she asked, Isn't yours?'
81 laughed. No, dear, 1t is far from

@'Then you never loved Earnest
Lawton,' she said with conviction.
"'Yes, dear. did, answered with
quiet conviction. 4 loved him so much
that l put him on a pedestal and Wor:

that my idol had feet Of clay
"'What happened then?' asked Alma.
az pulled it down and although 1t
hurt me more than hope ever to be
hurt again, although 1t took something
cute my life than can never replace,

"Alma brought out little bag she
had been wearing in her bosom. From
It she took a piece Of folded paper, LIS

"'she crowned him with a laurel

She laid her head upon his heart
And hoped that 1t might heal the smart
Of grief in joys disguise.
And said ''he always understands
That good within me lies;
Blindly she worshipped and adored

young man came down from the
house.
The son was the young Mr.. Graves
the girl had met in the city!
The two bowed rather Coldly to each
other when introduced by the mother.
Ibid you forget something when
you left here" asked Mrs. Rogers.
ooh, no. came back on an errand.
Mr.. Graves, your bank at Chester was
robbed few weeks ago."
Yes" he almost groaned.
"And the robbers have not been
caught nor the money recovered?"
NO"

Eyes, if the packages had not been
broken. There were four OF them, OF
$500 each"
II think this belongs to you'll" she
quietly said as she handed over the
satchel.
Upon my SOUL" he gasped as he
saw the money. But how-when-
where-did you find it,"
"Mr. Graves, you and / had dispute
in New York some time ago about
ouails and chipmunks. l want you to
call at the Larches and let me prove
to you that quails fly low and straight
ahead, and that chipmunks prefer hol-
low logs to standing trees"
And when she had practically dem
onstrated her assertions, he began call
ing every few days to beg her pardon,
and It looks as If she would have to
wed him before he can feel that he has
been forgiven.

Opposite the Larches was field

across the road and gave it a fling. 1t
fell among the wheat a hundred feet

NEW YoRK.-T The lingerie dress
very often departs, this season, from
the tubable kind of sheerness. 1t is
made of perishable tule and unwash'
able satin quite as often as it is made
of practical handkerchief linen and
val.
A stunning new model is Of delicate
net bound, buttoned, girdled and yok-
ed with satin. A unique bolero Of
heavy luce makes this attractive frock
substantial enough for wearing at
garden parties and other midsummer
social functions.

friend in the city that Miss Lena

Miss Rives was the daughter Of the
Widow Rtves Of the manor house, the

Mr. Graves was employed in bank

There was talk Of this and that,
and 1t finally turned on the country.

he might be out among the woods and

Miss Lena was little more curious
and enterprising than her mother In
time she learned that quail was not

was employed now and then to assist
the gardener, told her lots and lots
Of things about animals and bird and
plant life. Some of it she had forgot
ten the next day, and some of it she
stored away.
Miss Lena wasn't perfection. She
had the usual number Of faults and
among them was that of Speaking

When young Mr.. Graves spoke of the
quails sailing round and round and
the chipmunks springing from tree to

"Atd, Mr. Graves, must insist that

That closed the conversation on nat

satisfied
Il don't believe she knows chip

to himself.

Some weeks later, when Miss Lena

Widow Rogers, who lived mile away.
After the greetings the widow said:

"And he failed?"

HEALTH HINTS

A great deal Of the summer diar.
rhea of infants is due to impure milk.
Many times this condition is thought
to be due to teethtng, while as a mat.
ter of fact 1t is due to infected food.
The purest milk may become con.
taminated by improper handling, after
it leaves the dairy. The mother can
therefore do a whole lot to safeguard
the health of her children.
II milk is left on the porch for a
long period of time it collects dust
and dirt, draws flies and increases in
temperature. Dogs and cats may also
have access to 1t,
Where the milk is delivered early
in the morning box should be provid.
ed for the milk bottles.
The milk should be taken into the
house as soon as possible. 1t should
be placed in cool place, preferably
In an ice box. The colder it is kept
the longer 1t will keep sweet.
The changes which take place in
milk are caused by germs. The germs
increase In number very slowly if the
milk is kept cold.
Milk should be kept in the original
bottle until needed The bottle should
be cleaned before pouring out the milk
The cap should be removed by clean
fork or other instrument After the
cap has been taken off, the bottle
should be covered with tumbler. The
refrigerator should be kept sweet and
clean and scalded frequently.
