CHAPTER CI,

Once I had made up my mind to tell
Terry nothing about the tragedy that
was hanging over Betty my nervousness
ceased. My decision was made and
with it the further one that all thought
of the ugly outcome of the operation
on Betty's arm must he dismissed from
my thoughts for the time being. That
much I owed to Betty. Time enough
later to grieve over the doctor's verdict;
time enough later to try to help Betty
reconcile herself to a useless right
hand. This was the bride's day, and
I must bring cheer and bright thoughts
to it. , ,
It was after 8 when I came back
from my walk through the pine woods.
1 breakfasted with the Matron of Grey
friars Hall, who seemed in a regular
feminine flutter over the romantic mar
riage that was to take place in the
pavalion, and presently Miss Moss came
to tell me that I might see Betty.
The bride herself wasn't a bit lluttery.
She had the quiet joy and serenity of
one who makes port after a stormy
voyage. ... ,j
"Anne." she asked blushingly, could
you phone Virginia to, bring me down •
some—'essentials.'"
"Perhaps I could find your essen
tials in that pretty little city we went
through just before we got here. Terry
went back to town by train and Tonys
chauffer and car are here," I answered.
"Oh, how splendid! Trontise not to
laugh, but I do so want a marcel wave
and a little green or orchid-color fluff
to wear instead of these silly blue and
pink negligees. Its odd enough to be
married from a sick bed. but I don t
want to wear a cap and look all lnvalid
dy."
"I'll go." I said, turning away to
hide the mist in my eyes.
Dear, dear Betty, whose besetting
sin was vanity—how hard it would be
for her to endure her chastening.
After an hour of shopping. I returned,
bringing my first gift to the bride—the
loveliest piece of silvery, shlmmery pale
green chiffon, a bit of orchid color to
line it and lustrous satin ribbon to
bind the edges. Betty exclaimed with
joy when she saw my purchases, and
my triumph was complete when in
through tlio doorway came my other
"purchase," the town's best marcel
artist, whose services I had bought from
the hair dressing establishment with

| what was left of the $25 Jim had given
t me the day before.
I I cut and stitched and worked away
lat the Matron's machine while Betty
was marcelled and manicured and then
I put gently to sleep at noon.
I Terry had telephoned early in the
j morning, and now he called again to
l say he was just starting off with Vir
j ginia, Tony. Jim and the minister, and
I that his bride might expect him by 4.
Even the sedative couldn't keep Betty
asleep for long, and so by three she
was propped up on her pillows trying
on the cloudy little robe of orchid,
shadowed by green, I had contrived to
fashion for her.
"Oh, you got her own color. Oh,
my blessed lamb, you're as pretty a
bride as ever I looked at." cried Miss
Moss, whose tearfulness passed muster
as the regular middle-aged feminine
reaction to the wedding of a dear one.
"Bet me see," fluttered Betty.
So we unscrewed the mirror from
the bureau and let her see her own
sweetness. She didn't look like a stately
green jade goddess to-day, but like a
little wood-nymph tricked out for
Spring.
Phesently Spring arrived indeed. A
messenger from the city came with
box x after box of pussy-willows and pale
pink Ophelia roses and sun-lit Aaron
Burr and masses of sweetpeas. It
seemed a little strange to me that the
flowers were all pale yellow or bore a
breath of dawn pink. There was never
a lavender sweetpea nor yet a purple
pansy nor an orchid, whose colors were
Betty's own.
| Baskets and vases of birch-bark and
; straw came with the messenger and
! slim holders for single stems. So we
made a bower for our Betty, and then
we tiptoed out and left her alone in it. _
Not until we were out of Betty's
corridor did Miss Moss venture the ques
tion that had been haunting her all
! day as I could guess.
| "The Doctor told you?"
I "Yes, Miss Moss."
! "He's going to tell Captain Winston?"
I "No. He's leaving me to tell—any
one who needs to know."
I Not a spare word from either of
I us. We couldn't. AVe didn't dare. This
| was Betty's wedding day.
( Then, at last, the car. Therry leaped
; out. bearing in his hand a monster box.
j Orchids. 1 knew. He had not for
| gotten, but they were for Betty herself,
| and he was carrying them to her.
I Gravely I kissed Jim and A'irginia,
I gravely shook hands with the minister
and Anthony Norreys. Then I did what

