Though Sonia still loves Crane, she is disgusted with him. and marries Dr Stillwater promising that if at the end of a year she cannot love the doctor wtih all her heart, she will be honest about it. CHAPTER XLVIII Sonia felt no inward perturbation. Her mind was like a quiet pool, reflecting the scene about It. The little old minister, a stranger to both of them, who peered from one to the other over old-fashioned, goldrimmed, spectacles. His wife, obviously not thrilled at the witnessing of another wedding ceremony, and a neighbor, with the romance she was sure - the bride must be feeling. “I always cry at weddings," she explained, drying her eyes. Hers were the only tears
GOT COMPLETE NEW HEALTH BY taking mm Cramps, Nausea, Bilious, Dizzy Spells, Sick Headaches; All Vanished. "IConjola has done me a wonderful lot of good; this medicine has put complete new health in my whole system, and I don’t hesitate to indorse it,” said Mr. Frank Abel, well--known Indianapolis citizen, living at 815 N. Capitol Ave., this city, while

MR. FRANK ABEL talking a few days ago with the Konjola Man at Hook’s Drug Store, Pennsylvania and Market Sts., Indianapolis, •where he is explaining this celebrated new medicine to large crowds dally. “I had stomach trouble for nine years,” continued Mr. Abel, “an! everything I ate caused indigestlo: About an hour after eating, I wcu become nauseated. My food won • sour and ferment, causing aW-f cramps and almost every day I el sered with sick headaches. A drink of coffee would almost kill me. Mv liver was sluggish,■ causing biliousdizzy apells, and I had chronic constipation so had that only the strongest laxatives would relieve me. I had no appetite to speak of, and I very seldom got to sleep before 2 o’clock in the morning, because I would roll and toss and was jerky and nervous most of the night.
“I had poor health so long and was never able to find anything that helped me, so I was pretty much down-hearted at the time I started taking Konjola. But this medicine did me good so quickly that I picked up courage right away, and I continued with Konjola for about five weeks. It seemed like every day I felt better than I did the day before. I can safely say I am well now, and nobody would over think t had a sick day in my life. I don’t have to take any kind of medicine iny more—not even a laxative, and I enjoy the blessing of good, sound sleep every night, which gives me energy and strength to do a good day’s work. I always prided myself on working pretty steady every day, but before I got Konjola I had to lay off nearly half of the time. “Yea, I am In the best of health now, and all the cramps, nausea and dizzy spells are vanished. I don't have sick headaches or bilious spells. My appetite Is something wonderful •and I gained several pounds in weight. I wish to Inform you that this Konjola will always have my recommendation, for I am more thankful to this medicine than anything else In my life.” Konjola Is non-alcoholic. Jt Is different than nny medicine previously known. Where many ordinary remedies contain only seven or eight herbal ingredients, which merely act as a laxative, this new Konjola contains twenty-two Juices extracted from natural plants which Invigorate the stomach, liver,- kidneys and bowels to more healthy action. The effect of Konjola on the whole innersystem brings amazing relief in cases of suffering that had been going on tor years. At the same time many weak and run-down systems have been* restored to anew state of health through the use of this compound. Such a vast number of men and women in this city have benefited by taking Konjola, until row it has become the most highly indorsed medicine that is known ih this vicinity. The Konjola Man Is at Hook’s Drug Store, Pennsylvania and Market Sts., Indianapolis, where he Is daily meeting the local public and Introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is sold by every Hook store in Indianapolis and by all good druggists In the nearby towns throughout this section. —Advertisement. tm

All during the ceremony Sonia had thought, “Soon it will be over. Then I’ll have nothing more t worry about." Don’s strong, supple fingers held hers confidently. She could feel courage streaming into her tired nerves.. .Then it was over, and Don was kissing her on the lips. That kiss was a surprise. She had not expected it. And it startled her out of her peaceful dreaming. In spite of her effort, color surged into her cheeks. But he did not seem to notice. He was talking with the minister. No doubt the kiss was necessary. A part of the ceremony! But deep in her heart she felt a stirring uneasiness. There had been more than fatherly affection in that kiss ; ... When they had left the parsonage and driven away, he said, “Say where, Sonia. Shall we drive around for a bit?” But she was too nervous to ride. The slightest noise terrified bei;. She asked to go at once to the apartment and pack her clothes. How glad she was that Don was with her when they entered. To face the disturbingly familiar sight of Maxine's blue bathrobe, hanging behind the" door. Her faded satin mules, kicked under a chair. The pathos of these inanimate belongings rent Sonia’s heart. But she set her Ups grimly. “What shall I do about Maxine's things?” “You’d better pack them up some day and send them to her father.” “He didn’t care for her. She told me herself that he could, scarcely remember which one of the children she was.” “It’s all you can do, honey. Uncle Jed tells me she had a little money in the bank. Enough to pay for sending her home.” Oh. the tragedy of it! The need-

