There came a strange sound from
Talbot's lips. All turned toward him.
He had staggered back against the
wall and stood there, staring al gen.
tleman who was just emerging from
the elevator.
He was a stout, bald, dignified-look-
ing gentleman, wearing a frock coat
adorned with singularly large carna-
ton, and in his hand he carried a
gold-headed cane and silk hat which
shone like glass. Jocelyn jumped
three inches into the air. But the
elderly gentleman, as though wholly
unconscious of the impression that he
was creating, came forward, not in
the least disconnected, with stolid,
imperturbable stride. and extended
one hand TO Jocelyn in a languid
fashion.
How do you do, Richard?" he said.
81 trust see you well? Warm wealth
er we're having for this time Of year. +"
Yes, father" said Jocelyn duti-
fully.
Then he looked at his father again.
There was change in the old gentle
mans expression. He was smiling
now. 1t was a wooden smile. as
though it had been hung there and did
not naturally belong to him, and he
was actually Sinking, too, in a pc
culiar, half-timid, half-furtive manner
How do you like herr" he asked
sheepishly.
Like whom?" cried his son.
Your stepmother, Richard" said
Viscount Jocelyn. Il married her this
morning when We stepped off the

bent his head to hers, and but for her
sudden withdrawal would have kissed
her lips
Next instant, realizing what he had
done, he started TO his feet, and, his

words that he anticipated. But none

eproachfully; yet, if he had dared TO
observe her. he might have seen the
faintcst suspicion OF a smile upon her
countenance. But, while both still
kept silent, there came a ring at the
door, and JoCelyn stepped forward
and opened it.
Outside stood Talbot, a policeman
at his side.
There she is" cried his servitor,
addressing the officer and indicating
the lady within. "Harrest her, con-
stable-I mean hoficer. That's the

cried Jocelyn angrily, stepping for

find women who have been restored TO
health by this famous medicine. Almost
every woman you meet knows Of the
great good it has been doing among
suffering women for the past 30 years.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds OF
thousands of letters from women seek
ing health, in which many openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
many Of whom state that it has saved
them from surgical operations.

PROTEST AGAINST THE PIT.
Musicians Who Serve Theaters Want
Better Accommodations.

CHICAGO. July 6-The Federation of
Musicians, whose members furnish the
music for the various theaters. have en-
tered protest against being placed in a
pit under the stage. and demand that
their request be granted by August L.
The members have decreed that in musical
shows and vaudeville they must have
seats where they can at least hear the
singers if they cannot see them.
The demands are said to be made on
account of the Inkind things said by
musical critics. The musicians claim that
under the present arrangement they do
not hear the singer and the singer does
not hear the music until 1t has been
ECHOED back after travelling out into
the auditorium. On this account they
say that the singer Is oftentimes ahead
of the music or the music is ahead of the
singer, q situation for which they are not
to blame.
