By Marion'Strobed. ii.plied bet Rajutain pen in to the red ink .uid o |>tn>iug bet diary, to Thursday, March 17th wrote, “It shall be done.” Whereupon she rose, jammed cerise hat on at an angle entirely obscuring the right eye, ran a lip stick abaudonly across her mouth, put a dab of Dorine upon her nose, and, with a hasty glance at hot chic dirninutiveness reflected in the mirror, Hung herself out of her bedroom, down the stairs and into the waiting taxi. “I want you to go to the Algon quin Hotel, and I'm in a great, great hurry.” “Yes, ma’am,” answered tin* driver, mindful of his training, though he wished to say: “Child, you have too much straw colored hair flying about. And your hat is indecently covering your eye. And your lips arc painted. And if you were my Marigold, J would not so much as let you out of my sight.” Nevertheless, lie drove as rapid ly as policemen and traffic would let him, while she sat bolt upright in the exact center of the cab. One of her hands clasped the other, and were it not for her youth and .the joyous tilt of her features, she might have looked tragic. She felt tragic, and like a Trojan wo man and like Anna Karenina and like the poor little rich girl and, most of all, like slapping John’s face. John was her husband. She got out of the cab and enter ed the Algonquin Hotel. She had never been there before, and the strangeness of it increased her do termination. She jerked her cerise hat still further over her right eye and inarched up to the desk. And, though the desk clerk was young, and had blond curly hair and peerv blue eyes, he did not deter her. She spoke loud, distinctly, and with sustained breath, “Mr. Payson S. Clark is staying at this hotel. Kindly tell him Mrs. Milton is here.” And the desk clerk, in turn mindful of his training, but wish ing, the while, that he might say, “Oh, my dear child, go home to your husband, or let me tell you that you are lovely—lovely as a Greuze painting," answered, “Mr. Clark will be right down.” She nodded her gratification, and, turning, walked over to one the blue plush sofas. As site sat down, the elevator door opened and Mr. Clark emerg ed smiling. “Mrs. Milton! 1 kept hoping I’d get a message from you —up till six o’clock I thought there was a chance. Then 1 decided you hadn’t the nerve ” “I haven’t,” she interrupted. But I’m going to do it anyway.” And the desk clerk, who was watching them, couldn’t make out the situation at all. Why was this Mrs. Milton of the pipquat features and bewildering clothes — why was this charming lady look ing so serious? And what had it all to do with Mr. Payson S. Clark, fea ture writer of a New York paper? He had always considered Mr. Clark a hard-working young man — to be sure, he sat at the weekly rouud table with other members of the inteiligensia while they ate frugally and talked voraciously. Still, talk was harmless enough. And he had never before been in the company of a woman, lie was not of the variety that the desk clerk termed "tea-toilers.” And, then. Mrs. Milton looked so e.xeit ed, and —yes —a little frightened. It was obvious she was doing some thing that she shouldn’t be doing. And Mr. Clark was smiling. If only she hadn’t beeu Mrs. Milton! After all, in spite of her guileless appearance, she had a husband. Perhaps, if the desk clerk had I been nearer, he would have felt re- 1 assured. Perhaps not. For Mrs. Milton was at the moment saying: “He wouldn’t switch his trunk rouud into my lap for peanuts, would he? Of course 1 love an cle My Georgia Land. Oh My Georgia Land, My Georgia Land, With pride upon thy who rex i stand; 1 he wonder ot thy hill* survey And catch thy song birds’ rounde.ay: J watch the ripple of thy hills. My heart w ith love and rapture thrills; A fjlorious heritage is mine, \ royal native child of thine. CHORUS. yh, Georgia Land, Fair Georgia Land To thee J pledge my heart and hand.

The one that tells thy fame to me. For God and right thou e'er hath stood. Thy creed a Christly brotherhood. The world has learned to know thy fame, And hearts rejoice at thy dear name. Thy royal children e’er shall raise Their voices clear to slug thy praise. In word and deed to honor thee. Thou mother of the brave and free.

But I’m scared to death of his trunk it’s so much more alive than any other part of him.” “Oh, no; he won’t do that.” “Well then, it’s settled. And I’ll be there tomorrow night. You are really a dear and are helping uie a lot.” Here she shook bands with Mr. Clark, and looked up at him gratefully, and as directly as her hat would allow. “And you are helping me, Mrs. Milton,” answered Mr. Clark, and, as he accompanied her to the door, he added, “Until tomorrow, then ” “1 will be there,” she replied, and this, overheard by the desk clerk, convinced him that she was pledging her word to something.

