And it was agony to , him. He had come across the conn-, try to plead with his boy to bo a man. He didn't have to tell me-*-' '.bat I could spare him.

We solved this by offer ing to ship direct to the retailers in these in influenza districts, by parcel post prepaid, quantities of not more than three dozen Vapoßub in any one shipment, and by shipping fthat was left from our daily production to our jobbers by express instead of freight. This was costly, but it solved the problem for the time being. Now, however, we find that these small shipments are constantly increasing we have received as many as 1,306 in a single mail.

MILDRED slammed the front door defiantly and ran up stairs, humming a popklar 1 song. Honora looked after her, j started to speak, then thought bet- J ter of it and went into the kitchen. After all, she reflected, us she took the dinner from the oven and put it on the table, she would gain nothing by complaining because Tom Chandler had made her sister late to a meal. "Where is Mrs. Higgins?" Mil dred demanded, reappearing at the end of ten minutes, i Honora noticed that the girl had changed her office garb for an af ternoon frock, and that she was wearing her hair in a new and striking style. Seeming to ignore these signifi cant indications, the older sister told the story of the illness of Mrs. Higgins' sister and the widow's de parture for Hartford. Mildred's i murmured comment. "It's too bad!" ! sounded indifferent, but Honora fancied she detected, a note of re | lief In the speaker's voice. "The Bruces want us to go for a moonlight auto-ride to-night," j Honora remarked as the pair sat ' down at the dinner-table. "I ac cepted. Was that right?" "Why"—Mllly hesitated; "I sup : pose so —yes." I Sh e asked no further questions, ' and sank into a silent revery. Her | sister watched her, puzzled at her I demeanor. At last Mildred made j a suggestion. "Dear," she ventured, "suppose j you go alone with the Bruces to j night, and count me out of the party." "And leave you here all alone!" Honora exclaimed. "I will do noth ing of the sort." i Mildred flushed and frowfted im patiently. "I really think," she broke forth, "that I might be considered old enough to look out for myself. Nobody is going to break into the house and carry me ofT. For good ness sake, Honora, don't be so ab solutely ridiculous!" Honora stared at her, amazed at her impetuosity. , "Don't be ridiculous yourself, Milly," she began. "Dont call me 'Milly!'" the other snapped. "Well, whether you are Milly or Mildred," Honora retorted, "I'm not going to-night unless you do. That is certain. What under the sun is the matter with you? Have you another engagement?" "No." "Then"—Honora pursued the sub ject stubbornly—"why don't you go auto riding?" "I don't feel quite like It," the other murmured awkwardly. "I— I—guess I am not very well." "Don't go, then," Honora advised quickly, trying not to show her dis appointment. "I'll phone Arthur after dinner and tell him to call it off. If you are not feeling well," she added, suspiciously, "why did you take the trouble to put on that dress and fix your hair so elabo rately?" To this the other made no reply, and the meal was finished in a Daily Dot Puzzle 8 * a lO ' L 3 8 • • • 7 • '5 „ 4 22 23 • 71 • • 19 2? • *24 " • 18 *26 ' 2s > v yv 5 16 ; s' 7 • ' * ** 2 * * . .34 35 3b y j, :<o u# V4s% if. * > ' s4 " 51 I Draw from one tp two and so on to the end gloomy silence. But as the two girls rose from the table the young er spoke impulsively, all traces of vexation gone front her face and . manner. "It's too bad I wasn't nice about the ride, Honora," she said. "It's been hot and stuffy at the office all day, and 1 am a hit tired. But if . you want to go with the Bruces I'll . go, too." "Oh. I don't care." Honora forced herself to speak cheerfully. "If you don't want to go we'll stay home." Mildred laughed nervously. "But 1 now that I come to think of it," she declared, "I believe that I would like the ride. It may do me good." "Did you say the car's to be here at eight? I'll be ready." She watched Honora carry a tray of soiled dishes into the kitchen, but made no move to follow her. A second later she tipped out into the j hall. Her sister, bending over the sink, | fancied that she' heard, above the i sound of the running water, the clink of th e telephone bell, as though the receiver had been lifted off its hook. She paused for a mo ment to listen, but hearing no voicfc, went on with her work. Three minutes later Mildred en tered the kitchen. Her face was very pink and her manner unnatu ral. "Here!" she exclaimed, pulling the dish-towel from Honora's ( hands, "let me help you! I forgot Katie was out and that you had to ( do her job." She chatted excitedly while the [ dishes were being washed, dried and put on the shelves. Several times r sh e stopped in the middle of her task and stood listening. The work was just completed when the bleat of a motor horn sounded. * "That must be the Bruces now!" [ Mildred exclaimed, pushing her sis ter from the kitchen and catching '. up a cloak that she had laid on the _ diningroom table. "Hurry upstairs ' and get ready, Honora! I'll tell them you're coming." tAs Honora obeyed, the younger girl stood and watched her ascend the stairs. Then she ran to the ' front door. In her own room, Honora had just removed her apron and strug . gled into her cloak, when she heard . the front door slam. "Why need Mildred be in such haste to get into \ the. car?" she wondered. Turning , out her light, she paused to glance i out of her window into the street ' below. Mildred was climbing into a low \ slung runabout. Honora had seen it before and recognized It as Tom , Chandler's father's car. "Milly!" she called, leaning from the window; "Milly!" But the roar of the motor drowned h'er voice and the run . about whirred away down the street, carrying her sister and the man that' the denizens of Fairlands designated as "that wild Tom Chan dler."
