Pierre was fierce and fat and 40, but ' he could cook the most wonderful ! roasts and ragouts that Warburton !

ever tasted; and he could take a handful of vegetables and an insignificant bone and make a soup that would have tickled the Jaded palate of a Lucullus. Warburton presented himself at the kitchen door. "Ah!" said Pierre, striking a dramatic pose, a ladl in one hand and a pan in the other. "So you are zee new groom? Good! We make a butler out of you? Bahl Do you know zee difference between a broth and a soup? Eh?"

A moment later she Issued forth, accompanied by a gentleman in evening dress. It was too dark for -Warburton to distinguish his features. "I am very sorry, Count, to leave you; but you understand perfectly. It is an old school friend of mine whom I haven't seen in a long time; one of the best girl friends I have ever known. I promised to dine with her to-night, but I broke that promise and agreed to spend the evening." Do not disturb yourself on my account." replied the man In broken English, which was rather pleasant to the ear. "Your excellent father and I can pass the evening very well." Karloff! Warburton's chin sank Into his collar and his hands trembled. This man Karloff had very penetrating eyes, even in the dark. "But I shall miss the music which I promised myself. Ah, if you only knew how adorable you are when you play the violin! I become lost, I forget the world and its sordldness. I forget everything but that mysterious voice which yotfilone know how to

So she played the violin, thought the unhappy man on the box of the coupe. "Count, you know that is taboo; you must not talk to me like that," with a nervous glance at the groom. "The groom embarrasses you?" The count laughed. "Well, it is only a groom, an animal which does not understand these things." "Besides. I do not play nearly so well as you would have me believe," steering him to safer channels. "Whatever you ur.u.-rtale, Mademoiselle, bc-orae.- at 0110 an art," gallantly.

Warburton longed to ; t out into the open and yell. It was very funny. He managed, however, on third rehearsal, to acquit himself with some credit. They re- . turned to the kitchen again where they found Celeste nibbling crackers and cheese. She smiled. "Ha!" The vowel was given a prolonged roll. "So, Mademoiselle, you haf to come and look on eh?" "Is there any objection, Monsieur?" retorted Celeste in her native tongue, making handsome eyes at Warburton, who was greatly amused. "Ha! If he was hideous, would you be putting on those ribbons I gave you to wear on Sundays?" snarled Pierre.

around the side and stored at o-e of the windows. The curtain was not wholly lowered, and he could Bee into the drawing-room. They were there, all of them; and Miss Annesley was holding the baby, which Mrs. Jack had awakened and brought down stairs. He could see by the diffident manner in which Jack was curling the ends of his mustache that they were comparing the baby with him. "The conceited ass!" muttered the self-appointed outcast; "it doesn't look any more like him than it does like me." Here Miss Annesley kissed the baby, and Warburton hoped that they hadn't washed its face since he performed the same act. Mrs. Jack disappeared with the hope of the family, and Nancy got out a bundle of photographs. M'sleu Zhames would have given almost anything he possessed to know what these photographs represented. Crane his neck as he would, he could see nothing. All he could do was to watch. Sometimes they laughed, sometimes they became grave; sometimes they explained, and their guest grew very attentive. Once she even leaned forward eagerly. It was about this time that our jehu chanced to look at the clock on the mantel, and immediately concluded to vacate the premises. It was half after ten. He returned to his box forthwith. (I was going to use the word "alacrity," but I find that it means "cheerful readiness." After what seemed to oim an Interminable wait, the front door opened and a flood of light blinded him. He heard Nancy's voice. "I am sorry, Betty, that I can't dine with you on Monday. We are going to Arlington. So sorry." "I'm not!" murmured tbe wretch on :he box. "I'm devlish glad! Imagine passing soup to one's sister! By George, it was a narrow one! It would have been all over then." "Well, there will plenty of times thi:; winter, " said Betty. "I shall see you all at the Country club Sunday afternoon. Ctood night, every one. No, no; there's no need of any of you comln;; to the carriase." But brother Jack did walk to the tloor with her; however, he l awe net the s!i,;li!ea-.t attention to the vroom, or which lie was eratel'r.l. "You must all coiae at:d ap' nd the cveuii.t; with me soon," ;-;aid Betty, entcne.'a the carriaire.

"I knew no one, for four weeks, when I was sick with typhoid and kidney trouble," writes Mrs. Annie Hunter of Pittsburg, Pa., "and when I got better, although I had one of the best doctors I couldl get, I was bent double and had to rest my hands on my knees when I walked. From this terible affiietion I was rescued by Electric Bitters, which restored my health and strength, and now I can walk as straight as ever. They are simply wonderful."

Tho ' gods were with him this time and no one called him to halt. When he had gone far away from Scott Circle as 1 he dared go, his eye was attracted by a genial cigar sign.

"You are crazy!" roared Pierre. "You Introduced me to her so that you might make eyes at that abominable valet of the secretary!" Celeste flounced (whatever means of locomotion that Is) abruptly from the kitchen. Pierre turned savagely to his protege. Go! And eef you look at her, idiot, I haf revenge myseir. Oh, I am calm! Bah! Go to zee stables, cattle!" And he rattled his pans at a great rate. Warburton wa3 glad enough to escape. "I have brought discord into the land, it would seem." But his trials were not over. The worst ordeal was yet to come. At five, orders were given to harness the coachhorses to the coupe and have them at the steps promptly at eight-thirty. Miss Annesley had signified her intention of making a call in the city. . Warburton had not the slightest suspicion of the destination. He didn't care where it was. It would be dark and he

chance was well-grounded in him, as it is in all army men. But he hurried out, threw the boy a dime, and drove away. For an hour and 20 minutes he drove and smoked and pondered. So she played the violin! played it wonderfully as the count had declared. He was passionately fond of music. In London, in Paris, in Berlin, in Vienna, he had been an untiring, unfailing patron of the opera. Some night he resolved to listen at the window, providing the window was open. Yes, a hundred times Chuck was right. Any other girl, and this jest might have passed capitally: but he wanted the respect of this particular woman, and he had carelessly closed the doors to her regard. She might tolerate him, that would be all. She would look upon him as a hobbledehoy. He approached the curb again in front of the house, and gazed wistfully at the lighted windows. Here was another great opportunity gone. How he longed to dash into the house, confess, and have done with it! "I wish Chuck was in there. I wish he would come out and kick me good and hearty."

street, says: "My back hurt me nearly all the time and there was a constant dull pain through the loins just over the kidneys. The secretions were irregular; I could not rest well at nights, but kept turning over as often as a dozen times at night. In the mornings I felt stiff and sore all over and there was also spells of dizziness. I tried different medicines, but did not get any better, and seeing Doan's Kidney Pills recommended, I got a box at A. G. Luken 's drug store and started to take them. I soon noticed an improvement in my condition. My back was stronger and the secretions became normal and regular. Doan's Kidney Pills did me a lot of good and I highly recommend their use to anyone troubled as I was." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
