"ProVabTy. And you will go?"
j "Certainly."
"Even when the result "
' "Oh, don't preach!" she said, put
ting her hands to her ears. "If you
and Minnie want to preach, why don't
lyou preach at each other? Minnie
Italks 'love, love, love.' And you preach
(health and morality. You drive me
jcrazy between you."
"Suppose," he said with a gleam In
!his eyes, "suppose I preach 'love, love,
jlove!"
She put her fingers In her ears
agaln. "Say it to Minnie," she cried,
land turned her back to him.
"Very well," he said. "Minnie, Miss
Jennings refuses to listen, and there
are Borne things I must say. Once
(again I am going to register a protest
jagainst her throwing herself away in
fa loveless marriage. I I feel strongly
(on the subject, Minnie."
She half turned, as If to internist
(Then she thought better of It and kept
(her fingers in her ears, her face
jflushed. But he had learned what he
Jiopad that she could hear him.
"You ask me why I feel so str6ngly,
,Mlnnie, and you are right to ask. Un
der ordinary circumstances, Minnie,
any remark of mine on the subject
."would be ridiculous impertinence."
' He stopped and eyed her back, but
jBhe did not move.
"It is impertinence under any cir
cumstances, but consider the provoca
tion. I see a young, beautiful and sen
sitive girl, marrying, frankly without
love, a man whom I know to be un
iworthy, and you ask me to stand aside
land allow it to happen!"
"Are you still preaching?" she
jasked coldly over her shoulder. "It
;muet be a long sermon."
And then, knowing he had only a
(moment more, his voice changed and
(became deep and earnest His hands,
jthat were clutching a chair-back, took
ia stronger hold, so that' the ends of
Ithe naile were white.
"You see, Minnie," he said, turning
a little pale, "I I love Miss Jennings
jmyself. You have known it a long
time, for you love her, too. It has
come to the point that I measure the
day by the hours when I can see her.
She dopi ii't care for me; sometimes I
(think t-'hu hates nie." lie paused here,
ibut :uiis I'utty didn't move. "I haven't
anything to offer a woman except a
iclean life and the kind of love that a
(woman could be proud of. I have no
jtitlc "
Miss Tatty suddenly took her fingers
'out of her ears and turned around.
iShe was flushed and shaken, but she
(looked past him without blinking an
ieyelash to me.
"Dear me," she said, "the sermon
must have been exciting, Minnie! You
are quite trembly! !"
, And with that she picked up her
snuff and went out, with not a glance
lat him.
, He looked at me.
"Well." he eaid, "that's over. She's
a-ngry, Minnie, and she'll never forgive
pie."
"Stuff!" I snapped, "I noticed she
waited to hear it all, and no real worn
an ever hated a man for Baying he
loved her."
CHAPTER XV,
: I carried out the supper to the shelter-house
as UBual that night, but I
hiight have saved myBelf the trouble.
Mrs. Dicky was sitting on a box, with
iher hair in puffs and the folding card
table before her, and Mr. Dick was un
corking a bottle of champagne with a
mail. There were two or three queer
looking cans open on the table.
Mrs. Dick looked at my basket and
turned up her nose.
"Put it anywhere, Minnie," she said
loftily, "I dare say it doesn't contain
anything reckless."
"Cold ham and egg salad," I said,
Betting it down with a slam. "Stewed
prunes and boiled rice for dessert If
those cans taste as they smell, you'd
better keep the basket to fall back on.
IWhere'd you get that?"
Mr. Dick looked at me over the bot
tle and winked.
"In the next room," he said, "iced to
the proper temperature, paid for by
BomAody else, and coming after a wo
weeks' drought! Minnie, there isn't a
ahadow on my joy!"
"He'll miss it," I said. But Mr. Dick
!was pouring out three large tumblers
ful of the stuff, and he held one out to
tne.
"Miss it!" he exclaimed. "Haen't he
Ibeen out three times today, tapping
liis little cache? And didn't he bring
lout Moody and the senator and von In
Wrald this afternoon, and didn't they
Bit in the next room there from two to
four, roaring songs and cracking bob
Ues and Jokes."
"Beasts!" Mrs. Dicky said savagely.
