tie iriu glad be bad beard the
word* from her owo Ups. It built up
a new comradeship between them and
made him more positive of tits triumph
over himself. A letter from Claire
helped him. His wife laughed at him
pleasantly for bis whimsical surges
tlon of a Journey around the world,
and then painted in her picturesque
and rtrld way the torture which she
knew such a trip would be for him
"Without your forests, your open
skies, your big outdoors, you would
die before we got half around. Paul,”
she wrote him. “It would be mercl
less of me to make you pay I d that
way for my presence up at the Mis
tassinL I am coming, and Just because
1 want to come I am antlcl|>ailng
seeing something very wonderful up
there, something which will mean
greatly more to you and me than six
months or a year rambling around the
earth. As for such a trip, with you
In It”—and then she went on to tell
him more about himself than he
thought she had ever known. The let
ter thrilled him. It gave him a new
vl9ioD of Claire, who nad never
analyred him lr this gentle and an
derstandlng way. portraying for him
the life which he loved as though It
were a part of berselt But In the
end, after assuring him again that she
was coming to him and was looking
forward to the time when they would
be together, she said her return to
America might be postponed until the
following May or June. Could be
wait that long?
Carla also received a letter from
Claire. It was Ailed with a womanly
tenderness and sympathy for one who
bad suffered a great losa, and was
filled with L e Intimate knowledge and
sentiment which could only have been
given md Inspired by Paul. Carla let
him read It. Her eyes were strangely
alight, though she nad prepared her
self to show It to him.
“You told me once that millions
could not buy sentiment." she said
“And millions could not bring what
has come In her letter.
It Is her
heart speaking to me.“
Carla became so deeply lbsorbed In
work outside of her school that he did
not talk with her again for a week
She formed evening classes, tn which
she taught English to the adults who
wanted to come to them, and the few
gpere hours of her afternoons were
spent among the mothers of her school
children. With the coming of winter
Paul buried himself m orj passionately
In the actual stress of outdr-or labor,
leaving hls office routine largely to
others, and the change benefited him
Carla, on the other hand, seemed to
have assumed too grear a burden Tbe
strain. If 1» were that, began to show
Its effect on her, nntll Lncy-Belle
noted It and remonstrated with Paul.
“Every day she Is growing less like
the Carla we knew before her mother
died,” she told him. “She Is breaking
under an effort to keep her mind
away from herself.
Yesterday I
dropped Into her cottage for a mo
ment when I knew sh»» was there, and
I found her crying. 8he la growing
paler, and It frightens me to see the
loveliness fading slowly out of her
face. You must do semething, Paul
make her drop her night classes send
her away for a vacation If you can
1 think 1 am the only one she confide*
tn at all. and I should not betray her
confidence—not even what I have
guessed aboot her. But something Is
eating at her life whl<h Isn't entirely
the losa of her mother. She Insists
that her night work Is a pleasure,
soys she Is feeling well and doesn't
want to go away
But I know of a
dream she has always had of visiting
her mother's country. If the company
could arrange something like that—"
Paul saw Carla the next day, a cold
Sunday with snow on ihe ground Fur
the first time In man? weeks they had
a long walk together, and at the be
ginning of It she settled any augges
Ilona he might have had In hls mind.
It was ns If she saw written In hls
face what Lucy Belle and said to him
She mentioned Mrs Derwent's visit
and told him what she had salt! about
her work, smiling the other's fears
away as absurd and without reason
and adding with a very deelalve little
note In her voice that to give up thla
work or go away, as Lncy-Belle Imd
suggested, was the last thing she
would Think of doing.
She had heard again from hts wife
It was her third letter, and came from
Capri, where she was spending the
winter, pnlutlng. Claire Imd sent her
a little sketch ol the vineyards and
the picturesque houses on tlielr ieck
cllffa. These letters. Carla said, would
always remain brightly In her mem
ories. they were so friendly and cheer
ing. She had answered them, and Imd
tried to tell Claire a little about her
own work, and of the glory and beauty
of the great forests and mighty rivers
near them. But she lacked the crea
tive soul which hls wife possessed,
and
could not adequately describe
them.
Paul knew that something of Cnrla's
real soul was gone even as she talked
to him
Hls own dragged heavily through
the
winter. Spring came, and hi*
days at the pit were almost over
August would see hls work ttnlsheO
He did not know wlmt he would do
then, he told Carla. Things were Imp
penlng in South America. He might
go there. Carla’s ftiture was settled
for another year. The government
had offered her a contract to remain
with the children on the Mlstnsslnl
and she had accepted
She hoped
that within a /ear or two she might
be able to find a place tn Peribonka.
near her mother.
Late In May Paul's wife sailed from
Cherbourg and, to hls surprise, was
coming »tralght to Quebec to join him
“That Is wonderful of her," said
Carla, her eyes shining with 'he light
which was always tn them when she
was thinking or speaking of Claire
“She la coming directly »o you I"
The day he left for Quebec he saw
her for a few moments to say good-by.
“1 wish 1 were a man—and you.'’
she said.
A radiance was In her face when he
left her.
That evening, at dinner, Lncy-Belle
said to her husband: “Carla's school
was closed this afternoon. Beryl told
me she dismissed the children because
she had a headaeba. We must go
over and see her."
“I have been there," replied Der
went. “I was a bit worried when one
of the hoys told me what had hap
pened. so I went over to see If she
needed me. and found her—crying.“
“Oh I" exclaimed Lucy-Belle. “Now
I chink I understand!**
She wild nothing more tn her bus
band about Carla llaldan.
CHAPTER VI
The crowning point of anticipation
in Paul’a six years of married life
was hls Journey to meet Claire. From
the Mistassini to lloberval, from Bob
erval to Metebeehewan, and from
there down to Chicoutimi, where he
took the cross-wlldcmese train to
Quebec, be built steadily to the vision*
whi-h the Increasing Interest and com
radeship In Ids wife's letters had
helped him to create during the long
winter. That she was not following
her usual precedent of going to New
York, but was coming to him. gave
him an emotional thrill wnich It had
not previously been bis happiness to
experience tn hls relationship with
her. He believed that for Claire to
divert herself in thla way from home
her own people, and a boat of friends
after an absence of nearly a year
that she might come to him In a
wilderness which she frankly detested
was almost dramatically significant ol
a change In her attitude toward him
It was the mystery of this change
which withheld from hls feeling the
one thing which might have made It
a real passion of expectancy and Joy
In none of her letters, which had
drawn her nearer to him than she hnd
ever been, had ihe spoken of love
Even In response to the wa.niest
of hie communications to her she bad
giveo him no definite satisfaction, ex
cept to write him In a way which
without openly avowing herself, drew
her closer to him, and gave to hi*
Ideals of her a glowing, fleshly reality
which excited and possessed him us hi
went to meet her.

