That Cousin Agatha was in the state characterized by picky, as "be ing on the war path" ii saw by my first glimpse of her as she emerged from my mother-in-law's room. I knew that she. must be furiously an gry at Katie for the language the girl had used to her, and .had won dered what course she would pursue. Before she began to speak I Baw wiiat her tactics would be. Years of posing had enabled her to control her emotions to a remarkable de gree. She meant to preserve her usual martyr air when jspeaking of Katie 'to convey the idea that her only motive in coming to me was to do me a kindness, to warn me of the viper I was cherishing in myi BAD BREATH Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets Get at the Cause and Remove It 1 Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets, the sub ttitate for calomel, act gently on the bowels and poatively do the work. -u People afflicted with bad breath find ?ack relief through Dr. Edwards' Olive ablets. The pleasant 6U gar-coated tablets are taken for bad; breath by , all who know them. I Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets act gen tly but firmly on the bowels and liver, stimulating them to natural action, clearing the blood and gently purifying the entire system. They do that which dangerous calomel does without any of the bad after effects. All the benefits of nasty, sickening, griping cathartics are derived from Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets without .- rriping.painor any disagreeable effects. Dr. fTm.

I wondered if she had told Mother Graham of her encounter and quickly decided that she hadn't. 1 had seen that for some reason Cousin Agatha stood somewhat in awe of her autocratic relative. She proba bly hadn't cared to inform my mother-in-law that she had become in volved in a vulgar controversy with my maid within half an hour of her arrival in my home. She eidently did not stand in the same awe of me. A wave of remem bering bitterness, tinged with sar donic amusement, swept over me. Katie's verdict of long ago was a just one. 1 was "too easy.".

"You may," I returned, and I did n't put any cordiality into the an swer. I threw open the door of my room and beckoned her in, closing it after us. "We are moving, as you see," I paid, "so you. will have to excuse the appearance of this room. . Will you be seated?" "No, thank you," she returned. and I saw that she had caught the coolnes of my tone. "What I have to say to you will take but a minute or two." She paused evidently to let me make some rejoinder. I saw that she knew the value of letting an an tagonist do most of the talking; but as I had the same knowledge I kept my lips firmly closed and she was compelled to go on. 1 'A Painful Duty! "It is a very painful duty I have to perform, Mrs. Graham," she said, and I recognized the whine of the tone. "I have been in your house only half an hour, and yet I have dis covered something about your maid which I am sure yon, don't know. The girl has been deceiving you shamefully.

She had all the smugness of the cat that has Jest succeeded in a raid on the cream dish as she finished. I almost fancied I could see her lick ing her lips. A sudden desire to pierce her- self-satisfied armor seized me. When I spoke I didn't recognize my own voice it was so frigid. ; "Well, you have discharged your duty," I said, "so your conscience must be at rest. And now I must ask you to excuse me, for I must get this room ready for your occupancy. If I don't hurry, you will have to share Mother Graham's room." Surprise, outraged petty authority. vindictive anger gleamed through her suddenly narrowed lids. Her tones lost their purring smoothness. were harsh, tempery, as she answered me.
