That evening, because Thomson warns her that Granet is suspect, Geraldine breaks their engagement. The following day Granet calls unon Monsieur Guillot at the Milan Hotel and gives him a document from the Kaiser offering France a separate peace.. After Granet's departure Guillot, whose real name is Pailleton, is summoned to the French Embassy and commanded to convey a packet to CHAPTER XIV.--(Cont'd.) "It may be a little contrary to your wishes, my friend," the ambassador proceeded, "to find yourself so far from the throb of our great struggle, yet in these days we serve best who obey. It is the wish of those who stand for France that you should take that packet and board that steamer." 1 Pailleton began in some ©cover himself. He was ', bewildered. thing up hi. thrill, doesn't it, when and doing nothing, to read of things like this?" "You'll soon be at work again," she told him encouragingly. "I don't know," he sighed.

I "No, I am playing golf at Rane-lagh." "Might I call this afternoon?" "If you like," she assented. "After four o'clock, though, because I am staying out to lunch." "Thank you so much," he replied gratefully. She set down the receiver again and went back to the breakfast-room. "Captain Granet just wanted to congratulate us all," she announced, "and to know if he could come in to tea this afternoon." "Better ask him to dinner, my dear," the Admiral suggested hospitably. "He's a fine young fellow, Granet. Very thoughtful of him to ring us up." Lady Conyers made no comment. Geraldine was bending over her plate. The Admiral rose to his feet. He was much too excited to pursue the conversation. "I shall walk down to the Admiralty and see if I can get hold of old Wilcock," he continued. "If he won't ' g the old understand.

"I am a Frenchman," he proclaimed. "What I may do, I do for France." "You refuse my mission, then?" "I refuse it." The ambassador struck a bell upon his table. One of his secretaries promptly appeared. "Send Colonel Defarge to me atj^Twr once," his chief ordered. There was a brief pause. The ambassador was busy writing at his table. Pailleton, who was breathing heavily, said nothing. Presently an officer in French uniform entered.

"Geraldine," she said, very happy about you and Huf, "Why not, mother?" the girl ask< looking out of the window. "Perhaps because I like Hugh," Lady Conyers went on quietly, "perhaps, too, because I am not sure that you have done wisely. You haven't given me any reason yet, have you, for breaking your engagement"" Geraldine was silent for a moment. Then she came back and sat rug at her mother's feet. She kept her face, however, a little turned away. "It's so hard to put it into words, mother," she said thoughtfully, "only Hugh never seemed to give me any of his confidence. Of course, 1 ' very dull work, looking after tals and that sort of thing, but still, I'd have liked to try and take an interest in it.

"I ,. have asked him no end of questions, I want to know how it was done,"|,but before he has answered any of them properly, I find him trying to change the conversation." "Men don't like talking about the war, you know," Lady Conyers went on. "There was that nice Major Tyn-dale who was back from the Front the other day with a V.C. and knows what. Not a word would he say about any one of the fights, and he is cheery enough in a general way, isn't he, and fond of talking?" "Even then," Geraldine protested, "Hugh's work is different. I can understand why he doesn't like to talk about the wounded and that sort of thing, but he must have had 'Ship.'

To postpone or prevent the formation of a bunion, grasp the big toe and work it 'round and 'round in a rotary motion in order to loosen the joint; this can be followed by applications of iodine. For bunions which have already developed, use medicated bunion plasters. These give instant relief and in time will effect a cure.

He does talk about Captain Granet in the most absurd manner, you know, mother." "He may have his reasons," Lady Conyers observed. Geraldine turned her head and looked at her mother. "Now what reasons could he have for not liking Captain Granet and suspecting him of all manner of ridiculous things?" she asked. "Did you ever know a more harmless, ingenuous, delightful young man in your life?" "Perhaps it is because you find him all these things," Lady Conyers suggested, "that Hugh doesn't like him."

A solution of one tablesponful of turpentine and two tablespoonfuls of olive-oil, applied night and morning, may assist in the cure of the corn. If in caring for the feet you should unfortunately cut the flesh, bathe the wound at once with an antiseptic lotion. Forty parts of listerine to one part of carbolic acid is ,good for the purpose. When excessive perspiration is present apply the following powder, night and morning: Salicylic acid, 105 grains; powdered boracic acid, 350 grains; pure powdered talc, seven The perspiration which is accompanied by an unpleasant odor is really a disease known as "bromidrosis" and is difficult to cure. The feet should be bathed night and morning in water containing salt or alum. The stockings should be changed daily or even twice a day, and several pairs of shoes should be kept in use in order to allow each pair to be thoroughly aired and dried before being worn again. For the treatment of bromidrosis try the following formula, to be dusted in the shoes night and morning: Salicylic acid, one dram; boric acid, four drams; menthol, thirty grains; eucalyptol, j thirty minims; French chalk, four! ounces. Rub into a fine powder in a mortar (this should be done by a pharmacist). Many feel the need of a foot powder, and the above formula is excellent for the purpose. Seasonable Dishes. And there's the question cf col< The small woman need no>t worry hi head about it except, perhaps, match the color cf her eyes or choose a shade that brings out the lights in her hair.. But if- you are, stout, or your hips unusually large, or your back broad, or your arms big, watch out for slenderizing shades. Dark colors are less bulky and conspicuous, when made up, than light shades. Navy blue is nearly always safe choice. It's one of the popul: cotton shades, too. When the old woman wears a becoming navy-bli crepe or voile, she may have the satisfied feeling that it's the smart thi to do. Lovely browns and grays come both in silk and cottons. The older woman may even venture a medium green if it's a soft shade. I might be tempted to say, don't wear figures and stripes, if it that I have just seen such pretty small-flower-sprigged voiles and narrow-striped gingham tissues. The small figures and pin stripes add so little to comspicuousness that it is among these that the older woman may satisfy her desire for variety. They are so cool, fresh, and summerlike that, with a supply of them on hand, one wouldn't stop to envy the wearer of awning stripes, checkerboard blocks, blanket plaids, and cabbage roses. There is something else about this season's fabrics that ought to please the older woman: it's the softness of many of them. If you ai sure there is crepe de ch: crepe, or cotton crepe on your shop-g list. _ The Ena^Mhe^Wo^ld Problem Puzzles Professors. Mme. Curie, the discoverer of radium, believes that the earth, instead of cooling, is steadily getting hotter as the result of its store of radio-active substances, and a French colleague has calculated that if the mass of the earth contains two parts of radium in every billion, this would increase the temperature of the interior by 1,800 degrees centigrade in a hundred t the 200,000 ye estigatiens osion o£ t frc the atmosphc now, for his erosion and surface have led hi: end of the human ra rations.

To produce a rainbow there must be falling rain, bright sun, and dark clouds--the latter always opposite the sun. The sun't rays are then divided into colors by the raindrops, which act in exactly the same way as a prism, or triangular piece of glass. The continued span of a rainbow is caused by billions' of raindrops splitting the sun's rays into colors, and making a band or series of them. A double rainbow is not, as some think, the shadow or reflection of the :nbow is distinct. - In cue we see the s raindrops at the top, and reflecting the colors to the eye from the bottom. In the second rainbow the sun's rays enter the drops at the bottom, and reflect the colors from the top And who has noticed that the colors of the second bow are, when compared dth the first or primary bow, all reversed? The cause of this is the same that which makes the colors of the secondary bow weaker. To get the ir there has been two reflections-- more of the last than is the case with a primary bow. The colors are, therefore, weakened. An evening rainbow i: sign of fine weathe; which generally come nd south-west winds, The Minard's Liniment for Burr Good Fruit.
