INTERRUPTED FRIENDSHIF
A capita! gfri was Marcta—the sort of
girl that Tom Morris had 'ong felt that
he wished for a wife; bi:". that she herself
was the gtrl be was alow to -
ndeed. J doubt whether he would have
realised it at all had they continued to go
on aide by aide, as man anu woman, as
t hey haw done when boy and girL
The Morrises aad I/eons had beer, neigh
bors and friends for two generation*, and
Mar<-is and T»>*n had known <sch other ail
their days. Yet more. His dear sister,
Margery. had been Marcia's best friend
until death had snatched her in her fair
maidenhood Then It was that Tom had
l>ut aside his disdain of Mareia as that
mistake of nature, a girl. and come to her
to paste kites, mem! bail* and discus# les
ions and names. Afterward she went off
to school In a Kentucky convent, and for
three years she and Tom did not meet—
for the intervening vacations she spent
with schoolmate*. Then she eame home,
r»-ady to take up the old friendship where
they had laid it down, for Tom was still
Just Tom to her>
But she was no longer the same Marcia
to him During her abeence she had bud
ded into fresh, sweet young womanhood,
attracting men as naturally and inevit
ably as clover draws bees. The first
symptom of lore Tom felt was a twinge
of Jealousy w hen he saw the other fellows
monopolise her. He watched her from a
distance. Of the three sorts of womanly
beauty, beauty of color appeals to the
crowd, beauty of form to artist and critic,
beauty of expression to lover and friend.
S'tt noticeably lacking In the first two.
Mania, strong, pure and tender, was
richly dowered with the last. More care
fully noted, she seemed mors love-
worthy.
Women are usually quick to see the
transformation of a man irrto a lover, but
in this instance Marcta was blind. Tom
was so firmly fixed In her mind as the un
sentimental comrade of her girlhood days
that it never occurred to her that he
could make love to any one, least of all
to her. until he was actually doing It.
It was an August day. They had walk
ed together to Mountain View-w favorite
resort near her home—where the mount
ains seemed to curve and rise so a» to
lay bare all their beauty and grandeur.
Glorious at all times and seasons, the
scene was doubly so now. in the long,
pervasive light of the summer evening.
Mareia flged her eyas on the distant
slopes, where sky and earth seemed to
meet and melt together. She looked with
delight which deepened fill it grew almost
to pain.
"O, Tom!" she cried, turning her moist
eyes to him in a quick need of sympathy.
But. disconcerted, she started back from
what met her—Tom's steadfast look of
love and admiration.
He caught her hands In both his and
poured into her astonished ears the story
of his love. What was all the mountain
splendor to him when there at his side
was the one face in all the world which
could make bright the darkest scene—the
fa<e which he longed to have by his side
always as that of his dear, true wife?
"No, Tom. no," she cried, snatching her
hand* from his ela*»p- "Tou would not say
all this of <-ourse unless you thought you
meant It. but you don't, really. No, no;
you donH truly want me for your wife.
Say you don't. Tom," she pleaded.
"Mareia. darling, have you known me
so long only to think so mean of me as to
d»-«m me a thing of straw, not knowing
my own mind, my own heart? Warst
you? Sweetheart, I shall never rest until
I win you."
"O, Tom!" interrupted Mareia, "is this
to be the end of our friendship, so long,
so true? You were always like a dear,
good broflher. and I cared for you as—"
Tom laughed grimly, and interrupted in
his turn. "Don't say like a brother,
please, as the girls In the comic paper* al
ways do. At least spare me that."
Marcta had recovered sufficiently from
her surprise to lake refuge now in a quiet
dignity. "No. Tom." she said gently, "you
need have m> fear of my treating you to
the commonplaces at a discarded lover.
I was thinking"—her voice faltered—"of
Margery then." His face, too, softened.
"I remember how Wc have been together,
child with child, youth wirth youth, and I
feel sure that the other feeling of yours
will pasit soon, and leave our friendship
strong and loyal as in old days. 1 am
Ju-< back after a long absence, you see,
and you aren't used to my being grown.
You look o« me as some other girl. But
st>on you will see that lam your same old
comrade. Maretu, your friend. g'Kxl to
laugh, and chat, and walk, and ride w-ith,
to confide in. to sympathize with —but to
make love to—never! Be sensible, now do.
you dear old bear! Why in three months
you will be ready to thank mc for paving
shown you your ml.w <ke."
He caught reproachfully at the sugges
tion in her last words. "Ah! how little
you know me after all, to think me so
tickle, so falw. In three months, then.
ho l>e it; three months from today 1 shall
show y«>u my heart all unchanged and
elaim an answer to my question. Mean
while, promise me. dear, you will try not
only to appreciate my love, but to give
me some in return, if ever so little. I
eaa wait. 1 can bide my time In pa
tience. You must see that the boy and
girl affection, good or its kind, could not
last, yet m ikes secure foundation for this
stronger, truer love. Only try to love
ine. my Mareia. Give me—give } ourself
-time. Only three tittle months. Mep.n
whlle. no word, no look shall annoy you.
My love sl.all still masquerade in friend
ship's guise.** M. rcia demurred. "For
old sske's sake, dear." he pleaded, and
Mareia hesitated, then yielded.
"Three months, ihen." she said.
Even had t.e so d-sired. Tom would
have found Uttle opportunity during tho
ensuing week to press his suit. There
were many to claim her as partner In
the ride*, drivw, dances and picnics
which made Ocville gay in the summer
season. She did not aMoid him. but she
let herself be so monopolized by others
nnd was so serenely Indifferent to his ten
der glances that he was piqued and felt
a small desire to try and pique her in re
turn The opportunity he sought seemed
at li st to c-»me. A school friend came
to visit Mareia. Sh* had. of course, been
described to Tom with many charming
superlative*.
