if THE SOLUTION j| 5i By MARGUERITE HAGGERTY 5 |A ? ? wuiiiiiiiiiiiiiifiiuiiiiruiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifi (Copyright, 1913. by McClure Newspapei tSyudletU) Basel ran upstairs to her partieslar little nook, and fairly threw herself Into a large lounging chair. 1 guess If I stay up here and read lor a while 1 will be left undisturbed for an hour at least" thought this dainty little ailss. After a few minutes had l elapsed, the book was thrown Idly to I one side, and resting her head comfor^ taMy on the back of the chair, slfe P dosed her eyes, Intending to solve the meaning of a letter that she had re' eefved that morning. Then, on second thought, she snatched the engrossing missive from a nearby table and settled back once again to peruse Its contents. "Oh, how perplexing It all seems. What can he possibly mean? Oh, well, I suppose I am too silly and nonsensical for words. The Idea of worrying myself over his fitful moods." Thus ehe argued with herself. One minute pitying her hero, and the next instant ready to pounce upon herself for wasting valuable time pondering over his puzzling letter. A half hour later, Edith, the peacemaker of the family, was passing to her room, and happening to glance Into her younger sister's den. saw that she was enjoying a serene little nap. Edith was a kindergarten teacher, and had just returned home feeling rather weary. Instantly it dawned upon her that a light luncheon served upstairs near the cozy fireside would be both Inviting and soothing after a tedious day's teaching. Soon the shades were drawn, and the electric lamp lit, casting a soft green glow over the room, while a tempting table set for two sent such a delicious aroma throughout the room that none could possibly Mcane Its lure. A merry ripple of laughter rang out, echoing down the hallway to the rest of the family household, who were already partly through with the evening meal. Hazel, blinking and smiling, jumped up and kissed her sister affectionately, at the same time silently uttering a prayer of thanksgiving to heaven for such a thoughtful and generous-hearted sister. During the course of the meal, all ?he petty trials and grievances of the day were talked over. Naturally, Ha el, still feeling quite upset, brought into the discussion the arrival of the mysterfcus letter from her affianced sailor boy. "Edith, dear, I have felt blue all day, but now that you are home it seems that a rainbow has flashed over my landscape, and brightened my hopes." "Well, Hazel, the only possible solution is that you must curb your pride, and write him a very courteous letter. In the meantime, a younger sister, the mischievous Miss Anna, who had gained knowledge of the letter earlier In the day, was patching up stray thoughts, and was positive that she mnst he the Innocent troublemaker. who had prompted all this misunderstanding. Anna was certainly nervous that evening. First, a knife fell, then a plate went crashing to the floor. Bang! down went a butter dish, and oh, what a daub that butter did make on the carpet. "For pity's sake," remonstrated her mother, "can't yon hold a plate In your hands for Ave minutes?" The next day Anna, after contemplating on the unhappy Incident that had occurred, resolved to waylay the peacemaker. That same afternoon tulte an Interview took place. "No, Edith, please do not Inform Hazel that I wore her green silk dress, because after she refused to loan It to me, why, I promised to be content with her rose crepe de chine. Then, jwhen I went to look over her wardtobe, the green dress looked so perfectly wonderful that I could not resist the temptation to wear It. Of course," she went on, "Hazel was lying town, and I stealthily slipped upstairs and tried It on. The color suit* d me so well, together with the fact that I am such a terribly selfish and tsId girl, made It Impossible for me 4e refrain from wearing the gown. That night, with George Parker at the social, I saw Jack Turner coming towards me. I felt pretty guilty and ite&ded the best thing to do was to bade my face with my hat. Probably I endeavored not to hold George's attention, and fairly succeeded. Do you understand now why Jack wrote In 9bch a melancholy strain? Poor Jack. He thought Hazel was deceiving him. He might have known, how* peer, that Hazel would not refuse to go with him In order to attend the so gHU Wiui ucvrfc. x wui suaiguiwi Batten out, though, If you will only lave confidence in me, Edith, tad Maiae keep Hazel in Ignorance of (he iBtlre affair."

With a radiant smile, she answered: "Little raindrops in the form of troubles only serve to strengthen our affections, and therefore I forgive you, provided you promise to check your hasty temper Id the future." Just then Anna coming upon the scene, peeped in between the portieres, and heaving a sigh of relief raised her right hand and Quietly mm* paured: "Never again." f A. EMPHATIC IN HER PRAISEJff TANLAC ANDERSON WOMAN DECLARES SHE BECAME A NERVOUS WRECK Mrs. Vernon S*ys T*nl*c Made H*r Feel as Well as She Ever Did "Tanlac is the finest tonic I have ever taken. I don't think it can be excelled." These emphatic statements were made by Mrs. Ida Vernon, o^- 31 Henderson St., Anderson, she gave in endorsement of Tanlac. "I took Tanlac for a bad run-down condition, and my health was so oaa I was unable to do my housework when I began taking Tanlac. I employed a cook then. I had indigestion badly and lots of food I could not eat, because of the suffering it would I cau*e me. Really 1 was just a nervous wreck. I had been under treatment almost continuously for almost five years, but I did not seem to improve any. i "A friend in South Georgia told me about Tanlac .and I took it. And the Tanlac got me to feeling as well as 1 ever did in my life. My appetite was returned to me, the indigestion was stopped and my whole system was strengthened. Tanlac surely did help me wonderfully. I gained about ten pounds in weight, too." Tanlac, the master medicine, is sold By Kingstree Drug Co., Kingstree, Farmer's Drug Co., Memingway; S. S.
