and yet to switch off on a new sub
ject was not to be thought of at a
moment Of such emotional intensity.
The actor evidently felt this, for he
said suddenly, with a relapse into a
lighter tone and letting his eyebrows
escape from an overshadowing close
ness to his eyes:
But why should trouble you with
the sorrows that have cast their shad-
ow on me? Why should my matri-
monial troubles be allowed to darken
the brightness of two young lives
which have not yet known the joys
and the perils of the welded state?"
The pause that followed this re-
mark was the most portentous that
had yet fallen on the trio. Rose cast
surreptitious glance at the dark
figure of young Ryan, lying back in
the shadows of the armchair. AS
she looked he stirred and said with
the abrupt, hard dryness which had
marked his manner since Buford's
entrance:
Don't take too much for granted,
Mr.. Buford. I've known some of the
joys and perils of the welded state
myself"
The actor stared at him in open
eyed surprise.

that you are married MANI"
You do" returned Dominick
Really now, / never would have
guessed it! Pardon me for not hav-
ing given you the full dues of your
position. Your wife. 7 take it, has
no knowledge of the risk she recently
ran of losing her husband?"

Dominick threw the rug off and
rose to his feet.

I'll go back to my room
He tried to step forward. but the
pain of his unhealed foot was unbear-
able, and he caught the edge of the
table and held it, his face paling with
sudden anguish The actor, startled
by the abruprness of his uprising, APP
preached him with a vague prefer of
assistance and was arrested by his
sharp command:
60 and get Perley! He's in the
bar probably. l can't stand this way
for long. Hurry up"
Buford ran out of the room, and
Rose somewhat timidly drew near the
young man, braced against the table,
his eyes down-bent, his face hard in
the struggle with sudden and unfa-
miliar pain.

Without answering her he tore open
the letter and, moving to the light OF
the window, held the sheet up and
began to read.
There was silence for some min
utes. The fire sputtered and snapped,
and once or twice the crisp paper
rustled in Dominick's hands. Rose
held her fingers out to the warmth
studying them with her head on one
side as If she had never seen them
before. Presently she slid noiselessly
out of her coat, and dropped 1t.
heap OF silky fur, on a chair beside
her. The movement made it conven-
lent to steal q glance at the young
man. He was reading the letter, his
body close against the window-pane,
his face full of frowning, almost fierce
concentration. She turned back to
the fire and made small, surreptitious
smoothings and jerks Of arrange
ment at her collar, her belt, her skirt.
Dominick turned the paper and there
was something aggressive In the
cracking Of the thin, dry sheet.
'Perley got a letter from your
mother" she said suddenly, shat he
was reading in a corner OF the post
Office, and 1t nearly made him cry"
There was no answer. She waited
for space and then said, projecting
the remark into the heart Of the fire.
Yours must be a most interesting

She heard him move and looked
quickly back at him, her face all gas

somber that her expression changed
as If she had received a check to her
gaiety as unexpected and effectual as
a blow. She shrank a little as he
came toward her, the letter in his
hand.

Since those first days OF his illness,
his wife's name had beeu rarely men

young Mrs Ryan was a delicate sub

cause anything that reminded him of
Berry was painful. But the truth was
that, from the first, the wife had
doomed before them as a figure OF
dread, a specter whose presence con

Now, love awakened, forcing itself
upon their recognition, her name came
up between them, chilling and grim
as the image of death intruding sud

