Time is the test of truth. And Doan's
Kidney Pills have stood the test in Rock

suffers bachache, or annoying urinary Ills
can remain unconvinced by this twice

T. B. Covington, Washington

recommend Doan's Kidney Pills
for backache and inflammation of
the BLADDER. Several years ago
was troubled considerably with
my back and kidueys, but after
short use of Doan's the trouble

I couldn't recommend anything
better for the kidneys and blad.

Now that the "War" is over, gentlemen.
Just take tip from me,
There are no more German submarines
A diving through the Sea.
In the Fatherland is Kaiser Bill"
The chap that we have licked:
We will have brand new President,
And his name it will be mick"
In all the German restaurants
You will find sweet ''Colean."
In the fields of waving Sour Krout"
We will plant the Shamrock's Green.
No Liver-worst or sausage where the

Drinks his suds,
But corn.beef and cabbage
And good old Irish Spuds.
The German Bombs and Gas Shells
Well throw them all away:
And make them use the Masons Hold
Or bricks of Irish clay.
There will be no Iron Crosses
It will be Shamrocks they will wear,
When they put this Irish President

Another silence followed upon
stephen Livingstone's question. AT
last it was broken by Cynthia's low
voice:
Thank you, Uncle stephen, for
telling me the truth. ] must think
about what / can do. You are very
kind to try to make it easy for me-
She was surprised at her uncle's
sudden change of demeanor. II do
not want you to think about what
you can do, as you put it. You know
very well that it is a pleasure for us
to have you here. Dora needs you.
She has always needed a sister. We
have been glad to take you into our
home. You say you are grateful.
Then do not think of going from
that home to do some work un-
worthy the daughter of my only sis
ter.
You are fitted for no special line,
as you very we'll know. Were you
an artist, or a writer, or had you
chosen some profession, l might feel
differently. But that my niece
should be a third or fourth-rate e
stenographer or typewriter is too
much for me to endure. l simply
will not have it,"
He was stern, and every trace of
emotion had left his voice.

Cynthia Does Not Tell
Before Cynthia could reply the Ii
brary door was opened by Dora, fol-
lowed by Milton Van Saun.

her father and cousin. What are

"Oh, good afternoon she replied,
laying her hand in his.
Her fingers We're cold and trem

Van Saun held them close. Then
with a keen look into her face, he
left them drop and began to talk so
morrily that his fiancee and her
father laughed at his drollery and
forgot to observe too closely the
black-robed' girl who stood silent, as
if not quite sure what to do next.
Mrs. Livingstones voice in the door
turned the current of thought still
further from Cynthia.
Good evening, Milton!" she ex-
claimed. Il thought L heard you
young people come in. Dora, did

'"Yes, you did. 1 was saying what
fun it would be if he could be in

ton is to be here too. Milton,
why don't you telephone to him."
"Yes, do" Mrs. Livingstone sec
onded, glancing quickly at her
niece, then looking away again.
AS the girls started to leave the
room Mrs. Livingstone detained
Cynthia by hand laid on her arm.
Plenty to Think About
Dear girl" she said suavely, "do
not worry. All will be, well. And
You have your uncle and myself,
you know. Never forget that"
THANK youn' Cynthia murmured.
While Dora dressed she made
sundry comments to her. cousin,
calling them through the door lead
ing into the small room between
her own room and Cynthia's.
cynthia answered when neces-
sary, but it is doubtful if she heard
anything that Dora said. Her mind
was in a whirl. One fact only stood
out against the dark mass of
thought. 1t was the knowledge that
she was no longer independent, that
she had no way of earning a living
and that she would not be allowed
to work If she wished to.
