CHAPTER XIV.
"If you please, miss, could you come
to Mrs. Graham?"
This unwelcome summons forced
itself upon me ns I lay luxurious!}
reading upon the couch In the llvln
room the day following our dinnei
party.
"Did she send for me?"
"No. miss.''
Mrs Graham's servant, a half-growi
girl with a face of surprising stupid
Cy. stood stolidly before me. the end
of a small shawl held under her chi.i
and a frightened expression in her
small eyes.
"Then, why did you come?"
To my surprise, the girl put her
face In her hands and began to cry
with a sniffing persistency very an
noyiug to hear.
"I'm scared of her." she sobbed;
"she's that queer, miss. She's went all
blue and stiff like, and Mr. Graham
ain't there, nor nobody but me. And
seeing as how you come to the house
sometimes, miss. I thought as maybe
you might help me. fur I'm t*cared to
stay alone, so I am."
I rose reluctantly, for I knew but
little of illness, and was also "scared'
of the prospect: but go I must, in
common decency, and alone at th.it
for Mary Anne and Elizabeth were out
and Gabrlelle was shut up in her room
with p. bad cold, the result of too much
wandering about with thin slippers
the night before.
A chill east wind was blowing, anr
I shivered as we hastened down the
path and up the narrow steps.
Mrs. Graham lay rigid upon the
couch, her eyes shut and her lips blue
and pinched I put my hand over her I
heart, and its faint flutter was a great j
relief, as 1 had thought her dead.
"It is only a faint.'' I exclaimed, and i
directed the bewildered girl to as-;
sist mo in my efforts to revive her. At i
last we were rewarded by a lone
drawn sigh, and the lids slowly lifted
from tho dark eyes.
The servant had found some brandy, j
and I held a little to her lips, motion
Ing her net to speak, but she pushet >
the glass aside and Fat upright
"It Is a bad dream," she said—"onl
a dream! Say It—only a dream!"
"Only a dream," 1 repeated, sooth
Itjly—"a had dream."
She swallowed a little of the brand-
aud lay back exhausted on the coucl
while I followed the servant into tin
kitchen.
"Where is Mr. Graham?" I de
manded, sharply.
"I don't know, miss."
"When will ho be home?"
"I don't know, miss."
"Has Mrs. Graham been ill long*"
"I don't know, miss."
"Ib thore anything you do know?"'
1 inquired, my patience worn thread-
bare.
"No, miss; I don't know nothing."
This statement was so evidently true
(hat I left her aimlessly poking the
Are and returned to my patient.
She lay quite still, with closed eyes,
so I merely drew a chair near the
couch and sat down to wait further
developments I waited a long time
Tho minutes slipped jast, and the
room grew dim, for twilight was ap-
proaching—the long summer twilight
which I usually loved, but whose ar«
rival I dreaded today.
At last she stirred, moved restlessly
once or twice, then raised her head
and looked around the room
"Where is he?" she said. "When-
is he?"
"He has not cotne home yet, Mrs
Graham," I replied "No doubt he will
be here soon "
She fell back upon her pillows, and
Instinctively I sprang to her side, but
she waved me away and turned hor
face to the wall.
"It was not a dream," she moaned;
"It is true, quite true."
I heard the little servant close the
window and light her lamp, and en
vied her the warmth and brightness of
her kitchen, for the room was chilly
and fast growing dark.
finally Mrs. Graham raised herBolf
by a great effort and beckoned to me.
"On the table In my room," she said,
speaking with difficulty, "you will find
some medicine. Drop it in water—the
bottle tells how—and bring It to me.
"*lt be quick!"
I ran to the little room above and
fcraugh' the medicine, dropping it with
shaking hand, and holding it to her
lips that Hhe might swallow it. In a
few minutes her breathing grew less
labored, and she even smiled faintly.
"Don't be frightened." she whis-
pered. "I am better now. It is all
over—I know these attacks."
Little by little her face grew more
natural, until at last she ceased to
breathe with the short, painful gasp,
and even sat upright among the pil-
lows; but it wus evident she was still
suffering from some shock or distress
of mind, for she drew me down beside
her, holding my hand with a vise-like
grip, as though she feared 1 might
snatch It away from her.
"Stay with me," she begged. "Don't
leave me. I—I cannot stay alone to-
night."
Ho I agreed to stay, and dispatched
the maid to the cottnge with a note
for Gabrlelle, saying simply that Mrs.
Graham was alone and not well, and
wanted me lo spend the night with
Shall 1 ever forget that night? Her
llrst spasmodic attempts at ordinary
conversation, her long silences, always
followed by wandering to the window
and gazing out over the ocean with
the hopeless yet expectant air of one
knees beside my bed he bog*.d me
to live for his sake. For his sake—
the words sounded wonderfully sweet
to my ears, and when he held my hand
in both his own and whispered that
he would never leave me again, I be-
gan to feel a desire to gel well.
"He kept his word, too, but this sum- I
mer he came to me and told me that
the sea was calling him, and ho must
go. He suggested that I come with
him up here, where he could have his (
boat and come home to me at night,
but he would not bring the boy, and It j
broke my heart to leave him. Now .
you know why I hate the ocean—my i
enemy."
"I understand," I said, and I thought j
I did realize a little how distreusing it j
must be to her to be so near It.
"Yes," she said; "1 came here glad-
ly, because he asked it, although I
hate the air and the very sight of the
ocean. But to-day I found something
else. 1 was mending his coat, trying
to keop myself occupied and not think ,
too much, for he went out day before j
yesterday and 1 have not seen him j
since."
"Yes?" I said, for she paused tin- i
certainly.
"It is not the ocean," she said, brok
enly. "That -was but an excuse. It Is
a woman."
She thrust her hand into tho bosom
of her dress, and instinctively I knew
she would bring forth a small package
wrapped In white tissue paper. She
opened It. and I saw the blue ribbon
and the little soft curl with a strange
sense of familiarity. She put her fin-
ger under the lock of hair, as Eliza-
beth had done, and looked at me with
speechless misery.
"Perhaps," I suggested, "there Is
some mistake."
"It is pretty, is it not?" she said.
"A little, soft ring of yellow hair!
The Minutes Slipped Past, and the Room Grew Dim.
j who knows it Is useless to watch, yet
• \evertheless continues to do so; and
he flnal moment when, casting all re-
erve aside, she flung herself upon her
( vnees beside the couch and prayed
: hat death might come soon and spare
ser further suffering.
"Oh, Harry," she mourned, "how
ould you? And I loved you so!"
It was Infinitely pitiful, and after a
while, when she grew calmer, she told
Yet when I saw it and—realized, my
heart stopped beating, and I remember
nothing more until I saw you."
She was talking calmly now—too
calmly. I thought, as I looked at her
feverishly bright eyes. The hand
which touched mine occasionally was
hot and dry, and a round red spot in
either cheek glowed and paled Inter-
mittently.
"1 am glad I didn't know," she con-
first few years of her married life and
of her husband's great love for her
and for the child, and the happiness
he brought her.
"Then," she continued, "there came
a change. He went away, and for
weeks I did not hear from him. 1
thought he was dead, and nearly died
also, they tell me. At last he came
back to me—so loving, so patient with
my invalid ways, and so self-reproach-
ful at his own thoughtlessness. He had
been yachting, he said; an invitation j
came at the last moment, and the let- j
ter he sent telling me of his plans 1
must have miscarried. Could 1 ever
forgive him?
"Well, I was only too glad to get j
him back, and I believed him abso j
lutely. For a while, almost a year, we
were very happy again, and 1 was be-
ginning to forget, when he disappeared

