6t- ^Py Shortcake—Before and
After.
O pie. them art a goodly thing.
In prope time and place,
But in the days of later spring,
Show m thy pasty face.
For what art thou, howevlr filled
With apple, peach or mince,
However fanciful thy build,
Or rich thy many tints,
Compared with that ambrosial dish
With layers made of dough.
Which gratifies the wildest wish
Of mortals here below?
Whose pastry straia drink up cream
Until they look like foam,
Whose bruised, delicious berries seem
To taste of youth and home.
Substantial with Its biscuit base,
Delicious with its fruli,
No pie can such a dish replace.
With all the world to boot.
When Satan sought to torment man,
And spur him on to crimes,
He did not have to sehemo and plan
A multitude of times.
For early sprang there In his mind
A recipe for pain.
Which was full cunningly designed
To drive a man insane.
He built a yellow biscuit dough.
Both sticky, hard and thick,
Put berries over and below,
And lo. he had the trick.
For let but sage or fool partake
Of that alluring food,
lie'll fold himself up close and mak#
His peace for well and good.
With such a mixture once within
The stomach of a man,
I-et him renounce a llfo of siri
And evil if he can.

His letter began abruptly:
“It’s no use, mon ami, I love you.
Ami when a man loves a woman,
friendship Is but as stones to a starv
ing man. People prate of the possi
bilities of the platonic—and such
things may be. Yes, If each party be
as cold-blooded hb a compressed air
machine. You may smile at this,
questioning: ‘Are not all beings com
pressed air machines?’ My mind does
not run along scientific lines. I take
little stock In the ‘brazen Baals’ and
‘talking fetishes’ with which you are
wont to satisfy all deep emotions.
And I love you. Let the saying stand
even so long as I live.
“What then? And you would fain
shrug your shoulders. But, think a
moment, friend of mine. You may
burn incense before many altars—yet
what gift can the gods bestow that
shall equal the love of man—strong,
tender, unfaltering? You will say that
for pralBing my own wares I am close
second to a Jew. True. But a modes
ty that stands between a man and
his happiness Is a foolish modesty.
“Do I not know whereof I speak?
Seeing that it has forced me to risk
my all upon a single throw? You
smile—there in your pleasant sea
green serenity—saying: ‘A man’s love
is not his all.’ Many there be who
will agree with you; yet what sayB
the inspired Paul of Tarsus? ‘If 1
have not love In my heart I become
as a tin pan beaten by sticks’—or
something to that elTect.
“Do not answer this for ten days,
mon ami. Give the gods of chance
an opportunity to throw their dice in
my favor. Would to the Lori 1 could
load the dice.
“Do not doubt my sincerity, for 1
tell you stralghtly that should you
find It Impossible to give me love for
love my life will be worth no more
to me than a bad egg—though the
chances are that I shall go on living
pretty much as the next man does.
Custom and culture, like American
manufacturers, strive Bteadily to re
duce Individuality to a fixed standard
—that if one part be broken or mis
laid Its substitute may be readily sup
plied.
"But, dear, though this Is true of
the surface, there are myriads of
men striving to content themselves
with shadows Instead of substances;
and dear, dear, man of few fears that
1 am, my heart falls me at the thought
of such a life—day after day without
you.
“Mon ami, 1 know well that you
laugh at love, yet I lay my love be
fore you. Know, also, that you have
bitter prejudices against matrimony,
yet I ask you In all seriousness to
become my wife. What reply can you

