Mr. Clabber had stood nil tho rest

Tin for his rlRhtB ns n sovereign man.
"Mrs. Clabber," Bald ho, arising and
speaking with much dignity, "over
since I camo homo this ovenlng from
a hard day's work In tho marts of
trado you hnvo sought every reason
nblo nnd unreasonable opportunity to

"Nor, madam, Is this nil. You hnvo

You left your sewing In my easy

You nro wenrlng thnt old Pcrslnn

worse yet you hnvo either rcmnlned
truculently silent or you hnvo banged

Mrs. Clnbber, when I light my plpo
you begin to sniff In such n manner

UUULDNT TRIFLE WITH ART
Mr. Davis Learns a Lesson as the Re
sult of Trying to Do His Own
Whitewashing.
"Pny n man to dab a little white
wash on a fenco!" Mr. Davis snorted
Indignantly.
"If I couldn't do fool work llko thnt
I'd soil out," ho snbl. Mrs. Dnvls
sighed, bringing up tho nigh from tho
doop well of experience.
"You'll muss yourself nil up," sho
protested, "and it will hurt your
back " Mr. Davis laughed scornfully.
"Just you watch mo," ho snld, with
confldcnco. Then ho went out and
bought a whitewash brush. Ho paid
u quarter for It. and tho dcnlor hnd
tried to tnnko him buy ono for 75
couls.
"Soventy-flvo conta for n wbltownsh
brush!" Mr. Davis was so nngry ho
steamed.
Tlion ho bought a bushol of time nnd
went homo. Tho llmo was n flno pow

flakos of whlto on top. Tho llmo
stayod In tho bottom of tho tub.
When ho used tho now brush It
shed hairs llko n setter dog In sum
mer and, being wet, showed that it
possessed two thin rows of hairs ou
either sldo and none In tho middle.
Also, when tho whitewashing dried
tho fenco looked In nowlso different
from Its former ugliness. Mr. Davis
consldored. His back hurt. There
was llmo In his eyes and ho was mad
clear through.
Ho went Into tho house nnd found
Mrs. DavlB preparing to go down town,
so ho wont back to bis work.
As soon as sho was safely out of
sight ho headed for a negro shack ho
knew and resurrocted Undo Peter,
who was 7C years old nnd had been
whitewashing and doing odd Joba for
70 years.
Ho turned tho Job over to Undo
Peter, who throw his brush Into tho.
alley, emptied tho whitewash nnd pro
cured J2 from him.
With a whoolbarrow Undo Peter
disappeared and shortly returned with
a burrowlond of lump llmo nnd a brush
and sot to work. Mr. Davis Bat ou tho

Whon Mrs. Davis roturned hor hus
band was washed and shaven and tho
fonco was glistening whlto.
"Why, you did do it!" sho said. Her
evident surprise- nettled her husband.
"Of course I did." ho said; "I do all

