Babs Meets Tragedy and My Rival
 and | Clash Desperatelv


 It was natural for me to go straight to Benjie's baby after reading Benjie's letter. Those sad pages had fixed for ever my resolve to adopt Barbara. Pride of clan, so strong in Mother Lorimer, was developing in me. But far more than that, I loved Babs pas sionately, for her own sweet sake, and needed her for my own sake.
 As I ran down the side steps next the porte cochere, I heard the child s gay laugh somewhere back of the shrIbbery on the other side of the drive.
 Then I heard another laugh-one that I also loved. I stopped at the foot of the steps.
 Bob and Katherine Miller were com ing up the drive in Bob's new roadster It was a rakish speedy car, with a stiff steering wheel. Katherine Miller was driving. Bob was apparently teaching her.
 1 knew her ways, and watched witf | a jealous heart as Bob leaned toward her. Never had seen her quite so ex- cited, or quite so pretty. At a word o1 l instruction from Bob, which she fol | lowed, the car stood still. And I saw | that Bob was smiling down at her witt more interest than I had seen him be tray in any woman since he camt home.
 I forgot about myself, forgot abou baby playing just beyond the hedge and watched Bob smile, while Kath. crime Miller laughed into his eyes. Be 1 ing wooed a second time, as I hat hoped to be, is vastly different mat ter from seeing your husband flirtin; with another woman So I was whis pering to myself when I heard Bab call to me.
 She had emerged from the shrub bery, and was struggling toward m with wriggling baby rabbit clutche, tight in her arms.

RUSSIAN WEDDING
 PHOENIX SOLDIER
 AMONG THE GUESTS

John s. Isaac who is with the ex- peditionary force in Siberia, writing 10 his sister describes a Russian we'd ding. Yesterday evening"" he writes under the date of July 27. about o'clock, three of us happened to find ourselves in a neighborhood where there was to be a Siberian wedding and, of course, we went over to see it. made ourselves at home and entered into the celebration as best we could. In fact, there were several American soldiers there with Russian girls.
 Tt was not one of those highbrow affairs, but just a simple, little we'd ding among the poorer class, held at the brides home, 1 presume. You might wonder why we butted in, but, you know, 1t seems to be the Ameri- can soldiers privilege, the world over to make himself at home wherever he goes, the people expect it and as a 'ule we live up to their expectations.
 But that is getting away from the story of the wedding 1 don't know exactly what the Siberian custom is, whether it was at the home of the bride or the bridegroom or at the home of a relation; whether the little ceremony was all that was required, Tor l could not understand what was said. l only tell you what I saw.
 Tn many ways it was such a coun- try wedding as might have taken place In the states, the little home with it's simple decorations, the big table spread outside for the merry makers and the crowd of friends and relatives. all logged out in their Sunday best. It was warm evening but the occasion seemed to warrant plenty of dress. I don't see how some of them could stand it with the amount of clothes hey wore.
 The young girls, mostly in white were all in state of excitement and expectation. Only a few young men were there for the war has made young men scarce. And we must not forget the babies. Believe me, you can't complain of small families in this country.
 Tn front of the entrance to the house a carpet was laid and on this the priest stood waiting for the couple to arrive, his long, dark hair and flowing black robe making a strong contrast 70 the surrounding white.
 of sudden there was A cranine of necks and everybody was crowding and looking toward the road The couple had arrived. They came in a droshsky driven by an important driver who drew up with a flourish and sensational stop at just the right place for the couple to alight. And he had honored the occasion with a new livery. new black hat, something like derby, shining boots and a new whip. Two more carriages brought of honor.
 And such young couple they were The little bride was pretty indeed. ali dressed in white with a silk veil tha, barely touched her heels. The youne man did not seem to be out of his teens and hardly able to grapple with the stern realities of life in these tur- bulent times. But let us not think n, the morrow for this is their night ot nights and we wish them all the han. piness in the world as they march ur

 Eight head lengths is the proper height-approximate feet, 5 inches.
 From shoulder to shoulder the measurement should be two head lengths.

BITRO-PHOSPHATE
BEST THING FOR
thin PEOPLE
Women Need 1t to Bring Pink Glow OF
Health to Pale Checks and ForestalI
Telltnle Lines of AEe-Men Need 1t
to Make strong, Vigorous Bodies and
Steady Nerves.

Judging from the countless prepare
lions and treatments which are contin-
ually being advertised for the purpose
of making thin people heshy,, develop
ing arms, neck and bust'Fa replacing
ugly hollows and angles by the soft,
curved lines of health and beauty there
are evidently thousands of men and
women who keenly feelftheir excessive
thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually
due to starved nerves. Our bodies
need more phosphate than is contained
in modern foods. Physicians claim
there is nothing that will. supply this
deficiency so well as the organic phos-
phate known among druggists as bitro-
phosphate, which is inexpensive and is
sold by Lee & Osgood in Norwich and
most all druggists under a guarantee
of satisfaction or money back. By
feeding the nerves directly and by sup
plying the body cells with the neces-
sary phosphoric food elements. bitro-
phosphate quickly produces welcome
transformation in the appearance; the
increase in weight frequently being
astonishing
This increase in weight also carries
with it a general improvement in the
health. Nervousness sleepleSsness and
lack of energy, which nearly always
accompany excessive thinness, soon
disappear, dull eyes become bright and
perfect health.
CAUTION; = Although itro-phos-
phate is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness. tsleeplessness and general
weakness, it should not, owing to its
remarkable flesh growing properties
be used by anyone who does not desire
to put on flesh. .
