Copyrighted. 1909. by Associated Literary l'rens. Hugh Sommers. tearing down the f-nowy road In his huge red automo bile, spied the girl a little distance ahead of him. He pulled the car to a standstill beside her and smiled appre ciatively at her rosy cheeks and her becoming tarn o' shunter uud sweater Jacket. "Hello, neighbor," ht cried. "Uello, Mr. Breakfast Food Man," the girl replied rather grudgingly and somewhat sarcastically. The man grinned, though rather uncomfortably. "I suppose," he said, "that you think the afternoon of May 15, for their j lt.s SOmethlug awful for me to be on home at Springfie'.d, near Eugene. They will make the entire trip in a buggy, traveling by easy stages and enjoying such length of stops in the various towns as they wish.

"And that's the only other brand ou the market that has sales anywhere nearly as big as ours!" At this the girl simply raised ber eyebrows. Then on second thought she said: "Naturally that's your opinion. But we eat wheato at our breakfast ta ble." She turned defiantly and started down the road. "Walt!" cried Hush, jumping from his machine. "Don't go away like this. Good Wheat Land From $20.00 to $25.00 per acre Will raise from 40 to 50 bushels por acre.

I intent rell you that we are soon going to be gin an advertising campaign that will wipe wheato off the market, but you don't understand business." Indeed!" ejaculated the girl. "But you fau understand this," Hugh rushed ou. "You cau under stand me when 1 say I love you. I've loved you from the moment I saw you, and, no matter how you tbluk of me now, no matter what you say. I'm go ing to make you love me and marry me! Just as Fni going to bo success ful in this flR-bt against wheato, I'm going to win you!" A deep, indignant flush suffused the glrPs face. Then she laughed mock ingly. "Really. Mr. Breakfast Food Man," she cried, "you enn't make a girl mar ry you hj- the same tactics you would employ In n business campaign. If yonr endeavors with wheatflaka ore no more successful than your endeavors will be to win me, it will certainly go hard with you." Haughty and stern, she stood with averted fare until Hugh, somewhat abashed, climbed Into his machine and whirled down the rond. But Hugh's buoyaut nature soon re asserted itself. He bad never yet failed In anything that be bad under taken. Why, then, should be fail when It enmo to winning a wife? Confident that when the time really came the girl would capitulate, lie pigeonholed bis courtship for future attention and gave nil his energies Into the prosecution of his campaign against wbcato. For a week or more the campaign progressed In a most satisfactory man ner. Consumers and Jobbers through out the country responded In a won derfully grntlfylnir mnuuer to H'ivh's aggressive ndvprtlslng. He felt that Ills efforts were already crowned with success. His salesmen everywhere re ported tbnt the sales of wheato baa greatly decreased. Then suddenly out of a clear sky came a storm cloud. The wheato eornpuny In page advertisements In many leading newspapers published a complete report of the method by which wheatflaka was manufactured. In this report It was shown that three times during the process the food was touched by human bauds. The wheato company .pointed out to the public the danger uf t STitaminutlou and pollution of the food through this agency and further declared that I wheato was manufnctureJ by the most cleanly process which ccuid possibly be used. The effect of this advertising was to cut the sales of whea'.Tiakn ia half tit once. Hugh lrnniediau'.y ordered the entire process of manufacture changed, but he realized that It would be some time before the food recovered from its slump. For the time his campaign against wheato was abandoned. He was too busy endeavoring to hold bis own busi ness together to bother much about the enemy. It was a rather discouraged Hugh who came upon the girl for the second time as be plowed through the deep snow In bis big car. Arrayed as before, she was standing Just inside the gnte leading to ber borne. The house where she and her widowed mother lived was a big affair, n half mile or so down the road from Hugh's home. The girl actually smiled ns she saw Hugh's disconsolate and haggard face. "Why, It's the breakfast food man," she laughed. "Have you come to mar ry me, Mr. Food?" she asked gnyly. "Not yet," rerlied the man doggedly. "But I'm going to some day. Heavens, how I love you!" he cried as he gazed hungrily at her flushed face. "I never knew what It was before to love. Now, when I can't have you right when 1 want you my whole being cries aloud for you." - The girl, her face all aflame, laughed again, this time rather constrainedly. "Iieally you are a very original lover, Mr. Food," she said. "None of the oth er men has ever said such things ta mo so unconcernedly." ' Who are the other men?" demanded Hugh fiercely. Then he laughed at lil.usclf. "I'm hardly In a nosltion now to ask," he went ou. "But I'm going to win out. I'm going to win at that fac tory, and then I'll come and win you!" He Jerked the lever forward, and the great car shot away. However, despite Hugh's confident prediction, he found it exceedingly dif ficult to win out in bis fight against wheato. In fact, the campaign went j so severely against him that In a short j time he found himself facing failure. ! It was then that the girl rose upper most hi his thought to the exclusion even of his business worries. Finally j doggedly he went to see the girl her self. She entered the room In her home, where he awalAed ber, with a smile on i her lips. She became serious instantly. ! though, when she saw his haggard j face and the new lines lately etched I in It. 1 "Dear," said Hugh abruptly, "I've ! come to you now In a different mood. 1 For the first time in my life I face de- ' feat in my business, and I know now I realize that I cannot win you. "It is to tell yon that I still love you and that some time, when I have be gun life anew, I'm going to return nnd try, as best I can, to win you. 1 want to apologize for the manner In whL'h I have courted you heretofore." For a moment the girl looked at him; then, averting ber eyes, she spoke quickly: " i know exactly how you stand In your business," she said. "I am the cause of It. Don't interrupt me.

"Yon need lose but little, after all," Raid the girl. "The demand for wheato has Increased, so that additional fac tories are imperative. We will take over your factories for a price that will let them cut, or we will consoli date with ynu." "Bother the business!" cried Hugh, Jumping to his feet "You you don't hate me?" "No," murmured the girl. "Then Is it can you possibly" The girl looked upwnrd at him slyly. What Hugh saw there gave him cour age. "We'll consolidate!" he cried, great joy In his voice, and he ratified the consolidation with a kiss. Biliousness and Constipation. For years I was troubled with biliousness and constipation, which made life miserable for me. My appe tite failed me. I lost my usual force and vitality.
