PRUDENCE FINDS HERSELF BLUSHING AMD BREATHLESS
EVERY TIME SHE LOOKS INTO THE EYES OF
HER HANDSOME RESCUER
Mr. Starr, widower Methodist minister at Mount Mark, la., has five
charming daughters. Prudence, the eldest, keeps house for him. Fairy
is a college freshman. Carol and Lark, twins, are in high school.
Constance is the “baby.” The activities of the Starr girls—Pru
dence’s work, Fairy’s school affairs, the pranks of the youngsters—•
and the family perplexities, make the story. It is simply a recital
of homely incidents glorified by affection. The preceding install
ment described the accident suffered by Prudence when she went for
an early-morning bicycle ride and her rescue by a strange young mun.

CHAPTER IX.
Father Starr Reads the Signs.
And In the meanwhile, at the par-
nonage, Fairy was patiently getting
breakfast. "Prudence went out for
an early bicycle ride, so the members
wouldn't catch her,” she explained to
the family. “And she isn't back yet.
She’ll probably stay out until after-
noon, and then ride right by the gro

Oh, father, I did forget your
eggs again, I am afraid they are too
hard. Here, twins, you carry in the
oatmeal, and we will eat No use to
wait for Prudence, it would be like
waiting for the next comet.”
Indeed, It was nearly noon when a
small, one-horse spring wagon drove
into the parsonage yard.
Mr. Starr
was in his study with a book, but he
heard a piercing shriek from Connie,
and a shrill "Prudence !" from one of
the twins. He was downstairs in three
leaps, and rushing wildly ont to the
little rickety wagon. And there was

The doctor came in, and bandaged

had dinner—they tried to remember
to call It luncheon, but never succeed
ed! After that the whole parsonage
family grouped about the little single
bed in the cheery sitting room.
"Whose coat is this, Prudence?”
asked Connie.
"And where in the world did you
get these towels and silk shirts?” add
ed Fairy.
Prudence blushed most exquisitely.
"They are Mr. Harmer’s,” she said,
and glanced nervously at her father.
“Whose?”, chorused the family.
, “If you will sit down and keep still,
I will tell you all about it But you
must not interrupt me. What time is

“Two o’clock.”
“Oh, two. Then I have plenty of
time," and in her own frank way, she
told the story.
“Then Mr. Davis came along with
his cart,” she concluded, “and Jerry—
er—Harmer, you know, helped put me
in, and the cart was so small they both
had to walk."
“Where is he now?” “Is he young?”
“Is he handsome?” “Did he look rich?”
“Don't be silly, girls. He went to
the hotel, I suppose. Anyhow, he left
us as soon as we reached town. He
said he was in a hurry, and bad some
thing to look after. His coat was un-
derneath me in the wagon, and he
wouldn’t take it out for fear of hurt

Already, In the eyes of the girls, this
Jerry—er—Harmer, had taken unto
himself all the interest of the affair.
“He’ll have to come for his coat,"
said Lark. “We’re bound to see him.”
“Where does he live? What was he
doing in the hickory grove?” inquired
Mr. Starr with a strangely sinking
heart, for her.eyes were alight with
new and wonderful radiance.
“He lives in Des Moines. He was
just walking into town, and took a
short cut through the grove.”
“Walking! From Des Moines?"
Prudence flushed uncomfortably. "I
didn’t think of that,” she said. “But
I do not see why he should not walk
if he likes. He’s strong and athletic,
and fond of exercise.
I guess he’s
. enty able to walk if he wants to.
I'm sure he’s no tramp, father, If that
is what you are thinking.”
“I am not thinking anything of the
kind. Prudence,” he said with dignity.
“But I do think it rather strange that
a young man should set out to walk
from Des Moines to Mount Mark. And
why should he be at It so early In the
morning? Doesn’t he require sleep, as
the rest of us do?”
“How should I know? I guess If he
likes to be out in the morning when it
is fresh and sweeL It is all right I
like the morning myself. He had as
much right out early as I had. His
clothes were nice, and he is a Harvard
graduate, and bls shoes were dusty,
but not soiled or worn. Anyhow, he

to ask if he is a tramp, you can do It”

INSURANCE
Against Sudden Death.
Before an Insurance Company will
take a risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and report
whether you are a good risk. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog,
you suffer from backache, sick-head-
ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and
pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
gout. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times a night. Thia is the time you
should consult some physician of wide
experience—such as Dr. Pierce of the
Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package of his new discovery,
’Anuric.” Write him your symptoms
and send a sample of urine for test.
Experience has taught Dr. Pierce that
’Anuric” is the most powerful agent
in dissolving uric acid, as hot water
melu sugar; besides being absolutely
harmless it is endowed with other
properties, for it preserves the kidneys
in a healthy condition by thoroughly
cleansing them. Being so many times
more active than lithia, it clears the
heart valves of any sandy substances
which may clog them and checks the
degeneration of the blood-vessels, as
well as regulating blood pressure.
"Anuric” is a regular insurance and
life-saver for all big meat eaters and those
who deposit lime-salts in their joints.
Ask the druggist for "Anuric” put up
by Dr. Pierce, in 50-cent packages.
