CLASSIC Marooned Hearts {Continued from page 56) should believe that he deliberately shirked his duty for a moment's pleasure. Anger that they should dare to believe such a thing of him prompted his reply. "No ! I have nothing to say." And then he remembered Marion, Marion's wretched selfishness — and the fact that Marion must be protected from her own act. Quixotic ? Yes, but Paul Carrington was not the man to hide behind a woman's skirts. And so he sat silent until all but the old doctor who had loved him had gone. "Paul! I cant believe it of you! You dont realize what this means !" "I realize, all right." The young surgeon thrust his thumbs down in a significant gesture. "I'm done for — here. I shall go away, as far away as a ship will carry me" — his grey face quivered with ghastly mirth — "where society will no longer tempt me. To the Jarvis Islands, probably, where I shall go on with my experiments on gland tissues — I shall simply disappear — alone." An orderly stood hesitant in the doorway. "Beg pardon. Dr. Carrington, but Miss Ainsworth is calling you. She says it's very important." With a hard look in his grey eyes that gave them the gleam of one of the steel knives in the case, Paul Carrington replied, "Tell the lady that I am occupied," he spoke deliberately ; "tell her that I e.xpect to be occupied whenever she calls." The world's memory is short — luckily, for most of us. A day's wonder, a night's gossiping, and it turns to some other, fresher happening. It wishes only the very latest thing in broken hearts. At tlie end of a twelvemonth only a few people so much as remembered that there had been a promising young surgeon named Carrington, whose career had been untimely ruined by an unfortunate scandal. Dr. Matthews was one of those who remembered. Sometimes, as he bent over a particularly desperate operation, the thought would flash to his brain of the slender, steel-strong fingers that had dropped their tools so recklessly. "But there was more to it than we knew," he insisted stubbornly, when other doctors sneered at the "Society Sawbones," "and he'll redeem himself yet — if he's still alive." If he was still alive! It was this thought that beat at Marion Ainsworth's brain like pounding fists, and made her look, as her dear friends whispered among themselves, positively haggard. "If she doesn't marry soon, she will not be able to make a decent match," they murmured, "but I think her mother will be able to land Bob Carter." It was wholly due to the silent, incessant pressure of Mrs. Ainsworth's will, with its hurtful impact on her bruised spirit, that Marion finally consented to become engaged to young Carter, a pleasantly wealthy, averagely personable (Continued on page 91) (Eighty-seven) Free Trial Offer Th° me" its of Canthrox and to prove that it is in all ways a most satisfactory hair wash, we send one perfect shampoo free to any address upon receipt of two cents for postage. TAKE it on your trip this summer; it is indispensable to the comfort of your scalp and the beauty of your hair. CANTHROX SHAMPOO Its use makes and keeps the hair attractive, develops the life, luster and natural wave and gives a clean, luxuriant appearance. Canthrox has been for years the favorite of those who want to bring out all the beauty of their hair, because it so rapidly softens and entirely removes every particle of dandrufif, excess oil and dirt, at the same time giving such a massive flufifiness to the hair that it appears much heavier than it really is, while each strand has silky bright softness and the scalp is left pliant and comfortable. For Sale at all Drug Stores Canthrox costs about three cents a shampoo. No good hair wash costs less. A few minutes only are required for its use. You simply moisten the head with Canthrox and rinse it thoroughly, after which the hair dries quickly. H. S. PETERSON & CO., Dept. 148, 214 W. Kinzie St., Chicago, 111.
