Miss Vining paused effectively.
But you have not answered my

"Who was the girl that came down
the path with you?"
The man drew closer to her. The
flippancy was gone from his voice,
His face was earnest.
Miss Vining, you have inferred
that l am guilty of conduct unbecom-

ago you ran after me in a spirit of
mischief, and in the same spirit
caught you in my arms and kissed
you. If l have hurt you l am sim

Jackie Vining did not meet his eyes.

The following letter was received
by DR.. Hartman through his regular
correspondence:

very much to find q remedy such as
your article describes"
To the above letter DR.. Hartman
made the following reply:
My dear Madam:-I do not wonder
that you are confused and have lost
all faith in advertised remedies.
There has been so much said against
them, SO much controversy concern

would ask her whether she has been

Is a housewife, like yourself. that she
has something to do besides write
letters, that she is a woman of mod
crate means and cannot afford to
write these letters and pay her own
postage. I hope you will enclose
stamp so she can answer you without
loss to herself. Mrs. Boyle is very
estimable lady and no doubt you will
both profit by being acquainted with
each other.
Should you conclude to try Peruna
for your catarrh I would be very glad
to hear of the result. can assure you
that no use will be made of your let
ter, except by your written consent.
Mrs. Boyle very kindly consented to
have me use her letter, which Is my
reason for doing SO. and you will be
treated exactly as she has been.
People recover from chronic ca
tarrh who take Peruna. There Is no
doubt about that. Some surprising
recoveries are reported almost daily.
I have thousands of them in my files.
