closeup summer nome enticed them
to its shaded porch. They assembled
1t and luxuriated in some swinging
chairs. Edna insisted on refreshing
themselves with the light lunch she
had brought.
ut is quite picnic" declared Law
renee, and somehow they dallied, and
somehow, too, their beautiful environ.
ment influenced him to speak out what
had been on his mind for two years.
He went all over the circumstances of
their long friendship, told Of the love
that was surging at his heart Like
innocent little children they discussed
this great climax Of their lives, en-
gaging themselves trustingly one to
the other, and there was one calm,
sweet kiss in token Of the mutual
pledge of fidelity until the future had
placed them in position to join their
lives together.
In room just off the porch all the
time that they had conversed, although
they never dreamed of 1t, sat an old
man and woman-Albert Trude and
his wife, owners Of the pleasant sum-
mer home. A closed blind shut them
from view beyond an open window.
AS the life history of the two artless
lovers was borne to their ears they
fingered, drinking In memories of their
own early lives and, too, thinking of
the two children who died, leaving
them lonely with lifetime sorrow.
The woman arose finally, her eyes
brimming with tears, and led her hus-
band out of possible hearing Of the
trespassers.
"Albert," she spoke TREMENDOUSLY, "do
you not feel that this is heaven-sent
visitation, sent to influence US to
strengthen and bless our own solitary
lives and to bring happiness to two
children Of the heart, who may wan
der far apart and never reach the
pure, true longings of their innocent
souls? Oh, let us make sure of these
precious lives for the future and nur-
ture those who will be as son and
daughter In the years to come"
Ali In a maze, within an hour those
two listened to proposition from Mr..
Trude and his gentle-souled wife to re-
main at Tdlewild as their own home,
practically as adopted children. Mr..
Trude was scientific writer and need
ed stenographer part of the time.
The place needed an overseer. and
Lawrence was the typical man for the
position.
So Edna did BOT 60 to the city, and
Lawrence Newton went back home,
only to inform his brother-in-law Of
his intended change In occupation
''Rare good luck" the relative
termed 1t, but the GROWING bless
ing Of life, the happy lovers realized
1t to be when they married. to pass
the golden days Of the future at the
beautiful home where love supreme
would never dim or fade.

Fair Destiny
By OTILLIA F. PFEIFFER
(@. 1920. Western Newspaper Union

Its dismal prospect, indeed,
Lawrence" spoke Edna Royce, but she
smiled, for 1t was her nature to resist
depression and unfortuitous circum-
stances
"Yes, ten miles from nowhere, the
hind wheel of the old wagon gone for
good, and we won't get the train in
time. What's best to do now?"
They had started from Winston,
their home town, two hours previ-
Gus, intent On reaching the first rail-
road point, twenty miles away. At q
bad spot In the road they had run
into rut, and one of the rear wheels
OF the light wagon Lawrence Newton
was driving had come off and lay in
the road, a heap Of wreckage.
1t was an inauspicious ending to a
day full Of hope at the start. Law
renee had been brought up by broth
er-in-law poor as himself, and at
twenty-five was no further ahead than
ne had been at sixteen. Edna had
lost her parents In childhood, and had
made her home with relative who
operated store in Winston. She had
given him faithful service for the
wretched salary, he had paid her as a
clerk, bookkeeper and helping his wife
In her housekeeping duties when not
busy at the store. For over a year
Edna had been studying stenography,
she had bought herself a typewriter
and had attained certain expertness
in its use, and despite an offer of in
crease in salary on the part of her
parsfmonious relatives, had saved up
some money and was bent on winning
her way In the city.
1t was a good deal of blow to the
happiness and well-being of Lawrence
when Edna impaired her plans to him.
They had never spoken of love, but
both were inspired with it. Their COM
partnership for two years had been a
sweet, peaceful idyl, and the Earring
element of a parting wrecked the
hearts of both.
"Some day I'll join you, Edna"
spoke Lawrence, patiently, hopefully.
Il shall feel worried and uneasy,
though.
He had been allowed to use the
horse and wagon belonging to his
brother-in-law so grudgingly that now
that disaster had overtaken it he re-
allied that his captious relative would
insist upon all kinds of hard ex-
ira work to make up for the expense
of repairing it.
i will walk with you to the town,
and you will have to wait at the depot
until the next train comes along" ad-
Eised Lawrence, land will have to
t1x up the old wagon" And he, car
rying her satchel and her boxed type
writer, they started away after hav.
ing tethered the horse.
1t was at the end of five miles that
the hot sun and the tramp over the
rutty road brought a WEAKNESS that
enforced rest. What seemed to be a

