Head Ached and There Was Dull,
Stupid Feeling That Indi-
Gated the Need OF
BIack-Draught,

IT have tried many remedies for
constipation, but the most salts
factory one is Black-Draught," says
Mrs. Lloyd Duncan of Pine Knot,
KY. 'I began using it four or five
years ago, and still use it when I
need laxative. 1t seems to cleanse
my system.
IT used to have severe headaches,
would get up in the morning with a
dull, stupid feeling, and bad taste
in my mouth. I didn't feel like /
wanted any breakfast, and I didn't
feel equal to my work. I now take
k-Draught as soon as begin
feeling these symptoms, and a few
doses makes all the difference in the
world. I do not lose day with
headache, and I do not have sour
stomach any more.
IT give Black Draught to my little
girl when she has cold and needs a
laxative. I keep it in easy reach on
my medicine shelf"
Every one, young and old, should
learn to keep their systems free from
impurities. Constipation locks poi
sons up in the body and allows them
to do their dangerous work. They
should drive out these poisons with

But I want you to know. I think

Afterward she was to remember
his words, but now she was only
conscious Of the strength Of his
arms.

His voice sounded tired.

misunderstanding from the very
beginning"
do you still want to see me to-
night?"
mot If you're going to be unreas-
enable"
His frankness was appalling, but
Nancy replied bravely, 1T don't feel
unreasonable now. And I want to
see YOU"
In the end he came with an eager
ness in his face which did much to
comfort her.
Sweetheart" he said, II love
you"
Magic wordsl They obliterated
her unhappiness as If it had never
been. But she made him sit down
while she asked what her mother
had said.
at isn't my place to tell you," he
insisted. 81 thought at first I'd Just
stay away, but when I saw that you
didn't come to the dance I made up
my mind that no one under heaven
could keep us apart If you love me.
Do you. Nancy? DO YOU?"
"Oh. she cried, IT adore YOU"
He held her away from him and
looked searchingly into her eyes.
Enough to marry me in spite Of
anything your mother or any one
else may think?"
IT wonder If you do or If the phys
ical attraction we have for each
other has blinded you to everything
else?"
How could It? OF course not.
Why, think you're perfect"
He sighed. You're only proving
my point. You see. I know you're
not perfect. I think you'll probably
make very incompetent wife"
~hy, Eric Nelsonl You don't
love me If you can talk that way"
II love you," he insisted, ain spite
Of it. But you can't cook can you?
You don't know thing about keep
ing house. My wife will have to do
all of those things"

she shivered. 81 couldn't do that"
II hope you won't have to. But I
really should marry a girl who could.
My mother is great believer in the
efficacy CT honest toll"
1t was seldom he spoke of his
mother. Nancy asked: DO you
mean she would expect me to do
those things?"
"She will expect you to know how
to do them. I may as well warn
you, Nancy, that we shall have to be
satisfied with each other, because
neither Of us is going to be congen-
ial with the others family"
She wondered why he should
thrust. this information upon her
now, when ALL she wanted was to
kiss him and be held close in his
arms.

SO you wouldn't be ashamed Of
Mother, please :"
"It's true" Amanda continued,
definantly. IT haven't been good
enough for your fine friends, just as
never was for your fathers family.
But I've stood for it without saying
a word"
Torn with remorse, Marcy ran to
put her arms about the trembling
figure.
"Why, darling, I'm not ashamed
Of you. haven't meant 1t that way"
i've seen it, Nancy. But didn't

get somewhere. It's when / see my
work and worry wasted can't stand
it. You're breaking my heart :"
At the beginning of the conversa-
ton Silas had snorted with disap-
prevail and disappeared into his
shop. Nancy, patting her mother on
the back, wondered If for the first
time in her life it would be neces-
sary to ally herself with her father
IN this case he seemed so much the
more reasonable Of the two.
"Now, don't cry, Mother. You
know wouldn't like anyone who
was cheap or common. Eric's a
gentleman as much as Raymond.
Without so much money. of course.
but I'm sure he's from just as good
a family"
"why are you sure7" demanded
her mother "I don't think he is.
There's something rough and un-
polished about him." :
"That isn't true. On, well. what's
the use arguing?"
None" shifted Amanda, with no
sign Of weakening.
Nancy returned to the living room,
amazed at her mothers unsupported
tenacity. If only she had been sweet
to Eric when he called. At least she
should have let him come and offer
his explanation. What could Aman.
da have said to him? Knowing
how reserved he was, she doubted
If he would ever tell.
Christmas dinner was eaten in
frigid silence by the Gage family.
Amanda served, stopping occasion
ally to wipe the tears from her eyes.
Nancy's father ate rapidly and es-
capped as soon as possible.
When Nancy started to carry out
the dishes her mother said, "Just
leave them alone" so she wandered
from dining room to living room
and back again. Nothing to dol
No way to occupy her time.
What was happening at the Har-
courts? Dinner being served in the
elegant dining room. Flowers on
the table; wreaths of holly in all the
windows, with here and there a lit
tie mistletoe. Edith would see to
that.
But Nancy couldn't picture Eric
playing up to the extent of kissing
her hostess under William Har-
courts eyes, although Edith had ad-
mitted he liked Eric.
Hes a real MAN." thought
Nancy.
Even her own father thought so.
He was the type other men appre-
ciated.
From her seat on the leather
couch Nancy watched the hands of
the clock; listened to 1t striking the
hour after it was dark. Amanda
still was in the kitchen, busy with
her unending tasks, when Nancy
crept to the telephone and repeated
Eric's number.
She called three times before she
found him in his room.
Eric" she begged, I'm sorry was
cross this morning."
Don't mention It, Nancy. I'm
inclined to think you were right"
What do you nean?" she in
quired, anxiously.
