PLATOON SYSTEM 'IS TO MED May Be Tried Out in One Indianapolis School, Indianapolis school board will investigate the platoon system of training in elementery schools in other cities with the possibility of experimenting in one of the schools here. This was proposed by Dr. Marie Haslep, sponsor of free textbooks for Indianapolis children, at a school board meeting Tuesday evening. Dr. Haslep moved that the system be installed in one school as an experiment, but her motion was defeated by Fred Bates Johnson, Charles L. Barry and Charles B. Yoke. A motion by A. G. Emhardt that the plan be investigated, carried. The system is in use at Gary, Detroit and Pittsburgh. Under the system grade children are divided'’into three sections, each composed of children from all grades. One-third of the children receive one kind of instruction, while the other two sections are engaged in different kinds of study.

Governor Emmett F. Branch, in an appeal in behalf of Near East Relief Bundle day, June 4, requests residents of Indianapolis and other localities of the Swe to observe the date by “digging deep in wardrobe, trunk and garret for the clothes so precious to those who suffer in a land that gave us our Christianity.” “The cry for the clothes we do not want —that are in the way—is a piteous call from tens of thousands of children and destitute old folks,” says the Governor. “They want what we will cast away because it will save human life.” Seeks Endurance Record C.

FINDS GRIPPE AND COLD PREVENTATIVE Mrs. C'allie Stewart, Indianapolis Housewife, Had Taken Medicine For Years TV ithout Success Until She Took Todd s Tonic, "Which Has the Strength Building Qualities Os Rare Old "Wine. Finds It Great System Builder And Grippe Preventative. “In addition to stomach troubles, nervousness anfd headaches, it seemed to me that every bone in my body ached. Gas formed on my stomach and worked up towards my heart, causing me to he short of breath, and a condition of that kind -is serious if not checked in time. A demonstrator induced me to take Todd's Tonic and so far I have taken three bottles and certainly feel fine. My nervous system has improved and my stomach does not bother me any more. Those aches and pains have entirely vanished. I had taken medicine for years without success. I would get relief with other medicines, but it was only temporary. Todd’s Tonic gave me permanent relief and I keep it on hand now only to use in emergency, that is, when I catch cold or am out in wet weather and get chilled through, I take a dose of Todd’s Tonic and ward off the grippe. I recommend Todd’s Tonic because it made me feel like anew woman. It surely is a wonder tonic to put people on the road to health if they are in a rundown condition.” —MRS. CALLIE STEWART. 1651 Ogden St., Indianapolis. Ind. ' Todd’s Tonic, with its wine-like flavor, is most pleasant to take.

It KG IN HKItB TODAY The marriugro of Dolly uid Nigel Dretherton provoa unhappy When war is declared. Nigel is glutl to enlist. He leaves Dolly in the care of Mary Fumival. Nigel is killed and Dolly marries an old sweetheart and sails with him for America. "'hen Nigel's brother. David, calls to see Nigel s widow, Mary is ashamed to tell him of Dolly's marriage. David Mistakes Mary for Nigel's wife and tikes her tr live at Rml Grange with his aunt. Monty Fishes exposes Mary to David. Mary disappears. David asks Monty to help him search for Mary. An acquaintance, named Evans, reports that Mary lias been run over by a cab and is in a hospital. It is there that David finds her. NOW GO ON WITH Till: STORY • i l .JH, my dearest—my clearest!” |C)| he brokenly. ! 1 “I always shall say,” Miss Varney declared afterwards, “that she began to get well from that moment. It’s wonderful what love will do. I’m an old maid myself, but I am sure there Is nothing more wonderful in all the world than a man’s love for a woman.” That was weeks afterwards, when Mary was down at the Red Orange the faint flush of returning strength in her white face. She was lying out on the lawn, under the shady elms, and Miss Varney was watching from the open window. It was David to whom she spoke: and he turned away with a little selfconscious laugh. ‘‘You ridiculous old lady!” he said. But he came back and kissed her. ‘‘And—and doij* ’t she know I’m here?” he inquired, with an effort. Miss Varney laughed. “I never told her a word. She’s afraid of you, David, I do believe. She a ways turns her face away when I speak about you—not that I speak about you very often,” she added mischievously. David had been away for the last fortnight. As soon as Mary was out of danger he had left home. It was a golden afternoon —one of the brightest gems from the wonderful necklace of June days. The bees were droning sleepily in the roses; birds chirruped in the sunshine. Somewhere at the back of the house a dog barked. Mary closed her eyes. It was so

good to bo here after the noise and heat of London; so good to lie still and forget that had worried and hurt her. If only David were here! If only he were here beside her, and — She opened her eyes with a little impatient sigh, and found him bending over her. _ MARY CLOSED HER EYES. IT WAS SO GOOD TO BE HERE. For an instant she could not move; then, with a/ stifled cry, she started up. The blood rushed to her head, the old terrible feeling of weakness overwhelmed her. David laid her gently back on the pillows. He took her shaking hands in his, and held them in the strong, comforting grasp of her dreams. “Mary, you’re not afraid of me? Oh, my darling, if you knew how I have longed to see you!” She tried to answer, but the tears came, and she could find no words. David bent and kissed the hands he held. “If you cry, I shall go away. If you cry, I shall believe you don’t want to see me. Mary, do you—could you ever care for me?” It was a dream, of course It was—she kept on saying it to herself over

