ing, and that royal gunner shot
him accidentally, and, by way of
compensation, the sum of $1,000
per annum was granted perpet-
ually. Although the govern
ment of France has passed from
monarchy to empire, and empire
to republic, and back again sew
eral times since, that pension is
still paid.
We also have a link with an in
teresting past reminiscent of
Dickens and Little Dorrit in the
bailiff of the Marshalsea court,
who still receives modest pen
sion of $3.50 as compensation for
the abolition of his office some IS
years ago. Two of our great sea
lords left pensions to their de-
scendants, which nobody be-
grudges them. Rodney's heirs
still draw $4,000 a year. whilst
the representative of the mighty
Nelson still gets $25, ZOO per an
mum from the State. Thus.
since the battle of Trafalgar the
nation has paid considerably
more than $2,5OO,0O0. Yet a
Nelson is cheap at the price.

She viii
Recover

So her doctor said. Her
friends and neighbors felt
sure OF it too. They have
used Peruna themselves
and know of its merits.
That old cough that had
worried her for years and
years, for which she had
taken all sorts of cough
medicines, has disappeared.
Peruna is doing the work.
She will recover. Indeed,
she has recovered.
Her name is Mrs. William
Hohmann, 2764 Lincoln Ave,
Chicago, Ills. She had suffered
with catarrh of the bronchial
tubes and had a terrible cough
ever since a child As she got
older she grew worse. She
coughed both winter and sum-
mer. Had to sit up at night.
Could not sleep. But all that
has left me now. Peruna has
cured me-"
There are others, and there
is a reason.

He seemed rather pleased that she was
showing so much interest.

"Then l should call it anything but an

"That's because you don't understand.

mind to do with that money. What you
have to do"
"Please don't go into details, DON" she
interrupted. "You know wouldn't UNI

"Well, until l get my ten thousand.
"But l thought you were planning to
have that by next fall at the latest"
"I'm going to try" he answered. "I'm
going to try hard. But, somehow, it
doesn't look as easy as it did before

has to know before he's worth all that
money"
"lm sure | don't find ten thousand to

ulantly. "You don't realize it., but you
are. It's making you different-and |

She fell back upon a straight appeal

she went on, "but I'll admit that can't be
helped. I'll give up that much of you.
But after dinner l claim you. You're
mine after dinner, Dom"
She was very tender and beautiful in
this mood. When he saw her like this,
nothing else seemed to matter. There
was no downtown or uptown; there was
only she. There was nothing to do but
stoop and kiss her eager lips. Which is
exactly what he did.
For moment she allowed it, and then
with an excited laugh freed herself.
"Please to give me one of your cards,
Don, she asked.
He handed her card, and she wrote
upon it this:

Continued from page 8

She was not often goaded into as intimate
confession as this.
at isn't worth repeating, she answered
uneasily.
"You said you hated yourself some
times"
"The steak is very, very good" she an
swered, smiling.
"Then you aren't hating yourself now?"
mo, no." she replied quickly. "It's
only when get serious and-please don't
let's be serious"
The rest of the dinner was very salts
factory, for he left her nothing to do but
sit back and enjoy herself. And he made
her laugh, sharing with him his laughter.
1t was half past ten when they arose
and went out upon the street. And there
she kept right on forgetting. 1t was not
until she stood in her room, half I'M
dressed, that she remembered she had not
told Pendleton that tonight was posi-
lively to bring to an end this impossible
friendship.
WITH the approach of the holiday
season, when pretty nearly every one
comes back to town, Frances found her
engagements multiplying so rapidly that
it required good deal of tact and not a
little arithmetic to keep them from con-
flicting. In this emergency, when she
really needed Don, not only was he of no
practical help, but he further embarrassed
her by announcing blanket refusal of all
afternoon engagements. This placed her in
the embarrassing position of being obliged
to 60 alone and then apologize for him.
poor Don is in business now," was her
stock explanation.
She was irritated with Don for having
placed her in this position. In return for
having surrendered to him certain privi-
leges, she had expected him to fulfil GER
tain obligations. If she had promised to
allow him to serve exclusively as her social
partner, then he should have been at all
times available He had no right to leave
her social widow-even when he could
not help it, As far as the afternoons were
concerned, the poor boy could not help
it-she knew that; but, even so, why
should her winter be broken up by what
some one else could not help?
She had given her consent to Don,
not to business man. AS Don he had
been delightful. No girl could ask to have
a more attentive and thoughtful fiance
than he had been. He allowed her to
make all his engagements for him, and he
never failed her. He was the only man she
knew who could sit through a tea without
appearing either silly or bored. And he
was nice-but not too nice-to all her
girl friends. so that most of them We're
jealous of her. Decidedly, she had had
nothing to complain Of
And she had not complained, even
when he announced that he was penniless.
This did not affect her feeling toward Don
himself. 1t was something of a nuisance,
but, after all, matter of no great conse-
uuence. She had no doubt he could make
all the money he wanted, just as her father
had done.
But of late it had been increasingly diff
cult to persuade him, on account of bust
ness, to fulfil even his evening engage
ments. He was constantly reminding her
of bonds and things that he must study.
Well, if it was necessary for him to study
bonds and things, he should find some
way of doing it that would not interfere
with her plans.

The refreshing rains continue to
fall and for the last few days we
have had some that seriously wash

holding the stiff upper lip and no
doubt in the near future he will be
repulsed with very heavy loss.
With few exceptions our COM

but have no details.
Neertheless, We should not be w,
mindful Of the rapid strides that our
efficient manager OF the Tradesville

was the pleasure of the writer on an
early morn sometime since to join
few friends on an eastern tour by
automobile across the country in
the direction Of the great Atlantic
coast We had easy sailing until
we reached the slopes leading east
ward to Lynches river. At this
juncture, the hills became so steep
that the rear end of the heavy Cadil-
lac was running in front. At high
noon we reached the river After a
ship of a few hundred yards, the car
began its laborious struggle climb

the top Of the mighty mountain

had prepared for those who were to
participate in this occasion-p1ums
were in abundance on all sides which

fact that we had Mr.. Medium at the
