THIS HAS HAPPENED The summer she is 111, SALLY FORD is "farmed out’’ to CLEM CARSON, prosperous farmer. She leaves the Stale orphanage, the only home she has known since she was four. At Clem’s farm, Sally finds a friend in DAVID NASH, athlete and student of farming, who is working on the Carson farm. David Flainly prefers Sally to Clem's daughter, earl. This angers both Pearl and Clem. When Carson makes insulting remarks about Sally. David sends him crashing to the ground. David and Sally run away and come upon a carnival train. Sally finds in the carnival troupe EDDIE COBB, former inmate of the Orphans’ Home. Eddie tells WINFIELD BYBEE. manager of the carnival, of their plight and a place is made for them. David is put in the cook’s car and Sally becomes ‘‘Princess Lalia." Turkish crystal gazer. The midget, “PITTY SING,’’ asks Sally to carry her to the car for supper and as she trips along with the little woman, she catches sight of the headlines on the midget's newspaper. The story of David’s fight with Carson is told in big headlines. Sally runs to show D3.vid the lie that is being published. As Sally leaves the kitchen she runs into Winfield Brbee and his wife. They ask her to join them at supper. Sally tells Mrs. Bvbee all she knows about her mother and that she lived at one time in Stanton. the town they are now in. Mrs. Bybce agrees to go scouting the next morning to see what she can learn. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XVII HOURS more of “crystal-gazing,” of giving lavish promises of “long journeys,” success, wealth sweethearts, husbands, wives, bumper corn and wheat crops, babies — until 11 o'clock and the merciful dwindling of the carnival crowds permitted a weary little “Princess Lalla” to slip out of the “Palace of Wonders” tent. Pitty Sing, the jnidget woman, crawled in her arms like a baby. For Pitty Sing had promptly adopted Sally as her human sedan chair, uncompromisingly dismissing black-eyed Nita, the “Hula-Hula” dancer, who had previously performed that service for her. “I don’t like Nita a bit,” the tiny treble voice informed Sally with

That Stomach of Yours!

'~ iPfaW^

Perrcy’s Studio Mrs. Ina Waldschmidt “I was terribly rundown in health. I had indigestion and gastric stomach trouble. My food did not digest, would just seem to lie in a lump, gas would form, causing distress. I was anemic, grew thin and pale and weak—had no strength nor ambition. I took medicine but got no better. My druggist advised me to take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and it helped to make good red blood, relieved me of indigestion and stomach trouble and I have had no trouble from these ailments since.”—Mrs. Ina Waldschmidt, 439 Poplar St., Ft. Wayne, Ind. Many druggists advise the use of “Golden Medical Discovery” in either liquid or tablet form, because it is reliable. Write Dr. Pierce, President Invalids’ Hotel in Buffalo, N. Y., and send 10c for trial pkg. of Discovery tablets.—Advertisement.

Have You Constant Backache?

A Persistent Backache Often Warns of Sluggish Kidneys.

EVERY day find you lame, stiff and achy? Feel tired and drowsy—suffer constant, nagging backache, depressing headache and annoying dizzy spells? Are kidney eliminations irregular or painful? Know then, these are often signs of improper kidney action and shouldn’t be neglected. Sluggish kidneys allow

“Use Doan’s, ” Say These Indiana People:

Hobart C. Walton, 591 Summer St., Hammond, Ind., says: “My kidneys seemed sluggish and the eliminations -were irregular and painful. I had headaches and dizzy spells, too. My back felt lame and stiff and 1 was tired all the time. 1 was told about Doan’s Pills and decided to try them. They made me feel fine again and I am glad to recommend them.”

