Rising I<iirfti high above the mel low growl 'of the organ a voice floated out to his enraptured ears—a clear, thrilling, triumphant voice, singing Handel's stirring aria, "I Know That My Redeemer Liveth." "Iler voice, by all that is wonder ful!" he muttered, with an eager light in his eyes. "Surely I can't be mis taken. It must be the Easter lady!" He sat there with a rapt expression on his face until the portals of the church swung open and the congrega tion spilled out into the April sun shine, bringing color and animation to the scene. lie scanned the crowd with searching glances as it slowly melted away. The last to leave the church was the gray-haired rector, and walk ing by his side as he came down the walk was a beautiful young woman. Valdean's heart gave a bound as he looked at the girl. She was a dainty, willowy creature, her face lit up with bewitching smiles, her dark eyes sparkling vivaciously under her white plumed hat. "It is she," whispered the man In the automobile. "I never saw her in my life before, but I know it is she!" The rector and his companion came nearer. They were about to pass the car when the girl suddenly glanced up and stopped. "Why, this is my ear, I believe," she said blithely to the rector. "I'm to dine with Mrs. Camperdown, you know. Good-by, Mr. Itoden, and tell Mrs. Roden I shall see her soon." The rector lifted his liat with a pro found bow and walked on up the vil lage street, while the girl turned to Valdean with pretty assurance. "This is the Camperdown car, is it not?" In an instant Valdean was standing on the curb beside her, hat in hand. "Of course," he said glibly. "It is anything you wish. That is—er — Let me assist you, madam. Take this for ward seat, please, beside the driver." The girl was on the step when she hesitated, looked the car over doubt fully and turned a half-frightened face toward Valdean. Her cheeks were flaming. "Am I making a mistake?" she fal tered. "Not at all, I assure you," he stout ly protested. "I am Miss Drummond, you know?" "Certainly, madam." "Mrs. Camperdown wrote me that she would have her automobile wait ing in front of the church, but —I think —I know she said it would be a lim ousine." "The limousine is out of order this morning," lied Valdean cheerfully, as be gently pushed the girl into a seat and hastily occupied the one beside ler. "So it had to be this or noth ing. You will find it just as com fortable, I think." He put the car in motion, and it glided down the street with a soft, purring sound. "Now," he added, after a pause, "if you will kindly tell me which way I am to go—" "Which way?" exclaimed the girl. "Why, direct to the Camperdown farm, of course." "Yes, of course, but —but I haven't the slightest idea where that is, you see." The girl stared at him as if she doubted his sanity. "Perhaps you will be kind enough to tell me who you are?" she de manded, coldly. "Richard Valdean, at your service. My father is a well-known banker in the city—Sylvester Valdean, by name. Possibly you have heard of him. I was out for a spin in my machine, and happened to be in front of the church, and —and there was no other vehicle In sight, and—and you couldn't walk, you know—l could not let you walk —" He choked in his eagerness, and paused abruptly. "I suppose I ought to be terribly in dignant," she said, suppressing her merriment, "but really I cannot be oth erwise than grateful to you for this kindness. You are very obliging, lam sure. Besides, the mistake was mine in the beginning. Mrs. Camperdown lives two miles out in the country, and you are going in the right direction, Mr. Valdean." She hesitated a mo ment, and then asked: "Were you waiting for anybody at the church?" "Yes, I was waiting for you," he re plied, simply. "For me'" she exclaimed. "I heard your voice, you know— heard you singing that beautiful aria, and I stopped to listen. I knew it was the voice of th-j Easter lady, and I was waiting there to see you come out." "The Easter lady?" "You are not wholly unknown to me, Ml«s Drummond, although I con fess I never saw you until to-day," said Valdean, slowly. "Last, I chanced to be at St. Mark's chJrch in the city, and there I heard yo\ sing for the first time. I know it wa«\you, for I could not be mistaken in \the voice. I did not see you. nor wat I able to find out who you w*re or whe*e ynti lived, but your voice has haunted me for a whole year. In my thoughts, in my dreams, you have been known to me only as the Easter lady; but now—at last —" He checked himself, and deliberate ly began to turn the vehicle into a cross-road leading at right angles from the one they were following. The girl quickly laid a small gloved hand on his arm. "No, no!" she cried: "not that way. "Keep straight on. Mrs. Camperdown lives —" "Mrs. Camperdown can wait," said Valdean firmly as the car shot into the new road at an increased rate of speed. "I am not ready to take you to .Mrs. Camperdown yet. I have waited a whole year for this oppor tunity; do you think