Monty Fisher teV.s David train, and looked at from every point that Mary is not Nigel's vvidow. David „f view he cou'.d only see one explana- tion of it all. David was in love with Mary. Comparing the two womenâ€" his sis- ter and that other- â€" it se<?med almost an absurdity that any man cou'd pre- fer the quiet, almost subdued charm of the one, against the dazzling beauty of this woman lying hal-f a.s'.eep in the! shadwl light of the room. I He went across the room softly, and, | bfnding, laid a hand on her shoulder.! "Dora!" I She started up with a little stifled exclamation. "Monty! At last! I thought you were never coming. I've been waiting up for you. Wei"." â€" she looked up at him with a sort of querulous suspicion in her pretty eyes â€" "well, did you sea David and the wonderful sister-in- law?" "Yes." Rb? seemed not to notice the ourt- neiNS of his reply; she rose to her feet, says he had already found that out NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. "I will tel! you my thoughts if you will te.l me yours," he said. She tried to laugh. "I don't kn:>w what they were; they were not wjrth h:>ann}r. anyway." "Tell me, and let nii' judge." But she would not. "Then I will return good for evil, and tell you mine," h;* s.iid humor- ously. "I WHS thinking that I should iike to go on drivin;r like this forever â€" with you." Si em'e! Mary wondered if he could hear how her heart was beating; it •eemed an eternity before she could find her voice. "I am afraid the petrol would give out." she said flippantly. She hated hers?lf for the tone to which she had forced her voice, but shf was afraid of the trend the con- vert hIIikt was taking. She shivered a little. David looked down at her. I "You are col.i. Shall we go home'.'" : She wanted to say "No," but she , said "Y^r.r | Out here in the moonlight it was I hard, \ery hard, to remember every- thing she bad got to rememl)er. every- thing sbi' had got to force herself to do during the next litt'e while.

CHAPTER XIA'. THE TELECRAM. Monty of her She walked to the mantelshelf and took a folded paper that looked like a telegram from l>ehind a photograph 'frame; she unfolded it and handed it ! to her brother. Canada Kisher reached hom« "This came this afternoon ; it ie for â-  ! you, but I opened it, as 1 thought It i might Ik> important. What does it • mean?" I Fi.sher took the paper: It was the copy of a cablegram from a town in the Argentine: j "Please ask David Brctherton cable me two hundred pouiid.s. letter ex- ' plaining follows. â€" Dolly Durham." i He read it through with a mystifie<i I face. i "Who in the world Li Dolly Dur- j_* I ham?" he aske<l blankly. L/ry W.ra. shook h( r head; her eyes were very bright and excited. "I doi.'t know at al! ; your own clerk, Mr. Evans, brought it down from the 'ifilce an you were not there. He llviught it might l)e important, he .•'aid." She paufed, then: "Monty, are you sure that you don't know who fIk) is?" "My dear chi'd, what a (juestion! I've never beard of anyone of that nante in all my life. There is some mistake, of course." "You jnean that you think it is someone David knows- -someone he p»'rhap« met when he was abroad?" There was a sharp note of inquiry In her voice. Monty laugtted. "My dear child. David in the lart man in tho wor'H to give any woman the right to demand money from hla lilie thisi Why m« you kwking at am like tlwt?" "Bevauae," Bald Uor« delib*rat«ty, "Mr. Evans knows who «he is if yv\x <»onX" Fisher (Stared at her blankly. "Eviana! What on earth are y<m driving wt?" She shruggsd her shoulders. "He know A. I could sec by his fac« that he knew. I asked him, but he would teli me n<>thii>g â€" he will toU jwu." "I'm aure you are mistaken. How cnuld he know? He has only been in the office a few weeks, and he known naythit)^ of David's affalrn." But Dora was obstinate. "He 1hu>ws about thi«. I saw It tn his faoe; it was impossible not to Yim,y% eeen." "You are imagining it." "I Mleve you know more about It than you wil'l teM me. I hate beinfi: treated like a chiLd. If this woman le anything to David â€" " There was a suggeiition of an^fry tears In her voice. "Dora, I give yo^i my word of honor that I have never heard of the woman, and I don't believe that David haa either." &he Laughed ecornfujly. "Your word of honor! I wouldn't grive a flg for any main's word of honor." She walked out of the room, e!«mi- bing the door behind her. CHAPTER XLVI. OONG. Monty was relieved; he had dreaded being bombarded with questions as to what had happened down at the Red Orange. This audden strange incident had given him a little respite at ltoa«t. He sat down with the cablegram still in his hand. Dolly Durham! The n«Lme savored to him of the music ha'jl. He wonder- ed if, after all, Dora was right, and this woman were someone whom David had met during his travels. But it was useless to speculate; he put the paper carefully away, and went to bed. But bleep did not come. He lay awake wondering what was the mean- ing of it all â€" and what David i.itended doing about Mary Furnlval. Would Mary marry David if he ask- ed her? And did he mean to ask her? He could find no solution to the riddle. David had acted so differently from what one would have expected of him ; there was a personal soreness in Fish- er's heart. Was this woman to be al- lowed to come between their friend- sliip? He tried to keep the conversation away from the Red Grange during breakfast the next morning, but Dora was insistent. She a.sked a hundred questions al>out David. She asked how Mary had looked, and how she had behaved. Fisher answered them all awkward- ly; he wanted to spare her until he was sute <)f the truth, and yet he wanted iier to know of his suspicions. He said that Mary had had very little, to say. "She was always a quiet retiring sort of woman," he added, rather lamely. Dora laughed. "Yes, 1 know the kind; nothing to say when there is anyone in the room, but when she is alone with David, she makes up te bini for all she is worth " "Dora! She couldn't 'make up' to :invone, as you call it, U> save her life. • "Ob, couldn'.- she! That's all you know! ThosL' (|uiel, good-looking sort of w.>nien are alv.-ays the worst. Well, what did yo'j oo? Why don't you tell inci '--impatii.'.-.t y. "We didn't do anything. I was t!,f re such a short time. Da', id drove mc t'l the stitlon in tho cvynlng." "Alone?" "No. Mary cane, too." Dorr, sneered. "?ibo would' Sne knew it meant a drive back alone with him." Fisher made no an.swer. His sietei pushed her plate angrily away; pas- sionate tears stung her eye.'. "I hate her! She's trying to take my place." "She could never lake your place; you are so utterly different." (To be continued.) ♦ - . â-  . Mlnard's LInlmtnt for toothaehs.

