Pinkham's Vegeta liiSBil ble Compound had helped his wife, so my husband bought I me a bottle because I was so run-down, had a nervous weak ness, no strength in my body and pains in my left side so bad that I could hardly do my work. Before I was mar ried I used to work I in the factory, and I had pains just the same then as I have had since I have done my housework. I would not be without a bottle in the house now.

It is going to be the 'old reliable' with me hereafter, and I am always willing to tell other women how it has helped me.

You never read my sonnet-sequence on spring, did you'.''' "No. What other poets did she like besides you'.'" "Tennyson principally," said Eus tace Ilignett with a reminiscent quiver in his voice. "The hours- we have spent together reading the "Idylls of the King :' " "The which of what?" inquired Sam. taking a pencil from his pocket and shooting out a cuff. ' 'The Idylls of the King.' My good man, I know you have a soul which would be considered inadequate by a common earthworm, but you have surely beard of Tennyson's 'Idylls of the King?' " "Oh, those! Why, my dear old chap; Tennyson's 'Idylls of the King!' Well. I should say! Have I heard of Ten nyson's 'Ldylls of the King?' Well, really! I suppose you haven't a copy with you on board by any chance?" "There is a copy in my kit-bag. The very one we used to read together. Take it and keep it or throw it over board. I don't want to see it again." Sam prospected among the shirts, collars and trousers in the bag and presently came upon a morocco-bound volume. He laid it beside him on the lounge. "Little by little, hit by bit," he said, "I am beginning to form a sort of pic ture of this girl, this what was her name again? Bennett this Miss Ben nett. You have a wonderful knack of description. You make her seem so real and vivid. Tell me some more about her. She wasn't keen on golf, by any chance, I suppose?" "I believe she did play. The subject came up once and she seemed rather enthusiastic. Why?" "Well, I'd much sooner talk to a girl about golf than poetry." "You are hardly likely to be in a position to talk to Wilhelmina Bennett about either, I should imagine." j "No. there's that, of course. I was thinking of girls in general. Some girls ' bar golf, and then it's rather difficult i to know how to start conversation. : But, tell me, were there any topics I which got on Miss Bennett's nerves, if I you know what I mean? It seems to I me that at one time or another you I may have said something that offended ; her. I mean, it seems curious that she should have broken off the engagement If you had never disagreed or quar i reled about anything." ; "Well, of course, there was always ! the matter of that dog of hers. She 1 had a dog, you know, a snappy brute I of a Pekingese. If there was ever any shadow of disagreement between us, it had to do with that dog. I made rather a point of it that I would not have it aibout the home after we were mar ried." "I see!" said Sam. He shot his cuff once more and wrote on it : "Do--con-ciliate." "Yes, of course, that must have wounded her." "Not half so much as he wounded me! He pinned me by the ankle the day before we Wilhelmina and I, I mean were to have been married. It Is some satisfaction to me in my broken state to remember that I got home on the little beast with consider able juiciness and lifted him clean over the Chesterfield." Sam shook his head reprovingly. "You shouldn't have done that!" he said. He extended his cuff and added the words "Vitally important" to what he had just written. "It vvas probably that which decided her." "Well, I hate dogs," said Eustace Hignett querulously. "I remember Wilhelmina once getting quite an noyed with me because I refused to By P. Q. UJODEHOUSE Co. step in nd separate a couple of the brutes, absolute strangers to me, who were lighting in the street. I reminded her that we were all fighters nowa days, that life itself was in a sense a light ; but she wouldn't be reasonable about it. She said that Sir Galahad would have done it like a shot. I thought not. We had no evidence what soever that Sir Galahad was ever called upon to do anything half as dangerous. And, anyway, he wore ar mor, (live me a suit of mail reaching well down over the ankles, and 1 will willingly intervene in a hundred dog tights. But in thin tlannel troupers, no !" Sam rose. His heart was light. He had never, of course, supposed that the girl was anything but perfect ; but It was nice to tind his high opinion of her corroborated by one who had no rea son to exhibit her in a favorable light. He understood her point of view md sympathized with it. An idealist, bow could she trust herself to Kustace Hig nett? How could she be content with a craven who, instead of scouring the world in the quest for deeds of derring do, had fallen down so lamentably on his first assignment? There was a s'peoious attractiveness about poor old Kustace which might conceivably win a girl's heart for a time: he wrote poetry, talked