CHAPTER XVII.
A Hard Knock,


II was a sweet spring day, blue
arched and ftful-aired, with a riot of
bird songs in the pines when the little
cavalcade bore Walter Sandry up the
vivid valley.
They took him up tho slope and
into the Office and held him while ST.

blankets TO pile high on the spring
cot. and presently they laid him, a
sadly broken thing. upon It, The color

girl. and her hands shut hard, hung
tensely in the folds of her skirt as a
silence fell with the easing of the man

The doctor had known her for the

before answering,
"Close call, Sletz,' he said gently;
maybe he'll liye-maybe not"
For a moment she swayed upon her
feet, finging her hands across her
eyes, while her breath came in catch
ing gasps.
But God sits above the seal" she
cried at last, tragically. "oh, Father,
spare him, for he is an unbeliever!"
At this tense moment Poppy Ord
way, who had been watching from the
background with parted lips and kin
ding eyes, stepped forward.

For a heady moment he could scarce
resist the bidding Of the lawless thrill
that she was ever capable Of sending
through him. to take her into his arms
as he had done that day when she
beheld the sea. But a tardy thought
OF Miss Ordway shut his hands upon
themselves and steadied his voice.
He put his hands upon her shoul-
ders and turned her round.

said, but his voice had fallen 10 a

Where one has never made the eI.

drinking Postum, It Is still easy to

the experiences OF others.
Drinking Postum Is a pleasant way

Within two weeks after she quit coffee
and began using Postum almost all OF
her troubles had disappeared as II by
