naheim, Calif., March 12, 1931 By KATHLEEN NORRIS Eleventh Installment Maggie Johnson, whose father is a letter carrier, her mother a lazy woman who has "seen better days," and her sister a bootlegger's sweetheart who works in a beauty parlor, is stock girl in the "Mack" stores, the Five-and-Ten of San Francisco. A boy whom she knows only as "Joe Grant," but who is really Joseph Grant MacKinzie Merrill, son of the owner of the "Mack," is learning the business by starting at the bottom. He doesn't like the job until he meets Maggie. And neither of them realizes that they are falling in love with each other, at first. Joe is impressed, however, by Maggie's intelligence and good-heartedness, and gives her advice on the subject nearest her heart, how to live the ideal life. She makes a suggestion for a better way of selling certain lines. He tells his father, as if it were his own idea, greatly pleasing the old man. He finds that the girls he used to know don't interest him as much as Maggie does, and when Maggie discuses her love in a burst of jealousy, he realizes that he loves her too. Joe is afraid that if Maggie finds out who he really is she will not have anything more to do with him. So he pretends that it is some other fellow's car when he takes her home in his big yellow roadster. An on the way they talk, at last, about marriage. Joe that night reveals to his father for the first time that he has been working in the store under an assumed name, and tells him about Maggie. Joe's mother has him invite Maggie to a fine dinner party at a fashionable restaurant. There Maggie gets her first intimation that he is something besides a boy in the store. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Quiet! He had never seen her so quiet. She had conquered her first suffocating rush of shyness, she was sitting erect, and when he or his Maggie looked at him unmotionally. He didn't do very well there, for awhile," she admitted quietly, "but now he is doing very well—good—she changed it again under her breath—very well. They all like him." "I'm proud to hear it," George Merrill said thankfully. "Maggie," Joe began at this point comfortably, "thought that I was the dumbest thing she had ever gotten hold of, didn't you, Maggie? She gave me my first start." "I didn't know who he was," she explained, with a patient glance at his mother. Something happened to Mrs. Merrilli in that second. "You had no idea who Joe was?" "Nobody did." said Maggie. "What did you call yourself, Joe?" hismother asked. "Joe Grant." There was an interruption. A dance had ended, and a girl and young man came up to the Merrills' table. Joe and his father stood up, and a waiter pulled up another chair, and the girl—perfumed and rouged and beautiful gown—and sat down negligently and easily was introduced to Maggie Johnson. Miss Millicent Itussell studied the otter It was all like a horrible drear Maggie, exhausted, confused, weared almost beyond bearing fresh blow. The approaching were her father, diffident and bated frightened, and her mother tated and bold. Pop's shabby old cult, baggy limp, Pop's searching rabbit eye bowed, meek little shoulders, doubly pitiful here, and Ma, wi black velfall falling impressively fro hat she had evidently assume great haste, and the dark hair tidy strings beneath it, and the minuscule black cape she wore nerals bellying about her like was the target for all the eyes room. Maggie felt her mouth fill with water, and her throat thicken, a legs grow weak. She said: "The father and mother; Joe." Joe had the waiter once again to chairs to the table, and Mrs. Johnson, obviously dazzled astonished, sat down and were duced. "I ast him was there someone named Grant, and he says, 'No Mrs. Johnson.' It was just happened to look in the door at Maggie." tends that it is some other occasion when he takes her home in his big yellow roadster. An on the way they talk, at last, about marriages to his father for the first time that he has been working in the store under an assumed name, and tells him about Maggie. Joe's mother has her invite Maggie to a fine dinner party at a fashionable restaurant. There Maggie gets her first intimation that he is something besides a boy in the store. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Quiet! He had never seen her so quiet. She had conquered her first suffocating rush of shyness, she was sitting erect, and when he or his mother or father smoke, she answered. Her look told him that he had betrayed her, delivered her, bound and helpless, to her enemies. "I trusted you—I loved you when you were a shabby, dirty errand clerk, beside me in a cheap store," said Maggie's eyes, "and all the time you were my employer's son, ready to shame me—when your moment came!" She helped herself, awkwardly, unfamiliarly, to food, when it was presented at her left elbow on the big platters. But he noted with a real show of shame and concern that she hardly touched it. "Would you ask the help if I could have some more water?" she said once. And Mrs. Merrill said quite audibly, if in an aside, "Oh, priceless!" Joe looked down, his face dark. "Mother——" he murmured, choking. A faint smile touched the older woman's painted mouth, and she said graciously: "I beg pardon?" "Water to Miss Johnson." Mrs. Merrill said annoyedly. It was the business to see that the guest's glass was filled, but Mrs. Merrill felt奇怪ly irritated with the guest who had had to can attention to the window. "And a fork, please." Maggie added. She said it so low, with such embarrassment, taunt, noisy near it. "And a fork, please," Maggie repeated, audibly now. "A fork for my fish," she said, clearing her throat. "And a fork—while you're up." "While you're up!" Mrs. Merrill's lips twitched, as if unvilling. Her sardonic triumphant glance, as it met Joe's wretched, defiant gaze, expressed a certain reluctance to laugh at his unfortunate little humble friend, but an inability to resist