Helen E. Tilghman of Wilmington,
student at Goucher College,
sang, 80, Promise Me-"
The bride wore a beautiful
gown of radium lace over ivory
satin, made with court train. Her
veil OF tulle, was arranged in cap
erect with Duchess lace. She car
ried shower bouquet of bride
roses and white sweet peas.
She was attended by her cousin,
Ruth E. Guyer, of Winchester,
Va, as maid of honor. The brides
maids were Miss Edith Pilling

groom, of New York; Miss Mary

Miss Guyer wore an orchid
colored taffeta creation and black
velvet hat with trimmings Of silver
lace. She carried an armful of
pink roses with maiden-hair fern,
and touch of lavender flowers.
Gowns of orchid colored taffeta
were worn by the bridesmaids
Their hats were of orchid-colored

colored panne velvet. The hats
had pretty little streamers at,
tached that fastened on the
shoulders of the bridesmaids. The

Mr.. James A. Moore, of Norfolk
Va. The ushers were Messrs. S
Mccall, H. Malcome Owens, C. H

bride.
After the ceremony an informal
, reception was held at the brides
home, where hundreds of friends
of the popular young people called

and dance which was to have
taken place at the New Century

young couple left for wedding
trip. They will be at home afteI

THE NEW SCHOOL PLAN.

The Board OF Trustees OF the Am
arillo Independent School District
has decided 80 put into effect the
rorty-Elght Weeks School Plan adj
yanced by Superintendent Duncan
some months ago as solution 1T
the present crowded conditions OF
the local plant and as means for
giving teachers employment the year
around.
Mr.. Duncan and the members OF
the board believe this plan will solve
present problems. The News believe
Il is well worth a trial based a. q
Is upon sound business principles
Aud. too. climatic conditions here
are such that children can well az
ford 20 attend school during the sum
mer months.
Operating expenses m summer
will be light. There will be no fuel
bills. Children will have more day
light for both work and play. In
other words. work and play can be
more evenly divided for the child in
summer. and therefore the ehild's
health should be better.
The only question which arises IN
connection with the matter IS: WIN
the habits OF generations be broken
by parents who have been aecus-
toned to having their little ones In
school in fall. winter and spring as
they. themselves. attended. or will
the schools OF the city be deserted
this summer.
There are many children IN ANA
rillo who ought 10 be In school bat
who have not been forced to attend
under the compulsory attendance

education during that term In which

enough TO me. Mr.. billiard, to be
worth taking time over--to be perfect
ly frank with you, I've got five hun
dred dollars want to-put in some
high-class, gllt-edged speculation. Mr..
Cullen gave me some pointers, and
now I'm interested in your copper
mine. 0nly-and this is where the
hitch comes in--Pve sort Of got into
the swing Of the law, you know, and
that makes men--well, what you might
call judgmatical. You get so you want
to look at everything from all four
sides. And l thought maybe because
of the--the attending circumstances
you'd be kind enough to explain the
whole thing to me. Would your
billiard, who didn't know whether
to be touched or amused, compromised
by nodding gravely.
There's one thing I'll have to tell
you, though" he said; II don't advise
any one to gamble in copper mines, or
anything. else, Waring, unless that
person could actually afford to lose
his whole investment, and not be hurt.

By HOLWORTHY HALL

was a phantasm which his brain reel
ed to contemplate The lump in his
throat came near to strangling him.
1t seemed Go billiard that hours
must have elapsed before he had the
strength to rise, and cross the room.
His brain was buffeted by wildly giddy
passions; he was only partly aware
that Carol, trying to rise from the
bench, was wLde-eyed and intuitive APP
prehension. Volltion had gone from
him; he was acting without reserve,
without premeditatlon.
"Tell mel" he said thickly. "Have l
got chance? One in a hundred?
One in "a thousand? But chance9"
"Oh! Mr.. Hilliard| Her
plea was to his chivalry, and had to be.
TELL me Il. would have 9.

One hand was pressed close to her
breast; the other was outstretched, de-
fensive.

swer me, Carol :"
She was trembling within reach OF
him, but it never occurred to him to
touch her, and if it had, he would
have refrained, out of sheer conscious
ness of his lack of right. His face,
working tragically, awed her.
"Yes," she said, hardly above a
whisper. "There's ~. one chance
in a thousand. There's that
much, anyway"
His arms went out to her-stayed--
dropped. He stepped backward, out
of the danger zone.
"Then I'll take it," he said.

She had given him a chance, on an
implied condition which he could never
meet. She had given him chance
and what in the name of heaven could
he do with it?

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have Tho Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
il is that so many products that are ex.
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotteng The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to q medicine.
AZ medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost. sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need Of II.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case 1t shows excellent re-
suits, as many Of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that IL fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer g. Co., Binghamton, N. X,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles

And in this particular case, since l
happen to control the situation, ] won't
permit it. Does that hit you, or doesn't
it?"
The young mans mouth opened in
amazement. He had been printing
himself to be clever investigator, and
to pick yawning flaws in billiards. I'M
derwriting, and here his thunder was
stolen before he had had a chance to
stake the aegis of his cleverness.
''Why-it isn't a gamble, is it? |
understood-Mr Cullen said"
'It's safer to figure it as a gamble,
Warning. It's safe to figure all these
things that way. OF course, we think
it's a wonderful prospect, and prac-
tically positive success, but | don't

nickel. And that would apply to you,
too"
The law student gasped, incredu-
lous.
'You don't mean to say it Isn't a
sure thing?"
els any speculation? You see I'm
not working very hard to take your
five hundred away from you, Waring."
The boy scowled
Il suppose it's really too small for
you to bother with. Is that what you're
driving at?"
billiard smiled cordially.
''It is, and it isn't. From any one /
didn't know, I'd rather not touch it. 1t
isn't good plan, ordinarily, to have
a lot of small stockholders. But from
you-and if it isn't more than you
ought to risk"
Waring snatched at the straw.
"Well, seeing you're who you are,
and Pm who / am, would you be will
ing to give me just as much informa-
ton as you would if / had twenty
times as much to put in?"
"Come up 10 the rOOm," said Hill
lard impulsivey; and he was actuat-
ed solely by the obligation he felt to-
ward all Of Mr. Cullen's friends.
"YOu come along up to the room, and
I'll show you everything I've got.
Will that do?"
At the last words the amateur de-
tective had frightened.
Il can't come now very well. But
maybe / could run UP this evening, if
that's all right for you"
"That'I be just as good. Eight
o'clock? Fine" He held out his hand.
Waring took it Imply.
"Im afraid I'm causing you a lot
of bother" he said, but it's pretty
big thing for me. -. ! hope you don't
think it's anything personal |
mean my not just taking it for grant

"Not at all. Business IS business.
I'll expect you at eight, then" Hill
lizard nodded good-humoredly and went
on north. A quaint intuition Oyercame
him, and he glanced back over his
shoulder. Fifty yards away the law
student was also glancing over his
shoulder. and Waring, having less of

Post Office Nerves.

According to the testimony Of some
hospital authorities, post Office nerves"
are due partly to the frequent changes
from day to night duty, with cOnse-
quent Irregularities of meals and sleep,
partly to the changes Of work whereby
the same clerk may be standing all day
for another, with diverse occupations,
each needing special knowledge.
Hence, in the opinion Of some medical
men, mechanical routine is less wear
ing than frequent change. Is it so?