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

and over again. It was none of it ii ue. She was just sleeping, ana would wake up soon to the old longing and emptiness. But dream-Ups cannot give passionate kisses; dream-arms cannot hold one in a strong, comforting clasp!” “David!” She tried to hold him off, to protest that she was not worthy. But he only laughed. “You are not to call my wife ugly names!” he said fondly. And then she broke down and cried again. “But only because I am so happy!” she told him. “Oh, David, if you knew how much I have wanted to see you!” “Not more than I wanted you, my sweet!” It seemed impossible that it was really David saying such loving things. She had always been a little afraid of him, always held him a little In awe, and yet now— She broke out tremblingly: “But you don’t know: I haven’t told you! You don't i know how I have deceived you!” “Y’oti can tell me all about it some day when you are quite well and strong: but now—well, i don't want you to tell me anything ercept how much you love mei” “You know I love you!” His jealous eyes sought her face. “Better than —than any one else you have ever known?” he asked. She knew what he meant. She knew that he was thinking of his brother —thinking of -Nigel, whom she had once loved, but who seemed now to have faded into the background of memories. “Better than any one I have ever known” she answered him. He seemed contented with that. For a moment he sat holding her hand, without speaking; then: “Nigel’s wife wrote to me,” he said suddenly. “Mary, what shall I do for her? I feel that I owe her something for ever having sent you to me. If she hadn’t gone abroad you would never have come into my life at all.” Weak tears sprang to her eyes again. “David, I’m not good enough for you! I can’t bear to think that I—” He interrupted gently: “I am the best judge of that, sweetheart. Dearest, when will you marry me?” She shook her head, trying to hide her eyes. “You don't really mean It; you’re just sorry for me!” H r - did not answer at once. “If being so utterly miserable without you that I wish I were dead is being sorry for you, then I suppose I am!” he said slowly. “If hat-

ing every moment of every day without you is being sorry for you, then —Mary how can you wast time talking such nonsense?” he demanded half seriously, half in fun. ‘T love you, and that’s just all about it, and if you won't marry me ” The ghost of a smile crept Into her eyes. “I didn’t say I wouldn’t,” she submitted. CHAPTER LXII The Little God Satisfied It was some time afterward before she could make him “talk sensibly,” as she called it; some time before she could make him tell her how he had found her, and all about young Evans. f “Poor Mr. Evans!” she said half sadly. "David, he was so good to me!” “I know. I suppose I ought to be glad, Hut I'm not. I think I’m jealous of every one who speaks to you, Mary.” -‘‘You need not be.” she told him shyly. ‘But if you could help him a little —I should like to help him a little. David.” “You shall do what you like, my queen!” “David, does Miss Fisher know about —about me?” ~ She flushed up to her eyes, meeting his. He kissed the hand he held. “Does she know that I love you, you mean?” he asked tenderly. “Well, I should think she must guess, though I haven’t exactly told her.” He hesitated; then: "What are you thinking now?” he asked. “Only that—that I used to be jealous of her. She is so beautiful, and I ” “You are the most beautiful woman In the world to me!" And then—but after that even a bright-eyed blackbird up in the tree overhead lost Interest in the conversation, and flew away to look for something to eat. And the only person who was not at all pleased with the arrangement of affairs was Dora Fisher. She declared that David had been forced into marrying Mary, and persisted in alluding to him as “poor David,” until even Monty lost his temper, and told her it was a pity she could not hide her chagrin instead of showing it to everybody. This brought forth the usual burst of tears. “How unkind you are! Nobody cares in the least how unhappy I am, or what becomes of me!” But Monty had heard the same plaintive wail so matty times it had lost its poignancy, and he merely

walked out of the -oom and shut the door rather forcibly. That was on David's wedding-day. He and Mary were married very quietly in London, with nobody to wjtness the ceremony, but Miss Varney, \\ ho wept copiously the whole time because she was so glad, and a gray-haired old verger, who smiled and wished everybody "Good luck!” half-a-dozen times over. “The most wonderful June in all the world!” so Mary said as she and David drove away together. “I only wish every one could be as happy as I am!” Her thoughts went back to young Evans and Dolly; and she wondered if it were very selfish of her to be so utterly happy and contented. And then the picture of a lonely grave somewhere in France flitted through her mind, where lay all that was mortal of the man she had once loved ; and for a moment a little shadow fell over her face. Life was such a puzzle! It seemed hard to explain why he should be there, lonely and already almost forgotten, whilst she who had loved him best was hero with David, and happier than she had 'ever been in all her life. “What are you thinking about, sweetheart?” David asked her.

And she lifted her face to his, aa she answered: “Only how glad I am to be your wife!” And David said— But here the little god who had been sitting between them with folded wings, chuckling at his own cleverness in having brought about yet another love-match, stretched them wearily and yawned # before he .lew away. For, after all, what David was saying was only what he had heard many, many times before, and it bored him stiff. It was very il’-mannered of himj but neither IJavid nor Mary would have cared, had they known. For David’s arm was round her and her head was on his shoulder, and both their faces were turned to the sunshine, and a future which they would share together. THE END.
