Dear Miss Fairfax: I have been engaged to a man for over four years and lie keeps putting our wedding off from time to time and making ex cuses. and he keeps corresponding with other lady friends and exchang ing Christmas presents and cards. He seems to care for me, but 1 don’t want to make a mistake. Now. what am I to think? J- H l think you should have a clear understanding with your fiance. He Should be willing to give up close friendships with other girls if he really mean, to marry you. I suspect his sincerity. Don’t be hasty or un kind. but have a frank talk with him.

"Look, Ma!” Belinda Bunny ex claimed one brisk winter’* day us she hurried Into the house and showed her mother a heavy round object, flat on the top and on the bottom. "Isn't this a beautiful picture? Jimmy Rab bit gave it to me." Mrs. Bunny took the gift in her paws and examined closely. "Early June Peas!” she said, read ing tlie word* beneath the picture, which was pasted on the side of tiie present. "It certainly is a lovely pic ture," Mrs. Bunny agreed. i "Now, Ma!” cried Belinda. "You're not going to make me give that pic ture back!” "No!" her mother replied. "Not now, anyhow! We'll set it on the mantel. It’s certainly a handsome ornament for the parlor. And if I can stand to see it during these long win ter months you may keep it. Dear me! What a long time it's going to be before summer comes and Farmer Green’s vegetables are ready to eat!” Belinda Bunny put the picture on the mantlepieCe. And she and her mother stood back and looked at It. "I never saw a picture framed like this one,” Mrs. Bunny remarked. "It can’t be meant to hang on the wall. It must be intended for a mantel or nament. I do believe it's what they call ‘bric-a-brac’.” Miss Belinda soon went out to play. But her mother sat herself down in the parlor and looked and looked and looked at the picture called Early June Peas. She never took her eyes off it until her daughter returned two hours later. "Is dinner ready, ma?” Belinda asked. Mrs. Bunny Jumped up quickly. “I declare," she said, “I forgot to get It—and me so hungry all tills time!” In a little while they sat down to their meal of the tender inner bark of trees. It tasted very good to Be linda. But Mrs. Bunny said she wished they had some green peas. And as soon as she had hurried through her dinner she went hack and seated herself in the parlor again, where she could feast lior eyes on the picture and be both happy and miserable at the same time. When her daughter entered the , room, later, she caught her mother nibbling at the picture. "Now, ma!” cried Belinda. "Don't | you spoil my present!” Mrs. Bunny leaped back guiltily. "I was only trying to see if these weren't late June peas instead of early ones," she told Belinda. "Some how. they don't look uuite like the early kind." “'This present is not meant to t>e eaten, ma,” said Miss Belinda se verely. "I know that," Mrs Bunny agreed with a sigh. "I know that, and it's a pity it's so." Belinda Bunny made her mother promise that she wouldn't touch the picture again. And then she went out of doors once more, because Jimmy Rabbit was coming to play with her. She found him already waiting for her. How docs a person ^et Into & can of peas?" -Mrs. Bunny demanded. "How did you like the peas?” ho asked her. "They’re lovely,” Miss Belinda totd him. "YVe put them on the mantel. Ma is looking at them now. "Y'ou mean the empty can, of coarse,” said Jimmy Kabbit. "But 1 mean, bow did you like the peas that were inside it? Did they taste good?" "My goodness!" Miss Bunny ex claimed. "Ma and I didn’t know there was anything to eat inside that present. I’ll go right into the house and tell her." She hopped through the doorway and told her mother what she had learned. Mrs. Bunny leaped right up on the mantelpieco and seized the can of peas "What are you going to do, ma?" cried her daughter. "I’m going to open this,” said Mrs. Bunny. And she tried to bite Into the tin can. She did succeed in mak ing a slight dent tn It. But that was all. "Call Jimmy Rabbit! Ask him to hurry! ’ cried Mrs. Bunny. lie came quickly In answer to Belinda's summons. “How does a person get into a can of peas'."' Mrs. Bunny demanded. But Jimmy Rabbit couldn't tell her. And Mrs. Runny was frantic. Rut she wouldn’t lot anybody else try to open the can. Though it hadn’t been given to her. she wouldn't let go of it. She kept it with her all winter long and spent hours and hours trying to open it. And all for the lack of a canopener! (Copyright, 1922 ) AUVKRTINKMFNT. »!» KRTISF.MENT. II you are a constipation victim you need Bran that is ALL BRAN Kellogg’s Bran, cooked and krum | bled, is no delicious nnd inviting that! thousands of families uso it constantly to make entieing bakery batches, such as bran muffins, pancakes, raisin bread, etc.; they eat it as a cereal, and many ; sprinkle it on their favorite cereal, its uut-like flavor having a line appeal. Many more thousands of people eat Kellogg’s Bran every duy of their lives because it has permanently re lieved them of constipation and the 1 dangers of dreaded diseases that con stipation leads to. If you are suffer ing with constipation you need ALL BRAN — Kellogg’s Bran — with its permanent corrective qualities.

