The SNOB

SYNOPSIS Nancy was pretty, a GAGE, and a blueblood even tnougn she did live on the other side of the railroad tracks. But Nancy just couldn’t help falling in love and becoming engaged to handsome Erls Nelson, whom she had met at Edith Harcourt's, a rich school chum. Nancy s pride causes her to break the engagement when she finds that Eric’s mother Is a laundress at the Harcourt’s. CHAPTER XVII Grandmother Gage was “so sorry” Nancy had been disappointed in her fiance. But she had felt all the time that Nancy was too young to make such a “momentous decision.” Girls didn’t marry until they were older nowadays. She wished she was financially able to have her namesake live with her. But it wouldn’t be fair to the other grandchildren. And she hadn’t been well this last year. They were doing very little “entertaining.” As for going to San Francisco, she did not approve of it. Perhaps she was old-fashioned, but she couldn’t bear to think of a girl as young and inexperienced as Nancy alone in a large city. She would advise her keeping up her music at home, reading, and sewing. “These things,” wrote Grandmother Gage, in her delicate hand, "should be enough for you, dear. Happiness is a state of mind. Try to meet your trouble bravely, and it will pass.” _ * She enclosed a check for SSO, to be used for new books or music. It fluttered from the flirl’s fingers to the floor. Fifty dollar;} when she needed five hundred! Go on with her mmic and reading here, where every street, every shop, every place of amusement reminded her of him? Or of the good times they had had together! How could she go on practicing in a room where memories haunted every chair? “Oh, no!” she cried desperately, “I can’t. It’s impossible!” How unfeeling older people were. They thought the tragedies of youth were trivial little hurts which could be kissed away. In effect, Grandmother Gage had said, “I’m sorry, darling. Take this and run away. You’ll be all right.” Little she knew, thought Nancy, bitterly, of the ghastly hours of wakefulness, longing for her lover until she was sick with pain; hearing his voice, "Do you love me, Nancy? Do you.” Seeing the reproach in his miserable blue eyes. . . . She had failed him as he had known she would. Oh, if only she could have been brave enough. . . . But that was impossible. It was cruel of him to expect it. She wondered what Eric was doing. How putting in his time. There was so little to do in that small

Had Head-ache and Awful Indigestion Man and Wifi- Suffered Ten Yearn, Then Found Quick Relief. —s Does your head ache until it feels like it is going to burst? Do you have indigestion and dizzy spells that almost make you fall? If you do, you’ll be glad to read how Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Winrote, 1107 E. Cedar St., South Bend, Ind., obtained prompt relief. Mrs. Winyrote says: “I had stomach trouble and constipation for ten years, and suffered agonies with sick spells and splitting head-aches. At times, it seemed as if my head would burst. f X had no appetite, and even a few mouthfuls would fill me up. Food didn’t digest right, and seemed to lodge in my stomach like a rock. It gave me such awful bains in my sides and back, that I was almost frantic, I was bothered with constipation, too, and was a very sick woman. Nothing I took seemed to do me any good until I found Viuna. Before I had finished the first bottle, I was greatly benefited. The dreadful head-aches and dizziness disappeared, my appetite picked up, my digestion improved, and I can eat hearty meals without any distress. The constipation is relieved and the pains in my back have stopped. I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am to Viuna for my remarkable recovery. “It did so much for me, my husband tried it. He had stomach trouble for fifteen years, with gas, sour stomach, severe cramps and constipation. Viuna promptly gave him his first real relief. He’s feeling fine and has gained fifteen pounds in weight. We both swear by Viuna.” Ylnna acts promptly bn sluggish bc.-ols, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purlflea the blocd, cigars the akin, restores appetite and digestion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then If you r re not glad you tried Viuna, your money will be refunded. $1 at and ."ugglsts, or mailed postpaid by Iceland Medicine Cos., Indianapolis, Ind. ftVIUNA The Wonder Medicine

