HIS MILLIONS g | By H IRV|NG KING | (id* X>23, by McClure NeWepaper Syndicate.) JUDITH CRANFORD aud her estlmpble parents had been big game bunting In the social jungles of New York for three seasons without bringing down the quarry. Edith, from the time she had begun to picture her future —and under the loving tutelage of her parents she began very younghad never looked forward to anything less gilded than a millionaire for a busband. In her fourth season Edith (Tanford succeeded; this Diana of the Four Hundred brought down her millionaire. And the “kill" had been worth ail the effort and the heart-breaking delay. Warren Champlain was thirty years old, and was encumbered with no near relatives, wss good-looking and, for a man of mllTlons, remarkably intelligent and well educated. Father and Mother Cranford, when they heard the news, were jubilant. But over Edith there soon stole a curious Irritable indifference. When finally she announced that she would not marry Warren Champinin, after ail, Father and Mother Cranford were driven into a sort of frenzy. But neither tearj, hysterics, threats nor pleadings would move Edith. She wrote Warren a calm, brief note telling him that they “had both been mistaken” and that “all must be considered over between them." Now Warren refused to be put off with a few words written on the latest style of note paper. He demanded >m interview with Edith, but she would not see him and, after several stormy semes with her parents, site was packed off to her great-aunt Cynthia, who had a country place in a retired corner of New Hampshire. Warren Champlain had little difficulty in finding out the place of Edith's retreat and one "all golden afternoon" he came strolling up the driveway that cd to Miss Cynthia Van Buskirk's manner home. That ancient and wise ‘piaster iiad, since the arrival of her niece, been giving her much sound advice. As Edith sat on the piazza she wus turning over in her mind her Hint's words of wisdom. She heard some one approaching, raised her eyes and there stood the central figure In tier thought before her in person . "You?" she cried, “why—" "Yes, why?” he echoed. "That is just what I hava come to find out.” He took a chair beside her and imprisoned me of her hands tn his. She resisted—but not strenuously. “Tell me. Edith." he said, “why have you broken with tn<<? Is it because you do not love mer The girl, exerting all her self-con-trol. said evenlyt “No; it is because 1 do love you that I cannot marry you. You know what people say of me — that I pursued you on account of yoqr money. And they speak the truth. And then—when I found I really loved you for yourself—oh, esm't you understand} How could I marry a man I love under such circumstanoex? There —hgve I sufficiently humbled myself? Do you despise ma enough now to go on your way and forget that such a creature as I over existed?" Warren actually smiled and Edith, with an angry Hush, rose ax if to go. No, no," he said; “sit down here, you illogical little person, ond listen to reason. If you laid a trap for me, I walked Into it with my eyes often. Don’t you suppone there were plenty <>f people to warn me? I went in eagerly aud. WdKh. I want to stay there. Isn't it just as wicked to refuse to marry a man whom you love, and who loves you. because of his money os It uould be to mnrry a man because of his money whom you don t lore?" "Well, yes, I gnppose so.” faltered Edith. “At least that is what Aunt Cynthig says.'' "Admirable end parapicaclmis woman,” said Warrffita "Take me to her.” "Well," said Miss Cynthia, when the presentation had been made, "have you young folks aattled everything? Have you brought this morbid young lady t<> reason, Mr. Champlain?” "Partially,* replied Wanen, “and I nly upon her estimable aunt to complete the cure” "But what will people say?" objected Edith. "SayF cried Mis* Cynthia. “Ttiejenn’t tuiy much snore then they have siiid already. And who are you. pray, onywsy, that you should begrudge the tea-teldes y»f Now Fork a phrasing piece of malicious gossip?” "Rut my self-respect—" objected Edith. "Flddladeet'* exHalmed Miss Cynthia. "of all my aggravating relatives and they are all aggravating I believe you are the most aggravating." Warren turned to Edith and said, iiiiruly aud sternly: "Edith, what yon cull your aelf-rMp-rt la. In this In ainnee, merely an obstinate Ptjde which, If persisted In, will wreck two Ilves." "Quite right." agreed the venerable spinster. "Tbecs— l»t us have n<’ nt<>r» nonsense. You two run out on the plrnxa and settle on the wedding day.” When Miss Van Buskirk spoke in that tone she wee acmstomed to being obeyed—and this occasion was no exception to the rule. Sympathetic Comrade Two Virginia darkles were hunting one day, one a very large men, In deed, and heavy, and the other slight and lurager. Now the big fellow accidentally shot himself rather «erlously. but all his companion bad t» any byway of sympathy wan: "Say, ynn look beab. You’d better run an’ keep runnin' as fast as yon kin an' a* long as yeti km. ’cause I •lioi e can't carry you far." ___

Can't Stop Joint-Ease "You can’t stop people from buying Joint-Euse for sore throat and cold in chest,” writes one of our druggist friends. "They say it’s the best ever."
