e ANURICl"
THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY in CHEMISTRY

This is q recent discovery of Doctor
Pierce, who is head of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at Doctor Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric acid
that can be compared to it. For those
easily recognized symptoms of infam-
nation as backache, scalding urine
and frequent urination, as well as sedi-
ment in the urine, or if uric acid in the
blood has caused rheumatism, it is
simply wonderful how surely 0Anuric"
acts. The best of results are always
obtained in cases of acute rheumatism
in the joints, in gravel and govt, and
invariably the pains and stiffness which
so frequently and persistently accom-
pany the disease rapidly disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and
simply ask for 50-cent package of
cAnuric," manufactured by DR.. Pierce,
or even write Doctor Pierce for free
sample. If you suspect kidney or blad-
der trouble, send him sample of your
water and describe symptoms. Doctor
Pierce's chemist will examine it, then
DR.. Pierce will report to you, without
fee or charge.
NOTE - French scientists affirm that
g Anuric" is thirty seven times more
active than lithia in eliminating uric
acid, and is harmless but reliable
chemical compound that may be safely
given to children, but should be used
only by grown-ups who actually wish to
restore their kidneys to perfect health,
by conscientiously using one box-or
more in extreme cases - as "Anuricn
thanks to Doctor Pierce's achievement)
is by far the most perfect kidney and
bladder corrector obtainable.

once said, "It's the caring that seems to
make the trouble" That was the trouble
with the Warrens. How Marion cared
from morning till night with her whole
heart and soul in a flutter-for Chic and
the children. In different way, Marjory
supposed, Teddy cared. This was the one
thing that made him so impossible. In
another way, Peter Noyes cared.
She gave quick start as she thought
of Peter Noyes She turned away from
the mirror as if-as if ashamed. She
sprang to her feet, with an odd, tense ex-
preston about her mouth. 1t was as if
she were looking into his dark, earnest
eyes. Peter had always been so intensely
in earnest about everything. In college
he had worked himself thin to lead his
class. In the law school he had graduated
among the first five, though he came out
almost half blind. His record, however,
had won for him place with leading
law firm in New York. He had made love
to her with his lips set as if love were
some great responsibility. He had talked
of duty and the JOY of sacrifice until she
had run away from him.
Not daring to look in the mirror again,
she called Marie to adjust her hat and veil

should have gone into garden for the
ceremony instead of into the subdued
light of the chapel. Then, too, it would
have been much better had the Rev
Alexander Gordon been younger. He
was gentle, saintly-looking man of forty
but enthusiastically serious. He had
lived long in Paris, but instead of learn
ing to be gay he had become like those
sad-faced priests at Notre Dame. Per-
haps if he had understood better the pres
ent circumstances he would have entered
into the occasion instead of remaining so
very solemn.
AS Marjory shook hands with him she
lost her bright color. Then, too, he had
voice that made her think again of Peter
Noyes. In sudden terror she clung to
Monte's arm, and during the brief cere
mony gave her responses in a whisper.
Peter Noyes himself could not have
made of this journey to the chapel
more trying ordeal. A ring was slipped
upon the third finger of her left hand.
A short prayer followed, and an earnest

her fortune, is having her first taste of free
dom. Its enjoyment is marred by offers OF
marriage, the most troublesome offender be-
ing Teddy Hamilton, whom she met on her
last trip across. Monte, calling on her one
morning, finds Marjory frightened at Ted
dy's threat to kill himself if she refuses him.
Teddy arrives while they are talking, and is
shown into the pension sitting-room down
stairs. Monte wishes he were Marjorys
brother, SO he would have the right to settle
Teddy. He suddenly thinks of solution
of the problem, and makes his suggestion
to Marjory-to marry him for protection
against unwelcome attention and to be his
cdmdrdde de u0ydge simply. Marjory accepts
the strange proposal. Monte then goes to
Teddy and announces their engagement;
The crazed boy whips out a revolver and
shoots, wounding Monte's right shoulder.
Marjory, as Montes f1ancee, decides it is her
duty to nurse him. and, with her maid, takes
up quarters in his hotel. Monte's splendid
constitution pulls him through in few
weeks, and Marjory decides to leave Paris.
But Monte, grown used to her attention
and companionship, suggests their immedi-
ate marriage. While they are discussing
this, Marjory is called to the telephone. 1t
is Teddy Hamilton, who says he does not
believe in her engagement. With her hand
over the mouth-piece, she repeats this to
Monte. Seeing her terror at Teddy's voice,
Monte persuades her to marry him the next
day. and himself announces the fact to Teddy.

IA TARJORY was to be married
M on June eighteenth, at eleven
VI o'clock, in the chapel of the
1V l. English Conversational Church.


At ten o'clock of that day she was in her
room before the mirror, trying to account
for her heightened color. Marie had just
left her in despair and bewilderment,
after trying to make her look as bridelike
as possible when she did not wish to look
bridelike. Marie had wished to do her
hair in some absurd new fashion.
"But, Marie she had explained, "no-
thing is to be changed. Therefore why
should change my appearance?
"Mademoiselle bride-and nothing
changed?" Marie had cried.
Nothing about me; nothing about
Mr.. Covington. We are merely to be
married, that is alias matter of con-
venience."
"Mademoiselle will see," Marie had
answered graphically.
"You will see yourself, Marjory had
laughed.
Eth bien! something was changed al
ready, as she had only to look in the mir
ror to observe. There was deep flush
upon her cheeks and her eyes did not look
quite natural. She saw, and seeing only
made it worse. Manifestly it was absurd
of her to become excited now over mat
UeT UudU u W UllS pOlHG sue ildQ Deen aDle.
to handle so reasonably. 1t was scarcely
loyal to Monte. He had right to expect
her to be more sensible.
HE had put it well last night when he
had remarked that for her to go to
chapel to be married was no more serious
than to go to an embassy for passport.
She was merely to share with him the
freedom that was his as birthright of his
sex. In no other respect whatever was
she to be under any obligations to him.
With ample means of her own, he was
simply giving her an opportunity to enjoy
them unmolested-a privilege which the
world denied her as long as she remained
unmarried.
Therefore it seemed scarcely decent for
Marie to speak of her as bride. Perhaps
that accounted for the color. No senti-
ment was involved here. This was what
made the arrangement possible. Senti-
ment involved caring; and, as Monte had
