it wasn't done, but at the same time
at least half of them sneaked into his
store to get a closer look at him, and,

The WOOing Of Elizabeth

When YOU stop a runaway horse in
a country lane and find that the buggy
attached to the horse is occupied only
by a girl, and if the girl is very fair,
of blue eyes. like a rose leaf. it is your
manifest destiny and duty to fall in
love with the girl on the SPOT
At any rate, Bradley argued the
matter out to himself that way.
It was October in the bluegrass coun-
try of Kentucky-the most beautiful
time of the year in what every true
Kentuckian and many other people say
is the most beautiful country in the
world.
Bradley had owned place near the
Forks of Elkhorn for two or three
years but this was his first visit to it.
He had bought it because It had be-
longed to one of his ancestors and had
come on the market at a ridiculously
low figure.
Even a successful New York lawyer
has some sentiment in his makeup, and
it pleased Bradley to think that he
owned the place where his grandfather
had been born.
Really, his stopping the runaway
horse had not been a thrilling rescue,
and he felt a little uncomfortable as
he thought that possibly he appeared
slightly ridiculous in the eyes of the
girl.
He was sitting, thinking the matter
over on the White-columned porch OF
; his own house, which he had already
begun to think of as home
He had claimed and been given the
privilege of driving the girl home, an(
had been introduced to and thanked
by her father, Colonel Ogilvie, whom
he remembered to have heard of as q
gallant and distinguished officer of the
Confederate army.
Colonel Ogilvie had known Bradley's
father and remembered his grandfath-
er. so was quite willing to accept him
for what he appeared to be and was
a gentleman.
Thus the acquaintance progressed
He saw much of Elizabeth Ogilvie, and
found himself falling more and more IL
love with her. She. and no other, he

means that all parts of the body must be

pf the body, this takes away from the
proper amount of blood in other parts.
The surroundings of the woman play an
important part in her development, so
that when she is badly nourished, ex-
posed to bad air in ball rooms, factories
or Office, when she is over worked and
subjected to great mental strain and
shock, she is pretty sure to get pale and
to have great loss Of blood, or it may be
