The Girl I Left Behind
(Continued from first page)
now before I have to so to get-
ting dinner."
Here's the story Aunt Matilda
told after she finished laughing
"Seeing this picture made me
think of the time when Wesley
Sneed beaued me over, or rather
tried to, to a big circus affair
they had over at Greensburg.
They had lots of animals and
things and every body was fixin
to go and I was expecting to go
along with my folks. Well, 1
just thought I'd faint one day
wheni go1", a note from Wesley
asking ma to go with him to tha
Show. I'd never had a reed beau
in all my life before and all of
the girls Were going with theirs.
So I thought it would be line to
be with a'young man if it wasn't
any body but Wesley Sneed."
"I showed mother Wesle>'s
note and got her permission,
then I answered, saying, Ilia
company would be accepted with
the greatest of pleasure. The
next day he came drivin' around
after me about ten o'clock. My
folks had all gone when lie came
and I was glac> il:' for ho came
in his fathers bi§f two ho. ae
wagon, drivin' a mule ufid an
old blind hor.ie. I tt.ll you i(,
wasn't a very r.tyli/h rig."
"I'm sorr.v Ivlina Matilda# lit1
said, when I coma in nil my
finery, bTul found thi ti.-s ?o
loose on our buggy wheels that
1 was daresome to start out with
'cm. .
"Wes had brought two chairs
one for me unci one,lor himsvif,
tha e.n.jty otu4i 11 alipp ) 1 > > '■«>
to ti u back end Oi the w*.gt.n,
Wts waB luo gicen or too b.-w;u-
ful, I don't know which to ask
me to pull my chair up by him,
and I was too modest to sit there
without being asked. So I climb-
ed into the back chair and Wes
sit up in the front alone, and
off we went, both too green to
say a word. I don't think Wes
ever looked back for the first
mile or two. Although he held
his hand back after we had gone
u piece, and offered me some
stripped sticks of pep'mint can-
dy. I took the candy and said
thank you sir, and he said
you're very welcome" then we
drove on withouo a word for
some distance then we come to
Deer Creek, you know where
D?er Creek is, just on the other
side of the hill?
"Yes, I know," nodded Mrs.
Jones.
"And don't you remember
how Wes used to try to sing
and didn't have any more voice
than a turkey."
"Ye] I reckson I do remember
Wes' singing" said Mrs. Jones.
"And remember how his
mother used to say music run in
the family, but none of them
! could sing but Wes. Both laugh-
; i d and Aunt Matilda went on.
I "On the day I'm telling you
| about Wes suddenly began to
| sing at the lop of his voice just
I as we got to Daer Creek. I reck-
on he 'did it to entertain me.
I And you know he never knew
Lucre thijn two or three lines of
,\>iy sjug and he'd sing those
over and over until he'd almost
drive a person crazy. Besides
vVhon he didn't know the wordy
l.e'd BUtpi.v the missing ]>ait

" Vc*tyq:.'t Know what time
• ? I ■
and tune were." Said Mrs.
Jones.
"Well when we started across
the creek, Wes began to sing
"Flow Gently Sweet Afton"
when he stopped he said aint
that sweet Miss Matilda?"
"I said I thought it a pretty
song when sung well, Wes said
timidly, yes it does take a good
singer to bring it out just right."
"Wes sang on until we reach-
ed the foot of a long deep sand
bed then said; Miss Matilda do
you like that song. The Girl I
L^ft Behind Me."
"I said I thought it was very
pretty, I'll sing it for you vhe
said, and began in a very loud
voice; Oh the Girl I Left Behind
Me, Behind me. Tee diddle dum!
toe diddle diddle -dum! hey ho
ho! the Girl I left bahind me."
"About tliis time the wagon
wheel hit a rock, and my chair
turned over and back I went
out into the deep sand. It was
all so sudden I couldn't holler
and the sand ro deep the fall
didn't hurt me."
"Why laws sakes, Matilda
Coomer ' exclaimed Mrs. Jones.
"I don't suppose I made much
noise for Wes didn't stop sing-
in/, but went on up the road
yelling; Oh the Girl I left belli, d
me, tee diddle tee dum"

" "Of course I do. Jim married
my sister's husband's niece and
lives over on Chestnut Ridge
now."
"I laughed and told him the
hole story. I thought he'd
have a fit. But all this time
farther and farther away we
could hear Wos singing Oh th-i
Girl I Left Behind me."
"I tell you," said Jim
"you just got in tha buggy with
ine and I'll take you on to the
show, you shan't miss the fun
on account of Wes Snced's
stupidity."
"He whipped up his horse and
in a few minutes we caught up
with Wes who was still screech-

he stopped short when he saw

Pains All Over!
"You are welcome," says Mrs. Nora Guffey, of Broken
Arrow, Okla., "to use my letteC in any way you want to,
if it will induce some suffering woman to try Cardui. I had
pains all over, and suffered with an abscess. Three phy-
sicians failed to relieve me. Since taking Cardui, I am in
better health than ever before, and that means much to me,
because I suffered many years with womanly troubles, of
different kinds. What other treatments 1 tried, helped me
f6r a few days only."
Cardui Woman's Tonic
Don't wait, until you are taken down sick, before tak-
ing care of yourself. The small aches and pains, and other
symptoms of womanly weakness and disease, always mean
worse to follow, unless given quick treatment
You would always keep Cardui handy, if you knew
what quick and permanent relief it gives, where weakness
and disease of the womanly system makes life seem hard
to bear. Cardui has helped over a million women. Try it
