MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1916.

I AVOID TALK OF ARTHUR AND BILLY BENT CALL'S EACH DAY The frequency with which William "dropped in" to see me while I was a limping invalid at length caused my mother some anxiety. She did not say anything to me about it, but I could see that she was worried. A cloud would come over her race whenever she saw my old playmate unlatch th^ gate and come up the walk.

I knew what mother was thinking. She was fearful that the village gossips would link my name with William's, and that all sorts of scandalous talk would soon be current in our town. Tongues were already wagging, I knew, because of Arthur's absence, and because the few visitors who came to see me had not been definitely satisfied as to my husband's whereabouts, business and other personal details which most wives give under similar circumstances. Indeed, I usually avoided all reference to Arthur, and it was. only when my visitors asked about him that I vouchsafed any information whatever. But natural-born gossips are quick-scented. They can detect readily when anything is wrong in a family, and sometimes "they detect something wrong" when everything is lovely and placid.

Optimists, have said that every person in the world has some necessary function to perform. The pessimists' theory is that certain persons should be chloroformed, not merely to put them out of their own misery, but as a public benefaction.- While I do not wish to apply the pessimists' theory to the village scandalmongers who were bandying my name about, yet I did very much wish that they would attend to their own business and quit discussing my affairs. However, as there seemed to be no likelihood of the^r ceasing to give me this desired attention it appeared to me that a fewvisits from an old friend could not add much fuel to the flames. And even If It did—I was not disposed to curtail my own enjoyment. Gossips will find scandal whether scandal exists or not, for their brain tissue has the peculiar property of separating scandal from the atmosphere just a3 some wonderful machine can take the oxygen out of air.

The next effect of my mother's unspoken objection to William's visit was to throw William and me alone together. My mother's disapproval apparently made it unpleasant for her to be present when he was there, so she usually found something else to do. As a result our conversations assumed a more personal and intimate character than might otherwise have' been the case.

Mother's description of William was a very good one. He possessed a wonderful mind, and it worked at high speed all the time. He was inquisitive, but not objectionably so. He merely sought information. He exhausted "every subject which came up, pursuing' every matter to the most minute details. The result was that he mastered everything that his mind touched upon.

But he would not talk about himself and it was only with the greatest care that I induced hihm to tell me about his life from the time that we were playmates together until he attained local prominence. His mother had been unable to send him to college after he had been graduated from the public school, and he had been compelled to go to work. He began to work "in a store where they sold everything from

Doctor Tells How to Strengthen Eyesight 50 per cent In One Week's Time In Many Instances

II&Te

Philadelphia, Pa. Do you Avear Classes? Are you a victim of eye strain ©r Other eye weakness? Ifi so, you will be glad to know that according to Dr. Lewis there is real hope for you. Many whose eyes were failing say they have had their eyes restored through the principle of this wonderful free prescription. One man Says, after trying it: "I was almost Hind could not see to read at all. Now I can read everything without any glasses And my eyes do not water any more. At night they would pain dreadfully now they feel fine all the time. It was like a miracle to me." A lady who used it says: "The atmosphere seemed hazy with or without glasses, but after using this prescription for fifteen, days everything seems clear. I can even read fine print without glasses." It is believed that thousands who wear, glasses can now discard them in a reasonable time and multitudes more will be able to strengthen their eyes1 so as to be spared the trouble and expense of ever getting glasses. Eye troubles of many descriptions may be wonderfully ben-

pork to imitation lace, and he made such progress in his business that it was not long before he knew more about the mercantile establishment than did his employer. But this kind of life did not suit him, and he de'termined to become a lawyer. After that each evening was spent pouring over a ponderous volume of legal lore. At the end of two years of such work he was admitted to the bar, and at the same time bid farewell to the pork and calico.

Old Judge Homer, who had superintended William's law practice and given him assistance' from time to time, took the boy into his office after his bar examinations and made him his assistant. The death of the judge^two years later left William the possessor of the best law practice in the county.

