Like the running brook, the
ed blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS

II was mid-afternoOn when Tom
Jameson finished the last cigar in his
case. Two hours more to New York
and nothing in sight TO amuse him.
He had deyoured all the magazines on
his trip out Up to the present mo-
ment he had smoked his way back.
There seemed nothing for it but two
hours Of ennui and that he decided he
could better endure from his comfort
able seat in the Pullman
He had not been in since noon, else
he might earlier have discovered that
there was something on the train
which would help the hours to pass
with amazing rapidity. He discovered

been vacant out of Chicago. sat quite
the most charming girl he had seen
since-well since rs acknowledged
leader of an exclusive coterie in
New York he had repressed all his
emotions under the imperturable ex-
terror which was his ideal of good
form. Jameson noticed with satisfac-
ton that every detail OF the girls
equipment was correct; that the elder
ly person beside her was likewise ire
proachable in appearance and manner.
Their conversation was distinctly audi
BILE to him and he gathered at once
from the fiat as and distinct RS that
they were from the far west. That
was Jamieson's first shock. That any
f~I f-fd re fr
should have such perfect poise and
grace was incomprehensible. He pom
dered the problem while the pair in
front busted themselves reading. At
last a low laugh reused him. The
elder woman looked up at the same
time
"Oh, 1t is delicious, auntiel Such a
situation, and the herol What splen-
did nervel You must read it."
The girl forced the open magazine
into the unwilling hands Of her aunt
who apparently preferred to finish her
own story. Jameson, leaning forward
to raise the shade. glanced down at
the book.
Wat was that story about, any
how?7 he wondered. Il certainly read
1t last week. Seems to me that hero

quaintance with a girl he had never

He bought a copy to verify his sus-
picions, then eagerly awaited the
aunts comments. At last she looked
up with a doubtful smile.

sica," she said, but you know in real
life if such a thing ever occurred-I
don't suppose it could, of course, but
If it did happen by any chance, it

Jessica laughed gleefully.

It was an old Worcester county

story of the two men who went into a
drug store and told the proprietor
they had made a soda water bet
and would have their sodas now. and
when the bet was decided the loser
would drop in and pay for them, il
that would be satisfactory to the drug
gist. He answered that it would, and
after the sodas had been enjoyed he
asked: by the way, what was the
