EAT MEAT SPARINGLY
DURING SUMMER.

Meat heats the blood-eat very
little of it during hot weather. That
doesn't mean that you have to sac
rfflce nourishing food because it is
heating.
You will find Faust Spaghetti more
nourishing than meat, and it is also
a light, cooling food. By analysis
you will find that a 1Oc package of
Faust Spaghetti contains as much
nutrition as 4 lbs. of beef. It is a
rich, glutinous food made from
Durum Wheat, the cereal extremely
high in protein.
Faust Spaghetti can be served in
many different ways-write for free
recipe book. Sold in SC and 1Oc pack

TO-DAY'S INSTALLMENT.


IF you won't listen to reason, dad,
all I can say is"
Mildred heard the receiver at the
other end slammed on the hook in
violent fashion.
Dads in an awful tantrum," she
said, seriously. what shall we do?"
Gordon drew her down by his side
and talked low and earnestly TO her
for a long time. The girl cried gently,
but at last a smile shone through her
tears and she put her arms around
his neck.
81 will do whatever you wish, Cor
don" she said, softly.
You promise?" he said.
81 promise" she replied.
Tomorrow, then, Honeybunch!
III call for you at 10. You will be
ready"
But I haven't any clothes, Cor
DON" said Mildred with a pretty little
blush.
Neither have I; but what differ
ence does that make? We can get
some. can't we?"
Mildred and Gordon went TO Chat
tanoOga next morning. With them
were Mrs. Sheppard and Elmer and
Gray, Gordons superintendent, who
had come up from Atlanta and who
continued on to Chattanooga with the
party.
At 4 o'clock that afternoon Gordon
and Mildred were quietly married at
o'clock Gray and Mrs. Sheppard and
Elmer returned to Pew Creek.
Gordon Kelly at the Game.
Next day Mr.. and Mrs. Gordon KEEL
ly started for Washington, the Mecca
Of honeymoons Arriving there, Cor
don registered at the hotel as Mr..
and Mrs. Kelly. Ga" Two weeks
later they were in New York, on the
morning Of the day the Red Sox and
the White Sox were to meet in the
play-off of the triple tie. Gordon
asked Mildred If she would like to
attend the game. Mildred would be
delighted. At a very fancy price Cor
| don secured a box, that turned out TO
be directly behind the Red Sox bench.
Who could remain passive under the
stress Of that game? AS inning after
inning wore on, Gordon found he was
hardly able to control himself. He
longed to be out on the field to help,
| II possible, the red legged players he
did not know--to help the club that
| had paid the unheard of price of $780,
| 600 for his services. Mildred noticed
his agitation.
Hello, Ben Gunn," she said, with a
| smile, do you crave a piece of
| cheese?"
You've hit it, Mildred" he replied.
| I'D Ike to get just one good whack
| at that ball"
The last half Of the last inning
| came-the Boston clubs last chance.
/ Two Of the Red Sox were safe on the
| bases and Cady was striding to the
| plate.
IF that man reaches first, Mildred
/ the bases viii be full and Stahl hasn't

! cxcitedly.
Il don't know what you mean, Cor
don, but infer that Mr.. Stahl will be
| in desperate straits"
That's just it, Mildred. Gee, I'd
like to break up that camel"
His wife looked at him lovingly.

ingly.

do you mean It, Honeybunch?" he
exclaimed
Her eyes sparkled as she nodded
brightly
Gordon hurriedly left the box and
leaned over the rail that separated
the structure from the field.
Wagner" he cried to the despond-
ent captain of the Red Sox, who
stood near the bench.
Something in the mans manner
made Wagner obey the summons.
Il am Gordon Kelly" said Gordon,
talking fast. It just arrived to-day.
II Cady gets on get me a uniform
and I'll break up this game for you"
Quick baseball brains had made
Wagner a great player.
You've got your nerve all right,
kid" was all he said to Gordon, after
one swift glance at the man, but he
ran to Stahl, who was on the coach
Ing lines, arriving there just as Cady
was declared safe at first.
That guy. Gordon Kelly, just
showed up" said Wagner in the man
ayers ear. He wants to bat. How
about it?"
Lord. yes. get him up there
quick" exclaimed Stahl, and then he
cried, Leonard" and motioned that
player. whose turn it was to bat,
away from the plate.
Wagner ran back to the bench,
reckoning to Gordon as he ran. Cor
don leaped over the rail- the action
being unnoticed in the excitement of
the moment. and was pushed into
the dugout by the Red Sox captain.
Quick, Nunamaker." cried Wag-
ner, "off with that uniform. Get your
clothes off, kid. Stand around, boys,
and make a curtain Of yourselves.
Hurry, everybody"
Kelly at the Bat.
Off came Nunamaker's shirts,
pants, stockings and shoes; off came
Gordon's coat, vest, trousers and
shoes. In less than two minutes Cor
don was in a Red Sox uniform for
the first time in his life. Jumping
out of the dugout, he selected bat,
and, taking two others with him,
strobe toward the plate, swinging the
three over his shoulders, just as the
megaphone boys shouted:
Gordon Kelly batting in place Of
Leonard"
Away out on the center-f field
bleachers there arose ar ear-split-
ting yell. II was from the throat of
Whisky who had recognized the
stride Of Gordon even before the
megaphones announced the name.
| The crowd took up the yell, and one
| long, loud cheer rent the air.
The excitement under which Cor
| don had labored vanished as soon as
he felt the smooth, round bat in his
| hands, and he walked calmly and
