In all his ex perience in the drug business, he never dispensed over liis counter a i rheumatic remedy that, gave such universal and quick relief." He further stated that Munyon's remedies would be given the most prominent position in his store and that any druggist that failed to rec ognize the merits of this wonderful Remedy and failed to recommend und push it was out for money rather tliun satisfied customers.

In the 1 ! beginning his letters were a source of i j excitement to the recipient. | When the first came she read it! i eagerly, then handeti it to Ruth, i "It is wonderful to be loved like, | that, isn't it?" the engaged girl com • mented. "Just see, Ruthie, what he ' says. Love letters are certainly \ I mighty nice things to get." Until shrank from the sheet of : paper thrust toward her. | "Oh, my dear," she protested, "you , ! must not show any one the letters , ! that Hugh writes you. They are : I meant for your eyes only." | She had averted her guze, for she j felt as if she would be taking that j which was not hers where she. to j read what this man had written to ; the woman he loved. But she could' ' not avoid seeing three at the • > top of the first page. | "My own darling," she had read. And then she had turned away with : a sensation of guilt. | Doris looked surprised, "t declare, ! RUth," she complained, "you are ' queer! 1 have alway wanted to see a , I real love letter, and here you get the I chance to read one and will not. I do | not think," with a little pout, "that ! you are very complimentary in re- 1 fusing the confidence 1 am willing to j ' repose in you." j "I am sorry, my dear," Ruth said | gently. "But I cannot read a letter, i that was not intended for me." j "Well, you are queer anyway." her i sister reiterated. "Of course, 1 - | would not let anyone but 'you and i' mother see Hugh's letters. But 1 cannot understand why you should not look at them. If there was any- j I thing especially private in one of ! j them, I would not show it, of course." i I Especially private! Ruth reflected. Hugh had addressed Doris as his , I "own darling," and she had not felt ' j that the words were of too intimate I j a nature to display to anyone in all I the world. Of course, her mother I would read them! A Srntimantul Delight, This surmise was correct, and Doris's love letters were a genuine delight to the sentimental mother. | | Once Ruth attempted to protest on i the subject. i ' Mother," she ventured, "do you j think it quite fair of you to see all | that Hugh w rites to Doris?" Her parent regarded her blandly, i "Certainly, if she is willing to have | Jme do so. 1 have never read more i sweetly affectionate epistles. You would not have a young girl keep anything from her mother, would I you." "1 certainly would!" Ruth ox j claimed. "And 1 believe that Hugh I wduld, too." "You cannot understand the close : ness of the tie between Doris and me." Mrs. Courtney said with dig- ' Ruth had a wild impulse to laugh. Her mother's sentimentality made it impossible for her to appreciate that Doris's love affairs were not to be shared with her. Yet, if Doris did not mind, she, Ruth, had no right to object. But if Doris really loved Hugh, could stie take her engagement as such a matter-of-fact affair? The doubt assailed the younger girl often during the months that followed. Summer came and slipped away. The Courtneys went to the C'atskills for two months. Hugh was too busy at the factory to cotne home his father said. He, himself, went out'to Minneapolis in early .Septem ber to see how matters were pro gressing. He reported that Hugh was looking thin, but declared he felt perfectly well. Sometimes Daniel Rodney would talk to Ruth Courtney of his son's prospects. He liked Ruth and she showed an intelligent Interest in everything pertaining to Hugh. The father found Doris less interested, or less capable of appreciating business conditions. Hl* Father Speak*. "I have not urged the boy to re turn." Mr. Rodney said to Ruth one evening when the sisters were dining with laiura and himself.
