Only French j eyes like wee Pierre's could have seen it pinned there hidden over his heart I think he wore it to give him n large courage for his mission that meant bread or starvation to so many of his people. "Ah. M. Ie Capitalne." I said to him, with a softness of tears in my I throat, "I would that there was some | little thing that 1 might do to serve 1 France. I do so long tcr go into those; awful trenches with that red cross or. my arm. as it is not permitted ! to me to carry a gun, which I can j use much better than many men now j handling guns with bullets against! the enemy. But it is necessary that| I obey the commands of my soldier father and take to a safety the small. Pierre." And as we spoke he walked beside me to the prow of the large ship so that to us was a view of the heaver.s of blue beyond which lay our America. • My child, there is a great service, which you can render France," he answered me as we stopped to watch the great white waves flung aside from the ship. "•France needs friends j In America, great, powerful friends ; who will help her in contracting for i food and all other munitions. AI beautiful woman can do much in j winning those friends. Tou go to your uncle, who is one of those in j power in a state in that fruitful val ley of the Mississippi from which I! hope that my lieutenant, Count de Bourdon, whom 1 sent on that mis sion, wil get many mules to carry: food to the hunry boys in the trench es when mud !s too deep for gaso line. Make of him and every one your friend and through you the j Iriend of our struggling country.' Tel! them of France, laugh with j ,them for the Joy to come when ; France, all France, with Alsace and | ; beautiful Lorraine, Is free, and make Jthem weep with you for her strug-1 'grles. Who knows biit that through • you may come some wonderful i strength added to your old country J from the new, whose blood runs in l your veins as well." "All of that I will do, mon cap-1 lt&ine, I so enlist myself." And as 1 spoke drew myself up unto the greatest height possible to me. "I j will be of the army that feeds rath- j er than of that which kills." "Mon Dieu, child, what is possible to you to do has no limit. Also I say. to you watch and be on your guard ' for aught that may harn France, j Jn America are spies. I have been] warned. Also there are those who j practice deceptions in contracts. It' is for the purpose to so guard that I come to America." "I also will so guard," I made an- i swer to my capitalne, the Count de' Lasselles. as we came in our walk Now Is the Time to Buy Your Shoes AT OUR GREAT JULY CLEARANCE SALE We've bad a wonderful business all this year, aiul in a great many instances sizes hate been depleted in various styles.

And after that first day there were many hours that the Capitaine the Count de Lasselles spent with little Pierre and the good Nannette as she sat knitting always with the sun on the water reddening her round cheeks, while I had much pleasure with many friends who came to me upon the ship. Upon Ihe arrival of the ship in port a rain was falling, and my friend of France was gone from me at the beginning of day in a boat that is called tug. Upon Nannette had fallen a rheumatism, and the small Piere wu in the midst of shiv ering chills when we at last were permitted by the very unpleasant officer of America to go from the ship. "Helas, it was all of the gold that he took from me for an entry into, this savage land, where one piece of I money is as five of that of France. There remains buta few sous and a gold piece." sobbed Nannette as she came from her interview with the immigration office, while I stood be side Pierre, deposited by a deck steward on a pile of our steamer blankets. "I beg your pardon,marquise, but her is a litter the dock steward fail ed to find you to deliver," came in the pleasant voice of one of my fellow passengers as he handed me a large letter. I took it and came with my head out from under the wave which had dashed over me. And this is the letetr that my epes read with astonihsment, while both the good Nannette and small shiv ering Pierre sat with their eyes fix ed upon my countenance: My Dear Nephew Robert—Tour arrival in America at this time suits me exactly. I need you immediately in my business. If you had been the girl, instead of the little one I would have had to dispose 'Of you some way—even murder. I have no use for women. Leave the little crippled girl and her nurse, who I feel sure is an old fool, with my good friend. Dr. Mason Burns, of 222 South Thirty-second street. He has cured more children of hip joint disease thaii any man in the wrold, and he will straighten her out for us, and we can give her away to somebody. I've written him instructions. Leave her immediately and come down here toriie on the first train. The deal is held up without you. Inclos ed is a check for SI,OOO. If you are like Henry you'll need It, but keep away from Broadway and the wom en. Come on, I say, by next train. Your uncle. ROBERT CARRUTHERS, Hayesville, Harpeth. CHAPTER 11. Vive la France, "The uncle of America has come to a confusion of the sex between Pierre and me from a careless mem ory and the writing of my hand, which is of a great boldness, but not to be easily read," I explained as I read the letter aloud to Pierre and Nannette. It took me just one hour by the clock, siting there on the .pile of steamer wraps with the small Pier re in the hollow of my arm to ex plain apd translate the sense of that letter to old Nannette, and I feel sure she would have been sitting upon that spot yet. immovable, rath er than let me depart from her if I had not put all of my time and force upon the*picturing to her of a Pier re who could come down with her later to me in a condition to me in a condition to run through the gar dens of Twin Oaks, which was the home of the American ancestors. With that vision constantly before her she let the porter and me insert her into a taxieab and extract her at. the door of the small private hos pital of the good Dr. Burns, who was to perform the miracle for the back and hip of small and radiant Pierre. "But what is it that I do to per mit the jeune fille of my beloved mistress to depart into this city of wicked savages and not attended by me? I cannot. Do not demand it!" were the words witb which I left her arguing with that very sympathetic and sensible doctor of America. He had not noticed a confusion of sex was between Pierre and me, and he had sent out the check of my wicked uncle and procured the American money for me. Also he had given me a few directions that he appeared to think of a great suf ficiency and had ordered a taxi to be in readiness for me. "Nonsense, nurse,he said to Nannette brusquely, but not with unkindness, when I had translated to him Nannette's weeping protests. "A great strapping girl like that can get down to the Harpeth valley all right by herself. Nobody's going to eat her up, and from the size of the biceps I detect under that chiffon I think she could give a good ac count of herself if anybody tried. How like you are to what Henry was at your age, child, God bless you! I'd go to the station with you, but I've a patient all prepared for an operation. Shall I send a nurse with you?"

