THIS HAS HAPPENED Ward of the state orphanage since she was 4, SALLY FORD is "farmed out” to CLEM CARSON the summer she is 16. He also hires DAVID NASH, athlete and student, for summer work. When Carson makes remarks about David's friendship for Sally, David deals him a terrific blow. They run away and join a carnival, David as cook's helper and Sally in a sideshow disguised as “Princess Lalla,” crystal gazer. In Capital City, location of the orphanage, Sally is recognized when the orphans troop in, chaperoned by a beautiful "Lady Bountiful.” Sally learns from ARTHUR VAN HORNE, a handsome easterner, visiting in Capital City, that the “Lady Bountiful” is ENID BARR, wife of a wealthy New York man. One night Sally goes to the show train to visit David and returns alone through the dark streets. A car draws up beside her and Van Horne helps her in and drives her to the show grounds. He tells her that Enid Barr believes her to be Sally Ford and is working to have her returned to the orphanage. As they near the show grounds. Van Horne leans forward and in flattering tones tells Sally she has a big future as a musical comedy actress and that he wants to take her to New York and give her a' year in a dramatic and dancing school. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXV AS long as she lived, Sally Ford would remember with shame that for one moment she was tempted by Arthur Van Horne’s offer to prepare her for a stage career in New York. She had “playacted” all her life; her heart’s desire before she had met David had been to become an actress, and in that one moment when she knew that realization of her ambition lay
Years of Misery Relieved by New Konjola Medicine Another Indianapolis Citizen Strongly Indorses the Advanced Compound.

MR. W. W. RICHARDSON
Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts., this city, where over 200 people are calling daily. Many of the men and women are offering signed statements and photographs, describing the work of Konjola in actual cases. An amazing statement was received just the other day from Mr. W. W. Richardson, well-known Indianapolis citizen, living at 635 Eddy St., telling of the relief he received through the use of Konjola. “I know what Konjola will do, because it helped me when I had been j bedfast for five and a half months,” I said Mr. Richardson. “I really would not take a thousand dollars for the wonderful health I now enjoy. ‘‘ln the first place, I was hurt by falling plaster, and I was told that my internal organs were injured. It seemed to me that my entire body was torn loose. I suffered agonies from aches and pains throughout my system. Sometimes the pains were so unbearable I did not care what happened to me. Finally, all this suffering settled in my lower right limb and it felt as if I were | paralyzed. I was in bed five months when I was told an opera-; tion was the only thing that would help me. At the hospital I decided not to undergo the knife and; signed my own release. An opera- j tion seemed to be the only thing! that would help me, but I was hoping against hope that another: way for relief would turn up. ‘‘l had been home just a few j days when someone brought a bot- j tie of Konjola to the house and i asked me to try it. I knew that it would do me no harm to take this medicine, and so I started on the treatment. Before I finished the second bottle I was able to get out of bed. I could almost feel the healing effect of this medicine every time I took a dose. There seemed to be new life in my body, and before the third bottle was empty I was out of the house. My internal organs were functioning properly and all the soreness was gone. Today I can truthfully say that I hardly realize I ever went through such awful torture. Hundreds of people came to see me while I was still in bed, suffering and unable to move. Every one of those persons will verify what I have said about the relief Konjola gave me. ‘‘As I said before, I would not take a thousand dollars for what Konjola has done for me. I am making this statement hoping that I might be able to help others who are suffering. Words can never express my appreciation for the wonderful new health I have received. I only hope that this statement will be the means for others to find the road to new and glorious health.” The Konjola Man is at Hook Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is dally meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is sold at' !1 the Hook drug stores in Indianapolis and other good druggists throughout this section.—Advertisement.
