"Hm-mmi"

HLOYD CARSON was a phlegmatic
young man. but he swore an as
tonished oath when he saw Billy
Louise galloping along the lane that
led nowhere except to the womanless
abode of Samuel Seabeck. He walked
very fast to the stable. which was the
frst logical stopping place. and so he
met Billy Louise before she had time
to dismount, even supposing she In.

"Hello, Floyd! Is Mr.. Seabeck al
home?"
"Sure. Get off. and I'll put up your
horse. We're just through eatin'. but

mo. l can't stop this time. I'm not
hungry, anyway. just give a yell for
Mr.. Seabeck, will you? l wan to see
him a minute"
Floyd eyed her uncertainty. decided
that Billy Louise was not In the mood
tn yield to persuasion. and tactfully
hurried off to find Seabeck without
shouting for him-lest he bring others
also. who were evidently not wanted at
all. He took 1t that Billy Louise felt
some diftidence about visiting a strict
~ bachelor outfit. and he set himself
to relieve her of any embarrassment.
: Presently Seabeck himself came
from the. dirt-roofed. rambling cabin
which was his horne and strobe down
the path, buttoning his coat as he
came. Floyd's face showed for a min
ute in the doorway before he effaced
himself completely, and not another
mar was in sight anywhere. Billy Lou

"Oh, not at all !" Seabeck stubbed
his toe on the stable doorsill in his
confusion at the praise. "Ill be right
along. o as l can slip a saddle on"
He disappeared, and Billy Louise
turned and Hoped slowly down the
hna.

a long, long time.

"Oh. Marthy I" cried Billy Louise,
with the sound of tears in her voice.

Ward grunted something and after
wards signifed that he would take the
coffee and call 1t square.
The next time she went lear him he
was wrinkling his lear nose because
beads Of perspiration were standing
there and slipping occasionally down
to his cheeks.

she added tremendously, "always has a

It's like a horse wiggling his ears"
The comparison reminded her that
she intended to shut Rather in the
hay corral; she dried Wards hands
hastily, pulled the wolf-skins of the
bed, and commanded him to keep COW
cred until she came back. She ran
down bareheaded to the stable, saw
Rather industriously boring his nose
into the stack, and put up the gate.
When she went into the cabin again,
Ward gave a start and opened his eyes
like n who had been DOING. Billy
Louise smiled with qualification. He

She did mo- speak, but went over to
the stove and pretended to be busy
there, though she was careful to make
no noise. When she turned finally and
glanced toward the bed. Ward was

Better Than Calome]
Thousands Have Discovered Dr..
Edwards Olive Tablets Are
a Harmless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive TabIets-the
substitute for calomel-are a mild
but sure laxative, and their effect on
the liver is almost instantaneous.
They are the result of DR.. Edwards
determination not to treat liver and
bowel complaints with calomel. His
efforts to Danish it brought out
these little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure
the teeth like strong liquids or calo-
mel. They take hold Of the trouble
and quickly correct it Why cure
the liver at the expense Of the
teeth? Calomel sometimes plays
havoc with the gums. So do strong
liquids. 1t is best not to take Gallo.

Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "duIlness" and
that lazy feeling come from consti-

how they "clear" clouded brain and
how they "perk up" the spirits.

patches from Holland report there Is
| a probability Of another turnover in
the German chancellorship. The Ber-
lin National Zeitung prints a report
of meeting held Saturday by an in
| terparty committee, at which discus
sion turned to the letter Prince Maxi
| milan wrote to Prince Alexander of
Hohenlohe, revealing a markedly diff
ferent attitude in political affairs
from that proposed in his recent ad-
dress before the reichstag.
The committee, according to the
newspaper, recognized the situation
produced by the publication Of the
letter rendered Primo Maximilian's re-
tention in Office doubtful.
The fact that rumors are current in
certain circles in Berlin that Prince
Maximilian's retirement is inevitable
also is reported in the National lei
tung.
Predicts Resignation.
Rotterdam reports to the Telegraph
say that Prince Maximilian's resigna-
ton Is probable, and that his probable
successor will be DR.. W. S. Solf. the
new foreign minister, or Philip
Scheidemann, secretary Of state with
out portfolio.
The correspondent attributes this
development to the Imminent abdica-
ton of the kaiser" which he says the
kaiser wished to announce two months
ago. but was dissuaded by the en-
press and others.
The dispatch reiterates the story
that Emperor William is suffering
from a mental depression which is
causing his friends anxiety.
Here is a sidelight on Prince Maxi
milan, Germany's latest exponent of
Decentralization" Of the empire. In
letter to his cousin, Prince Alex
ander of Hohenlohe, last January, he
wrote:
Il am astonished at the various in
terpretations put upon my (sermon
on the mount) speech. The
kaiser-this is entire nous-sent me a
telegram congratulating me and call
ing my speech a high feat On the
one hand the pan-Germans fall upon
me, utterly failing to perceive in their
wrath that I" =" I am really en-
downing their German swords with a
German spirit, by means of which
they can conquer the world to their
hearts content.
"On the other hand, that hateful
paper. the Frankfort Zeitung, be-
clearly enough held up to scorn the
popular outcry for democracy and
all current party watchwordS, es-
pecially 'parliamentarism.
