The aches and pains of a bad back. Are frequently due to weak kid neys. Doan’s Pills are recommended for weak kidneys. So O’Neill citizens testify. Ask your neighbor! Mrs. A. H. Jacobson. O’Neill, says: “I was troubled with my back and kidneys for a number of years before I learned of Doan’s Pills. At that time I was so bad I could hardly get around and felt miserable and weak all over. Generally when I lay down at night I felt worse. My back and hips pained me and I couldn’t rest properly. When 1 heard of Doan’s Pills I tried them and it only took a couple of boxes from Stout’s Drug Store to give me fine relief. In the past few years I have used Doan’s oc-; casionally when I feel my kidneys' need attention and they never fail to do their work.” 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buflalo, N. Y.

JOHN GAIL walked uneasily the length of the veranda, tneu came to stund before Llnnette, with her bright quick glance and wisiful smile. Lin nette was a wistful, small person alto gether. Perhaps It was her soft, shy appeal, which had caught Gerald Spaulding’s exacting attention. John stopped before the low chair, in which Llnnette sat sewing, and looked down upon her with something like compas sion in his honest gaze. “Friend,” he beg,in, “I want you to tell me the truth, lias Jerry Spauld ing been making love to you? Because If be has—” John went on hastily, ig noring the flush of liidignation which colored her cheek—"i must warn you, Llnnette, that he Is engaged to a girl in his own home city. Very best au thority for the fact—the girl happens to be a particular friend of my mother." There was no bright answering glance this time from Llnnette—no smile. John continued: “I know he has been taking you around a lot, and I know he Is fasci nating to women. Heaven konws why —some mysterious feminine Illusion. And down in Georgia, where he spent last winter, one charmed pretty crea ture broke her heart over him. For got to mention this engagement of long standing while he courted the winter months away. Nearer home there's another fine girl who believe3 herself engaged to him. Llnnette, has Spaulding been protesting love to you?” The small head with Its dark crown of hair was raised slowly. Llnnette looked up from her Work. The simile was there—It always had been a wist ful smile. “Don’t bother yourself about Gerry and me, good friend," she said. “My heart shall not be broken like that of the poor young lady In Georgia. Neither shall I believe myself, to be engaged to him. This girl ,whom your mother knows—what is she like, John?" “A trusting creature, apparently. And, of course, ‘adoring. Gerry would see to that. Linnette, I have been disturbed since he camped on your trail; feared—you—might suffer. You who are so true would see only truth In others. And if Spaulding should cat:e for you above all others—a pos sibility, Llnnette—even then 1 could see no huppine*ts ahead. You forgive me, friend." Smiling he used the fa miliar term between them—“for hav ing to warn you?" Linnette folded the sewing very carefully. Then she arose, and John had to take the gentle dismissal. When fie had gone she made her way back to where the trees grew low. Gerry had sat with her often beneath one bending tree. The low humming of a song reached 'rer, Gerry’s vibrant tone sounding a .’ulue through all. “Llnnette I" he called. “Linnette I” ilis smile of greeting was the same, .us hundclasp as eager. “Gerald,” whispered Linnette, and her face was white in the effort of speaking. “You are betrothed. Mrs. Gail Is acquainted with your fiancee.” Gerry was apparently amused. “Engaged? Not quite, my linnet Josephine and I have been life-long . friends. The engagement may be ex , ected by our fantllios, I’ll admit. But when it happens I’ll come to you with the news. So John Gail is jealous, ike a vengeful woman.” “I came," Gerry went on, “to say good-by for a time. As short, believe .no, a& 1 can make it. Business calls. And if during my absence your friend should bring tidings of my association with the fair Josephine, remember, Linnette, we have been companions, more or less, since childhood. You will give me this rose you have worn for remembrance?" Linnette gave him the rose. Very .slowly, her wistful smile upon him, she fastened the flower to his coat. He recalled the appealing charm of aer an the train bore him later back to the city where were his deepest In terests. Josephine? Of course marriage would be the Inevitable outcome. He had postponed the Inevitable; perhaps as often as feasible. The little girl down In Georgia had been most entrancing. And there was the affair of Lucia, wearing un old ring of his mother's in belief of her boud to him. But Llnnette with her shy en chuntment would be hard to forget. He had not considered that Josephine and her family would make prepara tion for the day he had so faithlessly planned. A wedding so near must be gone through with; unless Gerald de cided to go back to the country town where Llnnette lived. There was his promise to tell her, and there was the possibility .that in her fondness for him she might yield to the plan of an elopement, providing his fondness for her proved as sincere as he now felt it to be. She was beneath the same ben ding tree where they had parted. He would try her affection abruptly, So Gi raid told the news. "I promised to tell you, Llnnette,” he said. “I am to be married.” She did not answer. Her dear face wore Its old wistful, sweet charm, sweeter in some Indefinable way. John oull came across the lawn toward them. “Llnnette has told you the news, Spaulding?" John asked. “We are mar ried ; today begins our honeymoon tour.” \ NEW BOOK EXCHANGE.
