Then she would lean back in her settee
on the piazza, with all her voluminous,
lacy, frilly skirts billowing round her,
and laugh like little bells tinkling, and
Arthur Grey would chew the ends of his
long, dropping mustache and look heart
broken but determined.
THE particular afternoon when he pro-
posed for the last time but one was a
blue-and-gold affair that seemed especially
made to match Fanny. She was in blue
barege herself; all blue but the little white
rose among the gold of her hair, which
came down in a curly, childish bang to her
eyebrows, and was piled in a big knot on
top. From the knot-and this is where
the story really begins-swung two dear
little light-gold curls
Now Fanny was of the fortunate young
women who can afford to believe in being
natural. She never spent any money on
the false hair that was an admitted neces-
sity in those days. AS she would explain
modestly, she did not need to, even if she
had approved Of it. Her own yellow locks
would make chignon and Il bandeau
plat to boot, even considering all the
front hair shipped ruthlessly off for bangs.
But the little trailing top curls were some
thing new and charming, and they at
tracted Arthur's eye.
"You have wonderful hair" he said
softly. looking at her with alteration in his
eyes. at is like masses Of spun gold.
"Oh-h-no-o. it isn't!' said Fanny.
"And you say that sort of things to all the
girls Oh. | know wicked tales of you!"
But she dimpled ravishingly.
"Fanny Miss Fleming" said Arthur,
"you know very well that you are the only
girl | ever loved or ever will love. You

Fanny, is there no hope for me-"
mot the least little wee bit-at least,
don't think so, said she, dimpling again.
But of course one is never quite sure!"
"You are playing with mel" said Arthur.
1t was "a heavenly June day, and Arthur
was twenty-four and very much in love.

side her chair and caught her hands in his.

Fanny sat up in the settee. She was
little fattered and good deal moved
for she knew she had not behaved very
prettily to Arthur. But she had no in
tention Of giving such a tangible thing
as lock of her hair to any man alive.

she said. "Certainlv not, Sir"

Fanny looked at him consideringly,
sorry for him. but without the slightest
intention of doing as he asked. Suddenly
thought struck her, and she began to
laugh
"Perhaps!" she said

own pressing request, had ceased to wear
long curls and red-velvet skirts some days
before. His mother, of course, had gath
cred up the curls and wept over them, and
Fanny had been consoling her when USE
full thought had struck her practical little
brain.
"Those are lovely curls," she had sug-
gested thoughtfully to her sister. "They
would just match our chignons, Nellie.
They're little lighter, but not more than
it's natural for the ends of your hair to be-"
Nellie dried her eyes. She was nearly
as pretty as Fanny, and only twenty-five.
ooh, l couldn't" she said doubtfully.
Dear little Donald's curls-it would feel
like sacrilege!"
"Fiddlesticks!" said Fanny cheerfully.
"What do you think about it, Donald?"
Donald very proud of himself and very
knightly to his aunt Fanny, gave decision
Mama he said. II don't need 'em any
more. I'm man now"
al suppose we might as WE'LL" said his
mother reluctantly. after all, there are
plenty left to keep"
The end of it was that Nellie and Fanny
mounted the ends of two curls apiece on
harpins with thread, and swung them
from their two pretty chignons.
And this was why Fanny Fleming
laughed when Arthur Grey begged so hard
for lock. of her hair. The naughty
thought of giving him Donalds discarded
curl was too good to miss.
"The idea Of wanting such a silly thing"
she said. "But l suppose one shouldn't
refuse last favor to parting friend You
can have one Of the little curls hanging
down from the knot. But don't disar-
range my haircut it off carefully, mind"
Arthur Grey took out his penknife, and
very reverently detached little Donald's
hair from it's parent hairpin, fortunately
firmly anchored under Fanny's chignon.
He pressed it to his lips, then kissed Fan
ny's hand.
at shall never leave mel" he said
abruptly, and walked away.
THE next day Fanny received his card
with P. P. c. in the corner. She cried
little, cheered up and flirted desperately
with an unfortunate young man who came
over to see her that night. But she felt
little guilty still.
1t had struck her at first that the affair
Ol tne curl was 700 goOu 10 keep. but ON
second thought it struck her as being too
good to tell. So she confided in no one,
not even her sister, and flirted harder than
ever with all Corners. She had at least
three scalps added to her already well fur
nished belt in the record time of five weeks
and half.
1t was most successful summer, as far
as pleasures and lovers went. Up at the
Catskills, where she spent it, scarcely
picnic passed without leaving behind it a
heart or so for Fanny Fleming. Yet some
how the summer was not what it had been
before Arthur Grey had gone away with
his curl, leaving Fanny behind alone with
her guilty feeling. If she hadn't deceived
him, she mightn't have thought about
him at all. But what with worrying as
to whether or not she had done wrong and
should confess, or hadn't and ought to get
the rest of the girls to help her laugh at
the joke, there was no way to forget
Arthur.
Also she missed, whether or no she ac-
knowledged it to herself, the picturesque
background that Arthur Grey's grave
worship had afforded her Nobody played

