SPRING MAGIC
By CRAWFORD LUTTRELL
'©, 1920, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
It was a foolishly sentimental lit
tle poem, yet there was something so
Intimately friendly about the lines that
Jim Reynolds felt no great surprise
when he glanced down at the wrjter’s
name and found It to be Mary Mc
Ghee. Mary McGhee!
What a troop of ghostly little mem
ories those words conjured up for the
man, as he sat by a window In the
great hook-lined room! Glancing out,
he was conscious for the first time
that spring, with age-old magic, had
touched the earth again and that bur
geoning boughs, and buttercups flaunt
ing scalloped yellow petticoats, gave
evidence of the revivifying power of
the fragrant wand.
Lilacs that his mother had planted
in her own youthful days tossed pur
ple and white plumes In the light
?:e. White-throats were busily
building in the blossoming pear tree
by the driveway. A pot of tulips on
the window sill caught and heW the
sunlight and glowed goldenly.
Strange that those lines of a girl he
had known hack there in the unfor-
getable days of immaturity should
make him conscious of bird and leaf
and blossom that had been there,
noticed before. But that had been
Mary’s way. She was not content to
enjoy beauty hlone. She had always
pointed it out for less discriminating,
less appreciative eyes. •
Jim looked at the silver-framed pic
ture of Ids wife that stood on the huge
flat-topped mahogany desk before him.
The little ruffled dress she had worn
when the picture was taken was no
less light and airy than the pretty,
smiling girl herself.
It was indicative of her attitude to
life. For the ten years of their mar
ried life she had laughed and danced
ami played, and when at times, in mo
ments of real need, he had turned to
her she had been able to offer him
only the star dust on her brightly
hued butterfly \^ings.
He read once more the lines of the
poem expressing the romantic ideas
that the thought of youth’s first love
forever lingers in the heart. All at
once there registered in the recess of
his memory the look In Mary Mc
Ghee’s face when he had told her that
Claire Inman had promised to marry

