An Appeal to the
Sense of Beauty
By EUNICE BLAKE
Dr. Worthington wns the physician
of the upper (en lliousiiiicl licit a phy
slclan of the upper ten thousand, but
the physician of Unit class. He whs
thirty-five years old and considered the
handsomest man of the city In which
lie lived and practiced his profession.
One night a lamp exploded In (he
home of a young widow, setting lire
to the clothes of an old lady, a mem
ber of the family, and burning her so
severely that she lived hut twenty-four
hours after the accident. Kvury doe
tor in (he neighborhood was called in.
among them Dr. Worthington. There
was little that could be done for the
patient, who was known to every
doctor lherc, but (here was a great
deal to be done in calming those pres
ent. As soon as the physician of the
upper (en thousand entered pracdtlon
crs earning a beggarly $5,000 (o $10.
000 a year instinctively withdrew Into
their shells, and when he spoke In liSi
musical bnrltono voice a few words
enjoining quiet a calm fell upon every
one in tlio room.
Mrs. Allandale, the young widow in
whoso house thu accident occurred,
was so Impressed with Dr. Worthlng
ton's aristocratic bearing, ids self con
trol and (hat Influence he possessed over
his fellow beings, especially women,
that she resolved to win him for her
second husband. Mrs. Allandalo had
heard a story about the doctor's having
to employ a chaperon at his olllce and
realized that her gamo must bo played
with great delicacy In order to be suc
cessful. About a week nfter the death and
burial of the person who was burned
Dr. Worthington was called to visit
Mrs. Allandale. Ho responded nt once
and found the lady reclining In her li
brary, where logs blazed In a gotliic
fireplace. She had on a pale blue silk
negligee she was a blond and n lamp
Blinded In pink was on n little table
beside her. The blue was especially
becoming, and (lie pink lamplight on
her complexion added to the pleasing
effect. Dr. 'Worthington was perfectly
aware from the moment he entered the
room that the lady's Intentions were
tlioso of women from whom his duenna
was expected to protect him. Hut, oh,
how different this appeal from the oth
ers! Tlio lady did not extend her finger
tips; Nhe did not smile; shu simply
said;
"Doctor, in the dreadful experience
wo havo had in this house my nerves
have been severely strained. I sleep
very badly, have no appetite and am
subject to a twitching of tlio muscles,
especially when passing Into a slumber.
1 would llko yon to give me a sedative,
a tonic or whatever you think I re
quire." The doctor placed thu tips of his
thumb and fingers on the lady's wrist,
looked wise, sympathetic and respect
ful, all in one glance; then, taking out a
blank slip, wrote a prescription.
"Tills is merely a light sedative."
he said. "I do not attach much Im
portance to It. for the shock you linvo
received must wear oil' gradually. I
would advise diverting your mind so
far as possible social iiiTuIrs that are
to your Ilklng-nothlng that will bore
yon-amusements and, above all, the
company of those with whom you are
congenial and who Interest you."
"Thank you. doctor. I dare say you
are right. I noticed how you quieted
us all at the time of the accident, and
I rely more on your personal Inlluence
than your medicines. I should be glad
to have you call as often as your other
professional and social engagements
will permit, for I feel quieted already.
I am quite sure that treatment by in
fluence, such as Is practiced by Chris
tlnn Scientists and other like sects,
will do me a world of good. Hut. or
course. 1 do not mean that, you are to
glvo me more of your valuable time
than my share."
There was some desultory chat, after
which the doctor withdrew, promising
(o call again In a few days. Mrs. Al
landale told him (hat she required
soothing more In (he evening than in
the daytime and she would be glad
when he could find It convenient (o
call between S ami 11 o'clock p. m. lie
promised to do Ids best in this respect.
A few days later the doctor tele
phoned Mrs. Allandale that he must
visit a patient In her vicinity that even
ing nnd would call if sho thought he
could bo of any service. She replied
through her maid that she was much
depressed and begged that he would
surely come.
When tlio doctor called ho found Ids
patient sitting on one end of a sofa,
robed this time In a commingling of
pink and lace, with a Jack rose In her
hair, the latter diking (he place of the
lamp shade that had before given a
becoming hue to her complexion. He
inndo bold (o sit on the other end of
the sofa, and when ho felt her pulse
he left his lingers on her wrist longer
than before.
The doctor's visits became more ami
more frequent, and every (lino he call
ed he found Mrs. Allandale in a cos
tume which was a more becoming ere
atlon than the last, and at each call
there was a different lamplight or
screen sol near her foi heightening or
subduing the hue of her complexion
or a different tlower In her corsage oi
lier hair. What could not bo accom
plished by ordinary menus was brought
about by such appeals to the doctor's
senses. Ilcr efforts were successful,
nnd in duo time ho proposed and wns
ccepted.
