"Are you going away, sir' I am sorry," the maid said ,almost in- voluntarily, "oh 1 I am sorry, sir!' There was such genuine disap- pointment in Baines' voice that Mr. Darnley stood sheat for a moment, and then made a gesture for the woman to follow him downstairs. "You have something on your Mind, Baines," he said, when they were alone in the hall. "What is it—speak out --you are nig afraid of me, surely "I only meant as. Miss Dorothy would miss yon, sir."

Life Insurance Companies will not insure a man suffering from heart trouble. The reason is obvious. This is a' serious matter to the husband or father who is s-oliciti- ous for the future' of his dear ones. Often the heart trouble is caused. by an unexpected thing and can be, corrected if taken in time and "Properly treated.` A man in Color- ado writes: "I was a great coffee drinker for many years, and was not aware of the injurious effects of the habit till I became a. practical invalid, suffering from heart trouble, indi- gestion and nervousness to an ex- tent that made me' wretchedly mis- erable myself and a nuisance to those who witnessed my sufferings.
