Who Wouldn't

A Manhattan man, suffering with
neuralgia, was told to take a hot
water bottle to bed with him. Next

well" said Billy slowly and thought
fully, I'm not seeking capital on this
occasion l shall catch Uncle Andrew
on his humanitarian side. What he said
on my last visit will gain my point in
our next interview" he concluded, re-
membering his deal with the Dartmore
car.
The girl sat silent, and Billy went on
again.
Your keen interest inspires me. Miss
Gryce. l shall not fail"
"Oh, its all because of poor old
David" Priscilla explained, and sat
back in her chair again.
"Our interests are all linked up with
this new company" Billy broke in on
her thoughts, "and not only for David's
sake do l hope for its success"
Priscilla held up her hand, as if to
stem further words.
Then We are in perfect agreement"
she said. I'VE all pray the company may
succeed, and now l must go and find
Cecilia"
Priscilla sprang to her feet with a
supple, graceful movement, and she
passed along the veranda and entered
the house door.
For moment Billy stood nonplused.
He didn't know that his face had told
the girl what she might expect and that
she had run away to avoid his declara-
ton. However, the periods of William

Billy had sunk on one knee beside the
girl, when suddenly Priscilla raised her
head.
Don't, please don't say any more" :"
she said in some confusion, and turned
her face with its heightened color to-
ward Billy. David should have told
you" she continued. HE should have
told you long ago"
William Andrew was stricken to ST.
lence by this hint of impending, un-
guessed trouble. Some moments elapsed
before he aske4
What is it that David should have
told me-"
That am already engaged" she said
in low voice, her glance sinking again
to the table.
"EnsagedP' echoed Billy aghast.
Il am engaged" again asserted Pris-
ella, this time in cool, even tones.
Billy, mystihed and uncomprehending,
seemed to be reviewing the past six
months.
Since when have you been engaged?"
he inquired at last.
For some time before we-you and l
met, Mr.. Duplane," she said.
Again Billy remained in half-unbeliev-
ing silence.
May l be allowed to know the name
of the happy man." he finally inquired,
a tinge of bitterness revealing itself.
Does that matter, Mr.. Duplane?"
asked Priscilla.
"No-o-o," said Billy, slowly and phil
osophically, Since have lost you it
doesn't matter"
The Washington herald., 1914-07-12

I've finished my talk with David, "
Billy SAID I'VE understand each other
and the company's position as well. but
you, Miss Gryce. are not aware"
"Oh, AMI know" said Priscilla
hastily, her tone that of one imploring
to be spared something.
III you will he kind and listen, Miss
Gryce, should like to define my own
position" Billy pushed chair forward,
as Priscilla stood with her back TO the
window, and the young man missed the
expression of panic in her eyes.
Il thought we had exhausted the sub
ject long ago." she said, how, when the
company declares a turnover OF $4,000
a year, it is to be reorganized and you
are to receive a quarter share in the new
formation"
Priscilla sat down, sideways, near the
head of the long table. She rested her
cheek in her hand, wondering if she
could talk against time-until some one
interrupted and rescued her. But Billy's
opportunity had arrived, and his next
words proved the futility OF the girls
wish.
Miss Gryce," he said, at is great
impudence on the part OF any man to
ask a girl to marry him when he hasn't
$500 to his credit in the world. Yet !

a much greater sum than that to my ac-
count before the year is out. love you,
Priscilla. Will you marry me?"
Billy stood before the girl, his face
pale and determined; yet there was trep-
idstion in his manner also.

4 like to hear you say that" she said.
"for poor David glooms so dresdfully.
Not that I'm grumbling at him." she
added quickly, for David has had 4 lot
to bear"
Yet David has been particularly
blessed as WELL" said Billy, inpulsively
and poiHtedly. He couldn't help ii any
more than David could have suppressed
his tell-tale whistle. His cast-iron res
olution not to speak till his ship was in
safe waters was rapidly crumbling to
pieces. Priscilla Gryce evidently looked
to him-Billy-to save her brother from
ruin.
The Washington herald., 1914-07-12

Andrew Duplane's nonplusment were Of
short duration. Billy promptly followed
Priscilla into the house. He found her
in the dirins-room, a place of, happy
memories for Billy, where they had
toasted chestnuts and told each others
fortunes in the hickory log FIRE.
I've come to help you look for your
cousin Cecilia" Billy said, but before
We begin our search, would like to
speak of my position regarding the new
company"
David" began the girl, her panic
mUmeLtarily allayed. You'd much bet
ter discuss Jour position with David"
The Washington herald., 1914-07-12

Priscilla's face sank lower as she lis
tened. and she made no attempt to re-
ply.
viii you not consider me, Priscilla ?"
Billy pleaded
Still no answer.
Il have loved you from the first mo-
ment my eyes fell upon you-that day in
Euclid avenue" Billy urged.
Priscilla's elbows rested on the table,
and her face was now bent in her hands,
while handkerchief shielded her eyes.
Billy saw that the girls shoulders were
shaking. Possibly girls do cry on these
occasions" he thought.

A number of residents of Shelton, and Derby are making comment about the city of Derby tearing some of the p1anking on the sidewalk of the bridge where snow is being thrown into the river. The walk on the south side of the bridge is torn up for about 10 feet. At this place the bridge Is closed to traffic and per sons crossing have to walk in the roadway. The bridge could have been opened on the north side where there is hardly any traffic. A red flag is placed at the opening but this does not guard persons from falling into the river, drop of some 40 feet The bridge will be torn up for at least several days as the work of cleaning ID the snow in the city of Derby will last that long.

Better Than CalOIleI
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Ed wards Olive Tablets are Harm
 less Substitute.

Dr. Edwards Olive Tab1ets-tFae substitute for ca1ome1-are mild but sure laxative. and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards deter 1aination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with ca1omel. His efforts to banfsh it brought out these little olfve-coIored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calonel does but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong uouids or caIome1. They take hold of trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth ? Ca1oEnel sometimes plays havoc with the gums So do strong ifauids It is best not to take calo- mel but to let pr.