Modern battlefields have been ter- rible scenes of slaughter, but In an- cient days a battle was a battle and the side that won promptly killed everything in sight, unless slaves were needed. The great battle that cut short the ambitions of the Persians to run the entire known world wae fought In yie,- taeae. In HoeoUa. In 479 B.C. One day In tluil year Xerxes left three hundred i 1 .n;siind soldiers there under Qeneral Alurdonlus, a great Persian general. His Idea was merely to frighten the laves out of the Greeks by this enor- mous display of fighh'ers. But the Greeks were not easily frightened and they marched up with fewer than one hundred thousand war- riors and spent the whole day letting blood. At dusk only eight thousand Pei^ Blans remained alive, and these eight thousand scooted from the Held of blood. The enthusiastic Greeks chaaed them as long as daylight lasted and as a result only seven hundred men, of nil the three hundred thousand, lived to get home and tell the tale. On that same day the great Persian fleet was sunk and Persia has kept quiet ever eince. 7V m iJL CJke Waist I that wouldn't wear out r' was an extra fine piece of aepe â€" It was never laun- dered with anything but Lux and luke- warm water â€" It wore and won ontil it went out of •tyle â€" % htp the wardrobe Fresh and Beautifnl nothina so aood as LUX LEVER BROTHERS LIMITED TORONTO J YOUTHFUL AND SX.ENDERIZINO IN LINE.

A large proportion ot the supplies, reaching this country la obtained from Lake MagadI, Kenya Colony, a stretch., of water fifteen miles long by four miles broad, which, even at the height of summer, has the api>earance of be- ing completely frozen from shore to shore. The effect is caused by the vast Quantities of carbonate of soda crystals that cover the lake's surface. The deposit is several inches thick; und«r it is a plentiful supplr ot water, but it Is Impregnated by sodium car- bonate In the same way that the Dead Sea waters are full of salt.
