Al the female of the shop ping species is certainly friskier than the ma,le." As Dicky paraphrased Kipling fatuous line he laughed gaily down at me Injhis.old teasing way. He and Alfred Durkee had just corns into the waiting room of the Penn sylvania station to meet Alfred's mo ther and jme after our day' shop ping toari I "Here ihey've trotting around all day, and they look as fresh as dais ies. Wonder what we'd look like after chasing around shops all day. "Better! not imagine. Dicky-bird." Alfred Dorkee drawled. "Entirely DELCO-LIGHT Thm complete Electric Llgt ?

"Well girlsl' he bowed merrily to his mo- ther, "V here do you want to go? Cabaret, table d'hote or luncheon counter," , "Liinch counter!!" sniffed Mrs. Durkee, and then she laughed mer rily. It is amusing to watch Mrs. Durkee when her son is bantering her. She always takes his Jests ser iously for about half a minute. Then as "ais real meaning dawns upon her, her eyes sparkle and her glrfish laugh rings out. i) "Please, kind gentlemen, no cab aret," I begged. "Let's go where we can get something decent to eat and then bs allowed to eat it in peace." '"'"That's right," chimed in Mrs. Durkee. "At those places they whisk your plate away from you be fore you've fairly looked at It. But I want a place with a good orches tra." she added decidedly. "I like to listen to music while I eat." "Aren't we refined?" mocked Dicky. "I, guess it will have to be Broquin's." he turned to his friend "Broquin's it is." affirmed Alfred Durkee. "And if we're going, let's start." "I'll run on ahead and comman rrer a taxi," Dicky volunteered, and we were soon on our way to the res taurant which held such painful memories for me. I Ira d been able to repress a start when Dicky named Broquin's.' But every beat of tha taxi's engkie helped to bring back the dramatic momenst through which I. lived afthe little restaurant and when Jack Bickett, Aprernble to the Tante, Acceptable tp the Stomach, Readily Assimilated This real iron tonic gives "vigor and tone to all the organs and functions, and establishes the conditions of health.

I had married Dicky daring 'Jack absence, and Jack, the only brother I had ever known, had not known of the marriage when he asked me to dine with him. Because of my cow ardice I did not tell him until forced to do so by his revelation of his Ionic concealed love for me. I could see! his stricken white face again as I spoke the words. "I am .married. Jack. I have been married over a month." "There is No Constancy" Then the revulsion came and I al most laughed aloud as I thought of all the remorse I had wasted upon Jack, fte had 'gone to the war be cause of me, but had found his real fate In a French hospital in the per son of Katlierine Sinnot. the little nur?e who was my friend. His face these days was far from grlef-strick- h. it was radiant with happiness. and I knew that Jack's only feel in? toward me was that of a brother. I had a shrewd suspicion, too, that his brotherly affection was somewhat held in check by his pretty little fi ancee, and I could not blame her. "Men are alike." I whispered to myself banally. "There Is no con stancy in any of them," and the memory of my husband's face smil ing at "Edith." who while he bought her a costly hatln Hambcl's bu.t s Few hours before, gave me a quick stabbing pain. But I allowed no hint of my feel ings to escape me. I laughed and "hatted, drawing .all of them Into onversation which I kept as far away from our shopping experience of the afternoon as possible. It was no part of my plan that Mrs. Dur kee should mention Hambel's pre maturely. So I talked of the weather, the ad- adjoining houses in Marvin which we and the Durkees were thlnkinr of purchasing oh. the mockery of It now,, when In all probability the next few hours would see Dicky and me at the final parting of the way! even retailed at great length our ludicrous experience of the night of the blizzr.rd. A Very Different Madge. Dicky frowned a bit at that reml- niscense. T knew he id not quite fancy my description of his plough ing through the drifts laden with bundles', which because of his anger at the snow-stalled, taxi he had childishly refused to surrender to the garage man. But all that vas petty and malicious in me' enjoyed his embarrassment, and I purposely spun out the story until after we had reached Broquin's As I took my ueat at one end of the wall tables upon which Mrs. Dur kee insisted I had a sudden tragic glimpse of the difference between f.he warm-hearted impulsive girl who had come there wlih her brother cousin, mistaken as sh3 had been, and the coldly cynical malicious crea ture I felt myself to be.

Mystery Surrounds Absence of Ed Plogg, Dallas Man DALLAS. Or., Oct. 23. (Special to The Statesman.) Sheriff John W. Orr and the police authorities "of the county have been busy the last few days trying to locate Ed. Plogg, a resident of this cily who disappear ed from the home of Mrs. H. S Smith on Sunday, October 12 and who has not yet been beard from. George Plogg of Portland, a broth er of the missing man, informed the county authorities that he was de sirous of locating his brother, stat ing that he believed he was mentally unbalanced and that he might harm himself. Plogg Is of the opinion thai a woman is following him seeking to obtain possession of his mone; and this has preyed so on his mini! that he has been acting strangely foi several months. He had been a res ident of Dallas for some time, having charge of an apple orchard just south of here belonging to T. J. Leonard of Portland. He evidently started tc harvest the crop in view of the fact that there are quantities of apple ooxes piled under the trees while large piles of gathered fruit cover the ground. Plogg is about 39 years old and weighs about 160 pounds. He it slightly grey and looks much older than he is. To Cure a Cold in One Day Take LAXATIVE BROMO Cll'ININK (Tablets.)
