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

Batten out, though, If you will only
lave confidence in me, Edith, tad
Maiae keep Hazel in Ignorance of (he
iBtlre affair."
A week later a handsome young

that be was a perfect cad to bare

^ "Wont you try to forglre me, Hazel,
dear?" he murmured, as he took her
hand In his. 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."

"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."

"Two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars is too much money. It might
make me unhappy and discontented.
, If the sum was $100, I might take
it. I'm not going to change my happiness
for hell on earth."
William J. Parfitt, farmer of West5
ford, Mass., made this statement
after he had refused to sign his
J name to legal papers which would
, have made him the owner of a legai
cy of $260,000, left by his sister,
J who died in Australia in January,
; 1918.
Mr. Parfitt is the owner of a farm
of about 50 acres and says he has
an income by which he is able to
live in comfort with his wife and

Mr. Kettering Says:?
DELCO-LIGHT is the physical
manifestation of a thought
Never cuss a Gasoline Engine.
Cuss the Designer.
DELCO-LIGHT ran 2000 hours before
the first plant was sold.
1 All things are manufactured by
man for man's comfort and needs?
If men were twice as large as they
are, chairs would be made just double
their present size.
So long as man is willing to debase
his ideals for the dollars he can
make, we shall have wars.
I. Commercialism "don't go" in DELCO-LIGHTING.
I "Speed" counts for nothing, in
making a success. If you are on the
wrong road, the faster you go, the
farther you will get from the desired
obj'ect The chief thing is to "get
right"?then "stay right".
i We shall go out of business rather
than design or manufacthre cheap
apparatus.
! DELCO-LIGHT is practically a
"custom-made" plant. It is cut to fit
the needs of the Farmer.
Ask J. V. CARTER, Lake City
for a demonstration.
