She was thinking IN the terms OF
wages and toll.
She was going to earn fifty thousand
a year some day, but she supposed
that at first she would earn very little
twenty-five dollars week, perhaps.
For the first time in her existence
she wildly understood how all these
fairy tissues were the products OF hu-
man labor, paid for with wages and to
be sold for other wages. Pearls were
drops of sweat; perfumes were the
signs Of weary men; soft fabrics were
the hard spinning of human silkwormS.
Bayard was even now racking his
brain to accumulate what three wom-
en- were squandering.
So Daphne meditated as she had
never meditated before and might not
often mediate again. She refused to
buy thing. Her mother could only
explain her mood as symptom of an
illness and advise her to get home to
bed. There was something suspicious
in the condition Of girl who could
look with qualms Of conscience or ap-
petite on such a banquet.
At length fatigue and faintness re-
minded Mrs. Kip, senior, that she had
not eaten and the hour was late. She
called for her luncheon and they went
together to tearoom. Here Daphne

the other swept round her shoulders

toward the sacredness of her mouth.

Lelia's sobs had stopped now and
Bayard listened for them anxiously.
Perhaps she had died Of grief. A lasso
seemed to have caught him about the
shoulders; it was dragging him to the
door.
He went there at last, and listened.
He heard low whimpering, unendur-
ably appealing. He tapped on the door
and called through it.
leila, honey love, forgive me. I'VE
seen the little gown. It's beautiful.
You shall have itand dozen like it.

The door opening, he slipped
through to take refuge with his Leila.
A moment later the doorbell rang.
Daphne checked the maid whose ears
had been fascinatingly entertained,
and told her that If the caller were
Mr.. Wimburn he was to wait outside
in the hall. It was Wimburn and
Daphne went out to him. He greeted
her with the zest of a young lover.
Daphne gave him cold cheek to kiss,
and then, pulling her engagement ring
from her finger, placed it in his hand.
What what's this, Daphne?" he
suffered.
ITS your ring. I'm giving it back.
The engagement is off-indefnitely.
For heavens sake, why? What

Nothing. Neither have /. But I'm

She left him outside and closed the
door as lovingly as she could.
While Clay waited for the elevator
to come up and take him down he
stared at the ring with sleeps eyes
tossed it, and caught it awkwardly
and laughed and almost spoke his

A Single Remedy Often Cures
Many Diseases
Many Diseases
By VALENTINE MOTT, M. d.

ID L L. H. 1s
It is almost impossible to give list of
the endless diseases that follow indigestion.
Perhaps whole column in this newspa-
per would be required to print them all.
You eat to keep alive-to supply blood and
flesh and bone and muscle and brain. 1t
IS easy to see that if your food is not di-
gested and taken up by the delicate or
gems and distributed where it is needed,
disease of some sort is sure to come. Dys-
pepsla is common symptom, and so are
liver complaint, loss of flesh, nervousness,
bad memory, dizziness, sleeplessness, no
appetite. Many times, when neglected, in
digestion results in coughs, throat diseases,
catarrh, bronchitis and even more danger
Gus things. And all these disorders arise
because the food is not properly digested
IN the stomach. It is plain even to a
child that relief and cure are to be had
only by setting up healthy condition in
the stomach. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N
4, many years ago combined a number
OF vegetable growths into temperance
remedy for Indigestion, and called it
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t is probably
the most ehicacious discovery ever made
n medicine, for the list Of people all over
the world who have had their countless ills
overcome by DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery makes an amazing total Of thou

Begin a home treatment today with this

you better than can tell you what it will

important thing-it contains neither alco-
hol nor opiates. There is nothing in it

War needs greatly increased the de-

chemicals. caustic soda has, perhaps,
been the most in demand. Indeed, SO
pressing has been the need for this
particular commodity in the war in
custries that its manufacture in the
United States more than doubled since

sary to place virtual embargo on its

had another attack of eccentricity; a
stubborn determination to go home
and send back to Dutilh the wicked
gown that she had bought Of him on
credit.
She had left the house without re-
turning it and she was afraid that
there would be difficulties il she de-
layed. Fortunately there had been no
alterations in the gown.
Perhaps there is no form that satan
takes Oftener than that of fashion

women the conquest Of the world. But
Daphne resisted him and said to Leila:
"Get thee behind me, satan! I'm go
ing to return this gown and let Dutilh
give Bayard credit for it. won't look
at another gown till can pay for it
out Of my own earnings. I'll not get
married till can buy the rest of my
trousseau myself. I've decided that
an independent woman must buy her
own rousseau.
Even in the eyes of ambition this
promised to require fairly long
period-a period SO lengthy that she
wondered if Clay's love would outlast
it.
She did love him and the thought
of losing him alarmed her more than
the thought Of losing the precious
gown.
Leila woke from her meditation with
a sudden "Come along; we must dress
for the tea-fght."
Mrs. Kip, senior, amused the young
Kips by thinking aloud: II wonder if
that nice Mr.. Duane will be at the
tea"
ooh! shame shamev r cried Leila
''Its regular intrigue. No, he won't
be there. Telephone him at the Rae
quet club and he'll come to you. He's
usually there"
She did not see the start the artleSs
hint gave Daphne, who had learned by
accident what she had not known how
to find out otherwise. Daphne con-
cealed her agitation in the briskneSs
with which she concluded the affair of
the DutiIh gown. She folded it up and
laid it back in the box as If it were a
baby she was about to leave on door
step. She kissed it good-by and put
the lid over IL and tied it up with a
crazy combination of strings of vari-
GUS sorts.
She refused to go to the tea party,
now that the gown was lost, and she
said she had letters to write
But when her mother and Leila had
left her she wrote only one letter-a
note of regretful rejection to Dutilh.
She pinned it to the bog and sent it
off by a messenger. Then she tele-
phoned to Tom Duane.
She did not quite realize the temer-
ity of calling man at his club, and
Tom Duane misunderstood her, i'm
puted her innocence to its opposite. He
remembered her as pretty thing. If
she were brazen-well, he liked brass
in certain forms. When she said that
she wanted to have serious talk with
him at his convenience, he made it the
immediate moment at the cost Of
breaking an engagement at tennis.
He asked her if she would not meet
him somewhere for tea, but she said
that she preferred to see him at her
brothers apartment. His invitation
aroused her suspicion. Her invitation
confirmed his.
