Smelling the Matter, Anyhow.

Smelling the Matter, Anyhow.
Little Harold lives in Broad Ripple.
His mother got him ready for bed
one cold night, and to be sure he
would be warm enough during the
night she took extra precautions, re-
lates the Indianapolis News. After
she had put on his little fuzzy paja-
mas she tucked him carefully in be-
tween the wool blankets. Then. to
make doubly sure she got hot water
bottle for him-and the youngster
was apparently as snug as could be
with only his little nose sticking out
from beneath the covers.
When his mother had finished the
tucking-in Job she turned down the
light. Soon the entire family was in
bed. But Harold is like most young
sters. He loves his mother, and wish
es lots of attention. So in his child
mind he figured out a way to get her
to his bed.
Mamma" he walled, I'm coldi"
Nonsense, SOM" replied his moth
er, and she never made a move to go
to his rescue.
The little boy tried the opposite.
well, I'm hot. then!" he yelled.

how badly she needed help. He had
further made it known to the lady
that he wes not in the marriage mar
ket: that nhe could not have him for
any of her girls. And as for the
Duchess of Breakwater, well--he had
whirled with her until his head swan.
He had grown years older at the Park
in the few weeks of his visit, but now
for the first time, as the music OF
"Mandalay" struck upon his ears, like
a ripple of distant seas, he felt like
the boy who had left Blairtown to
come abroad. He had spent the most
part of the day in London with a man
who had come over to see him from
America. Dan attended to his bust
ness affairs, and the people who knew
said that he had keen head. Mr..
Joshua Ruggles, his fathers best
friend, whom Dan this afternoon had
seft to go to his room at the Carlton.
had put his arm with affection through
the boys.
Don't look as though it were any
too healthy down to the place you're
visiting at, Dan. Plumbing all right?"
And the boy, flushing slightly, had
said: "IApn't you fret, Josh, I'll look
after ms health, all right"
There's nothing like mountain air."
returned the westerner. These old
fogs stick in my nostrils; feel as
though could smell London clean
down to my feet!"
From the corner of the box Dan
looked hard at the stage, at the fresh
brilliant costumes and the lovely cho-
rus girls.
"Gosh," he thought to himself, they
are the prettiest ever! Dove-gray,
eyes of Irish blue. mouths like roses!"
Leaning forward little toward the
duchess he whispered: There isn't
one who isn't winner. never struck
such a box Of dry goods!"
The duchess smiled on Dan with
good humes. His naive pleasure was
delightful. 1t was like taking a child
to a pantofnfme. She was wearing his
flowers and displaying jewel that he
had found and bought for her, and
which she had not hesitated to accept.
She watched his eager face and his
pleasure unaffected and keen. She
could not believe that this young man
was master of ten million pounds.
When Lefty Lane appeared Blair
heard light rustic like rain through
the auditorium, murmur, and the
house rose. There was a well-bred
calling IRON the stalls, a call from the
pit, ans generous applause-"Letty
Iane-ssasty Lane!" and as though
she wera :oyalty, there was a f1utter-
ing of ssndkerchiefs like flags. The

Pink Pills Are the Tonic to Use When
the Blood Is Thin and Weak.
Thin, impure blood is an invitation
to sickness. The blood is at work, day
and night, to maintain the health and
any lack Of strength or purity in the
blood is a weakness in the defense
against disease. Anaemia is the doc
tors name for lack of blood. There
may be an actual loss in the quantity
OF the blood or one or more of it's con-
stituents may be lacking. Its surest
symptom is pallor. Anaemia is par
ucularly common in young girls from
IA to II years of age. 1t is not con-
fined to them for it is this same lack
OF blood that prevents full recovery
after the grip, fevers, malaria and
operations and is present In old age
and in persons who have been under
an unusual physical or mental strain.
Mrs. Morgan Bowen, of No. 1851 Fill
more street, N. E. Minneapolis, Mimi,
says:
When l was Is years old I went
into decline and my parents feared
was going into consumption. was sick
for a year and was not able to do
much of anything. The sickness came
on me gradually. l was pale and
seemed to lose my strength. l was at
tending school at Winona at the time
and became so nervous that l had to
give up my studies. My parents were
alarmed about my condition as there
had been consumption in the family.
"A friend advised my mother to give
ne DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People and before l used them long I
was much improved. l gave the pills
a thorough trial and was fully restored
to health. My health has been good
since, but / always keep DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People in the house
and take them when l feel l need a
tonic"

Jams Pink Pills by building up the
blood so that it can nourish and
strengthen the weakened system has
made hundreds of cures in the most
severe disorders.

Misunderstood Gator.

The winter afternoon was like June,
and, taking tea under palm on the
lawn of the Royal Poinciana at Palm
Beach, sportsman said:
This morning | photographed an
alligator. My boy, to get him, stripped
and waded into the water up to his
chin. The boy felt about with his
feet in the mud till he found a big
gator. Then he ducked down, grabbed
the gator by the nose and dragged
him slowly ashore to his waiting

CHAPTER lI.-Continued.

