rwently said this: “We use Black-
Draught aa a family medicine and
think It la the only liver medicine
made, )fy husband makes it up and
n»e* It aa a tonic as well as a laxa-
tive. I use It for headache, sour stnm-

which I suppose Is Indigestion, and It
cerfnlnly does me a lot of good.
My husband had some kind of ston-
■ch trouble—we don’t know Just what,
would strike him Just any time in
the day and cramp or pain him Just
terribly bad. Someone told him how
to moke a tea of the Black-Draught,
which he did. It did him so much
good. It removed the cause and cured
him. Since then we have praised the
Black-Draught to our friends, and
gladly do so.”

lungs full of smoke and exhaling
through bis nose.
The lawyer appeared more than nan-
ally loquacious thla evening. He had
a reputation for being rather taciturn
when he wai not In eourt, but with me
he always threw off the cloak of re-
serve and chatted freely.
During our after-dinner chats, which
always took place In his office on the
seventh fioor of the Bolt wood build-
lug. we had decldml the fate of bol-
shevism. solved the problem of H. C.
I... settled the railroad ownership Is-
i sue and thoroughly threshed out the-
osophy, spiritualism and new thought.
I es, we were congenial souls, were
(ilenqtilst and I.
As yet we had never discussed the
most perplexing problem of the ages
love. Maybe It was because we
were both confirmed bnchelors and did
not feel In a position to talk authori-
tatively on the question. However, the
marriage of a mutual friend had
brought the matter before uh this eve-
ning. and casually I had Inquired
why Glenqulat had never selected a
lifelong companion.
"Suppose you tell your story." he
suggested when I broached the sub-
ject. "Then I'll burden you with
mine."
"I II burden you with no story," I
replied. "There's no story to It. t
Just naturally didn't take to the fair
sex. or rather they didn't tnke to me.
I guess it was mutual. Have vou a
story?"
For a moment lie did not reply, and
when be broke the silence It was to ut-
ter the words that opened this tale.
“Furthermore," he went on. “It la
strange tliat brains do not sppeur to
be considered much of an asset to a
man when he asks a woman to become
his wife. At least that Is the case
Wth some women, and very good,

mean. Perhaps, as I My. It Is their

"In my case, perhaps, I deluded my-
self Into thinking I had brains. Maybe
I mistook my education for gray mat-

lack an adequate amount of brains.

"I was terribly fond of Casale IVel-
don six years ago. This was my home
town, and nlso hers. We were class-
mates In high school, and when we
were graduated I went to the univer-
sity and she became a typist In a real
estate office. During our last year In
high school we had become very close-
ly associated In social work and be-
fore we realized It were keeping
steady company.
“When I was at college we corre-
sponded regularly, and It seemed to
me that she cared almost as much for
me as I for her I pictured her pre-
siding In a nice little home when I got
started on the road to success In my
chosen profession, and although I did
not broach the subject. I felt con-
vinced she would see It that way.
lerhaps I was somewhat egotistical.
Mit really I do not believe It was that.
To be sure, I was proud of the show-
ing I was making in my atudlea and
very hopeful of the future.

tion.
‘She watched the big crane awing
the shovel round and dump Its con-

hoisting apparatus was again aet at I
work on the hank of dirt and the proc-
esa repeated. A lapse came with a
break In the chain of wagons which
carried the dirt away. Then Caasie
turned to me.

ment. Jim, I think ■ lot of yon. Tou're
very clever, but—there'* one thing, a
tremendous big thing, lacking In you.
It's physical power, or the ability to
control physical power. You may

mire power. If you were only like—

you were the engineer on that steam

“I confess that little speech floored
me. We started to walk away, but a
wagon arrived, and the steam shovel
started operation! again, and Caasie
had to watch It some more. I
strangled, gulped and flnallv managed
to say. weakly:
“'Yes, and some day Til have an
