NOBODY'S GIRL ALVTIN auik&v-o/tfe, PENNY PRINCE/7 ~

THIS HAS HAPPENED SALLY FORD, 16, ward of the State orphanage since she was four, is "farmed out” to CLEM CARSON, who also hires DAVID NASH, athlete and student for summer work. When Carson makes remarks about David's friendship for Sally, David hits him a crashing blow. .'They run away and join a carnival, Vlavid as cook’s helper and Sally as "Princess Lalla,” crystal gazer. In Capital City, location of the orphanage, tSally is recognized when the orphans troop in, chaperoned by a beautiful •'Lady Bountiful.” GUS, the barker, diverts attention and Sally is saved. Sally learns from ARTHUR VAN 7IORNE, handsome easterner, who, annoys Sally with his attentions, that the "Lady Bountiful” is ENID BARR, wife •fa wealthy New Yorker. In another state Sally feels more secure and she and David go about the town streets without fear of police. <Oavid gives her a sapphire engagement *ing. One night as Sally sits before the .aryst*! reading fortunes, she is stunned *o stt, coming toward her the stiff, corseted figure which she knew so well during those twelve years in the State Orphanage, Mrs. Stone, the matron. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXVI SALLY felt as if her flesh were shriveling upon her bones. An actual numbness spread from her shoulders to her fingertips, in anticipation of the shock of feeling the Orphans’ Home matron’s grip upon them. How many, many times in her 12 years in the orphanage had she been roughly jerked to her feet by those broad, heavy hands, when she had been caught in some minor infringement of Mrs. Stone’s stern rules! Her hands, instinctively clasped so that her precious engagement ring might be hidden from those gimblet-like gray eyes, were so rigid that Sally wondered irrelevantly if thy would ever come to life again, to curve their fingers abount the magic crystal. But of course she would never “read” the crystal again. She was caught, caught! “Are you deaf?” Mrs. Stone’s harsh voice pierced her numbed Indigestion Spoils Your Life How to End Stomach Troubles Although indigestion may not be chronic with many people, it i3 surprising how even slight pains or feelings of fullness after eating steal much of life’s sparkle and happiness.

Poor Teeth —Poor Health Walls of Teeth Often Conceal Trouble Within The nature of the mouth Is such that 111 FT it can not on the surface indicate trou- —L ble that may be mining the pulp within. Pus pockets or matter inside the tooth, often poison the blood for months before the tooth gives trouble enough to drive its owner to the dentist. Chronic ill health is being more and more traced to the teeth by medical investigation. Many people now make it a practice to have the teeth examined every six months “on suspicion.” It is one form of health insurance. “I certainly want to praise The People's Dentists, for they extracted twenty-three teeth for me without the least pain.” MRS.

hearing as if from a distance. “I want my fortune told. I’ve paid my quarter and I don’t intend to dillydally around here all day.” The relief was so terrible that the girl’s body began to tremble all over, but the rigidity of terror had mercifully relaxed, so that she could lift her shaking hands. Gus, the barker, who always remained upon the platform during her “readings,” had long ago arranged a code signal of distress, and now she gave it. Her hands went up to the ridiculous crown of fake jewels that banded her long black hair and adjusted it, tipping it first to the right and then to the left, as if to ease the pressure of its weight upon her forehead. That very natural gesture told Gus more plainly than words that “Princess Lalla” was in danger and asked him to use his ingenuity to rescue her. There was no need for her to lift her eyes to him. Jerkily her hands came down, hovered over the crystal, and before Mrs. Stone could voice another harsh complaint the sing-song voice which “Princess Lalla” used was requesting "ze ladee” to sit down in the chair opposite. But what should she tell Mrs. Stone, with whose personality and history she had been familiar for 12 years? If she dared to read “past, present and future’ with any degree of accuracy, the matron would be startled into observing the “seeress” with those gimlet eyes of hers. If she went to wide of the mark in generalities, Mrs. Stone was entirely capable of raising a disturbance which would ruin business for the rest of the day. “Well, what do you see—if anything?” Mrs. Stone demanded angrily. That gave Sally her cue. Bending low over the crystal, so that her face was within a few inches of that of the woman who sat opposite her, with only the crystal stand between them, she pretended to peer into the depths of the glass ball. Then slowly she began to shake her head regretfully. “Princess Lalla is so-o-o sor-ree” —the small, song-song voice was raised a bit, so that Gus, who had strolled leisurely across the platform to take his stand behind Sally’s chair, might hear perfectly—“but ze creeystal she ees dark. She tell me nossing about ze nice, tall la-dee. Sometimes It ees so Ze gen-tle-man weel give ze money back.” The thin little shoulders under the green satin jacket shrugged eloquently, the little brown hands spread themselves with a gesture of helplessness and regret. “Glad to refund your money, lady!” Gus sang out loudly. “Here you are! Better luck next time! Princess Lalla is the gen-u-ine article; If she don’t see nothing in the crystal for you, she don’t string you along—right here lady,! Heres you money ba:k—” Sally leaned back in her chair, weak with relief, her eyes closed, as Gus tried to urge her nemesis from the platform. In a moment the danger would be over— Then, so quickly was it done that