Gazette, went to California last sum
trier and ate her first meal In a dining
car. "Yea, I wore my new kimono In
to breakfast,” she said, “and Ihe w-a)
everyone stared at me, they must have
thought It was pretty.”—CsDDer'*

GOOD THINGS TO EAT

fresh ones are ob
talnalde, they are

canned, though th«
c a n n e d ouea are
g o o d . Prepare a
snappy sauce ol
tomato c a t s u p ,

a few drepa ol

Serve the shrlui|ts In a cocktail glass,
sauce, glass and shrimps all chilled
Today one may purchase for a few
cents any nundier of kinds of good
soup. If one has a bit of stock which
has been made of leftover meat, bones
and gravy, add U to a can or two ot
the commercial stock, with such sea
aonlng as one likes and you will have
a different soup. A hot dish for the
first course or following the cocktail,
seems to be universally liked, for the
millions of cans of soup sold dally In
the markets are proof that It Is pop
ulnr.
One may, with the addition of
minced cooked vegetables, convert a
canned soup Into one that Is Individ
ual. A little rice, a little uspnragus,
a few spoonfuls of pens added to
bouillon or clear soups add to their
attractiveness as well as llavor and
nutriment.
Tomato soup Is one of the ennned
soups that hay a large repertorio as
a food It may be converted Into a
delicious meat or fish sauce tn a turn
of the hand. Poured over a meat loaf
It transforms It Into n delightful sur
prise. It may be added to the meut
when making a loaf with the egg or
cereal used as a binding omllted. Part
of the soup Is saved to serve as a
sauce with the meat. More cayenne,
a bit of onion Juice, or garlic, a grnt
tug of nutmeg or of lemon |>eel, all
adds variety to the tomato satire.
One of the most delightful of rare
bits Is made with tomato and cheese.

of the fruit, adding a beaten egg Just
before It Is poured over the toasted

Babies
CRY
Babies will cry, often for no

know what’s wrong, but you can
always give Castoria. This soon
has your little one comforted; if
not, you should call a doctor.
Don’t experiment with medicines
intended for the stronger systems
of adults I Most of those little
upsets are soon soothed away by
a little of this pleasant-tasting,
gentle-acting children’s remedy
that children like.
It may he the stomach, or may
be the little bowels. O r in the case
o f older children, a sluggish, con
stipated condition. Castoria is still
the thing to give. It is almost
certain to clear up any minor
ailment, and could by no possi
bility do the youngest child the
slightest harm. So it’s the first
thing to think o f when a child has
a coated tongue ; won’t play, can’t
sleep, is fretful or out of sorts.