"All by yourself?" Inquired Mrs. Da

"Woll," confessed Mr. Davis, "I got

Dr. Bobby and
By BRYANT
Hobby Shnttuck's first patient was
a big Irishman,, ns drunk ns a lord.
Ho tumbled Into tho new office with
his hands up to n very bloody hend, ns
If ho hnd to hold It on. "Get mo n
doctor!" ho groaned, nnd Dobby, poor
follow, was so ovorjoyed to havo a
real patient, with a real scnlp wound
to bow up, thnt ho treated thnt Irish
man llko n prince.
Tho pntlcnt appreciated It, ns was
evident whon ho took his doparturo.
Ho got out n lnrgo red handkerchief
and began to cry into It. "Tho worst
of It Is," ho sobbed, "I'vo no money
for you nothing but n henr-r-t full
of love! Ilut thnt's bettor thnn any
monoy."
True, no doubt. Ilut Just then Dobby
really proforred being paid In baser
coin. He did wonder sometimes, aft
erward, if that first fco wero a sort
of omen, for ho did not got rich rap
idly. Ho had a fow patients that paid,
but It seemed to him ns if ovorybody
that couldn't pay camo to him begging
his help.
Ho had bcon in practico about n
yonr ono morning when ho stood on
tho street corner nenr his offlco think
ing It nil over. Sixteenth otrcot was
crowded with womon out shopping
and nil nt once ho felt n familiar pull
nt his heart strings nnd ho knew
Ircno Louise was near. Ho roally
know hor so slightly that ho had no
right to havo n pull nt tho heart
strings.
Ilut sho was always very sweet with
him. Her faco flashed into a smile
as bIio passed him.
"Oh, Doctor Shattuck!" sho said,
"if you aron't too busy professionally
como out to Court placo somo Fri
day ovenlng."
"Thank you," said Bobby Shattuck.
"I thank you."
And Juat then Billy Calkins, hap
poned nlong nnd saw tho kindling
oyos of Dobby. "You, too!" oxclnlracd
Dllly.
"I don't know what you mean,"
snld Hobby coldly.
"I suppose you think you're doing
somothlng orlglnnl."
''I'm still moro in the dark."
"Thon Blnco you're obtuse lot's
talk of somothlng olso Irene Loulso
Faxton, for Insta'nco. Sho, Hobcrt,
has had 1,300 offers this month, as
near as I can calculate."
"One from you?"
"Dot your sweet life, no. And Doc,
nskln', your pardon, I don't think it
would bo much uso for you to propose,
elthor."
"I seo mysolf proposing to a girl,"
said Dobby, bitterly, "lot alono nn
heiress."
"Sho Isn't nn heiress." asserted
Dllly. "Sho's a plain beauty. No, not
n plain ono, n benuty. . She lives with
an old woman who has nothing to
leave hor hor aunt, It Is. They sny
tho girl doesn't even havo pocket
money. So you see, Doc, she's got to
marry at least n million. I tell you
this becnuso I fear you nro going to
get hit hnrd."
Hobby went bnck to his offlco nnd
na thoro wns nothing to do, ho sat
reading a magnslno for n whllo.
Much good It did him to go Into so
ciety! Tho rich would nsk him to
call, but when they wore 111 they sent
for Bomobody oIbo,
As ho -reflected grimly on his nf-
falrs the telephone Jingled and ho nn
swerod It.
"Is this Doctor Shattuck?" a voice
naked.
This Is Doctor Shnttuck," nn-
swered Bobby.
"Can you come out to 17 Court
plnco right nwny, doctor?"
"Seventeen Court plnco" tho ad
dress actually frlghtoned poor Bobby
for ho wan called to tho most fash-
Inoable quarter of tho city, ana ho
throw a few things Into a medicine
caso, and In flvo minutes ho wan
spoodlng southwnrd on a trolley.
Suddenly his heart did a funny lit
tle Jump, thon set. off nt tho rate of n
dollar watch that Is out of fix. Ho
knew that number. It wns hers.
Buzz zip!" his henrt went, nnd
didn't bring up with a bumn till
thoy hnd reached tho end of tho trol-
loy lino.
Hurrying through Court place he
saw mnsslvo homes with deep door
ways finished In marble and garden
ers busy preparing the shrubbery for
winter, To the south dark blue,
crlnklod with wind, dotted hero and
there with gay little sallB shim
mored tho lake. It wbb all very tine.
No doubt she had set her heart on
hnvlng such nn establishment. No
doubt! Bobby ought to have hated
hor for her mercenary soul, as Hilly
Calkins dirt, but somehow ho couldn't
seem to hate her for anything. He
only wondered, ns he rnlled the bell,
It It was she who was ill.
As noon ns tho door opened Into
the largo reception hall In fluttered
MIsb Fnxton horself.
"Oh, Doctor 8hnttuckt" Rhe ex
claimed, "how good of you to come
at once. Tho patlont Is a very poor
woman who used to bo our cook. I'll
tnko you thoro In the mnchlno."
Sho Boomed embarrassed as sho laid
hor hand on his sleeve.
"I wanted to say that cook Is very
poor. I'vo boon nursing her mysolf,
but I felt as if wo needed a doctor,
8ho Bwallowod hastily, nnd lifted hor
eyes. "I of courso I wish I could
ask that tho bill bo Bont to me, but 1
haven't any money of my own at nil.
Nurse Irene
C. ROGERS
I could ask to como for nothing."
"You don't know what n rnpnclqus
follow I nm!" crlod Bobby, gone quite
dnft for n minute. "If I dared, I'd
chnrgo you tho nmount of my first
fee."
"Was It vory much?" asked Irene,,
her hand on cook's door. '
"If you paid It," said Hobby softly.
"I'd bo rich for llfo," and ho followed1
her Into tho house.
Cook was very III, as ho snw nt a.
glance. Thcro was a hard night's
work, ho Judged, boforo them both.
And so It provod. At midnight tho
old woman began to rally a very little.
At .1 o'clock she fell asleep. And It
was Just daybreak when Hobby
dropped Into a chair at last to rest
Ireno sat opposlto him in cook's tit
tlo parlor with tho box stove. There
was n window open. Morning fog
drifted In and they could hear the trol
ley cars begin to move. """"
"Oh!" sho cried, "I thing you're n
wonderful doctor. You you ought to
havo n great big feo for such a night's
work." She laid her tired head back
against tho chair, nnd in the fnlnt
light Hobby saw tho ahlno of her eyes
nnd tho white glenm of her neck. "I
wonder," sho went on, "If it would be
impertinent to nsk whnt you usually
chnrgo. You spoke of getting ono big
feo right at first. What 'did you mean
by a big feo?"
"Woll," said Hobby, "my first feo
was a heart full of lovo." And then
ho stopped, really frightened at him
self. "Toll mo nbout It," snld Irene. And
with a thumping henrt ho gnvo ber
tho story. "You must forglvo mo," ho
ndded, "for nn importlnent thing I
snld to you yesterday afternoon."
Still resting hor head she looked
into hia eyes. "You don't need forgive
ness, Robert!" sho said, at last.
And Bobby stumbled out into tho
street. Ho knew ho had behaved bad
ly. It was all because ho didn't know
how to make her understand that ho
was not only wretchedly poor, but had
no hopo of ever getting on his foet.
Ho stuffqd his hands Into his pockets
nnd wnlked ho didn't know whore
till he fairly bumped Into his room
mato, Hilly Cnlklns.
"Hollo, Doc," said Billy; "thought
you'd eloped."
"1 see myself eloping," groaned
Dobby.
"Oh, come, now. Don't mnko a poor
mouth at me. Don't I seo tho patients
going to you by droves. And don't
you stay out all night tending to n fat
case? And don't tho thousand-dollar
checks como In every mall?" Ho
toBsed Dobby two letters.
Bobby pushed the advertisement oi
surgical Instruments Into his pocket
and walked nlong, fingering a bluo en
vo.opo addressed in a strange hand.
"Of course," ho thought, "I'll go to
Ireno and tell hor the wholo story.
Hut can I mnko her understand why
It wasn't right for me to let hor care
for me?" Ho began to blto open tho
bue envelope. Then ho turned hia
eyes on tho letter.' It was from n law
firm ho hnd never henrd of.
"Dr. Robert Shnttuck," he rend
"you nro named In the will of our cli
ent. Mr. Mlchao' O'Connell, lately de
ceased. Mr. O'Connoll In his will ap
propriates tho sura of $80,000 In interest-bearing
bonds to your uso In
tho gratuitous treatment of tho poor."
Hobby looked up. Hilly Calkins' face
was n blur. Ho heard n big brewery
wagon lumbering up behind him aud
Billy Jerked him aside.
"Mr. O'Connell states," tho lawyer
continued, "that ho was tho recipient
of medical service from, you for which
ho nevor pnld you."'
"My my first pntieat!" gasped
Bobby. ,
"Wha about him?" asked Billy.
"He he's dead."
"Umph! Ltved quite a while, dldn'l
he, doc?"
Bobby devoured the rest of his lot
tor nnd tucked It Into his pocket. "So
long," ho said to Billy. "I'vo got to
cnll up a party over long-dlstanco
phono."
It was ten o'clock when the law firm
answered him, and at 10:30 bo was
leaving tho trolley near Court plnco.
Tho flno houses were Just waking up
and the lake had Its morning shlmmej
of gray. Bobby's stops quickened till
he fairly raced. Then ho found hlhv
self at No. IT, face to fae with Ireno.
"Did you forget something?" she
asked, and smiled quite coldly. But
Hobby saw her steady her hand on
the back of a chnlr.
"Yea," he said, huskily.
"Cook's medicine. 1 suppose It's
good of you to como back."
"No, not that." said Bobby. "I for
got to tell you I lovo you."
Hut Irene drow horself up, with n
shaky smile. "Oh, doctor," sho cried.
"don t think you must say that bo
cause I made a silly speech to you."
"Oh, Ircno!" Hobby folded hor In hia
arms nnd she hid hor faco on his
shoulder and began to cry. "Won't
you won't you. understand how n man
feels when he loves n girt and has
nothing?"
"I think," sho murmurod, "It's Jusl
sweet for you to say you have nothing
Tho others all thought they had so
much."
"But, dearest I'm Just thinking 1
can't mako monoy. I'm nwfully afraid
we'll havo to live Just about on the
Income from my first feo."
"From a wholo heart full?" ant