Two hours, and we daren't move!!"
"Drink pretty creature!" Mr. Dick
paid, motioning to my glass. "Bon't
he afraid of it, Minnie; it's food and
(drink."
"I don't like it," I said, sipping at
It "I'd rather have the spring wa
ter." "You'll have to cultivate a taste for
.It" l;e explained. "You'll like the sec
pnd half better."
1 got Tt flown somehow and started
i'or the door. Mr. Dick came after me
with something that smelled fishy on
the end of a fork.
"Better eat something," he su.frrre''
ed. "That was considerable ''
pagne, Minnia."
"StutT and nonsense," I said. "I was
tired and it has rested me. That's all,
Mr. Dick."
"Sure."
"Certainly," I said with dignity, "I'm
really rested, Mr. Dick. And happy
I'm very happy', Mr. Dick."
"Perhaps I'd better close the door,"
he said. "The light may be seen "
"You needn't close it until I've fin
ished talking," I said. "I've done my
best for you and youre, Mr.- Dick. I
hope you appreciate it Night after
night I've tramped out here through
the snow, and lost sleep, and lied my
self black in the face you've no idea
how I've had to He, Mr. Dick."
"Come in and shut the doof, Dick,"
Mrs.' Dick called, "I'm freezing."
That made me mad.
"Exactly," I said, glaring at her
through the snow, bringing you meals
that you scorn oh, yes, you scorn
them. What did you do to the basket
tonight? Look at it, lying there, neg
lected In a corner, with p perfectly
good ham and stewed fruit in it."
All of a sudden I felt terrible about
the way they had treated the basket,
and I eat down on the steps and began
to cry. I remember that, and Mr. Dick
sitting down beside me and putting
nis arm around me and calling me
"good old Minnie," and for heaven's
sake not to cry so loud. But I was
past caring. I had a sort of recollec
tion of his getting me to stand up, and
our walking through about 21
miles of snow to the springhouse.
When we got there he stood oft In the
twilight and looked at me.
"I'm sorry, Minnie," he eaid, "I nev
er dreamed it would do that"
"Do what?"
"Nothing. You're sure you won't for
get?" "I never forget," I said. I had got
up the steps by this time and was try
ing to figure why the . springhouse
door had two knobs. I hadn't any idea
what he meant.
"Remember," he said, very slowly,
"Thoburn is going to have his party
tonight Instead of tomorrow. Tell
Pierce that. Tonight, not tomorrow."
I was pretty well ashamed when I
got in the 6prlnghouse and sat down
in the dark. I kept saying over and
over to myself, so I'd not forget, "to
night, not tomorrow," but I couldn't
remember what was to be tonight I
was sleepy, too, and my legs were cold
and numb. I remember going into the
pantry for a steamer rug, and sitting
down there for a minute, with the rug
around my knees before I started to
the house. And that is all I do remember.
I was awakened by a terrible ham
merlng in the top of my head. I
reached out for the glass of water
that I always put beside my bed at
night and I touched a door-knob in
stead. Then I realized that the knock
ing wasn't all in my head. There
was a sort of steady movement of feet
on the other side of the door, with
people talking and laughing. And
above it all rose the steady knock
knock of somebody beating on tin.
"Can't do it." It was the bishop's
voice. "I am convinced that nothing
, but dynamite will open this tin of
lobster."
"Just a moment biehop," Mr. Tho
fcurn's voice and the clink of bottles,
"I have a can opener somewhere.
You'll find the sauce a la Newburg "
"Here, somebody, a glass,' quick! A
bottle's broken!"
"Did anybody remember to bring
salt and pepper?"
"Dear Mr. Thoburn!" It sounded like
Miss Cobb. "Think of thinking of all
this!"
"The credit is not mine, dear lady,"
Mr. Thoburn said. "Where the deuc
is that corkscrew? No, dear lady,
man makes his own destiny, but his
birth date remains beyond his con
trol." "Ladies and gentlemen," somebody
said, "to Mr. Thoburn's birthday be
yond his controll"
There was the clink of glasses, but
I had remembered what t had been
that I was to remember. And now it
was too late. I was trapped in the
pantry of my springhouse and Mr.