Warren came in tired and wet to find a deserted apartment. The rain had been falling all day, and the fafct that he had forgotten to take an umbrella had not added to his material comfort. "Mary," he called from the dining room, "where is Mrs. Curtis. Funny i she's gone out on a day like this." "She expected to be back before now, Mr. Curtis," Mary returned, coming to the door in neat cap and apron. "I can't think what's keep ing her." Warren did not answer, but went into the living room and turned on all the lights. Somehow even their effulgence did not give the place the cheery, homey look it invariably had when he returned to it at night. It must be the weather, he reasoned to himself, and he flung himself Into a chair with the evening papers. But he was not comiortabie long. His shoes were wet through and they felt uncomfortable; besides, his throat began to feel raspy, and he wondered Irritably If he had taken cold. He got up restlessly and went Into the bedroom for his slippers. After he had changed he went back to the dining room. "You don't know where she went, do you. Mary?" "Why, yes, sir; she went to a lit tle school entertainment that they had over at the school where Miss Winifred goes." Warren nodded brusquely 1 and once more went back to the living room. "What on earth ails me?" he said out loud, after a few minutes, throw ing down the paper for the fourth time and marching over to the win dow. He did not stop to realize that Helen had not allowed him to come home and flnd her away since he could remember. No wonder the house seemed strange. Then sud denly he did think that the feeling might be due entirely to Helen, and he grinned sheepishly. There was a ring at the bell, and he hurried to the door and opened it himself. But it was only the delivery boy with his sui* from the tailor's. "WonJer If anything /;ould have happened to her," he growled, final ly. and picked up, with a feeling strange to him, a book of Helen's that lay on the table. Tt was one of a list that Mrs. Canders had Riven her, and Warren looked It through with raised eyebrows. That Helen could be Interested in such stuff <fid not seem possible to him, and that she had been reading to im prove her mind, of course, he did not know. "Funny how "empty the place seems to-night." he mused to him self. and then the doorbell rang again, and this time it was Helen, with Winifred hanging on her arm. "I'm sorry to be late, dear," Hel en said, raising her face to his as he came to meet them. "Did you have a good time?" Warren returned, without a word i TREATMENT ~ FOR NERVES Woman Tells How Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Helped Her. West Danby, N.

"Not wet, are you?" This solicitude was very sweet to Helen, and she responded gaily: "Not a bit, but it's damp in here. Have you been home long, dear? You oughtn't to be sitting in this damp room." Before Warren knew what was happening, Helen had lighted the gas logs and had drawn his chair up to their cheery warmth. "Run along in to bed, girlie," she called out to Winifred, "mother will be there in a moment." Warren watched her as she flitted about the room. She pulled the shades down, shutting out the dreary rain, she straightened something here, picked up something there. She pulled his ash tray near him, and then finally flitted off to her room, leaving behind her that at mosphere so unmistakable to a man accustomed to a home. The room was Just exactly the same, and yet it was not the same. It looked livable. "Gee!" Warren muttered to him self, "I wouldn't have believed it." And he settled down in his chair be fore the cheery logs and picked up the evening papers with renewed vigor. Helen came back in a few minutes and looked at Warren a moment. "Warren, does it hurt you to swal low?" she observed, looking at him closely. Warren loked up. "A little," he returned. "My throat felt scratchy when I came in to-night." "Then you've taken cold, dear. It's this awful weather. We'll have to ward it off with a dose of some thing. It would be just as well if you took it before dinner, too." "Oh, I don't need anything," War ren returned irascibly. "Don't start to be fussy now, you know I can't stand it." WAR TIME NERVOUSNESS " In these war times many people are living in an unnatural condition of nervous excitement. Unless some thing is done to correct it the inevit able result will be a neryous break down, an exhaustion of nervous en ergy that may take a yery serious and unforeseen turn. . Neurasthenia is one such result with its accompaniment of worn', irrita bility, oversensitiveness and severe headache. It means that the patient has lost the power to recover and store up energy. The condition will grow worse if not corrected. The treatment is one of nutrition of the nerve cells, requiring a non-alco holic tonic. As the nerves get their nourishment from the blood the treat ment must be directed towards build ing up the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act directly on the blood and have proved of the greatest benefit in many cases of neurasthenia. A ten dency to anemia, or bloodlessness, shown by most neurasthenic patients, is also corrected by these tonic pills.
