c^rr^r . | THE REUNION 1 By E. 6. SANBORN. 8 =1 sL. Somewhere in the White mountains, nestled among the pines, is a resting camp erected for our heroes. To this place young Lieut Irwin Kittredge was sent by his physicians to stay until he had fully recovered from his nervous condition. Irwin was very energetic, and the long, weary days of doing nothing began to wear on him. In the years be P- fore he had Joined the army he had made paintings, so to while away the long honrs he took lengthy strolls, always carrying his artist's outfit with him. It was a windy: day that Irwin went to a distant peak, which he had been planning to visit ever since coming to the wayside camp. He reached there early in the afternoon and had been , painting for nearly an hour when suddenly a sharp breeze blew some of his papers down the mountainside. As these were some of his most treasured works he picked up his painting materials and rushed after them. Swiftly, but cautiously, he made his way down the mountainside, searching to the right and to the left with a keen eye. He became discouraged and wa5 . about to give up in despair when he *ame to the foot of the mountain without finding his lost treasures. He decided to go back to camp. He had : * gone but a few yards after making ??? this decision when he rounded a sharp bowlder. He stopped with a start when he spied sitting on a fallen tree trunk a faiif young lady. r His papers were forgotten. At first . he was too surprised to say a word, but soon pulled himself together enough to doff his cap. When and where had he seen this girl before? Ah, yes, now he remembered. She was In Prance at a canteen in Mouthers, ci* -n OU Callus? "Gets-It" t Will Peel It Off! Nothing on Earth Like Simple "GetsIt" lor Corns or Calluses. A callus, or thickened skin on the sole of the foot, which often makes walking a misery is of the same nature as a corn. "Gets-It'' removes it as easily as it does the toughest corns. By using a few drops of "Gets-It" on the callus, you will be able to peel it off with your fingers, in one complete oiece just as you would a banana peel. It leaves the skin free and smooth as though you never had a callus. You need no rrtore fussy plasters, sticky tp,pe, "packagey" bandages, knives or scissors for corns or calluses. "GetsIt" is the national corn remover, the biggest on earth, used by millions. It never fails. You'll work, play and ^ dance at ease in spite of corns. "Gets-It," the only sure, guaranteed, money-back corn-remover, costs but a trifle at any drug store. MVd by E. Lawrence & Co., Chicago, 111. Sold in Lexington and recommended as the world's best corn remedy by Harmon Drug Co. Sj&- i I Ready MULES, HORSES, BUGGIES Our pens are well st and all sizes.

Call and ; GREGOF 1115 Hampton Si I After the first surprise of the meet- [ l (ing the two young people had a very > i animated conversation. Helena Ber- j | wick told how she and her chum had j | worked at the canteen in France and i were about to return to their old posi| tions when the chum suggested their j ! going to visit the White mountains, j ; She also said that they expected to , ] leave the mountains within the week. Irwin told of his experience since j j leaving the little town of Moutiers. ! j How he was wounded and of his or- j | ders to go to this rest camp for a com- ! ; plete rest cure. He added that he ! | was so much better that he thought | ! he would be able to leave within a few i ; days. The lieutenant and Helena were so j ! deeply interested in their talk that ! they had failed to take notice that | | the sun had sunk behind a bank of ; j clouds and that a severe rainstorm ! | was brewing. When they stopped a j minute they started up in astonish, ment. Before they could get to the j hotel where Helena was spending her j days the rain came down in torrents. \ ! Helena went to her room, and Irwin j i back to camp, but not before he re- j i ceived a promise from his friend that she would go for a ride the next day. j1 i fTVi/v nnvf dov ,rae Mnor an/1 Hoaiitl.

Several months passed, when Helena received an invitation from her chum to come to a party which was to be I given to her brother a week later 1 when he arrived from overseas. She ; gladly accepted the invitation, and j there was a great amount of fun get-11 ting ready for it. During the excite- j j ment Eleanor had forgotten to men-! I tlon that her brother was bringing a friend with him. The girls went to meet them. The train pulled into the station, bringing with it two well and happy boys. The brother rushed to his sister, catching her in his arms, both forgetting for a time the other two, until a sharp exclamation from Helena roused them. Turning quickly they saw that Helena and Irwin knew each other well. "Why, Helena, do you know my i I brother's friend?" I "Irwin, you old scout, you never told me of any girl," came from the; brother. . "Well, you see," replied the young ; 6oldier, "Miss Helena and I met first \ in a canteen in France; then later in , i the White mountains; and now, as a j strange coincidence, we meet again in j my old pal's home town." The young folks, when they could ; stop talking long enough, went to their j home, and that evening the young peo- j pie had a very pleasant time. Helena went to bed tired but happy that eve-; nlng. for had not Irwin said some very j: wonderful words that night? jJ (Copyright, 1919, McClure Newspaper Svn- 11 dicate.) j ! What Wes Ctu. Wu Whittle, a teamster down to Lewell, Ark., was so patriotic during the fall of 1918, before the Hun was finally vanquished, that he put a mortgage on his team and wagon for $50 and bought War Savings Stamps in his desire to do his duty by the government. Some thought Wes was doing more than his financial strength warranted. But he just went down into the woods, cut up fuel and sold it and the mortgage was soon lifted. ) Now Wes is buying more stamps, because he realises their value and finds he can save.

Clean up day on the battleship New Jersey means something more than hard work to the gobs on board that craft. It means a decided addition to the ship's fund that is drawing interest in the form of War Savings Stamps. While the war ship was anchored in Boston harbor recently, the erew gathered up all the obsolete ' sn.p 5 nttings, cast off jumpers and other clothing, books and papers and sought out a junk dealer. The dealer was willing to pay cash for the junk offering but the crew demanded payment ki War Savings Stamps and got * ' ? V -J It.

As a portion of its campaign against high prices, the National Association of Credit Men has directed a letter to each member, declaring that the remedy necessary to change present conditions rests in increased production and stimulation of personal savings. The letter was sent through J. H. Tregoe, secretary and treasurer of the organization. Members of the association throughout the country have been extending hearty co-operation to . the Savings Division of the Treasury^ Department to popularize thrift through the sale o' government savings securities such as Thrift and War Savings Stamps and Treasury Certificates.

You will often find these little birds in apple trees when in bloom. Their olive green and yellow plumage harmonizes with the green leaves of the tree. The male bird has a black crown patch on the top of its head, while on the female this cap is greenish like the back. This bird is found throughout the eastern United States, but winters in Central America. GASOLINE SYSTEMS oil Tanks and Pumps. Air Compressors, Computing Scales, Floor Scales, Show Cases.
