SANDRA THE JEALOUS
a new serial story by
JANE PHELPS.
Author of "The Promoter’s Wife," and Other Stories.
(Copyright by George Mathew Adams.)
LIFE’S CONTRADICTIONS.
CHAPTER LXXXVI.
HOW strange life is! How more
than Strange were certain periods
of my life. It is a terrible thing
to be jealous of the living, to feel
that one you love is spending time
and thought with another. But it
is infinitely worse to be jealous of
th e one who has superseded you in
the affections of the man you love,
when you feel that he still gives her
the greater affection. One might
fight a living personality of whom
one was jealous; but how impossible
and how wicked —to fight one who
has passed on!
It had been several days since I
had read Leola’s letters—days in
which I thought of nothing else. I
felt almost as if I had had a glimpse
of her living, so strong an impression
did those written words make upon
me.
If Everett were kind I would think
of what she had written—that he
never had, never could love another.
That was it. He couldn’t love me
because his love was buried with Le
ola. And I was learning each day to
love him more dearly; to long for his
love in return mor e passionately.
At times I felt I must open my
heart to him, must tell him now I
suffered because of his fealty to
Leola, must tell him I knew why he
didn’t love me. Then my pride would
intervene —and yet not so much
pride, perhaps, as hope that some
day I would win him.
“If he would let me take down
her pictures I would be happier,” I
muttered as I stood before her pic
tured face.
I know now that had I followed
my inclination and told Everett all
I felt, even all I had done—reading
Leola’s letters, etc., he would have
made me see things as they were,
not in the distorted way they appear
ed to me. But it was harder than
ever for me to be happy. I cried
whenever I thought of those letters,
and that mad e him cross.
“You must be ill, Sandra. I shall
send for a physician to talk with you.
No woman cries all the time for
nothing. Your eyes have been red
and swollen most of the time the
last three or four days. If you aren’t
ill, what are you crying for?”
“Please don’t send a doctor to
The Malaria Mosquito
A mosquito cannot communicate malaria unless
it is infected with malaria. The bite of a malaria
mosquito will transmit malarial parasites to the
blood of a person and these malarial parasites which
feed on the blood should be destroyed before they
have time to increase in numbers. Malarial Fever is
sometimes called Chills and Fever, Bilious Fever and
Swamp Fever.

Bragg’s Market
Whv not? have the best. Our meats are used in and
around Americus, for some distance. All of the little cities
around us patronize us. They see our advertisements and
find our meats the best. They say so. Why not brag? An
Americus market selling their meats to consumers in Albany,
Ga., must be of some class. Bragg s Market is doing that.
We .try to keep the best and the people have found it out.
May we tell you that our class of meats is unexcelled. All
this week, we have something fine. Call us over the phone,
or come to see us. Ask what we have today. Fresh meats,
Fish. Chickens, Eggs, Fruits and Vegetables. And Butter

me, Everett. I won’t cry any more.
I guess I am lonely. You haven’t
been with me very much since we
came back, you know.”
“What a baby you are! Aren’t
you ever going to grow up? Just
as I commence to feel you are im
proving, you act like this. lam al
most discouraged that you will ever
have the poise necessary for a wo
man if she is to be happy and have
friends. Send for Mrs. Sloane to
ride with you. Do something, any
thing, but cry and pout about nothing
at all. Ido not mean to scold you,
Sandra. But it is hard to understand
what you want—what you expect.”
I wanted his love—had expected
iit until lately. Now I wanted it
more than ever. But I did not ex
pect it.
After he left I acted upon his ad
vice and called up Alice Sloane. She
was delighted to go with me, if I
would shop a little before we re
turned.
We had a delightful ride, and real
ly I felt almost normal again when
we reached the shops after an hour’s
ride. But it seemed I was to have
no relief from my morbid thoughts
j —not for long.
While Alice was selecting some
sewing silks and things, I wandered
idly down the counter and was halt
ed by hearing Everett’s name spok
en by a very good-looking woman.
“Yes, Everett Graham surprised us
all last year when he married. I
never have seen the present Mrs.
Graham, but they tell me she is
very young, very unsophisticated,
very different from the first wife. No
one ever thought he would marry
again. He was so crazy over his
; wife. I don’t think I ever knew a
man who was so in love. He never
■ interfered with the least thing she
; wanted to do, and most men would
i have many times. He aged 10 years
wjjen she died. I am anxious to
meet this wife.’’
“I would have said he would have
married Irma Barton if he had re
married,” the one addressed replied,
“I hear he is often with her as it is.”
Just then Alice called that she
had finished and I was obliged to
leave with her, all my better feelings
.gone, all my unhappiness returned—

Mother Visit Her.
