That's the beauty of Castorla; its gentle Influence seems just what Is needed. It does all that castor oil might accomplish, without shock to the system. Without the evil taste. It's delicious! Being purely vegeta able, yon can give it as often as there's sign of colic; constipation; diarrhea; or need to aid sound, nat ural sleep. Just one warning; it Is genuine Fletcher's Castorla that physicians recommend. Other preparations may be Just as free from ail doubtful drugs, but no child of this writer's is going to test them I Besides, the book on care and feeding of babies that comes With Fletcher's Castorla is worth its Weight in gold.

"Then for the sake of your educa tion, I hope Pam Schwenckton doesn't find out what he's harboring In his family! But really, Miss Brhwenck ton," added Marvin earnestly, a so licitous note in his voice, "I'm afraid that with the sort of trustees we have In this district a teacher like yon can't hold down this Job long I I'd hate like the dickens to have your bigoted old trustees fire you, so let me warn you do be a bit prudent If It's In yon to be I I've been hearing complaints" "Of mr "from the parents.

"Anything I say will be well received In that garb I I'm trying to collect suitable shoes and hat to go with the frock, swing the hard-boiled shoes and hat Pd Just Invested In, before I'd dreamed of buying this dainty frock, would be a thought too harsh. If I'd only known," she lamented, "that I was going to buy that luscious geor gette, I'd have bought entirely dif ferent shoes and hat I Isn't It tragic they don't match?" she walled. "Good Lord, are you confusing a teachers' Institute with a fashion show? I asked you what you're going to talk about to those teachers?"

Careful experiments have brought out the fact that light gray, such ss thst worn by the West Point csdets, Is the color first lost to sight In the field.

"flood night," he said abruptly and before she quite realised he was going, he had disappeared In the dimness of the road. St. Croix Crelghton and his father, dining at the Klts-Carlton In Philadel phia, were discussing a certain matter not at all connectod with the business of the directors' rotating which they had como to the city to attend. If the Infatuated eyes or Nettle flchwenckton could have beheld Rt Croix Just now his evening clothes making hlra look taller, more slender, more than ever like the young god of her romantic air castles, she would Indeed have thought her "honor" a small price to pay for any least no tice such a divine creature might he stow upon her. Little did that ruam ored maiden dream that at that very moment her name was on the sacred Hps of her demigod, her Image In his thought St. Croix, In his desperation that afternoon, after Meely's amsilng re buff, determined, on his way to his car, that he would pique her Into a regard for him by exciting her Jeal ousy; she herself had given him the hint when she had explained her si lence about the teacher's boarding with them. lie would make love to that school teacher under her very eyes! Meely should be made to see how other girls In her station, or In any station, for that matter, Jumped at his nod I And then he had seen, ss he sup posed, the school teacher In his broth er's company; coming out of her schoolhouse hours after the closing time, apparently in a relation with him of the utmost friendliness. This was the third time In ten days that he had seen Marvin come out of that schoolhouse! Ills official duties cer tainly did not take hlra there so often as that St. Croix was genuinely wor ried over the circumstance, as well at Irritated at being foiled In hit plan to make Meely Jealous of the teacher, which of course he could not do If Marvin were Intrigued with ber.

"Within limits," St Croix doubtfully admitted. "Had breeding would be a limit for him." "I wouldn't trust him I He'd be Just fool enough to think he could raise her to his level.

Never got his crazy radi cal alant from me!" "Mother's not radical." "She's tolerant Tolerant of any thing!" "Much too tolerant of Marvin's freaklshness!" Bt Croix grumbled. "Yes, If she'd only stand squarely with me about the boy " Mr. Crelgh ton paused and shook his gray head. "No no use. What good has It done, my taking the extreme stand I have? even ordering my own ton out of my house!" he exclaimed, a pained look In his eyes that made St Croix, who was fond of his father, corse his brother In hit heart "I thought he'd come hack cured In a month at most I But what does he do?
