CHAPTER HI

That night the carnival was held and Sally officially was crowned Queen. A magic wand must have been waved to have produced such a crystal fairyland. The colorful pageants, the spectacular floats, the brilliant flares, the huge blocks of Ice carved into all manner of ob- iects. On either side of the throne, raised at the top of the long silver stairway, stood two majestic lions, made from snow. Hidden lights, in rainbow colors, turned the crystal world into rose, then lavender, then gold. Last of all in the solemn pro- cession came the Queen in the mag nificence of regal robes, an ermine cloak with train that spread for yards like peacock's tail, glist- ening Scepter in her hand, gilt tering tiara crowning her dark curls.
 There were sighs and whispers and then a mighty thunder of ap- plause and acclaim.
 The carnival continued long in- to the night, until the last tiny star was enfolded in a cloud and put to bed, and the last song had died on the clear, crisp aid and the Queen and her ladies in waiting found that their eyes were dream ddded and their dancing slippers

Pains In Stomach Kept
 Local Man Awake Nights

Always suffered with indigestion, gas, heartburn, and other distress after eating until he took "Vendol." i" Says all credit goes to this splendid medicine for wonderful relief it gave.
 MT. Rocco Daddona of B Violet St., Waterbury, employed by the Chase Metal Co.,, recently gave the Vendol Man in Apothecaries Hall, the following statement, telling how his remarkable medicine had bene- fitted him. Mir. Daddona says:
 Every time I ate a meal, I was sure to suffer with indigestion later. So much gas would form that it caused terrible pains all through my stomach and side, These pains we're so bad they would awaken me all hours of the night, and I hardly knew what it was to get a good nights sleep. In addition to this, often became nauSeated and hot, sour liquids would rise in my throat.
 T was getting such little benefit from my food that I just felt bad all over. My head ached. often felt bilious, and my nerves were all un- strung.
 "A friend. knowing how was feeling, advised me to take some vendol and the little Vendol laxative tablets, so started taking the treat- ment. Vendol lost no time in reliev- ing constipation and clearing away ali the poisonous wastes from my digestive tract, and that was the be- ginning of my improvement to better health. ~

SEMINOLE TRAIL
 IS IDEAL ROUTE
Trip Outlined By Democrat Avoids Traffic in Reach= ing Florida

New England motorists driving to Florida and other sections of the South for their annual vacation, prefer not to come in contact with, nor pass through large cities because of their dense traffic and compli- cated regulations. They realize that this saves time, avoids delay and adds pleasure to the southern trip. Many use Route U. s. 202 and the Seminole Trail, which is very scenic and is replete with historic places of outstanding interest. Those not familiar with this route will un- doubtedly be interested in learning about it.
 Route U. S. POP starts at Bangor, Me, and leads southwestwardly through the New England States to and across the Bear Mountain Bridge, spanning to majestic Hud- son river, about two miles north of Peekskill, N. Y. It continues south ward from the Bridge through the states of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania to connection with Route U. s. 90 in Paoli, Pa. From Paoli one follows Route U. S. 30 into Gettysburgh, site of the famous Battlefield, where Route U. s. 15 is
 met and followed southward into
 Culpeper, Va. Leave Culpeper on Route U. S. % and drive southward on it into Greensboro, N. C., where Route U. s. 220 is encountered and followed to Cheraw, s. c. Continues from Cheraw on Route U. s. 52 to Society Hill and the junction with Route U. S. 15A. On the latter route travel southward to Walterboro, and then southward from Walterboro on Route U. s. IT into Jacksonville, Fla.
 Free highway maps showing this and other scenic, non-congested. routes between New England and the South, as well as the various roads connecting with U. s. 202 in New England, may be had by writing to the Bear Mountain Bridge at 39 Broadway, New York city.

