At five in the morning a heavy mo
tof car OF the most advanced type
stole in sinister silence out of tho
courtyard of the Hotel d'Orient, at the
same sedate pace and with the same
surreptitious air skulked through the
town, and finally swung eastwards
upon the Route de la Corniche, sud
denly discarding all pretense of docil-
'ty and swooping onward with windy
roar, its powerful motor purring like

KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
For Time.

It's easy to understand how ordi
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks of his own expe-
rience:
Il had used coffee for years and really
did not exactly believe it was injuring
me although l had palpitation of the
heart every day. (Tea contains caf-
feine-the same drug found in coffee
and is just as harmful as coffee.)
Finally one day severe and al
most fatal attack OF heart trouble
frightened me and gave up both tea
and coffee, using Postum instead, and
since that time have had absolutely
no heart palpitation except on one or
two occasions when | tried small
uantity of coffee, which caused severe
irritation and proved to me / must let
It alone.
when we began using Postum It
seemed weak-that was because we
did not make 1t according to directions
but now we put a little bit OF but
ter In the pot when boiling and allow
the Postum to boil full Is minutes
which gives it the proper rich flavor
and the deep brown color
Il have advised a great many OF
my friends and patients to leave on
coffee and drink Postum, in fact daily
give this advice Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich.
Many thousands of physicians use
Postum In place of tea and coffee in
their own homes and prescribe It to
patients.

but your faithful lover-come to you
to be healed and comforted.
Dear heart of me. give me this last
chance!"
With an eldritch shrek and a
mighty rushing wind the storm broke
over the mainland and a roaring rain
came down.
lmpulsively the Irishman turned off
the lights, and, lifting his wife in his
arms bore her to an armchair by the
window.
The storm waned in fury, passed,
died in dull distant mutterings. Still
she rested in his embrace, her flushed
iace wet with tears, pillowed to his
cheek, her mouth seeking his.
Vague murmurings sounded in the
stiffness, signs -.
