He is to-day a strong man and absolutely free from the disease. A few years ago I contracted eczema, and became an intense sufferer, A whole winter passed without once having on shoes, nearly from the knees to the toes be- ing covered with virulent sores. I tried many doctors to no purpose. Then I procured the Cuticura Remedies and found immediate improvement and finalcure. M. W. LaRue, 845 Seventh St., Louisville, Ky., Apr. 23 and May 14,07.” A Metaphor With a History. To “know a hawk from a_ hern- shaw” is a metaphor with a curious history. It is a comparison drawn from falconry. “Hernshaw” is a cor- ruption of “heronshaw,” or young heron, a bird which was a common prey of the falcons. To know a hawk from a hernshaw is therefore to be able to distinguish a falcon from its prey. A further colloquial corruption crept into the phrase—“to know a hawk from a handsaw,” 4 form used by Hamlet in one place. Possibly the distinction between a hawk and a hernshaw was found not to be strong enough for the purposes of the proverb. Cures by Sea Water. M. Quinton, a learned French bi- ologist, has effected marvelous cures by sea water. Reduced to its sim- plest expression, his sea-water cure consists of introducing by subcuta- neous. injections into the enfeebled organism a “serum,” or “plasma,” which is nothing but a_ perfectuly pure sea water, sterilized and diluted in a fixed proportion. He says every aromal organism, whether worm, dog, horse or man, is composed of sea water to the extent of one-third of its weight. A man weighing 168 pounds contains 56 pounds of sea water. This sea water, M. Quinton declares, is the vital liquid of the organic cells, the liquid without which life would not be possible. DIFFERENT NOW Athlete Finds Better Training Food. It was formerly the belief that to become strong, athletes must eat plenty of meat, This is all out of date now, and many trainers feed athletes on the well-known food, Grape-Nuts, made of wheat and barley, and cut the meat down to a small portion once a day. “Three years ago,” writes a Mich. man, “having become interested in athletics, I found I would have to stop eating pastry and some other kinds of food. “J got some Grape-Nuts, and was soon eating the food at every meal, for I found that when I went on the track, I felt more lively and active. “Later, I began also to drink Postum in place of coffee, and the way I gained muscle and strength on this diet was certainly great. On the day of a field meet in June I weighed 124 Ibs. On the opening of the football season in Sept., I weighed 140. I at- tribute my fine condition and good, work to the discontinuation of im- proper food and coffee, and the using of Grape-Nuts and Postum, my princi- pal diet during training season being Grape-Nuts. “Before I used Grape-Nuts I never felt right in the morning—always kind of ‘out of sorts’ with my stomach. But now when I rise I feel good, and after a breakfast largely of Grape-Nuts with cream, and a cup of Postum, I feel like a new man.” “There’s & Reason.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Esther had accompanied her in all her shop- ping expeditions to Falmouth and Truro, while-Clement had béen avail- able for any expedition that involved a long drive across the country. Marion treated him with frank friendliness. In her eyes he was al- most a middle-aged man. And she looked up to him as she would to an uncle or to an elder‘ brother. There was not the faintest shadow of coquet- ry in her intercourse with him, no breath of sentiment stirred her heart. He was a middle-aged man and she was a girl, and that his friendliness could ripen into any warmer feeling never came within the circle of ‘her thoughts. After a day or two Clement realized how girlish she was—a woman in stature, wise beyond her years, seri- | ous in her outlook upon life—and yet with a delightful youthfulness that scattered to the winds his early mis- givings. There was no reason in the world why he should avoid her. He would. be quite safe in spending as much time in her company as he pleased. So he threw caution aside and gave himself up to entertaining her, and in doing so found abundant entertainment. There 'was something very delight- ful in her frank enjoyment of every- thing. She had got into a fresh en- vironment, and looked with wonder- ing and delighted eyes at everything she saw. Moreover, she had never been taught to curb her enthusiasm or bottle up her delight; when she was happy everybody knew it. One of her first pleasures was in being shown over the house. It seem- ed to hér like a medieval picture. She had grown up in a country where everything was new, where the houses sprang up like mushrooms in a night, and cities appeared as if by magic. Here was a house that had taken generations to complete, and whose walls had echoed to the laugh- ter of children who had died two hun- dred years ago. It was like a fairy CHAPTER Vil. A New Interest. Ten days later Marion was ready to face the world once more; her arm all sorts of strange fancies and filling the place with the ghosts of dead-and- gone Mawgans. After the house the grounds had to be explored, and then the country be- yond. She and Clement took ‘long walks on the cliffs and explored in- numeradle creeks and bays. He point- ed out to her the treacherous Beetles, churning, as always the green water into foam; showed her the nar- row channel through which