But the humdrum of practice was not the goal of a restless spirit such as William possessed. His nature required greater excitement. He plunged into politics, seizing the first opportunity which presented itself. This' was a vacancy in the office of state's attorney. Several older lawyers aspired to the position, and the campaign be-

eflted"~by following the simple rules. Here is the prescription: Go to any active drug store and get a bottle of Bon-Opto tablets. Drop one 3on-Opto (.ablet in a fourth of a glass of water and allow to dissolve. With this liquid t-athe the .eyes two to four times daily. You should notice your eyes clear up perceptibly right from the start and inflammation will quickly disappear. If your eyes are bothering: you, even a little, take steos to save them now before it is too late. Manv hopelessly blind might have been saved if they had cared for their eyes in time.

Note: Another prominent physician to whom the above article was submitted, said: "Bon-Opto is a very remarkable remedy. Its constituent ingredients are well-known to eminent eye specialists and" widely prescribed by them. The manufacturers guarantee it to strengthen eyesight 50 per cent in one week's time in

came a notable one. William toured the county from one end to the other, personally interviewing each voter, and such was his charm of personality that when the polls closed on election day it was discovered that he was chosen by a large plurality. The four years which he served as state's attorney only whetted his desire-for further political hnors, and he had recently become a candidate for congress against the Hon. Theodore Robinson, who had held that office more than 20 years.

The campaign was not fully under way, but the thunders of battle had already begun to reverberate, and I knew that in a few weeks William would be fighting with an intensity almost as great as could be found on the battlefields of Europe. I did not doubt the outcome. No one who came in contact with his remarkable personality could conceive of his being defeated in anything which he undertook. I felt that he was as &ood as elected, and I knew that if he once became a member of congress and. was permitted to remain there a few years that he would become a national figure.

I intimated something of this belief to him one afternoon. He did not blush or stammer or smirk or smile, as many men would have done, but he accepted the statement as a matter of fact, remarking: "There is plenty of work to be done there." "I do hope you are given an opportunity," I replied. "I am sure that this great field is the one that you are fitted for." ''But there is just as much work elsewhere to be done," he said. "If I am not elected it will not mean that I will have nothing to do. The problem of the time is not to find work, but to dispatch it quickly and thoroughly. One task succeeds another so rapidly that there is no excuse for any one being idle a moment."

I am very highly honored," i remarked with an attempt at levity. You are the busiest man in all this part of the country, and yet you find time to inquire about my poor foot I am almost glad, that it was injured. The accident has shown me how kind you are."' "I very much fear that it is not kindness but selfishness," he returned. "I find so much peasure in being with you that I believe it is selfishness and not sympathy that brings me here. Who would ever have thought that the little hoyden that I used to know would become such a beautiful and womanly woman

As he spoke he leaned forward and involuntarily touched my hand. Something in his tone more than his words made me realize that I was another man's wife, and a deep flush came to my face. He noticed it, ana quickly withdrew his hand. ''The only real worry I have had lately was* when I thought of you. Now that I have rediscovered you the gnawing fear never leaves me that you may disappear once more. In this last week or two. I have come to regard these little visits as the happiest moments of the day. They are the silver which line the clouds."

The flush returned to my race and my heart beat quickly. He was so Intense that I feared he would attempt to take me in his arms there on the porch in full view of whoever happened to be looking our way, but his selfcontrol was too great for any such thing as that. After a moment's silence he straightened up and his lips tightened. "There have been many things that I desired, and I cannot recall that I failed to obtain anything upon which I had set my heart. It may be that in the future I shall not be so fortunate, but it is hard to concieve of a man failing to achieve an end when he bends every effort in that direction."

He paused. "I do not understand you," I murmured.

Transplanting of Teeth

Early dentistry made much of transplanting or replanting of teeth and it was ho uncommon thing for a dentist to take sound teeth from one mouth- and securely fasten them in the mouth of another who valued the improved appearance of the face which resulted.

Modern dentistry substitutes artificial teeth which arie better, look better and are more sanitary.
