"You'vo naked Captain Wallace here! Darbara, I tViluk It's simply imply fiendish of you." Darbara turned her head and bit tho end of her penholder nervously to gain tlmo. Up from the nines of pillows In tho hammock had risen a towselcd head and shocked, Indignant face. "He'll only stay over tho weok-end, dcur, anil Duffy likes him. Of course I couldn't expect you wouldn't want mo to explain things to Duffy, would you?" "I don't caro who you oxplaln things to," retorted her sister haughtily, des peratcly. "You may tell everybody In the place, but I will not stay here and meet Jack Wnllaco for any considera tion." "You can't go to tho city, and stay at a hotel, dear, ann every ono 's out of town, you know, anyhow. You needn't see him alone. I'll get Lilian to bo nice to him." "That old widow. Ho wouldn't look nt her twico. Why, everybody knows she's thirty if she'B a day." "Tottering in her dotago on tho brink of her grave," laughed Darbara. "Walt till you see Jack when sho lifts thoso long lashes at him, and asks what his ambition In life It Sho never hns to talk to men. Sho Just drags out the pet secrets of their hearts, and they adore hor. Don't you worry a bit, Mona. He shan't bother you. You can stay up in your room if you liko and I'll Bay you havo a headache." Mona tumbled out of tho hammock, nnd bunched up her mass of russet curls into a protesting topnot. Two or threo loose rings fell about hor face. She looked like an excited, scrappy kiddle, in her pink middy blouso and short linen skirt. ' "If you think I'm going to bo made a prisoner to accommodate Lillian Mor ris nnd Captain Wallace, Dab, you're very much mistaken. Didn't mamma tell j on why she Bent mo out hero for t month?" "She said you wero ailing," sntd Dar bara tactfully. Mona mulled for tho first tlmo. "Do I look it? Have I acted liko an Invalid sfneo I camo? Now, listen, Dab, tho only earthly reason why mam ma iimdo mo como here waB to get mo out of Captain Wallace's way. I hope you'll" respect my confidence." "Mona, dear!" reproachfully. "What else? WaB he really serious? Did bo -know how old you are?" "I suppose you're trying to make me uncomfortable, Dab, but you can't. I told him the very first night I'd be eighteen in October." "Did ho propose 7" "Ho did. That same night He Bald ho'd never believed in love before, real love, I mean, Dab, and he Bald he hoped I'd always remember the hour ib he did. And he safd he'd never met . woman in all his lite before who teemed to understand him." "What else?" "Wasn't that enough?" with wide eyes of surprise. "I told him I simply ""souldn't marry him for a year at least, out I'd give him a chance." "Mona Whltmoro, you didn't Bay that?" "Well, It only seemed fair, he was bo sut up. Dab."' Mrs. Hammersley leaned back her pretty head and broke Into a peal of merriment "You silly kiddle. Don't you know that Jack Wallace has said exactly the same thing to every like debu tanto for ten years. No wonder mam ma sent you to me, If you took Jack terlouBly." "I didn't. I only gave htm a chance." "So kind of you. Did he live up to It?" Defore Mona could answer, the tele phone bell rang In the hall and Bar bara answered It It was Captain Wallace. Her face grew grave as she llstoned. Ho was pleading an excuse for tho week-end trfp, and In the midst of his business excuse?. Darbara cut in. "Wo can't posBlbfy let you go, Jack. Lenore is coming down. Yes, you know her of course, and we'll, be one short anyway, as my llttlo sister is return ing to mamma'B. What? Yes, Mona. Yes, it was rather sudden, but sho felt homesick, and Is going today. Walt JUBt a moment." She turned her head, but Mona had fled down the garden walk. ' "It was on account of Mona, you say, Jack, that you were not coming? I don't undestand." Her tonojvas Just a wee bit haughty, and gave warning ovor the wire to the man at .the other end. Even though Mona had perhaps worn her heart for a shoulder decoration In girlish fash ion, Mrs. Hammersley was averse to having such a thing discussed, Every debutante caught her first whiff of the Bociety whirl from Jack Wallaco if ho happened to bo in town from one of globe trotting trips. Most of them had been wise enough to accept a few lessons In flirting, und drift away heart-wholo. It Boomed Mona, fresh from California ranch life, had taken the captain at his faco valuo, and be lieved in him. Point blank over tho wire camo tho captain's fire. "Do you thlnk she really cares?" "I have not noticed any signs of pin ing, Jack," with a little laugh of kimuaement And face down In the fwann scented grasB at tho end of tho pergola lay Mona sobbing. "I think that you nnd Lenoro will bo left quite freo and happy." Tho ejaculation from tho captain was smothered but audible. He added that no would bo out on tho 5:45 train. "Of course, dear, If you renily teel you want to go to mnmma, why go," Darbara Bald placidly, after she had dutifully helped Mona to pack her suit cases. "I will send llrlggs in with you, and if you don't find mamma home, go right through to Lakowood, and take Drlggs with you. I'm so sor ry you havo to go." "Yes, you are!" retorted Mona, with a swift flash of sisterly resentment "You know I detest Lenoro Morris, and I won't meet Jack Wallaco." "Powder your nose, dear. It's quite shiny from emotion," tensed Darbara "You simply must stop thlB fireworks exhibition, Monn. It's bo conspicuous, honey. What has Jack dono to desorve it?" "Well, If you must know" Mona watched Drlggs gathering up her lug gage. Tho runabout was waiting. "I've found him out. Ho has been tacitly engaged to abotftt 20 different girls. I don't think 1'vo spoken nbout him to any girl In your set who hasn't told mo Jnck Wallace mndo lovo hotter than any man sho ever met." "Dut, dear, that doesn't Imply they wero all engaged to him." Mona's wldo hazel eyes blazed with Indlgnntlon. "I don't supposo It does down hero In your horrid old New York. Out west when a man kisses a girl and tells her he loves her best In