Madge Leads Mother Graham to the Rendezvous. At my sudden halting, Mother Gra hum turned and caught my sleeve. "What Is It, Margaret?1' she quav ei od, and the terror in her eyes told me how great was the strain upon her ner\es of this expedition upon which we were setting out. "Nothing, nothing at all mother," 1 returned, thankful that I could apeak the literal truth, for, indeed, it was nothing material which had caused that abrupt start of mine Fortunately-, rny common sense was functioning sufficiently to tell ms that the permeating scent of wild roses wet with dew, which suddenly seemed to envelop me, had caused rue to halt in bewilderment, was but a. figment of my fancy. But not to my mother-in-law could I explain such a fancy, especially when 1 knew only too well in what trick of subconscious memory it had originated. It had been years since Fate, on a wonderful moonlit June night, had sent me along this pipe line with Hugh Grantland upon a wartime errand. June and it was now almost winter! Yet though the crisp air persisted that elusive fragrance, and In my cars were Hugh Grant kand's well remembered tones mur •^muring, “This was my mother s fav orite flower." I lived over again in a second's lime the unrest which the knowledge gained In that liouf brought me—the knowledge that Hugh Grantland cared for me, deeply, sincerely-, hope lesely. Then, with an effort that left me breathless for an instant, I locked the memories In the same compart ment of my brain which housed inv plans for the solving of Hugh Grant land's disappearance, and put a sup porting hand under my mother-in law's trembling arm. "You must be terribly upset.” I said chtdingly, "to think something is wrong because I stop to look at. a squirrel. Don’t you see him, right over there on that branch? Isn’t he cunning?” T sent a thought wave of gratitude to the little woods creature which had appeared so opportunely upon the branch that I had Indicated, and Mother Graham gave a. heartfelt sigh of relief, which, however, she translated into ungracious speech. "I should think that you’d have something else on your mind besides looking at every animal that, runs among those trees.” shs declared caustically, and I accepted the rebuke meekly-, walking by her side In docile attention to her further remarks which ran the gamut of her usual tirades until, apparently from sheer lack of vocal strength, she let her voice run down. But her mind had been diverted for a little from the mysterious errand upon which we l«.r« bent—something for which I *"TTas truly thankful and which en abled me to bear her strictures with equanimity. AA’e were almost at the point where we were to leave the pipeline for the path which wound through the wood land to the little footbridge back of the Durkee home, when she next spoke, in a far different tone than the irritable one she had used but a. minute or two before. "Margaret, do you know that old fallen oak tree, that lies but a few yards tills side of, the bridge" "Yes. mother, dear," I prompted reassuringly as she halted. "That is—Is—where—I—am to stop," she went on falteringly. "Do you suppose you could go around another way froni me and stand very pear it without anybody seeing you? Nobody—nobody will expect to see cither of us coming from this way. •They—they will bo looking to see me pome across ths footbridge. Now l knew every Inch of the wood land, for It had been my favorite rafuge from the petty cares of every day life when we lived In the house nevt door to the Durrkea home. My voice waa filled with confidence, Ikherefore, as I answered her. "I am surs,I can, mother. I know fc path to the left here, which la ao masked with vines I ain stirs no one else has ever found it. Just stand hers a few seconds so that I may get a good start, then walk along the regular path. I shall ^be only a few feet from you at any step of the way. If you're frightened, don't hes itate to call out." "I shan’t be frightened," she re lorted with a pretense of courage that must have cost her dearly. »nd then I stole away down a side path. Slipped beneath the masking vines which I remembered, and Into the hidden side path, from which 1 could see plainly the course which Mother Graham must take., I reached the spot I had mentioned to Mother Graham, hut found my boast of no one else being acquainted with ths hidden path to be a false • ne. Standing done to the evergreen f barrier, with his eys searching that part of the woodland nearest the fallen tree, was Lee Chow. - COLOR CUT-OUTS-\ u w Home Again. “Oh, thank you kind hunter," cried little Red Riding hood, as the hunter who had killed the wicked wolf came in the door. “f heard you scream and looked in the window. It's lucky I came juat when 1 did," said the hunter. "Now I'll take you home, so you’ll be sure to get back safely." He shouldered hlg brown gun, which went with his brown leather suit and cap, and set off home with little Redinghood. How glad sh was to be back home again! You can be very sure she never picked flowers in the wood* again, and if she’d meet ». w’olf, no matter how fine he looked and how polite be seamed, she'd get away from him as fast as ever she could. I Watch for the lovely princess of "The Sleeping Beauty." She'll be the first Cut-Out for next week). Births. A son was born to Mr. snd Mrs. Leonard Galette at Nicholas Senn hospital January 12.

