He was gone for several minutes.

for me to feel sorry for him.
"Bess," he gulped. "Bess-I-"
The words simply would not come.
Then suddenly / sat up In bed and
held out my arms to hffn. He did
not hesitate. but flung himself into
them
Patting his shoulder with one hand
and punning the fingers of the other
through his hair, ! waited for him
to grow calm.
AT length he raised himself up and
sat on the side of the bed

You are so wonderful. Bess," he
said; his voice very tender
And you are so silly" l returned.

But Crittenden. It seemed. was not

searchingly, as though he thought
was hiding something from him
which I was not.

In furnishing your bedroom, never
forget that simple. undecorated
styles are in best taste. What ap-
peals more to a weary person that
an opportunity to sleep in a clean.
dainty furnished room?
Personally, I am very fond of the
white bedroom furniture and hap
PLY it is inexpensive in comparison
to many other kinds. In the dull
white enamel fipish, you will find no
trouble in keeping everything neat
and clean and the Washington shops
can furnish you with just the thing.
I found a bed at 500, dressing
table at $3.50 and mattress at $25.
A stool sold for S525 and a rocker.
$500. making a total of s7S.75.
Dotted Swiss curtains would go
well with such furniture and can be
secured in the thirty-six-inch width
for 35 cents yard. One can even
buy 10-cent curtain rods and with
a can of enamel transform them to
fit in with the room.

when he had paid for them he went
out TO the road to wait for UncI-
Wiggily.
All Of a sudden Jimmie saw the