Only Lady Galorey hesitated, disap-
pointed.
"Too bad had specially arranged
for Lady Grandcourt to drive over
with Eileen. thought it would be a
ripping chance for her to see DAN"
When at length the duchess had sue
ceeded in getting Dan to herself to-
ward the end of the day in the red
room, after tea, she said:
so you won't marry London
beauty?"
And rather colby Dan had an
swered:
why, you talk, all of you, as If |
had only to ask any girl of them, and
she would jump down my throat"
Don't try IT," the duchess answered.
unless you want to have your mouth
FULL"
Dan did not reply for second, but
be looked at her more seriously, con-
scious of her grace and her good
looks. She was certainly better to
look ut than the simple girls with
their big hands, small wits, long faces
and, as the boy expressed it, utter
lack Of get-up." The duchess shone
out to advantage.
why don't you talk to me?" she
asked softly. You know you would
rather talk to me than the Others"
Yes" he said frankly; they make
me nervous"
And l don't?"
NO." he said. 81 learn a lot every
time we are together"
Learn" she repeated, not particu-
larly flattered by this. What sort of
things?"
"Oh, about the whole business" he
returned vaguely. You know what
mean"
Then" she said with slight laugh,
you mean to say you talk to me for
educational purposes? What beast
ly bore!"
Dan did not contradict her. She
was by no means Eve to him, nor was
he the raw recruit his simplicity might
give one to think. He had had his
temptations and his way out of them
was an easy one; for he was very
slow to stir, and back of all was his
ideal. The reality and power of this
ideal Dan knew best at moments like
these. But the Duchess of Breakwater
was the most lovely woman--the
most dangerous woman that had come
his way. He liked her-Dan was we'll
on the way to love.
The two were alone in the big dark
room. At their side the small table,
from which they had taken their tea
together, stood with its empty cups
and its silver. Without, the day was
cold and windy, and the sunset threw
along the panes red reflection. The
light fell on the Duchess of Breakwa-
ter, something like a veil-a crimson
veil slipped over her face and breast.
She leaned toward Dan, and between
them there was no more barrier than
the western light. He felt his pulses
beat and tide rising within him. She
was a delicious emanation, fragrant
and near, and as he might have gath
cred a cluster of flowers, so in the
next second he would have taken her
In his arms, but from the other room
just then Lady Galorey, at the piano,
played a snatch from Mandalay, strik-
ing at once into the tune. The sound
came suddenly, told them quickly
some one was near, and the Duchess
of Breakwater involuntarily moved
back, and so knocked the small tray,
jostled 1t, and it fell Gathering to the
floor.

CHAPTER III.
The BIalrtown SoIoist.

Blairtown had population of some
eight thousand. There was Presby-
terian church to which Dan and his
father went regularly. sitting in the
bare pew when the winiers storms
beat and ratified on the panes, or in
the summer sunshine, when the smell
OF the pews and the panama fans and
the hymn books came strong to them
through the heat.
One day there was missionary SER
mon, and for the first csme in its his
tory, girl sang solo IN the First
Presbyterian church. Dan Blair heard
1t, looked up, and it made a mark in
his life. A girl In a white dress
trimmed with blue gentians. white cot
ton gloves. and golden hair. was the
soloist. He knew her, that is, he
had a nodding acquaintance with her.
1t was the girl at the drug store who
sold soda water, and he had asked her
some hundreds of times for vanilla
or a chocolate" but it wasn't this yuI-
gar memory that made the little boy
listen. 1t was the girls voice. Stand
ing back of the yellow painted rail.
above the minister's pulpit. above the
flies, the red pews and the panama
fans, she sang. and she sang into Dan
Blair's soul. To speak more truly,
she made him soul in that moment.
She awakened the boy; his collar felt
tight, his cheeks grew hot He felt
his new boots. too. hard and heavy.
She made him want to cry. These
were the physical sensations-them ma
terial part Of the awakening. The rest
went on deeply inside of Dan. She
broke his heart; then she healed Il.
She made him wart to cry like a girl:
then she wiped his tears.

In making a range, it is attention to detail that counts At the Glenwood foundry, the moulding sand is put through process after process until it is as fine and mellow as flour. The Iron must be just right, too. No one mine in the country can furnish the strong, fine grained, lasting quality which the Glen wood formula demands, and so the best irons from several mines are carefully proportioned and blended exactly right i'll the great melting furnaces at the Glenwood foundry. And so on through each Glenwood department, an army of skilled wOrkmen is watching and caring for thousand little details that are essential. in producing @ durable, plain range that is perfectly smooth.
 Glenwood Ranges are made in hun dreds of different patterns and sizes to suit all purses. It matters not whether your kitchen is large or small there's a Plain Glenwood made to fit It.
