NORWICH BULLETIN, SA 3 TURDAY, MAY 31, 1913 [ BELLS WERE TOLLED AT WESTERLY Veterans Stood With Bared Heads as Flags Were Half Masted at Noon Hour—An Impressive Innovation Featured This Year’s Observance of Memorial Day—Westerly High School Loses to Kingston College Freshmen. All plans for the observance of Me- morial day in Westerly were carried out successfully. During the morning many people journeyed to the River Bend cemetery to decorate the graves of dear ones. There was such heavy traffic that the P. V. Street railway was obilged to run cars half-hourly, instead of the regular schedule. At 12 o'clock noon many bells were tolleq and flegs on the public builing were raised at half mast while the war veterans who had assembled in front of the Memorial bullding stood with uncovered heads. This ceremony which has been instituted this vear, was to the spectators very impres- sive, At 130 o'clock the line formed at IN NORWICH The Evidence Is Supplied by Local Testimony. If the reader wants stronger proof than the following statement and ex- perience of a resident of Norwich, what can it be? Fugene Sweet, Norwich, Conn., says: “About twelve years ago I learned of the value of Doan's Kidney Pills. At that time I was confined to my bed as the result of an attack of lumbago. I suffe-:d from sharp pains across my loin: and was greatly annoved by too frequent passages of the kidney secre- tions. I conmsalted tha best doctors in Providence, but their treatment failed to help me in the least. I finally read about Doan’s Kidney Plils, and as I was badly in need of something thal would help me, I began using them Improvement was soon noticeable and I continued taking this remedy until my trouble disappeared.

Bob was serious young fellow, who was con- tent to be with her without talking much and she knew it. Jennie's coat was shabby, her toque old-fashioned, her gloves sewed up at the tips and her small shoes rubbed at the toes in a manner no blacking could conceal, but all this was for- zotten in her pleasure at being alive and with Bob. ST She was going to marry him ju as soon as she had earned a little more money leaching and he had fin- ished saving up the $300 which it was in house- necessary to set them up keeping. That would be next fall sometime. : “I believe the buds are starting she declared, peering up at the map- les which loomed over them. Bob shook his head “I guess it takes more than we've had to start the buds, sunshine > he vou glad it's spring? frantic. to see some demanded aren’t vou ju grass and violets?” v “Bob, Aren’t green Jennie. He smiled. “Ill be glad to see this mud drie up,” he said. He was watching a hig blue automobile as it labored panting down the unpaved street. Jennie turned her eves also to auto. On the second seat sat a girl of her own age, swathed in furs. Be- side her was a small. dark man who looked eagerly into her face and ges- ticulating in an cdd, foreign way as he talked. They were past in the space of half a moment, but even that atom of time the was enough to cast its shadow over Jennie’s day. “What a_magnificent car,” Bob ex- claimed. “There’s a fortune tied up in_it—at least what would mean a fortune to poor folks like vou and me. “I know it,” Jennie said. “Did you see her furs? They say they cost §500. There's another fortune just in them. “That was her fiance with her, was- it ¥ Bob asked. . “Yes, the count. I can't pronounce his name. He is going to take her abroad to his castle after they are married next month.” 3 She will have a big wedding, won't she “T should say so—six bridesmaids and a maid of honor, and all the dresses imported.” Jemnie caught her breath as she related these current detalls of the great event. “Maybe she won't be any happier for all that.” Bob said. “Oh, Bob. Just think of what it means to have all and more than yoi can wish for. Just think what it would mean to us If we could be mar- ried this spring instead of next fall and start in free from debt and wor- o She looked at him. She seemed suddenly to have become plain and shabby, almost undesirable. Jennie's heart sank wus she remembered the daring, enirited countenance of tna hendsome count “O, dear, some girls seem to have everything” she sighed. Bob gulped. She was communicat- g her discontent to him, and he felt uely miserable. “Some men seem to thing,” he sighed in turn. “It isn't fair,” she echoed despair- ingly. Silence fell upon them. The gray day grew grayer, the robins ceased to sing; the springing buds drew back into their brown casings, and a littie have every- mourning wind arose lise the very breath of doom. They turned at the end of the street and waiked slowly back to the house where Jennle lived with her aunt, who had several children and many demestic cares. At the door they parted listlessly. “Good-by,” Jennie said “Good-by,” Bob returned, and went away, his head down. Jennie went into the house and up- stairs to her little room, where the! arpet was thin, the wall paper fad- ed and the curfains darned, took off her old coat and toque and, flinging herself across the narrow bed, cried as if her heart wouid break. As she cried a radiant young face between cloudy chiffon and glossy irs mocked her—the face of the girl in the blue auto. “Tt isn’t fair. It ism't fair!” she sobbed, storming at things in general. She did not come down to the Sun- | night lunch and next morning, after neglecting her breakfast, she took the early train for her school in little outlying village Her heart ached and her heart was avy. Bob had not come to take day h her {0 church as usual the night be- | She was sure she could never get out of her ears the sound of his Voice as he satd, “Good-by.” The week went woefully. Never had the children behaved so badly. Lessons dragged and the gray March fore. rain beating at the windows of the littie schoolhouse only added to her isery. She felt tired and beaten and discouraged. Tt was the first time in her life she had ever been really unhappy. What was the use of all this saving and trying? Again and again she asked herseif the guestion as she plodd=d through the mud of the country road to and from her boarding place. And always the gay face of the favored rich girl mocked her—the Wwhose wedding things had come from Pari: and was going to live in a castle a castle. when she and Bob could not afford a story and a third wooden hovel! Friday night came at last. Jennie packed up her old valise with her soiled blouse and the over-supply of handkerchiefs, which . her nightly tears had made necessary, and set fortn for home. The rain had ceased, but It was still damp underfoot. Drearily she tramped _from the station to her aunt's house. Cheery lamplight greeted her and her aunt gave her a hearty kiss. Supper had been eaten, but her por- tlor. was being kept warm for her. “Sit right down and eat,” her aunt said, busiling from stove to table in the tidy little kitchen. “You look tired out, child. What's the matter with you?” “I don’t feel well"” herself faintly. Spring Dilousness! I'll steep vou some boneset this. very night. It wiil strengthen you up in time. You can't work feeling like that.” She sat down opposite Jennie at the table, resting her strong arms on the cloth, Her merry, kind face looked very pleasant In the lamplight. “Well, how has school gone week?” she questioned. “O—pretty badly,” she sighed. “That's because you were out of sris, What do vou think has hap- ned?"
