too tight nor too loose, revealed some
thing rare-a pair of perfect dimpled
wrists. Neither gloves nor bangles
married them. Indeed the lack OF SUI
perfiuities throughout was refreshing.
Edison began to feel that after all Fate
had been kind-khder than he de-
served. Here was just the type he
had been vainly seeking for a week
the girl in Graham's novel, about
whom the author himself was SO par
ticular.
He wondered If he could recall her.
If he had dared he would have
sketehed her outline upon his cuff. She
did not seem to be watching him.
Yet he was aware she knew pretty
much what he did. She had answered
graciousiy enough the few common
places he had ventured without in any
way inviting their continuance. Evil

herbs. Her meal began with canta-
loupe and ended with sliced peaches
a double portion. In between there
were green corn and a crisp salad,
And by way of finale coffee, for which
Harney's was rather famous.
The two came to coffee at the same
time, though she had eat>u delicately

fingered his cigar a thought irreso-
lutely. She smiled and said-the first
time she had spoken unprovoked:
Light it, please-if you can say hon

CHILDREN INJURED
Ordinary CatharticS and Pills and
Harsh Physics Cause Distressing
Complaints.

You cannot be over-careful in the
selection of medicine for children. Only
the very gentlest bowel medicine
should ever be given, eXcept-in emerg-
ency cases. Ordinary pills, cathartics
and purgatives are apt to do more
harm than good. They may cause grip
ing, nausea and other distressing af-
ter-effects that are frequently health
destroying.
We personally recommend and guar
antee Rexall Orderlies as the safest
and most dependable remedy, which
we know, for constipation and associ-
ate bowel disorders. We have suck alb
solute faith in the virtues of this rem
edy that we sell it on our guarantee of
money back in every instance it fails
to give entire satisfaction, and we urge
all in need of such a medicine to try
it at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten just like

and agreeable in action may be TAX
en- at any time, day or night; do not
cause diarrhoea, nausea, gripping, eX-
cessive looseness or other undesirable
effects. They have a very mild but
positive action upon the organs with
which they come in contact, apparent
ly acting as a regulative tonic upon
the relaxed muscular coat of the bow
els, thus overcoming weakness, and
aiding to restore the bowels to more
vigorous and healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies promptly and COM
pletely relieve constipation, except of
course when of surgical character
They also tend to overcome the nee
essity of constantly taking laxatives

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

Any medicine for external application
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional
disease, and in order to cure it you
must take internal remedies. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not
quaek medicine. 1t was prescribed
by one of the best physicians in this
country for years and is a regular pre-
scription. 1t is composed of the best
tones known, combined with the best
blood purifiers, acting directly ON the

Psrs,a's Great Superstition.

The greatest superstition in Persia is
what is hnoWn as the evil eye" You

it will be because Won gave him the
evil eye. You must not say to a

thing unfortunate happens to the child

Many mothers let their children go
dirty and poorly clothed in order that
they may not attract favorable atten-
ton. The sign which is thought to
have some power to avert the evil eye
consists in holding the second and
third fingers of both hands close to the
palms with the thumbs. while the other
fingers are extended straight out.
Then with the hands behind you you
make a downward movement three

Edison frowned as the girl took the
vacant seat opposite him. He dined
at Harney's oftener than he could
well afford because the place was so
much man-size. Women came there
to be sure, but either in family par
ties, or properly escorted; that is to
say, for the most part. He had once
or twice before seen the lone female
in search of a meal, but only once or
twice.
This afternoon the lone woman was
particularly upsetting. He had come
rather early-the day had been bis
tering-intent upon getting his pet
table, just beside the fountain. There,
if anywhere one caught a breath of
breeze; moreover the water-play made
the air fresh, and the big skylight
overhead was sure to be open. The
tiny table was hardly big enough for
two, Why had he not seized upon
Cram or hardy and made them come
in with him? Then he might have
smoked his cigar, slipping his coffee
the while at peace with all the world.
All this flashed upon him between
lines of the sporting extra, in which
he affected to be buried. But even a
double-header at the local park could
not last longer than through the inter-
val of waiting. He had refused the
regular dinner, ordering what he
chose The woman would be sure to
go right through all the courses, else

plexion. Her skin was fine and firm.
Her hair looked alive-fine tendrils
dropped on her brow and about the
nape of her neck. She was quietly
gowned, in a soft sheer gray some
thing almost entirely lacking trim
mings. The lack recommended her to
