CH,A.PTER XII.
Still thinking of Nance Grey, Ber-
nard Yorke went up the staircase to
Lady Winshiro's ball -room. The
countess, standing near the door to
receive her guests, • greeted him with
her genial smile.
"I said "early,' 'Ma Yorke," she
torrid, "But better late than never,
though you don't deserve -to get a
dance."
"I'll go away again, if that will
atone,. Lady Winshire," he said.
"Oh, you'd better stay now you.
, are here!" she retorted, with !lee
pleasant laugh; anti he passed on.
The ball -room was full, a waltz in
progress,
Bernard sauntered about, on the
edge of tae revolving couples, note:
ding to ono another, and looking
round rather absently,:
Presently k'elicia• Damerel• passed
him. She was dancing with Lord
•Stoyle, and looked superbly , hand-
some in the "Worth" dress, and I3er-
nerd noticed and admired the antique
lace 'with which it Was adorned, lit-
tle guessing that Nance Grey's heads
had arranged it. . . •
The beauty saw him, and suddenly
her eyes, whkh a moment before had
been rather hard and cold, lightened
and 'softened, and the color rose to
her face as she nodded to him with a
smile.
As she did so, Bernard, all uncon-
sciously., found himsellecomparing her
with the girl whore. ,he had snatched
from ander the cab, and Felieia
Damereas beauty, rich as it was,
paled before tile saveet loveliness of
Nance Grey. .
He was not In the humor for dart-
ciag, and he joined a group in ono
of the recesses, and entered into, the;
conversation.

quietly, "MY mother died when

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the san,e
and seed may seen the s-une
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care. but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak,
Scott's Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
I does not feed.
Scott's Emulsion really feeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
