Thousands Of people afflicted with

bad breath by all who know.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gently
but firmly on the bowels, stimulating
them to natural action, and gently

that which dangerous calomel does
without any Of the bad after effects.
Olive Tablets bring no gripping pain

The bidding was quite good and,
looking at the north and south hands,
one can see that the slam should be
made If the trumps break and the
heart finesse works. However, the
slam can also be made If East holds
the king of hearts and at least four
cards each in diamonds and hearts.
When q club was opened, declarer
in dummy and after drawing three
rounds Of trumps, finessed the heart.
East won with the king and returned
the 10, and declarer now played the
ace and a small club, rufing with
dummy's last trump. Dummy now
held two hearts and three diamonds,
and declarer, after returning to his
hand with the diamond ace, played
his last trump But East was no
longer squeezed. merely discarding the
same suit as dummy.
Here is the way to make 1t: After
winning the first trick in dummy. q
small trump should be led to declarer's
king and the heart Immediately
finessed. The best defense is heart
return, whereupon declarer should
play the ace of clubs and ruff his los
ing club in dummy. Now the ace of
spades should be played, followed by
two more rounds Of trumps. On the
last trump lead dummy discards dia-

Old Mother Nature.

TLATHORNS THE MOOSE had
- left the shore Of the pond OF
Paddy the Beaver in a hurry.
4 Yes, sir, he had left in very
much of o hurry. He was running
away from something. Everybody
who saw him go knew this. Despite
the fact that he was in such a hurry.
he was taking care to 60 as silently
as possible. He was afraid. There
was no doubt about it. He who had
not hesitated to fight Buster Bear and
had put the latter to flight and who
had boasted that he was afraid of
no one was showing as much fear as
ever had Peter Rabbit when running
for his life. Peter and his cousin,
Jumper the Hare, stared after Flat
horns with look Of amazement and
unbelief on their faces. A moment
Or two later Farmer Browns Boy
came in sight.
Peter looked at Jumper and saw in
his eyes the same look Of wonder that
was in his own eyes. Could it be that
1t was Farmer Browns Boy from
whom Flathorns was running away?
Neither Peter nor Jumper was afraid
OF Farmer Browns Boy. You see, they
knew him. They had seen him often
and they knew that he was in some
ways their best friend.
Jumper answered the question in
Peters eyes. 'It is hard to believe,
but 1t must be that he ran away
because he feared Farmer Browns
Boy" said he.
Honker, the Goose, who had come
out on shore close by, overheard the
remark. Honker had long known
Flathorns in the latters home in the
Vast Wilderness beyond the Great
Mountain. HE doesn't know Farmer
Browns Boy" said Honker as he
slipped into the water. He got the
man smell and he has learned by
rather dreadful experience that at
this time Of year the man smell
usually means a hunter with a ter
rible gun. 1t was to get away from
hunters that he came down here to
the Green Forest. I don't blame him
for running when he got that man
smell. I trust Farmer Browns Boy
because have stopped here so often
that know he is our friend. Other
wise my flock and I would have been
on our way before this" Honker
swan out and joined his flock on the
farther side Of the pond, where the
great birds sat on the water with
their long necks stretched to full
height, as they watched the ap-
proach of Farmer Browns Boy.
1t was to get glimpse Of Honker
and his flock that Farmer Browns
Boy had come over to the pond of

