IN THE SPRING

will be the great test of life and death
struggle on the Western front. In the
everyday walks of life, it is the spring
time that brings i'll health. One OF the
chief reasons why the rundown man
finds himself in a bad state of health in
March or April, is because he has spent
nearly all his hours for the past four or
five months penned up within the walls
of house, factory or office. Ii il the rea.
son for our diminished resistance-that
is, lack of outdoor life, coupled with
perhaps over-eating, lack of good exer.
else, insufficient sleep, and constipation.
In other words, we keep feeding the
furnace with food but do not take out
the "clinkers." and our fire does not burn
brightly. Always keep the liver active.
There is nothing better for health than
taking an occasional mild laxative, per-
haps once week; such one as you
can get at any drug store, made up Of
May'apple, .j9lap,, aloes, ,(sugar-coated,
tiny, easily taken }, which has stood the

CHAPTER XVI.
The Girl Who Wouldn't Propose.

II took a long time for Carol to re-
cover from the effect of Lark's disloy-
atty. as she persisted In calling IL. For
several weeks she didn't twinkle at all.
But when ut last the smiles came easy
again, she wrote to Mr.. Duke, her
p'fessor no longer, but now full
fiedged young minister. She apollo
giZed sweetly for her long delay.
But you Will forgive me when you
rave read this" she wrote. "Cupid is
working havoc in our family. OF
course no one outside the home circle
knows yet, but insisted on telling you
because you have been such grand
good friend to us for so long. We may
seem young to you, because you can't
forget when we were freshmen, but
we are really very grown up. We act
quite mature now, and never think of
playing jokes. But l didn't finish my
news, did II"

whole family is very happy about IL
he IL great favorite with everyone.
But how our family is going to pieces
Still since IL is jim He is nice,
isn't he? But you wouldn't dare say
no."
Carols eyes glittered wlckedly as
she sealed this letter, which she had
penned with greatest care. And a few
days later, when the answer came. she
danced gleefully up the stairs--not ut
all mature in manner, and locked the
door behind her while she read:
Dear Carol.
Indeed am very Interested, and I wish
you all the JOY in the world. Tell Jim for
me how very much / think he is to be
congratulated. lie seems "A fine fellow
and / know you win be happy. II was a
surprise, l admit knew he was doing

know. and want once more 20 hope you
may be the happiest woman in the world.
You deserve 10 be.
Very sincerely your friend
DAVID A. DUKE.
Carol lay down on the bed and
crushed the letter ecstatically between
Yer hands. Then she burst out laugh
ng. Then she cried little nervously,
and laughed again. Then she smoothed
the letter affectiooately. ana curled up
on the bed with pad of paper and

We're all SO fond of Jim that II really is

know you're awfulIy busy, OF course,
and hate to intrude. but you must write
one little postal card to apologize for
your error and I'll understand how hard
you are working when you do not write
again.
Hastily. but always sincerely.
CAROL.
Carol jumped up and caught up her
hat and rushed all the way downtown
to the postofiice to get that letter
started tor Danville, Illinois, where the
Rev. Mr.. Duke was located. Her face
was so radiant, and her eyes were so
heavenly blue, and so sparkling bright
that people on the street turned to
look after her admiringly.
She was feverishly impatient until
the answer arrived, and was not at all
surprised that IL came under special
delivery stamp, though Lark lifted her
eyebrows quizzically, and Aunt Grace
smiled suggestively, and her father
looked up with sudden questioning in
his face. Carol made no comment, only
ran up to her room and locked the door
once more.
Carol. you awful little scamp, you did
that on purpose. and you know it. You
never mentioned Lark's name. Well, IL
you wanted TO give me the scare of my
life. you succeeded. OF course. I don't
want to lose my little chum. and knew
very well that no man I'm his proper
senses would allow his sweetheart to be
as good n comrade to another man as
want you to be to me. OF course / was
disappointed. OF course | expected to be
busy for n while. or course 1 failed to
see the sterling worth of Jim Forrest.
see II now, though. l think he's n prince,
and as near worth being In your family
as anybody could be. I'm sure we'll be
great friends. and tell Lark for me that
i am waxing enthusiastic over his good
qualities oven to the point of being in
articulate. Tell her how happy 1 am
over It, n good deal happier than I've beer
for the past several days. and i am wish
ing them both a world OF Joy. I'm hav-
ing one myself. and 1 find It well worth
having. 1 could shake you. Carol. for
playing such trick on me. 1 can just see
you crouch down and giggle when you

Is coming. think I'll run down to
Mount Mack next week to see my uncle

her eyes.

circumstances she will probably place
her order with c. l. Evenson, the gro
