| £ KERRY SQUARE | A NEIGHBOURLY NOVEL by CHUCK M. RICKWWD lie set three baskets of flow jis, five hampers of fruit, and a package of books and magazines out of the way, so that he and Sally could sit down, lie hadn’t taken the trouble to scan the ac oomanying cards; he knew well enough which of hi parishers were likely to have demonstrated their regret at parting and their good wishes for the voyage in this marked way. That largest banket with the biggest bow of ribbon was sure to be from Miss Alder, and the hint of a frown between his handsome eyebrows suggested her clergyman’s dis taste. To the credit, of Doctor Chase he didn’t much enjoy the conspicuous worship of women, bnt there seemed no way to avoid it wholly. At 42 he was ■till so young, so good looking, and witiial so unquestionably able, that his popularity was a thing which followed as the dust the chariot. “Just throw a kiss at the places we’ve been together,’’ commanded Hally, “as you pass by And when you coine to Nice—’’ “When I come to Nice,” _.1 « .1. . .1 m r *■ i j/u/hijd' u nriiujiri uiiasr, I ll write you such a letter as you've never had yet. Sally, T wouldn’t go without you, if—’’ "If I didn’t make you. Yes, I know that. Well, I atn mak ing you because you need to get away, not only from the church and its Miss Adlers and Mrs. Brahants and the other devotees, but from nie, myself." He smiled. "I know you think no. and probably you’re right. You usually are. The converse of that statement must be equally true—or more so. And you’re a trump about it. But I’ll be so eager to get back to von I’ll probably jump off the ship and swim out to meet you, Schuy," she promised him. Except for a long minute Which they spent in each other’s arms, that was all the real leave taking they could indulge in. Al most at once the stateroom was besieged by the hearers of more flowers, more fruit, more sheaves of magazines. A great bundle of letters and telegrams was brought to Doctor Chase. A group of people came down to see the quarters of the three j clergymen who were to occupy the commodious stateroom to gether. The other two clergy men summonded Schuyler Chase back to the deck to receive the bails and farewells of a large delegation of men from his church—much larger than those from their own churches, though they were well known, too. Al together — "It’s enough to spoil him." •aid one friend to another, watching the scene. He was not a devotee—his head was too level.

"What shall we do without him so many months!" sighed one Inrge woman. elegantly turned out and obviously senti mental, Mrs, Sehuvler Chase showed her a smiling face. "Extremely well.

His face is more beautiful than ever, through his weariness. More saint like—1 could have wept to look at him last Sunday, „wheu lie said goodbye to us. 1 felt at first 1 couldn’t eome down to see him off, then I thought—we must be with him to the last— make him feel lie’s taking us with him.” “Heaven forbid!” thought Sally Chase. Mrs. Brabant was one of her pet aversions, any way; and just now she seemed rather more absurd than usual. “My idea is to have him feel lie isn’t taking us with him.” Schuyler Chase’s wife couldn't resist sounding this note again. “Every man, particularly every minister, needs to get away from the thought of his parish for a while. Never mind”—she was aware of Mrs. Brabant's grow ing indignation—■ “lie’ll he as delighted to eome baek as he is to go.” “You eight to be going with him, Mrs. Chase,” put in an other woman, a tall, thin person with a pointed nose, who had been listening with unmixed pleasure to Mrs. Brabant’s little discomfiture at the hands of the minister’s wife. “Of eourse you would he. if it weren’t for the dear children.” “I’m sure T shouldn’t, really. Mrs. ( rosin',” declared Sally. “ I believe so thoroughly in sending husbands off on vacations, as well as ministers.” They were used to their min ister’s wife, and knew her to he kind "as well as frank. Slip was the happy possessor of so much personal charm that she seldom really offended. They watched her now, with peculiar interest mixed with envy. It must he very wonderful, thought these admiring ones, to be the wife of such a husband; no wonder she could be gay. Though how fciie could be gay today was difficult to see. Wasn’t she los ing—him ? After all. and in spite of the too tealous ones, it was a pleas ant S'-ene. Tall Schuyler Chase, slender and elegant in clothes unclerical, his heavy chestnut ha ir smooth and gleaming under the May sunlight, his beautifully cut lips parting over a flash of of white teeth as lie sent to one and another his quick witted re plies and retorts, was a figure to command attention. Only his wife was likely to note the slight twitch in the upper lip, the tiny involuntary jerk of t lie* comely, head which to her betrayed her husband's tension. He was always taut umler any publicity—how well she knew that! And he was tired from the long strain of the year’s work tired and thin, and of late nearly sleepless. It. was time he got away. Preaching to such audiences as he commanded meant that he went into his pulpit strung to the highest pitch. Though his pulpit manner was so poised and na tural that he seemed to he ah solutely at his ease. Sally knew it to he the result of the sternest self control. And when he chose to exercise that peculiar atti.ic tion of his. which fairly com pelled many of his hearers to his point of view by its own all hut hvpnotie power, he did it. always at a cost. There Was such pro digal expense of nerve and sinew that afterward—an hour after ward when she saw him at home, he was limp and pallid, and the touch of his hand was eoldlv damn. All the spring he had been showing what seemed to her a more than normal ex haustion after each public ap pearance Yea, it was time he got awnv, even from her. upon whom he depended for help in restor ing his halanee when it had been upset in a way no member of his great congregations evn dream ed of.

