“GOOD GIRLI” SYNOPSIS.—GeneraI factotum In the house of her rlster Ina, wife of Herbei t Deacon, tn the small town of Warbleton, Lulu Bett leads a dull, cramped existence, with which she ie constantly at enmity, though • apparently satisfied with her lot. Bobby Larkin, recently graduated high-school youth, is secretly enamored of Deacon’s elder daughter, Diana. The family Is excited over the news of an approaching visit from Deacon's brother Ninian, whom he had not seen for many years. Unexpectedly, Ninian arrives. Thus he becomes acquainted with Lulu first and understands he» position In the house. To Lulu, Ninian is a much-traveled man of the world, and even the slight interest which he takes In her Is appreciated, because it is something new in her life. At an outing which the family takes, Ninian and Lulu become confidential. He expresses his disapproval of her treatment as a sort of dependent In the Deacon home. Diana and Bobby, In the course of “soft nothings,” discuss the possibility of eloping and "surprising the whole school.” Lulu has awakened to pleasant possibilities concerning Ninian’s intentions toward herself. Ninian takes the family for a “good time” in the adjacent city. At supper, after the theater, ae part of a joke Lulu repeats the words of the civil marriage ceremony, with Ninian. Herbert remembers that a civil wedding is binding in the state, and inasmuch as he Is a magistrate, Ninian and Lulu are legally married. IV—Continued. Ina inexplicably began touching away tears. “Oh," she said, "what will mamma say?” Lulu hardly heard her. Mrs. Bett was Incalculably distant. “You sure?” Lulu said low to Ninian. For the first time, something In her exceeding Isolation really touched him. “Say,” he said, “you come on with me. We’ll have It done over again somewhere. If you say so." “Oh,” said Lula, “if I thought—” He leaned and patted her hand. “Good girl." he said. They -sat silent, Ninian padding on the cloth w‘lth the flat of his plump hands. Dwight returned. "It’s a go all right." he said. He sat down. laughed weakly, rubbed at his face. “You two are tied as tight as the church could tie you.” “Good enough.” said Ninian. “Eh. Lulu?" “It's —it's all right, I guess,” Lulu said. “Well, I II be dished." said Dwight. “Sister!" said Ina. Ninian meditated, his lips set tight and high. It Is Impossible to trace the processes of this man. Perhaps they were all compact of the devil-may-care attitude engendered in any persistent traveler. Perhaps the incomparable cookery of Lulu played Its part. “I was going to make a trip south this month,” he said, "on my way home from here. Suppose we get married again by somebody or other, and start right off. You'd like that, wouldn’t you—going south. “Yes," said Lulu only. “It’s July,” said Ina, with her sense of fitness, but no one heard. It was arranged that their trunks should follow them—lna would see to that, though she was scandalized that they were not first to return to Warbleton for the blessing of Mrs. Bett. “Mamma won’t mind,” said Lulu. “Mamma can’t stand a fuss any more." They left the table. The men ard women still sitting at the other tables saw nothing unusual about these four, Indifferently dressed, indifferently conditioned. The hotel orchestra, playing ragtime in deafening concord, made Lulu’s wedding march. **««•«• It was still early next day—a hot Sunday — when Ina and Dwight reached home. Mrs. Bett was standing on the porch. “Where’s Lulle?” asked Mrs. Bett. Thej’ told. Mrs. Bett took It In, a bit at a time. Her pale eyes searched their faces, she shook her head, heard it again, grasped It. Her first question was: “Who’s going to do your work?” Ina bad thought of that, and this was manifest. “Oh,” she said, “you and I'll have to manage.” Mrs. Bett meditated, frowning. “I left the bacon for her to cook for your breakfasts,” she said. “I can’t cook bacon fit to eat. Neither can you.” “We’ve had dur breakfasts,” Ina escaped from this dilemma. “Had it up in the city, on expense?” “Well, we didn’t have much.” In Mrs. Bett’s eyes tears gathered, but they were not for Lulu. “I should think," she said, “I should think Lulle might have had a little more gratitude to her than this.” On their way to church Tna and Dwight encountered Di, who had left the house some time earlier, stepping sedately to church in company with Bobby Larkin. DI was in white, and her face was the face of an angel, so young, so questioning, so utterly devoid of her sophistication. “That child," said Ina, “must not see so much of that Larkin boy. She’s just a little, little girl.” “Os course she mustn’t,” said Dwight sharply, “and If I was her mother—” “Oh, stop that 1” said Ina, sotto jroce, at the church stena.

