A French scientist has discovered an
oraanic phosphate which should have a
remarkably beneficial effect upon the
tired nerves of people who have de-
pended upon alcoholic stimulants.
Thousands of people are already pre-
pairing for the dry SPELL by building up
nerve resistance with this phosphate
1t In said to be very effective remedy
for weak nerves. sleeplessiess and lack
of strength, energy and vigor
Its substance Is described BY special
lists as Identical in composition with
certain vital elements. naturally found
in brain and nerve cells and one which
when taken into the human system is
quickly converted into healthy living
tissue.
This phosphate Ia already widely
known among druggists In this country
as Btro- Phosphate and owing to the
aBt0nishing results from IL Use rs
recorded by people who were weak,
nervous and run-down, great quantities
OF the phpsphoric elements used in it's
manufacture are being imported
Some physicians claim that through
the use of this Bitro- Phosphate

are frequently increased in two weeks
time. DR.. Frederick Kolle. Editor of

The warder withdrew and we were

open a little way and as soon as she
started toward 1t, it seemed to close
with an ominous click Of the lock.
She wa> just an old maid and she
wouIi have to substitute service for
self, she concluded. The war had
taught her that self abnegation keeps
one from grieving over personal prob

going abroad during reconstruction
days. There was much that she could
do. She was capable. She knew that.
She began scraping the odd plates
that had held the cakes, piling them in
orderly rows on the Uttered tables.
She could hear the soldiers and the
girls singing outside, could hear their
cries of delight as they bumped into
each other, trying to dance on the
asphalt paving. The mayor had de-
clared holiday.
There would be feasting and joyful
gatherings all that day, but for her 1t
would be a time of loneliness. No
body would think of asking her to join
their party that day.
I'll beg your pardon,"a voice said
just above her ear and she turned so
quickly that an old plate slid out Of

pine floor. She looked up into the

Silversand, the goth.
Rejoice, my dearest Joan, and be
exceeding glad! somthing good has
happened, as something always does
when you least expect II! Did you
ever know hotel manager could be
pale pink angel with diamond wings
and skyblue fringe? Well, he can, and
he is. Mr.. Montford, Of Silversand
Arms, is the little fairy godmother Of
this here tale And this is how he hap
pened:
Mrs. Kymball was preparing to leave
She said she would go down to New
York, get her boy, who is stopping
there with a woman she knows, and
go away to some quiet, country place
for week or two, to rest and get her
bearings. l determined in the mean
while to scout around and see what /
could dig up in the way of employment
for her. Here is where Little Fairy
Godmother Montford enters to merry
music.
Its the very height of the season
Mrs. Kymball," he remarked when she
told him she must go. We've got
more people here than we know how to
take care Of"
Tim not exactly here for the So
cial part Of things" she answered
with a touch of embarrassment Il was
standing by and couldn't help hear
ing)
It was the managers turn to look
embarrassed.
IL had guessed that" he began,
glancing away and hurrying on VITA
his speech, II have been wondering
Mrs. Kymball, if-please pardon me
for being personal-you had ever
thought Of doing anything in a-ah-
professional way?
"I-that is, the hotel has for long
time needed someone who had the
gift for social things, the refinement
and culture and suggestions that only
a woman who has run her own house
Is mistress of. When my wife was
living she attended to that part. But
for several seasons now, we have had
no one but the housekeeper, and while
she does her best, It is not exactly
the touch l want. There are many
young women guests here alone, many
persons who miss the hostess atmos-
phere that l feel should prevail at
such a house as this"
He dared look her in the face at this
stage of his long, rather self-conscious
Grafton, and caught her expression Of
gratitude He had been watching af-
fairs bless his adorable soul, sensed
the unfortunate love affair, and the
probable necessity for earning. Really
needing such person as he described
the old dear brushed convention aside
and did his fairy gotmother stunt.