great definiteness. “I do like you, and I shall compensate you generously for your services. Nita has no proper respect for me, though I command—and I say it without boasting, I hope—twice the salary that that indecent muscle-dancer does. And she always joggled me,” the midget added aggrievedly. “Poor Pitty Sing!” Sally soothed her, as she picked her way carefully over the grass stubble to the big dress ten which also served as sleeping quarters for the women performers of the “Palace of Wonders.” “Haven’t you anyone to look after you? Anyone belonging to you, I mean?” “Why should I have?” the indignant little piping voice demanded from Sally’s shoulder. “I’m a woman grown, as I’ve reminded you before. I’ve been paying Nita five dollars a week to carry me to and from the show tent for each performance. Os coui’se there are a few other little things she does for me, but if you’d like to have the position I think we would get along very nicely.” “Oh, I’m sure of it!” Sally exulted, laying her cheek for an instant against the flaxen, marcelled little head. “Thank you, Pitty Sing, thank you with all my heart!” “Please don’t call me ‘Pitty Sing’,” the little voice commanded tartly. “The name does very well for exhibition purposes, but my name is Miss Tanner—Elizabeth Matilda Tanner.” “Oh, I’m sorry!” Sally protested, hurt and abashed. “I didn’t mean— I—” “But you may call me Betty.” The treble was suddenly sweet and sleepy like a child’s. One of the miniature hands fluttered out inadequately to help Sally part the flaps of the dress tent, which was deserted except for the fat girl, already asleep and snoring stertorously. Sally knelt to enable the midget to stand on the beaten down stubble which served as the only carpet of Sally’s new “dormitory.” “Thank you, Sally,” the midget piped, her eyes lifted toward Sally out of a network of wrinkles which tesified that 'she was indeed a “woman grown.” “You’re a very

acid poisons to remain in the blood and upset the whole system. If your kidneys are acting sluggishly, assist them with Doan's Pills. Doan's, a stimulant diuretic, increase the activity of the kidneys and thus aid in the elimination of waste impurities. Druggists everywhere sell Doan's. Since 1885 they have been winning new friends. Aslc your neighbor!

Mrs. J. W. Robbins, 425 S. 15th St., Terre Haute, Ind., says: “There was a soreness across my kidneys and sharp pains seized me when I stooped. Headaches were a daily occurrence, I had a tired feeling and was annoyed by dizzy spells. Sometimes I had to give up my work. Doan's Pills helped me in fine shape and I have been well since.”

nice girl, and your David is one of the handsomest men I have ever saw.” “Your David!” Sally’s heart repeated the words, sang them, crooned over them, but she did not answer, except with one of her rare, sudden, sweet smiles. “Nita evidently thinks so, too,” the weak little treble went on, as “Pitty Sing” trqfted toward her cot, looking like an animated doll. “I might as well warn you right now, Sally, that I don’t trust that Nita person as far as I can throw a bull by the horns.” She flung her dire pronouncement over a tiny, pink-silk shoulder as she knelt before a small metal trunk and reached into her bosom for a key suspended around her neck on a chain. Sally’s desire to laugh at the preposterous picture of the midget throwing a bull by tjie horns was throtteld by anew and particularly horrid fear. “What—do you mean, Betty?” she gasped. “Has Nita—?” “—been vamping your David?” tiny Miss Elizabeth Matilda Tanner finished her sentence for her. “It would not be Nita if she overlooked a prospect like your David. It is entirely obvious that he is a person of breeding and family, even if he is helping Buck in the ‘privilege’ car kitchen. Nita is always so broke that she has to eat her meals in the cook tent, but she borrowed or stole the money today to eat in the privilege car, and she found it necessary to confer with your David on a purely fictitious dietic problem, and then went boldly into the kitchen to time the eggs he was boiling for her. v That Nita!” the tiny voice snorted contemptuously. “She’s as strong as a horse and has about as much need for a special diet as an elephant has for galoshes. Oh, she’s up to her tricks, not a doubt about that. I just thought I’d warn you in time. Nita’s a man-eating tigress and once she’s smelled blood—” “Thank you, Betty,” Sally interrupted gently, as she knelt beside the midget to help her with the lid of the trunk. “But David isn’t my David, you know. He’s —he’s just a friend who helped me out when I was in terrible trouble. If Nita likes David, and—he—likes her—” “Don’t be absurd!” the midget scolded her, setting herself on a tiny stool to take off her baby-size shoes and stockings. “Os course you’re in love with him, and he’s crazy about you—a blind person could see that. Will you untie this shoe-lace, please? My nightgown is in tray of the trunk, and you’ll find a nightcap there, too. I wear it,” she explained severely, on the defensive against ridicule, “to protect my marcel. Heaven knows it's hard enough to get a good curl in these hick towns, with the rubes gaping at me wherever I go. Then please get my Ibsen—a little green leather book. I’m reading ‘Hedda Gabler’ now. Have you read it?” “Oh, yes,” Sally cried, delightedly. “Do you like to read? Could I borrow it to read between shows? I’ll take awfully good care of it—” “Certainly I read!” Miss Tanner informed her severely, climbing, with Sally's help into her low cotbed. “My father, who had these little books made especially for me, was a university professor. I have completed the college course, under his tutelage. If he had not died I should not be here,” and her little eyes were suddenly bitter with loneliness and resentment against the whimsy of a Providence that elected to make her so different from other women. Sally found the miniature book, small enough to fit the midget's hand, and gave it to her, then