well, and had a nice singing voice ; but, as a partner for life . . . well, he simply wouldn't do. That was all there was to it. He simply didn't add up right.. The man a girl like Wilhelmina Bennett required for it husband was .somebody entirely different . . . somebody, felt Sam uel Marlowe, much more like Samuel Marlowe. Swelled almost to bursting-point with these reflect ions, he went on deck to join the ante-luncheon promenade. He saw Billie almost at (dice. She had put on one of these nice saeky sport-coats whieh so enhance feminine charms, and was striding along the deck with the breeze playing in her vivid hair like the female equivalent of a Viking. Beside her walked voting Mr. Bream Mortimer. Sam had been feeling a good deal of a fellow already, but at the sight of her welcoming smile his self-esteem almost caused him to explode. What magic there is in a girl's smile! It is the raisin which, dropped in the yeast of male complacency, induces fermen tation. "oh, there you nre, Mr. Marlowe!" "oh, there you are," said Bream Mortimer, with a slightly different in flection. "I thought I'd like a breath of fresh air before lunch,'' said Sam. "Oh, Bream!" said the girl. "Hello?" "Do be a darling and take this great heavy coat of mine down to my Mate room will you? I had no ide;i it was so warm." "I'll carry it," said Bream. "Nonsense. I wouldn't dream of burdening you with it Trot along and put it on the berth. It doesn't matter about folding it up." "All right," siiid Bream moodily. He trotted along. There are mo ments when a man feels that all he needs in order to be a delivery wagon is a horse and a driver. "He had better chirrup to the dog while lie's there, don't you think?" sug gested Sam. He felt that a resolute "I Love It. How Extraordinary That We Should Have So Much in Common." man with legs as long as Bream's might well deposit a cloak on a berth and be back under the half-minute. "Oh, yes ! Bream !" "Hello?" "While you're down there just chir rup a little more to poor Pinky. He does appreciate it so !" Bream disappeared. It is not always easy to interpret emotion from a glance at a man's back ; but Bream's back looked like that of a man to whom tht thought has occurred that, given a couple of fiddles and a piano, he would hnve made a good hired orchestra. "How Is your desj little dog, by the way?" inquired Sam solicitously, as he fell into step by her side. "Much better now, thanks. I've made friends with a girl on board did you ever hear her name Jane Hubbard she's a rather well-known big-game hunter and she fixed up some sort of a mixture for Pinky which did him a world of good. I don't know what was in It except Worcester sauce, but she said she always gave it to her mules in Africa when they had the botts . . . it's very nice of you to speak so affection ately of poor Pinky when he bit you." "Animal spirits!" said Sam tolerant ly." Pure animal sjnrits: I like to see them. But, of course, I love all dogs." " h, do you? So do I !" "I only wish they didn't fight so much. I'm always stopping dog fights." 'T do admire a man win- knows what to dt) at a dog fight. I'm afraid I'm rather helpless myself. There never seems anything to catch hold of." She looked down. "Have you been reading? What is the book?" "It's a volume of Tennyson." "Are you fond of Tennyson?" "I worship him," said Sam reverent ly. "Thoso " he glanced at his cuff -"those Idylls of the. King! I do not I'M' io tiutiK wtial an ocean voyage would be if 1 had not my Tennyson with inc." "We must road him together. He is m v favorite poet !" "We will There is something about lennyson. "Yes, isn't there! I've felt that my- self so often !" ''Some poets are whales at epics and till that sort of tiling, while others call it a day when they've written some thing that runs to a couple of verses, but where Tennyson had the bulge was that his long game was just as good as his short. He was great off the tee and a marvel with his chip-shots." "That sounds as though you played golf." "When I am not rer-ding Tennyson, you can generally find me out on the links. Do you play?" "I love it. How extraordinary that we should have so much in common. We really ought to be great friends." lie was pausing to select the best of three replies when the lunch bugle s uinded. "Oh, dear!" she cried. "I must rush. But we shall see one another again up here afterward?" "We will," said Sam. "We'll sit and read Tennyson." "Fine! Kr--you and 1 and Morti mer?" "oh, no, Bream is going to sit down below and look after poor Pinky." "Does he does tie "Not yet," said Pi to tell him at lunch.' know he lie. "I'm is . ,'oing CHAPTER IV It was the fourth morning of the voyage. Of course, when this story is dime in the movies they won't be satisfied with a bald statement like that; they will have a Spoken Title or a Cut-Back Sub-t'aption or whatever they call the thing in the low dens where motion-picture scenario-lizards do their dark work, which will run: "And so, calm and golden, the days went