the tremendous temptation. In such a situation as this to-night she could score. Not very clever, not really a gentlewoman, she was still enough of each to snub and suppress Maggie Johnson. She enjoyed the chance. To feel herself this girl's superior, to cut her easily and carelessly in a bored, beautiful cultivated voice gave Lilian Merrill real satisfaction. She had been, as a girl, of that miserable and superfluous class known as shappy genteel. At twenty-five, Lillian was shary, eager, beautiful, hungry. She fell upon George Merrill with avidity; he was a cowherder, but he was rich. Maggie felt her legs grow weak. She said: "That's may father mother, Joe." girl comfortably, insolently, as she asked. "Joe. I hear you're going to Japan?" "I may go." "May go? Why. I thought—" said Millicent innocently, turning to Mrs. Merrill—"I thought you said something of a little good-bye dinner tonight. Mrs. Merrill? I though he was going tomorrow? The colour drained from Maggie's face. Mrs. Merrill laughed uneasily as she said: "Well. I think it is practically settled, isn't it, Joe? Millicent, her bright, mischievous eyes reading all their faces, changed the subject tactfully and presently went on her way. Then Maggie, in the little pause that followed the other girl's chattering and laughing good-eyes, said steadily: "I'm going to ask you will excuse me and let me go home now. Mrs. Merrill. I oughtn't to have come—I know that. But I didn't understand. You and his father have been pretty well worried about me, maybe. But poor boy—and that if he loved her, hed it was because I thought Joe was a be glad to marry a girl as poor as me!—Don't speak to me, Joe. I'm done with you—to-night. I never would have come here, ma'am," she added, so Mrs. Merrill. "I never would have given you any worry—if I had known. We were working together only this afternoon, and he asked me would I meet his folks—" She faltered for a second, went on. "I thought maybe you and Mr. Grant were like us—I thought I'd be some little place like we have. I might have known—I might have known Joe wasn't like..." she could score. Not very clever, not really a gentlewoman, she was still enough of each to snub and suppress Maggie Johnson. She enjoyed the chance. To feel herself this girl's superior, to cut her easily and carelessly in a bored, beautiful cultivated voice gave Lilian Merrill real satisfaction. She had been, as a girl, of that miscrabs and superfluous class known as shabby genteel. At twenty-five, Lillian was shary, eager, beautiful, hungry. She fell upon George Merrill with avidity; he was a commoner, but he was rich. He was the first real man she had ever met, and to her own surprise and confusion she had come to like him very much, to feel a strange loyalty and admiration for her commoner. His indifference to her family's ideals and opinions was—well, simply breathtaking! In the more than twenty years of their marriage, George Merrill had changed her somewhat. He was a good, simple fellow, amazed at his success, proud of his wife, adoring his boy. It was at about this time, when by her brightened eyes and nervous voice, and by the two scarlet spots that blazed in her cheeks, Maggie began to show the effects of the surprise and the strain, that George Merrill suddenly took a hand in the conversation. He had been an almost silent spectator, so far, watching his wife and his son shrewdly, sensing an occasional glance toward the girl. "You work in the Stores, Miss Johnson?" "In Number Seven—on Eighth. Yes, sir." "How long have you been there? You don't look old enough to have been there very long?" The kind, democratic voice steadied her. She breathed easier, looked him in the eye. "I'm eighteen. I went in nearly four years ago, when I finished Grammar-My father and mother had—considerable trouble." "Your father's living, then?" "My father's a postman." George Merrill insisted with genuine concern, he had been trying to put her at ease. "Weil," he said pleasantly, "I think I owe that store a debt of gratitude. My son Joe, here seems to have gotten a lot more out of it than he ever did out of college!" ANAHEIM GAZETTE Merrill said suddenly, "How much have you?" "It happens that I ain't got more than a quarter," Len Johnson said, in his reedy, troubled little voice. "But we reely couldn't take it from you," Ma added. "I expose you gosh! will be young folks!" she said to Ms Merril, "and it ain't as if Liz had with stealing or anything like that. But I thought I would drop where I stood when that cop walked in. I'm not acustomed to having my daughter get into trouble—" "Ma," Maggie said. And Joe's father noted that she only touched the older woman on the arm. But her mother immediately began a sort of rotary curtseying in farewell. "Maggie—Maggie—why do you go—why do you mix yourself up in this?" Joe said wretchedly and incoherently, her by the arm. Maggie was on hed feet now, sheherding her father and mother away.

CALDWELL WAS RIGHT The basis of treating sickness has not changed since Dr. Caldwell left Medical College in 1875, nor since he placed on the market the laxative prescription he had used in his practice. He treated constipation, biliousness, headaches, mental depression, indigestion, sour stomach and other indispositions entirely by means of simple vegetable laxatives, herbs and roots. These are still the basis of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepain, a combination of sanna and other mild herbs, with pepsin. The simpler the remedy for constipation, the safer for the child and for you. And as you can get results in a mild and safe way by using Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepain, why take chances with strong drugs? A bottle will last several months, and all can use it. It is pleasant to the taste, gentle in action, and free from narcotics. Elderly people find it ideal. All drug stores have the generous bottles or write "Syrup Pepain," Dept.
