Iva Ellsworth Was the Dixie Rose.
I’ve a bijj^ish for Christmas myself,”
“Something pretty or useful?”
“It’s .pretty, useful and good—every-
tliinj.; tliat’s lovely and desirable.”
Iva’s eyes were on the package in
her lap, but she felt that he was look
ing at her in unconscious appraisal,
and her pulse leaped.
“Tell me about it Christmas eve-
nin}?. I mean,” she added a little con
fusedly, “whether you get it or not.”
“Indeed I will!” he promised.
jMiss Adriana Halstead, elderly and
somewhat neglected by her only rela
tives—her dead brother’s family—gave
a glad little cry when she saw her
older nephew in her door that evening.
Delniar felt a little prick of conscience
as he kissed her. For a few moments
the little woman fluttered about him
happily, then set about preparing the
evening meal she insisted he must
sliare. While she was out of the room
Delmur accidentally dropped his foun*
tain pen in her wastebasket.
As he fished it out, absently smooth
ing the sheets of crumpled note paper
in wliich it fell, his eyes Caught in his
aimt’s cramped scrawl: “To Mrs. Mir
iam Halstead, My Mother in Heaven.”
Wondering, he read on: “Everybody
but me is thinking of Christmas
wishes—gifts- possible for them to
have—and oh, mother darling, I must
tell someone what I know I cannot
have, or my heart will break!
“I want somebody of my people to
sit at my table to laugh ^nd to talk
with me, to live with me and love roe!
In the four years since you and father
went away I’ve been lonely—lonely!
“I could not bear it if it were not
for Delniiir. When he is bore I play
he lives with me, and I forget for a
blessed hour or so I am alone. And
oh,'' mother, my roses are going un
pruned, my fence unmended and my
house unpainted, and my clothes are
getting shabbier every day. I am
afraid they will soon not be respect
able enough for church. Oh, little
mother, I want a new dress. I want—‘
ch, mother, ought I to covet that coat
suit in Robertson & Co.’s window—the
blue Fren( h broadcloth , that would
just lit ineV—I—.
The words ended here. The writer
hud evidently crumpled the paper and
thrown it in the basket when she
heard his ring.
When Delmar went home he walked
by the corner and looked at the blue
suit. Tv.*>nty-five dollars represented
an engagi'uieut ring if Iva Ellsworth
would accept it. Iva lived with her
cousins in the next state and was used
to luxm-y, and his bookke^er’s salary
was <uiiy $75 a month, but Delmar had
resolved.
On Christmas eve Miss Adriana’s
doorbell rang to admit Robertson &
Co.’s porter with a great box marked
“With De-mar’s Love.” Under the lid
lay ii f.vigrant liunch of violets, a lacy
white shirtwaist, a pretty blue velvet
toqLue, a pair uf trim shoes and the
broadcloth suit of the window display.
Like one in a happy-dream' Mlaa
Adriana put on the uihigs and pres*
ently Delmar came in wearing bis jeve*
ning clothes.
Would she go with him to see the
play the young people of the town
were giving, “A Rose of Old Dixie.”
With her face like the dawu Miss
Adriana watched the players. Iva
Ellsworth was the Dixie Rose, a witch
ing heroine; I’suil Nelson^ her lover.,
Iva played her part with brilliancy,
but l*yul’s heart prompted his acting.
It was ft‘rvent> real.
Delmar’s mind was torn with Inde
cision. Hut neiir the end of the play
he looked at the little lonely woman
beside him. for the time pathetically
happy, and <iuite suddeidy his mind
was made up.
“Auniie.” he .'?nid abruptly to her
when they were again in her living
ro«»m, “will you let me come live with
you? Mother d«u'sn’t need me; she’s
goin;; to be iiiariifd soon to Dr. Ash
ley \Vy:itt. Vi'e'd be company for ea« h
otb.-r. If ycMi'li let me I’ll move my
ut.sk and oliur o\\,r tomorrow.”
Miss Adriana’s happiness of the eve
ning, compared with the new joy, was
as a drop of water to the ocean.
That evening Iva Ellsworth received
a bouquet of pink carnations and a
note that asked h»r to i)ardon the
writer for breaking iiis promi.se to call,
and begging lier to accept his congrat
ulations <»n the success of tlie play.
“I didn’t get what I wanted for
Christmas,” the note ended. “I didn’t
dare, in the face of things, to ask
for it.”
For several months the world held
no happier creature than Mi.ss Adri
ana. Then she oltserved that Delmar
had occasional tits of abstractedness,
unnatural to him. Gradually it
dawned upon, her that he was troubled
over something.
“Where is that pretty Ellsworth
girl now, Del, do you know?” she
asked him tentatively one morning
early in December.
He started at her question, and she
noticed with a sinking heart that the
paper he had shook a little.
“Bryce Garth told me yesterday Paul
Nelson was married,” he answered her,
“and .though Bryce didn’t know to
whom, I—I think it must be to. Miss
Ellsworth, auntie.”
Later in the day, searching for a
lost cuff butt<m of Delmar’s, she came
upon a picture of the girl.
“He loved her—he gave up asking
her to nnirry hini,” her troubled mind
reasoned, “to make a home for me.
And now he is grieving for her!”
As the weel;s passed Miss Adriana
pab'd under the weight of her secret
trouble. Delmar became uneasy for
her, and a few days before Christmas
sent her to the near-by city to see one
of his friends, a tine young physician
there.
Tliat afternoon while crossing the
stre«‘t to tlie railroad statiT)n Miss
Adviana felt herself caught and pulled
back just in time to escape being run
over by a heavy truck that came
around the corner. The girl who
.saved her heli>o<l her *o the ladies’
sitting room of the station, but when
her train came a few minutes later
she was too shaken and nervous to
attempt to board it.
“Oh. what will Delmar think when I
don’t come!" she exclaimed.
‘*t>elmar!” The pretty girl’s cheeks
grew a deeper pink, and Miss Adriana
knew her to be Iva Ellsworth.
“My nephew, Delmar Halstead, with
whom I live in Review,” she explained.
“Why, Review is only twenty-five
miles,” cried the girl; “I’ll telephone
him and he can come for you in an
automobile.”
When she came back Miss Adriana’s
lips trembled over a question.
“Are you—are you married, my
dear?”
When Delmar came Miss Adriana
was able to smile in wan gayety at
him.
“Where is the lady that saved you?”
he asked presently as he knelt beside

