"I suppose that all this seems very
tiresome to you," said pretty Nelly
Prlggs as she slipped Into a chair be
side Carol. "It's not much like your
swell parties In the city. They must ue
fraud."
Carol smiled and nodded an absent
minded asseut She was beginning to
hate the farce she was playing. Ill
health had sent her back to Broadwa
ter, and her old associates in the little
town had taken it for granted that be
rause her few dresses were well tai
lored and her feminine knlckknacks
were better than those sold at the Bos
ton store she had prospered mightily.
She had not told them that the dress
es were last year's styles purchased at
the bargain counter after Infinite sac
rifice and that the knlckknacks which
seemed so precious In Broadwater eyes
were the odds and ends of remnant
ales. She had permitted them to be
lieve that her life was one round of
gayety and it was all that they in their
wistful Imaginings pictured.
She was begiunlng to hate herself
for the acted lie. At first It had been
tery pleasant to receive the homage of
her associates, to read the nice things
that were said about her In the Broad
water Bulletin and to speak grandly
of "in town, but now she found that
it had set her upon a pedestal apart
from the rest, and she was minded to
step down and mingle with the crowd.
Only two days remained of her va
cation, and this dance had been ar
ranged in her honor, marking the ter
mination of a round of festivities. As
the guest of honor Carol shared her
dances impartially with all applicants,
dividing a dance between three or four
of the boys, but Nelly's remark had
dampened her . pleasure In her belle
ship. It was not at all like the parties in
the city. The town hall was no more
dingy than the places at which were
held the only dances she attended.
More, It was clean and bright and no
"WE'LL SAYS IT !" CKIED SETH JUBILANTLY.
Insistent calls of the waiter jarred the
sensibilities and reminded the merry
makers that patronage of the bar was
considered indispensable.
A piano and coruet constituted the
orchestra, and they were playing last
year's selections. Carol smiled as she
contrasted their playing with the fif
teen piece bands at the summer parks
near town, but the atmosphere was
altogether different, and with a sigh
she realized that in a few days she
would be going back to the tawdry
glitter of the city, where she was
only one of the lookers on at the real
events and where her own field war,

