I think It Is wonderful how Konjola is helping people right and left here In Indianapolis, and when I see so many pictures in the papers of the homefolks, it all seems to me like the greatest remedy ever put In a drug store." This remarkable statement was voluntarily Issued just a few day's ago by Mr J. H. Norton, residence 447 East Tenth St , Indianapolis, Telephone number Rfley 6T83. Tt was Bent to the Konjola. Man at Hook’s Drug Store, Pennsylvania and Market Sts., this city, where the Konjola Medicine has been creating a sensation among drug men and the general public alike. The statement of Mr. Norton Is typical of hundredsof other testimonials, all from men an<H women in this vicinity who strongly indorse Konjola for stomach, liver, kidney and bowel dlserders. Continuing with his statement, Mr. Norton said: "I have enjoyed 7 months of blessed health, for which I give Konjola full credit, because T had the test medical attention and tried numerous remedies before I found Konjola. / It proved to be the medicine T always needed, and I know what helped me wiTl certainly help another.” Konjola la non-alcoholic, Tt Is different than any medicine previously known.

“Oh, I'm so sorry. I wish I could do something.” “Thank you, dear. There's nothing any one can do. She’s had attacks like this before and pulled through. But I never know . . There was a pause while her love for him sang silently across the wire. She dared not say it in words “I’m awfully . sorry about tomorrow.” “Don’t worry about, that,” she comforted. “Call me again, won’t you?” He promised and she turned to meet Maxine’s disappointed eyes. “Don’t tell me it’s off.” “Absolutely. His mother’s sick.” “Oh, hell!” Maxine explained, disgustedly. Sonia stiffened. “He can’t help it, you know. It’s harder on him than it is on us.” “Are you sure it’s his mother?” inquired Maxine, suspiciously, following her to her own desk. “What else would it be?” “You remember what I told you.” “About his being drunk, I suppose you mean.” “Yes.” Sonia stared at her like a'n offended empress. “There never was anything to those stories. It’s always been his mother. He told me so himself, a long time ago.” Maxine tossed her head. Her blue eyes were as angry' as Sonia’s. “His story may be all Jake this time but that hasn't always been his reason. Don’t try to tell me, because I happen to know.” Sonia was furious. The other girls in the department were listening to the conversation. It was so unusual to hear Maxine and Sonia quarreling. So evident that they were doing nothing else! “If that’s the way you feel about it, I’m surprised fou’d accept his invitation,” Sonia remarked, acidly', and opened her books, j Maxine tossed her head, choked back her reply and walked away. * * * But when closing time came she was waiting for her friend. They walked, silently, to the car, silently rode home! As they entered the apartment, Maxine said, “Kiddie, I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings today. I was so disappointed I didn't know what I was saying." “I know you haven’t any faith in him,” Sonia commented, gloomily. She was on her knees before the fireplace. “I’ve worked in the office for a good many years, Sonia. He used to come to work so drunk they’d have to send him home.” Sonia said nothing but her silence was ominous. “That was a long time ago,” Maxine admitted, nervously. “But for several days afterward he'd be away. Naturally we supposed that was always the trouble.” "Yes, naturally, you’d all suppose the most uncharitable thing you could think of. , Maxine disappeared behind the screen and there was a sound of clattering pans. Then she peered around to add, “I'm not saying that’s what it is this time.” “It wouldn’t make a bit of difference to me if you did,” flared Sonia. “You answered the telephone. You ought to know he’s pot drunk.” “Well, he did sound worried.” “Well, then,” said Sonia, scornfully. They ate their frugal dinner in cheerless animosity, washing the dishes afterwards with twice their ordinary speed. When they had finished. Maxine sighed, “I suppose I ought to telephone Mac.” “You can’t call him at home.” “Can't I? You watch me. If he doesn’t answer I’ll hang up. See?” She called the number, anxiously. Mac must have answered for she said, in a low, important tone. "I had to telephone. Bad news about tomorrow.” She giggled as she replaced the receiver. “He’s a dandy.

I’d better come down and talk it over.’ ” For some reason, the dignified cleverness failed to amuse Sonia. k "You don’t think that’s funny, do you?" "I certainly don’t. I’d die before I’d call a man under his wife’s nose. And I think you’ve got your nerve. And I think you’ve got your nerve to crtlclze any one else. At least Franklin Crane is not married." Maxine was pulling down her long, blonde hair. "Zat so?” she called cheerfully. “Well, I hope for your sake he stays that way." ** * ' Sonia sat by the window, staring into darkness, and the myriad lights beneath. She felt dull anil spiritless.

Perhaps his mother would die. If she did, they would not be able to go at all. Then she caught her breath, as she realized if his mother died Franklin would be free to marry her. He had said her death would release him instantly. But he loved his mother. She had understood the break in his tense voice over the telephone. If I his mother died perhaps he would turn again Sonia, would imagine she had wished for her ddath. And comforted by the dainty little fiancee his mother had chosen, might decide to marry her as a last tribute. Blinking through tears, Sonia pictured the wedding.

would have to happen. . . .?" Sonia added, icily. “Franklin Is awfully sorry. It’s just postponed. Per haps we can go next week.” "I may not be able to get away again so soon. But it can’t be helped, of course. Cheer up, little girl; you’re not going to cry about it?” Maxine dabbed at her blue eyes. “I’m so disappointed. It just kills me to have my plans knocked out like this. I never wanted to do anything so badly in my life. I’ve got to go, that’s all!” Mac smiled at her wild tone. But Sonia turned away. “Sonia’s mad at me, too," sobbed Maxine. "Oh, I am not,’ replied Sonia. "It makes me tired, though, for you to act as if this were Franklin's fault.” -My God!” sighed Mac, drying Maxine’s tears, with a neatly folded white handkerchief, “Am I going to be called in to settle a dispute between you two girls?” When he had gone Maxine apologized for everything she had said and Sonia, tired of the argument, was glad enough to accept her overtures. Franklin Crane was never discussed by them again. But only a week later Sonia was to remember how uncompromising she had been with Maxine, to remember with tears stinging her eyes and tugging at her throat! The next afternoon Franklin telephoned to say his mother was no better. It would be Impossible for him to ( see Sonia before Monday. Sonia, with Sunday hanging empty on her hands, thought of Dr. Still water. He had asked if she would be busy over the week-end. Perhaps she could reach him at his uncle’s. She telephoned, sighing with relief when he answered, "Yes, Sonia?” “My week-end party is off. Have you anything to suggest?” “You bet I have. The prettiest hike you ever dreamed of.” “I’m not much of a hiker.” “This is a little one, Sonia. I’ve taken it several times, and I know you’ll love It. It’s In Marin County." Her hand trembled as she turned from the telephone. She was to spend Sunday In Marin County after all.