How to . Prepare Many Appetizing

If fish is lightly rolled in flour nfter

with cooking.

In several ways for spinach. Thoy

boforo sending It to tho tablo. Croutons
of bread, fried In ollvo oil or boct fat,
may bo used with hard eggs, with tho
yolk dressed with oil, red popper nnd
salt and put back Into tho whlto. After
being stuffed, tho half eggs nro turned
bottom sldo up and mndo Into "porcu

of tho meat mix tho crumbs of two or

softon tho mass with cream or rich
milk, nnd add half a cup of stewed to
matoes. Roll tho nrbat Into balls, sea
son and sprlnklo with a Uttlo dry
flour, and brown them with buttor In
a pan not too hot.
A mixture of various poppers some
times glvoa a now taste to a soup or
warmed over meat dish; red, whlto
and black may be put togother, in
quantities not to mako tho dish too
hot A chicken soup or lamb broth
which has a faded tasto tho tnate
that means poor moat or llttlo of it
is often much improved with a half
teaspoon ful of curry powder.
To cool: rice in tho dry southern
fashion, it must bo first Washed in
quite six cold wnters. This removes
tho surplus starch and so kcops tho
grains from sticking together. Wash

indigestible pap, though tho quantity
of water used for tho cooking has
somothlng to do with tho spoiling.
Good southern cooks uso exactly dou
ble tho quantity of water that they

vigorously until tho water .is absorbed!
nnd finishing tho cooking with a slow
steam on tho back part of tho stove.
Dolled mutton Is mado far moro de
licious If a largo whlto onion and a
tablospoonful of Worcestershire sauco

tho pot at tho time tho meat la put
on, for the sauco requires all tho cook

Delicious eggplant Is prepared by
cutting tho raw vegetable up after tho

If a coffee pot Is warmed before tho
