IT WAS no mere hat, Stephanie Travig reflected as she stood before the window of Chez Marie and considered it; It was i spring pong, a poem. ' ' About it were subtle hints of vlo lets, primroses and all the bldesoms of spring. It was young and wistful. She walked slowly Into the t^hez Marie. Dickie would be furious If she bought another hat But this hat! The saleswoman, suave in black velvet, was upon her. • "The hat In the window, please," Stephanie indicated. The hat was pressed down over the soft gold waves of her hair, it belonged. It was perfect She niust have it "How fiiuch Is the hatf* she asked. "Only thirty dollars." Only thirty dollars! Stephanie seldom paid over live dollars for ft hat "I'll decide later," she told the saleswoman. She dawdled along the street. April was In the air. There were daffodils in the shop along the sidewalk, and Stephanie bought a handful. They centered the table that night as she served dinner to Dick. Yellow candles shed their pale light over the golden blossoms. The dinner was of extraordinary goodness. "When you want to, you sling a mean frying pan," Dick told her at the close of the meal, as he leaned back comfortably to light a cigarette. Dick was a man of few words, bui those he spoke came straight from hi^ heart. Stephanie was visibly cheered, and she sang as she cleared the table and scrubbed the dishes. Later, perfumed and smiling, she slipped down .beside Dick on the davenport and rested her head on his shoulder. He was utterly at peace uutil-- "Dickie, I saw the sweetest hat today--" "I might have known it!" he thundered. "Whenever you are half way decent there's something in the wind." Stephanie implored and begged. She even resorted to tears, which had proved infallible in the past They were idle tears, she found. 'Tm tired of spending all our money on a cheap apartment, theaters and crazy clothes.' he told her at last. "I'm going to change It."' Stephanie didn't worry about the change. He would forget It But two weeks later he sprung his bombshell. "I bought a house today," he informed her. "Bought a house!" she gasped weakly, "with what?" v ' , . "On ti^je--like we bought the furniture." / - y "Where is it? And why didn't you take me with you?" "Out Maplewood way. I knew you'd . crab It." | Stephanie did her best to crab lt.^ She wasn't going to 11 vie out in the? sticks, away from everything and everybody. She stormed and cried. Dick listened. "Take it or leave it," he ad-?f '* vised. Stephanie took It. There was nothing else for her to do. She wailed over her packing and the moving. She, deplored every point of the littlehouse. She complained constantly of her work, her loneliness. She lauglie<| at Dick's enthusiasm over big strawy berry bed, his four hens and hUl gar- * dening attempts. * * \ It was a March day, the first ou which it seemed possible that spring: might not be only a happy memory, Stephanie, with an old green sweater pulled about her, walked about the little back yarck She stopped under a tree. There, half-hidden by some rot* ten brown leaves, was a tiny point of green. Stephanie knelt down and pulled away the leaves. It was a crocus ! There was the papery white tip through which the blossom would push. She looked about eagerly, and felt like a Magellan when she found several others. She didn't tell Dick. Life began to assume the nspectii of an adventure. Sometimes It was hard to wait until Dick had gone before going out to see if a snowdrop was out or If that purple and \vhite„ striped crocus was full blown. April flew by like the wind. It was a May afternoon when Stephanie was raking away the last leaf and broken stalk of last year's flowers from her little garden. She paused before a bed that was her especial pride. It was bright with primroses, violas, engllsh daisies and violets. It made her think of last spring, and the-- "Pardon me," a voice broke in on her musing. She looked np. Leaning over the alley fence was a rather fat, redcheeked woman. She was obviously of the servant clasi. "Pardon me," the woman repeated. "Do you need a cook?" "Walt a minute," Stephanie told her. She ran Into the house and came out a mlsute later, two dollar bills in her hand. "I don't need a cook but I'll give you both of these," she told the other, "for your hat" ^ t "Well --all right." Th* Woautn seemed surprised. With a free gesture she pulled the jhat off and handed It over the fence. Stephanie gave her the money, and watched her walk away bareheaded, smiling. Then, with a laugh Stephanie examined the faded, shabby remains of the flower garden hat , • She got It after ill! v...

THOMAS ARKLS CLARK D*m ml mm. OalwiMr •« IHhnlr PACING IT I mfe never been quite able to dlvorce personality from accomplishment The character of an author has always influenced my att i t u d e t o w a r d what he has written. Poe's poetry, for instance, mellifluous as it is, always carries with it in the bac kground of my mind a sugsr est Ion of the weakness of Poe's character. On the other hand I have always had for Mark Twain the greatest admiration and respect, and when I say this I mean an admiration antg a respect not only for what he wrote bat for what he was. He was past middle- age when he faced financial disaster, and saw the fortune, which It had taken a lifetime to accumulate, vftped out Fifty thousand dollars--and the debt was more than that--was, when financial failure faced Mr. Clemens, several times as» great a sum as It would be today, but he faced the situation courageously. When most men are through with the strenuous struggle of life, he began again. He wrote some of the best things he had ever written; he paid the heavy debt which legally he was under no obligation td pay, and, more than that he got himself financially upon his feet more solidly than he had ever been before. Many a man in his case would have turned bis back upon such a disaster and never again have made a struggle. . Joseph. Conrad, in the "Typhoon," describes in a most vivid and dramatic way the fury of an ocean storm. It seems instant death to go on, but the captain knows otherwise. "Keep her facing It," he shouted to the mate. "Don't you be put out by anything! Keep her facing it They may say what they like, but the heaviest seas run with the wind. Facing It --always facing it--that's the way to get through. You are a young sailor. Face It! That's enough for any man. Keep a cool head--and face It!" It is the only way to meet the storms of life.

WILLIAM EMFEY Strange, but true, Konjola, the new and different medicine, seems at the very peak of its powers when pitted against the stubborn ills that have held on for years. Consider the case of Mrs. William Empey, 1801 North Adams street, Peoria, who declares: "I had a severe case of kidney and bladder trouble for six years, and constipation added to my misery. I had, to get up often at night, and I became very nervous. 1 was tired and worn out all the time. I spent much money seeking relief, but found none. I read about Konjola and decided to try it. As a result I feel better than for a long time. I sleep better and am not nearly so nervous, am thankful for what Konjola did for me, and I recommend it to one and all who suffer as I did." Konjola is a medicine for young and old; for all the family. That is why Konjola is a household word wherever this amazing medicine is known. Konjola is sold in McHenry, 111., at Thomas P. Bolger's drug store, and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section. , ---- ---- Only One Remedy Neither drugs nor charms nor burnings will touch a deep-tying political sore any more than a bodily one; but only right and utter change of constitution.--Plato.