of stoics? I fear so. And yet 1 am
not so unlovable. Women have loved
sorrier specimens of manhood. Ah
but I know, you are not one of those
women.
“O, woman, woman strong of hearl
and steady of nerve, why could 1
not be content with pleasant talks
and easy relations? Why cannot s
man live 6n stones that are plentiful
rather than on loaves that are dear'
Curse a pen for a soulless Instrument!
• Why can I not take you in my arms
and force you to feel the love In
1 my heart-beats and on my lips? Why?
Because of that greasiest of all greasy
altars—propriety. You have burned
much incense upon it. Did it ever
occur to you that it came high?
“Well, when all is said, I love you.
What are you going to do about it?”
He sealed the letter without paus
ing to read it over and shot it into
the shute.
What would she do about it? His
^eart answered him promptly enough.
Yet be allowed hope to drag him
through ten days of sickening uncer
tainty. Luring him on with the mem
ory of those faded letters he had
once pondered over,' wondering how
on earth a woman as wise as his
mother could have allowed herself to
slop over so in sentiment and bad
spelling. This was before he began
to crave such a letter. A letter that
called his dearest on each third line
and spoke much of undying devotion.
For ten days. Hope held it tantaliz
ingly before him—fine writing on tint
ed paper. Then her letter came. Per
fectly correct; mortally cold. He shiv
ered slightly as he ripped open the
envelope and unfolded the crackling
sheet. But he set his teeth and forced
his attention through the formal open
ing.
“Anent your Interjection touching
stones and loaves, I would suggest

written sheet.
would be no more plentiful than bread
and would be quite as highly prized.
‘‘And, my friend, do not let Kipling
lead you astray as regards brazen
Baals and greasy altars. They have
their uses and so long as they be
confined to their own sphere they
stand for good. For you will admit
the truth of this trite saying: ‘There
is no virtue that may not by exag
geration become vice.’ To overdue
Is the crime for which humanity
stands convicted. The dumb brute
alone knows how to let well enough
alone. An ox could give Plato or
Aristotle lessons in philosophy. Still
we have been bitten by the bad bug,
Ambition, and the fever is In our
veins. We must go on or go down.
'No backward path,’ through the high
ways of the world. Only to keep the
face steadily toward the goal and
stamp on so sturdily as we may—
stamping alike over burrs, and blos
soms.
‘‘Brutal, you will say. Yet It Is the
sesame of success. And, after all,
while there are stars overhead why
should be trouble ourselves about
the silly snowdrops under foot? A
misplaced tenderness is surely weak
ness even as misdirected strength be
comes brutality. Well, as you per
ceive, I stand in need of beans and
my thoughts do not come clearly.
‘‘Concerning that other matter you
mention: You have evidently exam
ined the situation more carefully than
I have yet been able to do, so I rest
upon your Judgment Is the wisest
course to be pursued.
“And this, I believe, answers yours
of recent date. Nothing has hap
pened since I saw you last, so I have
no news save, that to judge from
present appearances, I shall not be
burning incense this afternoon upon
that greasiest of altars.”
It was several hours from afternoon,
but the man got up hurriedly and be
gan looking around for his hat.
Out in the park by the fountain he
drew forth again that thin, typewrit
ten sheet. Crisp, correct and ever so
cautious. Had he published it, sho
would have stood unconfessed. For
a moment he thought of those letters
of long ago, scented with violets and
overflowing with sentiment. A letter
that any careless eye might read with
one smile for the gush and the spell
ing. But this, this was for him alone.
He alone could read the delicious
meaning so cunningly hidden between
those rigid lines.
Good heavens, how could he wait
until the afternoon?
And then It occurred to him that ho
need not wait
Infant Market in Hungary.
The orphanage at Temesvar, In
Hungary, holds an “Infant market”
once a month, at which all the chil
dren at the orphanage will be on
view, and at which persons desirous
of adopting one or more of them can
inspect them and take their choice.
The first of these markets passed oft
very successfully. Thirty children
were on view—boys and girls between
the ages of 1 and 10 years. Nineteen
of them were adopted, five boys and
fourteen girls. Most of them were
adopted by fairly well-to-do people,
and one foster-mother went straight
to a lawyer’s office and made h^r
newly-adopted child heiress to her
fortune of £20,000. — Pearson’s
Weekly. ,
Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
Scott’s Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, Scott’s
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. It not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.
