One of the most peculiar of them is that men continue to drink some brand, once very good, that has now become—very bad. To understand, you must give us credit in knowing whisky conditions. Many brands of one time merit are now sold only because men don’ ténow. Habitisa forceful thing! James E.

TEV IRESEN: Two Hearts “J AM so happy, mamma.” As Inez spoke she twined her beautiful arms around her mother’s neck, Although they were many times millionaires, and had houses at New- port and on Fifth Avenue and camps in the Adirondacks, Inez’s parents had. not spoiled their daughter. In the midst of so much splendor, she yet remained a child at heart. Nothing so delighted her as the simple pastime of plucking daisies, and she preferred her primitive little pony-cart to all the six-cylinder autos in the world, When, therefore, she announced her engagement to her father’s head stenog- rapher, a strong, manly, handsome fellow, they both rejoiced at the choice. “Ah, my child,” said Inez’s mother, smoothing back the hair from the fair young forehead, “why should you not be?” At this moment a step was heard on the white marble sidewalk below. It was the head stenographer approaching. He clasped Inez fervently in his arms, while her beautiful head rested on his shoulder. “Darling,” he said, “when we are married we will live in a stately house on upper Fifth Avenue, and you shall have everything you wish.” “On your salary of two thousand?” she murmured. “Certainly not. My salary would hardly keep us in doormats.

She was a New York girl and things happen from the minute she gets off the train in the little cattle town just this side the turbulent Mex- ican border. “The Light of Western Stars” is not rip-snorting border fic- tion by any means, but a man’s size novel—a swinging tale of reality— every incident natural, and for that reason all the more exciting. It reveals a life you would like to live yourself.

She shrank from luxury with the pure instincts of a perfectly natural nature. “Why is it necessary for us to do this, dear?” she asked tremblingly. “You know that it is distasteful to me.” “For my sake. I have never had anything, you know.
