still with vague excitement, and he

ear;

be most wretched or most happy?"
She does not answer for a moment.
Then. as he opens her lips, Lady
Rookwell comes up to them,
"I hope yon have bad a pleasant
evening, my dear?" she Says.
Then she looks round,
"Where is Sir Frederic the Great?
Have you thrown him over the ter-

"I thought. so," she says, "I re-

ren, looking over his shoulder as he
offers Signe,' his arm and presses her
hand to his side. "Good -night, Lady
Rookwelle" and nothing can be more
eterelest and easy than his voice or his
smile.
But the name is so musical and po-
etical that it should call up visions
or ninny vineyards and cool. green
'olives, Jars upon Signa's ears, and
makes her shudder. 'In her mind's
eye she pletureti the figure .ot the
wicked Lord Delamere coming through
the pouring rain, with the • thunder
crashing overhead and the lightning
,playing about his pale, wicked face,
and the vision haunts her.
"I wish," she says, in a low voice,
and with an uneasy laugh, "that Lady
Regimen would try and forget Lord
Delamere for a little while!. She has
always smile story or anecdote to tell
concerning him, and each one makes
him blacker and less agreeable than
the former. I wish she would let us
forget that there is such a person."
And he looks up into his face with
a wistful little smile, half ashamed ot
her weakness.
•His eyes meet her glance weth an
intent look of smoldering passion, and

says, lightly:

STOMACH TROUBLE
The Common •Cause is Lack of Blood.

There is the most intimate relation
between the condition of the blood
and the activity of the stomech. The
blood depends upon the stotnach for
a large part of its nottrislement; while
the food•enters the stomach and is as-
similated by the blood needs plenty of
pure well -oxidized blood. Tne mus-
cles, glands and nerves of the stomach
woek only ecoording to the quality of
the blood.
The most common cause of indiges-
tion is lack of rich, red blood. Not
only does impure blood weaken the
muscles of the stomach, but it lessens
the product of the glands of the in-
testines and Stomach, which furnish
the digestive fluide. Nothing will
more promptly cure indigestion than