Sally had not the slightest chance to shield her eyes, a hand had snatched the black lace veil from her face. Terror-widened sapphire eyes stared, with betraying recognition, into narrowed, angry gray ones. Mrs. Stone nodded with •grim satisfaction. “So Betsey was right! If that idiotic Amelia Pond had told me while the carnival was still in Capital City, I’d been saved this trip. Get up from there Sal—” A shriek from the throat of a woman in the audience, which was packed densely about the platform, interrupted the matron, successfully diverting the attention of the curious from the puzzling drama upon the platform. “I’ve been robbed! Help! Police!” Again the siren of a women’s scream made the air hideous. “It was her! She was standing right by me! Police! Police! Even Mrs Stone was diverted for the moment. Gus, the barker, sprang to the edge of the platform as a red-faced, disheveled woman fought her way through the crowd to the platform. “What seems to be the trouble, madam?” Gus demanded loudly. “Who took your purse?” He reached a helping hand to the woman who was struggling to get to the steps leading to the platform. “It was her!” The “country woman,” whom Sally had recognized instantly as a “schiller,” an employe of the circus, extremely useful in just such emergencies, shook an angry forefinger in Mrs. Stone’s astounded face. “She's got it right there in her hands! The gall of her! Standing right by me, she was, before she came up here to get her fortune told. Stole my purse, she did, right outa my hands— ’ “This is my purse!” Mrs. Stone shrilled, her face suddenly strutted with blctad. “I never heard of anything so brazen in my life! It's my purse and I can prove it is.” She turned menacingly toward Gus, who was looking from one angry woman to another as if greatly embarrassed and perplexed. “Reckon I’d better call the constable and let him settle this thing,” he said apologetically. “I’m a deputy sheriff,” a man called loudly from the audience. “Make way for the law!” The awe-stricken and happily thrilled crowd parted obediently to let a fat man with a silver star on his coat lapel pass majestically toward the platform. Sally knew him, too, as a ‘schiller” whose principal job with the carnival was to impersonate an officer of the law when trouble rose between the “rubes”

Had Severe Pains and Stomach Gas Every Meal Tortured Him. Back Ached Always. Trouble Quickly Ended. Readers who are afflicted with stomach torture, back-ache, rheumatism or weak kidneys, will find good news in a letter written by Mr. Geo. Ride, 426 N. Hickory St., Kankakee, 111. He says:— ‘For many years, I had serious trouble with my stomach and kidneys. I suffered terribly with cramps, gas and biliousness after meals. I could hardly hold anything on my stomach. I was dizzy, weak, short of breath and very sallow. My kidneys were weak and disturbed me at night. I had terrible headaches, severe pains in my back, my joints were stiff and I was sore all over. I tried about everything, but kept getting worse until I started using Viuna. It quickly brought relief, and now I am feeling fine. I’ve had no gas or bilious attacks since I started the second bottle. My back has stepped aching, my headaches have vanished, and those terrible dizzy spells are things of the past. My tongue and complexion have cleared up, kidneys are just about normal again, and I am sleeping soundly, eating with a real appetite, and feeling better every day. I owe it all to Viuna.” Vlnna acts promptly Sn slngglrt jowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purifies the blood, clears the skin, restores appetite and digestion, and brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then if yoare not glad you tried Vlnna, yonr money will be refunded. $1 at druggists, or mailed postpaid by Iceland medicine Cos., Indianapolis, lud. VIUNA The Wonder Medicine

