scoIded.
Il can say that We have. little
girl" Randolph had never used
those words before IN addressing
Henriette, or any not altogether
easy. You see, we lawyers don't go
about things in just that way.
Henriette snorted an expostulation
that indicated contempt for lawyers
in general. and Randolph's mind
went back 20 the main considera-
ton
If you're not busy tonight let's
90 investigate that TildeD mansion.
II YOU start right away YOU can get
the keys from Mr. Tilden and be
back by e."
Randolph had risen from his
chair. almost eager 10 be gone. since
it was the prerequisite OF a solitary
ramble through the old house with
Henriette. Surely If he could not
manage a proposal under such IA
vorable circumstances ne never
would oe able 20 do so.
He was just at the door. wiling,
with the bright prospects for the
evening wildly before him. 70 de-
part with scarcely a word OF fare
well.
IN get Sandy 20 so along with
US" came Henriette's cheerful con
tralto. He knows more about fur
naces and things than any man we
ever had-and you might buy some
candles on your way. for the light
will be all turned of. suppose"
Randolphs roseate dreams had
faded away. Even an empty house
didn't offer favorable background if
the ubiquitous Sandy were 20 be the
third party still.
The trip was taken to the Tnden
mansion that night in Henriette's
little roadster. with Henrlette at the
wheel Randolph at her side and
the weakened Sandy sitting al Ran
dolph's feet with his own rough
shod feet protruding TO the running
moard and in the same guise they
returned. The hour spent at the
mansion was one in which Sandy
was master Of ceremonies and Ran
dolph found himself chiefly useful
in holding lighted candles fof the
old man or hosting his light but
agile body TO peer at pipes and
drafts In the rusty. covered
heating system that rambIed over
a good share of the cellar Of the old
house.
The pipes that conveyed the hot
air from the furnace 10 the upper
regions of the house were rusty. but
not so much so that drafts I'm the
three man channels for the hot air
could not be opened when Sandy
applied the sturdy muscles OF his
thumb and forefnger to that task.

II was not until Randolph Yardley
had definitely made up his mind 20
propose 70 Henriette that he secret
Is entertained the wish that Hen
riette was the kind OF suffra gisJ that
voting. Henriette was a suffragist,
felt il 10 be womans privilege 10
do the proposing as well as the
OF course, but she wasn't that par
ticular kind OF suffragist. Randolph
had heard her say so After she
had managed 10 bring the CONVEX
sation up 10 the delicate question OF
proposing Randolph might easily
have done the rest But Randolph
didn't realize how easy this would
have been till he was alone the
evening after the discussion.
The Saturday afternoon after he
had definitely decided 70 propose ne
unfortunately did not find Henriette
alone His rival in her attention
was the old man-of-all-work. Saun-
ders. known more Familiarity as san
dy-though any reference that that
name might once have borne to his
hair and complexion had ceased TO
be apparent for Sandy was tooth
less and his sparse hair was white
surely not a very formidable rival
But any third person is a rival when
a man wants TO propose, and when
Randolph entered her bungalow liv-
ing room Henriette was kneeling on
the floor before a packing case with
Sandy at the opposite end.
$50 sorry, Randolph" she said
with a smile so preoccupied that II
was worse than no smile at all;
you'll just have to excuse me while
I go on with this case. They're
things for the suffrage bazaar. It's
TO be in a week and I've had 10 take
the craftsmanship the last thing"
During all the call that afternoon
Randolph never once found a turn
in the road from which he might
have directed his own remarks to-
ward a proposal The case was soon
packed and Sandy shufhed away
with it, but Henriette's thoughts
were still engrOsSed with the ba-
zaar. And imagine suddenly skip
ping from remarks on the fish pond
at a suffrage bazaar or fancy tables
and lemonade booths to proposals.
Perhaps it was not to be won
dered. then, that when Henriette
suddenly asked Randolph 10 prom
Use to do a certain favor" and TO
promise before she had told him
what it was, he held up his large
masculine hand and swore rather

The day came. and the ice cream
did sell like hot cakes. and even afr
er the lemonade had been 50 diluted

who attended the bazaar was strong
In impressed with the fact that the
Tuden house was endowed with a
phenomenal heating apparatus and
scarce q person IN town failed 20
hear something about the eXcessive
heat that had prevailed in the ola

two nights OF the suffrage bazaar.
A few davs after the bazaar Hem
riette Beauchamp announced her
engagement 10 Randolph Yardiey.
and those who knew Henriette AS
well as those who knew her only for
the reputation she bore as an up-

planned the fact that the engage

Henriette had set her cap for,

they said. and no doubt Randolph
had taken fancy TO Henr;ette. but
Randolph was not the kind OF young
man who would ask a girl 10 marry
him unless he had some idea OF how
ne was going 20 support her. Hen
riette knew this. and. n the truth
must be told. Henriette had the
making OF the better lawyer OF the
two. She knew that Mr.. Tilden had
put q little work in the young law

case against the brewer. Hamberg-
or. So she worked out the whoia

Judging from the countless prepare

OF making thin people ffeshN, develop
ing arms, neck and bust, and replacing
ugly hollows and angles by the soft
curved lines Of health and beauty, there
are evidently thousands OF men and
women who keenly feel their excessive
thinness,
Thinness and weakness are usually
due to starved nerves. uNf bodies need

Is nothing that will supply this defi-

phate, which Is inexpensive and sold by
Wa~shhurn-Lylc in Memphis, and most
all druggists, under a guarantee of sat
isfaCtipn or money back. by feeding
the nerves directly and by supplying the
body cells with the necessary phos-

ARMY Divisional
PARADES FOUND
TO Be IMPOSSIBLE
Congestion of Railways Which
Would Result From Such
Plans Bars Idea of Big Re-
views in Inland Cities.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Parades OF
complete divisions Of the American
army returning from France probably
can be held only in a few cites in the
immediate vicinity Of the debarkation
ports. The response to the request OF
many other localities for divisional re-
views Of its own troops likely will have
TO he the parading Of not more than a
regiment. This, 1t was learned, Is the
conviction of officers at the war depart
ment who have been studying home
coming parade proposals.
Cities in which II probably would be
possible to hold divisional reviews, these
officers said, are Boston, New York
and Washington. To hold such a
parade In an inland city, it was said,
| would be almost impossible and quite
impracticable.
War department officials were said to
have found that. serious disruption OF
rail traffic for several days, grave dan
ger Of congestion at ports OF arrival and
a resultant slowing up of the whole
process Of rehabilitation would be in
volved in an attempt to carry a com
| pIete division to even such a city as
| Chicago, supplied with many rail out.
let's and large terminal facilities. Halt
the tourist car equipment Of the coun-
try, ii was estimated, would be needed
to make up more than so trains neces-
sary to carry that number Of troops,
even without any heavy impeachment
such as the artillery and wagon trains.
