(Copyright. 1919. King Features

The morning after Aunt Mollies
ilying visit to Dreamwold Jim and
Pat went up to town and the day's
work on the "Hankers and Brokers,
as the nine-two train is called. I
suggested motoring them in, hut that
brought a snarl from Jim such as
1 hadn't heard in a kindly while.
"Had enough to miss a decent train
like the eight-twenty-seven, hut now
vou want tne to come ladle-dashing
into the office in'time for lunch if
the ear doesn't develop engine trou
ble or bust a tire. In whicli case
J'd he there for tea. I've a day s
work to do. Anne, though you don t
seem to understand that. And the
market opens at ten." , . ,
"Quit vour grousing." admonished
Hat. "And I'll lay you live to one
1 hut like the nice kiddie she is Anne
will drive over to the station with
us in her own car and come hack
with all Virginia's marketing pur
veyed to the front door." _
"Everybody works hut Jeanie,
laughed Jeanie herselt. "Hut my
Patrick knows that after a week
end the ice chest and tile larder are
likelv to he empty. t'n Mondays,
moreover, the lady of the house likes
to do the dusting and the (lower cut
ting for Bertha."
This settled the division of labor
and accounted for the fact that Vir
ginia and 1 didn't meet again until
lunch time. I was dreading the
humiliating moment when I'd have
to acknowledge to Jeanie that Val
had forbidden me her room. That
was postponed a while longer, for
after lunch Jeanie asked me to help
her cut the flowers, us she hadn't
been able to got to them in the
forenoon.
It was mid-afternoon before we
finished. Then, after separating a
line basket of asters from her booty,
Jeanie suggested 1 take them to
Yal.
"Your delicate way of suggesting
that maybe I've forgotten our in
valid?" I challenged her. "It Isn't
that. She thinks I'm a meddling
busybody, and yesterday site asked
me to get out—and keep out. I'm
forbidden her room."
Virginia liung her arms across my
shoulder—a rare display of affection
for her.
"Some day Vai will come to her
senses about you." she said, wjthout
embarrassing discussion. "And then
she'll appreciate what it is t know
"Here Is
MySeerei"
"My good complexion it not *n
accident. Mer.y years ago my
grandmother used Palmer's SKIN
SUCCESS Soap. She was noted for
her fine complexion. My mother
used it. and today her complexion
is as good as mine. I inherited the
habit, and the result speaks for
itself. I never have skin-rash,
blotches or chapped skin. Now
you know the reason why."
Palmer's SKIN-SUCCESS Soap is a
Pure, sweet, healthful, antiseptic cleanser,

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
a girl who actually cages enough
about other folks' happiness to try
to get it hack from them when
they've thrown it away. in the
meantime, I'll go up and sit with
our appreciative and charming guest
while her nurse has her two hours
off in the car you furnish, because
you're such a spoil-sport and med
dler!"
"That's the pleasantcst sarcasm
I've ever heard." 1 laughed.
Then, like the thoroughbred she'd
shown herself again. Jeanie said no
more, und left me to establish my
self comfortably in the living room
with a pile of new magazines and
another pile of new apples.
So it was I who received Lane
j and Uncle Ned when Bertha ushered
I them in as quietly as if they'd come
I from a neighboring estate of across
| the border from another country.
I "How is she?" blurted out Lane al
! most in the same breath that both of
j them greeted me. Then lie added, in
, a tone entirely free from alarm:
i "Doesn't look much like a hospital
1 annex. Guess you think I'm a big
| baby to come tearing back because
j the kiddie has a sprained ankle and
I a couple of black and blue spots,
i Don't you?"
"I think you're a devoted hus
i band." 1 countered, avoiding Uncle
i Ned's eyes because 1 suspected be
i realized there was more amiss than
! he'd seen (it to tell Lane,
j "Well, you ■ weren't a devoted
I friend letting her tumble down the
| river bank!" rumbled Lane- in his
I big brown bear fashion. "Couldn't
I you have stopped lier from going
■on a cross-country jaunt in those
! silly high-heeled pumps she will
i wear? Is that the way you look
I oUt i or Tour guests?"
But even as he rumbled out his
i scoldings he beamed at me unsus
i peetingly and concluded by order
ing lite to convey liini to his little
girl at once. I escorted him to the
turn of the hull, pointed to Vat's
door and then lied hack to Uncle
i Ned. 1 was convinced that he and
| 1 had a few things to say to each
t other.
I "Where's my bride?" he demanded,
rising with courtly dignity as 1 came
back to the rootn. "Surely Mollie
I didn't stay up there to ehaperone the
| reunion."
! "She's not in Val's room. She isn't
! here at all She was down yester
| day, but she felt she had to get
I hack to Lacy Willoughby."
"That isn't like Mollie," replied
Uncle Ned shaking his head in per
plexity. 1 telegraphed her to fling
a few odds and ends into a hag and
go to our Vai at once. Mollie never
fails me. 1 don't understand."
"Seeing Vai upset her." 1 replied.
"But Jim said our little girl wasn't
badly hurt. Is poor little Lacy in
dangerous shape?" demanded Uncle
Ned.
"No. Aunt Mollie was Just upset!"
I floundered, torn between what I
wasn't supposed to know and what i
1 surmised about Aunt Mollie's prob- I
able desire to protect Vai even from |
dear Uncle Ned. ' And she wasn't ;
exactly—prepared to stay."
"That's funny. I told Mollie to
bring a bag. Doesn't your sister
in-law hanker after so much com
pany?"
♦ Virginia adored Aunt Mollie. She
wanted her —she begged her—to
stay!'' I replied defensively and then
hacked down, regretting the heat j
that had committed me too far. "But j
Aunt Mollie said she had to carry !
Val's hag. And I suppose, not being j
sure she's got taxis all the time when j
she needed them, she didn't want '
two hags in case she had to carry .
them." , i
"That's a great speech. Anne. And
I can see you mean to reassure me."
replied Uncle Ned, liXing his shrewd
eyes on mo with a craving for the '
truth, which made thorn shine fiercely
under hist beetling brows. "Hut what
I want to know is why my bride I
didn't stand by the girl we both love |
—seeing as how the girl was hurt ,
hud enough, so Jim shouts across a ;
national boundary to get us back to |
her? ' , 1
• What are you trying to hide? j
"I'm not trying to hide anything." ,
I stammered. "I must go fi.,d Jeanie ,
and tell her you're here. And order
some tea."
"Not much little girl. You don't ,
stir from your old uncle until you've
broken your news to htm however,
much it's going to hurt him."
Then suddenly his insistent yet
pleading eyes left my face and
focussed on the doorway. 1 followed :
their glance. !
There on the threshold, stood Lane.

