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

finally convinced her that Bertha ami
Jo would be mightily pleased at their
action In securing such a desirable

The real estate dealers otnee was

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. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

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

Men Past Sixty in Danger.
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." T.
