THE STORY OF HER LIFE AND
LOVES.
CHAPTER XXXIV.
"Am 1 Home at Last?” Yolande
* Wonders.
This was too much—the man say
ing “Them for the chicken and waf
fles,’’ and Emmy and I laughed until
the tears rolled down our cheeks.
We were awfully ashamed, too, for
Hard never smiled; neither did Mr.
Tipton, although the latter did wink
at both Emmy and me, which only
made us laugh more.
The next room was the dining
room, and I have never seen so much
food at one tim’e in my life. There
was a very high glass cake plate at
’’ach end of the table, each with a
six-layer cake upon it, one choco
late and one cocoanut. They look
ed delicious! Then there were seven
kinds of jellies and jams, and five
kinds of pickles, and five kinds of
vegetables not counting potatoes.
Then the chicken was brought in on
an immense platter and piled piece
upon piece. It was passed around
by the wife of the man who had ush
ered us in at both the front door and
the dining-room door. I recognized
her from her picture. And the waf
fles came next, stacked so high they
reminded me of the Leaning Tower
of Pisa.
And in irony of it all, right on the
wall, and the only decoration, was
a poster which showed vegetables,
one on top of the other and in riot
ous color, and bore the command:
"Conserve the Food.” But none of
us heeded, and we began eating as if
we never had tasted anything so
good. And to my m'emory I never
have. We had a lot of fun while we
were eating, too. Theodore Alonzo
Tiy'.ui, was funnier than his name.
He never stopped talking for a sec
ond and kept mimicking the woman

■ “Getting deep, old man,’’ put in
! Alonzo, for that is what he had al
ready informed us everyone called
him.
“Not deep, but full,” inelegantly
retorted Hard.
“And it affects you that way—!
does it,’’ laughed Alonzo, and we all j
giggled, or we made an effort to, at I
least.
No one took cake but Emmy. I
never saw anyone like her, she’ll try
anything, and under any circum
stances. And what’s more, she ate"
nearly every crumb of the piece she !
took. I couldn’t help but contrast
the Arbrecht meal with the breakfast
I had a short time ago at the Cun- ■
ninghams! I’ve always noticed peo
ple who haven't very much to eat at
home, certainly do justice to a
strange table
We didn’t remain long at the road ,
house after we’d finished eating; the
place had lost its attraction, and we
started for a ride. Hard saying we’d
go the long way home. It was dark
by then, and r’eal coo] and Emmy
looked lovely as she sat beside Alon
zo in my gray coat, with the o’p< s
sum collars close about her neck. I
felt chagrined about only having my
sport suit’s coat, bui Mamma’s black ,
fox neckpiece rather mollified, and
especially when Hard managed ’o
whisper:
“Yolande, black fur surely grew
on the animal for you—you look like
a mermaid in that scarf.”
I couldn’t quite make out the mer
maid simile, for mermaids»have their
hair down, combing it all the while, i
and aren’t at a'' barged as if the 1
weather was getting cool. But it was
accepted as such. We girls can’t put
words we would select ourselves into
our beaux so we might as
well take what th'ey say at its under
lying value. It comes out best in the
end, when we do.
We rod'e on. blistfully as turtle
dov■ Occasionally we all four join-
; ed in an animated conversation, but
I usually Emmy and Alonzo entertain
' each o'h and Hard and I. I
I liked Hard better than on either of
, the other occasions of seeing him.
I He has a great way of improving on
acquaintance, and that says much,
for he made a tremendous hit at the
Community Club dance.
I wonder if “I’m home at last,”
as Leila Grey always says whenever
she meets a real nice young man
whom she imagines she might be able
to really, truly love and marry, and
live with for multitudes of years.

