She finds men react lnstantlv to her iihvsirxl en other men come Into her life, tak ing; ner to dances. She begins to doubt the advantage of physical charms lar on an automobile ride. George Karris warns her that her father' f health Is failing rapidly. She is con trite over her neglect of George and her father. IN'OW GO ON WITH THE STORY THREE days after her conver sation .with George Harris In vuv awi (lull 9 iftiirai died. He was sitting In his easy chair and had been smoking. Hi head dropped forward, and he breathed heavily. Betty's mother remarked. "Sheeee! He la asleep!" Almost as sbs spoke his breath-. lng stopped, and he slept. Indeed the long sleep from which there Is no awakening Betty's mother went into hy wassterlc, shrieking for him to come back to ner. Betty was unnatur ally calm. She telephoned for the doctor and went next door for George Harris, remembering that he said to call on him at anjr time GeorgB came at once. Placing his hand on Mr. Brown's chest he aald. "Betty, take your mother upstairs. I will send my mother in at once." Betty was unable to get her mother to leave the room until Mrs. Harris came in to help her Two hours afterwards her mother was Quieted to some extent George had received the doctor's certificate of death and called the head of her father's lodge and the undertaker had removed the body. i The next three days were a bad dream. She left everything to George. Working with the head of the lodge, he arranged the fun eral at the neighborhood church they attended intermittently. Mr. Brown had left no will. In the small cafe in the cigar store he had a Iffa insurance policy for five thousand dollars. George took charge of the contents of the safe and. in conjunction with the head of Mr. Brown's lodge, they arranged to sell the cigar store for twelve hundred dollars, a low price, but the only offer they had The store had prospered only be cause of the good will of Mr. Brown's customers, and this die 1 with him. Mrs. Brown put the money for the store in the hank and at once bought herself an attractive out fit of mourning. She was highly indignant at Betty's refusal to put on black. She said Betty had no reaped for her father's memory. In the course of the next month tha Insurance company received the proofs they required, and had handed Mrs. Brown her five thou-! sand dollar check. When the doc ! tor and the undertaker were paid' there was little but the five thou sand left in the .bank.

Her mother, however, was strongly opposed to this. "Why try to find anything to do?" she asked tearfully. "Hit en't I enough to endure without your leaving me In the house alone where I never take a step without being reminded of your -0or. dear, dead father?" "But, mother, we have only 'ive thousand dollars! That won't last long." "It will last for years! Before that you will be married and leave me all alone in the world!" She closed the conversation with a flood of tears which effectually silenced Betty. She had another scene when ihe resumed her neglected danc ing practice. Her mother came to her room one morning and found her going through her routines. "Betty Brown, have you no heart!" she exclaimed. "Your poor father not cold In his grave, and you doing thjse wicked dances again. It Is like dancing on his coffin!" She burst Into her ever raady tears. "Mother. it was father who took an interest in my dancing. He would not want me to neglect it and throw away all the money he spent on it! I'm not heartless. I'm doing this to keep from think ing of less pleasant things!" "Trying to forget your poor fa ther!" sobbed Mrs. Brown. I am remembering my nice fa ther as he was. We must go on living. Nothing would make fa ther happier than to know that I am living as he wanted me to." "You blame me for being sorry he is gone! Poor dear, up in heav en! He knows I cannot help but cry while you dance!" "Mother, I'm not going to dance in public. No one will know I am dancing unless you tell them. shall keep in practice, though. ror I may need to dance for our living, if. you don't let me work at something else!" , ' "Your father dead and you awa from home with some wicked show!"

It took her months to gat over It and borome normal again. Al though Botty cried, less than her mother, she was more depressed. One Sunday, some eight or nine months later, she went for a ride with Harry Ford. He asked her what she was going to do. "Harry, I don't know how to do anything." she answered. "Mother will not let me work, and cries ev ery time I suggest getting a job." "How much money have you got?" he asked, bluntly. "Only father's life insurance, five thousand dollars!" "Bad stuff!" Is It in your nama or your mother's?" "My mother's, of course. Why did you ask?" "Better keep an eye on her. Somebody will gyp her out of it." "I guess there Is no danger. Mother knows nothing -of money. and always asks at the bank about everything." Home 'from her ride, Betty found a middle-aged man at her house talking with her mother. She introduced him as Mr. Bratn ard, a friend of her father's, who had called to see how she was get ting along. Betty did not remember hearing her father speak of Mr. Brainard. and she did not like his looks. It seemed Incredible that her father had liked a man of his type. He was meticulously dressed, and his manners were so perfect as to seem affected; but he showed such a genuine interest In them, and seemed so kind, that she was un certain. His call was soon over, but be fore he left he assured them that he was glad to be of service to them, and left his card with her mother. He also insisted that Mrs. Brown not give herself over to grieving. She was a young woman and must go on with her life. He was sure Mr. Brown would not ap prove of her crying so much. Betty looked at his card. He was an investment banker, which re-assured her of his standing in the community. Her mother was critical of her father s lodge mem bers, who had not called as often as sne tnougni iucj auumu. Brainard told her he would come around some afternoon and lane them out for a drive.

A Lucky is always refreshing. My tense nerves relaxed, my aching throat was soothed and the whole thrilling adventure just seemed a part of the day's work. As time goes by, and as I look back to that memorable night, I'll always remember the wonderful taste of that welcome Lucky, As I went around to visit the men we'd rescued, I found many of them enjoying Luckies, too. We really couldn't wait to get back to our ship and 'Luckies.' As an actual fact in returning to the 'America' I noticed one of our men rowing with one hand and lighting a 'Lucky with the other. There's no flavor to equal toasted tobaccos, and I always prefer Lucky Strikes. There's wisdom in the saying: 'Reach for a Lucky instead of a sweet.'

He took them pasta pretty subdivision two miles out. He said he had bought a farm there and cut it up Into city lots and sold it through the real estate firm whose name appeared on the few unsold lots. He had already made almost a hundred thousand dollars out of the transaction, and had many lots left. All he had Invested was twenty thousand dollars, and had sold lots long before the mort gage on the farm had come due Mrs. Brown and Betty were both very much impressed with his story of the transaction and the fact that father had such wealthy and influential friend. Betty thought of asking him for a position In his office, but decid ed to wait until her mother was not present. A week later Betty came home to find Mr. Brainard bad taken her mother for another ride. When her mother returned she was all aflutter. She had discovered the reason Mr. Brainard was so sym pathetic was because he had lost his wife about a year before, and so was able to sympathize with her. He had asked her if he could not come around and talk to her. "I suppose the neighbors will talk, because your father has only EXACTLY SUITS KLDEIILY PERSONS Teasing, harassing coughs, tick ling in the throat, and exhausting, nervous hacking are immediately relieved by Foley's Honey and Tar Compound.

"I am a young woman, and not bad looking," said Mrs. Brown. "I am going to diet again, al though Mr. Brainard says that when a woman reaches middle age she either gets plump or skin ny.
