sob rose choking
ly in his throat. Poor Solomon! A
man of such tender feeling that he hid
it from the world, for his was rare
nature which only revealed itself to
the chosen few he honored with his
love" The judge lapsed into a mo-
mentary brooding silence, in which
his great arms drew the boy closer
against his heart. Dear lad, since |
left you at Belle Plain very aston
ishing knowledge has come to me.
1t was the Hand of Providence see
it now-that first brought us togeth-
er. You must not call me judge any
more; | am your grandfather-your
mother was my daughter"

GIVE TOUCH OF SMARTNESS
Artificial Rose or Orchid, Easily
Made, Adds Much to Appearance
of an Evening Gown.

Make huge rose of black velvet II
you need little extra touch of smart
ness for your evening or tea gown.
The rose is formed of dozen or
eighteen petals, cut in the graduated
sizes pertaining to the natural flower
eighteen petals, cut in the graduated
foudation easily made of firmly
twisted chenille. To make the petals
appear crisp, the velvet instead Of
being doubled as is done in making
eXotics of thin material, is smoothly
pasted on one side of piece of coarse
black net. The necessary quantity of
mucilage used will stiffen the Joined
materials to the desired firmness and
yet they will be sufficiently flexible to
be easily pressed into proper shape
whenever disarranged
Easier to shape than the rose is the
orchid. This, also made of velvet and
coarse net, has six long and slender
petals with pointed ends tied at their
tips with slender golden threads. An
olive, such as is employed in connec-
tion with military loops, is the best
foundation for a velvet orchid, and to
one end of it the wider ends of the
petals may be securely fastened.
This will leave a point protruding
from the heart of the exotic, but one
which may be beautiful concealed un-
der a catlix group of seven yellow
silk French knots. The other half
of the olive will be needed as the base
through which tn thrust the safety
pins that fasten the flower at the
breast or wherever the corsage bou'
quet is worn

WHEN BUYING WRITING PAPER |
Certain Times of the Year When
Suitable Colors and Tones May Be
Acquired in Quantities.

The woman who would get the most
for her money buys her writing paper
In quantity at an annual sale.
The reason for these sales Is that
the manufacturers accumulate small
lots of discontinued papers. They are
not cheap qualities or seconds, merely
styles that are not novel
It is possible to get four quires of
paper and 100 envelopes for dollar,
and there is a choice of different
weight, texture and color of the paper,
various shades of blue, gray, lavender,
cream and white, also stripes and bars
In self tones. These come in two
sizes, usually letter aud note.
Marking varies according to color.
Two-colored letters are most expen-
i've; plain gold, silEer or a single
metallic color costs about 25 cents a
quire; a single plain color, gray, blue,
violet or brown, ten cents a quire,
and embossing in relief without color,
about five cents a quire. These are
tandard prices almost everywhere
he year round, the reduction being
on the price of paper.
In buying paper by the quantity 1t
Is not wise to choose novelties. An
i1conspicuous color and good quality
is always good. Many women adopt
q certain tone and kind of paper and
make it individual Thus, the girl who
loves violet will have aale violet paper
with deeper tone CT silver for the
stamping, while the transparent en-
veiSpes are lined with violet tissue
paper of a deeper shade than the en-
yslope.
Gray paper or very pale blue is also
permissible, but it is bad form use
garish stationery.

fore.
Step off the ground, Tom" Fen
tress spoke quietly. When Ware had
done as requested, the colonel spoke
again. You are my witness that /
was the victim of an unprovoked at
tack"
Mr.. Ware accepted this statement
with equanimity, not to say indiffer
ence
Are you ready?" he asked; he
glanced at Mahaffy, who by a slight
inclination of the head signitied that
he was. Il reckon you're green
hand at this sort of thing?" comment
ed Tom evilly.
YES" said Mahaffy tersely.
We'll, listen: l shall count, one,
two, three; at the word three you will
fire. Now take your positions.
Mahaffy and the colonel stood fac
ing each other, a distance of twelve
PAGES separating them. Mahaffy was
pale but dogged; he eyed Fentress
unflinchingly. Quick on the word Fen

bullet had taken effect, the two men
maintained the rigid attitude they had

raised it slowly, with difficulty, as
though it were held down by some in
visible weight.
A hush spread across the field. 1t
was like one of natures invisible
transitions. Along the edge OF the
woods the song of birds was stricken
into silence. Ware, heavy-eyed-Fen-
tress, his lips twisted by a tortured
smile, watched Mahaffy as he painted
for breath, with his hand cIenched
against his breast. That dead, oppres-
sive silence lasted but moment; ;
from out OF it came a cry that smote
on the wounded mans ears and
reached his consciousness
It's Price" he gasped, his words
bathed in blood. and he pitched for
| ward on his face.
Ware and Fentress had heard the
cry. too, and running to their horses
threw themselves into the saddle and
gaIloped off. The judge midway of
the meadow roared out a furious pro-
test. but the mounted men turned in
to the highroad and vanished from
sight, and the judges shaking legs
bore him swiftly in the direction OF
the gaunt figure on the ground.
Mahaffy struggled to rise, for he

IIOUESTIONS

If your floor mating has faded, but
Is not worn, give 1t coat of varnish
In any desired shade of varnish stain,
and it will wear longer and look fine.
To take out the mark sometimes
left after cleaning a garment with
gasoline, lay over the place piece of
clean white tissue paper, and press
with a hot iron. This will at once re-
move all trace of the stain.
If shoes have been thoroughly wet
don't attempt to dry them near the
stove. Rub in plenty of vaseline or
plain lard and let stand in cool place
several days, and much of the original
oil will be restored.
If the bedstead Is really brass, a
piece of flannel moistened in salt and
vinegar will clean it. Slightly touch
the spots, then with a clean flannel
rub the entire surface of the brass, u.s.
ing little whiting on dry flannel as
a final polish.
Don't pass hours each week black
ing your stove. Ten cents worth of
stove enamel, which can be applied in
a few minutes, will last six months,
and all it needs is daily wiping off
with damp cloth. Besides, 1t looks
much better than blacking
If you are troubled with black
beetles in your rooms, make paste
of red lead, -four and water, roll out
thinly with glass bottle, and
put on a hot baking sheet to dry.
Strew around pipes and corners that
they frequent These waters are
highly poisonous, so must not be
placed where children or household
pets can get at them.

Potpourri made with lemon verbena
is preferred by many people to the
rose jar One simple, but very effec-
tive, method of making it is by strip
ping the petals from the flowers and
thoroughly drying them. Then throw
them into jar, strewing first hand
full of salt on the bottom of the jar,
then a handful Of leaves, and so on
until all are used.
A tablespoonful of alcohol should be
thrown on once a week, and the jar
should be tightly closed one with a
double top preferable. Let 1t stand
until the odor of the chosen flower
comes from it, after which leave the
outer lid off so that the odor may go
through the room.

Junket or Curds.

"Curds" is the genuine old name,
and they call it "cruddes" in Scotland.
1t owes its name of junket to the old
custom of making it in great masses,
then lifting it out of the bowls and
laying it on clean rushes foP~the
whey to drain away from 1t. Juncus
Is the Latin name for rush-hence
junket.
These solid curds were used to
cook with. Here is a recipe for "Curd
Cakes"
Take pint Of curds, four yolks and
two whites Of eggs, add sugar, nutmeg
and little flour, mix we'll, and drop
the cakes like fritters into hot fat.
and fry lightly.

Nab the junkets ate," and there is
nothing nicer than . good Junket.