the boats had come, and the rock to which she had clung when he and Grayton, res- cued her. She grew serious when she stood among the treacherous rocks in St. Chioe bay, and the tears came into her eyes more than once. She won- dered again if it would not have been better if she had gone down with the Nebraska. She was still dreading her meeting with Mr. Mayhew, still pain- fully apprehensive of the future. She did not talk to Clement, how- ever, of her fears. She felt it would be ungrateful to do so. He had been so kind to her that her duty was to show her appreciation by a cheerful disposition. Her brightness acted upon him like a tonic, He began to look at things through her eyes, Some Of the en- thusiasm of his boyhood came back to him. The world was not nearly so dull a place as he had been proclaim- ing it. He was surprises at himself occasionally. Those dreary. Novem- ber days, which he always dreaded, had become unaccountably bright. The long, dull, purposeless evenings brim- med over with interest and. charm. Esther played and sang because there was some one who appreciated her efforts, and Clement turned his, back on the library and on his pipe be- cause the drawing room seemed more cosy and warm. Mrs. Mawgan looked on without misgiving. “After all, she is only a child,” was her reflection. And Clem- ent had seen too much of the world and had had much too painful an ex- perience of women, to run any risk from a girl in her teens. So for ten days everything went as well as well could be. Marion stub- bornly set her face against anticipat- ing the future. Now and then a cold wave of apprehension swept over her, but she quickly . recovered herself. Her manifest duty was to enjoy her- self while she had the opportunity. Mawgan Chase was a delightful old ‘place. Esther and Clement were de- lightful people, and even Mrs. Maw: tale, and she found herself weaving | HOCKING. gan, when she forgot her family pride, could be distinctly entertaining. Clement did his best to cultivate a similar temper of mind. He told him- self that Marion was a bright, viva- cious girl; a generous and unspoiled child of Nature; a pretty human doc- ument that was well worth studying; a possible breaker of hearts in the future. Meanwhile he could ‘€n- joy her society without the slightest risk to his peace of mind, and he might also help to direct her thoughts and emotions into right channels. So the days sped away almost like a dream, what with shopping and dressmaking and occasional rambles and drives. Every hour of the day was occupied so far as Marion was concerned, and somehow Clement found himself nearly always in her company. She was so youthful, so ingenious and unspoiled, and the MaWgans talked more freely about themselves and their affairs in her presence than they might otherwise have done. She had no desire whatever to pry into their family history, and certainly no wish to be entrusted with any family secrets, and yet, unwittingly, she got to know a good many things that were not common knowledge. No one told her in so many words, and yet she was not long in discov- ering that they were painfully poor. Her keen eyes were quick to see the schemings and contrivings that went on every day to make both ends meet. They made a brave show before the | little world of St. Chloe and neighbor- hood, The family dignity was main- tained at the cost of much mental suf- fering and stress, but it was always maintained. The flag was never low- ered, no inch of position was _surren- dered. Marion did not know whether she more admired them for this.or pitied them. -There was something admira- ble, no doubt, in the brave and patient way they fought and struggled and sacrificed for the sake of a sentimen- tal idea of position. To her, with her democratic training, the end did not seem worth the effort. What did. at matter whether they lived in an® an- cient manor house or im a modern | villa? A smaller house could be work- ed at much less cost, and reduced ex- penditure would: mean far: more com- fort. She kept her thoughts to herself, however, in this as in many other mat- ters. The Mawgans imagined that she | did not see or understan@. She learned also that the Mawgans | had lost nearly all their money | through the speculations of Clem- ent’s father. The story came out bit by bit and was never fully told. But she put the fragments together into a fairly connected whole, and her heart grew hot with indignation against the scoundrel who had swindled a too-con- fiding man out of his possessions and broken his heart. With her seven or eight hundred dollars still intact, and a number of gems that might be converted into money, she felt almost rich in compar- ison. She insisted on purchasing presents for both Esther and Mrs. Mawgan, and she gave them with so pretty a grace that they could not re- fuse, though they felt that in this way she was paying them for board and lodging. Clement felt strangely perturbed: when the day was fixed for her de- parture. He knew he would miss her, and ‘miss her terribly. She had brought a new interest into his life, and almost changed the face of the world. He would gladly have kept her an indefinite period, and would have | proposed it but for one or two considerations. The first was the statetof the exchequer, and the second was the fact that she would be a wo- man directly, and a very beautiful wo- man to boot. In fact, as the