The Due de fremont watched the

He had no idea she had ever seen
Sabron more than once or twice in
her life. He came forward.

with authority, and Julia Redmond
did not dispute him.
In q tone different from the light
and hooking one that he had hitherto
used to the Arab, fremont began to
ask dozen questions severely, and
in his answers to the young French
man, Hammet Abou began to make a
favorable impression on every one
save the Marquise d'Esclignac, who
did not understand him. There was
huge bamboo chair on q dais un-
der a Chinese pagoda, and the Mar
quise d'Esclignac took the chair snd
sat upright as on a throne. Mimi, who
had just been fed, came In tinkling
her little bells and fawned at the

The Mother Instinct.

At the close of his talk before a
Sunday school the bishop invited ques-
tions.
A tiny boy, with @ white, eager
face, at once held up his hand.
Please, sir" said he, why was
Adam never a baby?"
The bishop coughed in doubt as to
what answer to give, but little girl,

Pitchoune. who might have been
considered as one Of the infinitesimal
atoms IN the economy Of the universe
ran over the sands away from his
master. He was an infinitesimal dot
on the deserts face. He was only %

color seemed to blend with the dust
His eyes were dimmed by hunger and
thirst and exhaustion. but there was
the blood Of fighter in him and he
was thoroughbred. Nevertheless
he was running away. It looked very
much like it. There was no one tc
comment ON his treaehery; had there
been, Pitchoune would not have rur

It was not an ordinary sight to see

HIDDEN IMPURITY

Elf American women knew how
much Of our Coffee lies on the ground
for days, before the berries are finally
swept up and harvested, greater care
would be exercised in purchasing
this food. For this Coffee is impure.
But its moldy color is lost in the roast
ing, and the partial decay is concealed
until 1t comes up harsh and bitter in
the cup. This fact is not generally
known to importers. for few of them
have studied conditions existing prior
to the arrival of their ships In port,
So writes f. @. Harwood. And Mr..
Harwood knows. His long experience
in the tropical coffee growing coun-
tries, his deep intimacy with planta-
ton owners, his close study of their
customs, their methods and the
Tricks of their Trade" has acquired
for him a fund of knowledge which
places him far in the leadership Of
coffee connoisseurs, both here and
abroad.
Denison's Coffees are selected by f.
G. Harwood, personally, and 1t is here
that his power in the Coffee Industry
manifests itself to the qualification of
Denison's Brands. His wisdom and
critical discrimination is appreciated
by Coffee Growers the world over, and
their respect gives him first choice of
the worlds finest crops. Thus, only
pure. hand-picked berries find their
way into Denison Coffees. His care
