Grandma Durpanks bad a little grandson, six vears old, and that ht- tle grandson and 5 cents’ worth of raw peanuts brought about a case of | the colic, a thunder-storm, a misun- derstanding, a case of love and a very happy marriage. When all was over the old lady thought she had done very well for a woman of her age. It was the grandson that bought SICKN DON'T CHUM T0 BE HAPPY KEEP WELL USE ONLY DR.

Mr.-and Mrs. Burbanks were away for the night; . Harry, the son, twenty-three years old, was in town and not expected out until the midnight train; the | grandson was asleep, and the house was in charge of Miss Dorothy, aged nineteen.

After Miss Dorothy had worked away for half an hour she decided | that the doctor must be sent for. “Is that Dr. Holmes?" she asked when she telephoned in to the vil- lage, three miles away. “The doctor is out and not expect- ed back until after midnight,” was the reply. Dr. Winchell was tried. He was also out. The druggist thought he could put up something for that colic, but he had no boy to send. Grandma groaned out with every breath that that breath was the last she expected to draw in this world.

WVEHY - s v vy e N PO S 2.20 Miss Dorothy was so rattled that | she didn't notice the thunderstorm coming up until she had driven a mile or more. Then a flash and areverbera. tion and a few drops showed her that she was in for a time. Five minutes later and the pony refused to face the storm. When held up to it he wheeled and started for home on a gallop, and did not pause until he had brought up under a shed. The girl ran for the house to discover that she was locked out. A springlock and her mislaid key had donme it. She tried window after window in vain. It was no use to call to a deaf woman in her bed upstairs, or hope to awaken the boy whose peanuts had brought the trouble about. The girl was cow- ering on the veranda, dodging the flashes and scolding herself and all others, when the lightning showed her the figure of a man with a bag in bhis hand coming up the walk. He looked long and lank, and he dripped gallons of water. The stranger was after shelter. He did not ring the bell, but got what shelter the veranda afforded and did not: even look around him.

It is only for emphasis. Instead of being shocked, Miss Dor- othy walted to hear: “No hurry to start out tonight, and yet you were blank fool enough tc think it would be a romantic walk: Well, you've got the romance of it! Soaked from head to heel and more coming!” Miss Dorothy liked the voice. She liked to realize that she wasn't the only fool to start out in the face ot the storm. She liked it when the stranger gave himself a shake like a collle dog after a swim, and mum bled: “Call yourself a doctor and yet run W.P. PILLANS & CO.

Grandma was having a hud} time of it. Indeed, it was hours be- | fore she was easier, and the two g worked over her now and then, and |§ a now and then had opportunity to taik. A doctor with his first patient, and a girl with a grandmother suffering trom | ¥ to many raw peanuts, don’t have to % stand on ice-cold formality. When Harry reached the house from the midnigkt train he almost made up his mind that they wero|$ quite chummy. He didn’t do any criti- | & cizing, however. He loved his grand- |$ mother, was happy her life had been saved, and he wasn’'t the kind of brother to offer his advice simply be- cause he had a sister. The only thing he did say was after breakfast, and that was partly to himself: “The ways of Providence are past finding out. Those peanuts and that thunderstorm may bring me a brcther- in-law,” “You need some one to get you home earlier,” was the reply; and matters rested there. Grandma heard all about the storm and the providential appearance of Dr. Burnett, and when he called the next afternoon to see if she had fully recovered she was very gratetul.

We can't get one through Harry, but we can through Dorothy. I wish you would have a talk with her today.” Just what the son and his wife thought, and just how the blushing girl got out of the room without fall ing over the rugs is not recorded, but this much the historian knows—the doctor bent forward at just the right instant to teel grandma's pulse and to warn her that at her age a person shouldn't swallow too many wooden toothpicks nor eat too many raw tare nips just before going to bed. e didn't look over-red nor over-pale when he lett the house, hall ar hour! later.

After saying that she expected tho next attack of colic to carry her off she said: “That is, unless we have a doctor in the family.” “He—he asked me today if the fam fly would take him in!” was the whis- pered reply from behind her chair. “And you said the family would— and we will—and oh, dear me, I al- most wish I had the colic again and was hearing the angels strumming on thelr barps!” Job Printing e O\\'ING to the enlargement of our newspaper and publishing business, it has been necessary to move The News Job Office up-stairs where it will be found in Rooms 11 and 12, Kentucky Building, in the com- For anything that can be printed, if you want petent charge of Mr. G.