all tho world, sho knows he's straight nnd means It, or sho wouldn't permit him to do It. That'B why I don't liko your Captain Wnllaco, Dab." "Havo you told him all this?" "I wroto to him yesterday, and I told him I fully realized what a little donkey I had mado of myself. Yes, I explained It nil, fully. I don't think ho enn misunderstand." Dnrbnra smiled, and kissed tho flush ed, lovely face. Secretly she felt proud of her. Sho know Just how keen tho thrust had been to the captain. "Don't miss your train, dear, at 0:02," she said. The runabout drew up on tho shady Bide of tho little stono station. Mona went Into tho waiting room. Sho was early. It seemed almost deserted, and then suddenly sho saw Jack Wallaco. Ho had been waiting. Sho saw that at a glance. Probably It waB for Le nore, she decided, nnd prepared to cut him. Dut the captain understood mil itary tictlcs. Straight towarda hor he came, and ho was not smiling. "You must "not take that train, Mona." Tho note of authority struck Mona oddly. He gavo her no chance to nrgue or protest. Drlggs, came to wards them. . "Take Mlsa Whltmore's luggago back," he said. "Sho has changed her mind about taking this train." "You do nothing of tho sort, Drlggs.' Mona found her voice. "Buy tho tick ets." "Drlggs, go out and talk to tho chauffeur for a moment" Dland, middle-aged Drlggs beamed on the cap tain, and rotired. "Now, dear," he turned and took Mona's hands In his, "I have just'eome from your mother." "I suppose you explained everything jatlsfactory." Mona's tone was still peppery. "You need not have troubled. I told her, and Darbara, too, and took all of the blame for my mistake." - ' "What mistake?" Mona was silent. Ho knew well enough what she meant that she had loved him with the first, sweet, be lieving lovo of a girl untaught In social ways or wiles, and because he had sent her flowers, spoken tenderly to her, singled her out from tho others for weeks, sho had given him tho samo trust as If .he had been a westerner Instead of a New York squire of dames. "What do you mean?" he persisted. "I mean that I mistook a carpet knight for a real man," sho flung back cruelly. "Every girl I have met hat told me that Jack Wallace was a debu tante's first discipline. I didn't know that kind of a game." "If you were anywhere but a rail way station, I would take you In my arms and crush you until you took that -back," said Wallace between bis teeth. "I have come directly from your moth er with her permission to Bay this to you. Will you be my wife, Mona?" "I think my train Is about due," said Mona, calmly. "I shall, lift you and carry you out to that car If you do not come will ingly. You put this ring on your An ger, and look me In the eyes and say, Jack, I love you.' " "No, you don't," laughed Mona. "I did that before. I told you that when you kissed me. I don't go back on my word. I wonder If Drlggs bought the tlckctB." Wallace glanced about Thero wero five or six people waiting out on the platform. The ticket seller was busy at tho telegraph desk. Tho sldo door of tho station stood open, and Just be yond was the runabout Defore Miss Whitroore realized bis Intention, he had picked her up easily, and carried hor straight out to the car. Iir it sat Drlggs, deaf, dumb, and blind to all proceedings and tho chauffeur was talking to the expressman. "Change seats, Drlggs," ordered tho captain briefly. "Your mistress is a little faint I will sit with her. Call Leroux." He placed Mona on tho scat, and stopped In besldo her. Very dellbatoly ho took -her hand and d.rew off tho glove. As tho car turned the corner towarda home he slipped on tho nar row ring with Its diamond catching tho Bparklo of the sunset. Mona Bat atlll, her face a triflo white. "Toko back that carpet-knight remark,"-ho said. "Will you be my wlfo, Mona?" "I suppose. I shall havo to," said Mona, "if you'ro going to bo bo so conspicuous."

OLD POKE BONNETS REVIVED Made Into Things of Beauty by the Clever Hands of the Up-to Date Milliner. Here and thero ono sees an alluring poko bonnet brought to life by tho mil' liner who 1b clever enough to know that tho old fashions aro being re vlvod, and If women wish to look like old prints they must have hats and mantles to go with tho gowns. The revival of the poko bonnet hai met with approval because in its mod era shapo it is exceedingly becoming and does not clash with the ideas ol present millinery. It is not a scoop; it merely has a rounded brim in front to shade tho eyes, and 1b turned ui with a flap In tho back. There is a chin band of black velvet or colored satin ribbon and a bunch of flowers' over one ear. The milliners make these old-time flowered mantles to go with tho hat, and the samo color scheme Is sup posed to be carried out In the two. If a woman Is going to attempt trim mind Buch a bat and making such a wrap nt homo, it Ib. wlso for her to remember this. Picturesque Note.

THAT INFANTS aro peculiarly susceptible to opium and ita various preparations, all of which aro narcotic, is well known. Even In the smallest doses, if continued, these opiates cause changes in the func tions and growth of tho colls .which aro likely to becomo permanent, causing imbecility, mental perversion, a craving for alcohol or narootics in later life. Nervous diseases, such as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staying powers are a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet In their infancy. Tho rule among physicians is that children should never receive opiates in tho smallest doses for moro than a day at a time, and only then if unavoidable. .. The administration of Anodynes, Drops. Cordials, Soothing Syrups and other narcotics to children by any hut a physician cannot bo too strongly decried, and the druggist should not bo a party to it. Children who are ill need tho attention of a physician, and it is nothing leu than a crime to doao them willfullv with narcotics. Custorla contains no narcotics if filirnaturo of Chas. U.
