NO POISON IN CHAMBERLAIN S
COUGH REMEDY.

From Napier New Zealand
Herald; Two years ago the Phar-
macy Board Of New South Wales,
Australia, had an analyis made Of
all the cough medicines that were
sold in that market. Out Of the
entire list they found only one that
they declared was entirely free
from all poisons. This exception
was Chamberlain S Cough Remedy,
made by the Chamberlain Medi-
cine Company, Des Moines, Iowa,
~. S. A. The absence of all mar
.cotics makes this remedy the safest
and best that can be had; and it is

Miss Cartwright stood looking
down the rose-bordered walk toward
the white road. She hummed little
tune and tapped her white clad foot
In accompaniment.
For the first time since her mothers
death, three years ago, she had taken
off her plain black dress, and to-day
| she was all in filmy white in honor of
Billy's coming. She was thinking of
| Billy as she stood there, of his fresh.
| boyish enthusiasm, his invigorating
personality and his love for her
which never seemed to change, al
though she had told him every Sun
day for weeks that he was not the
kind of a man she could marry.
And after this dash of cold water,
Billy would look very thoughtful for
fully thirty minutes.
They had known each other for al
most five years. Billy had met her
abroad when she had been travelling
with her mother, and the tender, fra
gle little mother had been complete
ly won by Billy's smile.
AS for Billy, 81 never knew what my
mother was like" he said to her once,
"but she must have been just like
you"
They had been so much to each
other, this mother and daughter, and
since the mothers death Billy had
never missed spending his sundays in
the little town where Mrs. Court
wright had died and where her daugh-
ter lived. He realized how lonely the
girl must be, and although she would
not admit it herself, the impressive
stiffness of the big house was very
trying at times
To-day was one of those perfect
days in June and Miss Cartwright, as
she stood in the door was glad, in a
vague sort of way, to be alive.
Dear Billy" she unused tenderly to
herself, Il wonder why he doesn't
marry some sweet dimpled little girl
and leave me to enjoy my spinster-
hood in peace" But the smile died
out OF her eyes at the ,hougnt. 1t was
useless to deny that Sunday was the
brightest day in the week to her, and
the last few Sundays especially had
become very delightful memories.
Could she ever forget the time they
had broken the Sabbath by fishing in
the big lake behind the house, her wild
excitement when she had first felt
tug at her line how they had worked
to land the big fish, and how dirty and
wet aid happy they both had been!
She had told him that day, as she had
for many weeks past, that she had no

ever again" He was watching her
face intently as he spoke. II have

this, we have always been such close
friends, never imagined l could want
any one else for my wife. But, you
see, It's all so useless my expecting
you to love me, and think my future
wife cares for me more than | am
worthy of. She Is one of Gods best
works, sweet, straightforward GIRL"
and Billy barred his young head rever-
emily.
Miss Courtwrights absent gaze was
fixed ON the sparkling water; she
seemed intensely interested in study
ing its blue depths.
After few minutes she turned her
clear gray eyes on Billy and smiled
her slow, understanding smile, I'm
glad, Billy" she said, simply, land
know you will be happy"
If there was note of sadness in
her voice Billy did not seem to notice
it,
Tell me all about her." she con-
tinued, 'for | want to know some
thing of the girl who is to be your
wife"
Thus encouraged, Billy began an
enthusiastic description, and Miss
Cartwright listened, still with far
off look in her eyes.
"She is beautiful" he said. vaguely,
"and dark haired and altogether ador-
able"
Tall" asked Miss Courtwright,
whose glorious hair was the color OF
ripe wheat.
mo, short and plump and dimpled,"
replied the enraptured Billy.
81 hate dimples," quickly decided
Miss Courtwright to herself. But
aloud, II know | shall love her dear
ly."
Suddenly he pulled out his watch,
and started to his feet. II must hur-
ry off," he announced. tits too bad,
but | have an important engagement
in town and cannot stay to tea
He shook hands hurriedly and went
swiftly up the path and was lost to
Miss Courtwrights watching eyes.
About an hour later Miss Court
wright made her way to the house
and up the stairs to her room; she
went straight to her full length mir
ror and examined herself with un-
finching graz eyes. Did it show in

her face, she wondered, all of her tnns
had lived and died within the last
| hour.
You fool" she said to the girl in
the glass, you utter, utter fool"
Slowly she unfastened the white
gown and let it slip to the floor, and
from her wardrobe she took a simple
black dimity. There was a cynical
little smile on her lips.
HE didn't even mention my white
Dress" she murmured. Il guess that
girl wears bright blues and glaring
pinks. Oh, how | hate her, do hate
her. How could Billy do it? But 1t
makes no difference to me-"
And Miss Courtwright powdered her
nose, brushed up few stray tendrils
of hair and went down to partake of
her coy little tea on the porch, telling
herself, very emphatically. that she
was quite happy. She repeated the
apparently obvious assertion more
than once during the course Of her
solitary meal.
And then all at once while the twi-
light fell Miss Courtwright found her
self sobbing quietly.
Billy" she said, brokenly, longing
ly, Il love you, didn't you know, dear,
| love you, now that it is too late"
And forgetting how happy she was,
Miss Cartwright hid her face in a
convenient sofa pillow and cried in a
hearty unaffected way, much to her
own disgust.
For the second time in her young
life Miss Cartwright was genuinely,
supremacy miserable.
She did not see the conscience
stricken Billy as he emerged from out
OF the shadows in the garden. She
did not know of the radiance in his
face. but suddenly she felt his arms
about her.
Dear little girl" he told her, while
he kissed her tear-stained face, '"it
isn't too late, it's never too late to
mend"
About thirty minutes later Edith
lifted her head from Billy's white fan
mel shoulder and looked up anxiously
into his eyes.
"The other girl, the one who had
taken my placer she asked, weakly.
Doesn't exist" said Billy, promptly.
"She was only bluff and he kissed

ceilings; they walked over peoples
heads and they came to me, Selling
me, sitting me and crushing my
heart. My face, it appears, was whittier

beyond the remark that the room "ap

His paper for the day, like the 9th
ers he delivered, had been prepared
at his home, long distance from the
college. The accurate eye OF the stu

that 1t appeared less bulky than usual
but even he was not prepared for what
followed.
Right In the middle OF a sentence
the professor stopped. He repeated
the opening words and again halted
at the same point. Looking up from

twinkle in his eye. he said:
