with him. While we were out he
tried to put his arm around me, but
1 would not allow it. 1 was so sur
prised at his action that l did not
know what to say, but just removed
his arm. Do you think his action
proper, considering our friendship? 4?
l dearly love his sister, but don't
know whether l ought to say any
thing to her about this, as it has
made me feel so bad that 1 could

not know what will do If ever he
is at home when I visit his sister
He never said anything to me to war

Your letter brings out q point I
want to emphasize, viz, the differ
ence between propriety and prudery
the distinction between dignity and
straitlaced hypocrisy. Surely any
girl with common sense ought to
recognize that a boy she has known
for fifteen years and has known to
be q gentleman for all those years

porch steps. The minutes piled into
hours and noon came when Linda
wakened. Stella forced herself to
swallow a cup of tea, to eat food
then she left Linda sitting with her
husband and went back to the porch
steps again.
AS she sat there a man dressed in
the blue shirt and mackinaw

burly woodsman that she recognized
as one of Jack Fyfe's crew.

Jack. Say-ah"-s
He broke off suddenly. a perplexed
look on his face. an uneasiness, a
hesitation in his manner.
What is it, Barlow" Stella asked
kindly. How is everything up the
lake.
1t was common enough in her ex-
perience, that temporary embarrass-
men' of a logger before her. She
knew them for men with boyisn
souls, boyish instincts, rude simple
tiles of heart. Long ago she had
revised those first superficial esti-
mates of them as gross, hulking
brutes who worked hard and drank
harder, coarsened and calloused by
their occupation. They had their
weaknesses, but their virtues of
abiding loyalty. their reckless gem
erosity, their simple directness, were
great indeed. They took their lives
in their hands on skid road and
springboard that such as she might
flourish. They did not understand
that, but she did.
What is it, Barlow?" she re-
peated. Have you just come down
the lake?"
"Yes'm." he answered. "say, Jack
don't happen to be here, does hep"
No; he hasn't been here" she told
him.
The mans face fell.
whats wrong?" Stella de-
manded. She had swift divination
that something was wrong.
"Oh, I dunno's anything's wrong

well, Lefty he sent me down to see
if Jack was at the Springs. We
amt seen him for a couple uh days"
Her pulse quickened.
"And he has not come down the
lake?"
Il guess not" the logger said.
"Oh, I guess it's all right. Jacks

Lefty got uneasy. It's desperate hot
and smoky up there
How did you come down? Are
you going back soon?" she asked alb
ruptly.
II got the Waterbug," Barlow told
her. I'm goin' right straight
back"
Stella looked out over the smoky
lake and back at the logger again.

able uncertainty, of feeling that
she could only characterize as fear.

|Magnesia Baths
; For Indigestion
Doctor Recommends Them In Place
of Drugs, Pepsin, Soda or
Artificial Digestents

only those in constant touch with
sufferers from indigestion and dvs-
pepsia can fully realize the harm done
by the improper use of artificial di
gestents or drugs like pepsin or soda
pills and tablets in the treatment Of
stomach trouble" declares a well
known physician.
In fully nine cases out of ten di-
gestive trouble is caused by an excess
Of hydrochloric acid in the stomach
which sours and ferments the food
creating gas on the stomach and often
causing intense pain or burning
The forcing Of food from stonacb
to intestines with artificial digestents
in such case is almost criminal foiiv
as serious intestinal indigestion may
very easily follow. Instead the stom,
ach should be given a magnesia bath
to clean out the acids, sWeeten the
food contents. soothe and allay infiame
walls and thus permit the normal
healthy digestion of the food.
You can give your acid infiamed
stomach no finer treatment than a
pleasant to take, cannot inture tbe
stomach and is not at all expensive
Just get u small bottle of Bisurated
Magnesia (either tablets or powder)
of the powder or two tablets in a glass
of water and drink it at every meal
for few days and your stomach will
as act ana thdt ieeI m hne: 1t must be UNDER
such forms of magnesia as citrates
acetates. sulphates. milks or lump
magnesia. One of these might do
nothing but pure bisurated mngnesin
should be used to neutralize an acid
stomach. This form is not difficult
to obtain. The best druggists have ii
and in the bisurated tablet or powder
form 1t will instantly neutralize stom-
ach acidity and insure painless, natural
digestion for even chronic sufferers
from stomach trouble.

you and Jack be able to save any
timber?"
''If it should rain hard and if ir
the meantime the boys keep it from
jumping the fire trails we've cut IL

