 They paused at the parapet sur rounding the tomb. There Grenadier Mere looked down at the great stone ] coffin, while Latour-Michel looked up seeing. doubtless. with his sightless | eyes, what he had seen in the days of his youth. And do you doubt that his spirit still lives?" the blind man asked.
 "No." the grenadier answered. Just now, when was repeating his words it was as if he lived. And listen, adju

SOME HARD KNOCKS Woman Gets Rid Of Coffee Habit"

The injurious action of coffee on the hearts of many persons is we'll known by physicians to be caused by caffeine. This Is the drug found by chemists in coffee and tea.
 A woman suffered long time with severe heart trouble and finally her doctor told her she must give up cof- fee, as that was the principal cause of the trouble. She writes:
 My heart was so weak it could not do its work properly. My husband would sometimes have to carry me from the table, and it would seem that I would never breathe again.
 "The doctor told me that coffee was causing the weakness of my heart He could not give it up until I was down in bed with nervous prostration.
 For eleven weeks I lay there and suffered. Finally husband brought home some Postum and I quit coffee and started new and right.

 "Postum has done much for me and I would not go back to coffee again. for I believe it would kill me if kept at It. Postum must be prepared ac. cording to directions on pkg, then it has a rich flavor and with cream is fine"

half-hour than little Robbie could think up in day.
 He was so thoughtful" mother whispered. speaking at last to the strong man beside her. Do you re- member how he brought home those mint candies because he knew l was fond of them? And how he got up in the middle of the night to oil his squeaky door for fear the winds blow ing it might keep me awake? Doesn't it seem as though anything under all the heavens would be easier to bear than suspense like this?"
 Robbie. thinking only of the fact that mother must not be allowed to worry. looked about for aid at this mo- ment. Mary had gone back to the window-seat and Lionel had disap- peared, so, as father did nothing but stroke his wife's hand, his face drawn and queer. Robbie stepped bravely into the breach.
 Mother" he said shakily, you re- member wunst swallered brass bell of my reins? Well, now, mother. it's beginning to hurt something awful right round here"
 Boobies hand roved indefinitely, un- certainly over the region he supposed to cover his little stomach, but his heroic announcement did not have the desired effect. Instead of rising. hor- ror-sticken. to save him, his mother most unexpectedly seized him and gathered him up like a very tiny boy into her lap. where he was still sitting. disgracefully babied, when Lionel ex- citedly burst in.
 "I went over to the drug store, " Lionel cried, with thrill in his voice which they all felt. Tt isn't Billy, 1t isn't Billy! It was a man named Smith. and he lives in St. Louis, and found out by telephoning the Tribune. And 1t isn't Billy. it isn't Billy! I was afraid to telephone from here because it might have been. I knew there wasn't anything to worry about. Oh, mother it isn't Billy"
 Mothers are very queer things, very queer. Here was their mother. who had been silent for thirty hours or SO just sewing on Boobies new waist all the time they didn't know whether it | was Billy or not. and then, when they knew it was a fellow named Smith she just put her head down on fathers shoulder and cried pitifully. And all father did was to pat her on the back and say: There, dear, there!" while two great tears rolled down bis own cheeks unheeded.
 Lionel knelt beside her and put his arms around her as best he could with
 Robbie in the way, and Mary crouched down on the other side, as near as she could. her face turned away from him

Mary Drew a Quick Breath.

Mary was crying. too! Perhaps they didn't quite understand.
 "I said il was not Billy" he repeat. ed. There isn't any mistake, either. I made 'em give me the managing edi- tor. and he read the cablegram to me. He was awful nice. He said his broth CTS down there, too. I thought you'd say Thank God.' or something"
 Mother put her hand on Lioners shoulder and patted it gently. 'I do say Thank God.' dear" she said through her tears. But we must not forget in our own great gladness that it was somebody's boy"
 Lionel sat flat on the floor. his long length across the rug, and gazed straight ahead. Shorn of its fife and drum, its trumpet and shining banner, stripped of its might and power, its charm and triumph and glory, he tasted war.

Curiosity of Wives.

Curiosity is most destructive to hap. piness. Eve started the fashion thou. sands of years ago and Eyes daugh. ters have followed it ever since. It is not unusual to hear of the woman who escorts her husband home from his office. She has a perfectly insane curiosity regarding all his actions. so makes a habit of dropping in on him at unexpected moments. She will veri. fy every word or excuse the poor soul says. She will even read his core. spondence. This is inexcusable. Any man would justly resent such intru sion. and while a wife's place is a sacred one, an honorable mans private affairs are just as sacred.

He was mere white shadow of . man in a rolling chair, but he still carried with him an aroma of power He was the man who had seen Napoleon!
 As for the man who pushed Latour' Michel along with touching care, he also was bound up in the NapoleoniC tradition.
 This was Grenadier Mere-the baby of the company. a man of seventy-hve or so. with a shaven, expressive face kindling eyes. a readiness to smile They called him Cou-d Argent, or Sil verneck. from the way that cunning surgeons had made bim presentable after Gravelotte; and they say that he had smiled while the surgeons were doing it. He was that kind-to smile for hatred. or pain, or grief.
 But the grenadier had been an actor in his day. down near Marseilles and once. just before the outbreak oi the Franco Prussian war. he had been cast for the role of Napoleon in a cer tain military drama, which had failed as the greater drama unrolled. That was his claim to Napoleonic glory. The man who had seen Napoleon and the man who had impersonated him joined the group.
