The TangIe
LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN
PRESCOTT TO SYDNEY
CARTON.

Dear sgd:
am sure you cannot conceive
what a shock your letter gave me.
You probably have been thinking
about Il for a long time and have
got used to it, but it came to me
like lightning out Of a clear sky.
1t was as though you had dropped
dead and 1 had been telegraphed
to come and make arrangements
for your burial.
Don't think this is funny, sgd.
It's absolute, straightaway truth. I
could almos lose Leslie out of my
life as easiL as I shall part with
you. And what makes the parting
doubly hard that I'm not going to
see you again before you go.
would have sone to you Immediately
on the receipt Of your letter, but
of course you know the doctors have
been keeping me in bed with my
leg out straight before me. and noN
cannot ever go to New York to
see you OF, and it's all on account
of that damn moving picture bust
ness.
The whole thing has become a
regular nightmare to me. 1 wish I
had never given my consent to let
them use any part Of the mill. AS
1t is, I'll have to stick around, and
It looks now as though we could
not pull off the thing for at least
three weeks. The doctor says I
will not be able to get down there
before that, and there is one thing
I am determined on, and that is
that I will not allow anything to
be done on the matter unless I am
on the ground. would never for
give myself II there should be a
real accident and I was absent.
would always feel that I might have
prevented it.
expect you have already seen by
what have written that 1 am not
no self. old chap, or I would not be
liking of accidents in this silly
way, but OF your going away and
my enforced confinement TO the
house. But / can't talk very much
about your leaving. sgd. 1 feel too
strongly on the subject.
Leslie came home three days ago
and, sgd, she is lovelier than ever.
Every time look at her I ask
myself. "Who are you, John Pres
colt, that a. woman like Leslie
could bring you wealth. success in
business, a love that forgives all
things and wonderful children to
carry on your name.
What are you. John Prescott,
that makes you worthy Of such
blessings as your wife has scat.
tered all about your" And worst
OF It all is that in spite of all this,
all that have, sgd, and no man on
earth has more. am bored with
life. To me. at the present mo-
ment. nothing would seem so splen-
did, as to throw IT all over and
start with you to the wilds of Africa.

trated compound of genuine Norway

cdy for throat and chest ailments.

druggist for "21h ounces of Pinex"
with directions and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso-
lutte satisfaction or money refunded.
