Grace had learned this lesson long
ago. It was the A B G Of her knowl-
edge. And so, back to Grace came
Palmer Howe, not with suggestion to
renew the old relationship, but for
comradeship.
Christine sulked-he wanted good
cheer; Christine was intOlerant-he
wanted tolerance; she disapprosed Of
him and showed her disapproval-he
wanted approval. He wanted life to
be comfortable and cheerful, without
determinations, little work and much
play, drink when one was thirsty
Distorted though it was, and founded
on a wrong basis, perhaps, deep in his
heart Palmer's only longing was for
happiness; but this happiness must be
of an active sort-not content, which
is passive, but enjoyment.
Come on out" he said. 1--WE got a
car now. No taxi working its head off
for us. Just little run over the coun-
try roads, eh?"
1t was the afternoon of the day be-
fore Christine's night visit to Sidney.
The Office had been closed, owing to
death, and Palmer was in possession
Of a holiday.

"It's your doing, not mine. The
roads are frozen hard; an hours run

back"
Much you care about that. Go and
ride with your wife," said the girl, and
flung away from him.
The last few weeks had filed out her
thin figure, but she still bore traces of
her illness. Her short hair was curled
over her head. She looked curiously
boyish, almost sexless.
Because she saw him vince when
she mentioned Christine, her i'll temper
increased. She showed her teeth.

Children love this 'tfruit laxative"
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels SO nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result is
they become tightly c1ogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, done eat,

Millions of mothers give California

harmless; children love it,. and it new

Cats and Dogs. Come right inside the
tent at your left and there you will see
these things. There is no extra charge
for admission
All the children at once began to
troop to their left through the side
tent.
'What could it mean?" they asked
each other. What surprises they were
getting!
When they were inside the tent how
they did laugh! One of the children
was in a green suit just as Mr.. Frog
would wear and really looking quite
a good deal like a grandson of Grandpa
Frog. He was hopping about singing
in queer croaking voice,
.Galloo, Calico, Goog-a-room, Goog-
a-room."
Another child who looked like a
snake, because she wore an imitation
snakeskin, said, "Come and see the
Snake Lady. eat things whole" And
as she said this she swallowed tiny
crumb for snakes eat things whole.
"I am the Toad-Man, come and see
me-" grunted the Toad-or the child
who was dressed like one,
eve are the Turtle Babies. We
snap, we play, we draw in our heads
under our shells!" And sure enough
they were doing all these tricks.
Their costumes were really quite
wonderful, although they had been
made mostly out of paper.
All the children who were looking on
were quite delighted and said,
"We think you are marvelous!" And
all the children dressed like animals
made bows and said thank you in
voices that sounded great deal like
the voices Of snakes, toads, frogs and
turtles.
But Just then Grandpa Frog was
waking up and his swamp was very
near the spot where the circus was be-
Ing given.
"Whatr he exclaimed. ssHave any
of the children dared to get up before
I said they could? It's spring when ]
get up. Then the winter is over-but
not before" He hurried to the spot
where he heard the frog sounds and
there saw the children all trying to
hop around and talk like he did.
"Ah," he said proudly, putting on his
spectacles for he had had his eyes
closed so long, 'they can't help but
admire me- and he woke up the other
frogs, while the toads, turtles and
snakes seemed to wake up at just about
the same time. All but the snakes hur.
ried to the circus to see what was hap
pening. The snakes were too busy at
once trying to see about their new
spring suits but the rest of the crea.
lures came who had been copied, and
they all thought it great honor to
show them at their waking-up time.

'This way to the big show" some
children were shouting. "Come right
along, they said. ''This is the way to

There were a dozen children giving
q play-circus which was supposed to be
very much like real one. They had
asked all their friends and the money
they received was to go to a children's
ward in a hospital. Everyone of their
friends came and soon the circus be-
gan. First of all there was long
parade while some of the children beat
drums and others played tunes on
combs covered with tissue paper.
Two little girls rode ponies and on
the heads of the ponies sat two mon
keys made of cloth! They had bead
eyes!
"A boy did a lot of fine tricks on a
rocking horse, and there were all the
usual circus tricks, although perhaps
not some of the more difficult ones.

on the platform and said,
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and

"Pape's Diapepsin" relieves

five minutes.

You don't want a slow remedy when
your stomach is bad-or an uncertain
one-or a harmful one-your stomach
is too valuable; you mustn't injure it
with drastic drugs.
Pape's Diapepsin is noted for it's
speed in giving relief; it's harmless
ness; its certain unfailing action in
regulating sick, sour gassy stomachs.
It's quick relief in indigestion, dyspep
STA and gastritis when caused by acid
ity has made it famous the world over.
Keep this wonderful stomach sweet
ener in your home-keep it handy-get

something which doesn't agree with
them if what they eat lays like lead

remember as soon as Pape's Diapep-
sin comes in contact with the stomach
it helps to neutralize the excessive
acidity then all the stomach distress
caused by it disappears. Its prompt
ness, certainty and ease in overcom-
ing such stomach disorders is a reye-
