she chose to be ungracious. She
felt a sickening disappointment,
however, for she had looked for
ward to being alone on the drive.
For some reason it had seemed
to her that she could not get away
from Deans influence and the re-
action to ClarisSa's yelled remarks
while she remained in their house.
Dean joined ner moment later
and took her arm to assist her down
the outer stairs. To Virginia the as
sistance was unnecessary but she
made no audible protest, knowing
that the action was perfectly
natural.
Only. well, she couldn't help
recalling what Nathaniel had said
about Deans touching her. She felt
that she was being slightly disloyal
to her absent sweetheart when her
companion let his hand remain at
her elbow while they crossed the
sidewalk.
And once seated in the car, the
feeling grew as Dean sat close be-
side her, even edging over as she
moved nearer her corner. Virginia
took herself to task as being foolish
to mind it, but the impression of
undue warmth in Uncle Fred
erickS" manner became deeper as
they roared smoothly along River
side Drive and up toward Yonkers.
Virginia tried to assure herself
that it was merely evidence of his
sympathy for her, but Nathaniels
words had awakened a new con-
seriousness of the man beside her
He had become suddenly a person
who was entirely disassociated from
her past ideas of him as the father
Of her dearest girl friend.
But when he reached for her
hand she drew it away as casually
as she could but nonetheless

Had Virginia been observing his
face she might have wondered that
he showed so much displeasure over
so small matter.

would want to let him do that but

later. "And please don't think that

Man Tells How He Finds
Relief From Troubles Due
to Constipation by TAX

The following statement by Mr..
w. A. Bruce of Seneca, S. G., is
typical of the experiences described
by thousands of Black-DraugnV
users:
"I am forty-four years old, and l
might say" relates Mr.. Bruce, that

tervals all my life.
st remember that when just a
small child, my mother made tea
from Black Draught and gave it to
me.
GAS I grew up, when I needed a
medicine for biliousness, or for con-
stipation, I would take Black
Draught.
"a few years back, I noticed that
If I took the least cold, and my
stomach was out of order, I would
have very severe headache. The
cold seemed to settle there. My
ewes would burn, and I would suffer
a good bit of pain. took Black
Draught for this, and do not have
that trouble now.
'I found, too, that there was no
use suffering from constipation, as
I once did. Black-Draught relieved
me, and I am feeling fine, now. I
have never found a better medicine
of the kind than Black-Draught,
and it is all I take now.

PENNSYLVANIA
! DELEGATES TO
/ BACK HOOVER
Melons Speech Guarded to
Leave LoophoIe in
Emergency.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, May 15.-Barring
unforeseen developments between
now and June IL, the strong Penn
sylvania Republican delegation will
support Herbert Hoover for the Re-
publican presidential nomination,
it was learned today.
This information came from
sources close to Secretary Of Urea
sury Mellon. They interpreted the
Secretary's Philadelphia speech as
supporting Hoover, but at the same
time leaving a loop-hole IN case OF
the remote chance OF drafting
President Coolidge.
Mellon believes Hoover would win
the election if nominated; he thinks
Hoover would carry thesfarmer vote
and would make a good President.
Mellon is said to have carefully
worded his address before the
PENNSYLVANIA State Republican
committee so as not to destroy all
hopes for those who believe Coolidge
will be drafted at the last minute.
Mellon, however, feels certain that
the President settled the matter
once and for all with his famous Il
do not choose to run" statement.
He feels that the drafting matter
is all settled as far as the Presi-
dent is concerned, but there might
be some exigency where Coolidge
would accept the nomination-but
that this is extremely remote.
Melons address pointed out that
Hoover is the only candidate in the
Republican field who comes nearest
to satisfying the administrations
requirements.

'"Then you must know better

Dean replied with a seriousness of
expression that carried a touch of
conviction to Virginia.
"But would it? I could help him,
I'm sure of that"

was strange, added in explanation,

Dean frowned. "You aren't