I put out my hand mechanically and took the yellow envelope which the old man had brought to me from the station agent. "You’re sure you're Mis’ Graham?” he repeated, and I saw that senility sut heavily upon him. “The agent wouldn’t like it if I giv’ it to any body else.1’ " “Yes, yes. I am Mrs. Graham,” I repeated .impatiently. "You said just now that Mrs. Barker pointed me out to you.” “But her eyesight isn't as good as It used to be,” he retorted. “Site might be mistaken, and then I’d be In a pretty pickle.” "But she wasn't mistaken,” I said curtly. "This telegram is mine. Is there anything to pay?" I opened my purse, which, from sheer force of hahit, I had carried out-of-doors with me. "No, ma’am 1 was cornin' this way anyway." “But you'll take tills for your trouble, won’t you?” 1 held out a coin. -/ "I don’t want nutliin’ for an ac commodation,” he protested, but I saw his eyes fixed longingly upon the piece of silver. "It isn’t pay for the service, it's Just a little present I'd like to give you,” I said coaxingly, for I knew from other days of the stubborn pride of these old mountaineers, hut I knew ulso the pitiful lack of money which some among them experience. He hesitated a second longer be fore taking thp coin and pocketing It with a heartfelt ’’thanky.” Then he moved on his way up the mountain road, but I saw him give one or two backward glances as If he were still doubtful of my right to the telegram. A Cryptic Message. I had torn the envelope open while I was getting rid of him. but for a second or two, whicli seemed hours. I could not force myself to read the message. There was but one house from which this message could have come, and that my own, for no one save the members of that househald knew my whereabouts. I have not the nervous fear of tele grams which many women have, for our household is well accustomed to casual aud business messages by wire. But when 1 mu away from Junior, ' especially since the terrible time of his kidnaping, I am never free from j a haunting fear for his safety, and 1 it was that dread which paralyzed i my fingers until I forced them into action. But there was no word of Junior, save the last words, “Everybody well,” In the brief cryptic message signed "Lillian” which stared up at me from the yellow page when I had unfolded it. "Plan you counted on slipped up unexpectedly. Runabout left three this morning. Speedy driver. Bet ter hasten departure." Madge Acts Quickly. For a blank, dazed second or two I wondered if Lillian suddenly had taken leave of her senses, or—If I tiad lost mine, for I could make noth ing of the words. But realization quickly came to me, and 1 caught my breatli in dismay as I interoreted tlie words in which Lillian had clothed her message so that no one but I should know what she meant. Dr. Pettit, of course! • A little cold chill ran over me as I remembered the flaming, almost mustleroUB look in hts eyes when he had declared his Intention of thrash ing Dicky within an inch of his life because of ilia escapade with Claire Foster. Lillian had declared that she and my father would keep him from his expressed determination to go at once in search of my husband, and I had rested securely in the belief that they had l>een able to thwart his proposed Journey, Lillian’s mos sage, however, spelled a very lively danger, not physical, for I believed Dicky to be more than a match for the saturnine physician, hut 1 had a vivid vision of the publicity which would ensue should the two men came together. All my labor and anxiety would be wasted. With the steadying of will and nerves which generally cornea to me in emergencies, I read the telegram over again slowly and carefully. "Runabout left 3 this rhorning. Speedy driver.” Lillian had empha sized our common knowledge that no driver in the country was more of a dare-devil or could get more out of a car than could Herbert Pettit. Bar ring accident, he would have covered the hundred miles to the city long before traftic started, and thus he assured of a clear p;issage through the city and across the ferry.