and any member of the carnival’s big family. “Come along quiet, ladies!” the fat man admonished the two women briskly. “We’ll settle this little spat outside, all nice and peaceable, I hope.’ The last word was spoken to Mrs. Stone with significant emphasis. “This is an outrage!” the orphanage matron raged, but the “deppity sheriff” gave her no opportunity to say more, either in her own defense or to Sally. Gus, the barker, bent over the trembling girl while the crowd was still enthralled over the spectacle of two appafently respectable mid-dle-aged women being dragged out of the tent under arrest. “Better beat it, kid. The dame’s hep to you. Reckon she’s the Orphan’ Home matron you been telling us about. Here, take this—” and he thrust a few crumpled bills into her hand—“and don't ever let on to Pop Bybee that I helped you get away. Goodby, honey. Good luck. You’re a great kid. ... All right, folks! Excitement’s all over! It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you the smallest and prettiest little lady in the world. We call her ‘Pitty Sing, and I don’t reckon I have to tell you why—” Five minutes later Sally was cowering against the rear wall of Eddie Cobb’s gambling-wheel concession, pouring out her story to David, to whom she had fled as soon as Gus had tolled the crowd away from her platform. “And she recognized me, David!” the girl sobbed, the palms of her trembling hands pressed against her face. “I was so startled when she tore my veil off that I couldn't pretend any longer. As soon as she gets away from the ‘schillers’ she’ll set the real constable on my trail. Gus told me to beat it—oh, David! What’s going to become of me—and you? Oh!” And she choked on the sobs that were tearing at her throat. “Why, darling child, we’re going to ‘beat it,’ as Gus advises. Os course! We’ve ‘beat it’ together before. Listen, honey! Stop crying and listen. Go to the dress tent, get your make-up off, change your clothes and make a small bundle of things you’ll need, and I'll join you there, just outside the door flaps, in not more than 10 minutes. I’ve got to get my money from Pop Bybee—” “He’ll stop you!” Sally wailed despairingly. “He’ll make us both stay—’ “Nothing can stop me,” he promised her grimly. "And he’ll give me my money, too, if I have to take it away from him. But I’ll be all

right. Now run, and for heaven’s sake, darling, don’t let these ‘rubes’ see you crying. Smile for David,” he coaxed, tilting her chin with a forefinger. When her lips wavered uncertainly, he bent swiftly and kissed her. “Poor little sweetheart! There’s nothing to be afraid of. Gus will see that the ‘schiller,-.’ give us plenty of time, even if he has to call in a real cop and have Mrs. Stone arrested on a fake charge. Now, walk to the dress tent, and I’ll be there before you’re ready.” When Sally reached the dress tent she found “Pitty Sing” perched on her bed, her tiny fingers busy counting a sheaf of bills that was almost as large as her miniature head. “Gus brought me,” she piped in her matter-of-fact, precise little voice. “Get to your packing, Sally, while I’m talking. But you might kiss me first, if you don’t mind. I don’t usually like for people to kiss me. No v.ait until you get your make-up off,” she changed her mind as she saw tears well In Sally’s hunted blue eyes. “This money is for you and David. He’s going with you, of course?” “Yes,” Sally acknowledged proudly, as her fingers dug deep into a can of theatrical cold cream. “But we won’t need the money, Betty. Please—” “Don’t be silly!” little Miss Tanner admonished her severely. “Gus sent the word around the tei.t and everybody chipped in. Jan cleaned the boys at poker last night and he contributed S2O. I think there’s nearly a hundred altogether. Gus gave S2O, and Boffo—” “Oh, I can't take It!” Sally protested. “It’s sweet of you all, but I’d feel awful —” “Shut up and get busy!” “Pitty Sing” commanded tersely. “I’d wear that dark-blue taffeta if I were you, and the blue felt you bought in Williamstown. It won’t show up at all in the dark. Lucky for you it’s night, isn’t it? It will be nice to be married in, too—” Married?” Sally whirled from her open trunk, her cold-cream cleansed face blank with astonishment. From outside the tent came a whistled bar of music—“l’ll be loving you always!” “That's David!” Sally gasped, a blush running swiftly from her throat to the roots of her soft black hair. “I’ll have to hurry. I—l think I will wear the blue taffeta!" “Ptty Sing” chuckled softly, but there were tears in the old, but little blue eyes set so incongruously in a tiny, wizened face no bigger than a baby's.
