(ifi). 1920, by McClure N«wt,puper Syndicate.. Phyllis was a lalented, well-educat-ed. handsome but unspoiled child of wealth. The male portion of Kingstown openly adored her, while the contrary sex secretly copied her manners. gowns and her style in hair-dress-

lug.

She was a bom matchmaker and qnatvel-patcher, and when any of tingirls of the town were heartbroken over some .lolm Henry, sin* was sought, and although she was only twenty-two, h.w advice was sage. In this way she hail earned the name that the hoys had given her. “doctor of hearts." When her friends wrote to her ihey always placed D. O. H. after her name, and with smiling good-nature she accepted their fun, and no one ever guessed that the dorter's own heart

needed mending.

Many of her admirers proposed to nor, hut she refused them all. for she did not love them, and she was a firm believer in whole-hearted love or none til nil. She very tactfully found some charming girl for i-j h of the disap-

pointed swains.

One beautiful morning the doctor, feeling rather lazy, took an interesting book and some red checked apples that vied with her own cheeks for rosin ess, and settled herself in the couch hammock to wait in comfort for the mail man. When lie arrived she smiled as she road the I>. O. M. placed nfler Imr name on four of her loiters. She smilingly opened one of them mid read a long letter from one of her "patients" who Inol found happiness, one Ic’ter bore a foreign postmark, hut the usual 1>. O. 11. was there, and she was puzzled, for is far as she knew, none of her friends were abroad, and the address being typewritten, gave her no information. She slit the envelope

and read :

“Dear Phyllis—At last I have foetid where you live. I'ntil tonight T have been unable M tl al y it, (till- •' h I have searched lor I'.io past three V'-nrs. After I return -I to < anden : id !■ md you gone. 1 ran down ' very "’s- Ye clew to find >- -i, hut all in ' iln l.a i neck 1 entile here from London, for I knew of your fondness for !!.- I.

“Yours forever. “TOM BKYKIILY

The rest of the mall was forgo icn, and her dancing hearl made hi r eyes ghrv with a wonderful light. Torn wa coming to her after three long Jems, and he had searched until lie had found her; the sHIv thing they had quarreled over was forgotten. For the next three days she lived in a fever of expectancy, and eaeh dav found lo r dressed In some wonderful drt-s. for she was anxious to look well v i on he came. For a week she watched for him at train time, laif he did not o,me. one morning in her plain gingham dress -die curh-d op in the hamionck to rest and sie.-ii and dream -'I !-> coming. She woke to find loin leaning over her, and wilh a glad - * ry her arm enelrcled his neck and in the kiss that followed nil the pain of the years

was forgotten.

Suddenly she hemme cons.-ious of her plain dress and asked him to excuse her until she ehnuged if. ‘•Why change II. sweetheart? Yon are wonderful in that dress, and silk or satin could not improve you any." And then. In the approved fashion, he told her Just hov wonderful she was to him. With a happy sigh the lltlle doetor of hearts dropped her head on his shoulder. A shrill whistle and the postman entered the yard with several letters, all with the D. o. II after her name. Tom. ph-klng up one from where she threw them Into the hammock. kissed the D. O. H. as he said, with his arm around her. “Doctor of hearts Is a good name for you. my darling, for you sure can fix sh-k hearts, hut after the nay you have fixed mine. 1 11 tell the world that to m» D.

l!llllllllllllltlllli:i1Mlllimmil!llimilll!!l much il fferent.

In the first place the A. & C. Stone

OARING AVIATOR VJH0 Co. was selling stone to all customers DC'ES STUNTS !N A!R Ilt * 1 - 07 a Yard at the timo the stone was sold to the county. The comIIIIIIIIimillllllllllMlllllllHllllllllilllllllll ! panv - how. VI r. Was d-.divering stone — ——— on two old contracts at 82 cents a

The O. & 1 has thousands of yarn* ' of erushc i stone, which is mixed with drt, that cannot bo add on the marj ket, but which it sells the court-, for j road reo-ur work at 50 cents a yard. The quality of this stone is poor, but ] it can be used to sum,, extent in road

repair work.

At the time the State Farm quoted .a pir'co of 75 rents a vard fur repair stone,' the farm had a surplus ot I stone, crushed bv the state prisoner hi In, which th ■ farm management was anxious t r > disnose of. With the rn=T I of producing this stone low, the farm management couid make a specially

low rate, which if d d.

And fl- • sten<- was not bought by the commissioners but by the County Road Superintendent, at the direction 'f the commissionors. Th ■ accountants, however, didn’t go Into these deatils but simply condemned the commissioners for paying

$1 07 for crushed store

The examiners, furth''r. take exception to th - comm ssioners paying $577.25 fo" a road grader, when nni other could have been bought for

$.585

This charge is the mo«t humorous j of all. Five b'ds were fi'e,j rao^-ng i from $.'100. to $877 Tiv. eommissioni ers purchased the $“77.00 grader j because they believed it the best for j the work for which it was to be used | Now the examiners, -n censuring the | com miss'oners, 'did not snv thev J should have bought the $800 00 gradI er, which was the lowest, but said ' th,. J. D. Adams & Co. grader ($885.1 | is known as the standard grader throughout the state ar.,] TTTERF I'- ! NONE BETTER.” i Pretty ip*'! recommendation by J state field examiners for tho Adams

grader.

Other charges, many of them of technical character, nnd fully as unfair and unfounded, also are made

in the report.

| It is well to say that in ah where the commissioners ad\for the purchase of material ting of contracts, they are giv right to “reject any c bids,” as their judgement may So if the commissioners b a $877.00 road grader was

fitted for the county work I'm a $300.00 or a $386.00 grader, was their r'gbf tl m,• ‘h '77.00 grader. However, the examini s, ns judges of road graders, say that “there are none better” tha- 1 the Adams grader. The commi* '*’' —x were of the op : nion fhnt the examiners were accountants rather than

judges of road maehion'v.