stooped and kissed the little faded, wrinkled cheek and set about the difficult and unaccustomed task of removing her make-up. Beside her cot bed she found a small tin steamer trunk, stenciled in red paint with the magic name, “Princess Lalla.” She stared at it increduously for a long mintue, then untwisted the wire holding duplicate keys. When she threw back the lid she found a shiny black tin make-up box, containing the burnt-sienna powder Mrs. Bybee had used in making her up for the first day’s performances; a big can of theatrical cold cream; squares of soft cheese-cloth for removing make-up; two new towels; mascara, lip rouge, white face powder, a utilitarian black comb and brush; tooth paste and tooth brush. “Oh, these kind people!” she whispered to herself, and bent her head upon the make-up box and wept grateful tears. Then, smiling at herself and humming a little tune below her breath, she lifted the tray and found—not the telltale dresses which Pearl Carson had given her and which had been minutely described by the police in the newspaper account of the neartragedy on the Carson farm—but two new dresses, cheap but pretty, the little paper ticket stitched into the neck of each showing the size to be correct—l 4. She was still kneeling before her trunk, blinded with tears of gratitude, when a coarse, nasal voice slashed across the dress tent: “Well, strike me dumb, if it ain’t

What's the matter he ain’t rocking you to sleep and giving you your nice warm little bottle?” Sally rose slowly, the new dresses slithering to the floor in stiff folds. She batted the tears from her eyes with quick flutters of her eyelids and then stared at the girl who stood at the tent flap, taunting her. She saw a thin, tall girl, naked to the waist except for breastplates made of tarnished metal studded with imitation jewels. About her lean hips and to her knees hung a skirt of dried grass, the regulation “hula dancer” skirt. “You're—Nita, aren’t you?” Sally’s voice was small, placating. “I’m—” “Oh, I know who you are!

MINER STAGGERED, HE FELT SO DIZZY Had Dark Spots Before Eyes; Dull, Tired, Aching Feeling. Sick Spells Made Him Lose Time From His Work. Telling how he had known of the merit of Thedford’s Black-Draught j since he was a boy. Mr. Albert Garland of Somerset, Ky„ recently said: "I used to work in the mines, but lost quite a bit of time on account of the sick spells I had. I would get to having a bad taste in my mouth, and a very dull, tired feeling and ache. I would have dark spots in ; front of my eyes, and I would be so dizzy I would stagger like I was drunk. “I took medicine, but didn't seem to get any better. “My mother told me to try BlackDraught, which I did, and after a few doses I felt much better. Now I take it as soon as I feel the least bad, and don’t get down. I certanly can say that it has done more for me than any other medicine I have ever taken. “I never get without BlackDraught. If Igo on a visit, I take a package along in my suitcase. My health is better now than it has been in years, and I believe it is the use of Black-Draught that did it.” Black-Draught is prepared from medicinal l’oots and herbs, of highest quality, carefully combined and packaged by automatic machinery.

out, as Nita swung into the tent, her grass skirts swishing like the hiss of snakes. “Furthermore, you’re Pop Bybee’s blue-eyed baby girl! And—you’re the baby-faced little she-devil that stole my graft with that little midget! Well, Princess Lalla, I guess we’ve been introduced proper now, and we can skip formalities and get down to business. Hunh?” And she bent menacingly over Sally, evil black eyes glittering into wide, frightened blue ones, her mouth an ugly, twisting, red loop of hatred. Sally backed away, instinctively, from the snake-tongues of venom in those black eyes. “I’m sorry I’ve offended you, Miss—Nita—” “If you’re not you will be! Want me to tip off the police? Well, then, if you don’t, listen, because I want you to get this—and get it good, all of it!” (To Be Continued) Rally is told that unless Nita can have David she will be turned over to the police.
