vealing in softened outline the beauty
of her features, the fiossy brightness
of her hair. She was in evening dress,
light shawl draping her shoulders.
An instant she paused in uncertainty,
striving to distinguish his face; then
stepped impulsively forward, and held
out her hands.

Won't you even shake hands with

"Why should you say that?" re.

THAT, perhaps, is why say it, Mrs
Dupont If my memory serves, you
would not be inclined to leave such

you had some special object in view.
If you will inform me what 1t is, we

MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Mental Labol
Since Leaving OFF Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform, day aft
er day, have found better capacity
and greater endurance by using Post
um instead of coffee. An Ills. Woman
writes:
81 had drank coffee for about twenty
years, and finally had what the doctor
called coffee heart l was nervous
and extremely respondent; had little
mental or physical strength left, had
kidney trouble and constipation.
"The first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Postum
was the natural action Of the kidneys
and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
"Then became less Respondent, and
the desire to be active again showed
proof of renewed physical and mental
strength.
81 am steadily gaining in physical
strength and brain power. l formerly
did mental work and had to give 1t up
on account of coffee, but since using
Postum am doing hard mental labor
with less fatigue than ever before"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek. Mich.
Postum now comes In new concen-
trated form called Instant Postum. It
is regular Postum, so processed at the
factory that only the soluble portions
are retained.
A spoonful Of Instant Postum with
hot water, and sugar and cream to
taste, produce Instantly q delicious
beverage.

GROWTH OF GERMAN CITIES
They Are the Product of the Last Gen.
GRAFTON and Are Carefully
Developed.

The German city, like our own, is
the product of the last generation.
Only its location, it's traditions, its
royal palaces and gardens are old.
Dusseldorf had but 10000 people in
1871. 1t now has 100000. Frankfort
has grown from $4,000 in 1871 to 1885,
600 in 1905. Berlin was a capital city
of but 100000 in 1870; today it con-
tains 2,O99,000 people. There are 80
cities in Germany with population
in excess of 100000 people. They con-
tain 100000 people, or 20 per cent.
OF the population, while the total
urban population equals 40 per cent.
OF the total. The railway and the fac
tory have created the German city as
they have our own. But Germany over
sees her growing cities as an architect
does a structure. The liberty of the
individual is not permitted to become
license to the detriment Of the COM
munity.
Streets, boulevards, parks, open
spaces and sites for public buildings
and schoolhouses are laid out far in
advance of the city's growth. Maps Of
wide stretches Of open country, still
used as pasture land, may be seen in
the city hall, upon which are indicated
the streets, parks and building sites
all far beyond the city limits. To
this plan the owner must conform.
When he places the land upon the
market it must be done in harmony
with the city's plan. The orderly de-
velopment of the municipality is the
first consideration. There can be no
wildcat speculation, no cheap and mar
row streets, no bodybuilding. Every
thing must be done as the city Wills
By this means the slums and the tene-
ment are to be exterminated. In Co
logne, for instance, rs per cent. of the
land must be left vacant in the bust
ness section, while the building must
not exceed four stories in height.

DESIGNED HER OWN ROOM
How One Girl Carried Out Ideas as to
the Furnishing and Col
orinq.

Her brown study was the name Q
girl gave to a little room she had
made into a snuggery of her own.
where she could read and work and
have cozy chats with her friends. 1t
was the brown study because brown
was the prevailing color, enlivened
with yellow. This girl did most Of the
work herself. tinting the walls a soft
yellow tan, with a picture molding
painted cream color near the ceiling.
The floor was stained slightly dark
er shade than the walls, and on 1t were
laid rag rugs Of browns, tans and yel
lows. The girl braided these rugs
from white material she had dyed her
self 80 that they would be just the
shades she wished.
So far 1t was all plain brown, cream
and buff. Now for variety and color
she chose a lowered cretonne with =
design Of little yellow roses. With
this she made slip cover for little
low rocker, a valance for the top Of
her window with side curtains just to
the sill, curtain run on brass rod
instead of her cupboard door which
she had taken off, and slip cover for
her lounge She preferred the slip
covers for her chair and sofa because
they could be sent to the wash occa-
sionally, so keeping her room fresh
and bright. She framed an oblong mir
ror In the yellow rose cretonne, and
painted a bureau, small kitchen
table, and two kitchen chairs in cream
colored paint. On the table she placed
her blotter with its dullbrown cor
ners and over the table hung her book
shelves, we'll filed. Then she felt she
had a room to enjoy.

