THIS HAS HAPPENED SAIXY FORD is “farmed out” to CLEM CARSON, farmer the summer she is 16 and leaves the orDh&nasre, the only home she knows from the time she is 4. She meets DAVID Nash, athlete and student of scientific farming, who Is working on the Carson farm for the summer. David likes the orphan, openly prefering her to PEARL, Carson’s daughter. This angers Pearl and Carson. When Carson makes insulting remarks about Sally, David hits him. David and Sally, fearing Carson is dead, run away. At daylight they find themselves near a carnival train. Sally is overjoyed to find EDDIE COBB, former inmate of the Home, who runs away to join the carnival. He asks WINFIELD BYBEE, owner of the carnival, to make a place for them. David is placed in the cook’s car, while MRS. BYBF.E, the real manager of the carnival dresses Sally in satin trousers and tunic and sends her on the platform as Princess Lalla. crystal gazer. The midget, “PITTY SING,” asks Sally to carry her to the car for her supper. Sally gladly responds and nestles the little woman in her arms. Her eyes catch the headlines of the paoer the midget holds. She sees a name she has come to fear and loathe —the name of Carson. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XVI WHEN Sally had carefully deposited the dignified little midget, “Pitty Sing,” in the infantsized high-chair drawn up to a corner table in the dining car, she hurried to the box of a kitchen which took up the other end of the car, the newspaper trembling in her hand. She found David alone in the kitchen, slicing onions into a great pan of frying Swiss steak. Onion-induced tears streamed down his cheeks, but at the sound of Sally’s urgent voice, he turned. “Oh, David, he wasn’t killed!” she cried, taking care to keep her voice low! “But he says, oh, David, he says the most terrible things about us, and the police are looking for us—” “Hey, there, honey! Steady!” David commanded gently, as he groped for a handkerchief to wipe his streaming eyes. “Now, let’s see the paper. Thank God I- didn't commit murder —what the devil!” he interrupted himself, as his eyes traveled hurriedly down the front page. “By heaven, I almost wish I had killed him! The dirty, lying skunk!” “Farmer Accuses Hired Man of Assault to Kill” was the streamer head-line across the entire page. Below, two streamer lines of heavy Italic type informed the reader: “Clem Carson Suffers Broken Leg for Attempting to Protect Orphaned Girl Prom University Student Working on Farm.” The story, in small type, followed: “Clem Carson, prosperous farmer, living eighteen miles from the capital city, is suffering from a broken leg, a broken nose and numerous

Rid of Awful Stomach Trouble Back-ache and rheumatism also left her. Health quickly restored. Discouraged sufferers will find a message of good cheer in a letter wrtten by Mrs. Eva Reynolds, 149 So. West Ave., Kankakee, 111. She says: “I was In pain and misery for years with stomach and kidney troubles, back-ache and rheumatism. After every meal, gas pains would torture me for hours, and food felt like a rock in my stomach. I had back-ache all the time, pains around my heart, and the sharp rheumatic pains shot all through my body. I was so sick and in such agony that I was almost in despair when I finally consented to try Viuna. That was the turning point. The first week I felt decidedly better, and today every sign of pain ha3 left me. My appetite and digestion are fine, no gas, no distress of any kind. It seems wonderful to be entirely free from rheumatism and back-ache,. I am no longer constipated, my complexion has cleared up, and I am full of energy where I used to be so weak and draggy. Viuna brought back my health, after I had given up hope of ever being well again.” Viuna acta promptly on alnggieb bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purities the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digestion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial.

cuts and bruises, sustained late Saturday afternoon when Carson alleges he broke into the garret bedroom of Miss Sally Ford, 16-year-old girl from the State orphanage, who was working on the Carson farm for her board during the summer vacation!. According to Carson’s story, told reporters Sunday night after a warrant for the arrest of Sally Ford and David Nash had been issued by the sheriff’s office, the farmer had been suspicious for several days that one of his nired men, David Nash, A. & M. student during the school year, was paying too marked attention to the young girl, for whose safety Carson had pledged himself ot the State. “On Saturday afternoon early the members of Mr. Carson’s family, including his wife, brother, mother and daughter, had come to town for shopping, leaving Miss Ford alone in the house. The two other hired men had also gone to the city, leaving Carson and young Nash at work on the farm. Carson alleges that he saw Nash enter the house late Saturday afternoon and that when the young man did not return to his work in the barn within a reasonable time, Carson left his own work to investigate, fearing for the safety of the girl under his protection. “After unsuccessfully searching the main floor of the house, Carson alleges, he went to the garret, heard voices coming from Miss Ford’s room, tried the door and found it locked. He knocked, was refused admittance, according to the story told the sheriff, then, determined to save the girl from the man, he climbed to the roof of the porch and made his way to the small window of the great room, from which he saw Miss Ford and the Nash boy in a compromising position. When he tried to enter the room through the window, Carson alleges that he was brutally assaulted by young Nash, who, by the way, was boxing champion of the sopohomore class at A. &M. A smashing blow from young Nash's fist sent the farmer crashing through the window and down the sloping roof to the ground. “In the fall, Carson’s left leg was broken above the knee. He was still unconscious when Dr. John E. Salter, a physician living ten miles from the Carson farm, on the road to the capital, arrived at the deserted farm, summoned by a mysterious male voice by telephone. The sheriff's theory, as well as the doctor’s, is that young Nash, fearful that he had seriously injured the farmer, summoned medical help before leaving with the girl. "A warrant for the arrest of David Nash has been issued by the sheriff, charging the young student with assault with intent to kill, and with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The warrant for Miss Ford’s arrest charges moral delinquency. Since she is a ward of the State until her 18th birthday she is also liable to arrest on the simple charge of running away from the farm, on which the State orphanage authorities had placed her for the summer.” Sally, trembling so that her teeth chattered, watched David as he read the entire story. His young face became more and more grim as Me read. When he had finished the shameful, hideously untrue account of what had really been a piece of superb gallantry on his part, he crumpled the paper slowly between the fingers of his big hand as If that hand were crushing out the life of the man who had lied so monstrously. Then, lifting a lid of the big coal range, he thrust the crumpled mass of paper into the flames. “But—what are we going to do, David?” Sally whispered, her eyes searching his grim face piteously. “They’ll send me to the reformatory if they catch me, and you—you—oh, David! They’ll send you to prison for years and years! I wish you’d never laid eyes on me! I’d rather die than have you come to harm through me.”

