TBS HOKX or riVOL To Old People If the people of this town only knew the good Vlnol does old people, we could not get enough to supply the demand. With old age comes feebleness and loss of power, lack of strength and vigor. To prove our belief that Vinol is the greatest strengthener, body builder, and invigorator for old folks, we say to all—try it, and if you are not satisfied we will return your money. J. A.

THE ADVERTISING THAT PAYS.

Concerning newspaper advertising E. A. Ford, passenger traffic manager of the Pennsylvania Railroad company, made this statement Rt the meeting of passenger men in Cincinnati the other day: “I am h strong believer in advertising, and especially in the newspapers, I believe that better results are secured by having reading notices in the newspapers than by any other method of advertisement. I have made a study of this question, and I can say that the Pennsylvania railroad spends a largfe sum each year in newspaper advertisements, and we find it the most profitable' of any method adopted.” * Mr. Ford's opinion of the value of newspaper advertising is held by the most discreet and successful men in every sort of business which depends upon public patronage. The unsightly billboard usually is taken seriously only in that it is regarded as a public nuisance. The street car placard is read more often for amusement than for information. The circular letter generally finds its way unread into the wastebasket. But everybody reads newspapers, and they are scanned as eagerly for business announcements as for the current news of the world.

Apple Blossoms And November

By VIRGINIA LEILA WENTZ

“I am not bard hearted, you know, but I must pay my bills when they fall due.” Tbe stout landlady compressed her lips, as though she had said a thing which it hurt her to utter. “I understand, indeed,” the girl replied passively, pushing back her heavy, gleaming hair with a little gesture of weariness. ‘‘Of course, tomorrow bein' Thanksgivln’ day, you needn’t disturb yourself, but make yourself comfortable tiUFriday.” She looked at the blank door, which closed quietly behind the girl; then her eyes returned to tbe columns of her account book. They were opened at a page headed “Miss Bose Darcey,” a page where the debits considerably overbalanced the credits. “I’ve too good a heart to be a successful business woman,” murmured the landlady, closing the book. Twilight was fast coming on. Upstairs in the fourth floor back there was a firs in the grate—bright yellow and scarlet flames, burning in a ceaseless endeavor to destroy an asbestus log. Rose Darcey slipped down on the floor and, with her arms folded about her knees, watched the Are, thinking how typical It was of theUife she had been leading for the past year. Why, everything—even her hearth Are —was artificial! She fell to dreaming. It was seldom she bad time to dream, for she was always busy trying to make both ends meet. But now, since they simply would not meet, she might as well dream for a tiny space. How tired she sms of it all—of the struggles, the petty ambitions, the give and take friendships, the endless cold shoulders, the eternal worry! And tomorrow would be Thanksgiving day! How well she remembered that day in other years! In ber aunt’s humble little farmhouse there had ever been the entrancing odor of pumpkin and mince pies, of stewed cranberries, of browning turkey, of plum pudding, of good things innu-

merable. Not this year, though, for she had robbed them of all that. Oh, it was hard, hard, hard! A rap at the door, and Patty Lou, the colored girl, entered. “A gem’man In the parlor to see you, missy; wouldn’t send his name, allowin’ he wanted to s’prlse you, I reckon.” Down In the narrow, gaudy room a man with a gray mustache and a shaggy coat sat on the sofa alone. As he looked unseelngly about him the stern lines In his mouth relaxed. In their stead came an expression of extreme gentleness. All his years of waiting harked back to him. He seemed to see as In a glass a tiny girl in a gingham apron standing under an apple tree, and then she seemed to grow and grow, but always she had sunshine In her hair and a smile in her eyes. He had waited for her to attain to womanhood, dreaming dreams the villagers had never guessed. And then, because she had talent for art, forsooth, and her aunts Jiad

Said it must be cultivated, even though it meant a third mortgage on their little farm, she had passed' out of his life. Lately, however, John Lowell had caught a rumor that things were not going well with her In tbe mad, competitive life of New York, and so be was here. How thin and white she had grown! As she pushed aside the cheap Bagdad portieres she seemed to be all gleaming hair and great, pathetic eyes. If he could only hold her proud little face between both palms ahd kiss her dear, tired eyes! Instead (he knew her temperament so well) he talked about the home village, about the queer poky little streets and the dull village gossip. “Is the apple crop good this year?” she asked suddenly. “Have you ground a lot of cider?” For answer he dived Into one of the pockets of his shaggy gray coat and fetched up a shining red apple. “Thanks. It’s a beauty!” exclaimed she, feeling of its smoothness. “Came off your tree, Bose.” “My tree?” “Yes; the Immense one In the corner. Don’t you remember? I’ve called it your tree ever since—since one day when you. were very little and you wanted some blossoms.” “I suppose you got them for me If I wanted them?" said the girl softly. How good he had always been to her! He was Just like that shaggy coat of his—big and rough and wholesome and worth while. Last night she had dreamed shat her head lay on that same shaggy coat, that his strong arms were about her, while she was relating to him all the discouragements of her metropolitan experience, and each time that she had lifted her head to emphasize some point or other—how good It had been to get back to the coat afterward—in the dream, of course! “You see, the blossoms were out of your reach,” he went on, “and I happened to be coming along, so you said If >Td get you the flowers you’d be my”— “What?” “Sweetheart.” The word was very tenderly uttered. The tenderness made her tremble somehow, but she laughed gayiy“Your sweetheart? Rash promise, wasn’t It?” “And when I lifted you up,” he continued, “you put your arm about my neck”— “How shockingly Improper!” “And from that moment,” he pwsued gravely, “I’ve never thought of ’ anybody else for—for a wife, Rose.” “How long ago was that?” she asked whimsically. “Twelve last blossom time.” “Then I must have been only nine years old.” “I wonder, dear, if It would be right to hold a girl to a promise she made when she was only nine?” , From beneath hex long lashes she caught the wrapt expression on his face as he leaned toward her, and she quivered with a sense of sudden protection.' “I—wonder?” Her voice trailed off vaguely as she watched a lighted cable car go by, but he caught her to him gladly, with a new air of protection. A few moment! I.* ter from the great, shaggy coat came a tearfully muffled but happy cry: “Oh, John. It’s just like it was in the dream—just like It was in the dream!” To John Lowell the words In themselves were a bit Irrelevant, but what did a man like h'.iu care for words when he held In his arms the tiling be prized most In the world?

“Now, children,’’ said a teacher, “I want you to be very still, so that you can hear a pin drop.” In an Instant all was silent After a moment of impatient waiting a little boy In the rear of the room called out: “Let her drop, teacher!”—Youth.