DO you think you can deceive me
by such play-acting?" she asked eager
iy. you are no man of wood. Tell
me, is there nothing you care to ask
me, after-after all these years?"
Hamlin lifted his eyes and looked at
her, stirred into sudden interest by
the almost caressing sound of the soft
voice.
YES" he said slowly, there are
some things should like to know. If
thought you would answer frankly"

Then why ale you Mrs. Dupont, in
stead Of Mrs. lie Fevre?"
Then my guess is true, and you are
not so devoid CT curiosity" she
laughed. MY answer? Why, it is
simplicity itself-because l was never
Mrs. LIE Fevre, but am rightfully Mrs.

do you mean you we're never mar
ried to LIE Fevre?"
What else could l mean"
Then he lied"
She shrugged her white shoulders.
That would not surprise me in the
least. Twas a characteristic Of the
man you lad ample reason to know.
How came you to believe so easily?"
Believe? What else could be-
lieve? Everything served to substan-
tiate his boast l was in disgrace,

was untrue, false; it was penned I'M
der compulsion. l wrote you again,
later, but you had gone, disappeared
utterly. l wanted to explain, but your
own people even did not know where
you were-do not know yet"
He leaned his body against the rail,
and looked at her in the dim light.
Her face retained much Of its girlish
attractiveness, yet its undoubted
charms no longer held the man cap
tive. He smiled coldly.
THE explanation comes somewhat
late" he replied deliberately. When
it might have served me it was not

tically forgotten. l came at your re-
quest, and presume you had reason.

He was still talking when Hamlin

Every garden owner having the
space, surroundings permitting, should
keep a compost heap. Into this may
go all refuse of an organic nature, also
wood ashes, all old potting soil, etc. In
rural districts these heaps should re

Holda Literature cheaplx.

The curious frugality of a wealthy
amateur painter at Paris is told in
the following story: A friend Of his
was one day visiting his collection Of
paintings. The friend duly admired
the paintings of Boucher, Vatican,
Goya and others, for which the col
lector had paid from $4,000 to $780,.

into literature, and the visitor asked
his host whether he had not yet read
the latest work Of famous author
which had just been published. "Oh.
no." replied the art collector. Il am
waiting until it appears in a cheap
edition" He is quite willing to pay
$4,000 for an old painting, but he OBJ

Fire Without Elame-

An English engineer named Bode
has invented way to have fire with
out flame. His apparatus consists OF
a porous plate or mass Of fire-resist-
ing fragments, within which he mixes
infiammable gas and air in the right
proportions
When the gas is first turned on and
lighted 1t burns with a fame at the
surface of the plate. When the air is
turned on the fame disappears, but
the heat increases. A temperature Of
5000 degrees is claimed.
Just what use of this invention can
be made is yet question.

CHAPTER XVI.
The MEETING,


Hamlln's first impulse was to ignore
the note, trusting his position In the
ranks would be sufficient barrier to
prevent any chance meeting, and be-
lleving his stay at that garrison would
be only brief one. Sheridan was evil
IDENTIFY preparing for an early offensive
campaign, and 1t was rumored on all
sides that the Seventh Cavalry had
been selected for active field service.
Indeed. the urgent orders for the con.
solidation OF the regiment from scat.
tered posts must mean this. Any day
might bring orders, and he could
easily avoid this Mrs. Dupont until
then. Except for a faint curiosity, the
Sergeant felt no inclination to meet
the woman. Whatever influence she
might have once exercised over him
had been thoroughly overcome BY
years and absence. Even the unex.
pected sight of her again-seemingly
as beautiful as ever-had failed to
awaken the spell of the past. 1t was
almost with thrill of delight that
Hamlin realized this-that he was in
truth utterly free of her influence.
There had been. times when he had
anticipated such possible meeting
with dread; when he had doubted his
own heart, the strength of his will to
resist. But now he knew he stood alb
solutely independent and could laugh
at her wiles. She who had once been
all--trusted, loved, worshipped with
all the mad fervor of youth--had be

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED.

by local applications, they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inaamed condition OF the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when 1t is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, nearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an iniamed condition of the

Most of the accidents caused from