Seth Morey came up to claim the
first half of tie next waltz, and as she
placed her hand In his he said, as
Nelly Brlgjrs had done before him:
"I . suppose It all seems foolish to
you. I guess you're used to men. lu
dress suits and all that."
Carol thought of the men who
danced with their hats on the back of
their heads and ouly smiled In reply.
"I'm thinking of coming to the city
next fall," continued Seth. "I guest I
need a little polishing up."
"You're better off where you are,"
said Carol wearily. "If you'll take my
advice you'll stay here."
"Of course we can't all be aa clever
as you and get ahead as fast," be said
stiilly. "There's Tommy Madigan. I
think be has the Becond chance at
this dance."
Carol knew as well as Seth that
tommy was not next la turn, but she
accepted the exchange and went
whirling about the hall with him,
while Seth sat In a corner glowering
upon the crowd of dancers and fierce
ly assured himself that he was foolish
to Imagine that a girl like Carol would
care for a country follow like himself
after she bad met so many smart men
In the city.
Humbly he admitted the truth of her
suggestion that he could not make
progress In town, and he succeeded in
Incoming thoroughly miserable.
He was glad when the two piece or
chestra struck up "Ilome, Sweet
Home," and the girls hurried to the
dressing room for their wraps. He
waited at the door for Carol.
"May I walk home with you?" he
asked as she came from the dressing
room in her smart coat and furs.
"If if you won't be cross again," as
sented Carol, slipping her arm through
his. "You know very well," she added
as they descended the stairs, "that
Tommy Madigan was not next ou my
list, and yet you got angry because 1
urged you to stay here at homo In
stead of trying your, luck In town."
"I know 1 was foolish." he asserted,
a little sadly. "I'd stand no chance
with those city bred fellows. You al
ways were clever and could get
ahead." .
"It Isn't that," explained Carol. "I'm
going to tell you all about it, Seth. It's
all been a big mistake. Everybody up
here supposes that I am doing so well
that I can afford to come home for a
rest without waiting for the summer
vacation. That's not it at all"
"But you're here, and It's only April."
be reminded her.
Tm here," she went on, "because 1
broke down trying to live and dress
myself and do everything on $7 a
week. I had to have nice clothes or 1
could not get a place. I had to put my
money on my back instead of Into my
food. They have no use for a girl who
does not convey the Impression that
the office is a prosperous one. I'm sick
and tired of It all, and I loathe the Idea
of going back."
"You wouldn't care to stay on here,"
he declared Incredulously. "You don't
have half the fun. This was a big
event tonight for ns. Just contrast It
with the times you have In town."
"I have; that's what makes me so
miserable." she confessed. "In town I
don't go to the great balls you read
about unless it's to stand outside In
the street and catch a glimpse of the
rich people as they go in. My balls are
in halls smaller than this town hall,
and they're horrid. When I go to the
theater, it's to climb to the top gallery
to hang over the rail and see only a
part of the stage."
"And you'd rather stay here In
Broadwater?" he asked. "You'd rath
er live in this sleepy old town than in
the city, with all the lights and life?'
Carol looked about her. An April
rain that afternoon had Jeft the air
cool and sweet. The scent of moist
earth and of growing things filled the
air with fragrance, and the moon
touched with kindly light the little
huddle of houses gleaming white
against the soft new green of the bud
ding trees.
Then she thought of the city, with
Its noisome streets, the trenches
smelling of gas pipes and sewers, of
the reeking pavements and the harsh
glare of the electric lights.
She contrasted the quiet of the night
with the hurrying, Jostling throng of
humanl.y, men and women who never
were rested, who thought only of
themselves and had no time for oth
ers.
"You don't know the city," she said,
with a littje sob in hej voice. "It'B a

The
General "Demand
of the Ycll-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians coulJ
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to tho system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical linos and relics
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is ono of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents

sucks your llfeblond and throws yon

"Then why go Imck?" asked Seth
quietly. "I haven't spoken before be
cause I thought that you never would
be content with Broadwater again, but
if you want to stay, dear, can't you
stay-as my wife?"
The glad light sprang to Carol's
eyes, but tho eternal feminine within
her rose. It seemed too easy a sup
render.
"I have the return half of tuy tick
et," she objected. "I can't waste that."
"I'll get one, too," he suggested,
"und we'll go together on our honey
moon." "I'd like to go back to the city-for a
honeymoon," said Carol shyly. "It
seems a shame to waste tho ticket."
"We'll save it!" cried Seth Jubilant
ly. "I'm grateful to the city sluce It
sent you back home to me."
Satisfied.
"Please, sir," piped the tiny cus
tomer, whose head scarcely reached the
counter, "father wants some oak var
nish." "How much does your father want,
my little man?" asked the shopman.
"Father said you was to fill this,"
said the little fellow, handing over a
half gallon can.
It was duly filled and handed over.
"Father will pay you on Saturday,"
said the reclpieut casually.
And then the face of the shopman
grew dark.
"We don't give credit here." he said.
"Gimme back the can!"
Meekly the little lad handed back the
can, which was emptied and handed
back to him, with a, scowl.
"Thank you. sir," he said. "Father
said you'd be sure to leave enough
round the sides for blm to finish the
Job he wants to io, 'and I think you
'ave, sir." Ixmdou Scraps.

A reporter recently took a Journey pf
considerable length for the purpose of
Interviewing a rising literary light ns
to his next novel. On reaching the
house he discovered the author seated
in his garden engaged in earnest con
versation with a little boy who had a
large towel pinned around bis neck.
The author received his visitor cor
dially, but seemed rather absentmlnded.
"Are you willing to tell me a little

The literary man clicked a pair of
