It was ran by a old man, neerly seventy yeers old, but he looked yung in his eyes & he was as strato as Pa, only he dident have any round stummick on him like Pa's stummick. He toald me wen I asked him why he stayed so slim that he had to work pritty hard all his life & that ha dident have any time to grow fat. Pa went out in the woods hunting the next day with a guide, & I stayed in the hotel & talked to the old man wen he wasent busy. Wen he wasent busy he wud cum oaver & ask me questuns about the big city. I wanted to tell him about the city, but his eyes looked so deep that I was afrade he knew a lot more than I ewer know, so I only toald him a littel about the slcool I went to & sum of the shows lich Ma & Pa had took me to. Was you ewer in the big city, I asked the old man. He looked at mo a long time & then he sed Yes, my littel man, I was In the big city onst, but that was many yeers ago. I was thare for fifteen of the best years of my life, he sed. I saw the big city you are telling me about & X saw many things thare wich you have never sen & wlch I hoap you will newer see. I was born up here in the moun tains. the old man toald me, & wen I was a vary yung man I thought that I wud like to go to the big city & maik a naim for myself. IJke lots of boys that go thare from a small place, ho sed. I got in with a wrong lot, & the only naim I made for myself was the naim of beeing the wildest of the wild crowd I moved in. While I was liv ing that way in the big city, my moth er & father died up heer in the moun- Their Married Life j By MABEL HERBERT URNER j The lighted stained-glass windows of the church shone dimly through the rain. They turned up the brick walk and made their way. around un der the dripping- trees to the side en trance, where the light flooded out. In the vestibule a young man col lected the tickets, while through the open door of the lecture room, where the play was to be given, came a buzz of conversation. "No danger of anybody around here swiping an umbrella?" asked War ren facetiously, as he deposited his In the corner. Helen gasped. What a dreadful thing to say in a church! But the ycung man answered Warren's pleas antry with an amused smile. "I guess you'll find it safe, sir." Then with a glance at the over crowded hat racks, "You can put your wraps in the chapel, if you like." In the dimly-lit chapel the rows of empty pews and the wliite-sheeted pulpit chairs loomed up ghostly among the shadows. A number of raincoats and wraps were thrown over a railing near the door. "Dear, you see we're not late," whispered Helen triumphantly, as free from their wraps they now en tered the lecture room. There were no reserved seats, and except for a few chairs in the front and last rows the place was crowded. To Helen's embarrassment Warren strode straight up in front! "Oh, isn't this too near?" for they were almost against the "orchestra," which consisted of a piano and a violinist, who was now tuning up. "Hadn't we better go further back?" "Not much. I came all the way from New York to see Maxwell in this show, and I'm not going to take any back seat." "Hush, dear, not so loud," for War ren's gruff undertone sounded start lingly loud amid the decorous, sub dued whisperings. Helen was uncomfortably conscious of the many inquiring glances di rected at them. She knew that in the village church everyone knew every one else, and that the people in the seats back of them were wondering who they could be. There was a forceful air about Warren that always made him con spicuous, and Helen hoped fervently that the scathing comments on the play, which she feared he would make, would not be overheard. A printed program lay on the chair beside her. "THE CINNAMON CLUB Presents "THE WINNER WINS" A Comedy of the West, in the Lecture Room of the First Church, Milford, Conn. Then came the "cast" and a "syn opsis" of the three acts. "Here's Max," chuckled Warren, pointing to the fourth character. " 'Bert Clifford, the Ardent Lover—J. C. Maxwell.' The ardent lover! That's rich! Hardly spoke Jo a girl in his life." Then the red denim curtains were drawn hitchingly aside on "Act I. Living room of John Perkins's house on a Texas ranch." The furnishing of the "living room" consisted of a table set for breakfast, four chairs, a couch, a few knick knacks and an Indian blanket hung on the wall to give the "western" atmosphere. Texana, the Perkins's "hired girl," was hovering over the table. Her hair, braided out in horns, was tied with bright pink ribbons, and she made it clear from her first line that hers was the "character" part which was to furnish most of the comedy. Then Mrs. Perkins entered a rather pretty young woman, plainly fright ened. Her voice was high pitched and shrill, and she stood stiffly at the side of the stage with her handker chief in her hand during this scintiK lating bit of dialogue. Mrs. Perkins "Good morning, Texana, I see you have flowers on the table this morning." Texana (bobbing and grinning) "Mornin", Mis' Perkins. Yes, I wanted to have things look purty. I reckon like as not Mr. Clifford'll - ome courtin' long o' Miss Jean to day." Mrs. Perkins—"The idea. You shouldn't get such notions, Texana." Texana—"Can't help it. Mis' Per kins, ma'am. There Is nothin' in the world like love —sweet love." "Oh, lord!" groaned Warren. Then Mr. Perkins came on In boots and riding breeches, and they sat down to breakfast. "Why that's real coffee," whispered Helen as Mrs. Perkins poured out the coffee steaming hot. Warren grinned. "Guess they need •ome sort of bracer to get through this play." Then the door was thrown open and "Jean—the girl from the East" burst in. Apparently the Cinnamon Club liad not wanted to go to the expense MONDAY EVENING tains. Then I caim hoam, too lait, & I have been here with my mountains ewer since, I have beecum welthy, the old man toald me, but I am afrade I can newer be as happy as I wud have been if I had stayed ware I was born. Wuddent you like to go back to the city and & see a show? I asked the old man. My deer littel man, he sed, shows are for the yung. There is nothing new in the city for me to see, nothing but the old streets that X used to roam oaver wen I was maiking my grate mistake. Thay may have changed, but the saim ground is under them that I used to walk over. I am hap pier here. Maybe I will cum & live in the mountains sum day, I sed to the old man. Maybe, sed the old man, but