Lillian Brings Home a Mysterious
Girl
‘Auntie Madge! Isn't It lime to get
up?"
Marion's voice, soft, apologetic, but
vibrant with eagerness, wakened me.
It was the morning following my en
counter with tho tram]) who had
bean annoying Mother Graham. Sur
prised at my failure to awaken, I
glanced at my wrist watch before an
swering. Then I saw, with amused
irritation, that it was but little past
t> o'clock.
"Why, it's the middle of the night,
yet, thild." I said. Then I caught a
quirk, dismayed catching of her
breath and my conscience registered
a protest. So, hastily scrambling out
of bed, I majje prompt amends for
my cautious objection,
"Oh! I understand now," I said
with mendacious enthusiasm. "This
is the day We are to go in to meet
your mother isn't it? 1 don't wonder
at your waking me up. And how nice
and warm you have the room. When
did you get up pray—at midnight?"
A delighted smile chased the shad
ows from her mignonne face and her
voice fairly caroled her joyful antici
pation!
Marion's Kntliiisiasiii
"Oh, no,” she laughed. "Not as had
as that. Liut I did get up an hour
ago and shut down the window and
switch on the heat. Then I crawled
hack into bed and waited until the
room got. warm. You know, mother
never lets me dress while the room
is too cold."
I nodded a, comprehending assent,
for well I knew the tender care with
which Lillian surrounds her young
daughter.
"I'm afraid I wakened you too
early," Marion said depreeatingly.
"But after I had finished dressing I
began to wonder if perhaps we ought
not to take an earlier train into the
city, so that if there was any delay
we wouldn't run any risk of missing
mother." *
I caught back a smile, for I had
arranged our schedule to allow for
delays probable and improbable. I
knew, however, that Marion's anxi
ety to be on time was not caused by
ordinary childish eagerness to get
started upon a promised outing. It
had its roots in her beautiful and
unusual devotion to her mother, and
I resolved to humor ljer as far as I
could.
"I think that's a splendid scheme,
Marion,” I said, smiling at her eager
face. "But we'll have to steal down
very quietly and get our own break
fast if Katie isn’t down yet. Then
we can come back and you can dress j
.Tunior while I attend to Grandma
Graham."
She rushed over to me and gave i
me a joyous hug.
"Oh-h, Auntie Madge, there never,
was an aur\tie like you in the whole
wide world," she cooed. "Will you
think I'm terrible if t hope Katie
oversleeps this morning? I'm Just
wild to cook In Auntie Durkee's
kitchen. It's so prettj—just as ydu'd
Imagine a doll's kitchen would look."
“We’ll Look Breakfast
I was not. surprised at heg shrewd
characterization. Kverything about
" little Mrs. Durkee's fastidious house
keeping has the elusive elfin quality
whirh she had mentioned., Marlon In
herits her mother's accuracy of In
sight and observation, and I smiled
indulgently at her as I returned her
caress.
"I can't find words to tell you how
'terrible' you are," I said. "But If

A tying Sleep.
When the fairy wave^ her magic
wand everybody In the whole palace
suddenly stopped as though froxen,
Just as they were, except the king
end queen. They all fell Into a
magic deep.
The princess' llttls dog stopped
with his mouth open In the middle
of a hark. A young page who wag
playing a gultnr fell asleep with his
fingers about to strike one of the
strings. A lady In waiting who was
mending a gown fell asleep with her
peedltf lifted In the air. Rven the
horses in the royal stable and the
thickens In the royal barnyard fell
asleep too.
(00 "See," said the good fairy, "I have
put every one asleep for 100 years s->
they will tie here to serve the princess
when she wakes tip."

you ran restrain your enthusiasm
until I get dressed we'll cook break
fast, even if Katie d sen’t oversleep."
"I'll lie as quiet as a mouse," she
promised, instantly releasing me.
"Just tpll rue when you want me to
hook you up."
With scrupulous fidelity to her
promise, she did not speak again un
til, fully dressed, with aprons tied
over our gowns, we descended to the
kitchen. With Incredible hid; con
sidering Katie's usual hour of rising,
we succeeded lit getting our break
fast/ eating It and clearing away,
with no Interruption from my devot
ed hut fussv little maid.
Then we hurried upstairs, to find
Junior and his grandmother just
rousing from sleep, l helped Mother
Graham to dress, while Marlon put
Junior into his attire for the day.
By that, lima both Mrs. Durkee and
Katie had appeared. I placed Junior
in Katie’s charge and secured a
promise from my hostess to keep a
quiet watch upon Mother Graham.
Then with clear consciences, we
hurried t<> the station and secured
the train which Marlon counted on
to the city.
As I expected, we had no delay,
and. consequently, had to wait hours
for Lillian's train. But Marion's joy
at being at the station where her
mother would arrive compensated me
for the tedious wait.
When, finally, the train rolled in
and Lillian alighted, there was so en
thusiastic a reunion between mother
and daughter that for a minute I did
not realize that Lillian was not a
lone. Then I observed that rlose de
hind her. with one hatjd clutching
her dress, as If frightened at the
crowd, \\\ys a. girl of. perhaps 20,
with the oddhst expression of eyes
and face I ever had seen.

Prevent tooth decay *
below the gum-line
As the soil nourishes the tree roots, the gums nour
ish the teeth. And as the tree decays if you bare
the roots, so do the teeth decay when gum shrink
age starts in.
This condition—one of the first stages of Pyorrhea
—is very common and something that ordinary
tooth pastes are powerless to prevent. If not
checked promptly it will lead to loss of teeth and
serious organic diseases.
If used in time and used consistently twice daily,
Forhan's will prevent Pyorrhea or check its prog

Distressed: You would be most
fooolish to give up this man because
he won't join a church. A person's
religion is revealed in his conduct
and not by his membership in a
church. You might marry some good
church member ami i>o very unhappy.
If this man treats Ills fellow man
squarely ami respect* the power
which created and controls this great
universe, then he has Indeed a great
and satisfying relig.on and you need
have nothing to fear from him.
It is very narrowminded to think
a person should belong to a church.
I do believe that people who wish for
the right should identify themselves
with a group having the same desires
and ends. They get better results lhat
way. But we must grant that, after
all. it is the life that counts. Don’t
make this man hate your church be
cause of your petty insistence that
he join. MARTHA ALLEN.
Mays Yourself Worthy.
Dear Miss Allen: Early this fall I
fell in love with a girl Whom I know
tjiany others love. I never heard her
quarrel. She is always singing and
has a smile for everybody, even a
tramp or an animal. I went with her
several months, hut drank quite fre
quently, although she asked me In a
nice way to stop. At last she started
going with an out-of-town fellow.
Then I muw my mistake, hut too late.
1 can’t bear to see her with any one
else, anil especially w.th that fellow.
He is a gentleman by all moans, and
she always respects a fellow who Is
mannerly. I am aft aid she is keeping
steady company with him. I Meuse tell
me some way that I can try to get
her Iwk. If 1 were only as good as
she! I'm had. She docs not speak
to me now. I would give anythin?
to be on friendly term® with her, and
so please help me. The old saying.
"You never miss the water until the
well runs dry." JIGGS B.
Sinee you lost the girl because of
your drinking, your only hope of win
ining her hack is by overcoming the
habit and proving yourself a man
worthy of her. After several months
or a year of good behavior, approach
the girl again, and say that you want
her to know that you have overcome
your had habits and that you are
ashamed you did not come to your
senses before you lost her friendship.
Frenehy: The degree of regard
and not the length of time it has ex
isted should govern such matters.
Wondering: The hoy and not my
self will have to tell you If he loves
