 Apparently that ended the matter, but Kennedy laid down his fork.
 "Why, Louse!" he said. You know you've not spent summer in Chi cago since you were child. Your family always sent you away for the heated spell! Why shouldn't you"
 T wasn't married then" broke in young Mrs. Kennedy. There wasn't any reason why l shouldn't--''
 Well, there isn't any reason now" said Kennedy. Just because you've left home and mother is no sign that you've got to stay here and broil and maybe fall ill! I'll find some nice cool place so near that I can come for week-ends and I can get my own breakfasts and dine at the club
 Now, Jimmy" said his wife clasp ing her hands beneath her chin and resting her elbows on the table, q know it's just your wonderful unself ishness that's prompting you. Why, you'd die of your lonliness, you know you would! With me gone all sum- mer. Now, wouldn't you?"
 Not at all!" said her husband heartily
 Why, the ideal" she flashed.
 Well, did you want me to say yes and strengthen your argument?" he asked, hastily. "Of course. I'd miss you, but"
 T don't believe you'd care at all," cried young Mrs. Kennedy, with round eyes. surveying him reproachfully. T think six months of married life has begun to wear on you and you long for a chance to go around with the boys and be free again and have good time! Jimmy Kennedy, never thought it of you, know other men feel that way, but"
 That's utterly ahsurdl" interrupted young Kennedy, sternly. You should know better, It's merely that I'm looking out for your own good, and"
 That's easily said," his wife cried You just made a slip of the tongue and are trying to cover it up! Confess that it would be a relief to have me out of the way"
 I'm surprised at you" said her hus- band. Surprised that you could at tribute such motives to me, I'd wan der around like lost soul during the middle of the weeks!"
 I'm not so sure," said Mrs. Ken. nedy, darkly. "I've heard how men act when their wives are gone They don't sit around and mourn, They go around and have fearfully good time.
 Young Kennedy looked as if a great light suddenly had broken over him He ceased mixing a salad dressing. "I see now" he remarked with icy dig nity, why you've refused to consider going away! It hasn't been in the least because you'd be lonely without me or were afraid I'd be lonely with out you or because it is a wife's duty to stay at home when her husband is working hard, as you said the other day-it's just because you're afraid to go away and leave me free and un- hampered!

Best Stomach
 Remedy Free

It is an old saying that if the stom- ach IS sound the whole body is safe, because so much depends upon the proper working of the stomach. Many persons find themselves with a dis order of the stomach which pro- duces dyspepsia or peculiar state of biliousness.
 If you suffer from both stomach trouble very serious disease. From just such con- ditions come appendicitis rheumatism. skin diseases and similar disorders, be- cause the waste matter that should have the bowels has found its way into the blood and vitiated it. What is needed at this point is not simply violent cathartic tablet or salt, which usually does more harm than good, but a gentle laxative tonic like Dr.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin, which people have been using for these ailments for nearly quarter of a cen tury. It cured J. c. Lanham, of War rensburg, Mo. of stomach trouble of long standing. also William Vol of 903 Ellis son St., Louisville. Ky, who had the trouble for fifteen years.
 However if you have stomach trouble you want to know from personal experi- ence what Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin to the doctor and a free trial bottle will be sent you. You are urged to send for the free bottle. as the results from it will be the best recommendation of Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin. Then you will do as over two million people did last year-go to your druggist and buy regular bottle at 50 cents or $1, according to the size you prefer We could mention hundreds and hundreds of families who are never without it.. You can never tell when some member of the family will need a iaxa- tive, and then no time should be lost taking Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin.