by, each fraught with hope and youth and sweetness linking two young hearts in silken fetters forged by the laughing Love-God" and the males in the audience will shift their chewing gum to the other cheek and take a firmer grip of their companions' hands and the man at the piano will play "Kverybody wants a key to my cellar" or something equal ly appropriate, very soulfully and slowly, with a wistful eye on the half smoked cigarette which he has parked on the lowest octave and Intends fin ishing as soon as the picture Is over. But I prefer the plain frank statement that it was the fourth day of the voy age. That Is my story and I mean to stick to it Samuel Marlowe, muffled In a bath robe, came back to the stateroom from his tub. His manner had the offen sive jauntiness of the man who has had a cold bath when he might just as easily have had a hot one. He looked out of the porthole at the shim mering sea. He felt strong and hap py and exuberant It w as not merely the spiritual pride induced by a cold bath that was up lifting this young man. The fact was that, as he toweled his glowing back, he had suddenly come to the decision that this very tkiy he would propose to Wilhelmina Bennett. Yes, he would put his fortune to the test, to win or lose it all. True, he had only known her for four days, but what of that? Nothing In the way of modern prog ress Is more remarkable than the manner In which the attitude of your lover has changed concerning pro posals of marriage. When Samuel Marlowe's grandfather had convinced himself, after about a year and a half of respectful aloofness, that the emo tion which he. felt towards Samuel Marlowe's grandmother-to be was love, the fashion of the period compelled him to approach the matter in a round about way. First, he spent an eve- ning or two singing sentimental bal lads, she accompanying him on the ! piano and the rest of the lamily sit j ting on the side lines to see that no i rough si tiff was pulled. Having noted ! that she drooped her eyelashes and turned faintly pink when he came to the "Thee only thee!" bit, he felt a mild sense of encouragement, strong enough to justify him in taking her sister aside next day and asking if the object of his affections ever hap pened to mention Ids name in the course of conversation. Further pour parlers having passed with her aunt, two more1 sisters, and her little broth er, he felt that the moment had ar rived when he might send her a vol ume of Shelley, with some of the pas sages marked in pencil. A few weeks later, he Interviewed her father and obtained his consent to the paying of his addresses. And finally, after writing her a letter which began "Madam ! you will not have been in sensible to the fact that for some time past you have inspired in my bosom feelings deeper than those of ordinary '1 Am, I Am the Bandolero! Yes, Yes, I Am the Bandolero!" friendship, in the rose he waylaid rarden and brought her the thing off. How different is the behavior of the modern young man. His courtship can hardly be called a courtship at all. His methods are those of Sir W. S. j (iilbert's 'Iphonso.'' I Alphonso. who for cool assurance all ! creation licks, ; tie up and said to Emily who has i cheek enough for six: "Miss Emily. T love you. Will you marry? Say the word!" And Emily said: "Certainly, Alphonso, like a bird!" Sam Marlowe was a bright young man and did not require a year to make up hLs mind that Wilhelmina Bennett had been set apart by Fate from the beginning of time to he his bride. He had known it from the mo ment he saw her on the oock, and all the subsequent strolling, reading, talking, soup-drinking, tea-drtnking, and shuffle-board-playing which they had done together had merely solidi fied his original Impression. He loved this girl with all the force of a fiery nature the fiery nature of the Mar lowes was a by-word in Bruton street, Berkeley square and something seemed to whisper that she loved him. At any rate she wanted somebody like Sir Galahad, and, without wishing to hurl bouquets at himself, he could not see where she could possibly get any one liker Sir Galahad than himself. So, wind and weather permitting, Samuel Marlowe intended to propose to Wilhelmina Bennett this very day. He let down the trick basin which hung beneath the mirror and, collect ing his shaving materials, began to lather his face. "I am the Bandolero!" sang Sam blithely through the soap, "I am, I am the Bandoler.. ! Yes, yes, I am the Bandolero !" The untidy heap of bedclothes In the lower berth stirred restlessly. "Oh, G d !" said Eustace Hignett thrusting out a tousled head. Sam regarded his cousin with com miseration. Horrid things had been happening to Eustace during the last few days, and it was quite a pleasant surprise each morning to find that he was still alive. "Feeling bad again, old man?" "I was feeling all right," replied Hignett churlishly, "until you began the farmyard imitations. What sort of a day is it?" "Glorious ! The sea . . ." "Don't talk about the sea!"
