OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
| A GIRL AND A MAN
A New and Vital Romance of City Life
J by Virginia Terhune Van 4e Water
CHAPTEft XXXI
(Copyright, 1916, by Star Company.)
Agnes Morley proved th<? truth of
the statement that a woman is incon
nistent by being painfully depressed
as she thought over her refusal of
Randolph Pickens.
In faet she even shed a few tears
over his faded sweet peas, then tried
to laugh to her own folly. But tlie
laugh stuck in her throat. She had
not the heart to throw the blossoms
away, but she did not want to put
them where she need see them. So,
taktjig them into her aunt's room, she
placed them in a glass of water.
"Toil like sweet peas,' she explain
ed. "So I am going to leave these in
here."
"Has your caller gone already?" Miss
Morley asked in surprise. She was un
dressed, and her slight form looked
thinner than ever in her scanty night
gown.
* es —he has gone." Agnes replied
brief.v. "Good-night:"
She did not linger to explain after
she had kissed her aunt and seen her
safely in bed. She was not the kind
of girl who talked to other women of
her conquest nor of the devotion of
any Aan for her. She had a sense
of honor that forbade such conti
dences.
She was glad to be alone to think
her own thoughts, yet the more she
thought the more depressed did she
become. Turning out the light in the
little parlor, she seated herself by the
open window and reviewed the hap
penings of the past hours.
Her heart smote her as she mused •
on poor Mr. Pickens. Had he been
the only man in the world she could
not have accepted his attentions. Even
now she giggled softly as she recalled
his garb and manner. But the giggle !
ended in a sound Aery much like a sob i
as she recalled his wistful eyes. He.
at least, had shown hjs fondness for
her. There was a vague kind of com
fort in the recollection. She would
probably never see him again Well,
she wished him the happiness he de
served with some woman who could
are for him.
She Thinks of Philip
Then she began once more to think
of Philip. Added to her chagrin at
his recent behavior was th; pain of
humiliation at the mistake she had
made in speaking to him about those
flowers tijis morning. His manner had
been brusque, unlike his former way I
of replying to any question of hers. " !
She could not know that poos Phil's
astonishment at her deigning to ad
dress him had beeh so great, and the
throb of his heart so sudden, that he
hardly knew what he was saying. And
then, when he realized what she had
asked, she was gone without even a
backward glance in spite of his ex
clamation of entreaty. He. on his part
was thinking that she had snubbed
him and flouted him by turning awav
from his appeal.
Thus it was that both of these young
people nursed their sense of grievance
towards each other. And all the while
their hearts were aching.
j Why Put Up With
Interrupted Telephone
Service?
On the old manual exchange system, with all other tele
phone users, you have found busy hours of the day and dead
hours of the night yhen your telephone service was exception
ally slow. You probably have "cussed" the operator, but it
really isn t her fault. It s the fault of the system.
You must genially "wait your turn," you know, with the
manual telephone to have your call handled.
USE THE AUTOMATIC
With an Automatic Telephone in your home or place of
business there is no interrupted service. Anytime, all the time,
you get your number in exactly six seconds, with "just a twist
of the wrist."
With an Automatic, there are no broken connections, no
cut-in conversations, no listening-in, no tiresome waiting.
With an Automatic, you get accurate, secret, instant tele
phone service. See it work at the Automatic Exhibit, 308
Market street, and there'll be but one answer—you will

THURSDAY EVENINQ,
■ The following morning Agnes Morley
1 overslept. Miss Lucy, who had had a
' restless night—for she was far from
well these days—did the same. So in
spite of the girl's utmost haste, she
' did not reach the office of Hale and
Bainbridge until twenty minutes past
nine. The day was warm nnd muggy
and her employer was not in a good
humor. He looked up with a frown
as she entered.
"You are late Miss Morley." he re
marked sharply. "I have been hear
for twenty-five minutes. I wish you
would be more prompt."
! "I am sorry " she apologized. "I
overslept. It will r.ot happen again."
"I am sure I hope it will not." he re
turned.
She kept back the retort she longed
to utter. She was in the wrong she told
herself, and the man had a right to
be displeased with her. Yet, had she
been his equal he would not have re
proved her in that tone. Nor, had she
been his son's equal, would Philip have
treated her with the cool indifference
that he had assumed lately.
"I am ready," was all she said as she
took up her pad and pencil.
It was in the middle of the morning
when Philip Hale came in to his father's
office.
Father nnd Son Go Out
Agnes did not raise her eyes from
the machine she heard the two men
: conversing in low tones, but she con
tinued typing. At last her employer
spoke her name.
"Miss Morley" he said, "I am going
iout and will not be back until after
I three o'clock. You will have those
letters done by the time I return
please."
"Yes. sir" she answered. "I hope to
have them finished before I go to lun
) cheon."
Together father and son started from
the room. At the door the older man
j paused.
"Oh. Phil," he said "I left a parcel
of papers there on my desk. Fetch
them, will you? I will stop and speak
to Bainbridge before I go out. I will
meet you at the door."
He went on and Philip Hale came
back into the room. Still the girl kept
on with her typing. He took a step
towatds her. but as she did not glance
towards him, turned to the desk got the .
papers in question and went quickly
from the room.
Not until she heard the outer door
I close behind the pair did Agnes pause.'
(Then she spoke in a whisper to her
self.
"He never said a word to me—not
a word. It is evident he wishes me
to understand my place. He need not
fear it's a wonder his father left him
alone for a minute—even though the
door was wide open.
"But he's safe. I'll keep in my place.
What seemed like freindship was onlv
a passing whim of Phil's, which he
wishes to forget. And I'll t£.ke pains
to show him that I myself do not care
to remember."
Then she resumed her rapid typing.

MORE RHEUMATISM
i THAN EVER BEFORE
Clergymen, lawyers, Brokers, Me
chanics and Merchants Stricken
Our old friend Rheumatiz is having
i his inning this year, and few words of
caution from one who knows all about
| it may not be amiss.
Wear rubbers in damp weather;
keep your feet dry; drink plenty of
lemonadt, and avoid strong alcoholic
t drinks.
If rheumatism gets you. or sciatica,
I and you have sharp twinges, gnawing
pain or swollen joints or muscles, you
can get rid of all agony in just a few
! days by taking one-half teaspoonful of
I Rlieuma once a day.
All druggists know about Rheuma;
It's harmless, yet powerful: cheap, yet
1 sure, and a 50-cent bottle will last a
long time. Ask H. C. Kennedy or any
druggist.
PI WHEN

KIDNEYS BOTHER
Says Uric Acid in meat clogs
Kidneys and irritates
Bladder.
A glass of Salts is harmless way
to flush Kidneys, says
authority.
If you must have your meat every
day, e*t it, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says a noted
i authority who tells us that meat forms
! uric acid which almost paralyzes the
j kidneys in their efforts to expel it
I from the glood. They become slug-
Igish and weaken, then you suffer with
I a dull misery in the kidney region,
; sharp pains in the back or sick head
| ache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weath
er is bad you have rheumatic twinges.
1 The urine gets cloudy, full of sedi-
I ment, the channels often get sore and
I irritated, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
1 To neutralize these irritating acids,
1 to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar
macy here; take a tablespoonful In
a glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also
to neutralize the acids in urine, so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad
der weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes a delightful efferves
cent lithia-water drink.

Save the Babies.
INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of
all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent, or nearly
one-quarter, die before they reach one year 5 thirty seven per cent., or more
than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen!
We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a ma
jority of these precious lives, Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these
infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures
and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or
morphine. They arc, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity
they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria
operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of
Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the
pores of the skin and allays fever.
