months, and she had always grown
up with the idea that she was to be
an old maid. She could not imagine
a man of the world like Jim caring
for her. Yet she had Rugged her
dream to her heart, vain dream, a
hopeless one, but infinitely dear. Now
her mothers decision had shattered
it.
She rose up with Jim and accom-
panied him to the door Both SEEM
ed to understand that it was the last
meeting. Old Mrs. Ennis, with curt
good-by, had retired to her kitchen,
Jim and Lefty stood together at the
entrance, and across the fields the
sun was sinking.
you surely have mighty fine
garden, Miss Lefty" said Jim.
'It is good growing weather this
year." said Lefty. "The dahlias are
coming on fine"
"And the asters," said Jim. 'T wish

garden like that. But don't know

Into Letty's heart an awful hope
was coming. But he could not have
meant that-nothing more than his
customary badinage. Everybody
"joshed" an old maid
you amt strong on hens, are you,
Miss Letty?"2 asked Jim.
"I-I don't mind hens" admitted
the girl. "Pm sort of partial to all
kinds of live stock"
"H had a garden, I'd keep hens,
too" said Jim. "And my wife'd wire
them in so as they wouldn't hurt
nothing. Well, guess our dreams
don't come true. Good night, Miss
Lefty" ..e-. >..-
Il think sometimes they might
come true, if we give 'em a chance"
whispered the girl.

ical, but very expressive of Jim
Frayne's feelings.
Inside the house Mrs. Ennis looked
at her daughter thoughtfully.
Il don't know as there's going to
be another chance for you, Lefty"
She said cruelty. "But if it came I'd
take it,
How you do talk, mother!" ex-
claimed Lefty Indignantly.
And it was not a week before the
fuse blew out in the parlor.
Jim Frayne was up from the works
the day he received the telephone
call AS before, he fingered a while
in the little garden. The dahlias were
just beginning to blossom, and the
asters were a glory of white and blue.

himself, and went in. The fuse was
in position in jiffy. Again Jim
Frayne found himself enjoying a cup
of tea with Lefty and Mrs. Ennis.

of acidity in her tone.

Frayne, but that electric lights a

You can tell the company to take it

Jim looked at her in regret. 1t
seemed a barbarous reversion; and
there was despair in his heart that
there would be no more opportunities
for talks with Lefty. He had enjoyed

GRIP AND NEURASTHENIA

There is a form of neurasthenia that follows the grip. Doctors call 1t post grippal'' neurasthenia. One of the foremost medical authorities of New York city in lecture in the lnterna- tional clinics, said:
 Broadly speaking, every victim Of the grip will suffer from post-grlppal neurasthenia also. Lowering ot ner- vous tone with increased irritability is the most striking effect of the disease, Ianguor of mind and body, disturbed, fitful sleep and vague pains in the head and elsewhere The treatment calls for rest and tonic.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills, non-alco- holic tonic, are particularly suited for building up the blood and strengthen ing the nerves after an attack of the grip. The rich, red blood expels the lingering germs from the system and transforms Respondent grip victims ln- to cheerful, healthy, happy men and women.
 If you have had the grip get box of Dr. Williams Pink Pills now from the nearest drug store and begin the treatment at once.
 On request we will send you free pamphlet, Building Up the Blood," which contains chapter on the grip. Address the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N, Y.

PLAN TO ORGANIZE
 ASSN. OF VETERANS
Captain H. F. Ladbury Issues Invita- tions to Former Members
 of Co. I.

| With the aim of forming a veterans | association, Captain Henry F. Lad bury of Company I, c. N. G., has is sued invitations to 596 former mem bers of that company to gather aI the state armory on Arch street We'd nesday evening, May 10, when organ ization will be perfected. Some of the foremost residents of the city have been members of Company I, but when they retired from the service many dropped all their military con- nections and lost interest in its activ- ities.
 Captain Ladbury hopes to form a strong veterans association. The on- ject is twofold. It is believed that the present day members of the com pany will gain by stimulated interest in their work, and the organization will also tend to preserve the fine traditions. of the company and place the military service in a higher place in the estimation of the citizens.
 Company I has at present sixty three active members and is doing conspicuous work as one of the livest military organizations in the state.

ANAEM.C PEOPLE
Need More Iron in the Blood.

If you are anaemic, you need more iron in your blood, and the tell-tale symptoms are a pale face-colOr- less lips, ashen finger nails, poor circulation, and short breath, and more serious diseases are easily con tracted when in this condition.
 MT. w. H. Hodges, of Kansas City, Mo. says:-"I suffered from the eff fects of bad blood, was rundown, dizzy, had heada and did not feel like working. I had tried Beef Iron and Wine without any help. After taking Vinol four days I noticed an improvement and its continued use built up my blood and my bad feel ings disappeared like magic.'
 The bad effects of poor, devital- ized blood cannot be overestimated, and it is the peptonate of iron and the true cod liver extracts contained in Vinol, together with beef peptone, that enriches the blood, improves the circulation and in this natural man ner builds up health and strength. Try it on our guarantee. The Clark & Brainerd, Riker-H -Hegeman Druggists. New Britain, Conn.

FIVE MAIL CARRIERS
 MAY LOSE ROUTES
Proposed Changes in Hartford
 County Now Being Considered
Especial to the Herald.)

Washington, May Five rural de- livery routes would be abolished or merged into other routes, and as many rural mail carriers would be dropped from the government pay roll if the reorganization of the rural mail ser vice proposed by the postoffice depart ment is carried out in Hartford coun- ty Connecticut. The reorganization is held up pending a report from Postal Inspector Boushee, who was sent up to investigate the situation as the result of many protests received here.
 The routes that it is proposed to drop are routes No. }, of Southington, and No. 1, each of South Manchester, Unionville, Suffield and Kensington. There would be that many less routes in the county, but the department off cials claim that the whole territory would be covered as well or better than it is now by the rural delivery service.
 Under the reorganization thirty three families in the county would be required to move their mail boxes; 164 families, it is claimed, would get rural delivery service closed to their residences than they now do. There would be a net reduction of $3912 per annum in the cost of operating the ru- ral mail service in the county, it is es- timated.
 That money would be spent in es- tablishing routes in other localities. It would establish five other routes, it Is said, where they are now needed, judging from applications for addi- tiOnal service that are pending before the department.
 The changes proposed in Hartford county would eliminate a lot of dead" travel, where two or more rural mail routes for considerable distances tra- verse the same roads.
 Would Drop Five Carriers.
 The five carriers who would be dropped under the new plan would be those whose official records are lowest it> is said, and not necessar rily those carriers now working on the routes above named that would be merged into other routes.
 Under the reorganization proposed the mail now handled by kensington route No. 1 would be taken up by routes from Southington and Berlin. The mail now delivered on route No. 2, Southington, would be handled by routes from Plantsville and Forest

 Atlanta, Ga, May 1-The new pro- hibition law which became effective at midnight last night will be strict ly observed by the so-called locker clubs and by the liquor interests throughout the state, it is generally believed here today.
