I did as Mr. Frederick suggested and ordered the car. At first I thought I would call for Lorraine or some other freind, then I decided I did not care to talk, and would take my boy. He would chat ter right along paying no atttention if I did not answer. We had gone but a little ways when I saw sonmeone bowing to me, motioning at the same time. I told Thomas to draw up to the curb and greeted Mr. Rayburn whom I had not seen for a long time. “Where have you kept yourself?” he asked. “I have been to every blessed affair in the hope of seeing you. only to be disoppointed. Been busy with that wonderful house I ex pect. I hear it is gorgeous. “Yes, we think it very handsome. But really it is not the house which is to blame for my remaining at home. Mr. Forbes has been away a great deal lately, and I seldom if ever go without him.” “Foolish lady; Does he never go without you?” A meaning in his suave voice which I ignored, al though I felt myself flushing, and to cover my embarrassment I changed the subject by saying: “Can’t I set you down wherever you are going? Robert and I can easily make room for you.” My son was sprawled boy-wise across the seat. “Thank you, that will be an unex pected pleasure. I have an appoint ment at the club. But don’t let me spoil your drive, I have half an hour yet.” “Then we will go on around the park before we let you off.” I said as he took his seat. I had lifted Rob ert up and put him between us. “Is Mr. Forbes at home now?” he asked. “Yes, came back from the West last night.” “His business is porspering, I hear.” “Yes—but he works terribly hard.” I so wanted to add: and what else have you heard? “It doesn't pay to push one’s self too hard. To make money too fast.” “What do you mean?” I would draw him out. “Oh, that one misses a lot. En joyment, comfort, many things which mere money do not compensate us for.” “What difference if one gets their enjoyment in work, Mr. Forbes fair ly eats work.” I gazed intently at him as I spoke. I would give him every chance. If he had anpthing to say about Neil I wanted to hear it — and deny it. “Forbes is a wonderful fellow. Everyone says he is the cleverest money-maker in town.” I did not stop to consider or loow for double meaning in his words. He was prais? ing Neil, that was enough. I felt my lips curve in a smile. Even men recognized his ability. I had been ! silly, foolish, to listen to what Lor- ! raine and those women in the decor- j ator’s shop had said. Nothing ever ’ could come between me and Neil, nothing. Ever since I had first met him he had been all the world to me. j I should be proud that a man whom other men thought so unusual loved me. I was proud. Self condemna tion had me by the throat. The re- 1 vulsion from doubt and suspicion left me weak, and trembling. It gave me almost acute pleasure to note signs of happiness upon the faces of the people we passed. Here was a man, my husband, who was strenuously fighting his way to the high places of finance. And because he didn’t follow the beaten path, but hewed out a road for himself. I had been ready to blame him. "A penny for your thoughts,” Mr. Rayburn’s voice startled me. I had forgotten his very existence. “It is time we turned, Thomas the University Club please.” I dropped my whilom companion then went home. I found a message from Mr. Frederick. “If convenient I will call upon you about eleven to-morrow morning. I knew he was coming to tell me what he had done for me. I smiled to think how needless it was. My mood again had changed. No one could make me distrust Neil. To-morrow Whimsical Thoughts Keep Barbara Awake. Catarrhai Deafness Cannot De Curt a uy local application*, as they cannot reach 'he diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure catarrhal afnt ss, tnd that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining of r he Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine acts thru the bicod on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Medicine. Cir* ZUIFiTS free. All Druggists. 75c. F. J CHENEY & CO.. Toledo. O.
