Kendall held himself tense. From
somewhere in the great empty house
there had come the sound Of foot
step.
His hand went out instinctively
toward the loaf of bread and the bit
Of cheese which constituted his
breakfast. At all events he must
hide these.
Again there was silence, and with
a sigh Of relief he returned to his
meal only to throw his head up again,
listening
This time the sound was unmis-
taxable. There was some one in the
house.
Gathering up his provisions, he
stored them in the fireplace, crum-
ping newspaper carelessly in front
of them, that they might be screened
from view.
Then he crept to the top Of the
stairs. He was on the third floor.
He seemed to look down through a
haze Of dusty pale green light to the
entrance hall. A woman stood there.
She had key in her hand, and even
from that distance he could see that
she was pale and careworn.
Bring the little trunk in here" he
heard her say, suddenly and clearly,
to some one outside; you can leave
1t in the hail."
She opened a small pocketbook
and took out a coin. He saw big
hand reach out to grasp it; then the
door closed, and the girl sat down
on the little trunk and drew long
breath of relief.
Kendall stood, irresolute. He turn.
ed back into his own barren room, 81
don't care" he murmured.
He returned repeatedly to the TOP
of the steps, however, and Watched
the girl drag her trunk into what
had once been a parlor. He could
hear her light footsteps moving to
and fro. Later in the day she went
out, and he descended the stairs

He came in with a most gloomy ex-
preston, and sat down close, too
close, to my desk, where was up to
my eyes in paper bag correspond

Queried, GROSSLY, divided between curl

Baxter has gor.e," he said, mourn
fully. Baxter is his housekeeper, and,
according to him, one of the greatest
treasures that ever fell to the lot of a
bachelor. "Only for day or two" he
went on. But I've got'-and he
named very eminent lawyer indeed

deeply.
"Take him to a restaurant" I re.
piled unfeelingly.
"He won't go to restaurants" said
Bakers master with bitterness. "Says
they upset his digestion, gastric trou-
BILE, and all that. He can only eat
white foods, and must have a fruit
salad at every meal. Talk of fads!"
"Cook the supper yourself sug-
gested. you've got an electric stove,
you know"
Cook it myself! On, come, you
might show little feeling and inter-
est when you see me in such fix"
"Paper-bag It," 1 went on calmly,
holding one up for inspection.
His face lit up. do you think l
could? I've never cooked since my
schoolboy camping days."
'Now, look here l said severely.
IF give you the paper bags and tell
you what to do, will you go away
and do it and let me get on with my
work."
He gave me most unforensic
wink. "You bet! What lark!"

menu:

WAS 1t a success?" l asked, al
though 1 knew the answer beforehand.
"A success? l should just think so.
The old boy was delighted. Helped
himself twice to everything, and ask

giving a little supper party next
week; suppose you could let me have
ona or. two more recipes, eh?"
So for the convenience of bachelors

FINAL RESULT Of
IMPURE BLOOD
The System Is Left Weak, Ron
Down and Helpless Against
the Attacks of Disease.

If you need strength, if your blood 10
thin, your digestion disordered, it will
pay YOU to investigate the merits of DR..
Williams Pink Pills, the remedy that
has transformed so many weak, ansemic,
dyspeptic, ambitionless people into
strong, healthy, hungry men and
women.
Mrs. Lena May Roberts, whose ad-
dress is R. F. D. No. 8, Aberdeen, So.
Dakota after several months of suffering
finally found the right tonic in DR..
Williams Pink Pills. She says:
''For months after the birth of my
baby, suffered terribly from a general
breakdown in health. was in bed for
three months and after that was able to
be up only part of the time. l was
sick all over, being pale, weak and
thin. My appetite was gone and my
head ached most of the time. Often
times there seemed to be a rush of blood
to my head and would faint away. /
was very nervous and was not strong
enough to do any work.
GAS the treatment I was taking did
not help me, I began to take DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills, which friend said
had helped her. After taking few
boxes, I began to get well rapidly. I
continued using them for a time and
am now as well and strong as ever in
my life."
The value of DIR. Williams Pink Pills
in general debility lies in their direct re-
spouse to the needs of the blood. Their
work is to make new blood. That they
do this well is shown by the gradual
disappearance of the symptoms and
the return of color and health. They
lay the foundation for permanent health
in the future.
For the same reason these pills have
cured an@mia, after-efects Of the grip
and fevers, rheumatism, indigestion,
and nervousness, dizziness, neuralgia
and St. Vitus' dance, and are recon-
mended wherever tonic for the blood
and nerves is needed.
A valuable booklet, 'Diseases of the
Blood" containing fuller information
about rheumatism and other diseases Of
the blood will be sent free upon request.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re-
ceipt Of price, SO cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.

up her household goods in corner
of the big room. She had rut a
bright cretonne cover on thu old
couch and a crimson cushion in a
broken-down easy chair On a crack
ed handicapped table was her
housekeeping outfit-a small brass
kettle, two blue cups and two blue
plates.
There were two solid-silver spoons,
also, and Kendall smiled ruefully as
he looked at them. IF were bur-
glar, instead of a poverty-stricken
artist, she might have her troubles
about that silver" he said.
He smelled the delicious fragrance
of coffee at noon, and sighed for a.
taste Of it as he finished the loaf
and the cheese and washed them
down with drink Of water.
He made up his mind that he must
let the girl know that he was in tho
house. She might hear him and be
frightened. The next time that she
went out, he waited for her on the
fpnt steps.
She stiffened as he spoke to her.

riedly.
