"You haven't tried to play the

into your shell. You've been plank

lightly. That being the case you
would have been wise to try making

coming. I didn't need to happen in
this afternoon to know that there

said bluff, good-natured Mr. Rivers. ,

Klad it is going to be Rose. Your
mother and I had hoped that you
and Rose would settle down some
day."
"She the only rirl, returned
the younger man. "The only girl I
ever thought of seriously. Of course,
there are always a lot of girls a fel
low likes to flirt with and have a
good time with, but Rose is different.
"You bet your life she's different;
no foolish notions about her. She'll
make you a happy man, Dick."
"It's great to have you talk this
way, dad."
"Well, it's great to feel this way, j
boy, and just to show you how I
feel about it, I'm going to buy you
young folks the Summers' place for
a wedding present."
The munificence of his own gift
so pleased the older man that he did
not see the peculiar look on Dick's
face; neither did he notice Dick's
lack of enthusiasm. If he thought
anything at all about it, he put the
boy's attitude down to gratitude that
could not be properly expressed.
In the Edwardes' bungalow across
town Rose Edwardes was telling her
mother all about it. Rose had no
father, but Mrs. Edwardes had been
left so well off that the girl had had
every advantage. It had been the
desire of the mother's heart that
I Rose should one day marry Dick
Rivers, the son of an old and treas
ured friend, and now that the girl
had actually said that she and Dick
were engaged, happy tears filled the
mother's eyes
"I was afraid for a time there,"
Mrs. Kdwardes confessed. "You
j seemed to like Jack Quimby. And,
of course, I couldn't say anything. I
knew that would bo the worst thing
in the world for Dick."
"Oh. you foolish old dear," bub
bled the girl. "Jack never had a
chance. I just played with him to
make Dick cross. There never was
any one else for me, mother." And
the girl hid her head on her mother's
shoulder.
"Well, dearest girl," Mrs. Ed-
S wardes said finally, "I want to give
you something handsome, so 1 shall
buy you youngsters that lovely En
glish house down by the quarry for
! a wedding present."
Rose, who was about to say some
thing, suddenly stopped, and her
mother, without waiting for her
daughter to express her thanks,
went on talking about it.
"I have always loved that place,"
she confessed, "and now I feel that
I can invest in it and come there to
see you."
And the girl was forced to mur
mur words of gratitude while her
own heart was heavy.
Half an hour later out in the
moon-flooded garden of the Ed
wardes place two young people met,
and each plunged into the subject
nearest his and her heart.

she begun despairingly. "She has

gloomily, "Dad wants to buy us the

Thousands Will Avoid
Annoying Catarrh This Winter
A Little Precaution Higlit Now Saves i
Vntold Annoyance
You who have been afflicted with i
| Catarrah. know that with the first
j signs of cold and damp weather the
I disease will promptly return, and re
main an unwelcome guest as of yore.

| ing and inconvenience which your

is in the blood.
I That is why a thorough course of
S. S. S., the unequalled blood rem
j edy, does so much good right now.
This remedy goes to the very sourco
of the disease, and by purifying and
cleansing the blood, eliminates the
germs of Catarrh, and drives them
from the system.
Begin this treatment to-day, and
you will be thankful for the wonder
ful relief you will enjoy this winter.
S. S. S. is sold by druggists every
where, and has been on the market
for more than fifty years. Be sure
