not want.
Automatically she ate; automatical*

?r whole life was as methodical and
automatic as a folding machine! Noth

aor Edith longed for unreal adven
tures, and she expressed It thus:
“Gee, don’t this Job give a girl the

He placed one hand on hers.
“Nix on the worry,” he answered.
“You’re here to enjoysy'surself; if
there’s any fines to pt^, I’m it. Do
you get me?”
“You are white,” she said at last.
He could not hoar her so she re

' “When we get there.” she decided
“it’ll be Dutch treat, anyway.”
When they reached the White City

Doctor Wright's chsuffeur? Not a

Eleanor Edith's castle' of romance
shivered to Its foundations. Then It
was all put on—all pretended. But
It was for her amusement he had
done It.
Her mother was speaking again.
“Mrs. Yeager says he’s a good boy,
born and raised right here In the city
—f.nd Just crazy to get out in the
country and do farm work. I guess
he’s right nice, but she says he’s
slow.”

Charleston, Miss.—Mrs. R. V. Heins, of this place,
says: “I have never had to use very much medicine,
because if I felt headache, dizziness, or colds, bad taste
in the mouth, which comes from torpid liver, I would
take a dose or more of Black-Draught, and it would
straighten me out and make me feel as good as new.
