Sallie Learns the Truth at Last
"When I first began rushing the girl, things happened just as we had planned," Curtiss declared. "Sallie began to take more interest in me and also in the house. In fact she almost developed into a domestic type. As long as I had gone into the thing, I wanted to do it up right," he continued, "but it used to nearly kill
"Whew!" from Curtiss, "I should say it is! I'd like to tell you all the developments in the case, but really, sir, I don't think it would be fair to the girl."
me to leave her here alone when I loved her more than I ever had in all my life."
My heart raced as I heard Curtiss declare his affection for me at a time when I had thought he had certainly ceased to care.
"Anyway," he went on, "I intended to chuck the whole thing in a few weeks, after proving to Sallie that her crusty old husband was a fascinating sheik!" Curtiss laughed out loud and father joined in. "But," he added, serious again, "something happened then that neither you nor I anticipated and over which, as I told you, I had absolutely no control."
"Is that so?" father asked.
"Whew!" from Curtiss, "I should say it is! I'd like to tell you all the developments in the case but really, sir, I don't think it would be fair to the girl."
How I prayed that dad would persuade him to go ahead! I felt that having heard this much of the strange affair, it was essential that I learn the rest.
"Nonsense!" father replied, "I'll never know the young woman. Not even her name. Tell me about it, by all means, and I'll regard it as an impersonal story such as I might read in any magazine or book."
Curtiss hesitated for quite a while and I thought dad's argument had been lost; however, after several minutes, he went on.
"By Jove! It was a queer situation that came about. And, if it's just the same to you, I'd rather read about it the next time than to take one of the principal parts!" Curtiss was facetious and I knew he was playing for time.
"Yes, yes, go ahead." Father was equally determined to hear the thing out.
"Well, you see, sir, to make a long story short, this foolish kid, got the idea in her head that she was really in love with me and nothing I could say seemed to have any weight. I knew nothing about this modern generation and it was surprising to me to find out to what reckless lengths they will go. I mean by that, sir, they care not the snap of their fingers for conventionality, or what we used to call the 'looks of things,' nor do they mind, in the least, being talked about entire time. Her father was in Europe and her mother in some Canadian summer resort."
"I see. Get on with the story," dad urged.
"Weil, there was nothing for me to do but go around to her home, although I felt certain it was all a stall. This is what I found. Le—" he checked himself when he almost mentioned her name, "the girl was stretched out on a divan and there was a bottle marked strychnine in her hand. The little fool!" he exclaimed. "I snatched it away from her and noticed it was still untouched. I walked to a window and poured it out. She swore to me that she was going to secure some more and take it if I insisted on not seeing her any more. She really had succeeded in working herself up into a highly nervous state and I found out that she had been reading a lot of stuff about famous women who had killed themselves for unrequited love. What I should have done, I suppose, was to tell her to go ahead. Call her bluff. But put yourself in my position, sir. As I told you before, I don't know this younger set and although I felt she was stalling, I couldn't afford to take a chance on what she might ate."

Well, you see, sir, to make a long story short, this foolish kid, got the idea in her head that she was really in love with me and nothing I could say seemed to have any weight. I knew nothing about this modern generation and it was surprising to me to find out to what reckless lengths they will go. I mean by that, sir, they care not the snap of their fingers for conventionality, or what we used to call the 'looks of things,' nor do they mind, in the least, being talked about. It had been my intention, in co-operating with your plan, to dance with the child at parties and carry on a flirtation which she had started, but absolutely not allow the thing to go any farther than that. But when she got to calling me up at the office several times a day and even here at the house, I tell you it was a ticklish affair. I couldn't explain the situation to Sallie, you know, and yet I could see she was getting bored with the whole thing. I stood it just as long as I could and I finally told the girl I was through. I had never made love to her, you understand." Curtiss explained, "I must say that, in justice to myself, for really I'm not a cad, but I did kid her a bit and thought all the time she had sense enough to know I was in love with my wife. But no siree! These new girls are conceited little fools. They boast that they can vamp any man away from his wife. When I told the girl that she had misunderstood the whole affair, she immediately announced that she would take her own life! I laughed at her, for I knew she was really not in love with me—that she was not capable of any emotional depth, and I thought that in a few days, as far as she was concerned, I would cease to exist. The next day she called me at the office and ordered me to come right around, that she was going to take strychnine and that she wanted to tell me good-bye."
"Where were her parents while all this was going on?" father asked. Although he attempted to control himself, I knew that he was startled at the sharp turn of events.
"They had been out of town for the unintended it out. She swore to me that she was going to secure some more and take it if I insisted on not seeing her any more. She really had succeeded in working herself up into a highly nervous state and I found out that she had been reading a lot of stuff about famous women who had killed themselves for unrequited love. What I should have done, I suppose, was to tell her to go ahead. Call her bluff. But put yourself in my position, sir. As I told you before, I don't know this younger set and although I felt she was stalling, I couldn't afford to take a chance on what she might attempt to do in a temperamental fit. I pictured headlines and glaring publicity. All the time I was thinking of Sallie and trying to get out of the thing with the least possible harm to her. So this is the way I damped things out."
I moved uneasily on the divan and Curtiss hearing the movement paused and listened for a long time. Then assuring himself that everything was quiet in the house, he continued to talk, but lowered his voice. Oh, I thought, if he would only hurry and get to the end! My hands and feet were like blocks of ice. I was hypnotized by his recital of the strange series of events and even if I had wanted to make my presence known, it was too late. My lips refused to move.
"I compromised by promising her we would go out occasionally, and she was apparently satisfied with that." I strained my ears to catch the low-spoken words, "You see I knew it would just be a question of a short time until a suitor would come along! And he did. But," he continued, "in the meantime Sallie got sick and tired of the wretched business and announced that she was going to New York. I pleaded with her to stay and she said she would if I would explain. But you see, sir, that was exactly what I could not do. I asked her to have faith in me and assured her that things would turn out all right. But she's too spirited to sit by and take a back seat and, by jove, I don't blame her! I really didn't expect her to wait. I admired and adored her more right that minute than at any time in my life.
Yet there was now get out of the house created for myself that Sallie wouldn't out of her life."
"And after she left than ever, I support real concern in his world." A new and lister arrived in a quite a furore in a modernist and by all the old tradition was just the picture that appeals to a petitive type. He was limelight and complicated that an unliked me was not wrong. Adored his model was his indifferent titia Evans turn in life, and not "Fortunately," he chap was a bachelor have made the slur the girl whether he soon as I saw him blowing. I gently from the picture infatuation for them think he looked with the whirlwind conducted on the part parents are the last his church, so nee be polite."
Father began to "Anyway, I got" and as she expre now on we are "I had bought my wife and was going for the day she came heart!"
"You're a clerk Wright," my father fully extricated you commonly known And from now on you are thorough ing to your own without any assistance now," he smother ing to bed."
Chinese Pheasants Introduced Here
2000 Liberated in Southern California Last Week
The week ending October 16 was a red letter one for lovers of the great outdoors in Southern California. Sportsmen of all persuasions gathered at various points in the region south of the Tehachapi to witness the liberation of fish and game birds brought to this region by the California Fish and Game Commission to re-people the valleys and streams of this section.
Probably the most interesting item of the commission's game and fish planting program in this section of the state during the week past was the liberation of about two thousand Mongolian or ring-necked pheasants in San Bernardino, Riverside and Santa Barbara counties. Still others are to be liberated in San Diego county, and there may be still another planting of these splendid game birds in San Bernardino county.
One of the most interesting libertations was at Solvang, near Santa Ynez mission, on Saturday, October 16. Here Assistant Superintendent E. H. Lewis of the California state game farm, assisted by officials and members of the Santa Barbara County Sportman's Club, Patrol Captain C. S. Bauder of the Southern California district and Game Warden Frank Dunne set at liberty more than 250 birds, all of them over five months old. A beautiful setting in green alfalfa fields along the Santa Ynez river had been chosen for the future home of the birds, upon which there is a perpetual closed season until such time as the state legislature sees fit to declare the birds prevalent in sufficient numbers for a short shooting season and limited bag.
More than 75 residents of Santa Barbara county, drawn from every section of the region, were in attendance to welcome the birds and witness the liberation.
Other liberations were made on the Cooley ranch, near Colton, in San Bernardino county. Both locations were pronounced excellent by Assistant Superintendent Lewis.