He said, Shall we use the. tow pulley to get to the top? It will save time" The tow-pulley was long loop of rope, that fastened about ones waist, saved hours of laborious climbing.
 Sally shook her head stubborn ly. I've plenty of time," she said. even though he had none for her, except this grudgingly extracted bit, of which she would make the most, or die in the attempt.
 He helped her adjust her skis into the toe-plates, frightened the bindings with one firm pull. They herringboned up the hill, breaking the virgin snow that had fallen during the night.
 Want to rest?" Dan asked at the halfway mark. She had matched his silence with hers. She would show him she could share the companionship and stiffness of new day that was like a sanctu- ary in its stark purity.
 &sN
 She shook her head. They trudged on, side by side. It was glor- ious, the clean air washing against her face, filling her lungs, beckon- ing her on and on, up and up. But not so glorious as the down. trail, the hushed moment of the Schuss! when the ground would drop away beneath you, and wind hum in your ears as, like a feathered creature on the wing, you took the forest bound run.
 Do you know anything about skiing?" Sslly's instructor de- manded sternly, the summit reached.
 "A little" she admitted, with her dimpled smile. She should be better than she had been last year, after months vacation in Switzerland last spring, perfect ing real Alpine technique.
 Wouldn't Corey laugh if he could see her now, listening so at tentively while Dan explained so earnestly the importance of re- alization, of keeping the skis to- gether, the weight balanced!

stiled. Nevertheless Sally Blair, her short reign ended, slipped out of bed before o'clock that next morning, resumed the ordinary clothing of mortal maid, and crept out to meet the dawn.
 Or, rather, to meet Dan Reyn- olds, who was waiting, true to his word, at the foot of practice hill.
 T didn't think you'd make it, ' he said. He had not put any stars to bed. It was too impor- tant that he be in form for the last important events of the meet.
 q always keep my word," Sally returned. She looked as fresh as if she had had her regular beauty sleep; perhaps her dark eyes were a little brighter, her cheeks a bit more flushed. T wasn't at all sure you'd keep yours" she challenged, swinging into step.
 Thanks" His mouth set in a grim line. It was very nice mouth, even though it was so stern. He was not smooth and shining and fair like Corey. But there was ruggedness, a strength about this boy that matched the mountains he set out to conquer.

pains in my stomach and side have a good appetite, eat what I like. but never have to worry about indigestion, gas, acid risings, or heartburn. Since I am getting real nourishment from my meals, feel better in every way, headaches are gone, sleep restfully all night long, and get up in the mornings feeling fine. My advice to anyone suffering as I did is to get some vendol with out delay"
 Give this splendid Root, Herb and Alkaline medicine q chance to help you, too. Come to Apothecaries Hall, 63 l8ank St., ask for the Vendol Man, and let him explain just what Ven-
 dol will do for you. Vendol is also sold and recommended by the EpO0ner Drug O., in OakviIle.

Better begin with a few basic stems and now blows first" he suggested proceeding to put her through the easiest maneuvers.
 T think l can try it now" Sally said. She had endeavored to give a good demonstration of windmill gyrations, holding her body with ram-like stiffness. It would never do to let this serious boy know she was laughing up her sleeve at him. Or was she? Before this first les son was over, Sally was not so sure. He had been so patient, so pains taking careful, so earnest and eager, when he finally accepted the idea that his pupil seemed in earnest, 1 too. Sally, after a warm word of praise when she swung a telemark that was almost too agile for such a beginner as she, had the grace to feel trifie ashamed.
 Still, he had asked for it. she told herself f1ercely, the lesson over, as he knelt before her to unSnap her SKIS.

 She liked the way his. hair rum | vNIo ipA AIN l,oN rvs oe,lye or sun-goggles for Dan Reynolds. He was of the wind and sky, the clear, swift air of mountain tops.
 "Oh, don't know"
 'Yes, you do. Tell mel"
 Well |. :" he hesitated, the warm color creeping up into his face. Its the kind of girl you are"
 That was what Corey had said! What kind of girl do you think I am? How can you be sure?" Her laughing eyes mocked him.
 I've known your kind before" His answer, like his eyes, was di- rect. Or rather I've always sworn I'd never let myself in for know ing them. Party pretties. Prom trotters. Glamor girls"
 
 That's not very kind - or fair!' The hot color flooded Sally's lovely face now. So that was all he thought she was. Just because she was so popular, because she could have worn a half dozen broken hearts to her credit, because she had been chosen Queen of the carnival. You ought she added, "at least give girl chance"
 T told you I haven't time," he answered, almost roughly. He strengthened to his tall, lean height. T don't belong in your crowd, Miss Blair, in your world. I'm working my way through school. sling hash for my meals; didn't Corey tell you this? only got spiked into the fraternity be- cause may make the OlympicS I'm just a poor scrub"

 She would show him that she could take it! Besides there were not many mornings left. She must make the most of every one of them. Especially if she was to show Corey = and the gang - that she could win her dare.
 But somehow Sally felt a little bit ashamed, now, when she thought of that. Was that because of this new boy, who claimed he had no part in the world of a carnival Queen?