town. Edith reported several trips to San Francisco. “He’s gone in for several weekends. Os course, I never see him. Daddy told me.” Nancy was sure he must have gone to see another girl. It wasn’t fair. He could get away, could forget her if only for a few hours, while she was left to face a situation which grew worse daily. When Nancy could endure it no longer she concocted a plan. Nothing could have shown her nervous condition more clearly. With no outlet for either mental or physical energies, she had brooded until she was at the breaking poinc. And she called Eric from a drug store and asked him to meet her. s "Meet you where?” he inquired, coldly. “On Sycamore Hill, tonight.” “What’s the use, Nancy? I’d rather not, if you don’t mind.” “Please,” she insisted. “There's something I have to say to you.” They met half way, where he had seen her first. His voice was abrupt. “What is it, Nancy?” Let’s get it over with as quickly as possible.” “Eric,” she said, in a different tone than she had ever used, “I can’t stand it. I can't go on." Evidently he was touched, for he took her hand and said gently, “I’m sorry, dear. Sorry I ever asked you to marry me. I should have known better.” “You think I’m despicable, don’t you?” “Not all. v I think you’re merely the result of your training. I shouldn’t have expected anything else. I realize it’s a position few girls would care to face.” She gripped his hand, crying, "Oh, Eric, you do see that? It hasn’t anything to do with my still caring. Or wanting to see you” "Please. Nancy, let’s not go Into that.” “But I must. I’m so lonely without you. Don't be angry at what I’m going to suggest. You see, I’ve thought of a plan. . . .” “What do you mean?” She clasped his arm, feverishly. “Why can’t we see each other occasionally? No one needs to know.” "Do you mean like this?” he asked, carefully. "Yes! Oh. Eric. I hatfe to see you.” He seized her shoulders, and even in the darkness she could see that his face was white with anger. “You poor little snob! You’d meet me In the dark, would you? Let me kiss you and make love so long as no one knew. . . “Don’t put It like that.” / “How else can I put it? But I won’t do it, Nanqy. You’ll love me openly, or you won’t love me at all. Don’t dare ask me to meet you like this again.” Suddenly he put his arms about

her and kissed her, madly, as if the caress were wrung from him! Then he pushed her away. “Go home, now,”* he cried, cruelly. “You’ve gotten what you came after.” “Eric. . . . Oh, how can you hate me so?” “I don’t hate you, I wish I could.” He turned and strode up ih® hill, leaving her shaken with emotion! Dizzy from his kiss! In his blazing wrath he was like a God. . , . Nancy ran home and crept into bed. He had kissed her. Had admitted that he could not hate her. If only there were some solution. If he would move away to a iarger place, where every one wouldn’t know what his mother did. . . . Not once did her own surrender seem possible. She thought she had suffered all a girl could endure. But she was mistaken. For the next week Eric appeared, publicly, with Clarice Jones. He didn’t even have the “decency” to go to see her ‘‘on the quiet,” as the other boys dm. He took her to the movies. “He would,” Nancy declared, bitterly. when Edith told her about it. “Well, I am going to tell my father,” Edith said, disgustedly. “I’ll bet he’ll have something to say about his running around with a girl like that.” What William Harcourt said was a shock to both his daughter and her little friend. “See here, Edith, don’t you try to run the business of the Gas and Electric Company. Eric Nelson is a damned fine meager. It’s none of my business how he spends his time after office hours. What’s the matter with the Jones girl, anyway?” Edith blushed and replied that she was cheap and common.”

“How do you know? Ever been out with her?” “Certainly not, Daddy! But the boys all go up there and meet her out places.” "All right, daughter. I guess that needn't worry you. You don’t know what goes on, and I don’t believe I’d say anything.” Edith and Nancy had a long talk about it afterward, deciding that men “stood up for each other” In matters like this. Tt was maddening. . . . But wh;>t could a couple of innocent young girls do. . . .? Nothing! As Nancy soon discovered. For, of course, the time came when she was forced to hear Eric’s voice on the porch next door, followed by rippling laughter and a silence which made Nancy sit up In bed and clutch her throat. . . .