She sagged against the narrow shelf which, served as a kitchen table, weeping forlornly, “Don’t cry, Sally,” David pleaded gently. “It’s not your fault; I’d do it all over again if anyone else dared insult you. Oh, the devil! These onions are burning up! Skip along now and don’t worry. I’m cook tonight. Buck’s on a spree. Keep a stiff upper lip honey. In all that brown paint and that rig, you could walk into the sheriff's office and he’d do nothing worse than ask you to read his palm.” “But you, David, you” she protested, trying to choke off her sobs. “You’re not disguised—” “I’ll stick to the kitchen. Nobody’ll think of looking for me here.” He grinned at her cheerfully. “Remember, Pop Bybee’s on our side. He took us in when he thought I’d killed a man. I don’t suppose he’ll turn on us now, particularly since you’re such a riot as Princess Lalla. I’ve been hearing how big you’re going over in the Palace of Wonders.” “Honestly, David?” she brightened. “Do you like me dressed up like this?” and she made him a little curtsey. “You sweet, sweet kid” he laughed at her tenderly. “Like you '.ike that? You’re adorable But I like your own wild-rose complexion oetter. Now scoot or I’ll be put in irons for spoiling the supper.” Sally fled, but not before she had blown him an audacious kiss from the tips of her gilded-nailed fingers. Winfield Bybee had entered the dining car during her talk with David and was seated at his own table, his thin, hatchet-faced wife opposite him. When he saw his new Princess Lalla almost skipping down the aisle, her eyes sparkling with joy at David’s unexpected praise and tenderness, he muttered something to Mrs. Bybee, thn beckoned the fantastically-clad little figure to his table. “Would her royal highness honor me and Mrs. Bybee with her presence at dinner this evening?’’ he boomed, his blue eyes twinkling. When she had seated herself, after a little flurry of thanks. Bybee leaned toward her and spoke in a confidential undertone: “Me and the wife have seen that piece in the papers about you and Dave, Sally. What about it? Who’s lying? You and the boy—-or Carson?”. Sally had turned the little black lace veil back upon the jeweled-gilt crown, so that her big eyes showed

like two round, polished sapphires set in bronze. Bybee, searching them with his keen, pale blue eyes, could find in them no guile, no cloud of guilt. “David and I told you the truth, Mr. Bybee,” she said steadily, but her lips trembled childishly. “You believe us, don’t you? David is good, good!” “All right,” Bybee nodded his acceptance of her truthfulness. "Now what was that you was telling me and the wife about your mother?” Sally’s heart leaped with hope. “She—my mother—lived here in Stanton, Mr. Bybee. I have her address, the one she gave the orphanage twelve years ago when she put me there. But Miss Pond, who works in the office at the Home, said they had investigated and found she had moved right after she put me in the orphanage. But I thought—l hoped—l could find out something while I’m here. But I suppose it would be too dangerous —I might get caught—and they’d send me to the reformatory—” “Haven’t I told you I’m not going to let ’em bother you?” Bybee chided her, beetling his brows in a terrific frown. “Now my idea is this—” “My idea, Winfield Bybee” his wife interrupted tartly. “Always taking credit! That's you all over! My idea, Sally, is for me to scout around the neighborhood where your mother used to live, and see if I can pick up any information for you. Land knows a girl alone like you needs some folks of her own to look after her. Wouldn’t do for you to go around asking questions,

but I’ll make out like I’m trying to find out where my long-lost sister, Mrs. Ford. is. What was her first name! Got that, tco!” “Her name was Nora,” Sally said softly. “Mrs. Nora Ford, aged 28 then—twelve years ago. Oh, Mrs. Bybee, you’re both so good to me! Why are you so good to me?” she added ingeniously. - “Maybe,” Mrs. Bybee answered brusquely, “it’s because you're a sweet kid, without any flirty nonsense about you. That is,” she added severely, her sharp gray eyes flicking from Sally’s eager face to Bybeee’s, “you’d better not let me catch you making eyes at this old Tom Cat of mine!” “Now ma,” Bybee flushed and squirmed, “don't tease the poor kid. Can't you see she’s clear gone on this Dave chap of her’s? She wouldn’t even know I was a man if I didn’t wear pants. Don’t mind her, Sally. She’s your friend, too, and she’ll try to get on your ma’s tracks tomorrow' morning before show time.” (To Be Cor inuecU AT! are not friendly in the carnival.