I am going to turn you over to Mrs. Camperdown so soon?" Miss Drummond sank helplessly back in her seat. He knew she was staring fixedly at him, and he half-ex pected an outburst of expostulation, but he did not turn his head. "Am I being kidnaped?" she asked at last; and the humorous note in her voice assured him that his bold move was being condoned. Valdean's face brightened with a quick gleam of excited pleasure. "Then you will let me drive you to town?" "Indeed it will be a great favor to me. I hope it is not asking too much of you." "Oh, I shall be delighted. And we can dine at the Red Eagle inn, which is directly 011 the way, and still get home before nightfall." The ice was broken; it was aston ishing how quickly these young peo ple arrived at a mutual and cordial understanding. liy the time the Red Eagle inn loomed up before them they were chatting as gaily and unreserved ly as if they had known each other for "Surely I Can't Be Mistaken." years. They dined cozily and happily at the inn, consuming much more time than was necessary in the perform ance, and then taking their places in the car once more, they resumed their journey toward tho city. "I was sure something portentous would happen to-day," said Valdean, enthusiastically, as they bowled along the highway. "And has anyihlng portentous hap pened?" asked Miss Drummond, curi ously "Surely. Nothing could be more significant than this chance meeting between you and me." "Rut —does it portend anything?" "To me it does. It holds a beautiful promise. It is the fate of the Val deans. Listen, Miss Drummond," and the young man became very serious. "Easter is strangely mixed up with the destinies of the Valdeans. My father met my mother for the first time on Easter day. My grandfather and grandmother first knew of each other's existence on an Easter morn ing and they were married the same evening. It was the tricksy spirit of that festival that brought my great grandparents together nearly a hun dred years ago. As far back as the record goes the member of my family have all met their affinities at Easier time. Will you contend, Miss Drum mond —Margaret—that our meeting to-day has 110 meaning for the future?" She gave him a quick, frightened look. Then the warm color streamed into her face and neck, and her eyes dropped. "Might it not mean," he continued with desperate earnestness, "that we are both controlled by the same fate that rules in the Valdean family. Might it not mean that you and I —" "Nonsense!" interrupted the girl, but her voice was very faint and trem ulous. "Will you let me hope, Margaret?" he whispered again. She slowly shook her head. "We have known each other so short a time," she protested. "We have known each other for five hours," said Valdean, looking at his watch. "What does it matter? It is fatu. At least, tell me that I may hope." She was silent a long time; but at last, she sighed softly and lifted her eyes trustfully to his. "Yes, I—l think you may hope- Richard.", CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1909. A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE Of Painting Requirements Will Save Much Expense. When one sees the surface of a house or other buildlnß scaling, or peeling, or spotted or blistered, or showing other symptoms of paint "dis ease," it is evident that a poor painter has been on the job, and that poor paint was used—or possibly that a good painter had been dominated by a property-owner who knew nothing about paint. It is an easy matter to be Informed on paint and painting. A complete painting guide, including a book of color schemes, either for exterior or Interior—specifications for all kinds of painting,—and an instrument for detecting adulteration in paint ma terial, with directions for using it, may be had free by writing National Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg., New York City, and asking for House owner's Painting Outfit No. 49. Then, every houseowner should make it a point to get only well known reliable brands in buying his materials. Pure white lead Is espe cially important, or the paint will not prove satisfactory. The famous "Dutch Boy Painter" trademark of National Lead Company, the largest makers of pure white lead, is an ab solute guarantee of the purity and quality of the white lead sold under it.

"About fifteen or eighteen years ago eczema developed on top of my hand. It burned and itched so much that I was compelled to show It to a doctor. He pronounced it ringworm. After trying his different remedies the disease increased and went up my arms and to my legs and finally on my face. The burning was something terrible. I went to another doctor who had the reputation of being the best In town. He told me It was eczema. His medicine checked the advance of the disease, but no further. I finally concluded to try the Cuticura Reme dies and found relief In tho first trial. I continued until I was completely cured from tho disease, and I have not been troubled since. C.
