Our boys are defending this country
on the high seas and on the land. Our
own defense against common enemy
is to keep the system clean by Kidding
the body of the toxins, or poisons, which
are bred in the intestines. When you
feel tired, sleepy, headachy, when your
breath is offensive, or pimples appear
on the face and neck, it is time to recog-
nize the danger and protect your bodily
health by taking something for the liver
such as DR.. Pierces Pleasant Pellets.
The machinery Of the body needs to
be oiled, kept in good condition, just as
the guns or machinery Of ship. Why
should human person neglect his own
machinery more than that Of his auto
mobile or his guns? Yet most people
do neglect themselves. Their tongue
has dark brown color, skin sallow,
breath bad, yet they fail to see that
their machinery needs attention.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets have
been known for nearly half a century.
They are made Of May-apple, leaves Of
aloe and jalap, made into tiny pellet
and coated with sugar. They are stand
ard and efficacious. You can obtain
them at any drug store in Walls for
twenty-five cents. Ask for DIR. Pierce's

An Uncertain Birthday.

He is trifle absent-minded, but a
most dutiful brother and he congratu-
lated himself that he had never yet
missed sending his sister greetings for
her birthday. Feeling that her birth
day was imminent, but not certain
whether it was the sixteenth or seven
teenth, he dispatched his usual card
a few days ago. To make certain Of
avoiding mistakes, however, he omit
ted the date.
A few days later he received a note
from his sister, saying that she real
ized she was old enough to be called
Of uncertain age, and so she presumed
the date of her birth was growing cor
respondingly uncertain, but three
birthday cards from him in one month
was a little too much, even for her,
and would he please change from birth
day to Christmas or Easter greetings,
as the little town in which she lived
was very gossipy, and so many birth
days might occasion talk.-Indianapo-

CHAPTER XXI.
Frederica's Paradox.

Frederica'S Paradox.
Two days later Rodney walked in
on Frederick at breakfast, alone.
"Hello !" Frederick said, holding out
hand to him, but not rising. "Just
in time"
"Don't ring" he said quickly. ''Tve
had all I want. My train got in an
hour ago and had a try at the sta
tion restaurant"
"Well, sit down, anyway" said
Frederica. She reached out cool,
soft hand and laid it on one Of Rod
ney's which rested Imply on the table.
There was rather long silence-ten
seconds, perhaps. Then:
"How did you find out about it?''
Rodney asked.
They were both too we'll accustomed
to these telepathic shortcuts to take
any note of this one. She'd seen that
he knew, just with her first glance at
him there in the doorway; and some
thing a little tenderer and gentler
than most Of her caresses about this
one, told him that she did.
"Harriet's back" she said. "She got
in day before yesterday. Constance

ing she knew. They've thought all
aleng that you and knew, too" And

Again all she could do was to ask
him, with q bewildered stammer, what

"Started!" he echoed. "Do you
think I'm going to let this beastly
farce go any further?"
And with that he told her what

noon, told her of the attitude Of his
friends, how they'd all known about
it-undoubtedly had come to see for
themselves, and, out of pity or con-
tempt, hadn't told him. He told
her how he'd felt, sitting there in
the theater. He accused her as his
wrath burned brighter, of having Sc
lected the thing to do that would hurt
him worst, of having borne grudge
against him and avenged it.
It was the ignoblest moment of his
life, and he knew it. The accusa-
tions he was making against her were
nothing to those that were storing up
in his mind against himself.
He didn't look at her as he talked,
and she didn't interrupt; said no word
of denial or defense. The big out.
burst spent itself. He lapsed into an
uneasy silence, got himself together
again, and went on trying to restate
his grievance-this time more reason
ably, retracting a little. But under
her continued silence he grew weak
ly irritated again.
When at last she spoke, he turned
his eyes toward her and saw a sort of
frozen look in her dull white face that
he had never seen in it before. Her
intonation was monotonOus, her voice
scarcely audible.

she gave faint Shudder there at the
alternative, "I'm glad I've got job
and that I can pay back that hundred
dollars I owe you. I've had it quite
while. But I've kept it, hoping you
might find out where I was and come
to me, as you did, and that we might
have chance TO talk. I thought I'd
tell you how I'd earned it, and that
you'd be a little-proud with me
about it, proud that could pay it
back so soon."
She smiled little over that, smile

her apparent calm was broken. Then,

Retribution.

r. D. Cooper, president of the Dairy
mems league, said at a banquet in
New York:
Farmers should marry. A bachelor
farmer is a sOlecism. No farmer,
though, should marry a wife as he
buys a tractor-for the work he can
get out of her."
Mr.. Cooper smiled.
"The farmer who marries," he ended,
thinking he can do nothing without
wife, is apt to discover afterward that
he can do nothing with her."

him to go away, if he had any mercy
for her at all, quickly and without a
