Colorado Springs last May. At times
there seemed to be signs of improve
ment but never a substantial gain in
strength although the patient never
seemed to suffer pain until a few
weeks before he passed away, this he
bore with fortitude and patience and
was always cheerful. He was CONVEX
ted and a member of the Presbyterian
church and awaited anxiously the
time when he should go to his eternal
home for which he was well prepared.

NOTICE TO FARMERS
J. W. Bingham.

A. c. McStay calls at this Office and
asks US to warn the farmers about
planting seed corn before testing it.
Mr.. McStay has made quite extern
sive tests and finds that only about
one-eight of the seed corn terminates.
Farmers be careful of this for there
seems to be a large amount of poor
seed corn on the market. Investigate
before planting for it may mean
thousands of dollars loss if care is
not taken in this matter.

DandruH Surely
Destroys the Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it If you
don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash 1t out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it. then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply 1t at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
By morning. most IL not all. of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will com
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of 1t.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop.
and your hair will look and feel 4
hundred times better. You can get
LIQUID arvon at any drug store. II
is inexpensive and four ounces is Ali
you will need, no matter how much
dandruff you have. This simple
remedy never fails.

friends"
Dora started up and clutched
Cynthia by the shoulders. Now that
she was N a sitting posture, the
light reflected from the street be-
low showed her face very white, her
hair much tumbled, her eyes wide
and dark.
You mean-you mean"-she stam-
mered-'that your engagement is
brokenI
Yes, 1 mean just that Dora, my
dear. But if had known that it
would upset you to hear about it,
wouldn't have told you of it until
tomorrow. Do lie down. You will
make your head worse"
L want to hear all about it," Dora
insisted. Go ahead. Tell me-"
Then lie down." Cynthia ordered.
There is not much to tell" she con-
tinued when her cousin had obeyed
her. The sick girls uneven breath
ing proved that she was still excit-
ed. and Cynthia hurried on through
the recital.
Il thought fancied-that Gerald
loved me. and that he was unhappy
because of me. He-well-he fancied
the same thing about me. So he
asked me to marry him out of pity
for me. l accepted him out of pity
for him. I told him the truth to-
night He told me the truth. That
is ALL"
There was a long silence. When
Dora spoke it was in tense, strain
ed voice.
Gym, I want you to do something
for me at once"
What, dear?"
Telephone to Milton that I must
see him tomorrow, no matter. what
happens. Do you understand"
But" Cynthia demurred, "it is
half-past ten. The telephone might
startle Mr.. Van Saun. For all we
know, everybody may be in bed"
Then give me my portfolio and
some paper" Dora commanded. L
will write to Milton. Let one of the
servants take the note to the corner
and post it at once. Milton will get
it by the first delivery in the morn
ing. I must see him, Gym"
But when Cynthia had switched on
the light and brought the portfolio.
Dora's hand trembled so that she
could scarcely hold her pen.
Gym" she pleaded, do write TO
Milton Tor me! Just tell MIN tnat
I asked you to do it. You will not
mind, will you, dear? He need not
know that you know why 1 want to
see him"
without a word, Cynthia sat down
at the desk. drew a sheet of paper
toward her and wrote:
Dear Milton-Dora has a head
ache. so is not quite equal to writ
ing herself.
She has asked me to tell you that
she would like you to come to see
+ her without fail tomorrow. Per-
haps you can stop on your way up
from the office in the afternoon. Let
her know when to expect you.
Hastily, Cynthia"
Dora read the note handed to her.
Good she approved. Now ad-
dress the envelope, stamp it and

Advice to the LoveIorn

Dear Miss Fairfax:-I am going
around with a fellow who is sixteen
and | am fifteen. Please tell me what
time you think l should come in at
night. OF course l am not with him
all the time. We walk around the
street part of the evening. l do not
want to be out too late for my age.
Please give me advice.-ANNA.
Dear Anna:-Of course l know il
is hard these warm evenings of long
twilights to remain indoors in the
evening, and l appreciate fully the
delights of strolling in the balmy
summer air. But for a girl of your
age to stroll on the streets after nine
o'clock is too late, as it is never per-
missable for even older people to
be wandering about the streets in the
evenings. OF course your friend call
at your home for you, and takes YOU
out with your parents permission?
If not, 1t is not the correct thing to
meet him on the street, as such a
practice leads to worse and less inno-
cent pleasures. With your mothers
permission. it is proper for you to
entertain callers until 10 o'clock at
your age.

THEIR MARRIED LIFE

She used to be a peach when 1
knew her. remarked Warren, fling
ering the lavender envelope that he
| held in his hand.
She did" responded Helen some
what lukewarmly.
Yes, a good locker. and the best

country" Dragged Warren. I'd

! for tea or dinner, whatever you like.
Feel as if l ought to do something
you know. She took the trouble to
look us up"
Helen choked back the remark
that it wasn't really necessary and
said instead: Certainly, dear, but
why not ask her out somewhere :?
If she's from the west she ought to
be eager to see the big hotels. A
quiet home dinner might not appeal
to her"
Hum" said Warren shortly

you're right this time, besides y

And so 1t was arranged that War
rem was to fix things over the tele-
phone and that Helen was to come
down to the office that evening, so
that they could both meet Miss
Emery in some convenient place and
take her out to dinner. Helen was
no more eager than any other wo-
man to entertain her husband S
former sweetheart, and Warren's s
constant reiteration that the girl was
a wonder, somehow irritated her
more than she cared to admit.
A hundred times in the course of
the afternoon she changed her mind
about what she should wear, and
she finally wished desperately that

Warren could have taken the Won

doubt he would have preferred it

Now don't get into one of those
sullen moods" Warren said crisp

people beside themselves were in the
elevator and Warren's tone was loud
enough to be overheard. She felt
shamed and humiliated.

Cynthia went softly into her own

dreaded duty, and instead of causing
misery, as she had feared. she had
made another heart lighter. She and
Gerald Stewart had been on the edge
of a precipice. Her honesty had
saved them both from disaster.
She would not look ahead just yet.
