THE ROMANCE
OF A CAVE
BY CLAUDINE SISSON

It was such q beautiful summer
morning that even q weather bureau
man with crouch wouldn't have
dared predict as much as change Of
wind. The Widow Warner and her
son Joe got started for the city by an
early train, and after fussing around
with her flower beds for an hour
Phyllis sat down on the broad YER
anda to rest and think Of how good
1t was to be nineteen years old. have
q handsome face, hazel eyes and be
alive in the Twentieth century.
And then, almost as swiftly as the
flight of bullet, things changed. 1t
was case of toothache. It was no
uncertain thing, but fixed fact. It
didn't give jump and then depart.
but 1t came to stay. There was a
cavity in tooth, and the ache took
possession and proceeded to do bust
ness. In two minutes it had drawn
red-lipped mouth into the figure of q
big o; in three there were tears in
those hazel eyes; in five the sole own.
er and proprietor of the toothache and
the mouth and the eyes was saying to
the cook in the kitchen:
"Oh. it won't do any good to try
hot salt or hot ashes, or to hold
camphor in my mouth. I've Just got
to suffer with the horrible old thing
all day. shall be as good as dead by
night. There are ninety million PEG.
pie in the United States, and yet
must be the only one to suffer-"
"Ill make you hot poultice. Miss
Phyllis. The last time. you remem-
mer-"
Eyes, I remember it brought out a
lot Of freckles on my right cheek. and
1t took weeks to cure them. don't
want poultice."
"Then can't you do something to dis
tract your attention? I have heard
that If you could get to thinking of
something else the toothache would
co."
But what can think of. except that
I've got it,"
II don't know. Isn't there any young
man you could think of"
"You know there isn't. II there
was he might 60 hang!"
If you were to take a walk?"
II might do that. Yes, I guess I'll
go. I'll walk along and pretend that
l haven't got toothache. and maybe

Keep Your Money at Home.

Whatever you do, keep your
money in North Dakota. In
vest it in your own business,
whatever that is. There are
few businesses of any kind in
this state that do not need or
that cannot profitably use ad
ditional capitol.
Buy North Dakota lands and
develop them. Buy town pro
perty and develop it. Start a
manufacturing plant in a
email way ard let it grow with
the country.
Invest in any of a hundred
different ways, but-INVEST
AT HOME.
We all use the dollar that
works at home. The other fel
low gets it when you send it
away. And, ten chances to
one your investment at home
will prove a more successful
venture than il would abroad

other staple grains, but cattle
