The Merry Widow By ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNE COPYRIGHT. 1008. BY HENRY W. SAVAGE CHAPTER IV. The Waltz. I ANCE with me!" repeated So nla. The faroff orchestra bad struck up a dashing, guy Mursovlan air. Impelled by the mush! and her glauce of daring. Danllo sprang forward. In an Instant the two were whirling madly amid tho Intricacies of a wild Russian dance such as has for count less centuries been performed from Si beria's lco plain to Tartar steppes?a dance of youth, nglhty, utter aban don. Yet as they came panting to a halt at tho last crashing note of music tho face of neither reflected the cxhllura tion the swift motion and stirring measures usually evoked. In fact. Da uilo's brow won? a very perceptible ?cowl. Sonta, too, was downcast. Had her rash experiment failed? "You didn't enjoy that," suld she. "Not especially," ho confessed. "Did you?" "No. You don't dance as well as you did." "You've probably grown to prefer French partners," he replied, piqued at the reflection on his dancing. "From all I hear." she retorted, "you have little right to reproach me on that score. You dance a good oeal at Maxim's, don't you?" "Now and then," he admitted. "And with what sort of partners. I wonder?'' she scoffed, a touch of scorn in her sweet voice. "With polite ones," said Danllo Icily. She winced ever so little at the re proof and went on. "I suppose you dance hotter with them than with me." "Possibly," he agreed. "You see. I, too, may prefer French partners." She raised her great dark eyes ;o his, a world of meaning in them. "Do you?" she asked, almost In a whisper. The distant orchestra had been play ing again, this time not a native air, but a dreamy, Infinitely sweet Vien nese waltz. The opening notes of the haunting melody, though softened by distance, were wafted none the less distinctly to the listening couple. Again their eyes met. With a mutual Impulse they drew toward each other. Then began a dance as different from the stlflly conventional ballroom waltz as moonlight differs from a gasoline tlare. With more than a hint of tho free, niarvelously graceful poses of Slavonic dancers, Danllo and Soniiv be gun their wondrous waltz. Throwing herself back Into tic strength of his circling embrace, the girl's outstretched arms swoyed like wind blown lilies in rhythm with the music, her light step scarcely touching earth as the prince guided her through the mazes of the dance. It was a strange, dexterous blend of east and west, of lissom oriental pos turing and of gliding, modern waltz stops the very poetry of motion. Nor from the tirst note until the last strain of music died away did either dancer's eyes leave the other's. Love, eager and eternal, was in the gaze of each. Eyo said openly to eye "A lady ucnt Into the summer home with a gentleman." what sullen pride forced hack from the lips. Then a lust dreamy chord and the music was hushed. Danllo ami Konht started, amazed, as though from some vision of paradise. The widow, fearful lest by Impulsive word abo might wreck her plan of bringing Danllo to her feet, darted breathlessly nway to welcome a new group of guests. The prince, left alone, stare4 after her, open mouthed. A clapping of applauding bands aroused him. "Bravo, bravo, my dear prince!" wheezed the ambassador, toddling for ward. "What a delightful little dance! But la It customary to catch one's part ner In a Jlu Jlt.su grip Ilk* that, or m It a fashion that has come In since my waltzing days?" The old bore's feeble jest brought Danllo quickly back to earth and to a sense of everyday surroundings. "Were you looking for me?" he asked, none too civilly. "Only to seo If you had succeeded yet In finding who the lady Is with whom De Jolidoa I? In love. She must be made to win him away from any Ideas of marrying the widow." "To biases with that and all the rest of your silly plans!" shouted Danllo. "Don't worry any more about the widow. It's no use, I tell you. She Is going to marry a Frenchman lu spite of us all! And," be went on bitterly, goaded by the ekagrlo and abject dis appointment In PopofiF's face, "I'm go ing to daoee at her wedding." "Uolng to marry a Frenchman. In she?" yelled the distracted ambasja dor. "Preposterous! I'll find a way of stopping It! And It Is De Jolldon she thinks of marrying?" "What's that to me? I don't know who she's engaged to, and"? But Popoff waited to hear no more. Catchlftg sight of Niel?, he rushed upon that unhappy dork. "Find M. de Jolldou!" ho command ed. "Keep your eye on him all the rest of the st?log. 0?e If he makes love to the widow eat report to me. I have already told M me. Popoff to sound htm oa the suhject. Among us all wo ought to learn something before we're done " "You'll learn 'something' If you keep on spying," muttered Danllo under his breath as he moved away. "But I'll bet a rear's income If 11 bo something (Continued on page Three) In deraorlaut.

Wllken # Co\ Rheumatism I have found atriad and tested cure for Rheu matism! Not? remedy that will straighten the distorted limbs of chronic cripples, nor turn boar growth* back to flesh again. That is Impossible. But I can now surely kill the pains and pangs of this deplorable disease. In Germany?with a Chemist In tho City of Darmstadt? I found the last Ingredient with WMch Dr. Snoop's Rheumatlo Remedy was made a perfected, dependable prescription. Without that last Ingredient. I successfully treated many, many cases of Rheumatism; but now, at last. It uni formly cures all curable cases of this heretofore much druadod disease. Thote sand-like granular wastes, found in Rheumatic Blood, seem to dissolve and pass away under the action of this remedy as freely as does sugar when added to pure water. And then, when dissolved, these poisonous wastes freely pass from the system, and the causo of Rheumatism is gone forever. There is now no real need?no actual excuse to suffer longer with out help.
