Wilson Jangled the big bunch of keys as he Inserted one of the number Into the lock of a door on a large empty house, turned the key and threw the door open. "Step In, Miss Ilouse Ilunter For An other," he exclaimed, with a magnifi cent wave of hla hand. Dorothy White laughed aa Bhe en tered. "1 only hope Bertha likes the "house we pick out for her," she replied.; "Bertha'a the first prospective bride 1 rer knew that couldn't find time to go j house bunting herself. Aud Jo la Just ; as bad. It's a wonder to me they ever j found time enough to decide to get married." "While we." assented Wilson, "not eoly have time enough to investigate innumerable dwellings for them, but also have so much leisure that wej Bertha and Jo would be charmed by eould get married several times if we the little house, and nothing would do dreg but he must see the real estate agent .-Which we don't." the girl promptly; nd optimum H. The eM uemurrcu ai luia oi mm, uui jwii finally convinced her that Bertha ami Jo would be mightily pleased at their action In securing such a desirable 1 home for them. The real estate dealers otnee was and the fSino will be opposite" the win dow, with Its side to the wall, ao that Bertha can piny and yet see Jo while he smokes. And then that open Are- thlnk how cozy It will be for them In the winter?' "Tes, that would be all right for some couples," snld Wilson, "but hem estly, Dorothy, do you think that and Bertha with all their money would be content to begin life In a humble cottage like this, In the hum ble way you suggest!" "Why, Harry, of course they will!" the girl exclaimed in a hurt tone. "When they see what a dear house It la they'll Just fall In love with It, as I have." "Maybe," said Wilson dubiously, "but it strikes me that It would be more suited to well, say, for example. a couple like us If we were married. The rent of this house can't be much, and I haven't got much money. You're in love with the house, and I'm lu love with It too. Now" "Goodness!" she exclaimed. "We'll have to hurry if we're going to In vestigate all those other houses!" Somewhat sulkily Wilson locked the door of the little house. But be and the girl visited no more houses that afternoon, for Wilson very suddenly became converted to the idea thut cried. "I'm going to be a bachelor! girl," she added, with a certain air of j defiance. Wilson laughed. General Demand of the Well-informed of tho World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because Us 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 ita ex cellcnt combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co, proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remark able success. . That is one 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 Call fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sole by all leading druggists.

Dor othy, blushing prettily, stopped him. "Ife a cousin's privilege," declared Wilson. "But you're only a third cousin." "That's a good enough excuse," de clared Wilson and continued as though Then the couple started on their jour ney to Bertha's home, where they would acquaint her with what they had done. "They'll be very happy there," said Dorothy somewhat wistfully as they left the office. , "Sore they will," assented Wilson. "Any one could be happy in a little house like that." For some reason Wilson's mood haJ become rather Joyous. He solicitously took Dorothy's arm and skillfully guid ed her through the crowds. It was be coming dusk, and the street lights were not yet out. They turned Into a side street on a short cut to Bertha's home, which was a big, ornate affair. It looked bl'ataut and uncomfortable. The little house from which Dorothy and Wilson had come by the comparison to them seemed much more desirable. Bertha had not yet arrived when they entered, but a moment after they had seated themselves in the drawing room she (lew in. Aa usual, she seemed very busy and was In a tremendous hurry. "Oh, I'm so glad you came, people!" Bertha exclaimed. "I won't have to put you people to any more trouble best to Ho! or easiest to do, 'or adMse- ablest to do, or profltablest to do, but they never, so far as I hear them talk, ever nk what .It Is Just to do.

More than half of mankind over 60 years of age suffer from kidney and bladder disorders, usually enlarge ment of prostate glands. This is both painful and dangerous, and Foley's Kidney Cure should be taken at the first sign of danger, as it cor rects irregularities and has cured many old men of this disease. Mr. Rodney Burnett, Rockport, Mo., writes: I suffered with enlarged prostate gland ' and kidney trouble for years and after taking two bottles of Foley's Kidney Cure, I feel bet ter than I have for twenty years, al though I am now 91 years old."
