He took the letter from his pocket and handed it to her. “It's not ex- actly an invitation-—not formal.” She did what he called “flicked"” the letter out of its cnvelope. He watehed her reading it and in mind?he could see us perfectly she with her eyes, the odd, seript; in his mind he read it her, word by word. Dear Mhrko—We're back. We've been from China to Peru—almost. (fome up one day and bhe hored about it. How are you His thought was, ter!" Mabel handed it back, without re- turning it to its envelope.

"\\'hy does she call you ‘Marko'?" He was ul(l‘rlv taken aback. If the question had come from anyone but Mabel, he would have quite failed to connect it with the letter. But here had distinetly been an “incident” over the letter, though so far closed, as he had imagined, that he was completely surprised. He said, "Who? Nona?" “Yes, Nona, if you like. bar. “Why, she always has. that.” Mabel put the rose into a specimen vasg with immense care and touched a fim'rk off its petals with her fin- n', “1 really didn’t.” ‘®Mabel, you know you must have heard her.” ‘““Well, 1 may have.

And then he thought, ing to let it be maddening. This is just what happens.” He said, “Well, this is silly. I've known her—we've known one another—for years, since we were children, pretty well. She's called me by my Christian name since I can remember. You must have heard her. We don’t sce much of her—perhaps you haven't. I thought you had. Anyway, dash the thing. What does it matter?" “It doesn’t matter’’-—she launched a flower into a vase—'a hit. I only think it's funny, that's all.” “Well, it's just her aw Mabel gave a little sniff. He thought it was over. But it wasn't over. “If you ask me, I call it a funny letter, You say your Christian name, but it isn't your Christian name—Marko! And then saying, ‘How are you?’ like that-—" « “Like what? She just said it, didn't she?" “Yes, I know. And then Don’t you call that funny?" “Well, 1 always used to call her ‘Nona.'!

No answer he could have made could have more exasperated her. “I —don't—Dbelieve-—I-—would.” Deliber- ation! Something incomprehensible to her going on in his mind, and as a vesult of it a statement that no one on carth (she felt) but he would have made. Anyone clse would have said boldly, blusteringly, “Of course I would have told you about the lct- ter.” She would have liked that. She would have disbelieved it and she could have said, and enjoyed saying, she dishelieved it. Or anyone else would have said furiously, “No, I'm damned if I' have shown you the let- ter.”” She would have liked that. It would have affirmed her suspicions that there was “something in it,” and she wished her suspicions to be af- firmed. 1t would have heen some- thing definite. Something justifiably incentive of anger, of resentment, of jealousy. She could not express her feelings in words. She expressed them in ac |tion. She arose violently and left the room. The whole of her emotions she put into the slam of the door be- hind her. The ornaments shivered. A cup sprang off a bracket and dashed itself to pieces on the floor.

The stomach, acis as a churn. 1t is covered by a sirong, muscular coat and lined with a soft, declicate membrane which secretes the Gastric Julce which digests or dissolves solid food, When food enters the stomach, the muscular coat squeezes and presses the food, from end to end, or churns ity with the gastric juice to dissolve or digest it. But—if the stomach muscles are weak-—or if the dissolving fluid is poororinsufficient —then food cannot be digested properly and you have Indigestion. “Fruit-a-tives” or “Fruit Laxo Tablets” are made from concentrated and intensi- fied fruit juices and tonics,. They will positively cure Indigestion and Dys- pepsia because they tone up the stomach, bowels, kidneys and skin, and thus insure pure gastric juice and improved digestion, “Fruit-a-tives”, the only medicine made Srom fruit juices, will correct your Indiges- tion and enable you to enjoy every meal.
