THE ACCIDENT.
CHAPTER XC.

CHAPTER XC.
EVEN now feel hurt when think
- of the many times Everett was in
vited out without me. Then l made
no slightest allowance for him-or
them. That he had belonged to
their clubs, had been one of them
before he knew me, and that they felt
free to call upon him when, as that
night they needed some one to make
up a game, was no excuse in my
eyes.
In my home town it would have
been considered the worst kind of a
faux pas to have invited husband
without his wife, unless it were a
stag party, and there were very few
of those. Rose Crandon's father and
The others. seemed to enjoy having
their wives along. Life in big
place was so different from life in a
small community, where everyone
knew everyone else, and there was
. similarity of II ought regarding
what was the p.oper thing to do
upon occasion.
This ran through my mind as I
held the beautiful roses closely.
Yet it seeme@ almost wicked to
let them die. They were so lovely.
Then, too, l had rot been married
so long but that the cost of such
box of flowers seemed like extrava-
gance. At home we all had our own
flower gardens, and the price of flow
ers for table decoration etc., in
Hendon had not yet ceased to seem
exorbitant to me. But Leola had not
hesitated to waste their sweetness.
Of course it was temperamental, but
would have to cultivate tempera-
ment if I were to be like her; and so
win Everett's love.
l had gone to my room with the
roses. In few moments Hetty came
in with tall vase.
"The stems are so long your vases
will not be deep enough" she said
as she filled the one she had brought.
81 will attend to them," I said, as
she reached for the roses. "Please
throw the box out" The card l had
put away.
Until the house was quiet and I was
sure everyone had gone to bed, I sat
reading with the roses lying on my
lap. Already they had commenced
to droop. ! recalled what Leola had
said in her letter about kissing them
because Everett had sent them, but
! felt no inclination to kiss the gift
of Walter Kemp, and felt rather
foolish as l thought of it.

MEAT CAUSE Of
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take o glass of Salts if your Back
hurts or Bladder bothers-M Meat
forms uric acid. .

If,yoN. must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your Kidneys with salta
occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their eff
forts to expel it from the blood. They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels >often get sore and irritated,
obhging ydsl To seek, reject two9or three
TINS during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's uriuous waste get four dances of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys viii then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon Juice, combined. with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
alss 10 neutralize the acids in urine,

bladder weakness. .....

ing skunks out of season. Each paid

cept between November LIST to Febru-

that the young men arrested had 16
pelts in their possession.
Skunk pelts are bringing very high
prices this season, which is believed
to have led some of the trappers to
take a chance. Other arrests have
been made by Warden Battey in the
county as he has always made an eff
fort to enforce the law in his juris-
diction since he accepted the appoint
ment to Office.