The CHEVROLET is The Car
The Worth of a Car is the Worth of the
Motor
*‘lt% the motor that makes the automobile from the stand>
point of utility,” says White, Woodward Auto Co., of Rosman, N.
C., local dealers in Chevrolet passenger and commercial cars. . . .
Hundreds of dollars may be spent on body comfort and ap
pearance, but in the end, the enjoyment of a car is Jimited to the
v.'orth cf the motor. Just as the heart is the center of life in
a human being, so the motor is the heart of the automobile. It
makes it go.
If .1 n:?n has a strong hear I he is rjensrally capable of
doinrf physical things. The ordinary tests of every day do not
.1 n ;.L i :hey do not wear him ori. He has endurance. He
Ig f:t and vigorous in his c’d age. In just the same
manner the capacity of a car for hard service and the length
of that service depends on the character of its motor. . It is be
cause so many people fail to grasp this important point that they
make so many costly experiments before finding real motoring
satisfaction. It is because of this that so many makes of auto
mobiles are permitted to flourish on the sole strength of attrac
tive surface features before public opinion snufFs^them out. . . .
On the other hand the most successful cars of tbday are
those whose motors have stood up to the tests of time. .They are
the kind in which the motor has been the first considration. .Then
the rest of th.^car has been built to fit the power of the motor.
In such cars the motor is not taxed by unnecessary weight.
Strength and flexibility have taken the place of bulk and the re
sult is greater riding comfort, endurance, freedom from repairs
and far more power at far less cost for fuel.

Miss Adriana took his face between

Buy Where Reputation
Counts
When you buy m'brchandise there is
great satisfaction in knowing that you
have received good value for your
money. But the satisfaction is greater
when ybu know in advance that the
vdue is going to be good.
That's what happens when you trade
at local stores, ^ere the desders have
go^ reputations to maintain and
where they do maintain them by sell
ing only good goods at fair prices.
When you buy from strangers you are
very apt to receive
mediocre valu§ at
price of better. For
your own protection
buy where reputa
tion counts-at home.
