Harrowby promised, and they parted. In
the lobby below Minot met Jack Paddock.
Paddock looked drawn and worried.
"Working up my stuff for the dinner the
little Lismore lady is giving to the bridal
party tomorrow night, he coniided. Say,

L " progressed as a Sunday should, IN
peace. Early in the afternoon Harrowby
hunted Alinot up and announced that his
friend would arrive Monday noon, and that
the AIcyrickS had agreed to take no definite
step pending his arrival.
Shortly after six o'clock a delayed tele-
gram was delivered to Minot. 1t was from
Thackcr, and it read

NIinot whistled. Here was a new twist
for the drama to take.
At about the same time that Nlinot re-
ceived his message a similar slip Of yellow
paper was put into the hands Of Lord Har
rowbv. Three times he read it, his eyes
staring. his cheeks flushed.
Then he fled to his rooms. The elevator
was not quick enough: he sped up the stairs.

travelling bag and began to pack like a mad
man.

HOW TO AVOID
DOCTOR BILLS
CHealth Notes)

Practically all sickness can be
traced to impurities in the blood
which accumulate during the winter
months. If old and young alike would
follow the old-tfme policy Of taking a
good blood-tonic each spring, there
would be much less fever and sick
ness and, as result, big saving of
doctor bills.
"The best blood purifying tonic
known can be made at home at little
expense, by dissolving in Il pint al
cohol, II cup sugar and one ounce
kardene, then adding hot water to
make a quart This makes enough
for whole family and a tablespoon
full taken before meals soon makes

Nursing is a profession too often re-
9arded as one in which those engaged
decline to do anything that might be
regarded as actual work except ear
ing for the sick. The idea may be
borne out in some isolated instances,
but there are plenty OF nurses whose
experiences may safely be used to con
trovert that belief as a general propo-
sition. Women in this profession face
all sorts OF problems and do all kinds
of work that is not taught in the best
regulated hospital training schools.
