Moral Ea7blems.
Please don't skip this description Of
Robert Hervey Randolph-six feet
straight up and down, broad Of shout
der and narrow of hip, sandy-haired,
blue-eyed, nose slightly appended and
wearing O saddle Of faint fgecl:es.
clean shaver, well groomed, very cor
rcctly dressed, and twenty-siE ye'rS
old. Let it be added that his r>cS
were placed just far enough apes TO
stamp him forever honest; he had an
open and most prepossessing coun-
tenance.
At the moment of the start of this
rapid yarn, he was standing in the
Van Telliers' library, looking down in
panied and flushed surprise at Miss
Madge Van T., who was sitting in
huge leathern chair half facing the
fire in the open CRATE, one leg very
much under her. the other waving
satin-and-silk combination Of foot and
ankle in distracting accompaniment to
her disturbing speech.
Bobby said Miss Van T. you are
darned good-looking; you're strong,
straight, and gentleman: the are
times when YOU are wholly adorable,
but, nevertheless, I'm not going to
the show with you tonight, or to the
opera tomorrow, or anywhere any
more. There. there, dear boy; you
don't have to say anything. You have
one Of those faces that is absolutely
beyond the aid of vocal organ. 1t
says everything that is in your heart
of gold before your brain has time to
tinkle a bell"
'Look here, 1Iadge," said the panied
Mr.. Randolph: "are you making fun
of my face or of my brain or Of
bothf'
"My dear" said Miss Van T. quite
gravely, I'm not making fun of you in
any way whatsoever I'm merely tell
ing you how lovable you are, so that
you viii understand how serious 1t is
when / say that I've decided not to
love you any more"
'B-but how can you help itY STAN
mered Mr.. Randolph, his tongue for
orce saying the same thing as his face
at the same time.
Miss Van It's breast f1uttered as
though rising against its mistress to
the defense of this disingenuous young

COULDN'T RAISE
HANDS TO MOUTH
Ms Hornrnes Is Relieved OF
Rheumatism And Gains IS
Pounds By Taking Tanlac.

Tanlac has actually built me up
fifteen pounds in weight in three
weeks time and has restored my
health completely" said Mrs. Laura
Hommes, of 6628 Rorer Avenue,
Roanoke, Va.
I suffered from indigestion and
stomach trouble for more than four
years. Gas pressed against my hearz'
causing severe pain and many time
felt as if l was being smothered to
death. Ny head ached for days at a
time and often became so dizzy I
could hardly stand.
Il was almost continually nau-
seated and became so weak I couldn't
walk but little way before I just
had to sit down and rest. I had
rheumatism in my shoulders and
ankles and in all my joints, and for
three weeks was Just hobbling about
the house unable to do any kind of
work and I couldn't even raise my
| hands to my mouth.
1t only took five bottles of Tanlac
to put me in the best of health. Why,
it gave me splendid appetite and I
actually gained fifteen pounds in
three weeks. I'm entirely free from
bloating palpitation and shortness
Of breath and the headaches and dir
ziness are all gone. / never feel
sign of rheumatism and can now do
all my homework with perfect ease"
Tanlac is sold in Americas