Yes, Sally was glad to see him go, though when the moment of parting came she felt the wrench poignantly, as she had known she would. People crowding round left her the chance only for the brief clasp and kiss per mitted to good taste even in ship board farewells, but she felt, that Schuyler bated leaving her, and that was all she needed to be sure of. Their eyes clung for a moment as they drew apart, and Schuyler murmured: “God keep you. dear.” She nodded, smil ing her most splendid smile. Then she was rushed off the ship by a friendly pillar of the church who especially admired Mrs. Schuyler Chase,'and who took her in charge with a distinct thrill of pleasure in his mature breast. From the pier she waved back at Schuyler until bis face was lost in the dimming blue of distance, then turned with Mr. Pierpont and hurried hack to her car, into which he put her in his most gallant manner. “Yes, I suppose the country is the best place for you and the children,’’ he said, leaning in at the window of her motor, his striking iron gray head bare in the May sunshine. “But we shall miss you from the Manse. Where did you say you were go going Cherry Hills? Cherry trees there, so some long established family, to give it the name?” “My mother’s family, Mr. Pierpont. My aunt—Mother’s sister—left the old place to me; I used to visit, there with the greatst joy when I was a girl.” “You still look like one, Mrs. Chase.” His admiring gaze rested upon Sally’s fair colour ing and the exquisite texture of her skin. “You’ll merely be the oldest of your children as they romp about tbe country. I hope you have saddle horses there?” “I shall find some. I mean to spend much time with the chil dren, ns you suggest. Life in the Manse doesn’t leave me many hours for them, and they’re growing so fast.” “Forget all the organizations and the complications of the city^ parish,” he advised. “They’re harder on the minister’s family than most people guess. You’ve been an ideal wife for your gen ius of a husband—you’ve earned a vacation, too. See that you take it, if you want us who are devoted to you both to be satisfied.” Sally’s eyes responded to this pleasant little speech, and she gave back the friendly pressure of the hand offered her—that of a magnate in worldly affairs who found much time to give to the church as well. “When you come motoring through Cherry Hills with Mrs. Pierpont this summer, be sure to look us up. Or are you going abroad?” “My wife and daughters prob ably will, as usual, Not I—I can’t get my rest that way. I’ll be glad to hunt up Cherry Hills and pay you a call. The name sounds enticing.” “It’s really quite lovely there. We’ll expect you.” She looked after his erect, massive figure as he turned away, hat still in his hand, and thought, gleefully how good it was going to be to escape for a time from alt these familiar con tacts, full of kindness though they were. Not to have to he thoughtful of consequences over every smallest word or deed; not to have to consider each step she took, to give her time when she had none to spare, her smiles when she felt like frowning, her advice when she knew she needed it more than those who came to confide in her. She would be off for the country as fast as she eould finish the pack ing and go! She had not meant to leave till tomorrow she would speed things up and get away tonight. Plenty of time— the ship had sailed at 10 o'clock in the morning. With Selmvler gone the dignified dark walls of the Manse would he gloomy enough; she would forsake them before the sunset. It took all her executive abil correct." "That ain’t the idea. ! want It rt in the way I gave It to you, |( have to pay (or it. How much will I have to pay to get it put in the way I gave It to von?"

She telephoned Norah O’Grady firs' of all, and though she got back a somewhat flurried: “I’ll be doin’ the best I can, Mrs. Chase, an’ I’ll be ready some ways,’ she turned away with a sense of being already almost at her goal. “Just have the beds made, and some sandwiches and milk,’’ she had directed, and. had smiled to realize that she was already com fortably letting down in her re quirements.

Prescription He Wrote in 1892 is the World’s Most Popular Laxative When Dr. Caldwell started to prnc tlce medicine, back in 1873, the needs for a laxative were not as great ns they are today. People lived normal, quiet lives, ate plain, wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh air and sun shine. Put even that early there were drastic physics and pudges for the re lief of constipation which Dr. Caldwell did not believe were good for human beings to put Into their system. So he wrote a prescription for a laxative to be used by his patients. The prescription for constipation that he used early in his practice, and which he put in drug stores In 18iK! under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep-In, Is a liquid vegetable remedy. Intended for women, children and elderly people, and they need Just such a mild, safe, gentle bowel stimulant ns Syrup Pepsin.
