CHAPTER FOUR
The Haunting Portrait.
|. IN TIE AR.

That was the year of the impetuous
spring; March brewed weather whose
golden g~raciousness she stole from
May, April brought times of summer
heat, such as that afternoon when
Priscilla fell asleep in the studio and
dreamed her dream of terror. Days
followed as rare, unreasonable enough
but sweet with the warm delight of
youth anticipating the richness of ma
turity, with nights of wonder whose
winds walked suavely beneath skies of
velvet, purple, dense and soft. Top
coats and heavy wraps went early and
unmourned to limbo, summer furs APP
peared to stress the delicacy of sum
merry frOcks. Shop windows blOOmed
with displays of sheer and dainty fab
RIGS eXquisitely tinted, like beds of eX-
otto flowers under glass. In between
them the Avenue saw confused and
~distracting shows of living flowers,
drifting up and down, eddying in
groups, pausing lightly. And by day
and night as we'll the Town abandoned
itself to such ~frivolity as had no prec-
edent in the maddest chapters of its
history. Between twelve and twelve
il was difficult to secure a table at any
of the more favored restaurants unless
one had been thoughtful enough to
make reservation long in advance.
Plays offering the sOrrieSt of entertain
ment prOspered beyond belief. At one
in the morning rushing tides of motor
cars rendered the passage of Fifth
avenue as perilOus as at five in the
evening. The more retiring social life
was prOpOrtiOnately more gay and rest
less, its brief pOSt-Lenten season in
CandeSCent with a brilliance unparal-
leled in the memory of the most elder
ly idler. Everywhere there was end
less feasting, dancing, coquetry, laugh
ter, love in idleneSS. Announcements
of engagements popped in well-nigh
continuous fusillade; and after dark
all the kindly shadows in the parks
were murmurOus with the voices of
humber SWeetheartS. Love was in the
air, as omnipresent as the dust of gold

III. THE PRESCRIPTION.

''Hypnotism?" she echoed her thought;
"I wonder if that's one way .
Do you think you could get at the
truth, Philip, if you were to hypnotic

"I'd rather not except as a last re-
sort. Hypnotism demands such cont

local remedies. But have you ever
known of one single person to be
freed from the slavery of Catarrh
by any kind of local treatment?
Why? Simply because they have
overlooked the cause of these
symptoms, and hence the treat
ment has been instructed. Re-
move the cause of the clogged up
sccumuiations that choke UP your
air passages, and they will natur-
ally disappear for good. But no
matter how many local applica-
tons you use to temporarily clear
them away, they promptly reap
pear and will continue to do so
until their cause is removed.
Eut if you will take a treatment
that goes right down to the very
source OF the disease and attacks it
at its starting point, then you are
on the right track. and can expect
results. S. S. s., the fine old fifty
year old blood remedy is an anti
dote to the millions of tiny Ca