less tragedy, thought Sonia. She would come some day and put all these things away. Shoes, hats, frail vanities, which had possessed so much more endurance than the living girl who owned them. She found a half-used bottle of talcum on the bathroom shelf. Maxine’s bath salts . . . Sonia threw her clothes into the trunk she had brought from Stockton. She felt she could not endure staying in this room. It was full of ghosts. And not only Maxine’s. Franklin Crane’s blue eyes peered, reproachfully, from the corner near the fireplace. She had sat there,' hours at a time, in his arms. She turned to Don, almost <*violgntly. “Let's get out of here. I can’t stand it.” I, He had the wisdom to make no reply. He asked no questions. * • • When they reached the small hotel where they were to stay, she found that he had been thoughtful enough to order two rooms, connected by a bath. There were yellow roses on her dressing table, another great bowl of them on her desk. “You’re awfully sweet to me.” “Nonsense,” he smiled. “Now young lady, the thing for you to do is get hack to bed. You’re trembling like a leaf.” His nonchalant manner kept up her morale. She unpacked her bag, which had been rescued from the wreck. The sight of those articles she had expected to use at Franklin’s shack, sickened her. She would buy others tomorrow. She wished she might never have to see them again. When she was ready for bed, shs threw the old negligee over her night gown and went to Don’s door.
THE TXDIANAPOLIS TIMES
“What about calling my family? And have you told your mother?” “I wrote her a letter,” he replied “I thought .it would be easier for her than to call. It is going to be a great surprise to her, but I hepe she won’t think I’ve been unkind.” “She’ll he angry?” “Not mother. Her love is absolutely unselfish. My happiness is all that has ever mattered to her.” Sonia swung on the doorknob, asking thoughtfully, "Supposing she were not like that. Would you have left it keep you from marrying me?” “Nothing could have kept me from marrying you, Sonia. Nothing in the world.” His tone was cooler than his words. She stared at him wondering how he could love her so much and be so controlled. He was certainly different. Imagine any other possessive male of her acquaintance agreeing to an arrangement like this! “Go on to bed, Sonia. I’ll call you when I’ve gotten them.” She sank upon her pillows gratefully. She had not realized she was so tired. When he called her she was half asleep. It was an effort to rouse hefself sufficiently to explain marriage to her father. • “Hello, Daddy...” “Are you all right Sonia?” At the quaver In his voice the old lump rose in her throat. “I’m all right. I bet you were worried about me.” “We were, honey.” “Well, you needn't he any more,” she cried triumphantly. “I have some good news.” , His voice satis over the wire. “You’re coming home?” “No, darling, I’m married.” There was a buzzing sound as if Sam Marsh were trying to get connection. “What’s “that? I can’t hear you.” Her eyes were wet with tears. “I’m married. Daddy. To Don Stillwater. We were married this afternoon.” There was silence. Her heart sank Was he going to be angry? But bis

voice when it came sounded only colorless, sad. “This is a great surprise, Sonia. You’re too young. But 1 wish you happiness. Don is a splended man.” “Daddy, you’re hurt?” “No, it’s all right. Whatever you do is all right with your Dad. But I -can’t . . . Your mother will talk with you." Then Anna’s voice, anxious and alarmed. "How did you happen to do this, Sonia?” “Oh, we just decided to. That’s all. Don’t tell any one until I see you. Mother.” “But why shouldn’t I tell any one? I can't understand it, Sonia. If I could only have talked with you. Can’t you come home?” “Not just now. Perhaps soon.” Sonia replaced the receiver weakly. “They're awfully upset about it. And I thought they’d be pleased to death.” “It's too much for them on top of the accident, Spnia.” But Sonia felt no sympathy for her parents in this new turn of her fortunes, s They should have been glad to have her disposed of so nicely. Suddenly she realized that after all it did not matter. Nothing mattered. Not their surprise nor the fact of her marriage. She was exhausted as she had never been in all her life. Only dimly conscious that Don turned out the lights and opened the windows, that he left her room and closed the door, she sank Into sound, dreamless sleep. (To lie Continued)
