I have been three long, mlsetable, days at Athena's. "You know, dear girl, you are welcome to stay here for the rest of your life as far as I'm concerned." she said this morning. "But I cant see you going about looking like the ghOBt of Little Eva and making yourself sick with useless worry. You can't work you can't forget, you can't play. Life's too short and matrimony too long to fill It with the luxury of pride. I've called Jim up three times, but you know he won't explain anything to me. dear. He keeps repeating that unless you speak to him things must remain , at this wretched deadlock." "He knows perfectly well," I told her for the tenth time, "that In sheer decency the explanation the first

move must come from him. His ob

stinacy is insufferable, Athena. You know it is." "Yes it is. But in married life so

many thines can be lnsuffearble, if

we let them. Oh, don't think I am

preaching, Ann. But when it comes right down to brass tacks, marriage is exactly like any other job. We've either got to keep It or chuck it. If we keep it, we've got to tackle the

knots as they come along and smooth them out. If we don't, we might as well chuck it. Are you sure you're ready to chuck it, Ann?" "Almost sure," I answered slowly. "You know, dear," 6he persisted, "there's hardly a person with any real capacity for suffering who has not at one time or another been on the

verge of suicide. And there's hardly a marriage thot In some stage hasn't been at the point of going to pieces. The would-be suicide is afraid, perhaps, or hasn't the means of destruction at hand, so he waits a little. And the crisis passes. He is saved and never agajn gets down quite so far. Same way with marriage. The wife doesn't go home to mother because mother's away. Or perhaps the deserting husband runs across an old letter of his wife's. Or a friend of the family comes in and husband and wife are forced to entertain him Then the quarrel gets too stale to renew Itself, and the situation is saved! "The point I'm making it," pursued

my dear, wise old friend, taking me by the shoulders, "that any marriage has the possibility of both tragedy and comedy in it Leave Jim, and yon rid yourself of one tragedy only, to

suffer from loneliness and regret, which is also a bad combination to live with. Marry some other man and you're apt to get a worse one." "Well, what's the answer?" I smiled wanly, for my brain has become an absolute nonconductor of thought. I'm even through with tears. I'm all cried out. I feel numb and blind and helpless and miserable. "The answer," said Athena briskly, "Is as follows." She stepped firmly to the telephone, called Jim's office number, and in a perfect imitation of my voice and manner said to the switchboard operator: "Good morning. Miss Mollie. Is

Jim er Mr. Salsberry In his office?

Yes, please, I'd like to speak to him."

For three minutes I listened to "my

self talking with my husband .through Athena's lips.

" and you expect me to believe

that?" said "I" finally.

A few more phrases passed, then Athena hung up the receiver and

calmly came back to her chair. "What did he say?" I gasped. "Oh!" Athena looked at me cool ly. "Are you interested, dear?" (To be continued.)

I New Remedy Dreco Was Prompt in Action and Pleasant in Effects Recommends it Strongly. There Is probably no other medicine of its kind has won the praise that Dreco has during the past few months right here in this section. Men and women who have given themselves up as incurable are coming forward with remarkable signed statements telling what Dreco has accomplished for them after almost everything else had failed. "Every morning now I wish my

alarm clock would postpone ringing a couple of hours," said Mr. C. A. Rhodehamel, Richmond, Ind. "I enjoy my sleep now whereas be fore I'd roll and toss all' night long and be worn out next morning. 1 was afraid I was about to be laid on the shelf for my work seemed to drag cn me. After meals I'd have a full

feeling, oftti with nausea and gas

tritis. I'd frequently get very dizzy and had aching pains in my back directly over my kidneys. I was bilious all the time and had severe headaches. "Since taking a treatment of Dreco I'm like another person for all these troubles are gone: haven't had one dizzy spell; pains in my back all gone and I eat hearty and never fear the after effects as before. Dreco is a grand medicine and I strongly recommend It." The old-fashioned remedies, made from roots and herbs, are the best for anyone to take. Dreco Is made from twelve different Roots, herbs, barks and leaves. These act on the stomach, bowels and kidneys and purify the blood. Dreco knocks rheumatism out shortly; relieves catarrh of the head and stomach; makes you sleep soundly and creates a e;ood appetite As a blood purifier nothing can equal Dreco. It puts a stop to boils, eczema and other blood affections. Mr. Powers, the well known Dreco expert, has headquarters at Thistlethwaite'S Drug Store, to meet the local public and explain the merits of tbJ
