...... She knew. She had seen her
own mother.
Rocking in the twilight she told
herself that perhaps after all II was
best. This was the reason she had
not been able to find a position. She
would not need IT, She was to be
sheltered and protected. To realize
the dream most girls cherish
secretly. She would not regret her
youth, her vanished good times. She
told herself. complacently, that ex-
perlence had made her older than
her age. She had no more Illusion
about fairy princes and emeralds
and love. The thrills did not last.
Life within the grimy four walls or
this room had taught her that. There
was nothing to the madness which
seized you by the throat.
She pictured Franklin changed In
their new relations. He insisted he
would love her more than ever II

she had been blue so often, he would
be more tender. She would tell him

too, the secret of her cable from
Don. He would be less irritable
when he knew that Don would be
here any day. The strain and stealth
had been unpleasant for them both,
but it would soon be over. 1t. too.
would be like a dream.
A solemn excitement swept her as
she dressed. Don need never know
Of this new development. He had
always been the soul OF chivalry.
She was sure he would not stand in
her way
The future began to stretch be-
fore her like fiowery path. True.
she had never cared a great deal for
Vera's children, but her own would
be different 1t would be a symbol
of her love.

worthy"
She prayed that her father. wher-
ever he might be, would know and
understand.

CHAPTER LXXV1I

Sonia faced the facts grimly. No
moaning with remorse. This was
the chance she had taken the first
time she snatched at her freedom.
Because it had not occurred to her
then made it none less possible. Her
challenge to fate had been accepted.
The gauntlet was lifted. The fight
was on.
We'll, | must be sensible" she
repeated again and again. There
is a way out OF every difficulty-if
1 can Just keep cool enough to
think"
But to think was difficult, with
the room swaying about her. She
was so i'll that nothing seemed to
matter save moments respite. She
held her breath and, with closed eyes,
lay very still
Later she was able to reach the
kitchen and prepare breakfast
This revived her. although she felt
incapable of sustained action. So
she lay in a chair, turning the
pages Of magazine, whispering.
Keep cool, old thing! This has
happened to hundreds Of other girls. .
But the knowledge shook her like
chill. Cold drops of perspiration
bathed her face. She knew she was
trapped.
With a great sweeping determine
ton. she conquered her fear.
Don is coming home. He will be
only to glad to release me. We can
be married within a week There
is no reason we shouldn't be
married ="
She knew that Franklin was more
than willing to marry her, ready
to defy his mother now that the
spell had once been broken. Sonia
was confident his affection was sin
cere. He had said, time after time,
when is your husband coming
home? l want to marry YOU dar-
ling, to claim you openly. ="
And once they were married, let
the world how'll She would be cir
cumsepct all the rest of her life,
and people would forget. Why, it
had been rumored that one of the
older girls in Stockton had to be
married" But every one had been
just as nice to her as before. Her
mother seemed to be as proud as
any other grandmother.
Yes" Sonia decided, marriage
would settle the gossips."
If only Don would hurry! The
simple wedding in the shabby par
sonage had never happened to her.
She had not been that whit-faced
bride. The disloyalty of that wife
had nothing to do with her.
Gradually she became able to face
the future without flinching. She
was not so wicked. Her sin had
been committed in love. Had not
Christ himself said, of another wom-
an, Her sins, which are many, are
forgiven; for she loved much?"
Resignation filled her heart. She
saw herself settling down to a quiet,
contented life, mistress of a home
mother of child. Franklin's mother
would forgive them after the child
was born. Grandmothers were never
able to resist babies. They seemed

How to stop
BOlEI..Ss 8 !

There's only one way to stop boils.
Stop the cause Of boilsl That's COM
mon sense-isn't it? All right. Boils
thrive because the blood gets so weak
in healthy, red cells that it can't
throw off the impurities that get into
the body. There's not enough rich, red
blood to purify the system.
Now-S. S. S. builds back the blood
to fighting strength. S. s. s. builds
red-blood-cells = builds them by the
millionsl Boils dry upl
s. S. S. is the thing. Impurities that
cause boils and other skin eruptions
can't stand up against the rich,
healthy, red blood that S. s. s. builds.
That's all there is to it.
Stop boils with S. s. 8. It's the way.
Get It at any druggist. The larger
bottle is more economical.

THE E,Ks' BEDTIME STORY

Cousin Wobbly blinked his eyes.
yawned and walked to the window
of his green shingled bungalow.
Throughout the morning the snow
had been falling and now that the
big white flakes had ceased, Cousin
Wobbly looked about for some ex-
cuse to leave for a walk. But the old
lady housekeeper had told him that
his wife had said he must assist in
the washing of the floors, so he again
sat down by the window.
cousin Wobbly," called the old
lady housekeeper. and at first he pre-
tended that he did not hear for of all
the work around the green shingled
bungalow he hated washing floors
the most of all.
"Cousin Wobbly," she called again,
and this time she stamped her foot
and clapped her hands in a way that
old ladies have when they are impa
tient, SO Cousin Wobbly hoped at
once to the kitchen.
"You put on your warm fur coat
and your big mittens, Cousin Wob-
bly," said the old lady housekeeper.
land be sure to put on your rubbers.
for I wish you to go down to the A
and store and bring me home two
pounds of raisins, a cup of malt and
a yeast cake"
So Cousin Wobbly hurried into his
warm fur coat, his big mittens and
his rubbers and briskly trotted down
Winthrop street, which passes before
his bungalow, until he reached Water
street, for he knew the old lady
housekeeper must be going to make
applesauce for his supper, for what
else would she be doing with raisins.
malt and yeast cake.
But right at the corner Cousin
Wobblys heart seemed to stop beat
ing: he sure was in for an adventure,
for there on the corner he saw an
Elk animal in big fur coat and
without any rubbers. Cousin Wob-
bly, wished that he could turn down
the street without being seen for he
felt that the Elk chap must be one
of those bad chaps as he evidently
did not have wife or old lady
housekeeper to make him put on his
rubbers. And sure cough, the bad
chap had seen Cousin Wobbly for he
called out In loud voice, cousin
looking for. There's a committee
meeting on at the club and 1 am out
looking for members" I'm not a
member of any committee" replied
Cousin Wobbly, land besides / am
doing en- errand for the family"
The bad chap just smiled and put
his arm around Cousin Wobbly,
started for the Elks' Home and
said, you are sure enough mem
Der of this committee, old top" But
m It hurry back home and" but
Cousin Wobbly did not want to tell
his fellow animal that he had to
wash the floors SO he did not finish.
"That's what they all say" replied
the bad chap and before he realized
1t Cousin Wobbly was walking up
over the big stone steps, under the
big B. P. o. e. flag and into the
Home. I've got victim" shouted
the bad chap as they passed into a
room where a number of other Elk
animals were gathered around a
table, upon which there were a couple
Of packs of cards. Cousin Wobbly
was forced into a chair and one of
the bad chaps around the table
started to pass out cards to each of
those sitting around.
"Pick up your hand and play,
Cousin Wobbly," said the bad chap,
who was dealing and Cousin Wobbly
said, why what is this all about?"
Don't try to pull any of that stuff
here" was the reply you may be
