Durham slept very little that night. His soul was lowering between joy and anxiety. Almost he was inclined to find some way to send her word about the man he had seen lingering about the place, and yet perhaps it was foolish. He had doubtless been to call on the cook, and there might be no connection whatever between what Dunham had heard and seen and the lonely girl.
 Next day, with careful hands the girl made herself neat and trim with a few materials she had at hand. She gathered her little hoard of money to take with her. and cast one look back over the oheerless room, with a great longing to bid it farewell forever. and 60 back to the world where she be- longed; yet she realized that it was quiet refuge for her from the world that she must hereafter face. Then she closed her door, went down the stairs and out into the street, like any other servant on her afternoon out,
 away to meet whatever crisis

She would not accept it, of course, but it would be a comfort to know that some one cared. She longed mex pressibly for this interview, just be- cause he had been kind and because he belonged to that world from which secret. He had true eyes. She did not notice soft, padded feet that came wobbling down the street after her, and she only drew little further out toward the curbing when blear-eyed, red face peered into hers as she stood waiting for the car, She did not mo- tice the shabby man who boarded the car after she was seated.
 Tryon Durham stood in the great stone doorway, watching keenly the passing throng, He saw the girl at once as she got out of the car, but he he did not notice the man iii the bag gy coat, who numbered after her and watched with wondering scrutiny as Durham came forward, lifted his hat, and took her hand respectfully. Here was an element he did not understand. He stood staring, puzzled, as they dis appeared into the great building; then he planted himself in a convenient

His tone was so intense that she could not interrupt him; she could only sit and listen In wonder half trembling, to the low-spoken torrent of feeling that he expressed. She tried to protest, but the look in his face stopped her. He went on with an earnestness that would not be turned aside from it's purpose.
 q came to Chicago that I might search for you. I could not stand the suspense any longer, have been look ing for you in every way 1 could think of. without openly searching, for that I dared not do lest I might jeopardize your safety. I was almost in despair when 1 went to dine with MT. Phillips last evening 1 felt could not go home without knowing at least that you were safe and now that I have found you, I cannot leave you until I know at least that you have no further need for help"
 She summoned her courage now, and spoke in voice full of feeling.
 "Oh, you must not feel that way. You helped me just when I did not know what to do, and put me in the way of helping myself. I shall never cease to thank you for your kindness to an utter stranger. And now I am doing very we'll" She tried to smile, but the tears came unbidden instead.
 You poor chold!" His tone was fu0 of something deeper than compass sion. and his eyes spoke volumes Do you suppose I think you are doing well when l see you wearing the garb of meniel and working for people to whom you are far superior-people who by all the rights of education and refinement ought to be in the kitchen serving you?"
 Tt was the safest thing 1 could do, and really the only thing I could get to do at once,' she tried to explain. I'm doing it better every day"

Dunham placed two chairs in the far corner of the inner parlor. where they were practically alone, save for an occasional passer through the hall He put the girl into the most comfortable one, and then went to draw down the shade, to shut a sharp ray of afternoon sunlight from her eyes. She sat there and looked down upon her shabby shoes, her cheap gloves her coarse garments, and hon. ored him for the honor he was giving her in this attire. She had learned by sharp experience that such respect to one In her station was not common. AS he came back he stood a moment looking down upon her. She saw his eye rest with recognition upon the hat she wore, and her pale cheeks turned pink

 Overnight.

No one knows better than the skilled druggist the dangerous charac- ter of most cough and cold prepara- tions. To produce results these rem edies must contain some form of mar cotic or some one of the coal tar products. These drugs are injurious to the stomach, especially to the deli cate stomachs of the little children.
 Druggists have long sought for some direct method of reaching cold troubles-for some form of vapor treatment that could be inhaled direct to the lungs and air passages.
 In little North Carolina town a druggist discovered how to combine Thymol, Eucalyptol, Menthol, Cam phor, Oil of Pine, etc, in the form of a salve so that when applied to the chest and throat the heat of the body would release these volatile products in the form of vapors.
 These vapors are inhaled all night long, at the same time the preparation is absorbed through the skin taking out the soreness and tightness. The effect for all cold troubles is remark able, no matter whether head colds or deep chest colds. For croup posi- tive relief is assured in fifteen min
