end, an icy hand at my throat, nay
heart aching. So even before they
were married, Leola had known she
possessed all that Everett had to
give of himself, of love- How she
must have loved him, to write like
that! 1t seemed almost scarilege
to me. She had said that "even
heaven would be a help if he loved
another, gave anyone that love that
belonged to her.
What a loving passionate letter
it was. Yet as re-read it, 1 realiz-
ed that she was conscious of her own
weaknesses. She had feared that her
pride, her peculiar temperament
woull give them unhappiness-as l
knew it had from what l had learn
ed of their life together.
Who but one with just such
nature would hold roses until they
dropped and faded instead of put
ing them in water to preserve them?
1 knew never would even think of
such a thing. Yet in a way, l
, sensed how such a confession would
appeal to man who was in love.
'Why am | such a practical crea-
ture?" | asked, as dashed the tears
from Iony ouac porxy foo,.c lilo o.
ola. Then half laughing, half cry
ing, l added: 81 should have put
them in water, cut the stems, an
probably on the second day have
put salt in the vase to preserve them
as long as possible"
After a bit l drew out the next
letter:
"My own: l am sorry was so
naughty. | longed even while be-
ing disagreeable to throw my arms
about your neck and tell you to for
J give me. But this terrible pride,
this contrary nature of mine, would
not allow me. / feel like saying
what Prosper Merimee did in his Let
ters to an Unknown recall he
said: You will never know all the
good or all the evil there is in me.
/ have spent my life being praised for
: qualities which | have not, and be-
! ing illuminated for faults which are
not mine 1t has always been so
ever since l was little girl in pig
tails and pinafores. l am afraid it
always will be so, although for your
sake l shall strive desperately to
overcome the faults.
"After you left me, Dear, l gath
cred all the roses form where l had
so spitefully thrown them, and gave
them the kisses | denied you. How
love them, those red, red roses you
send or bring me. Do, Dear, come
early tomorrow. / shall be unhappy
until you take me in your arms and
tell me that you forgive me and love
me not as much, but more than before
your naughty Leola.
81 never can be like her, never,
never" | exclaimed vehemently as
| finished this second letter. There
is no use to try" And because |
could not be like the first wife of
whom l was jealous, wept bitterly.
Then l laid the letters away until
another time. I could read no more
of them.

Dear Aunt Jnlia and Cousins: I have
read with interest of Aunt Julia's northern
trip. l want to tell you about the city
of Hartford, the capital of the Nutmeg
state, where I had a most enjoyable time
this summer.
1t is a beautiful city, with numerous
parks. The capitol building is situated on
hilltop in Bushnell park, an ideal location
1t is of great architectural beauty. The IN
terror contains offices of the various sta
departments also cases of battle flags and
war relics, besides many statues, the two
best ones being a gigantic representation of
Lafayette on horseback and woman rep
resenting Victory.
The dome of the capitol glistens like gold
in the sunlight. At night electricity makes
it look like a crown of fairy jewels sus-
pended in mid-air, and reflected in the river
which flows through the park.
Across the way is the state library and
supreme court building. Here the original
charter of Connecticut is kept, in a steel
vault. How many of you have read of
Address and how he tried to take the Con
necticut charter? Those of you who have
know that the priceless manuscript was
hidden in a hollow oak tree. A monument
now marks the spot where the tree former
ly stood.
The workmanship of the interior is too
beautiful for my poor pen to attempt to
describe. Immense pillars of imported mar
BILE and staircases of Tennessee marble are

II eggs A DAY FROM
II YOUNG PULLETS
Mrs. Niles Started Her Pu11ets Lay
ing at 6-Months Old. Tells How.

early in November, I bought a
package of Don Sung and started
giving it to II May PulIets. In the
first 80 days, they laid 1913 lovely
eggs, and I got cents apiece for
them. All through December I got
II to 10 eggs a day."-Mrs. E. S.
Niles, r. F. D. 2, Lucerne, Ind.
Mrs. Niles, like thousands of
others, has found how to start young
pullets laying and keep them laying
all winter. The same method gets
the eggs from moulting hens. Wheth-
er or not\this seems possible to you,
try this plan at our risk.
Give your hens Don Sung and
watch results for one month. If you
ont find that it pays for itself and
avs you a good profit besides, SIM
~ tell us and your money will be
romptly refunded.
Don Sung (Chinese for egg-laying)
works directly on the egg-laying or
gans, and is also a splendid tonic. IT
is easily given in the feed, improves
the hens health, makes her stronger
and more active in any weather,
helps her through the moult,; and
starts her laying.
Try Don Sung for 80 days and if
it doesn't get you the eggs, no mat
ter how cold or wet the weather,
your money will be refunded by re-
turn mail. Get Don Sung from your
druggist or poultry remedy dealer
or send so cents for package by
mail prepaid. Burrell-Dugger Co., 100

