Dean, with a rueful glance for the thickness of the manuscript, had begun by skipping and slurring génerally, but she soon stopped that, and commandéd him to read every word. And while the rain stopped falling and the spring day brighten- ed he read on and on, his voice gain- ing confidence and power, his points making themselves one by one-- He remembered it all with a thrill that seemed to hini the beginning of a new life of wonder and emotion. It was all new and unclouded ,all ex- Mquisite and bright with promise. The wonder of this day would never quite "repeat itself, he knew, 'oven though honor and achievement lay ahead. But to Dean, walking, walking, walking, the whole mira- cle seemed but beginning. Well, she had liked his play. Ac: tress that she was, she was not act- fag when his words made her catch her breath, when his climax brought the tears to her eyes, She was not all geting, at least, when she sprang up, at the very end, and caught his hands and looked straight Into his eyes with a laugh of triumph and de- light. Ah, that was a great moment to remember----that was a great moment to réemember-- Ills footsteps had turned, rather without his own volition, toward home. But he remembered that Linda and Clem and the boys were to be there to-day, and he did not feel inclined to join the noisy family group. He thought of the club, too, but the Waites had taken Ken- nedy Bond there, and his'following her would savor of anti-climax. He took another street turning, "and went on and on, in the heartening sunshine.

A fine, faint frown darkened his handsome forehead; he and Geraldine had been entirely out of sympathy for a long time now, and he felt a sort of Impatient weariness whenever he thought of her, Sometimes he had long conversations with his wife in bis own mind, and they were always recriminating conversations, full of exchanged grievances and reproach- es, He entered upon such a con- versation now. But it did not last long. In upon it came ficoding the buoyant current of his memory of this moming's talk. Kennedy Pond had believed in him. When ha had somewhat bashfully asked for a summary of her opin- ion, she had dismissed the necéssity of giving it, briefly, almost impa- tiently. She had implied that he must leave Stockham, of course, and the motor business, of course. Upon his smiling assur@ince that he had finan- cial responsibilities, she had shrug- ged. > "If IT can come to New York, at twenty, unknown, with no money-- and no gift like yours, Mr. Laird, re- member that;" she had reminded him, "~--~don't you think a man might dare it? I'll simply have to leave that to you. I'll take this--and this --if you'll let me ?~~to the city, and show them to a manager or two there. This one you must char ce, and with this we can't do anything --now, anyway, whén we have so much ebg@ to do. This is Sunday--I go home Thursday or Friday. Now, can't I telephone you some day this week and go to lunch with you?" "Any day!" he had answered in- stantly. "Tuesday?" "No, we'll not set it, darling. That's wicked and unprincipled; that's hav- ing a date with a married man," Miss Bend had said, with a momentary re- turn to her manner of yesterday, "but I'll telephone you, and then you won't know anything abolt it, at breakfast, and at dinner you can say that that ONTARIO Public School to Second Dil ER A FEW ADVANTAGES A City Country School. 28 miles from Toronto, 0 Gymnasium.

"Then 1 go home," she had mused, business-like again, "and in about this is the selling season, you see-- in'about a month you ought to come and have tea with me in South Wash- ington Square, I'll introduce you to a few of the guard, and we'll have some dinners and things; and talk to producers." "What a woman!" he said to Him- self again. j He had always wanted to write plays, in his quiet way----this woman saw it clearer, m her twenty-four hours' knowledge of him, than many of his old friends ever would. For Dean was rather a silent, reserved fellow, and admitted few men, and no women, to his infier heart of hearts: His wife, he thought to-day, might easily have been the cJief re- cipient of his confidences. But Ger- aldine's interest in his writing was chiefly because hig gift had some- times been put atWhe service of the various charities in which she was interested.

Every muscle in the body needs constantly a supply of rich, red blood in proportion to the work it does. The muscles of the back are under a heavy strain and have bit little rest. When the blood is thin they lack nourishment, and the result is a sen- sation of pain in those muscles, Some people think pain in the back means kidney trouble, but the best medical authorities agree that backache sel- dom or never has anything to do with the kidneys. Organic kidney disease may have progressed to a critical point without developing a pain in the back. This being the case, pain in the back should always lead the sufferer to look to the con- dition of his blood. It will be found in most cases that the use of Dr. Williams" Pink Pills to build up the blood will stop the sensation of pain in the ill-nourished muscles of the back. How much better it is to try Dr. Williams® Pink Pills for the blood than to give way to unreasonable alarm about your kidneys. If You suspect your kidneys, any doctor can make tests in ten minutes that will set your fears at rest, or tell you the worst. But in any event to be per- fectly healthy you must keep the blood in good condition, and for this purpose no other medicine can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. ht You can get these pills through any dealé® in medicine, or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 m The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., roekville, Ont. life-saver.
