The head of the Brooke household wa« again threaUnad with apoplexy. “And you expect to marry my daughter! Get out of this room, Con nie; I'm going to swear.” “Good advice Connie,” said "Hi Hedge. “You run away for a little while." Constance reached up and kissed her young map. “Father," ..he raid sternly, “l hold you personally responsible for any thing that happen# to him." Alice came in search of h“r half an hour later. “What in the world ha? happen ed? - he demanded. “And where is E. E. ? We've been looking ail over for you. Been a quarrel?” “Father ;* here!" announced • Con stance tragically. “Here? Holy Mo-ea! Where is he?" “In hi# room —with E. E” “What—-what did he say?” “You knew father. What’s the use of asking?” “What’s he going to do?” “That’s what K. E. i*. trying to find out.” “■He’a. with him?” Const a nee nodded uneasily. “Don’t, you worry about E, E., Connie. He isn’t as heavy a# father, but he’s more .scientific.” Having delivered this consolation, Alice returned to the party down - rtaijfH. Another half-hour elapsed before Conatanre was awakened from her jrloomy reverie by the arnearstnc- >f her father, closely followed by H. Hedge. Neither of them had a black eye. “Connie." demanded John W. Brrokc*, “are you re olvod in many thi menT “Yes, father’” “If 1 forbid you to do = o?" “Yea. daddy dear." Mr. Brink/- drew e deep breath and looked at H. Hedge, “Doesn't it beat the band -bow tub born some people ^re?" he aki. “And she’s not twenty-one yet.”. He bit oiT the end of a e>ar and fumbled in hi; pockets for a match. “I blame you very largely for this. Connie," be said in a stern voice, “I've been hearing about what hap pened in this house. It scented that you three children did all you could to unset the plan;- I made for you." “Oh, they were all right," inter posed H. Hedge hastily, “Donv internipt me, sir. I know as much about it as you do. Of '•ours I was a fool to think it could be done. But at the very least 1 didn't expect my own fit ft and blood to rise up against me. It’s unfilial. I’m disappointed —aggrieved—upset. You’ve gotten me and yourself in a hole—bat I’m the one that lias to pull you all out. You say you’ve an nounced this engagement down stairs?’' Constance nodded. “And still you wonder why the heathen rage. You go and announce it before 1 ever set eyes on him. Well, what does it mean? I’ll tell you: it simply means you’ve got to go through with it—that’s all!" “Father—you dear!” cried Con stance. “Keep away from me; I’m not through. Yea, the pair of you have to go through with it.

I SHELBY FIREMAN ENDORSES HERB | JUICE :\k The Greatest Medicine On 'he Market For Stomach Trouble. Says It Brought! Him The Relief fie Had For j Years Been Trying To Find. ‘ I cannot repress fully in words all ; vour HERB JUICE has done for rie. 1 h- •; helped me more than any thing: 1 have ever used and I really believe it is the greatest medicine on the market today for stomach and i kidney trouble from which I have! ■■offered for year.-,” said Mr. Roy! lawman, member Shelby Fire He- j •fitment, Shelby, N. C., when he ailed to see the HERB JUICE man j few days ago. ‘'The change in my health and appearance is so great that my friends and acquaintances notice it and comment about it every time ' i.y * ce me," continued Mr. New man. *>rd before 1 had used this medicine 1 was in such a badly run down condition and poor state of health that at times I could hardly | stay on the job, I had suffered for1 year: with a chronic case of consti pation, stomach and kidney trouble, j ! had to be very careful about what I ate for gas would form causing me to bloat terribly and I would suffer ' •r hours with severe pains in my side and chest—my kidneys were all out of order and were so irregular that f could not rest at night and I would have to get up four or five times after going to bed, consequent ly my rest and sleep was very limited and I always felt sluggish, tired and j wornout. In addition to this my liver j was very nactive, causing me to have ' •"renuent billious attack* and dizzy spelts. After being urged repeatedly to try HERB JUICE, I finally start ed using it with the very best of re sults. Really, it brought me the re lief 1 had for years been trying to find. Now I am fully convinced that it is the moat wonderful medicine on the market for such ailments as I had. I know it is the only medicine to ever really help me and for this reason I cannot praise it too highly. ! no longer suffer from gas or indi gestion pains, kidneys are in splendid working condition and my liver and I K.v.v'Ia are in -uef, perfect working (<1<7 that I am never bothered any more with constipation. To ary one who may be -affering a< I did, I ouid insist that they try HERB JUICE for their ailment*, for I am ire they will l* benefit!ed beyond expectations ’’ Mr. Welch of thj HERB JUICE i.aboratories has established head quarters at the— RIVIERE DRl’G CO..
