And yet an uncomfortable ex- proasion passed over Mrs. Darn. ley's cold, haughty face as she said this to herself, an expression which deepened hit° something- almost iikc consternation, as the door was opened at that moment and ber maid announced: "'Mrs. Crawshaav." Mrs. Darnley put down her tea cup with a hand that trembled slightly, then rose to her feet. "Mrs. Crawshaw I" she repeated, as if doubting her ears; then suave- ly, "This is indeed a surprise!

Then she said in a low voice: "Your son has nothing to fear; he has done nothinesaishonorable ----your shame cannot touch him." Mrs. Darnley drew a ,deep breath. She had one more card left, she must play it without delay ; it was a cruel, a wicked act, but there was no otherescape from the net that was closing round her. , Bending forward, her face White to the lips. she looked at Nancy.

There is with some forms of stomach trcuble, an abnormal craving for food which is frequently mistaken fo1,a, "good appetite." A. lady teabber writes from Carthage, Mo.., to explain how with good food she dealt with this sort of hurtful hunger. "I have taught school for fifteen years, and. up to nine years ago had =rood. average health. Nine years ago, however, my health ba- zan to fail, and continued to grow worse steadily, in spite of doctor's prescriptions, and everything I could do. During all this time my appetite continued good, only the more I ate the more I wanted to eat—I was always hungry. "The first symptoms of my breakdown were a distressing nervousness and a loss of flesh. The nervousness grew so, bad that finally .it .amounIed, to actual pros- tration.
