Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: During the
past years | have gone with a young
college fellow whom | thought | cared
nothing for and so, as my folks were
not so "enthused' about him, they
made me drop him, but still he per
sisted in making love to me. Finally
I told him the exact reason for my
quitting him and also told him | did
not love him, but would like to CORE
spond with him. But he told someone
that he knew | cared nothing for him
and he wouldn't bother me any longer.
Now he writes to a cousin of mine
| really care for him, and how can
gain him back? Should | write?
There is another fellow whom like,
but ! can't find out if he cares for me.
once in awhile he tells me of girl
he used to go with. How can I find
out unknowingly to him if he really
cares for this girl yet? BEE.
The young man did the natural
thing in dropping you entirely when
you told him you did not love him and
your parents did not want you TO go
with him.
If he calls on you and takes you
places you may be sure he likes you

They'll be here Thursday. Your
father will be done the lower field
then, so he can drive in to Hornbrook
to meet them. Well have some jam
and cold meat and hot biscuit-they
may be hungry when they come Amy,
you'd better take the good rug from the
front room and put it in Luther's
old room, they'll have that And that
pitchers cracked-maybe we can buy
a new one.
Il think l could make you a new
waist out of James old white linen
skirt. There's plenty of good mater
ial and you like the way make waists.
You're so hard to suit, generally"
Amy said nothing. She wanted a
waist like the one Luther's wife wore
in the picture Luther had sent home
it had lace firth and looked very
smart. But Amy could not make out
how II was cut, though she looked
more at the blouse than at the
woman's face.
Il wonder what she'll be like" she
asked.

Seventeen shouldn't judge older

There was no stock answer to this,
so the mother sat silent
What would Luther's wife be like?
Her coming seemed ominous-Luther
said she had not been in the country
for years. Would she like it? Most
likely not. If she had been on the
stage
Her thoughts never went beyond
that. To her all people who had been
on the stage were in one class, and
that class was never spoken of among
ladies" Vaguely she believed all
theatrical people wicked, there were
no distinctions. OF course Claire-an
odd name. too-had not been on the
stage long. Amy Talbot seized this as
an excuse for thinking she might have
escaped the evil lurking back of the
footlights. Young Amy regretted the
brightness of the new sisters career
She wanted to think of her as a star
and her experience had been too brief
! for her to have attained that.
So. each sat, wrapped in contempla

is Henry Wood, and he lives IN lodg-

ladies met him. He has only been five
days in the place. In the character OF

The man is by trade a conjurer and
performer, going round the canteens
after nightfall, and giving little entel
tainments at each. He carries some
creature aabout with him in that box,
about which the landlady seems to be
in considerable trepidation. for she
had never seen an animal like it. He
uses it in some of his tricks according
to her account. So much the woman
was able to tell me, and also that It
was wonder the man lived, seeing
how twisted he was, and that he spoke
in a strange tongue sometimes. and
that for the last two nights she had
heard him groaning and weeping in
his bedroom. He was all right, as
far as money went, but in his deposit
| he had given her what looked like a
! bad florin. She showed it TO me, Wat
son, and it was an Indian rupee.