The change that had come over the
interview all in a moment was start

the plane of everyday converse to

CHAPTER vii.
The unknomn Eros

ne Unknown EROS.
The ten. days that followed were
among the most important of Domi-
nick Ryan's life Looking back at
them he wondered that he had been
so blind to the transformation of his
being which was taking place Great
emotional crises are often not any
more recognized, by the individuals,
than great transitional epQchs are
Known by the nations experiencing
them. Dominiek did not realize that
the most engrossing, compelling pas
son he had ever felt was slowly in
vading him. He did not argue that
he was falling in love with a woman
that he could never own and Of whom
II was sin to think. He did not
argue or think about anything He
was as vessel gradually filling with
elemental forces, and like the vessel
be was passive till some Jar would
shake it and the forces would run
over. Meantime he was held by
determination, mutinous and unrea-
soning as the determination of a child,
to live in the present He had the
feeling of the desert traveller who has
found the oasis. The desert lay be-
hind him, burning and sinister with
the agony of his transit, and the des-
ert lay before him with its horrors TO
be faced, but for the moment he
could lie still and rest and forget by
the fountain under the cool of the
trees.
He did not consciously think OF
Rose. But if she were not there he
was uneasy till she came again. His
secret eXhilaTation at her approach,
the dead Darkness of his lack of her
when she was absent, told him moth
ing. These were the feelings he had.
and they filed him and left no cool
residue of reason wherewith to watch
and guard. He was taken unawares,
SO drearily confident Of lis allegiance
TO his particular private tragedy that
he did not admit the possibility of a
detection. A sense of rest was on him
and he set it down4if he ever thought
of 1t at ALTO the relief of a tempo
rary respite. Poor Dominick, with his
inexperience of sweet things, did not
argue that respite from pain should
be a quiescent, contented condition of
being. far removed from that state of
secret, troubled gladness that thrilled
him at the sound of woman's foot
step.
No situation could have been in
vented better suited for the fostering
of sentiment. His helpless state de-
manded her constant attention. The
attitude of nurse to patient, the So
licitude OF the consoling woman for
the disabled, suffering man. have been,

COLD IN
The HEAD
Is The First Chapter In The History
of Chronic Disease.

A cold in the head is the first chap
ter in the history of disease and death.
This has been SO often repeated that
there are few people indeed who have
not witnessed many examples of 1t.
A cold in the head is rarely severe
enough to confine a vigorous person
to the house. AS a rule, it ends In
recovery without any treatment. This
mas led many people to regard cold
IN the head as of no importance. 1t is
q terrible mistake, however. to pass
Dy cold in the head as a trivial mat
ter: Every case should be treated.
Those who have used Peruna for
such cases will testify unanimously
that a few doses is sufficient to re-
move every yestige Of the cold. How
much better it is to treat a cold in this
way than it is to allow it to go on and
on for weeks, perhaps months, leaving
effects that will never be eradicated.
Yet there are those who neglect to
take Peruna for a cold in the head.
This neglect is due 10 the false notion
that cold in the head is hardly worth
noticing.
A cold in the head is in reality a
case OF acute catarrh. 1t ought to be
called so, in order to awaken people
from their lethargy on this subject. In
a large per cent. of cases cold In the
head will end in chronic catarrh. On
less properly treated with some such
remedy as Peruna, perhaps 80 per
cent. of cases Of cold in the head will
lay the foundation Cor chronic catarrh.
A tablespoonful o. Peruna should be
taken at the very first symptom of
cold in the head. Usually where the
cold is not very severe tablespoonful
of Peruna before each meal and at bed
time is sufficient. 1t may be neces-
sary, however, where the attack is
more serious, to keep strictly in the
house and take a tablespoonful of
Peruna every hour Younger people.
feeble or delicate women. should take
teaspoonful every hour.

Buford had found Miss Cannon one
OF the most amiabls and charming
ladies' he had ever met. end 1t was
therefore a good deal of surprise
tc have her turn upon aim a face of
cold, reproving disagreement. and re-
mark In a voice that matched it:
Il don't agree with you at all. Mr.
Buford. and you seem quite to forget
that Mr.. Ryan has been very sick
and is still in great pain"
3uford was exceedingly abashed. He
would not have offended Miss Cannon
for anything in the world, and 1t
seemed to him that a being so com
pact Of graciousness and considera-
ton would be the first to censure an
exhibition of ill-humor such as young
Ryan had just made. He stammered
an apologize sentence and it did not
add to his comfort to see that she
was not entirely Modified by 1t and
to feel that she exhaled a slight, disap-
proving coldness that put him at a
great distance and made him feel NOR

Our Cook Saws

That in filling a cake pan it is well
to remember that the center of the
cake Is the part which will be the
highest. II the batter is spread aa
much to the sides as possible leaving
a depression in the center, then the
cake when baked will be level.
That a cheap and durable toaster
for gas stove is piece of sheet
iron. Over this is a five-cent fire
toaster can be used without danger
of burning or blackening the bread.
That when baking or scalloping
potatoes, chops can be baked In a pan
in the oven, steak broiled underneath
or pudding or pie cooked at the same
time. 1t saves gas.