"Thfs means that large majority
Of the touchdowns will result in

Walter Camp, well-known football

says:
1.-THE most radical Of the changes
made by the rules committee relates
to the scoring Of goal after touch
down. Ever since the introduction of
the game some forty-fve years ago
the punt out after a touchdown has
been part Of the rules. This and
all rules relating to it have been
struck out, and hereafter If touch

hind the goal posts or at the extreme
corner Of the field, the side making the
touchdown may bring the ball out in

Take ''Dodson's Liver Tone" Instead

Dodson's Liver Tone is personally
guaranteed by every druggist who
sells it. A large bottle costs but a
few cents, and if it fails to give easy
relief in every case of liver sluggish
ness and constipation, you have only
to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.

The housewife - schooled in really
scientific domestic economy-no longer
throws away nickel to save penny.
A good way to illustrate this would be
through acomparison of the wholesome
ness, efficiency and economy of plain -four and
standard baking powder and so-caled self
rising -four 1t doesn't pay to buy self-rising -four
Most of it is made, of low grade materials.
1t causes many bake-day failures and great
loss of expensive baking ingredients.
The housewife will throw out in
wasted materials many times the amount she
hopes to save Beside, self rising -four has a
tendency to get lumpy and that's another waste.
But what is most important, the housewife gets
less in return as far as food value is concerned
than if she purchased a plain flour and
standard baking powder.
True economy in baking powder de-
mands the highest quality at the lowest price.
A Baking Powder made only of the highest
class ingredients obtainable, so skillfully and
accurately proportioned that it not only pro-
duces the maximum of leavening power but
conserves that power, retains Its strength and is
unfailing in results. is economical in cost and
use The housewife saves when she buys it.
She saves when she uses it - and she saves the
materials with which it is used. That is economy
in its highest form-the only kind of economy
the housewife should attempt to practice

Mayor Gives Cod to
Graduating Nurses

/ Several hundred people witnessed
the graduation exercises on the lawn
i of the Nurses Home last Thursday
/ night. The open air auditorium was
decorated with carnations, ferns and
| palms, the color scheme of pink and
green being used to advantage.
! Promptly at O'Clock the seven
graduates marched down in front of
the audience and stood naotionless
while D. V. Blayney, general secre-
cary of the Y. M. C. A., offered the
invocation.
Rev. A. J. Gearheard introduced
| each of the various speakers to the
audience. DR.. E. E.. Lafferty deliv-
cred an inspiring opening address,
following which Mrs. S. Lacy Dicker-
son entertained with song.
DR.. j. T. Crebbin president Of the
State Board of Examiners, delivered
! the principal address of the evening,
in which he complimented the grad
yates on their choice of a life work
and recommended the school very
highly, stating it appeared to be an
| ideal training school for those who
desired to follow the profession.
Miss A. D. Winters, superintend-
ent Of the Bogalusa Hospital, pre-
scented the class with their training
school pins-the trademark of a
nurses training as none but a grad
uate nurse may wear them. The pins
, are, no doubt, the prettiest ever pre-
sented to a local graduating class,
being about the size of a 25-cent
piece and composed OF three kinds of
gold, dark, white and green. The
design is a scroll with the state seal
thereon and a wreath of laurel Dor
dering the tablet. The name of the
school and the year of graduation is
inscribed on the scrool, and on the
back of the pins the name of the
owner.
The surprise of the evening was
the closing address by Mayor Sulli-
van, in which he stated that if the
Great Southern Lumber Company
were to do what was right bv the
nurses of the Bogalusa Hospital they
would present them with the sawmiil
for the many good deeds they had
done for the city and its people, but
as it would be impossible for them
to give away the worlds greatest
sawmill, he would try and give them
! just a little token to show the appre-
citation the company felt for their
work, and, calling Miss Hale, the
honor graduate Of the class to the
platform, presented her with $50 in
gold; Miss Prosine, who was second,
with $35; Miss Corley, the third high
est, $50 in gold, and MISSED Malley,
Levy Collegiate and Scarborough with
$40 each.
Tables were ther set on the lawn
and refreshments were served to the /
assembled guests. "A dance was held |
inside the home, music being fur
nished by Blanchard's orchestra.
