equipped with sunny hair, laughing
blue eyes and a fund of radiant
chatter.
The first night Of her holiday was

nm old couple there who took Janet
into their home ms II she had been the
granddaughter Of n dear friend. There
was hair cloth furniture and an old
plano that seemed not to have known a
human caress for fifty or more years,
yet Janet managed a light accompani-
ment for a song or two. Little senti-
mental love songs they were, and as
Janet turned from the piano she saw
that the frail hands OF the old couple
had met and remained clasped. Janet
held the hope that she. too. might one
day know such enduring love.

The Cottage Over

By DoRoTHY DOUGLAS


~
1t was just as well, for the bulk of
Janet's pocketbook, that there was no
functionary of road laws lurking be-
hind hedges, as she stepped on the gas
of her old bus and sped along the
country roads.
Janet was rushing headlong into
freedom, If only for three weeks,
and she desired to shake the city tur-
mol from her tires as swiftly as
possible.
Any n casually glancing into the
rear seat of the speeding auto would
suspect the reckless driver of being u
thief and hurrying to safety with her
booty of cretonnes, satins, damasks and
undraped down cushions.
However, Janet was not q thief and
the bits of lovely materials in the rear
seat had been bought and paid for
months before. Janet was an interior
decorator of most fiattering success,
but for "A IN she was tired to
death of color schemes, furniture of
varied periods and estimates. Espe-
cially was she weary of the gasps and
groans of clients when they read prices
of labor, materials and decorations in
general.
So, she stepped on the gas and sped
away from 1t all for a short time. She
was grateful for the efficient help she
had left in her exquisite little studio,
Janet was embarking on that which
she considered Il rea holiday. Alone
In her car with only the restful whirl
Of her faithful motor that responded to
her lightest touch, she was going to
seek some of those little lost villages
that struggled away from the world in
cozy abandon on hill or In vale. In
them she hoped to find some hospitable
soul who would take her in for a
nights rest. She was going to be
bright and CHEEKY and chat to those
people about her world, and put into

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
lected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they nave the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish

like animated flower beds running
about he farm.
And so 1t went-pain, pleasure, rest
n chaos. Janet found them all in
those little lost villages through which
her adventure led her. And then she
came to the cottage over the hill. 1t
nestled against the sid of so steep a
descent that Janet caught her breath
when she saw 1t hanging there after
climbing the other side of the noun
tain. 1t commanded a view of the
Lebanon valley that actually intoxi-
Gated her with the sheer beauty of It.
Fruit blossoms in glorious array lay
scattered over the landscape and lent
their delicate fragrance to the nos
trils.
Assuredly a great rivet must be
employed to hold the small cottage
to Its perilous position. Janet knew
that she would seek a nights rest
there If 1t was her last adventure on
earth. She turned her car, now al
most empty of gay c%olors, into the
narrow I'M that led to the cottage.
1t was just twilight and a serene still
ness added to the charm of the eve
ming. The last rays of sunlight fiecked
the hillside.
Janet knocked gently at the door,
while she stood on the wide veranda
drinking in the panoramic scene be-
fore her.
The man who opened the door had
a view of Janet's back before the Joy
of glimpslng her face.
"Oh!' exclaimed Janet rather star
tied, IL wanted to know If you have
an extra room. 1 should love to spend
the night here" She looked up into
Dick Rawley's eyes. 81 never saw so
wonderful a view"
"Nor did l." confessed Rawley. and
there was an enigmatic smile along
with the words that made Janet blush
slightly.
She then told him about her holt
day and how she had been spend
ing 1t.
I'm sorry" he told her, "but I live
all alone here while l work on end
less movies. This is my den."
"Oh" Janet again commented. "In
that case ! will have to be on my
way" Her voice was wistful. "This
would have been the browning glory
of my trip"
rs there a chance that you would
share my evening meal with me If /
bring it out here-so you may enjoy
the viewF" Rawley scarcely hoped
this beautiful. interesting girl would
accept his hospitality, but to his sur
prise she smiled her joy.
"And ~afterward," said Rawley, "if
you permit me, / will show you the
way to a cottage not too far from
here where a dim distant relative of
mine lives. and where 1 go and stop
when my own society, or perhaps more
t%ruthfully. my own cooking, gets the
better of me-"
81 hate to trouble you to show me
the way to the other cottage" she
suggested when they had finished sup
per and the stars were beginning to
dot the sky and time to go had ar
rived.
ut is the most delightful break
have ever had In my day of hard
work. / will stay over there, too, and
you can bring me back in your car
in the morning. How's that?"
Very fine" laughed Janet.
Then as they motored down the hill
1t seemed almost as If the faithful
little motor knew that there would
almost always be some one beside
Janet from nov on, and 1t purred very
softly along the mountain trail.
