"Who do you think is coming tt

Henry?" asked little Mrs. Emory OF
her husband. "The Countess Karolyi.'
"Well, let her carol all she wants
to-" said Henry Emory heartlessly
Never heard of her anyway. Who is
she?"
Don't be flippant, Henry! You

Of our ladies' club, and I got her to

looking after the Hungarian butler
who was at that moment leaving the
dining room.
Everybody in Mrs. Emory's circle
had read of the countess, who had run
away from homo as girl and found
employment as a woman writer in
London; how she had returned toTpeo-
pie who believed her dead, years af
ter, famous; of her marriage after all
to the elderly count to escape whom
she had first left home. Mrs. Emory
felt that her visit would be a social
triumph.
"You must be on your very best be-
havior tomorrow, John," she said to
the butler.
John Lisz. her Hungarian butler,
was a treasure. She had had him
nearly a year, and had never had q
better or more distinguished looking
servant. He was about the same age
as the countess trifle over 80, per.

so well bred that she had romantically
speculated whether he was not an

In many instances no sign of lower

price figures. Factors in staple drugs
affected by the war are, they insist,

Now a Clay Coffin.

Human clay can now be buried in
clay casket if the latest innovation
in undertaking supplies becomes pop
ular. The clay coffin is said to be
dust, vermin and waterproof, and
therefore more durable and satisfac-
tory than any wooden casket. 1t is
supplied with metal handles and cloth
Innings and pane of glass is set
in the lid, but both the lid and the
casket are entirely of clay nodded
each in one piece. The sharp cor
ners are overcome in the clay coffin
and it can be finished to simulate
any desired material in either black,
white or gray. If the clay coffin
reaches commercial demand it can be
produced at moderate cost.

NO MORE WEAK KIDNEYS.

New Specific Soon to be Brssght

/Denr Mr.. Editor: lately, / am
told and beg to inform your readers,
that the famous DR.. Pierce, of whose
medicines and Surgical Institution in
Buffalo, New York, we have heard for
years, has added to his popularity by
asserting to put before the American
people, "An-Uric." This prescription
is adapted especially for kidney COM
plants and diseases arising from dis
orders of the kidneys and bladder, such
as backache, weak back, rheumatism,
dropsy, congestion of the kidneys, in
fammation of the bladder, scalding
urine and urinary troubles. The ply
scians and specialists at DR.. Pierce s
great Institution have thoroughly tested
this prescription and have been with
one accord successful in eradicating
these troubles, and in most cases abso-
lutely curing the diseased kidneys.
Patients having once used vAn-Uric +"
at the Institution have repeatedly sent
back for more. Such a demand has
decided to put vAn-Uric" " in the drug
stores of this country, in a ready-to-
use form. 1t will be their own fault
if the public does not take advantage
of this wonderful remedy.

up beneath her cheeks.
"Is it Jan Lisz of Buda?" she asked.
Eyes, know you now, my friend"
John Lisz's hand was steady as a
rock as he took the trembling hand
which the countess extended toward
him and raised it to his lips. That
action was remembered afterward.
Then, before the scene had fully i'm

I was here. And the count, your hus-

The countess looked at him very
strangely. II thought you knew. He

Then, as if each had said too much,
they joined in the general converse

eyes grew wider every moment. "Cav-

It was at the moment of their part
ing, when, after a low talk in the
corner, John bowed again over the
countess hand, that the look in their
eyes told her everything.
Half an hour later she found John
in the kitchen putting away the wine.
The old butler had gone; John was in
his accustomed suit once more.