To every one with whom they spoke In the aisle after church, Ina announced their news: Had they heard? Lulu married Dwight’s brother Ninian In the city yesterday. Oh, sudden, yes! And romantic . . . spoken with that upward Inflection to which Ina was a prey. V August. Mrs. Bett had been having a “tantrim," brought on by nothing definable. Abruptly as she and Ina were getting supper, Mrs. Bett had fallen silent, had In fact refused to reply when addressed. When all was ready and Dwlglit was entering, hair wetly brushed, she had withdrawn from the room and closed her bedroom door until It echoed. “She’s got one again,” said Ina, grieving. “Dwight, you go." He went, showing no sign of annoyance, and stood outside bis mother-in-law's door and knocked. No answer. "Mother, come and have some supper.” No answer. "Looks to me like your muffins was Just about the best ever.” No answer. “Come on—l had something funny to tell you and Ina.” He retreated, knowing nothing of the admirable control exercised by this woman for her own passionate satisfaction In sending him away unsatisfied. He showed nothing but anxious concern, touched with regret, nt his failure. Ina, too, returned from that door discomfited. Dwight made a gallant effort to retrieve the fallen fortunes of their evening meal, and turned upon Di. who had Just entered, and with exceeding facetiousness Inquired how Bobby was. DI looked hunted. She could never tell whether her parents were going to tease her about Bobbv, or rebuke zV ! jt 'VI m I i! , r- 1 if G WF To Every One With Whom They Spoke in the Aisle After Church Ina Announced Their News. her for being seen with him. It depended on mood, and this mood Di had not the experience to gauge. She now groped for some neutral fact, and mentioned that he was going to take her and Jenny for Ice cream that night. Ina's irritation found just expression in her office of motherhood. “I won’t have you downtown in the evening,” she said. “But you let me go last night.” “All the better reason why you should not go tonight.” “I tell you,” cried Dwight. “Why not all walk down? Why not all have ice cream . . .” He was all gentleness and propitiation, the reconciling element in his home. “Me. too?” Monona’s ardent hope, her terrible fear were in her eyebrows, her parted lips. “You, too, certainly.” Dwight could not do enough for every one. Monona clapped her hands. “Goody ! goody! Last time you wouldn't let me go.” “That's why papa’s going to taka you this time,” Ina said. These ethical balances having been nicely struck, Ina proposed another:

HOW PYGMIES GET THEIR BANANAS

Mark Green Bunch With Arrows, Take it When Ripe and Leave Meat in Payment. The pygmies in Central Africa take up their abode near the village of a big chief where banana plantations abound, from which they may glean when they please. They have two methods of doing this. One is as follows : A pigmy will mark out a bunch of bananas in a plantation by shooting an arrow Into the stalk. The arrow signifies that the pygmy desires that particular bunch when it is sufficiently ripe. The owner of the plantation stands in such fear of the pygmy’s

