NED IS CALLED IN TO HELP.
At the end of her story Miss Laura's
eyes were moist. She sat trying to
hide the . emotions within her, yet ob
viously on the verge of weeping every
bit as hard as her friend, Sally, had
done.
"That's our Cherry for you. Just the
Sort of thing she would do, poor darling,
so far away, so lonely, and so, so un
happy. 'Most Christmas time, too, and
with her heart and thoughts full of
her Ned, I warrant, in spite of pride.
Well, what you and I have got' to do,
Sally, is to bring those two young peo
ple together aerain before the end of
the week. We've got to give Cherry
the most wonderful Christmas of her
whole life. Now let's set our minds to
working."
'"Deed we will. There's nothing I
won't do for the dearest and best girl
in the world," said Mrs. Randall, ferv
ently. "Why for all my meannesses
to hex she's turned round and made me
grateful to her for life It's no wonder
that Ned stuck to her through all my
peevishness. We'll get him right over
here, now, Laura.'
"Will he be able to leave the office?"
asked Miss Laura.
"He's just got to leave it, no matter
what. I know he's been terribly rushed
since Arline quit so suddenly. Has had
to attend to al his correspondence him
self and is at sixes and sevens. ' But
this is more important than all the cor
respondence and business in the world.
You ring him up, like a dear, and tell
him we must see him."
Miss Laura promptly did, so and while
they waited for him to appear Mrs.
Randall tried .to draw her out on the
sudden disappearance of Ned's secre
tary. "You were the last person that saw
her, Laura, and you called on her once
or twice before she left town. What on
earth was behind her quick decision to
leave us? She seemed so glad to get
back again and things were going just
fine at the office till she went, Ned
saj-s."
"Well. I think, to tell you the truth,
that Arline met some attractive young
fellow before she left Chicago and he
had written to her several times. You
know how fast those things go, often
as not. She hod broken off with Peter
Wilson and probably saw that there
was reallv no reascn for her 1 3 stay
around this part of the country any J
more, and made up her mind to go. it s
much better all round, I think. I feel
very .sorry for Arline, somehow. She's
not a happy young girl and she has a
lot of false notions. Maybe in a few
vears she'll settle down andrealize that
life is well worth while, after all."
And this was all that Miss Laura
volunteered. She remembered her
promise to the weeping girl who had
confessed to loving Ned above honor it
self, when she produced the letter that
had so nearly vrecked the happiness
of two people. Miss Laura was all
round human in every way. In her
heart was room for the sinner as well
as the saint.
' "Here comes Ned now," exclaimed
Mrs. Randall, joyfully, as she saw her
son's tall form coming up the garden
path.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Please tell
me what to do. My first cousin and I
have been companions since childhood.
I thought that we were just good old
pals and nothing else. I never knew that
he loved .me until a few weeks ago
when he told me that he did and that
he wants me to marry him.
I don't love him enough to marry him
but he says I must or he will never get
over it. I think too much of him to
see his life ruined when I could make
him happy. What should I do?
ANXIOUS MARY.
Talk to a, physician about marrying
your cousin. He will be able to give
you a medical point of view, which is
the only thing you should consider in a
matter of so much 'importance.
"Marion": You should return the
pearl ring since you do not love the
young man enough to marry him. His
mother would wish him to keep it in his
possession uptil he gives it as an en
gagement ring.
I certainly do not think you should
let "fellows" kiss you and make love
to you. And I do not think it is "only
sissies" who don't. It takes more char
acter to be careful in such matters than
to be promisenous. Kisses are cheapen-ing-
except when given with a heart full
of love.,

r King's Pills-
last spring I have been going with a
young man who seemed to love me
dearly. He never told me that he did.
but he came to see me often and he
took me everywhere I wanted to go.
He also wanted to kiss me when we
were together and I cared so much for
him that I let him. About two months
ago I thought it would be nice to give
him a dozen fine linen handkerchiefs
for his Christmas present which I
would embroider and initial. I got the
linen and made three of them and now
I have had a letter from him telling me
that he is not coming to see me any
more because he doese not care as
much for me as he thought he did and
he thinks it will be better if we do not
see each other again.
Hrou don't know how I have cried
over that letter. It seems to me that
I don't want to go on living if the man
I love doesn't care for me. I don't ex
pect to finish the other handkerchiefs,
but I wondered if it wouldn't be a good
idea to send him the three I have fin
ished to show him that I hold no re
sentment. What do you think?
HAZEL.
To send the handkerchiefs would be
a great mistake. Since the young man
has tokl you he does not care for you,
he would feel that you were running
after him and trying to make him come
back if you sent the handkerchiefs.
Rip out the initials and give them so
someone else.
You must show a brave heart over
this matter and take your trouble with
a smile on your lips. Almost every one
is disappointed in love at some time and
the situation has to be faced. Time, is
merciful and will gradually heal your
heartache.