that will be after I have gone. The yung may love the mountains, but thay must see life first, the kind of life that the mountains do not know and would not care to know. They will tire of that wunderful life in time, & then sum of them, the ones that have not died yung, will oum to the mountains as I came, tired and too old. I always liked the city best till you talked this way, I sed to the old man, Maybe I will run away from hoam & cum here to live. Doant say that, sed the old man. Newer run away l'rom hoam. That is what I did. Stay with yure father and mother until thay think it is best for you to go. That is what I dident do, he sed, & I want you to promise to do that much for me. So I promised, but I wish I cud al ways be neer that old man & his mountains . |of a riding habit so they had faked one out of an old linen suit, that Jean might make her entry consistent with her speech. It was a long speech, full of flowerv phrases about her "glorious" ride | through the hills and dales, the prairie breeze and the sky dappled with j clouds. She gave it as though it were a commencement recitation, and in the same high pitched voice, i "She's the girl that Max makes love I to," judged Warren. Hardly had Texana cleared -the ■ table after the two-minute break fast. when there was a knock that shook the flimsy door, and in came j Jack Maxwell. Warren dropped his : program and clappes uproariouslv. i "Don't —don't," whispered Helen 'pleadingly, pulling at his arm. As no one else was clapping, the sound was startling. j But Warren did not stop until Max well glanced out and acknowledged the applause with a twitching grin under his false mustache. < If Helen had not been so em barrassed at Warren's conduct, she I would have been convulsed at the j stilted way in which they all stood I around the stage and spouted their | speeches in the commencement stylo ■ of oratory. Maxwell was tall and thin, with j a voice surprisingly deep in contrast I to the high-pitched tones of the girls. ! He evidently took his part most ser j iously, and Helen thought that once or I twice he looked out in annoyance at j Warren's ill-concealed chuckles. | The play was undoubtedly written [by an aspiring playwright of the Cln namon Club, and its amateurish lines j combined with the amateur acting, ) produced a real comedy. But the redeeming feature of it all ! was Jean's adorable prettiness, and ! when in the last act Maxwell caught i her in his arms. Warden muttered, | "Lucky Dog." When the red curtain hitched to after the final touching scene, War j ren made straight for the door be side the stage. Feeling that they i had no right to intrude behind the scenes, Helen hung back, but he beckoned to her peremptorily. Re luctantly she followed, feeling self | conscious and very much out of place. She looked for Maxwell to greet Warren with effusive cordiality, but now to her surprise he was quite cool. He had taken off his false mustache : and was wiping off the grease paint I with a towel. | He bowed formally to Helen when : Warren introduced her, but he | evinced none of the hearty good-fel lowship that Helen had naturally ex ' pected. j A number of the audience had now i made their way back to congratulate the actors. And on all sides were heard gushing comments of how j "splendidly" the play had "gone off," and how "beautifully" every one had i acted. I Helen thought that of course Mr. Maxwell would show them around, explain the various crude devices, and | then walk with them to the station. But he merely expressed his regret that they had had so bad an evening jto come up, and asked if they were going back on the 10:55. I They had intended taking the later 1 train, but now Warren glanced at his I watch with a casual look. "Yes, we'll just about have time to . make that" j With a brief good-by they went i back to the dim chapel for their wraps. Helen's cheeks were burning i with a fierce resentment. She could ; hardly wait until they were outside i before she broke out indignantly. | "What WAS the matter? What i MADE him so cool?. After we had : come all the way from New York to I see him—why he was hardly civil!" | "Oh. Maxwell's all right. He's a mighty fine fellow—best ever. He was just rattled, that's all." "No, that WASN'T all! He was just ae cool as he could be! And to think we came all the way out here In the rain to see that silly play!" Helen's indignation was growing. "Well, he may be a little sore. I've i guyed him pretty hard about that play. But Max's a good fellow—he's lall right. He'll come around." It was still raining, and Helen I clung close to Warren's arm as they | trudged to the station through the j dark village streets. Her disapproval land embarrassment at his conduct In ithe church was now forgotten in her consuming indignation at Maxwell's ] slighting attitude. It had amounted I almost to a snub. That any one should snub Warren! In spite of the chilled mist that blew In her face. Helen's cheeks still burned hotly. She had conceived a profound animosity for this man. She had never met him before* and she never wanted to meet him again. For a mild meek little woman, Helen's thoughts were almost revengeful. Warren had been slighted! And with the primitive woman Instinct she was up in arms iu his defense. m MUCH LIKE THE ILOR SUITS Dainty Shades of Pink or Blue Pique Make Up Prettily For Summer 8198 Girl's Long Waisted Drew, 4 to 8 years.

MEAT INJURIOUS 10 TIE KIDNEYS Take a tablespoonful of Salts if l Back hurts or Bladder ' bothers We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kid ney trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blcod to poison the entire system. When your kidneys ache and l'eel like lumps of lead, and you have sting ing pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek relief during the night; when you have se vere headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning and In a few days your kid neys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lerron juice, combined with lithla, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu tralize the acids in urine so it is no longer a source of irritation, thus end ing urinary and bladder disorders. jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure: makes a delightful effervescent I lithla-water drink, and nobody can : make a mistake by taking a little occa sionally to. keep the kidneys clean and active. —Advertisement.
