(©. 1929. by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
“Well, thank goodness, this is the
last vacation we shall have to worry
about Tom,” and Tom’s sister, Julia,
folded her hands lu her lap. “Next
year he will be working."
“I suppose so,” said her mother re
gretfully. True, one did wonder what
Tom would be up to next whenever he
was home, but it was pleasant having
him around the house, telling stories
about his college life, picking out, with
oue finger, the latest popular hits on
the piano, denuding the pantry shelves
of everything edible.
Whenever Tom came home to Whlt-
neyvllle, things simply hummed. His
freshman year he had decided to paint
the barn, and paint It he did, after
nearly killing himself by a fnll from
the ringpole and falling to match the
north side with the south side as to
color.
His sophomore year he had brought
home a classmate with him. und what
with straw rides, picnics and porch
parties Whltneyville developed almost
enough of a social calendar to fill a
Sunday social column.
Last year—well, lust year ills ambi
tion had been greater. He had fallen
In love with and wanted to marry on
the spot a girl In the next town, a
young slip of a thing with brown eyes
and golden hair and a dimple In her
chin who answered to the name of
Elsie Carrington.
Somehow or other between them, Ills
mother and sister had managed to nip
this absurdly youthful romance, as It
seemed to them, In the bud, and Tom
had returned to college a sadder,
wiser, hut unmarried man. Sadder, be
cause of temporarily thwurted plans;
wiser, because—well, just wiser, we’ll
say.
What form would his activities take
this year?
“I hope the ‘vamp’ doesn’t try for
him,” said Julia, bitterly, thereby voic
ing the very fear in her mother’s mind.
And both of them knew that if Tom
Branford did not succumb to Alice
Haynes’ vnmplshness It would he be
cause he hud more strength of
character than the rest of the Whlt
neyville youth or else because he was
irrevocably attached to another.
Alice Haynes was not exactly a new
comer to Whltneyville. She was an
old-timer who had gone away to study
art and had come hack In a new char
acter. That Is, she returned an art
ist—of sorts. She dressed like one.
In stenciled smocks, talked the lingo,
_Jind lived in. a otu<lia.
Yes, she had taken over oia man
Woodbrldge’s barn, replaced the horse
stall partitions with heaver hoard,
hung the walls with rep instead of har
ness, and imported by truck from New
York a collection of rugs, samovars,
easels und ash trays which would have
done credit to a locality where such
things were better appreciated.
Once settled, she began to enter
tain—sister artists over week-ends,
a musical comedy star, a Russian vio
linist and his literary wife—in short,
so many people that Whltneyville soon
lost all track of their numerous com
ings and goings.
Gradually, however, the young men
of the town rnunuged an Introduction
to her, then dropped In to call, and
finally got the habit of going often.
One day some facetious town wit spoke
of her as the vamp, and from that
moment her stock dropped below par
’ with the women folk. The epithet
may or may not have been true. What
wns Indubitably true, however, was
ihe fact that former popular young
women were now forced to sit of a
Sunday afternoon on their lonely ver
andas twirling their thumbs and won
dering who Invented vamps, anyway.
Into this disturbed social atmos
phere dropped Tom Branford, now a
graduate and bis own master, with a
promising job ut Ills disposal the first
of September. And lie bad not been
in Whltneyville n week before, in spite
of the efforts of his mother and Julia,
he had not only discovered the vamp
but had become one of the most regu
lar frequenters of the studio.
“He’s lost Ids appetite!’’ Inrrpnted
Mrs. Branford one morning, vowing
the array of cup custards proposed to
tempt It bock again.
“More likely lie’s fed up with Rus