“But,” she said, “but, you must Mrt more supper or you cannot go.” “I don’t want any more." Monona’s look was honest and piteous. “Makes no difference. You must eat or you’ll get sick." “No!" “Very well, then. No Ice cream soda for such a little girl.” Monona began to cry ouletly. But she passed her plate. She ate, chewing high, and slowly. “See? She can eat If she will eat,” Tna said to Dwight. “The only trouble is, she will not take the time.” “She don't put her mind on her meals," Dwight Herbert diagnosed It. "Oh, bigger bites than that!” he encouraged his little daughter. Dl’s mind had been proceeding along its own paths. “Are you going to take Jenny and Bobby too?” she Inquired. “Certainly. The whole party.” “Bobby’ll want to pay for Jenny and I.” “Me, darling,” said Ina patiently, punctiliously—and less punctiliously added: "Nonsense. This Is going to be papa’s little party.” “But we had the engagement with Bobby. It was an engagement.” “Well." said Ina, “I think we’ll Just set that aside —that Important engagement. I think we just will." “Papa ! Boby’ll want to be the one to pay for Jenny and I —” “DI!” Ina’s voice dominated all. “Will you be more careful of your grammar or shall I speak to you again?” “Well. I’d rather use bad grammar than—than —than—” she looked resentfully at her mother, her father. T’helr moral defection was evident to her, but It was indefinable. They told her that she ought to be ashamed when papa wanted to give them all a treat. She sat silent, frowning, putupon. “Look, mamma!” cried Monona, swallowing a third of an egg at one Impulse. Ina saw only the empty i plate. “Mamma's nice little girl!" cried ‘ she, shining upon her child. The rules of the ordinary sports of the playground, scrupulousl.v applied, would have clarified the ethical atmosphere of this little family. But there was no one to apply them. When Di and Mnnona had been excused. Dwight asked: "Nothing new from the bride and groom?” "No. And, Dwight, It's been a week j since the last.” “See —where are they then?” He knew perfectly well that they were In Savannah, Georgia, but Ina played his game, told him, and retold I bits that the letter had said. “I don’t understand,” she added, “why they should go straight to Ore- ’ gon without coming here first." Dwight hazarded that Nin probably had to get back, and shone pleasantly in the reflected importance of a brother filled with affairs. "I don’t know what to make of Lulu's letters,” Ina proceeded. "They’re “You haven’t had but two, have you?” “That's all—well, of course it's only been a month. But both letters have been so—" Ina was never really articulate. Whatever comer of her brain had the । blood In It at the moment seemed to be operative, and she let the matter go at that. “I don't think It's fair to mamma—going off that way. Leaving her own ■ mother. Why. she may never see ' mamma again—” Ina's breath caught. Into her face came something of the lovely tenderness with which she sometimes looked at Monona and Di. I She sprang up. She had forgotten to put some supper to warm for , mamma. The lovely light was still l in her face as she bustled about . against the time of mamma's recovery : from her tantrim. Dwight’s face was like tliis when he spoke of his foster- ' mother. In both these beings there I was something which functioned as I pure love. Mamma had recovered and was eating cold scrambled eggs on the corner of the kitchen table when the ice cream soda party was ready to set out. Dwight threw her a casual “Better come, too, Mother Bett,” but she shook her bead. She wished to go, wished it with violence, but she contrived to give to her arbitrary refusal a quality of contempt. When Jenny arrived with Bobby, she had brought a sheaf of gladioli for Mrs. Bett, and took them to her in the kitchen, and ns she laid the flowers beside her, the young girl stopped and kissed her. “You little darling!” cried Mrs. Bett, and clung to her, her lifted eyes lit by something intense and living. But when the ice cream party had set off at last, Mrs. Bett left her supper, gathered up the flowers, and crossed the lawn to the old cripple, Grandma Gates. “Inie sha'n't have ’em,” the old woman thought. And then It was quite beautiful to watch her with Grandma Gates, j whom she tended and petted, to ; whose complainings she listened, and to whom she tried to tell the small events of her day. When her neighbor had gone. Grandma Gates said that it was as good as a dose of medicine to have her come in. “You see,” said Lulu, “he had another wife.” (TO UE CONTINUED.I

vengeance that he never dreams of removing the fruit or the arrow, but leaves both to be claimed by the aweinspiring dwarf. By the other method, the pygmy buys the bananas, he fixing the price and paying for it In that which his fiat makes currency. On returning home from a day’s hunting, with several pieces of meat wrapped in grass or leaves, he goes to a plantation, selects several bunches of bananas, shins up th® tree, cuts off the bunches, and in -payment, affixes one of the small packets of meat to the stem by a wooden skewer. He has not, in hhi view, stolen the bananas —he has bought them!

FROM 94 POUNDS SHEGOESTOI32 Mrs. Grass Praises Tanlac for Overcoming Stomach Trouble —Says Results Are Priceless. “Before I took Tanlac I only weighed ninety-four pounds and scarcely had strength to sweep the floor; but now I weigh one hundred and thirty-two and am as healthy and happy as can be.” This remarkable statement was made, recently, by Mrs. r Mabel Gross, 1137 Aldrich St., N., Minneapolis, Minn. “For nearly two years I had been In a seriously weakened condition and suffered nearly all the time from headache and backache. My nerves were beyond my control and I was terribly dizzy. I couldn’t half sleep and my stomac». was so out of order that even the sight of food nauseated me. “The benefits I have received from Tanlac are priceless.
