conventionality. Either distrusted the other. An armed truce -that was the wo,.! that described our relations, and she had lUffm sled that word. Dr. Starva entered. "Kn route." he said gruffly. "The carriage is waiting "
As we passed, women and children dtopped delighted courtesies, and the men took pipes from broadly grinning
smaller semicircular towers placed at each angle of the larger one. The effect of this triangular-shaped tower, with its three supporting towers, was bizarre, but not unpleasing It prepared one for an Interior unique and interesting. W. passed ben. at h the arched doorway, severe and bare of ornament, into the great hall. At the left was the grand stairway, the balustrades of gag maggire and dark with age, but admirably carved At the end of the hall, on the right, a fire of logg was blazing brightly The hooded mantel, Gothic In design, was also of oak and black, tied w ith the smoke of cen tunes A stand of banners stood near the foot of the stairway. Not far from the fireplace was a curious spiral staircu e leading to the gallery that ran the length of the room above. Tapestip s covered the bare walls and filled the spaces between the narrow win-
; dows that looked out on the court, ; yard. The furniture was of the period of the French Renaissance covered
for the most part with stamped leather of gold and dull red. I could m.r repress a cry of delighv as I entered. I had passed in an instant from the world of commonplace hotels and railway trains Into an atmosphere of charm and beauty. For no matter how industriously the connoisseur in America may gather about him exquisite and beautiful things, he cannot shut out the scream of the railroad train; he cannot transplant
j across the seas the charm of medieval
ism that clings to castle walls. It is one thing to see the Cluny with a guide book; it is quite another to find one's self a guest at the Clunv.
' You like my Castle of Happiness?" asked Madame de Varnier, pleased at the pleasure I showed "It promises its adventures," I re
piled meaningly. "I have told you that your hour of romance has come. Hut remember, romance in these prosaic days is a gift of the gods given only to children and poets, a few women and lovers, and to the very bold. If you would claim the gift, monsieur, you must have some
thing of the nature of all of these. The sincere trust of the child, you must certainly know what this Is. monsieur.
The poet's imagination, his delightful power of make believe, you must not despise that. A woman's tenderness, and a lover's ardor, these, too. are necessary. And last of all, the daring of the hero." She had w hispered these rat hotcomprehensive attributes as 1 walked across the hall to the staircase, follow
ing the servant with my ha-; "A rather Urge bill, madam," I sug gested humoi lusly. "Oh. but I am serious, very seriom
I assure you that It is not sentimental

How One Company's Assets Are Distributed in the South and Weat. In connection with Its withdrawal from Texas, along with many other companies, rather than to submit to the new law which requires that 71, of the reserves on Texas policies shall be Invested In securities of that state, which securities shall be deposited la the state and subjected to heavy taxation, in addition to the large tax now Imposed on life insurance premiums, the Kquitable Life Assurance Society has made public the distribution of its assets, at the end of the second year of the new management. The Bsjultable now has $10.90,000 Invested in Texas, which Is twice as much as the new law requires, but the management decided that to submit to the additional taxation would be an Injustice to its policyholders In other states, which impose no such penalty on the thrift of their citizens. The Kquitable' report ahows that more than 37'0 of its total reserves are now invested In the southern and western states, while only 3Ln; of its total Insurance is carried In these states.

I had been drinking it for a long while and Mat) a Neteaea gradually appeared, until finally they became permanent and were about as dark as coffee itself. "I formerly had as fine a complexIon as i ii" could ask for. "When I bgenjga OOslllggad that coffee was the cause of my trouble, I chnnged and took to using Postum Food Coffee, and as I made it well, according to directions. I liked it very much, and have since that time used It in place of coffee.

on rare occasions; in fact isn far ns appears I. only here in the wilderness of Sin. and at Kihrot b llattaavah. in the wilderness of Paran iN'uni 11:31Ml. The gift of ihe quails came through natural means. like most of their food and ours. All our dally food Is the Rift of God. however much we may work for It ourselves It forever points us to Ood and claims our thanks. This kind of miracle, we believe, our Father is constantly working for his children. God lias made nature like a vast machine, and gone away and left It.