Three Liars
A Story For Easter
By F. A. MITCHEL
When our troops came homo from
Cuba and, nearly all sick, were un
loaded from transports on the eastern
end of Long Islnnd the enmps that
held them were thronged with persons
who had come to find relatives or
friends. One of these, an old lndy
with an anxious look on her face, stop
ped at a tent before which sat an olll
ccr in a camp chair and asked in a
tremulous voice:
"Can you tell me If my boy has
roine?"
The officer rose, took off his lint re
spectfully and said:
"What regiment did your boy belong
to. madam 7"
"lie wns with the th I'ennsylvn
nlit." "Come with me, and I wil! see If I
can get the Information you wish."
He led the way to u tent wherein an
olllcer wns writing.
"Make your inquiries here." he said
and left her.
"I'm trying to find my boy, Henry
Ashurst," said the old lady.
The ofllcer looked serious. lie re
membered having the name of Henry
Ashurst on a list of killed nnd wound
ed, lie hunted In his desk for a cer
tnln pnper and when he found it ran
his eye over the list of names. Ills
expression became still more serious,
hut bo bent his ace down so that it
was concealed under the rim of his
hat. lie had found the name of Hen
ry Ashurst, but had not the heart to
tell tlio mother what list it was in.
. "Your eon hasn't como up from Cuba
yet, mndnm. He wasn't very well
when the last transport Hailed."
"Do you know what his trouble
was?" asked the old lady, tears start
ing Into her eyes.
"Some of those fevers they have
down there, I believe."
"la ho very 111?"
"Well, I couldn't tell you nbout Hint.
There's tlio reglmentnl surgeon's tent
over there; you might inquire of him."
The old lndy wnlked feebly over to
the tent deslgnnted, found tlio surgeon
nnd asked tlio same questions sho had
naked the ndjutant. The doctor looked
down upon the nnxlous face and turn
ed coward just as the other had done.
"Henry Ashurst!" ho said as if try
ing to recollect. "There was a soldier
In the hospital of that name, I think,
but I can't exactly recall his case."
"Was he very sick?"
"Oh, no; not very sick. 1 think it
was n simple llesh wound in the leg."
"Do you think he will come on tlio
next transport?"
"No doubt of It, madam; no doubt
of It."
The old lady went nwny. The ad
jutant saw her go and walked over
to the surgeon.
"I couldn't do my duty by that old
lady, could you? I found his name
on n list of mortally wounded. I (old
his mother he had a fever."
"I remembered him In thu hospital
as ono for whom there was no hope
of recovery. I Hod about It (oo. I
told his mother he had a slight flesh
wound. I only know what I have told
you. so I took the benefit of the
doubt."
Every day the old lady visited the
enmp, nnd every dny thu udjutnnt and
surgeon either told her more lies or re
pouted the old ones. The ship bearing
her son never came to Moutauk Point,
nnd when (he last tent was struck sho
ceased her visits and her inquiries.
The winter passed and no one had
the courage to tell the mother that her
hoy would not come back to her. They
all excused themselves on the ground
that no record of the denth nnd buiinl
of Private Henry Ashurst had been
found. Hut when the war closed ev
ery ono connected with the army was
In u hurry to got away from the heal,
the Hlckness, the death attending an
nrmy In a tropical climate In summer.
Until Romu one would assure her
that her son was dead the poor mother
hoped. She was very religious and
prayed fervently that her boy might
be restored to hor. One morning in
April when the sun, shining warm,
was opening the leaves typifying the
resurrection shortly to bo celebrated
at Master (hu old. lady went to her rec
tor and said she hnd a feeling that
Henry would come home on Easter
Bundny.
"Do you think," she snld, "that thin
feeling has been sent mo by Provi
dence V"
"Quito likely," was the reply. "1 bo
Huvu that Providence often sends us
forecasts of what is about to happen."
He had no more doubt that Henry
Ashurst's bones were moldeiing In
Culm than (hat (ho earth turned on its
axis.
"I'm so glad you think so!" added
the mother, moving away, while thu
clergyman looked after her, not know
ing whether to consider himself a Hnr
or one who hail done a kindness.
At dnwn on Easter morning there
was a loud rapping on the door of
Mr. Ashurst's house.
"He's come'." she said, getting out of
bed, and without stopping to put on a
wrapper she went downstairs, opened
(he door and was clasped In the arms
of her son."
"Oh. Harry, where have von been
all this time?"