9th. Several good papers are be

meeting is looked for.
The bad weather of last Satur-
day interfered with the success of
the Avon Teachers meeting; how
ever there were a considerable
number of teachers out, and the
papers read were we'll worth the
effort.
The date for our officers and
teachers meeting is somewhat un-
decided, depending on the ability
of supt. Lugg TO be present. We
hope to call it on February 18th,
however, we may have to call it
two days earlier.
This week is destined TO be a
bad one for our perfect attendance
record. Teachers should under
stand that where there was no
school held on account of storm,
they may overlook the fact in
granting certificates.

there are in this county @ few

What Dyspeptics
 Should Eat
A physicians Advice.

Indigestion and practically all
 forms of stomach trouble about nine
 times out Of ten, are due to hyper
 aclolty; therefore stomach sufferers Should, whenever possible, avoid eat
 ing food that is acid in it's nature, or
 which by chemical action in the sto- mach develops acidity Unfortunate ly, such rule eliminates most foods
 which are pleasant to the taste as
 well as those which are rich in blood
 hesh and nerve building properties.
 Ihls IS the reason why dyspeptics and stomach sufferers are usually so thin, emaclated and lacking in that vital energy which can only come from well fed body. For the benefit of those sufferers who have been obliged to exclude from their diet all starchy sweet or fatty food, and are trying to keep up a miserable existance on glutton products I would suggest that you try a meal of any food or foods which you like in moderate amount, taking imm ediately afterwards a tea spoonful of bisurated magnesia in a little hot or cold water. This will neu- tralize any excess acid which may be present, or which may be formed, and instead of the usual feeling of un- easiness and fullness, you will find that your food agrees with you per fectly. I know of nothing better than plain bisurated magnesia as a food corrective and antoacid. It has no direct action on the stomach, but by neutralizing the acidity of the food contents, and thus removing the source of the acid irritation which in- flames the delicate stomach lining, it does more than could possibly be done by any drug or medicine that acts upon the stomach lining rather than the stomach contents. As a physician, I believe in the use of medicine when ever necessary, but I must admit that I cannot see the sense of dosing an inf1amed and irri- tated stomach with drugs instead of getting rid of the acid-the cause of all the trouble. Get a little bisurated from your druggist eat what you want at your next meal, take some of the bisurated magnesia, as directed above and see if I'm not right"

 His Home DAUGHTER PREVENTS DEED Series Of Family QuarreIs Makes Him Despondent-Emplo of Connecti- cut Company Loses Purse and $4- Other Events.
DAUGHTER PREVENTS DEED

Another chapter was added to the history of the Ventura family of Ken sington last night when Felix Ventura attempted to commit suicide. Flor ence Venture, the f1fteen-year-o daughter of the man, was about to re- tire at II o'clock, when she heard her ~father walking around the kit chen. She ran to that room and saw him standing in the middle of the room, pointing a pistol at his heart. She leaped upon him and attempted to wrest the weapon from him. In the struggle which ensued, the car fridge exploded and the bullet went { through Venturos left arm. Dr. JohK l.. Kelley of New Britain was summoned and he found the bullet i had passed through the mans arm in the muscular part. He dressed ] the wound and Ventura will carry l the arm in a sling for a few days. The family troubles of the Ventures have received much publicity over the actions of both of the principals. Re- gently Ventura had James Perrette tho well-known Kensington cobbler l arrested on the charge of theft. Per- 1 rette was found guilty by Judge Gris- wold and fined $7 and costs. He 3appealed the case The charge was brought because Venture missed some household articles and they were found in the cobbler's' shop. Ferret te claimed the goods were left there by Mrs Ventura, who, pre- sumably, had left her husband. He offered two letters, purported to be from the wife, mailed at New York, saying she had left the articles there, when Perrette was absent. Judge ariswold gave the accused a week to find the woman and bring her into the court as a witness. Perrette failed to do this and ths sentence as noted above was enforced.
 Mrs. Perrette returned to town yes- terday and is living with her sister on Pennington road. Her husband
 net her on the street and tried to in duce her to return and live with him.
 When sSked this morning why she would not accede> to his request, Mrs. Venturo said: 'I do not want to live with him any more, because he does not tfsat me right. We were fight to be a witness for MT. Perretta in
 ng with my husband all the time and
 thought it best to leave him. I took tome belongings and was going to