pected, they were resting over for a

scenes of action, only this time it
was different. Now she could pay her
way. AS Ward began spending more
and more time at the ofice or at the
club promoting his business affairs,
Gale found it more of a problem to
fill her empty days
y y
60 1T was that she CHANGED to meet
James Markham, whom she dis
covered to be an up and coming young
playwright, at the home of one Of her
former chorus girl acquaintance. It
was love at first sight, and they both
knew it. Placed alongside Wards
middle-aged and unexciting person,
Markham seemed the youthful en-
bodiment Of everything that Gale had
been unconsciously missing since her
marriage. Characteristically, Gale
took the bit in her teeth and went
after the thing she wanted. She got
herself divorce.
Ward, as might be expected, was
wounded and resentful. He even went
so far as to consider shooting the in
terloper who had stolen his wife.
However, he did nothing but plunge
himself more deeply into his business
affairs in a vain effort to forget the
tragedy Of his life. It never occurred
to him to blame Gale.
Various reports trickled in from
various sources to Ward about the
woman who had deserted him. He
heard that she was happy and was
glad for her sake. Her husband, he
learned, had written and was produce
ing a play which competent critics
predicted to be huge success. He
wasn't surprised at that.
RUT he was surprised when Gale
showed up at his ONCE one day
with the tale that one of the angels
of the play had withdrawn and they
were in tight fix. She wanted to
borrow $4,000 to save all the money
they had already invested.
Ward considered her coldly, al
though he was burning inside with re-
pressed yearning for her. He would
lend the money as q pure business
proposition, with a note legally signed.
Gale was overjoyed.
She signed the note gratefully. As
Werd made out and signed . check
to her order and presented 1t to her,
she placed her arms about his neck
and looked up at him with the old
light in her eyes. Would he care to
come to her place some afternoon
when Markham would be busy at the
theater? It was her way of being
grateful.
Ward pushed her roughly away.
He told her In no uncertain terms that
he no longer cared, and besides he
had his own opinion of men who stole
other mems wives. Gale hurried out
in tears.
When she had gone Ward slumped
at his desk and pulled their we'd
ding photograph from a drawer. A
large tear welled In each Of his own
eyes.

Flathorns Finds a Change

short time before continuing on
toward the Sunny South. He had, Of
course. no idea Of the presence Of
Flathorns the Moose. Perhaps you
can guess his establishment and ex-
element when he discovered the foot
prints Of Flathorns along the edge Of
the pond. His eyes seemed almost to
pop out Of his head.
Some Of these are fresh tracks:
they were made only a short time
ago." said he as he stared in all di-
rections. They are Moose tracksl
They must be. They can't be tracks
of any one but q Moose. My, how
wish I might see him!"
In the meantime Flathorns had
kept going until he felt sure he had

and that dreaded human. He was

she had insisted upon meeting Ward.
The subtle flattery of his masculine
ego was the opening wedge that finally
split his caution entirely asunder.
Ward asked her if she cared to dance

drawing room, where the rugs had
been removed. She did care.
As they moved about among the
other couples Gale competently kept
the conversation moving. Forty-odd
though he was, Ward was as guileless
Is q sophomore when it came to
women. His experience was scanty at
squirting the so-called gentler SEX
BY the time they had circled the
room twice Gale had Ward feeling
like q schoolboy. Perhaps he would
have been perturbed had he stopped
TO consider her adeptness at keeping
the small talk directed upon him and
his affairs. But in the light of his So
eial naivette, he can hardly be blamed
for warming his middle-aged hands
ut the glow of unaccustomed youth
and beauty and for succumbing be-
meath the battery of beautiful and
practiced eyes that was turned on
him in full force.
Ward found himself, somehow un-
accountably, assisting Gale into his
limousine when they had left the
party. And, just as unprecedentedly,
asking If he might call upon her. She
said yes.
GALE made sure that he didn't for
get his engagement. After all, a
show girl, technically cat liberty"
must live and find some amusement.
And who could MI the bill better than
Q man who had more money probably
than he could keep track Of? Gale
was no neophyte at the game. As a
precauton she looked Ward up in Dun
d Bradstreet's to make sure Of his
credit rating, then proceeded to make
every effort to make herself agreeable.
It wasn't long until Ward had be-
come accustomed to leaving the Office
early several times q week to drop by
Gales apartment for an agreeable and
intimate hour Of cocktails and talk
before dinner. It opened new vistas
Of the potentialities Of domesticity,
1ust as Gale had planned.
And 50 she wasn't greatly surprised
when he ultimately laid his heart in
her lap, so to speak, and begged her
TO marry him. Gale had hardly ex-
pected such an old-fashioned, chival-
rous twist to the affair, but she &C
cepted nevertheless. To be honest, she
wasn't sure that she didn't love him.