CHAPTER III

Heretofore Phil always had his
own way. His father died when Phil
was twelve. His inherited wealth
kept him from ever knowing the
blessed joys of honest effort. The
poverty that breeds genius was an
unknown factor in his easy-going
life. He followed the lines of least
resistance, living the life mapped
out for him by his mother, made pos
sible by an inheritance that Phil &C
cepted as readily as he accepted life
itself. A new car, to Phil, brought
no more of keen thrill of joy than
did a new, shiny bicycle to the aver
age boy. He'd run car awhile,
then tire of it, much after the man
ner of a small boy who wearies of
a new toy [ could always fore
tell the appearance of the new car
on the scene. Phil would begin to
find fault with the latest purchase
and point out trivial flaws, magni-
flying them until they doomed large
and significant. Then he'd call
round with a new demonstration ask
ing me to go for spin. The demon
strator spun yarns enough to send
him to purgatory, and used to
marvel at the lHInSS he Sdlu otllu IllC
way he said it, and it occurred to me
that the man who turned out
demonstrators certainly must send
them over to kiss the Barney stone
before giving them diploma!
[ listened to so many of them dur
ing my years with Phil that one
day [ laughingly remarked to him,
"Phil, dear, if L were ever left alone
in a hard, cruel world and had to
make a living for myself, I'd turn
demonstration. I know enough about
ears to sell carloads of 'em." Phil
laughed and shrugged his shoulders.
"You can handle a car better than
most women. You seem to have a
knack for getting on to anything
concerning a car. Then, you have
a steady nerve, and never lose your
head. You have a natural aptitude
for anything in the machinery line.
Wonder where you get it," he asked.
ooh, from way back. We have a
family of manufa cturers back aloag
the line. Even Dad could handle
machinery, you know, even if he
was always following the latest
gold trails that led him over the
world and back again-to die. Dad
used to say ] missed my calling
| by not having been born boy
/ but he did his best to make up for
| that. He taught me that all out
| doorS-the big world-Was my home.

THE STORY Of MARIAN SWAMI |
BY NDpG4IP</ N/ZLI

He saw that my physical makeup
had endless opportunities for de-
velopment. Life in the OPEN in the
hills, mountains, on plain and
prairie, by camp fires in Canadian
woods, by boat to Alaska, queer
rocks and strange corners, Phil.
Oh! how L wish you cared for
things like that. But you don't.
You've missed half of life" I'd
conclude sadly.
Phil shrugged his narrow Shout
ders and puffed away at a cigar
ette
"Pshaw! why, Marion, it would
bore me to distraction, life such
as you lived. What do ! care for
rubbing elbows against such peo-
pie as you'd naturally come in con-
tact with! Excuse me please! Such
an existence may have pleased you
and Kenneth Carnes, but none of
lit for Philip Swami" and a tiny
frown puckered his brow.
The mention of my brother Ken
neths name always brought ats
thrill. Kenneth and 1 were pals
companions, bound by the tie of
blood; and a deeper, more abiding
love Ill never know With under
standing soul, he loved me with
love unsurpassed in this world;
deep, steadfast, abiding, never-fail=
ing. That was Kenneth's love for
me. Was. aPst tense. Why not write
it is?
Because Kenneth is dead He gave
his life over therefor others
France! Like him. Always for
others.
But for Kenneth's last letter TO
me, I'd not be here. Even though
my serious illness prevented my
following him and Phil to France,
I'd have gone elsewhere-any place,
but here in this sleepy little viii

l am little girl of fourteen. Am
{ old enough for boy friends? There
is a boy who wants me to give up
all other boys and just go with him.
But 1 don't want to do this. I don't
care for boys, except as friends, for
it is my desire to get an education.
What must I tell this boy?
What can I do to make my hair.
longer and thicker? What will make
my skin smooth and white? Is 1t
all right for me to correspond with
boys and girls have never met?
TOUCH NOT.
Answer: Indeed, you are quite
right to refuse to give up all
your boy friends just for one.
You are too young for sentiment
tai affairs. Just tell the boy
that you want to keep all your
friends-not just one.
A good hair tonic, careful
shampooing, and care of the hair
is the very best thing you can
do to make your hair long and
thick. A good, reliable cold
cream, used in connection with a
pure soap, will keep your skin
soft and white. 1 will be glad
to recommend a good tonic,
shampoo and cold cream. If you
will write me again, inclosing a
stamped, self-addressed enve-
lope for a personal reply.
