answered readily. Peter has an ca
ira bunk on his porch; Cherry and !
have my porch, But you can be out
or In. as you choose :"
Martin ventured an answer that
made Cherry's eyes CLINT angrily and
brought quick, embarrassed flush to
AliXs race. Alix did not enjoy Il
certain type Of joking, and she did not
cOncede Martin even the ghost of n
smile. He Immediately sobered and
remarked that he himself liked to be
indoors at night. His suitcase was
accordingly taken into the pleasant
little wOod-smelling room next TO Pc
ter's, where the autumn sunlight,
scented with the dry sweetness OF
mountain shrubs, was streaming.
He began to play solitaire, on the
porch table, at five, and Kow had to
disturb him to set II for dinner at
seven. AIix was watering the gar
den, Cherry was dressing. 1t was an
exquisite hour of long shadows and
brilliant lights.
Kow had put a tureen Of soup on
the table. and Alix had returned with
damp, clean hands and trinity brushed
hair, for supper, when Peter came up
through the garden. Cherry had ram
hled off In the direction OF the barn a
few moments before, but Martin had
followed her and brought her back.

OF the time and was idly watching
Antoine milking. She slipped into her

hardly raised her eyes throughout the
meal. II AIlx addressed her she flut-

absolute agony TO look up; to Peter

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex.
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, q
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re.
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success OF DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al.
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address

CHAPTER XVI.

The evening dragged. Alix had sug-
gested bridge but Martin did not play
bridge SO she went to the piano, and
began to ramble through various
songs.
Cherry and Peter, left at the table,
did not speak To each other Peter
leaned back I'm his chair, with a ciga-
rette; Cherry dreamily pushed to and
fro the little anagram wooden block
letters.
But presently her heart gave great
plunge. and although she did not alter
her different attitude, or raise her
eyes her white hand moved with di-
rected impulse, and Peters casual
glance fell upon the word "Alone."
When he laid his finished cigarette
in the tray, 1t was to finger the let
ters himself, in turn, and Cherry real
tied with a great thrill OF relief that
he was answering her. Carelessly, and.
obliterating one word before he began

"Come on. have another game 7"
Peter asked, generally, while he
spelled quickly: "Will arrange sail

Alix, humming with her song, said !:

Alix was conscious, as she went out
to speak to KOw about breakfast, and
to give a final glance at fires and
lights, tnat this was one Of the tlmea
when girls needed wise mother, or q
father, who could decide, blame, and
advise.
Coming back from the kitchen, with
a pitcher of hot water she saw Mar

went to his room. Cherry. with only
general goodnight, also disappeared
to find Alix arranging beds and pill.

not resent 1t. She could only bow her
