Increased stir In the Champs Elysees

forces Of Paris were beginning to eon-

con tra te again.
Paul Trafford woe . wondering what
!dna or seet,lon was preparing for
him. It was Just n year ago, her in
this very Travelers' Mob, • that Wilt-
4b1re had broached the subject of his
love for Paula. Trafford bad entered
on the winter which be had thought to
mak.° the happiest or Mg vieteriouri

he Wei lost his wife and wrought some
indefinable change between Ills (laugh.

Yea, there was a change. 'There

Trafford was not used to cloae aunty-

ed happy. She was often lively In her
•Iulvt way. She was tenderer and
,Iweeter with him than she had ever
been. She had borne the rupture with
Winship so easily that he had been
astonished. Ile could only think that
the scene in June, with Its brutal at

killed what she bed taken to be her
love for the Inan. Ail that had passed
or satisfectortly. And yet there was
this subtle differenee in her, this some-
thing. which Was just within range of
his perception. though it Wag beyond
his power to explain. In spite ef lier
nearness she seemed mysteriously

"If her eister. Jennie were to come

mg," he sometimes said to himself, "1
lon't suppose I should have a strange?

There seemed to Trafford but one
steam of bridging over the gulf that
otifl opened between the girl and cora-
mon life -that she should marry and
have children. It was Impossible, then,
for his mind not to go bach to Wilt-
shire. There was the man for her: It
svas a. million pities that she bad not
felt so herself. He Would have wetch-
ed over her and worshiped her. She
spoke of him often and always in a
strain of tenderness. Then, too. she

apparently she had not eared.
• "Lord, if it could only be brought

He was turning away from the Win-
dow to think of 'his lunch when be
was suddenly arrested by an incident
which • seemed to hint like an answer
, to prayer. Wiltshire himself was en-
tering the club. There Was' nothing
• remarkable in. the fact' beyond what
was, passing in Trafford's mind Wilt-
shire Was a member of the Travelers'.
and it was natural that he shoeld be,
In Paris at just that time ef year. But
Trafford could not see it so. Long ago
Lie would have called it one of his
lucky chances. Now he could only
feel that Wiltshire had been "sent."
. The two men Eshookbands with a
.sincere effusion whichmeant more
than pleasure in each other's coMpa-
ny. Each was an actor in the other's
drama, and the interrupted playcould.
begin 'again. •
"This Is luck," Wiltshire exclaimed.
"1 thought you were in America."
"I meant to go, but I didn't I found
that George could leek after what Was
to be. done just as well as t. He's,

"I should like to, In Ie meantime

-we ---- • • - - • -
"AM right, but not here. There'd be
too many fellows interrupting us."
In Trafford's tone there was a -hint
ofconfidence's to be exchanged to
which the duke was not Insensible.
• "Let's go to Henry's," he suggested.
•"That's'•where they .feed you best .just
It was in the minute. 9r,going out

had produced in his companion.
"By George. he's improved!" Tref-
ford said to biniself. • "I ,believe Paula
would see it. He'S better looking, and
he's smarter, and he's gpt. an -expres-
sion hi his face that was never there

' wPader what's aged him so?"
iltshire was asking silently.. "He's
grown old in half a year. He looks
like a , man .who's had some .great
shock. • I suppose It must have been
Mrs. Trafford'S death."
The scrapS or conversation after
they had ordered lunch Were as the
tuning of the fiddles to the playing of
the piece. Wiltshire talked of his trip
to the Cape and gave his views on
South Afriea. He shifted to the Dolo-
mites. where he had been in Augast,
and passed on to tell of a. few days'
shooting he had just had in Hungary.
• "Novi I'm on my way hbme. to
slaughter birds at Edenbridge.. I sup-
pose Alice atid I must have some 'peo-
ple there." -
"1 expect you're very keen. on it,"

WIltShlre, 'I always thought yoU gave

PURIFIED HIS ROOD
•
Dr. Morsoio Indian Root PI110
HisaJosi Mr.. Wilson's Soros
When the sewers of the body-howela,
kidneys and skin ducts -get clogged up.
the blood quickly becomes impure and
frequently sores break out over the body.
The way to heal them, as Mr. Richard
Wilson, who lives near London, Ont.,
found, is to purify the blood, He
writes:
"For some time I had been in a low,
depressed condition, My appetite left
me and I soon began to suffer from indi-
gestion. Quite a number of small.sores.
and blotches formed all over my skin.
tried medicine for the blood and used.
many kinds of ointments,
but without.
satisfactory results. What was wanted'
was a thorough cleansing of the blood;
andI looked About in vain for some medi-
cine that would accomplish this.
At last Dr, Morse's Indian Root Pills
were brought to my notice, and they are
one of the most wonderful mediemesa
have ever known. My blood was puri-
fied in 'very short time, sores healed up,
my indigestion vanished. They always.
have a place in my home and are looked
upon as the family remedy."
Dr. Morse's Indian Root l'ills cleanse,
the system thoroughly. Sold by all
dealers at 25e a box.

A bank man says : '
"Although automobiles are not sold
on the mortgage basis openly, to a.
Considerable extent the country is be-
ing mortgaged to buy automobiles.
• 'an the West more than in the Eadt
people have been giving their notes in
part payment for automobiles and thee
selling agents have- been negotiating
these notes with the banks. • .
• "Our bank, after investigation„
stopped taking what we call in
West 'automobile' paper,' ' -
"We found that 90 per cent. of the•
people buying automobiles with notes.
had no proper basis for credit, and
could not afford to operate an auto -
Mobile much less buy it. .
• "The automobile business is far-
reaching in • its effect. The central
manufacturing West is getting the
money. When •you see an automobile- ,
numbered above 20•,000, you can figure/ -
that more than $40,000,000 of the
