are as fine as quail" This is the lat

HIS GIRL WAS LOCKED OUT
Young New Workers Race Win Nov
Ing Train Proves interesting
70 the Passengers.

Indianapolis travellers, homeward
bound from New York, saw an
amusing incident recently on one
Of the big trains with transcontinen-
tai connections. About ten minutes
before time for the train to leave
the station a young man and young
woman came aboard. After depos-
ting the various grips in the Pull
man they went out on the back plat
form to say goodby. They were
busily engaged in their own thoughts.
Time for the train to get under way
arrived. When the train started the
young man prepared to get off, pre-
ferring to take the last few minutes
with the girl, rather than escort her
into the car. She turned face sus-
piciously alive with tears toward the
door. She tried the handle-and
found that some industrious, jealous
porter had locked her out. The young
man discovered her dilemma as he
swung off the train. With the train
gathering speed momentarily he
raced toward the front and succeed
ed in getting aboard long enough to
make the porter understand that he
had locked the girl out. When the
porter opened the door and beckoned
her in she still gazed back at retreat
Ing dear old New York and the inn
maculate young gentleman who, no
doubt, had her heart in his keeping.

Who's Who?

That has been the question among
the members Of the colored Grscey
Baptist church for some time. Un-
able to settle the question among
themselves, the two factions carried
it into the Circuit Court. Judge
Hanbery sent Rev. E. Williams and
Prof. P. T. Frazer down to investi-
gate. The trouble may be over. but
when church people fall out they
are the last in the world to make up
and forget. Rev. Lawson Majors

pie talked about her, but nobody seem
ed to know just why. She had come
to Springfield a stranger and she had
been careful to leave her past behind
her. 1t had not taken her long to find
riends, and she was quickly admitted to
the best social circles. With plenty
of money, she lived at the most fash,
ionable hotel, she entertained lavish
ly, and her clothes were the talk OF
the town. Then, one day, she disap
peared, and on the following morning
Tom Harlow told Helen that it had
become necessary for him to go to Chi
cago. q
A week later he returned, but a sub
stantial citizen OF Springfield had re
turned before him. The substantial
citizen had seen Tom and Mrs. Dan
forth together in Chicago. 3 OF course
Tom had assured Helen that it was
all right, but he had not explained
He had merely promised to do so Sin
good time" And Helen had naturally
decided that the good time" could
never come. So Tom went away.
She thought over all this as she i'm
patiently waited at Northport juno
ton. A dozen times she tried to fix
her thoughts on other things, but al
ways they turned back to the old sub
ject. She became angry with herself
at last, and more for the purpose OF
trying to forget Tom Harlow than
with the hope Of obtaining information
she went into the station and asked
the operator if it was likely that the
train for Medford would arrive on
time.
She's just reported fifty minutes
late" the operator informed her.
There's a washout up the road"
Helen turned away with feeling of
hopelessness and went outside again.
II Northport had looked dismal to her
before, it now seemed desolate. While
she was trying to count the appalling
number of minutes that she would
have to wait. she heard the whistle OF
an engine away up the curve around
the hill on the main line.
When the long train stopped at the
Junction Helen saw man step down
from one OF the Pullman cars away at
the rear. She paid no attention 70

OUT UNDER THE STARS
After He Had Told Helen Whole
Truth.
ny 8. z. KIsER.

For three hours Helen Sibley had
been waiting at Northport Junction.
Luckily the evening was pleasant, so
that she was not compelled to sit in
the stuffy, dingy little station There
was Just one pretty thing about North
port Junction, and that was Helen. II
the train for which she was waiting
ever came and ever departed again,
Northport Junction would resume its
habit of being about as unlovely a
spot as one might find within the tenn
perate zone.
While Helen remained the place
would possess one attraction that
would have lent distinction to a far
more important and a far more splen-
did center of activity than the juno
ton was ever likely to become.
The operator in the bay window that
jutted out into the point of land be-
tween the branching tracks evidently
had an eye for beauty as we'll as an
ear for Morse AS Helen walked up
and down the platform he watched her
and became thoughtful. He wonder
ed why 1t was that nature bestowed
her gifts so lavishly upon some girls
and treated others so shabbily. The
beauty that Helen possessed might
have made dozen plain girls fair IL
1t had been distributed among them.
Such was the operators reasoning.
The operator at Northport Junction
was philosopher.
But Helen was not thinking of phil
osophy, and If she had noticed that the
operator was eagerly watching her the
fact neither added to her pleasure
nor. caused her annoyance. For some
reason she was thinking Of Tom Har-
low. Perhaps 1t was because of the
loneliness Of her surroundings. It
was nearly year since she had re-
fused to listen when Tom had said that
he could explain everything in good
time" and for months she had thought
that she was never going to have any
interest In him again.
Thinking Of Tom naturally caused
her to think of Mrs. Danforth, the pref
ty, young grass-widow who had come
between them. There was something
mysterious about Mrs. Danforth. Peo-

CHILDREN INJURED
Ordinary CathartiCs and Pills and
Harsh Physic Cause Distressing
Complaints.

You cannot be over-careful in the
selection of medicine for children.
Only the very gentlest bowel medi-
cine should ever be given. except in
emergency cases. Ordinary pills,
cathartics and purgatives are apt to
do more harm than good. They
may cause gripping, nausea and other
distressing after affects that are fire.
quently ealth-destroying
We personally recommend and
guarantee Rexall Orderlies as the
safest and most dependable remedy,
which we know, for constipation
and associate bowel disorders. We
have such absolute faith in the vir-
tues of this remedy that we sell it
on our guarantee of money back in
every instance where it fails to give
entire satisfaction, and we urge all
in need of such medicine to try it
at our risk.
Rexali Orderlies are eaten iust
like candy, are particularly prompt
and agreeable in action, may be
taken at any time, day or night: do
not cause diarrhoea, nausea, gripping,
excessive looseneSs, or other unde-
sirable effects. They have a very
mild but positive actions upon the
or ms with which they come in
contact, apparently acting as a regu-
lative tonic upon the relaxed muscu-
lar coat of the bowel. thus overcom-
ing weakness, and aiding to restore
the bowels to more vigorous and
healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies commonly COM
pletly relieve constipation, except
of course when of a surgical char
acter. They also tend to overcome
the necessity of constantly taking
laxatives to keep the bowels in
normal conditions. Three sizes of
packages, 10 cents, 25 cents, and SO
cents. Remember. you can obtain