Pierce was probably asleep. I
"I Knew Right Off What It Meant."
clutched my aching head and tried to
think. I was reused by hearing some
body say that Miss Jennings had no
glass, and by steps nearing the pantry.
I had Just time to slip the bolt.
"Pantry's locked!" said a voice.
T)rat that Minnie!" somebody said.
"The girl's a nuidaEw.-
"Hush!" Miss Summers said. "She's
probably in there now taking down
what we say and what we eat Con
victing us out of our own mouths."
I held my breath and the knob rat
tled. Then they found a glass for Mils
Patty and forgot the pantry.
Under cover of the next buret of
noises I tried the pantry window, but
it was frozen shut. Nothing but a
Immmer would have loosened it. I be
gan to dig a.t it with a wire hairpin,
but I hadn't niu 6 'aope.
The fun in the springhouse was get
ting fast and furious. Miss Summers
was leaning against the pantry door
and I Judged that most of the men in
the room were around her, as usual. I
put my ear to the panel of the door,
and I could pretty nearly eee what was
going on. They were toasting .Mr. Tho
burn, and getting hungrier every min
ute as the supper was put out on the
card tables. t
"To the bottle!" somebody said.
"In infancy, the milk bottle; In our
prime, the wine bottle; in our dotage,
the pill bottle."
Mr. von Inwald came over and stood
beside Miss Summers, and I could hear
every whisper.
"I have good news for you," she said
in an undertone.
"Oh! And what?" .
"Sh! You may recall," she said, "the
series of notes, letters, epistles, with
which you have been honoring me
lately?"
"How .could I forget? TJey were
written in my heart's blood!"
"Indeed!" Her voice lifted its eye
brows, so to speak. ''Well, somebody
got in my room last night and etole
I dare say a pint of your heart's blood.
They're gone."
He was pretty well upset, as fte
might be, and she stood by and lis
tened to the things he said, which, if
:they were as bad in English as they
sounded in German, I wouldn't like to
write down. And when he cooled
down and condensefl, as you may say,
into English, he said Miss Jennings
must have seen the letters, for she
would hardly speak to him. And Miss
.Summers said ehe hoped Miss Jen
nings had she was too nice a girl to
treat shamefully.
And after he had left her there
alone, I heard a sort of soratching on
the door behind Miss Summers' back,
and then something being shoved un
der the door. I stooped down and
picked it up. It was a key!

are, we honestly believe, the best remedy made for Indigestion, Dyspepsia and
other Stomach Ills
We Know They're Good Delays Are Dangerous You Risk No Money
all
rtosall Dyspepsia Tablets, in addition
to otUcr ingredients, contain Pepsin and
Bismuth, two great digestive aids used by
the entire medical profession. They
soothe the inflamed stomach, check the
heartburn and distress, stimulate a
healthy secretion of the gastric juice,
aid in rapid and comfortable digestion
of the food and help to quickly convert
it into rich red blood, and thereby into
firsh, bone and muscle. They relieve
stomach distress promptly, and, used
regularly for a short time, tend to re
store the stomach to a comfortable,
easy-acting, healthy state. They aid
greatly to promote regular bowel action.
Don't neglect indigestion, for it fre
quently leads to all sorts of ills and com
plications. The pain and discomfort is
not the most unfortunate part. The fact
that when the stomach is not acting
right, the material needed to repair the
wastes that are constantly taking place
in the body is not being given to the blood
either in the proper condition or fast
enough is far more serious. Nothing
will cause more trouble than an unhealthy
stomach. The blues, debility, lack of
strength and energy, constipation, bil
iousness, headaches and scores of other
serious ailments result from the failure
of (lie stomach to properly do its work.
Our willingness to have you use Sexall
Dyspepsia Tablets entirely at our risk
proves our faith in them. We always
sell them this way, and it is because
we know that they have greatly ben
efited scores of sufferers to whom
we have sold them. There's no red
tape about our guarantee. It means
just what itsays. We'll ask you no
questions. You needn't sign anything.
Your word is enough for us. We know
that when they help you you will con
sider it money well spent even if they
had cost you ten times as much. If they
don't helij you, the money you paid for
them is yours, and we want you to have it.