But Jacks done for. He won't
have anything but his donkeys and
gear, and part of cedar limit on
the Tyee which isn't paid for. He
had practically everything tied up
in that big block of timber around
the point. Monohan made him
spend money like water to hold his
own. Jacks broke"
Stella's head dropped. Benton
reached out an ak calloused hand,
all grimy and Drowned from the
stress of fire fighting and covered
her soft fingers that rested on his
bed.
It's a pity everything's gone to
pot like that, SteH," he said softly.
"I'v grown a lot wiser in human
ways the last two years. You
taught me lot, and Jack lot, and
Linda the rest. 1t seems a blamed
shame you and Jack came to a fork
in the road. Oh, he never chirped.
I've guessed it the last few weeks.
I owe him lot that he'll never let
me pay back in anything but good
will. l hate to see him get the worst
of it from every direction. He
grins and doesn't say anything. But
/ know it hurts. There can't be
anything much wrong between you
two. Why don't you forget your
petty larceny troubles and start all
over again."

and your corns and foot troubles are
ended 1t takes the soreness right
out, then the corn or callous shriVels
and lifts off.

how many times you have been disap-
pointed here is real help for you at
last.
You will never have to cut a corn
again or bother with bungling tape
or plasters.
Hard corns. soft corns or corns be-
tween the toes, just shrivel up and
lift off so easy. It's wonderful. You
feel no pain or soreness when apply
ing Ice-mint or afterwards. 1t doesn't
even irritate the skin.

ing feet. Ice-mint imparts such a de-
lightful cooling. soothing feeling to
the feet that ii just makes you sigh

sweet and comfortable.
1t costs little and will give your
poor, tired, suffering, swollen feet the
treat of their lives. Sold and recon-
mended by good druggists everywhere.

Human nature is funny thing,
( said Helen to Louise, who ha(
dropped in to have a quiet chat.
why, what are you thinking oi
| dear?" Louise queried.
"Oh, something that happened this
morning over at the library!" =
do you still belong to your Ii.
brary?"
Yes, and l am glad I do. I have
read more books on the war and or
things 1 am interested in than 1 ever
would have If l hadn't been connect
ed with it."
We'll, what about the incident
you had in mind?'
"Oh. yesl Well. you remember
Miss Walsh, that awfully attractive
girl who has charge there?"
II certainly do"
Can you imagine anyone trying
to hurt that girl in any way'?'
Louise dropped her work, now
thoroughly interested. why, no,
Helen, / should say not"
Dealing with Thief
We'll, when l got in there she
was in the midst of the most embar-
RAISING situation. l couldn't help
hearing the entire thing, because
there was no privacy about it, I
wandered about for a time looking
at books, but / couldn't help hearing
everything, the place is so tiny.
1T seems that one of the subscrib-
ers was arguing with Miss Walsh
about a certain book that had been
taken out. I stole look at her, and
she was a flambouyant-looking crea-
ture-lip rouge, and a veil with q
heavy mesh.
Miss Walsh said. L don't like to
contradict you, bait I saw you take
the book
why, didn't you call after me?'
the woman asked. must have
taken 1t absent mindedly, If took 1t
at all, but I'm absolutely positive I
didn't take it
Miss Walsh kept getting redder,
but she resolutely held to her
ground.
"'Oh, yes you did, she insisted. I
had waited on VouS and then you
stopped at the shelf and took book
from it and walked out
"Goodness!" gasped Louise, inter
rupting here. "I don't see how the
girl dared to do it,"
Fitted For Success
well, Miss Walsh is like that,
Louise. She knew she was right and
she simply dotes on that library.
You mark my words, she'll make
her way41 this world. She's exactly
the kind of girl needed in the busi-
ness world"
We'll. go on" Louise said quickly
"Oh, yesl Well, the woman looked
just as unconcerned. There she was,
seated behind the counter, one hand
on her hip, in the most nonchalant
way, and an innocent look on her
face a" though she was trying to
puzzle the thing out"

feels as If she We're his sister-may
put his arm around her to express
the very affection and comradeship
of which she has spoken. How can
you be so evil-minded as to find in
suit or impropriety in that simple
action? If your own mental atti-
tude is simple and fine and sweet a
situation like this need have no more
of suggestiveness of evil in it than
if it were his sister who had slipped
her arm around you. Too many girls
nowadays have desire to read harm
into simple situations-to interpret
in terms of emotion and sex actions
which are only based on affection
and human interest