DEATH WAS NEAR

“Dropsy brought me right down to

and death. The

I screamed in ag

Ho recoiled dimly how awkwardly
tender he had felt toward the little
Kiri to \4hom lie had often made love
lightly before the great and blinding
passion for Claire had caused Him to
feel himself suddenly a grown man,
with the desire to possess and cherish
her tilling his whole life.
If Claire’s fortune had had any
thing to do with his choice, he had
tried d^/perately to put the thought
behind him. But sitting there by the
window, years after, he winced a lit
tle at the memory of Mary McGhee's
face, with her heroically suppressed
heart’s secret biasing like a scarlet
banner across her checks.
For one terrifying second .Tim had
known and Mnry McGhee knew he
understood. Then she had rallied and
warmly congratulated hltn, hoping
with all her heart, she hail said, he
would he ns happy as lie deserved.
She had gone away before the wed
ding, and Jim remembered how
strangely he had thought of her that
June morning, of how she would have
loved the madonna lilies and great
hanks of daisies that filled the house.
He had missed her, and then the
Joy of possessing the pretty, spoiled
girl he hud asked to he his wife had
blotted everything else from his mind
until the day came when he realized
that CTnlre had never loved him. that
she could not. perhaps, love anybody
but herself.
Once in awhile he had seen stories
written by Mary In the current maga
zines. had wondered for a few min
utes where she was and what life had
offered her. felt briefly conscious of
the pain that his careless youth had
given her. and then considered grimly
that the heating touch of years had
doubtlessly erased him even from her
memory.
Yet the thought of her strangely
persisted. He reflected that he had
been a very sick man lutel.v and that
he might attribute to Ills present
weakness of body the reading of po
etry, In which he never by any chance
Indulged, and his sentimental thoughts
of youth, of unattaltied Ideals anil of
shattered dreams. Life did that to
everybody. •
It took you. young and vigorous and
Idealistic as Galahad, and broke you
on a turn of the wheel. Here he was
with nothing to satisfy him except the
knowledge of his business success;
and he was not yet forty.
The Junior member of his firm came
In noisily, bringing a boltle of ancient
vintage and a basket of strawberries
from his own hothouses. “Everything
is going flue down at the office. We
agreed today mat you need a nice va
cation, and we want you to go right
away. What do you think about It, old
man?" #
Jim glanced once more out of the
window. Something, soft ns a bird
calt, seemed to challenge him ; some
thing. sweet as the lilt of a half-for
gotten love song that vibrates the
•hords of the heart, seemed to deny
hat life was done for him.
He was still young, eager, buoyant,
and now he had understanding and
Judgment.
He whirled about to face his yonng
partner. "Well, Bill,. I believe that I
will go away for a little while. I have
a feeling that I would like to visit the
old town where I went to college, to
see the old landmarks, to see the boys
and girls grown up into ’fat and for
ties.’ I have been considering It for a
long time.”
“Bully for you," said Bill warmly.
I’m terribly glad and relieved, too, In
a way." He smiled, a mischievous
twinkle In his eyes. “I’ll be glad to
have you and your good looks out of
the way for a while. You know that
advertising agency across the hall
from our office? Well, they have a
new employee, a widow, to write ads
for them.
Everybody In the building 1ms fallen
for her. She Is not exactly beautiful,
hut the woman hns something, a sort
of subtle charm, that makes men Just
naturally gravitate to her. Yqiu have
a feeling that she Is thinking with you,
anticipating everything yon say, un
derstanding you—’’
“Why, Bill, I never heard you talk
like this!"
“Harlan Is worse than I am. He’s
been sending her flowers for a week
and hooks of poetry and everything
like that. She’s so darn sensible. You
wouldn’t believe a woman could he
like that. Why, she writes stories and
poems and things for magazines. This
advertising business Is just a side line.
She says there’s so much money In It
that she just can’t turn tt down, and
then she likes to travel, she says, and
meet new people all the time.
"Gives her Ideas! Believe me, If she
will take me along. I’ll pay all the'
traveling expenses for both of us the
rest of m.v life. Old Harlan says thnt
if we can keep you out of the way for
a while—you know how It is with wid
owers, Jim, when they do start out!
We are Just naturally afraid of you—”
Bill was laughing. "Anyway, I’m sure
glad that you fell for onr Iden nnd
that you are leaving town soon be
cause I’m going to try some iyilek
work on Mrs. Mnry."
"So her name is—Mary?” Jim won
dered why his heurt thumped ro hard.
The grippe must have played havoc
with him.
“She's got a cute name, Mary Mc
Ghee Martin. She signs her stuff Mary
McGhee. Now, most women put on a
lot of superior airs nnd say that their
stories brought red cheeks nnd ev
erything, Iml she’s different. They
say old Norse pays her a whooping
hlg price for her ads.
Jim flicked the ashes from Ills cigar
with a lmml that trembled a little.
"I’ll be down to the office in the morn
ing," he remarked casually, hoping
that Ills heart was not pumping all the
blood of Ills body Into bis fnee, as be
felt It must be doing, from the heat
in his tliront nnd cheeks.
"I’m not In any great hurry to start
on my little trip. Perhaps It will he
pleasanter to go n little later on!”
And something ns subtly new and
Indescribable as spring magic Itself
quivered In Ills heart.
Bairnsfather’s Feelings.
The Blaekfrlars club gave a pence
commemoration dinner recently at
the Cafe Monlco. Capt. Bruce
Bnlrnsfnther, responding to the tons!
of “The British Imperial Forces,” said
thnt when he started drawing pictures
he was merely Interpreting what Brit

his first picture at “Plug street,” nnd
he wrapped It up In an old newspaper

Are You Human?
A little baby. A little child. Don’t they appeal to you? Doesn’t your
heart yearn to pick them up, to cuddle them close to you, to shield them
from all harm? sure it does else you’re not human. Being human you love
them. Their very helplessness makes you reach out in all your strength to aid
them. In health there's no flower so beautiful. In illness there’s no night so
blaCk ‘ Save them then. Use every precaution. Take no chance.
When sickness comes, as sickness will, remember its just a baby, just a
child and if the Physician isn’t at hand don't try some remedy that you may
have around the house for your own use.
Fletcher's Castoria was made especially for babies ills and you can use
it with perfect safety as any doctor will tell you. Keep it in the house.

Do the People Know?
Do you know why you are asked to call for Fletcher’s Castoria
when you want a child’s remedy: why you must insist on Fletcher’s?
Fm- years we have been explaining how the popularity of
Fletcher’s Castoria has brought out innumerable imitations, sub
stitutes and counterfeits.
To protect the babies: to shield the homes and in defense of
generations to come we appeal to the better judgment of parents to
insist on having Fletcher’s Castoria when in need of a child’s med
icine. And remember above aU things that a child’s medicine ia
made for children—a medicine prepared for grown-ups is not inter
changeable. A baby’s food for a baby. And a baby’s medicine ia
just as essential for the baby.
The Castoria Recipe (it’s on every wrapper) has been prepared by
the same hands in the same manner for so many years that the signa-4
ture of Chas. H. Fletcher and perfection in the product are synonymous.
