had heard ot stern, hard hearted eld
John .Mai-h. Mrs. .Nellie l'aiuers. the
orphan ehihl of a brother. Ii.nl heen
iidot'ted hy the aid man. Later he
also took charge of Kinder ltoss,
tlistaiit relative. Mr. Marsh did not
sit iii to disapprove t.f his ward's nuir
rinue to Alliert Iianvers. Yel, hile
the) were off on their honeymoon he
hud written to ! lie in, forhlddini; them
to ever approach him lu'iiin in any
way.
Nellie hail written, pleading for an
explanation. It was coldly refused.
The net thine she heard was that
her uncle was iii'niii'iiii; to will his
fortune to Kunlce. Then he whs
shocked to hear of the death of the
hitter. Simv then old John Marsh
hud shut himself in to a miserly, cheer
less existence.
"John Marsh, ltushville," reivlved
the parcels post package two days
later. He carried it Into the house,
opened it. nml read the tiny childish
note it contained. His eyes n'ared.
He flitted Ills teeth as he cave the
squeaky doll a IlitiK through a dnor
wiiy. Into the room Kunlce had once
im 'cu p led.
All the same, he did Hot sleep very
well that Illicit.
A sipicuk, clear mid distinct, sound-
I eil tht'oucli the house. Noiselessly the
old man arose from his lied and
reached the sittlnK room. In the one
he,t ond, when' he hud litinc the doll,
was a llfcht. lie seized a gun he kept
always loaded, crept to the open door
way, and made out two masked men
ransacking a desk that hud not been
opened since Kuuli'elied.
I'.uiin ! John Marsh tired mid the
but'!,rUirs disappeared.
The old man found a bait b'ft be
hind by the btirnlars tilled w ith jnoney
and pallets secured from his own
wardrobe. Then, as he bejjan to piek
up the papers strewn about from the
desk Kunlce hud owned, he made a
NtartliiiK discovery.
What had estranged him from Nel
lie was a letter apparently In her
handwriting shown him by the plot
ting Kunice. Addressed to her lover,
It referred to her uncle In sneeriiK'
terms, telling how she cured only for
the foinuie he might leave her. Now,
among the scattered papers, John
Mursh found evidences of Kunlce hav
ing laboriously practiced to counter
feit Nellie's handwriting.
Towards the end of the week, as
Kisle was sitting In the garden, ail old
man opened the gate. Carefully re
packed, he carried the parcels post
package.
"Why," shouted the little miss, itll
smiles and dimples "I know who you
are grandpa 'cause that's the bolt 1
sent, and oh, I must tell mamma!"
"It was a tearful, yet happy inter
view, that which followed between
uncle ami niece. All was explained,
urn! when Mr. Panvers came home
that evening, lie learned that all th"
family were to return to Itushvlile,
where he was to have a free, glad
some life caring for the old mini's
properly.
"Hear little child." said John Marsh,
fondly stroking the golden-haired
fairy who hud brought all this about
"my 'o.ine saved, my old-linie hap
piness hack to me, all through you
and that blessed parcels post."

They prefer Camels because Camels give them the
, smoothest, mellowest smoke they can buy because
they love the mild, rich flavor of choicest tobaccos,

want fine tobacco in your cigarettes. You'll find it
in Camels. f ' ,
And, mind you, no flashy package just for show.
No extra wrappers! No costly frills! These things

or coupons. .
But QUALITY! Listen! That's CAME LvS!

ALL furbished up with new ideas
In styles and trimmings, our fa
vorite suitings return to us this fall,
AS Interesting as they ever were.
They are as welcome as our favorite
actresses are when tliey cmno back to
the footlights with a tjew play and a
new wardrobe. There are few novel
ties among the fabrics used fur suits
and frocks, but this Is uf tin conse
quence. We know the merits of those
we have tried and I hey are here
againj-ln styles Hint are charming
nnd In decorations that are beautiful
nnd more or less unfamiliar.
Tricotine and poiret twill show how
Interesting they may become in such
dresses as thnsp pictured here unil
embroidery takes on it new aspect
when It appears In s.ich unusual rle
Klgns. Many new Ideas are embodied In
the dress of poiret twill at Hie left
of the two shown. First, Its tinder
skirt Is wider, but not much longer
than underskirts have been, (her it
there Is a pirmcnt which appears to be
a union of the riVllnirote and tunic
with pipings In a contrasting color
along Its seams mid embroidery In the
colors of both dress and piping. Plait
Ings give a flare to the skirt of the
over garment and finish the elbow
sleeves. The sash of folded satin
ribbon begins at the sides, under silk
ornaments, and Is finished with silk
tncxels.
The handsome dress of tricotine at
the right is a plainer redingote model,
also approving a wider and somewhat
flaring underskirt. It has three-quarter
length sleeves, that just suggest the
hell shape and are split up the outside
seam. The plain body of this over
garment opens ihnvn the front reveal
ing a salin veslee and it stands hy the
vognp for narrow, strap belts made
of the material. N'eck, sleeves and
bottom of the overdress are finished
with silk embroidery In a new and
rich design. Part of this embroidery
turns on i to be a silk braid, hut most
of it Is stitchery. Both dresses are
much toned up by their decorations.

HI-'. UK are two coals that will meet
fall weather on Us own terms,
lioth of them are cozy, but one of
them hints of winter and the other
recalls summer, just as the du.ts of
nut until do, and one of them Is a new
model which expects to niivt the
snows of winter, while the other will
undertake to last out the fall and per
haps migrate to snow less cliimV.
The dark coat pictured Is of suede
velours and has a large collar of
beaver fur. It Is a trim, youthful
model and Incorporates several of the
season's new style points, along lines
that will appeal to young women. The
college girl will like 1t. It has a
narrow girdle made of the velours,
hanging In long ends that are weight
ed with silk ornaments. This model
follows the lines of the figure closely,
and has three plaits on each side run
ning from the shoulder to the line of
the bust. The slorves1 are (luring, but
mailas coat sleeves go -so that the
alius me free in them. Two very
laiL'e bullous fasten the coat, and the
lollar may be brought up about the
Ihioiil ami fastened there. The cuffs
ami bottom of tltc coat are trimmed
w ith silk stitching. Coats or this charac
ter are made In the usual colors, the
dark blues, browns, grays and tans
that never grow tiresome.
The coat at the right of rough wool
in a light tan has a border of angora
enlivened with dots of hltie In two
shades. It Is a loose, enveloping wrap
that needs the help of an efficient gir
dle and this Is provided, niade of the
material .f the coat. A wrap of this
kind is a very comforting possession,
especially to the traveler whose Jour
neying hr'ngs nnlooked for changes In
temperature.

Save your pennies while you may;
Now's the time to do it.
If you spend them carelessly,
In later life you'll rue it.
