Then, as though drawn by an ire
sistible power, they advanced, seeing
no one but each other, caring for no
one else, totally unconscious of the
existence of the crowd, speaking no
word, uttering no cry, but coming
nearer and nearer, swifter and swifter,
as though impelled by a fate they had
no thought to resist. And then, in
the center of the cleaning floor they
met, and, wordless still, he took her
in his arms. And when the music
stopped abruptly she called his name,
and he bent and kissed her on the
mouth.

PRESSED HARD.
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When people realize the injurious
effects of coffee and the change in
health that Postum can bring. they are
usually glad to lend their testimony
for the benefit of others.
My mother, since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drfnker,
had been troubled with her heart for a
number of years and complained of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago l was making a
visit to a distant part of the country
and took dinner with one of the
merchants of the place. 1 noticed a
somewhat unusual favour of the cot
fee and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.
Il was so pleased with it that, after,
the meal was over, 1 bought a package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were so well pleased
with it that we discontinued coffee and
used Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for short time, she felt SO
much better than she did prior to its
use. and had little trouble with her
heart, and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was well and
hearty.

self and the other members of the fam

When Arson Rabuck, fourteen years

that she would give up for

rather unsteadily, and at the look on
his face she, too, sprang up, half-fright-
ened, to escape him. But retreat was
useless, and then, smothered in his
mighty arms, Pedro received her first
kiss.
1t was an hour later that they crept
down the dark stairway and swung the
door open to the faint glow of coming
day. When will you come back,

The morning was black and chill,
but Leigh stood quite motionless long
after she had passed from sight; stood
motionless until the housetops famed

though he could already scent the I'M

CHAPTER Xxx.
The Beginning.

ne Beginning.
BY the light of a single candle Pedro
was packing a little knapsack with
the meager belongings that his so
journ in the old studio had brought
together. He went about the task
with reluctance, but with the weary
resignation of those who receive an
unalterable decree from fate, and
recognize it as such.
One by one his little personal things
were tucked away in the ancient trav-
eler's kit-a book or two, some linen,
brushes, a gay necktie, and a minia-
ture plaster cast of Leigh's sleeping
bear
When these had been put in, and
still a little room remained, he hest
tated a moment, and then. going to
the heap of sketches and small can
vases with which the rack was filed.
deliberated among them for a while;
taking up first this one and then that,
with loving hands, and throwing each
in turn back upon the shelf from
whence it came. Finally a sorrowful
shake of the head dismissed them all.
"Of what use to take any?" said
Pedro aloud. But nevertheless. he
stood brooding over them for quite
time.
BY the fire lay Mr. Jones, blinking
sympathetically. With a sigh Pedro
turned at last from these children of
his mind. and set about arranging the
two rooms-the studio and bedroom
exactly as he had found them.
In the first place there were the pic
tures-his pictures. From the big
easel the Madonna Lady smiled
wanly upon her young creator-a
beautiful crude, unfinished thing, its
possibilities reckoning enticingly
from behind the haze of its incom-
pleteness. Then there were the 9TH
ers. Significantly Pedro glanced from
them in the direction of the fireplace,
and heaved another sigh. No, that
was impossible; infanticide, 1t could
not be done. Yet, who would care for
them. Leigh? Perhaps. Pill
ing them high. and topping them with
the ever-smiling portrait of Iris. he
stacked them neatly, near the door,
and writing For A. l. Leigh" on
folded bit of paper. left this message
atop the heap.
Next, he restored the furniture to its
original arrangement as nearly as he
could remember it, and bringing forth
Hills canvases from the cubby in
which most of them had been repos-
ing. set them around, even as he had
found them, down to putting the I'M
finished portrait of the banker upon
the throne from which the Madonna
had Just been taken When this was
done, the studio took on such an I'M
familiar atmosphere that lump arose
in Pedro's throat 1t seemed such a
! concrete representation of how COM
pletely his claim here had ended,
With apparent irreyerence he sud
denly went over and kne1t beside the
bear. taking the creatures head be-
tween his hands. while tears started
to his eyes
Poor fellow. Poor. Mr. Jones,~
said Pedro huskily, and then, having
patted Mr.. Jones upon the nose sew

The bedroom came next in order.

THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, December 2S.-Already
We are accustomed to seeing the small
picturesque hats adapted from those
worn by the allied soldiers. There was
no doubt from the beginning that the
milliners would, take instant advan-
tage of the Inspiration offered by the
millions of men who came from all
parts of. the earth to fight on the battle
line whose length and horror belong
to Mars. not earth.
When February comes. and the open
ings have taken place in Paris, as
each is now scheduled to do unless the
Germans contrive to make another
hawk-like swoop upon Gen. Gallieni,
we shall probably see the entire ap-
parel of women given over to military
lines and furnishings; but today the
milliners have the field.
Castle Innovations.
Mrs. Vernon Castle was the first
celebrity to introduce yeritable
scotch cap on the avenue. This pic
turesque young dancer has a host of
fads and fancies attached to her name,
but there is no doubt that she is IN
tensely interested in the exploitation
of new fashions and has followed the
French way of bringing the public at
tentfon to some new thing by public
wearing of 1t. in which art she is as eX-
pert as in her dancing.
She was the first to wear the sleek
coiffure with the long fiat curls twist
ed in front of her ears. She also start
ed the scoop hat, the short killed skirt,
the high Logging boot, the dancing
slipper with the wide strap across the
instep. the Italian veil. which merely
masked the eyes and was attached to
the brim of the hat. This winter she
started the fashion of the Scotch cap.
Those who could not wear the verit-
able shape have. at least, recognized
Its fashion by adopting small hats that
have two tiny streamerS at the back
The milliners adore these streamerS
and they are attaching them to every