within her grasp she wanted to stretch out her hands and seize opportunity. Her eyes glistened; she gasped involuntarily with delight. If Van Horne had not been hasty, if he had not snatched her to him with a strangled cry of triumph as his black eyes—mocking no* longer, but wide and brilliant with desireread the effect of his words, she might have committed herself, have promised him anything. But he did touch her, and her flesh instinctively recoiled, for every nerve in her body was still athrill with David’s goodnight kiss. “No, no! Don’t touch me!” she shuddered. “I won’t go! You know I love David!” she wailed, covering her face with her hands. “Why won’t you let me alone?” Van laughed, settled back in his seat and crossed his arms upon his breast. “I can wait until you have your little tummy full of carnival life and of hiding from the police,” he told her in his old, nonchalant way. “Incidentally I have always bemoaned the fact that conquest is so damnably easy. It is anew experience to me—this being refused, and I suspect that I’m enjoying it. Now—shall I say goodnight, since we’ve reached the carnival lot? It’s not goodby, you know, Sally I assure you I’m admirably persistent. And remember, if Enid tries to make a nuisance of herself, you can always fly to Van. Good night, Sally, you adorable, ungrateful little wretch! No kiss? Perhaps it is better so I’m afraid I should not care for the brand of lipstick that Princess Lalla uses.” Sally did not tell David of Van Horne’s offer, for on Saturday, the last day of the Carnival in Capital City, the boy developed a temperature which caused Gus, who had acted as volunteer surgeon, to exclude all visitors, even Sally. Apparently Enid Barr had been convinced of Bybee's gallant lies I that little orphaned Betsy had beenj mistaken and that “Princess Lalla” was not “Sally Ford, play-acting,” but it was not until the show train was rolling out of the State in the small hours of Sunday morning that the girl dared breathe easily. Sunday, on the show train, was a happy day, the happiest that Sally had ever known in her life. Freaks and dancers, barkers and concessionaires, all the members of that ] wierdly assorted family, the carnival, mingled in a joyous freedom from work and worry, singing together, reminiscing, gambling, gossipping. The last week, except for the storm, had been an excellent one; | money was free, spirits high. Even j Mrs. Bybee, hovering like a mother hen over David, was good-natured, < inclined to reminisce and give ad- | vice. Sally, whose talent for ex-! quisite darning had been discov-1 ered by the women and girls, sat j on the edge of David's berth, her j lap full of flesh and beige and gun- , metal silk stockings, her needle fly- j ing busily, her lips curved with a smile of pure delight, as she listened j to the surge of daughter and song j and talk. The midget, “Pitty Sing,” perched on the window ledge of! David’s berth, a comical pair of j spectacles across her infinitesimal nose, was reading aloud to David from one of her own tiny books, and David was listening, but his eyes! were fixed worshipfully upon Sally, and now and again his left hand reached out and patted her busy fingers, or twirled the hanging braid of her hair. Oh, it was a happy day, and Sally was sorry to have It end. But the show had to go on. The train wheels could not click forever over the rails. Monday, with its bustle and confusion and ballyhoo and inevitable performances, lay head. But they were far out of the State which held Clem Carson, the or-

phanage, Enid Barr, Arthur Van Horne and all other menaces to freedom when the train did stop at last, on the outskirts of a town of 10,000 inhabitants.! Carnival routine had already become an old story to Sally; she no longer minded the curious stares of villagers, the crude advances of dressed up young male “rubes.” The glamour had worn off, but in its place had come a deep contentment and a sympathetic understanding, bom on that happy Sunday when the relaxed carnival family had shown her its heart and hopes. She was glad to be one of them, to be earning her living by giving entertainment and happi-ness-fake though her crystal-gaz-ing was—to thousands of people whose lives were blighted with monotony. During their first week in the new territory business was ever, better than the Bybees had dared hope. Postively the only calamity that befell the carnival was the discovery that Babe, the fat girl, had lost five pounds, due to her loudly confessed but unrequited passion for the carnival’s hero, David Nash. On Wednesday David was permitted to get up, and that afternoon for the first time he witnessed Sally’s performance as- “Princess Lalla.” She had become so proficient in her intuitious regarding those who sought knowledge of "past, present and future,” that his smiling, amused attentiveness to her “readings” did not embarrass her. When the show was over, she joined him proudly, her little brownpainted hands clinging to his arm, her face uptilted adoringly to his, as she pattered at his side on a tour of the midway. It was then that her dreams came true. At last she was “doing the carnival” with a “boy friend,” like other girls. And David played up magnificently, buying her hot dogs, salt water taffy, red lemonade—the two of them drinking out of twin straws from the same glass. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning before show time the two wandered about the village to! which the carnival had journeyed! the night before. It was heavenly to be able to walk the streets un-; afraid. David walked with head I high, shoulders squared, unafraid to look any man in the face, and, Sally could have cried with joy that | he was free again, for Bybee had assured them that there was not j the slightest chance of extradition on the charges which still stood j against the two in their native State. Some day, somehow, the cloud against them would be lifted, and David could walk the streets of Capital City as proudly as he walked these village streets. With money in their pockets.