RENEW DRIVE
ON ILUTEAACY
County Teachers Called
To Meet Mrs. Moore
Saturday.
The campaign for the eradication
of illiteracy in Sumter county, which
got a poor start among the whites
here when it was inaugurated as a
statewide movement a few weeks
ago, is to be renewed, and fresh
spirit put into the campaign among
the negro population, County Super
intendent McMath stated today in an
nouncing meetings Saturday of this
week of all of the teachers of the
county. Mrs. Elizabeth Williams
Moore, of Metter, a state worker in
the illiteracy campaign, who was
here when the drive was started, will
be here again Saturday and meet the
white teachers at the Carnegie li
brary at 11 o’clock and the negro
teachers at the McKay Hill school at
2 o’clock.
The wotk of organization of
classes among the illiterate white
people of the county has not been
carried out as systematically as it
should have been or as it is hoped
to carry it out, according to Mr. Mc-
Math, and it is to get the movement
properly under way that Mrs. Moore
is returning nere.
“There is great enthusiasm among
j the negroes, however,’’ said Mr. Mc-
Math. “Old darkies are buying
books who a few weeks ago had nev
er written a word or a letter. A few
days ago an old negro, a cook, came
into my office with a grin on his
face. He asked for a pencil and a
piece of paper, and he wrote a word.
He then handed it to me and asked
me, as he stood looking expectantly,
what it was. ‘lt looks to me like
Georgia,’ I said, and the old darky’s
already broad grin widened. He was
proud, I tell you.
“That’s the way they are working
all over this county. The illiteracy
campaign has already m'eant a lot to
the negroes of this section.’’

’’PINKER Bob noticed that Pika was
nervous and excited and ventured
to ask why. “What makes you so ner- ‘
vous when Mr. Weasel the Great is
near?”
“Oh,” said Pika the Cony Hare, “I
would much rather be caught in the
Hunter’s trap than be caught by that
fellow. He likes to torture all those
he captures and they die by inches.”
“Did I ever hurt you, little Pika?”
asked Mr. Weasel. “You better wait
' till you are hurt before you tell of

i had been harmed. But really the

; And then there is a boldness that
; seems to surround some that speaks
for itself, and it was this kind of an
atmosphere that surrounded Mr.
Weasel. For every time he entered
the presence of any of the forest
dwellers, they would shrink from
his company.
“The reason you never get me is
because I’m too sly for you, and you
can’t find me,” Pika replied.

him, then you must forever cease to

accept this offer?”
Mr. Weasel hesitated a moment
and then said: “If I find him you I
will take that saucy Wild Cat off ■

“Yes,” replied Tinker. “Snoopy j
will not follow you any longer if you ‘
; are able to find Pika.”
“But I suppose,” said Mr. Weasel,
“You will keep the barking Cony
, quiet all day long.”
“No,” said Tinker, “Pika will bark
j as usual so you can hear him.”
“Well, tell me where his hiding
place is. I suppose it will be some
place where I cannot go or wherel
no one else can go.”
“No, indeed, Pika the Cony Hare
I lives far up on the side of the moun-

I there is little or no underbrush and

i Jump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water |
Tells why everyone should drink y
hot water each morning
before breakfast. B
Why is man and woman, half the
ime, feeling nervous, despondent,
.orried; some days headachy, dull and
mstrung; some days really incapaci
! ated by illness.
If we all would practice inside-batn
ng, what a gratifying change would
ake place. Instead of thousands of
half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with
pasty, muddy complexions we should
see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy
i cheeked people everywhere. The rea
son is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
i which it accumulates under our pres
ent mode of living. For every ounce
; of food and drink taken into the system
nearly an ounce of waste material
must be carried out. else it ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
| Just as necessary as it is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
I before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so we must each morning clear
the inside organs of the previous day’s
accumulation of indigestible waste and
I body toxins. Men and women, whether
sick or well, are advised to drink each
morning, before breakfast, a glass of
real hot water with a teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in it, as a harm
less means of washing out of the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
indigestible material, waste, sour bile
and toxins; thus cleausing, sweeten
ing and purifying the entire alimen
tary canal before putting more food
into the stomach.
Millions of people who had their turn
at constipation, bilious attacks, acid
stomach, nervous days and sleepless
nights have become real cranks about
the morning inside-bath. A quarter
pound of limestone phosphate will not
cost much at the drug store, but is
sufficient to demonstrate to anyone,
its cleansing, sweetening and freshen
ing effect upon the system.