weeks, but when he returned he made

he said, and he must go. He never
told me where he went, nor what he-
did, but he gave up his other business,
and yet we seemed to have more
money than ever. He went away
often and stayed for long periods after
that, and for months 1 would not know
where he was. When he came back
to me he was always kind, always
thoughtful for my comfort, always
ready to talk on any subject except
the one nearest my heart. Hut he
grew to hate the boy."
"His own child?" I interrupted.
"How unnatural!"
"He said I loved the child better
than I loved my husband," she said,
"but God knows whether that Is true
or not. At last I became ill again,
during one of his absences, and when
he returned it was a question whether
or not 1 would live. He was dreadful-

BACKS.
How to Make a Bad Back Better.
Women who suffer with backache,
bearing down pain, dizzy spells, and
that constant feeling
of dullness and tired-
ness, will find hope
in the advice of Mrs.
Mary Hinson of 21
Strother St., Mt.
Sterling, Ky. "Had
I not used Doun's
Kidney Pills I be-
lieve I would not be living to-day,"
says Mrs. Hinson. "My eyesight was
poor, I suffered with nervous, splitting
headaches, spots would dance before
my eyes, and at times I would be so
dizzy I would have to grasp some-
thing for support. My back was so
weak and palui^l I could hardly bend
over to button my shoes and could not
get around without suffering severely.
Doan's Kidney Pills helped me from
the first, and I continued until practi-
cally well again."

She spoke in the tone of quiet rem- 1

first poignancy of grief is over.

First Fahrenheit Thermometer.
In the year 1714 one Daniel Gabriel
Fahrenheit brought to the chancellor
of the University of Halle two ther-
mometers which agreed so perfectly
in registering temperatures that they
were considered marvels. All sclen
tists were amazed. His method is
now one of the three accepted stand
ards. Fahrenheit was by birth a
Prussian, but after his fifteenth year
he lived a long life in Amsterdam. His
great skill in working in glass en-
abled him to carry out his ideas. He
was an original thinker, but for com
mercial reasons kept secret his meth
ods of manufacture for 18 years.

Mrs. Graham, fully dressed and
with a lighted candle in her hand,
stood beside the bed, a shawl around

A Nebr. woman has outlined the
prize food In a few words, and that i
from personal experience. She writes: |
"After our long experience with
Grape-Nuts, I cannot say enough in its
favor. We have used this food almost :
continually for seven years.
"We sometimes tried other adver ,
tised breakfast foods but we invariably ;
returned to Grape-Nuts as the most pal j
atable, economical and nourishing 1
of all.
"When I quit tea and coffee and be
gnu to use Postum and Grape-Nuts 1
was a nervous wreck. I was so li
ritable I could not sleep nights, had
no interest in life.
"After using Grape-Nuts a short time
I began to improve and all these all- ,
ments have disappeared and now I am i
a well woman. My two children have j
been almost raised on Grape-Nuts,
which they eat three times a day.
"They are pictures of health and
have never had the least symptom of
stomach trouble, even through the
most severe siege of whooping cough
they could retain Grape-Nuts when all
else failed.
"Grape-Nuts food has saved doctor
bills, and has been, therefore, a most
economical food for us."

all that writing on an empty stomach.