they could afford to buy all the necessities and little luxuries which their t nf >rced flight from the Carson farm had deprived them of. Sally, her little face enchantingly grave and wise, chose ties and socks and shirts for David, and almost forgot to bother about her own needs. And David, in another part of the village “general store,” bought, blushingly but undauntedly, little pink silk brassieres and silk jersey knickers and silk stockings for the girl he loved. When she saw them she burst into tears, hugging them to her breast as if they were living, feeling things, “Why David, darling!” she sobbed and laughed, “I’ve never before in all my life had any silk underwear or a pair of silk stockings! I—l’m afraid to wear them for fear I’ll spoil them when I have to wash them. Oh, the dear things! The lovely, precious things!” "And here’s something else,” David said to her that Saturday morning. They were in the still-deserted Palace of Wonders, their spread out on Sally’s platform. “Give me your hand and shut your eyes,” David commanded gently, with a throb of excitement in his voice. She obeyed, but when she felt a ring being slipped upon the third finger of her left hand her eyes flew open and found a sapphire to match them. For the ring which David had bought for her was a plain loop of white gold, with a deep-blue sapphire in an old-fash-ioned Tiffany mounting, such as tradition has made sacred to engagement rings. “Oh, David!” She laid her hand against her cheek, pressing the stone so hard that it left its manyfaceted imprint upon her flesh. Then she had to kiss it and David had to kiss it—and her. "I wish it could have been a diamond,” David deprecated. “I suppose all girls prefer diamond engagement rings. But—” “Oh, David, is it an engagement ring?” she breathed, then flung herself upon his breast, her hands clinging to his shoulders. "Os course it is, precious idiot!” he laughed. Very gently but insistently he forced her. face upward, so that their eyes met and clung. His were boyishly ardent but solemn, hers were misted over with tears, but brighter and bluer than the stone upon her finger. “J don’t know when we can be married, Sally, but—l wanted you to have a ring and to know that I’ll always be thinking and planning and—oh, I can't talk You want to be engaged, don't you, Sally? You love me—enough?” “I adore you. I love you so that I feel I am not even half a person when you’re not with me. I couldn’t live without you, David,” she said solemnly.

They were still sitting there, talking, planning, making love shyly but ardently, when Gus, the barker, mounted the box outside the tent and began to ballyhoo for the first show cf the morning. “Eleven o’clock and I’m not in make-up yet, and you’ve got to run the wheel for Eddie today,” Sally cried in dismay, jumping to her feet and gathering up her scattered purchases and presents. As the day wore on, with show after show drawing record crowds for a village of its size, “Princess Lalla” gazed more often into the shining blue depths of a small sapphire than into the magic depths of her crystal. But perhaps the sapphire had a magic of its own, for never had her audiences been better pleased, never had quarters been thrust so thick and fast upon her. At half past nine that night Gus, the barker, had not quite finished his “spiel” about the Princess Lalla when the girl, whose eyes had been fixed trance-like upon her ring, saw a woman suddenly begin to ascend the steps to the platform. Before her startled eyes had traveled upward to the woman's face Sally knew who it was. For twelve years that big, stiffly corseted, severely dressed body had been as familiar to her as her own. Instinctively, though her blood had turned instantly to ice water in her veins, Sally's right hand closed over her left, to conceal the sapphire. Thelma had not been permitted to keep even a bit of blue glass—(To Be Continued) Mrs. Stone of the orphanage Is confronting Sally.
