girls despise him. One good thing
he won't be here long"
"Why not?" asked Hilda.
81 shan't tell you, but you'll see.
do hope you are not falling in love
with him"
Hilda protested Indignantly She
evaded Armitage, and twice when he
called managed to be out of the way.
Hence her stepmother's advice.
A new interest came into the life Of
Hilda one day. ArmitGge passed
through the sample department accom-
panied by bright-faced athletic young
man. The latter seemed interested in
everything he saw. Something about
the neat graceful Hilda held his
glance. She noticed it and flushed,
but his look was so pleasant she could
not feel offended
"He is a Mr.. harold Macy" a COM
panion told Hilda. "He has come well
recommended to Mr.. Armitage, and is
going to be kind of an overseer."
Armitage was absent for several
days inspecting another mill. 1t was
happy week for Hilda. The new en-
ploye passed through her department
frequently. From the first he had
pleasant word for her. Then he began
to question her about her work and its
details. One evening he was strolling
past her home when he met her. There
was band concert going on in the
public square. The young man asked
for her company there. Both enjoyed
the concert.
Mrs. Mason gave Hilda a great lee
ture when she got home. Spelling her
chances" "out Of respect for Mr. Arm
itage," were some of the pointed
phrases she used. Bat Hilda could not
help thinking of the manly young fel-
low whose bright natural ways had
opened a new chapter in the book Of
her young life.
A few evenings later young Macy
called at the Mason home. But for the
glum looks of Mrs. Mason, it was
second happy occasion for Hilda. 1t
made her happier still when she
eyes, that told he was thinking of her
with a warmer sentiment than Of sim
pic friendship.
Armitage, returned, came into the
room where she sat at work next
morning. He was pale and stern look
ing. He forced smile, as if asking
welcome. Hilda reluctantly touched
the hand he extended He tried to re-
tain 1t, but she arose to her feet.
Il heard of your having quite a so
cial time during my absence" insinu-
ated the manager "Hilda," and he
came a step nearer, and his eyes had
an eager, sinister glow, "the time has
come when circumstances force me to
reveal my feelings towards you. /

you to become my Wife"

Few cities are doing rs much build
ing as Buenos Aires, easily the largest
center of population south of the
equator and the fourth city of the
western hemisphere, but such work
goes on under difficulties in that part
Of South America. The iron, steel
and cement are imported, chiefly from
England, Germany and France, with
some from the United States. The
pine and spruce lumber used comes
from this country and Canada. Sand
is brought across the wide estuary OF
the La Plata from Uruguay, because
it is very scarce in Argentia. Some
times bricks are ground UP and used
as a substitute for sand. TILES for
floors and roofs are imported from
France and Belgium. Most Of the
plumbing and builders hardware
comes from Great Britain, little be-
ing imported from the United States.
And thousands Of buildings ere rushed
up every year in a booming city
under these conditions.

DANGER AFTER GRIPPE
Lies in Poor Blood, Cough and
Worn-Out Condition.

Grippe, pleurisy pneumonia are
greatly to be feared at this season.
To prevent grippe from being fol-
lowed by either pleurisy or pneumo-
MIA, 1t Is important to drive the last
traces of 1t out OF the system.
Our advice is to take finol, our
delicious cod liver and iron prepare
ton without oil, and get your
strength and vitality back quickly.
w. w. Lake of Aberdeen, Miss,
says: Grippe left me weak, rundown
and with severe cough from which
suffered for a long time. l tried
different remedies, but nothing SEEM
ed to do me any good until l took
Vinol from which l received great
benefit. My cough is almost entirely
gone and | am strong and we'll again. -
Try Vinol with the certainty that
II 1t does not benefit you we Will give
back your money.
P. S. For Eczema of Scalp try
our Saxo Salve. We guarantee 1t!
