The following evening when he
blithesomely breezed in from the Office
his wife met him with averted eyes
and merely suffered him to kiss her
cheek, when he had expected a glad
hug.
Archie was mystifed. They sat
down to a meal eaten almost in si-
lence He asked all the questions that
occurred to him, and always received
strained reply.
After an unusually long period of
silence, she broke into tears. Between
sobs he made OUT

you
Come" he murmured. "poor little
girl. You've been trying to straighten
up. and don't cry"
He drew her into the living room

the windows.

him. But just as he made a sugges'

the bench and the weeping willow a
policeman hove around a massed bush.
In spite of the balmy night. Archie
shivered, nonchalantly settled himself
on the bench and lit cigar
The officer paced carelessly by,
swinging his club. When his foot
steps had crunched out of hearing,
Archie once more scanned his vicinity.
Now he darted beneath the willow.
While it's long strands tickled the back
of his neck. he crawled on hands and
knees close to the edge of the flower
bed. Twice he surged forward. Each
time, where the shadows lay darkest,
he conscripted a plant.
In less than an hour the substituted
plants were rearing their heads where
formerly had gloomed the withered
ones. Now with enthusiastic enjoy
ment he drowned them in water, got
a towel and streaked the dust on the
furniture and opened wide the win
dows.
Late the next morning his wife ar

in the living room doorway a few mo-

were fresh and green. Her eyes
sparkled like morning dew on real

with beauties and the barred door.
With a countenance eloquent of
misery and anxiety, with a soul COM
pressed into a single desire-gerani-
ums---he journeyed up and down more
side streets and alleys. He found
many florist shops-all closed tight.
Now he walked aimlessly along.
Once he checked his momentum to
gaze longingly at a great pink curve
Of geraniums gracing a lawn before
an imposing residence. After a mo.
ment's thought, he considered going
in and Offering n weeks salary for two
plants. Just then a man in evening
clothes opened the front door with a
menacing click. Archie moved on.
Some minutes later he felt a vague
impression of stretching trees, ter
raced lawns and perfumed atmosphere,
and found that he was crunching the
gravel on path Of the city park.
He sat down on bench to evolve a
new line of action. After many plans
had been considered and discarded. he
decided that he would throw out the
pots and tell Corrine somebody had
stolen the geranimus because they had
grown so fine. Monday he would buy
two of the finest geraniums on the
market.
He rose, relaxing with relief AS he
swung into the path he caught a
glimpse Of something through the foli
age of a weeping willow that fasci.
mated him, moored him to the spot.
Wavering in the glow and the shad.
ows Of a row of white-globed electric
lights were a crammed wealth of gera.
niums in the shape Of an immense bed

seemed childish, foolish, revealing. A

eyes, superseded by deep determina-

Doctor at 50 Finds People
Still Prefer His Prescription

The basis of treating sickness has
not changed since DR.. Caldwell lett

placed on the market the laxative
prescription he had used in his
practice, known to druggists and the
public since 1892, as Dr.. Caldwell's 5
Syrup Pepsin.
Then, the treatment of constipa-
ton, biliousness, headaches, mental
depression, indigestion, sour stomach
and other indispositions that result
from constipation was entirely by
means of simple vegetable laxatives
herbs and roots. These are still tn,
basis of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
which is a combination of SIENNA am
other mild laxative herbs, with pep
sin.
DR.. Caldwell did not approve OF
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they were good for hui
man beings to put into their system.
If grown people want to use them
no one can deny them the privilege,
but they should never be given to
children.
