THE LAPSE OP ENOCL WENTWORTTH By ISABEL GORDON CURTIS, Author of "'lite Woman from Wolvertons" CHAPTER XXIV. More than one "summer shag" had hegun to blazon an all,aring sign over the door of ei Broadway theatre be- fore **The House of Esterbrook" elos- ed its season. The fame of the play had gene abroad through the country, and night after night, long after the residence part of New York showed a labyrinth of boarded fronts, every seat in the Gotham was sold before the curtain went up. The house was packed to the roof ea the night the play dosed. It was the middle of June and the city had grown uncomfortably hot '1 ent- held her hand between his own gave her courage and hope. She rose to her feet and he led her to the window where she sat down and looked out into the dark, quiet square. Out of her memory rose the thought of an Dorcas sat perfectly still with her arms lying on the desk. Merry bent over and gently touched her cheek.` "Oh!" she shrank away from him with a shuddering cry.

They followed the woman swiftly., Enoch's eyes sought hers with piteous e pleading which was almost agony. She bent to kiss him. His gaze traveled to Merry and the agony seemed to change to peace. "You saved his life, Enoch," she whispered. Andrew laid his fingers gently upon the nerveless hand which. rested out- side the sheet. The eyes of the two: men met; in those of one was a mute' prayer for forgiveness, in the other's shone gratitude and the old affection grown steadfast. Enoeh's lips moved. Ile was trying to speak. Dorcas laid her ear close to his mouth. "Ile wants his keys," she said quick- ly. The nurse left the bedside and re- turned with a bunch of small keys strung upon a steel ring. Dorcas laid them in her brother's hand. It was pitifully inert! She lifted them and ran them through her fingers, one by one, as a Chatolic tells her beads in a rosary. Her gaze was fixed upon his eager eyes. When she touched a ON THE FARM. The Gas Engine. Few practical farmers would listen to a salesman who offered bhem, at any price, a hand -power feed grinder. The same men will go to town, purchase a washing machine so large that it would almost stall a one-half horse-' power engine to run it. Do they think where the power to run this ma- chine is to come from ? (True it is that some men run them, but not al- ways). No, they take it for granted' that it is so far ahead of the old method that the wife or hired girl should be satisfied to turn the the crank, or work it back and forth in whatever the prescribed method may be.

As you plan the parcel for HIM who is dear to you, don't forget that Gillette shaving equipment is just as keenly appreciated on active service as are sweaters, mitts and "eats". If he already has a illette Razor send him a generous supply of Gillette Blades, for probably he is sharing the razor with his pals who are not so fortunate. Clean shaving is in high favor among our troops because it is sanitary—because it makes the dressing of face wounds easier—but most of all because of its bracing effect. The Gillette is best for the job—and the man who has one is most popular in his platoon. Whatever else you put in his Christmas box, be sure there's a Gillette Safety Razor or a supply of Blades.