A THREE DAYS' j Chronic coughs ami persistent cotda lead to serious lung trouble. You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that ia pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a new medical discovery with twofold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and kills the aerm. / • Of all Known drugs, creosote is rec ognised by the medical fraternity a* the greatest healing agency for the treat ment of chronic coughs and colds and other forms of throat and lung troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the inflamed mem branes and slop the irritation and in flammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and destroys the germs that lead to consumption. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac tory in the treatment of chronic coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, catarrhal bronchitis and other forms of throat and lung diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or the flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold, no matter of how long stand ing, is not relieved after taking accord ing to directions. Aak your druggist. Creomulsion Co., Atlanta, Ga. His Wife Ran Away. Dear Miss Allen: I am a married man with two daughters, 6 and 8. A year ago my wife ran away with an other man, but after living with him one month returned to us. The chil dren had missed her terribly, and so had I, and I found It very hard to get along in her absence, although her mother stayed with us and took care of the children. My wife was very sorry for what she did and said she could see what a mistake it was and that after she knew tho other man better she realized she loved me. Of course I can never feel the same toward her. but I have always loved her and I presume I will as long as I live regardless of what she does. She Is very pretty and fascinating and 1 am not the only man to admire her by any means. The neighbors are making it very hard for us because they will not forget what happened. Tbs trouble was ,hat the man In the case Was a neighbor and so the whole thing got out and was talked over and magnified by every one. The man has also returned to his wife and people seem to forget his part in the case, but they don't speak to my wife and when she Is on the street they are talking about her. The children also have to suffer because other children in the neighborhood aren’t allowed to play with them. I hate to be a quitter more than anything in the world, and I would like., to stick it out to show the neighbors that they have not driven us out, but sometimes I wonder if it is worth while. I have a good position and would hate to give it up, but if necessary X will make a new- start somewhere so that my wife will not have to suffer the rest of her life for a mistake which she greatly regrets. It also seems very unfair to make the children suf fer too. Before this happened I thought the world had grown more Christian and people wouldn't act so unkind, but now I know better. What would you advise me to do'.’ I hate more than any one know* to throw up my good position, but if you think test. I will do it. DAD^ So-called Christian people are very nn-Chrlstttm in their conduct In such cases as yours. It probably would be made easier if you moved to an other neighborhood. Of course, the story nv»y follow you, but if you live quietly, paying attention to only your own affairs, and making no advances, you probably tvill be left alone. There, is no chance of your present neigh bors ever being more charitable to wards you, because people just aren't that way.' If you do move, and the situation is not relieved, I suppose the only thing left ,10 do is to go to another town. I admire your stand. L. T.: Watch your motives. Be sure you are not accepting love just because it flatters your vanity and offers pleasant attentions. It’s far better not to wed than to marry unwisely. There should be but one motive for marriage—the deep, sincere mutual affection we call love. This unselfish affection will guarantee the happiness of your marriage. Don’t be fooled into accepting less than true love. You’ll know the true because it’s protective and kind. All else Is fleeting, destructive, utterly self-seeking. AVait for true love—it's worth while. • -■■■■. ■■ ■ — ■- — Knights Give Dinner. A dinner was given at Hotel Co nant Thursday by the Knights of Columbus, fourth degree. Tbe honor guest was John F.