sia ten and Dutch cheeses and—und
glace fruits,” said Julia shortly. "What
he can see In that woman!”
“I wish we had not put our foot
down so strongly about Miss Carring
ton,” ventured her mother. “I didn’t
really object to her. It was Just that
Tom was so young.” To Mrs. Bran
ford the visions of last year, which at
the time seemed so dreadful—visions
of Tom marrying a young slip of a
thing and setting up an establishment
of hty own—now appeared altogether
heavenly beside pictures of Tom loung
ing li) the society of long-haired poets
and ijrlnking tea poured by the huuds
of short-haired women.
“I have an Idea,” began Julia slow
ly, "If It Isn’t too late. Let’s tell Tom
that we have changed our minds about
thinking he wns to young to be mar
ried, and suggest that he Invite Miss
Carrington here for a visit. She
wouldn’t come unless they were en
gaged, and If he still cares he might
persuade her to be engaged—and
there’s an end to Alice the Vamp!”
Mrs. Branford looked hopeful. Then
au expression of doubt clouded Ium
faoe. Would Tom haunt the home
of one girl if still lo love with an
other? “If only It Isn’t too latel” she
breathed.
That night when Tom sneaked In,
some time nearer 12 than 11, he found
to his surprise both his mother and
his sister awaiting his return. Usu
ally the task of “sitting up for Tom”
wus assumed by them alternately. It
was a form of attention, moreover,
which greatly annoyed Tom, who had
no desire to be sat up for like a young
high school girl.
But tonight his face wore an ex
pression of such radiant happiness
that nothing could have chilled it,
“Mother—Julia I” he cried. “Congratu
late me! She has said ‘Yes’ 1”
The hearts of the two women con
gealed within them. Too late! Too
late!
“I’m sure I hope you’ll be very
happy!” Julia rose to the occuslon
with proper, If mild, politeness.
“I do, too, dear,” faltered his moth
er. “Although 1 had hoped—Elsie
Carrington, you know."
"Well, of — all — things!” Tom
brought out the words with staccato
emphasis. "I thought—last summer—
but never mind, now—only If I had
known!" He swung an arm around
ench of the two women. "You dear
old things. That’s who it is, you know
—Elsie!”
The following afternoon in the pleas-
nnt Bradford living room two chairs
drawn close together nnd four feet on
the fender guve indications that Tom
had brought his wlfe-to-be home for a
little visit.
"And I thought your mother and
sister didn’t like me," Elsie was say
ing. "Otherwise, I would never have
consented to having you see me secret
ly nt Cousin Alice’s.”
"Well, we were both wrong.” said
Tom complacently. “It seems they
were both crazy about you—simply
crazy. And how could they help It,
darling?”
BEFORE THE DAY OF STEAM
According to History, Travel by Stage
Coach Must Have Been a Trial
to the Nerves.
The stage-coach was little better
than n huge covered box mounted on
springs. Tt had neither glass win
dows, nor door, nor steps, nor closed
sides. The roof was upheld by eight
posts which rose from the body of the
vehicle, nnd the body was commonly
breast-high. From the top we~e hung
curtains of leather, to he drawn up
when the day wns fine, nnd let down
nnd buttoned when rainy nnd cold.
Within were four seats. Without wns
the baggage. Fourteen pounds of lug
gage were allowed to be carried free
by each passenger. Rut If his port
manteau or his brass-nall-studded
hair trunk weighed more, ho paid fop
It at the same rate per mile ns he
paid for himself. Under no clrcutn-v
stances, however, could he he per-,
mltted to tnl»o with him on thf* Joury
ne.v more than one hundred and. fifty
pounds. When the baggage had nil
been weighed nnd strapped on the
conch, when the horses had been at
tached and the wny-biil made out. the
eleven passengers were summoned,
nnd, clninhering to their seats through
the front of the stage, sat down with
their faces toward the driver’s sent.

