''Who better than your hubby?"
and Jack had already totted aido

Hat taking Ui a pamphlet of in

!ry well, dear," said J'll com.
I'lacemly, "You tnitfht jutt at

"They'll pay attention to thi

,lil went on about lier lit tie lioue
I'olil diitiet and gave no more heed
, to Jack' puttering about the win
dows. It vtat dinner time before he .
satisfied with .his work. He had
been uilairt and down a -score or
more timet, and 'he did 'ook ex
hausted. "You're worn out. darlinit." and
.Jill patted hit face tenderly. "Wash
your little bandies and have dinner.
1 hen we II rush for the cltiY -
. jack was hungry as an income
tax collector.
- He dawdled over his 'dessert,
however, until Jill had to prod him
to haste.
"Come, dearest, and help me wash
the di.hc. We'll be late and I
don't want to mis the first dance."
t And late they were.
"It seems that my stuJs are
Strong enough to walk alone,"
i growled Jack, as lie struggled with
h!s dress thirt. "They travel about
end each in a different direction 1"
At least he was ready, with Jill
urging speed.
- , .They hurried front the house, and
after a short walk were at the club
exactly in time for the third dance.
-.. "A jolly evening, ' wasn't it,
sweetheart?" Jack asked, happily,
as they put on their wraps for home,
several hours later.
"That's because you and I danced
-over half the numbers with each
other," chirped the pretty little newly-wed.
"And goodness, how the
time has flown!" '
"Why so it his It's nearly one
o'clock!" and Jack held her arm
tenderly. - "Dancing on Sunday
they'll have the local police after
us."
"Oh, they're asleep ,by now, dear.
Let's hurry. We might be held
" up, on that dark walk up the street."
vAs they . came, up the steps Jack
fumbled in his pockets.
' "Oh, shucks! I've left my key ring
In . my business suit I Let's have
-ii ."Jack, dear, I don't carry my hand
bag to a dance mine is in thete."
"I'm a stupid, fool. I'll try the
kitchen window."
He hurried around the house, Jill
remaining uneasily' on the porch.
Suddenly she was startled to hear
' the most unearthly, inhuman
screeching from over her head.
Then an ear splitting gong began
ringing until the -echoes fairly
trembled.
Jack came" running back 10 ithc
front of the house.
"What on earth is that, darling?"
cried Jill, in terror. "It's iwaking the
whole neighborhood tip."
. 4 "It's intended to do that) Worse
luck! It's that confounded burglar
alarm." ,
Windows began opening at the
fearsome racket, and lights appeared
in neighboring windows.
'"Give me your solitaire rinjj dear!"
; cried Jack. "Quick I'll cut a hole
in the glass." In a minute, he
had cut the pane, and burg!ared his
way into his'Own home.
,,''Oh, I'm so glad!" Jill murmured,
as Jack ran upstairs to turn off the
battery in the burglar ' alarm. He
hurried doton again, are a man ran
mi the steos.
"What's the trouble?" demandedf
a sleepy-eyed rural policeman.
Jac'i explained, slipping 'him a
tip, and placed a chair against the
door, to block another nocturnal
entrant.

Draw frtm ettutl fkttrpk tf Mary
Jesephim Mutjay, daufhUr Urt. R.
Brtet Murray, 2J0 LimtUU Pitt,
It was her
Doctor's idea!
MARY Josephine Murray gained
only three-quarters of
7 pound the first three months she
lived in this world. . Then her doc
tor recommended Borden's Eagle
Brand Milk. 4 'She commenced to
gain at once" Mrs. Murray reports,
and six months later she had be
. come a normal, healthy child. On
' her first birthday , she weighed 23
. lbs., 5 OZ' '' V i -V
"Our doctor always speaks of her
as a fine, healthy specimen of baby
; hood" writes Mary's mother. "She '.
is such a good, , happy baby and
sleeps all night Jong. '
Naturally, her doctor's sensible ad
vice as well as her mother's care
; have contributed largely to Mary's
wonderful health, even though her :
- -i' mother feels that she owes it all to
Eagle Brand. But many thousands
of other mothers have found Eagle
Brand the best food for their
babies. And a great many doctors .
recommend it just as Mary's doc
tor did in difficult feeding cases
, where the child was underweight
or not gaining as it should! '
A" child's health is so largely de
pendent on its food, that no mother
can afford to txfieriment. Nurse your
baby, 'f you can, of course, but if
for any .reason mother's milk fails,'
don't risk foods of which you are
not sure. :
Borden's Eagle Brand Milk has been the
standard for a great many years. For it is
nothing but milk pure country milk com'
bined with sugar. It is the natural food
when mother's milk is not available.
Your grocer has Eagle Brand. You'll find
It always pure and uniform. .