I knew Dr. Lucas and Miss Moss were
waiting for.
"Terry, may I have a minute alone
with you?" I asked.
"Or course, sister Anne. Miss Moss,
please keep these nice friends in the
waiting room a minute, will you—until
I've had a word alone with my Betty?
Oh, I lJnow the groom usually doesn't
see the bride till the wedding, but this
is different.
I Then Terry and I turned toward the
I pine woods, where only that morning
j T had made my momentous decision.
' I asked him of his plans. He told me
I how he purposed to stay at the inn
| in the neighboring city and visit Betty
each day, and then how—as soon as the
doctor permitted—he wanted to take a
I little bungalow in the pines and help
I Miss Moss nurse Hetty back to health.
"I suppose they'll free her arm from
splints and bandages in about a month.
I I must ask the doctor." he concluded.
"Oh—l'll do that for you. Terry!" I
cried, knowing I had kept him away
[ long enough to avert suspicion. "And
now let's go back. And —you'll be mar
ried and live happily ever after."
"Yes." said Terry jubilantly. "There's
no doubt of that!"

LITTLE TALKS BY
BEA TRICE FAIRFAX
Do all true lovers love at first
sight?
It is the problem of the ages. It
is the subject that every livet is
endlessly willing to debate. It is
the most fascinating of mysteries.
To those that is, for whom it is a
mystery at all.
For there are sturdily dogmatic
lovers in the worid who seem to
understand this subject far better
than you or I can ever do, and who
will maintain in loud voices, so long
as they live, that love at first sight
is the only love. They'll champion
love at first sight against armies of
puzzled sceptics. It's their religion.
I had almost said they would die
for it.
Yet it may be that you who read
this would swear that you know the
meaning of true love, yet lovo at
first sight you know nothing of. Love
unfolded in you gradually, you would
say, like the delicate, slow, mysteri
lOUS process of nature, rather than
suddenly, violently, ilke an explo
sion.
Your love seems to be com pie'e.
You're not conscious of its lacking
any element. lot you are made
uneasy and troubled by the sug
gestion that there may be a glorious,
electric super-love of which you
know nothing, of which you never
can know anything, a love that lifts
mortals apart and fills their lives
with an unimaginably wonderful
something that if you could under
stand you would profoundly envy.
Docs Super-Love Exist?
Of course, nothing of the sort may
exist, >ou tell yourself. You're pret
ty sure it doesn't. And yet vou wish
people wouldn't talk about It.
I'm unwilling to lessen your con
tentment, to trouble your n.cllcvv
ease, but what am T to do? The
subject simply won't stay under cov
er. It forces its way to the suif-.ce
with a power that would amaze you.!
There are untold numbers who fair-

STOMACH LPSET?
Get at the Real Cause—Take
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets
That's what thousands of stomach
sufferers are doing now. Instead of
taking tonics, or trying to patch up a
poor digestion, they are attacking the
real cause of the ailment —clogged
liver and disordered bowels.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets arouse
the liver in a soothing, healing way.
When the liver and bowels are per
forming their natural functions, away
goes indigestion and stomach troubles.
If you have a bad taste in your
mouth, tongue coated, appetite poor,
lazy, don't-care feeling, no ambition or
energy, troubled with undigested foods,
you should take Olive Tablets, the
substitute for calomel.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets are a
purely vegetable compound mixed with
olive oil. You will know them by their
olive color. They do the work without
griping, cramps or pain.
Take one or twoat bedtime for quick
relief, so you can eat what you like.

heart, some intelligence not strictly \
. of the brain, their two selves are re-1

All later experience merely con-!
j firm what their hearts knew in a
Hash.
I it is no wonder that lovers who
have experienced this miracle should
I be somewhat arrogant about it—-and
jl am inclined to think that they

i believe themselves a circle of the
I elect, and let us forgive thern for

! They even deny—we have uii heard

marvels of love are not to be de

Theie is a gentler type oi love