False Claims.
W
E hope there Is no Mother who thinks she can treat her sick baby without
calling in a Physician, or with remedies that she uses for herself.
Most Mothers know that Baby requires remedies especially prepared for
babies, yet there are some who think that what is good enough for them is good
enough for Baby, and it is to these Mothers we appeal to give nothing to their
babies that is not specially prepared for babies or recommended by their Physician.
False claims may kill, but false claims can never restore your child.
For over thirty years Fletcher’s Castoria has been aiding in the reduction
of the deaths among infants as Mothers have become more and more acquainted
with it. Always keep it in the house.

Mothers Must Use Care.
Why do we so often call your attention to imitations of Fletcher’s-
Castoria? Because it is a baby’s medicine and imitations are always
dangerous, particularly imitations of a remedy for infants.
Tour druggist may not keep an imitation but they are to he found
on drug-store shelves. Reliable druggists think only of the welfare
of their customers. The other kind only of the greater profit to be
made on imitations. r.
Your own judgment tells you that Fletcher’s Castoria having for
over thirty years at great expense held up its reputation, must jeal
ously guard it. Then, it foUows that this company must use the very
best of material. Must employ experts in the selection of the herbs.
Must retain skiUed chemists in its manufacture.
Your same good judgment must tell you that these irresponsible
Imitators are trading on your credulity and the reputation built up
by Mr. Fletcher, during all these years, for his Castoria.

Acts on the Liver,
Regulates Kidneys,
Purifies the Blood
The liver is the largest and most im
portant organ in the body, and when the
liver refuses to act, It causes constipa
tion, biliousness, headaches, indigestion,
gas, sour stomach, bad breath, dysentery,
diarrhoea, pnlns In the back and Under
shoulder blades und under ribs on right
side. These symptoms lead to colds, In
fluenza or other serious troubles unless
corrected immediately.
An inactive liver places an extra bur
den on the kidneys, which overtaxes
them and causes the blood to absorb and
carry into the system the Impurities that
the liver and kidneys have failed to elim
inate.
When you treat the liver alone, you
treat only a third of your trouble, and
that Is why you have to take purgatives
every few nights. Calomel or other ordi
nary laxatives do’ not go far enough. If
you would treat your kidneys and blood
while treating the liver, you would put
your entire system in order and frequent
purgatives would then be unnecessary.
Dr. W. Tj. Hitchcock many years ago
recognized these important facts, and aft
er much study and research, compound
ed what is now known as Dr. Hitch
cock’s Liver, Kidney and Blood Powders,
three medicines combined In one. This
was the Doctor’s favorite prescription for
many years, being used by his patients
with marked success. It is a harmless
vegetable remedy that will not make you
Bick, and you may eat anything you like
while taking It.
Get a large tin box from your druggist
or dealer for 26c, under his personal guar
antee that it will give relief, tone up the
liver, stimulate the kidneys to healthy
action and thereby purify the blood. If
your dealer will not supply you, it will
be mailed direct by the Hitchcock Medi

A WAR-TIME DLL THAT’S SPREADING
HUNT’S SALVE CURES IT!
B RED in the war trenches of Europe, a wave of ordi
nary ITCH in spreading over the country. This skin
disease, history shows, has always prevailed, following
wars and the concentration of armies. It was common
during the Civil War and following that conflict. There
wns an epidemic of the Itch after the Spanish-Anujrican
War. Now history is repeating itself after the great
European struggle.
Returned Boldiers and those with whom they come in
contact will find a recognized remedy for the Itch in
Hint's Salve, commonly Known as "Hunt’s Ttch Cure.’*
Many a veteran of the late ’90’s will testify to its merits.
If directions are followed HUNT’S SALVE will
prove a never failing cure for all forms of the Itch, and
your druggist will tell you so. He sells HUNT’S SALVBl
under a strict guarantee to refund the purchase price to
any dissatisfied UBer.
A Medford, Oklahoma man, among thousands wh#
praise HUNT’9 SALVE, says:
"Some people dislike to cap it the Itch, but candor compels me to admit
I had It badly. Your Hunt’s Salve, howevor, cured me after many other
remedies had totally failed. One box completed the cure—the first application
afforded wonderful relief. My advice to those who have to scratch, Is to
use Hunt’s Salve.”

Ringworm, Tetter and other itching skin diseases and Is sold on our guarantee
by all reliable drug stores, or It will be sent direct by mall If your local druggist