the future home of the birds, upon which there is a perpetual closed season until such time as the state legislature sees fit to declare the birds prevalent in sufficient numbers for a short shooting season and limited bag.
More than 75 residents of Santa Barbara county, drawn from every section of the region, were in attendance to welcome the birds and witness the liberation.
Other liberations were made on the Cooley ranch, near Colton, in San Bernardino county. Both locations were pronounced excellent by Assistant Superintendent Lewis.
Commissioner Ralph H. Clock of Long Beach attended some of the game bird plantings and urged local sportsmen to protect them until such time as they have established themselves and their kind in quantities. At Solvang, the local justice of the peace declared that any violator of the law governing taking of pheasants brought before him would be given the maximum penalty.
On Wednesday, October 13, Ross McCloud of the fish culture department of the commission, and Game Warden J. H. Gygger, conveyed a large shipment of spiny-rayed fish to Lake Elsinore, where they were planted for the pleasure of sportsmen of the future. This shipment included 300 perch of the "blue gill" variety and 300 crapple, the latter being one of the finest eating fish of its species in California waters.
"PERIOD OF GRACE"
The so-called "period of grace" clause of the state motor vehicle act, which gives traffic violators five days in which to appear in court on misdemeanor charges after the offense has been committed, will be a target which California traffic officers hope to shoot full of holes when they meet at Sacramento for the annual convention of the California Association of Highway Patrolmen, November 9, 10 and 11.
Numerous complaints have been made by the officers to Will H. Marsh, chief of the division of motor vehicles, that this clause enables the violator to either leave the country entirely or bring such pressure to bear on local officials as to make their conviction impossible.
Marsh believes the law should be strengthened to empower the officer to take the violator immediately into custody or to, at least, use his discretion as to whether the violator should be held.
Yet there was nothing I could do to get out of the hopeless mess I had created for myself but to wait and pray that Salle wouldn't chuck me entirely out of her life."
"And after she left things were worse than ever, I suppose?" dad asked with real concern in his voice.
"No! The girl, just as I had supposed, began to tire of my indifference, and started looking about for 'other worlds.' A new and good-looking minister arrived in town. He created quite a furore in the church. He was a modernist and began tearing down all the old traditions and beliefs. That just just the picturesque background

Constipation!
How to Keep Bowels Regular
DR. W. B. CALDWELL
AT THE AGE OF 83
To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monticello, Ill., a practicing physician for 67 years, it seemed cruel that so many constipated men, women, children, and particularly old folks, had to be kept constantly "sirred up" and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calomel and nasty oils.
While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all headaches, billiousness, indigestion and stomach misery, he did not believe that a sickening "purge" or "physic" was necessary.
In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxative which helps to establish natural bowel "regularity" even for those chronically constipated. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin not only causes a gentle bowel movement but, best of all, it never gripes; sickens, or upsets the system. Besides, it is absolutely harmless, and so pleasant that even a cross, feverish, billious, sick child gladly takes it.
Buy a large 60-cent bottle at any store that sells medicine or write "Syrup Pepsin," Monticello, Illinois, for a FREE SAMPLE BOTTLE and just see for yourself.