••She Ss so beautiful, so gentle, so
Hweet," said Marcta "you will be sure to
itke her. and you must help me to make
her enjoy her visit. Be sure to call soon
and often."
T»m Si*id to himself at first that he
would do nothing of the sort; then sud
denly <w«ne a pl»n. a purpose, none the
less string because so quickly formed.
He would try M irHa by attention to this
friend of hers. He would see if he could
not start a spark of Jealousy, and prove
that for all her spparent indifference «ome
tire of love smoldered in her heart. "All's
fair in love and war," he ei.-iaimed Im
patiently as conscience warned him that
that course was neither manly nor hon
orable.
Mi«B Arnold came, a doll-faced blonde
with appesllng eyes snd swe-et. confiding
wavs. S h .e adored M trcia—strong, intcl-
V-etual Mareia- with a school girls pas
»;n. and Mareia on h"r part, gave An
nette a tender, protecting love.
Tom found the game of pique delight
ful. although h* could not mage sure
whether or not Marej* cared. Indeed In
his enjoyment of Miss Arnold's society
be quite forgot to watch. He was dis
contented whenever any one else engaged
Miss Arnold's attention. He felt a griev
ous lack in any <S*y which did not give
fc.ro some words with her alone. The
touch of her ribbons thrillrd
him. ihe rose dropped from her batr gath
ered • ear seent in his pocket. In f*rt.
his heart had pasja-d from his keeping
before he realized—shamefully en >ugh—
that Mareia hud been right in calling his
admiration of her a fleeting fancy But
Mareia. who#* love he had sought, was he
right in thinking she was changed dis
trait* The cause? Ah. tbst he sought m
\ a us, and at last. Is sheer despair, he gavs
up to the wholeaome faet that no man can
know a w>nuo » mind unless she tells tt
—if she can.
Tbe inevitable crisis came. A merry
party had been making the round of the
go* links iate<y established, and had been
driven home by a summer shower. Tom
bad proposed to Mise Arnold to try a
picturesque little mountsin rath. It was
rough. He apologised profusely for sug
gesting a way so untit for her to tread,
but I cannot say he regretted a
which made It necessary for her to lean
on his arm so oftesv so frequently accept
the aid of hts hand. On a decltvity her
foot slipped. He caught her in his arms.
And then—the dear face was so tantaliz
lngly. so Irresistibly near his own. Instead
of releasing her he pressed her dose,
close to his heart and dropped his lips
to hers in a long, clinging caress.
A quick flusih. half of joy. half ot
modesty, dyed her face, and her lashes
drooped over the love-light in her eyes.
He would have poured out his passionate
tale of love, but a sudden thought check
ed him. Marcia! He had craved her lovs
—was even now biding the time he hlm
telf had set. and what right had he to
make love to another? In silence he placed
Annette's hand on his arm and they took
the homeward path. As soon as might
be he went off alone to eomm ine with
himself. Mareia was right. That was a

THIS IS DR. SANDEN'S LATEST IMPROVEMENT IN HIS WOR ED-FA MfH'S ELOCTRJC BEET. It Is as near
perfect as sciehce and money can make it. This is a moans of curing diarase which is equaled by no other treatment in
the world. It is the result of 30 years' close application to one hohby— one glorious desire to invent and perfect an ap
pliance that will without inconvenience cure humanity of the series of ills which afflict It—and that all this t«tudy, this
experimenting and self-sacrificing on the part of Dr. Sanden is repaid can He seen from the thousands of grateful voices
which are raised in thanksgivings to the man who has restored to their owners health and luppiom Nor is this all.
Dr. Sanden's Electric Helt enjoys today the largest sale of all the remedies in the world for the cure of nervous and
chronic diseases. No other remedy or appliance approaches it in point of numbers in use or in Us curative effects.
It Has Made a Wonderful Record.
People who are sick and have tried so many different remedies are loth to pick up with anything new. And hav
ing so frequently heard of the i>oor results derived from the use of the cheap class of electric appliances which are
peddled on the streets, they perhaps give no heed to the announcement that Dr. Sanden's Electric Belt will cure. But
time and proof will remove these obstacles, and Dr. Sanden's Electric Belt is here to stay. It Is bringing about a
period of popular evolution in the ways and means of dec tori nx one's self. A lew years ago Dr. Sanden's Belt was lit
tle known in Portland, and people who had tried all the quacks who infest the city without getting relief from their
troubles scoffed at this new remedy, but as cure after cure was reported day after day. as men of prominence gave
testimony to their recovery of health, and finally, as the medical profession, after a fair test, were found to acknowl
edge it a wonderful appliance, the popular education came about, and today there ate I,oo® cures of Nervous Com
plaints. Rheumatism. Kidney, Eiver and Stomach Troubles, and many forms of weakness, accomplished witljiu 10Q miles
of Portland during the last six months by Dr. Sanden's Electric Belt.
This is no toy. It Is a powerful Electric Belt. Riving a continuous stream of electricity into the body for hours at
a time, it is mostly worn at night, while you sleep, and it# life-giving currents fill your system with new vigor, so that
you wake up saturated with a new vital force in the morning, its power is felt as soon as applied, and can be made
miid or strung at wiiL It has improvements that are possessed by no other electric appliance.

A Doctor's Advice.
One of the reasons for the great s'icees« of Dr Sanden's Electric Felt Is the per-onal attention which Dr.
gives to his patients. Before applying the Belt every patient is given a thorough examination, free of charge, to de
termine the nature of the complaint, and during the treatment I>r. Sanden spares no pains to cause a quick and perma