"I was left in Cuba. When I got
well I had forgotten who I was. Since
then I have been going about as an
other person. Some time ago a surgeon
removed a piece of my skull, nnd hero
I nni."
The Head of
TheHouse
By LOUISE B. CUMMINGS
"Susie," said Tom Atherton in a se
rious lone of voice, "I've been doing n
job of thinking on our future."
"Why, Tom, whnt have you been
thinking about?"
"Well, when we're married there's
got to lie a head to our partnership.
There's nlwnys a head to every busi
ness firm."
"Do tell!"
"Now, what's marriage but n co
partnership? There'll be you nnd I,
and some day"
"You'll be manager, of course."
"What a sensible girl you are! Do
you know what first attracted me to
you? It wns your good sense. You
catch on to anything so quick. We'll
be just as happy as two doves, won't
we?"
And he drew her to him and gave
her a couple of dozen prcmatrimonlal
kisses. He Is content with one now.
and sometimes when he's thinking on
other matters even that Is perfunc
tory. Tom's salary was not large, and (he
couple had no income except whnt he
earned. The husband had not been an
expert on economy, but the wife was
a good manager. "I'll Just turn over
(o you," lie snld, "my salary check
each week, and you do all the plan
ning. I shall need very little for my
personal expenses, nnd I can hike that
as I want It. That's the way they do
In business. Ono man attends to get
ling the business, another to doing it,
while a third looks out for the
flnnnces."
"The flnnnce mnn of the compnny,
Isn't he?"
"Well, yes, usually."
"In our case you mnke tlio income
on which we live, and I attend to its
expenditure. In other words, you are
head of the firm, and I'm the junior
pnrtner."
"I suppose that's the way to look at
it."
So Tom turned over the checks each
Saturday night to his wife, and, since
she wns a splendid manager, all went
very well. There were no outstand
ing bills, nothing absolutely needful
that was not forthcoming, while a per
centage of each week's salary was put
away regularly for emergencies, such
as doctor's bills, and another amount
for a nest egg.
"My dear," said the happy husband
"when I run a big business I'll want
you for my financial manager. I could
make money In any. enterprise with
you to handle the cash."
"And Isn't It nice," replied the wife,
"that you can feel that you're the head
of the house?"
"I'll admit." said Tom thoughtfully,
"(lint it is. No man likes to feel that
he must be obedient (o n woman."
It was a few days after this remark
that Tom needed a pair of gloves.
Susie told him to go (o her box, where
she kept tlio household moneys, and
got what he needed. There was noth
ing smaller (linn a five dollar bill. He
took It. expecting to return the change.
Unfortunately, during the day an old
chum that lie hadn't seen for years
.came in to see him. Tom took him out
lo lunch and when he went homo re
turned $:i to the cash box Instead of
$1. The result was that when Tom
gave Ids wife the inarlinl kiss she
studied beer. She said nothing, but
after he had deposited the balance of
the cash she went to the drawer and
found It n dollar short.
"Tom." she said, "how much did you
take from the box this morning?"
"A liver. There was nothing small
er." "How much did your gloves cost?"
"A dollar."
"That leaves $1 to go back. Have
you put It all In?"
"All, ,'xeept a dollar."
"What became of that?"
"Well, you see. Pete Hathaway came
(o (own today, and I took him out to
lunch with me."
The look on Ml Atherton's face
was lowering, but she said nothing.
There was a silent dinner between
them, after which Tom said-
"Susie, 1 wish you'd get that look
olT your face. Ifs all because I spent
a dollar todny-a miserable, single tlol-lar-and
that entertaining an old friend
I haven't seen for several years."
"Who authorized yon to spend a
dollar for such a purpose?"
"Who authorized me? Am 1 account
able to you for the money I spend?"
"I thought I was to be the tlnanclal
member of our tlrm."
"So you are, so you are, but am I
not the head of the concern?"
"Of course you are! Hut that dol
lar you spent today I Intended for an
other purpose."
"What purpose?"
"I had Just enough with It to buy
our Sunday provisions. Now we'll
have to out canned salmon for Sunday
dinner."
That was tin; beginning, a new light
breaking In on Tom's brain. Ills wife's
management of their affairs Wns so
excellent, produced such beneflclnl re
sults that he became more of a slave
to her everv day. True, there was a
profit 'n ii i,i.. nut rom was y w.ave
nil the same. "Somebody on. c de
clared." be says, "that he didn't care
who made a nation's laws so long as
he could wrlto Its songs. My wife
doesn't care who makes the monev for
the family so long as she disburses it.
Head of the umo be hanged! I have
to account to her for every pennv I
spend,"