News of Interest to
Military Men
LT. PAINTER TO
LEAD BTH BAND
Veteran of Overseas Service
to Reorganize Musical
Guard Units
l/T. H. O. PAINTER.
It was announced from the Eighth
Infantry Headquarters to-day that
Joseph C. Painter, former leader of
the Three Hundred and Fifteenth In
fantry Band, Seventy-ninth Division
had been secured to ,eud the new
Eighth Infantry Band which will be
located in this city. Lt. Painter was
obtained after considerable effort on
the part of those who were interested
in building up n good military band
for Harrisburg. HQ is moving to this
city, and will open a studio of music
where he will teach private classes in
addition to his work as hand leader.
When it was announced by the Ad
jutant General that the headquarters
of the Eighth Infantry would he locat
ed in Harrisburg. several citizens ap
proached Colonel Staekpole with the
suggestion that an effort should b •
made to create a large well organised
military band. After an investigation
it was found that a band composed of
0 bandsmen and 24 buglers similar
in organization t 0 the bands of all
the combat units during the war was
not authorized by the War Depart
ment for a peace-time army or the
National Guard As the result of sev
eral conferences and much study the
following plan was perfected. First,
that a band of 28 men (authorized for
the peace-time army and National
Guard) could be enlisted. Secondly
that 22 men and 24 buglers could be
added without enlistment. This band
will be used for functions of the
Guard also for commercial work. As
the plans are developing this new or
ganization should become one of mus
ical efficiency and well drilled as only
a military hand ean be. The uniform
and equipment will be the same as
that of the regular army.
Lieutenant Painter's name was sug
gested to Colonel Stuck pole by Cap
tain Francis A. Awl and others, of
this city, who were familiar with his
work and asked, if possible, tliut his
services he obtained for the Eighth
infantry Band. It will be remembered
that it was Lieutenant Painter, who.
uc the outbreak of the war organised
it band at Pottsville and offered its
services to the commanding officer of
the Three Hundred and Fifteenth In
fantry at Camp Meade. Captain Awl
then commanding Headquarters Com
pany of the regiment was detailed to
go to Pottsville to interview Lieuten
ant Painter and inspect his organiza
tion. This body of,'men so impressed
the captain that he took the entire
band to Cam)) Meade, and had it in
dueled into the service. Under Lieu
tenant Painter's leadership the Three
Hundred and Fifteenth Infantry Bund
soon became the best in the Seventy
ninth Division, and was always se
lected for speciui programs and cere-

Nurse Cured by Old
Reliable Medicine
It is a simple, straightforward
story that reveals the health
giving punch that is being deliv
ered by a marvelous medicine,
hacked by fifty years of success.
Mrs. Surah E. Dayton, 24 Lin
den Ave., Mlddletown, N. Y., tells
it in her own words: "About six
teen years ago my daughter, who
was a nurse, took PE-RU-NA for
a nervous breakdown, and was
cured. Next, my brother's family
used it and it cured nic of a bad
cold. I was so weak and miser
able my people, thought I was go
ing to die. ! used one bottle and
now am well and strong and do
not- cough at all."
For protracted colds and per
sistent, deep-seated coughs, there
is nothing any better than PE
RU-NA. By stimulating the di
gestive orguns, regulating the
bowels and purifying the blood,
PE-RU-NA imparts tone to the
raw and quivering nerves, re
stores the mucous membranes to
a healthy condition and gives
strength and vigor to the body.
PE-RU-NA is truly a medicine
with the punch. It is fine to re
build I lie health after protracted
sickness, the grip or Spanish In
fluenza.
Your dealer will sell you this
well-known, time-tried remedy
in either tablet or liquid form.