day of her departure drew near he began to wonder whether they had not all de- ceived themselves in regarding her merely as a girl. Her youthful ways and :frank, ingenious talk had, in a measure, put them off their guard. It was jtheir first experience of New World freedom, and they did not un- derstand it. The day, before she started she wrote to Mr. Mayhew, enclosing her father’s letter and stating by what train she would reach Exeter. did this at Clement’s advice. He did not think it quite just to Mr. Mayhew or to Mrs. Mayhew—providing he had a wife—to take them quite unawares. Clement went with Marion to the station. The day was rainy and cold, west. Neither of them was in the | humor for conversation. The face of the world was changing again for both, the distant landscape lay in heavy shadow. Marion was afraid to talk much lest she should reveal how much she dreaded the future. Clement was silent because all subjects seemed trivial and commonplace. He wondered in g vague kind of way how long it would take him: to forget her; speculated gloomily on.the strange chances and accidents of life, and hoped that neither of them would be the worse for this chance meeting. At the station he formed the sudden . to go with Marion as far as She.‘ | with a searching wind from the north-- Truro. It would help him to pass the day. There was nothing to do at Maw- gan Chase, and he rather feared that he might find it duller than ever. “Tl be down by the 6 o'clock train,” he said to the coachman, “so you need not wait.” Marion looked up in surprise. “I may as well kill two ‘birds with one stone,” he said, with a mirthless laugh. “There are two or three people in Truro I want to see.” “I expect the journey to Exeter will seem very long,” she ventured, after a pause. “Oh, no; it will quickly slip away.. One gets interested in the scenery, if nothing else, Besides, at Truro I shall be able to get you something to read.” “I hope I shall find Mr. Mayhew nice.” p “I hope you will. Indeed}, he will sure be of the right sort, or your father would not have sent you to him.” “Yes, I'try to think that. It feels a bit strange to be starting off arate You have been so good to me.” “I am glad we were able to shelter you for a bit.” “After the shelter comes the storri. Isn’t that the old adage?” “I don’t think so. Indeed, it is the other way about. ‘After the storm a calm.” “It means pretty much the same thing, I guess,” she said, looking out across the cheerless and rain-sodden landscape. “Nothing lasts long. The calm breaks and the storm follows. The storm spends itself and the calm succeeds. I’ve been in the calm late- ly.” “Not much calm, I should say, in being shipwrecked,” he said with a laugh, “Oh! that seems ages ago.” “Have the days at Mawgan Chase seemed so long?” She did not reply for several mo- ments. They were standing under the covered part of the platform. Beyond the station the rain was sweeping up the hillside like a veil of gossamer. Two or three people were toiling up the steep road, carrying umbrellas lbw in front of them. “Isn’t that a picture of life?’ she questioned, and he followed the direc- tion of her eyes, “Why a picture of life?” “A steep road, adverse winds, and scant protection. The best part of the day for most people, I guess, is when the darkness falls.” “What do you mean by that?” “Night brings rest for us all. But here comes the train. Tell your moth- er and sister that I shall never cease to be grateful to them as long as I live.” G “I am going with you as far as Truro.” “Oh, I was forgetting. I fear I have been a great trouble to you.”: ' “No you have not. You have bright- ened up the old place wonderfully. . “Have, 17 Weill, that’s ~ very strange.” 4 Clement found an empty compart- ment and took a seat opposite her. “The train will fill up at Truro, I ex- pect,” he remarked, casually. “But you won’t mind being alone?” “T should prefer it.” “You’ve not been unhappy at Maw- gan Chase?” “ “On the contrary, I've been very happy. So happy that I feel as theugh I had known you all for months and years.” ’ “And you are sorry to go away?” “Ah! now that is not a fair ques- tion,” she answered with a laugh. “One may be sorry to leave a ship, and yet be glad he is at his Journey's end.” “We shall not soon forget you,” he said, abruptly, after a long silence. “I hope that does not distress you,” | she said, smiling at him. He blushed uncomfortably, looked out of the window. “I meant, rather,” he stammered, “that we shall always carry pleasant memories of your visit.” “Ah! now that is kind of you, see. ing I was an uninvited guest.” (To Be Continued.) and PROVED POOR GUESSER.

But if you are a Mason I'll try to help you into better paths. What are the thre> precious jewels?” . The old vagrant twisted and turned. “It’s eighteen years since I been in- side a lodge, your honor,” he said. “Onst when I was a little kid—” “What are the three precious jew- els?”. asked the judge coldly. “J hate to reveal lodge secrets, your honor,” said the vagrant. “You whisper them in my ear,” said the judge. “Well,” said the tramp, “ef I hain’t forgot the ritual, the precious jewels is a bird, a bottle and a pretty girl.” “Three months’ hard,” said the jus: tice. in His eisai aoe: Place Just Now. “where is the grill room in this club?” asked the curious visitor. “TJ think you can strike it in almost any one on the, sunny side,” replied the inert member.
