90 the dress was bought and paid
for. 1t was to be sent to my home
~ that night. l knew l would have
to be there to receive it and to think,
before it came, of some excuse to give
my mother for having bought it.
But now came the reckoning on the
heels of my triumph. No sooner had
the girl in the shop taken Mr.. Kennedy S
monsy pay for the gown he had selected
tor me than he had turned and asked
me if 1 would not take "a nice little taxi
drive" in the park with him. 1 certain
ly did not wish to do anything of the
kind. Even in my ignorance of all the
man might mean by his suggestion it
held no attraction for me. AS a matter
of fact, my one thought was to thank
Mr.. Kennedy and to get away from him
as quickly as possible However, l
could not see under the circumstances
how this was to be done. l was too
little versed in the ways of the world,
TOO much of a child, to be able to think
quickly enough to get myself out Of an
awkward situation. Accordingly, when
1 hesitated a moment, Mr.. Kennedy said
with a sharp look:
You haven't any other date, have
your
1 replied with forced cordially in my
voice:
"Oh. no! No, indeed! I would like
to go for taxi rider
Five minutes later l was standing
on the sidewalk with this mans hand
at my elbow while we waited to hail our
vehicle. In a moment or two taxi had
drawn up near the curb and:
Put that top up, will you, chauf-
feur?" suggested Mr.. Kennedy as l
climbed into the motor.
"Oh. don't you think the air is
nice?" 1 protested.
THE air may be nice enough" my
escort replied, but the sun is hot"
l saw the chauffeur grin as he pulled
the top of the taxi up over us and fast
ened it to the front glass. L heard Mr..
a few words. Then we were threading
our way through the congested after
noon traffic toward the park. For a
while / sat still, unthinking and happy,
with the warm spring air playing on
my face and stirring the hair on my
forehead 1 sat still and did not even
move when ! lelt Mr.. Kennedy's hand
closing over mine where it lay listless-
ly beside Ipe on the seat. why not"
/ asked myself. One must pay some
little thing Tor the gifts of the gods!
And since tins man had bought me the
dress l had been coveting was there any
harm, if he round pleasure in it, in per-
hitting him 20 cling to my wrist and
fingers? Then, as we rolled into more
shaded drive, he leaned and kissed me.
I turned my face away, but that was in
stinct. 1t was because 1 did not like the
man himself. He was repulsive to me.

My mother was really interested at

Good news spreads rapidly and drug
gists here are kept busy dispensing free

A quarter of an ounce costs very lit

sufficient to rid ones feet of every hard

You apply just a few drops on the
tender. aching corn and instantly the
soreness is relieved, and soon the corn
IS so shriveled that it lifts out with
out pain. 1t is a sticky substance which
dries when applied and never infames

HIGH PRICES WITH FooDsTUFs.


There is an object lesson to agricul-
turists in the present high prices of
eatables, stock feed and fruits, and
sugar-raising and embarrassing, etc.,
that should stay, in their minds and
start them off in the coming crop year
with determination and eager interest.
They are facing one of the most diff
cult eras of American history, and the
year 1917 will either show a strong,
united and capable farming class in this
country or a great big mass of people
who are helpless in the tolls of greedy
spectators. Everything that a farmer
can spare or produce on his land finds
ready sale. Chickens and all poultry
are soaring in prices. Milk and butter
are almost as high in Georgia as they
are in Belgium. The war in Europe had
no connection with American sugar, but
the spectators have bought up the
sugar of this country and are boarding
it for famine prices.
A terrible explosion and conflagra-
ton in New York harbor last October
brought out the fact that forty million
tons of raw sugar were stored close by
and which were burned in black ruin,
awaiting the time when sugar would
bring, like cotton, 20 cents a pound. 1t
is the speculator who is getting fat on
the neCeSSilleS Oh the american people.
1t was the Spectator of the Confeder-
acy that boarded wealth while the help
less and the innocent were almost ready
to starve. In the year 1917 prepare to
raise everything that man or beast or
fowl can eat, to the extent of your abil-
ity, dear Georgia and southern farmer!
Cotton will bring good prices. no doubt
of it, but the great necessity is cheaper
and more plentiful foodstuffs. l see
congress is getting ready to talk on
the subject, but the place to talk now
is around your own Preside, and a reso-
luton to put seed and roots and grain
in the ground that will give our own
people plenty to eat, and make cotton
a surplus and money-saving crop. Be
wise, dear farmersi
