Very few suitors had ever passed
up the winding path. There was
something frosty in the air at the
Fenways'; something that nipped ro-
nance in the bud. SO Rodney AL
Ian expressed it, the first and only
time he ever asked Katherine to mar
~ him:
"She thinks there's a Fenway with
wings right beside st. Peter. I'd like
to see the pride taken out Of her, all
right"
But Katherine went serenely on
through her .twenties without APP
parently regretting her position as the
prize maiden lady of the little Maine
town. She had plenty of money, an
assured position, and all the old doc
tor left her. Life had run in serene

one say they were engaged and sud

girls and friends of her own girlhood
had some special soldier to welcome
and cling to. Her straight, dark
brows drew together slightly, and
she drew her fur cloak closer around
her. It was chilly in the back of the
hall. SHE heard window close two
seats behind her, and glanced back

History of Skatino.

The art of skating was invented by
the Dutch, and was popular in Holland
centuries before 1t spread to England
and France. The first blade-skates
used in England were introduced from
Holland about 1860 and are first men
tionedl in diary bearing this date.
January 20. 1861. Prior to the use of
skates by the Dutch sort of skate
made OF the bones of animals was used
by the northern peoples. dating back
to prehistoric times. Several Of these
primitive bone-skates have been found
In the marshy fields near London. and
are preserved in the British museum.
The period when skating, as 1t Is
known now. originated in Holland, Is
not known to historians.

Nobody In North Waldo ever spoke
OF Maria as a servant, although her
life had been devoted to service in
the doctors family.
The house stood well back from the
sidewalk on upper Main street; a
large, old-fashioned house, with a Gu
pola on top and wide piazza sur
rounding three sides of its lower
floor. The garden was withered and

HOW CAN YOU TELL YOUk
FAV0RITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-Just Smell II

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
in their pipes to find out il they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms of their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some
flavoring ito improve the favour and
burning qualities of the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind of flavorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
most wholesome, and delicious OF all
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in a great
measure explains the widespread popu-
larity of TUXEDO Tobacco.
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus dash of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance

any other tobacco. Try it and see'

strange man, but, after the first
half hour, Katherine began to find her
self-consciousness leaving her. as he
sat at her fathers place and told of
his experiences at the front He was
just out of the hospital and had come
north with the Maine units because
he had friends among them.
There's no one expecting me spe-
cially." he added. "My people are all
gone, excepting a sister out in Sc
attle."
And then, how 1t happened she
never knew, but Katherine saw him
grow tense and white, and Maria
helped her lift him to the couch in
the Doctors old room next the study.
Shell shock and overexertion, young
Doctor Morton's verdict was. He
must rest and be cheered up before
he tried to go on farther.
In the days that followed the full
lesson Of war came home to Kath-
crime as 1t had never before done.
Clad in white, she took her place as
his nurse, and fought to bring him
back to the normal. He was Bob LOr-
inner. she found out, nothing more, but
at the end of six weeks, when he was
able to have breakfast in the little
sun parlor Off the dining room, she
felt as If he had always been part
of her home.
81 suppose 1t didn't mean anything
to you, Miss Fenway, that night" he
was telling her; 'yOu just did your
duty by a strange soldier, but to me
it was handing me back my faith In
human nature. I'd said all the time
since we landed, nobody cared except
ing those who really belonged to you,
don't you know, and hadn't soul.
l don't see how you'll ever get rid of
me now"
She was pouring his coffee, and met
his eyes for one swift second as their
hands touched in passing cups, but the
undercurrent of appeal in his words
sent the color to her face delicately.
Maria was singing gospel hymns out
In the buttery and Cheer Up, the
canary overhead, was trying wildly
to keep up with her. The sunlight
poured through the south windows on
rows of Towering plants and the pink
and white china.
ut will be very lonely without you"
she said, softly. you've made me
feel as If had been given the oppor-
tunity to realize little Of what serv-
ice meant in having you here"
"And nothing MORE" he urged.
"Would you just as soon have taken
in one Of the others instead Of me?
I've liked to think that right from the
first time we looked at each other you
meant to ask me-"
His hands had closed over hers and
Katherine felt a relaxing Of all the
old prejudices as she looked at him
laughingly.
"Oh, dear Bob. I've grown accus-
toned TO you here, and I don't know
whether want you to go away or not.
It's just like taking the camel in your
tent, isn't it? Marie said the first day
she saw your pipe on the mantel, you'd
stay right along and now I'd miss 1t
terribly"
Bob took out his record card which
the doctor had filed out daily. He
pointed to one line on 1t, "Quartered
indefinitely" it said.
Can stay?" he asked. Maria's
singing came nearer along the hall,
and Katherine merely laid her finger
on her lips and nodded assent.