I was sick three years In bed. suffering a great deal of pain, weak, nervous, depressed. X was so weak, I couldn’t walk across the floor; just had to lay and my little ones do the work. I was almost dead. I tried every thing I heard of, and a number of doctors. Still 1 didn’t get any relief. I couldn’t eat, and slept poorly.

HIKING DOWN THE LONG BROWN PATH Vacationists With Shelter Tents and Tin Cow Learning to Walk All Over Again. Oh! It'* not th#* pack that you carry on your back Nor the rifle on your shoulder. Nor the Five inch crust of khaki-colored dust That makes you feel your llThbs are growing older; And it’s not the hike on the hard turnpike That drives away your smile, Nor the socks of sisters that raise the blooming; blister!— It’* the last long mile. —Plattsburgh Marching Song. Stringing out from the suburban transit terminals of New York every Sunday and holiday goes the army of klmkl-clad hikers. There may be an automobile for every twenty of the country’s population, but a host of city folks disprove the theory of a future leg-enfeebled citizenry and are learning to walk all over again. To the more casual minded, the hike Is just exercise, but to those who catch its real significance the hike means a great deal more. It is the cheapest form of recreation and therefore appeals to those living in crowded districts and unable to avail themselves of the more expensive amusements. And these people, be It noted, are just those the country Is so anxious to have spread out and settled in the farming sections. The hike, Indeed, has possibilities as a real starter for the "back to the farm” movement. Doughboy and Boy Scout Lead Way Just a brief survey of the rollicking groups which move off froth the out lying terminals on holidays estab lishes a few general types. There is the ex-service rnan and ids friends who will hear from him the story of more serious excursions on the muddy roads of France. He tight ens a strap here and another there on the blanket roll adjustment or the "shelter half,” in which the commis sary is packed for the mid-day feast by the roadside. Expert directions come from him on the method of slinging the pack so it will not feel so heavy or Interfere with the free body movement. He will pass along the information gained In his army days, of how that same pack was evolved after numerous experiments to tind the easiest way of carrying the heaviest load. With results tie now compliments, but which tie char acterized when a doughboy as a "blankety-blank total failure.” Then there are the boy scout par ties, adept at everything pertaining to “shanks mare” traveling and wood craft. The ex-service man and the boy stout are pioneers in the hiking game. listen to one of them right off the train and making ready for a twelve mile jaunt: "Oet that can teen over to the side, Jimmie, and it won’t keep bouncing off your leg every step. Is It filled? Well, then, we drink. How about the eats? Let’s check ’em off. You got the spuds, Bill: the bacon Jimmie. Who has the coffee and the Borden tin cow?” “Right here,” announces a freckled comrade of the road, patting his knap sack. “Snitched the mocha and the can of milk when Sis wasn’t looking.” “Well, then, let’s go!” snaps the commander of the expedition. This party Is traveling light for real distance. Another must expect to make a shorter hitch or else be count ing greatly on Its power of endur ance. Perhaps the camp is not far off because the group is equipped for an over night stay with heavy blanket rolls, hatches, lanterns, canvas wa terpails, rubber ponchos, kettles, pots, new tangled firestand, etc., etc. The blankets are laid out for n better packing of the bags and cans of food. When the party commences to load up the members bristle all over with camp tools and equipment. Back to the Farm The veteran from the crowded city tenement has found a new territory to roam and one almost unknown to his associates. He is introducing them to this newly discovered land and teaching them how to he Independent of any transportation but their own good legs and of any subsistence but what they can carry and prepare. “Walk, and cook your own,” is his motto. Who will say the leaven thus fer menting in the city crowds will not bear fruit In a keener appreciation of country delights, especially as these are added to by increased comforts on the farm. With his radio hitched up, the farmer listens in on the best entertainment the country has to offer. Modern home devices wipe our many hardships formerly imposed upon Isolated dwellers. There is, in short, a rapid cutting down of the differential between farm and city life. In the meantime, knowledge must precede a true appreciation of what the country holds, and this is what the hike supplies. There is more ap peal in one apple tree in blossom than in reams of printed matter put out to induce the citizen ot the city to change his abode to the country. The hikers constitute a growing army, equipped with bacon, spuds, coffee and tin cow for merely a day’s outing but nevertheless seeing sights that make them yearn to be among them alt the time. It is not too much to assume that the army may one day recruit the open piece*. WHY WHIYOU SUFFER? Mims’ Iron Tonic The great Irish remedy relieves the pain.
