Ret Ginclally Repertad. BY EDGAR WELTON COOLEY. tCepyright, 1902, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) "A number of years ago, while trae <ng the movement of a registered pack age that hi d been lost In the malla,” said the oh! secret service man, ‘‘I missed train connections and was forced to lay over for several hours in one of the cities in a certain southern state. So, as the local postmaster waa s personal friend of mine, I called upon him. "While we were conversing in his private office a young man entered and the postmaster presented him to me as his chief clerk. I have reasons for not revealing his identity, even at this late date, so I will give him the Incorrect name of James Bradford. "As a matter of course I prefer, at all times, that my profession should be hidden from the public and especial ly from government employes, but, un thinkingly my friend introduced me on this occasion as a member of the secret service. "I was looking keenly into the young man’s eyes and noticed him start and tremble. But be immediately regain ed his composure and offered me his hand, which I clasped warmly. “I knew at once that his was a guilty conscience. A thousand thoughts flashed through my mind. I tried to, in some way, associate him with the (ase upon which I was working, but I could not do so since the missing package could not have passed through Dis bands. "At this moment the postmaster was called from the room and I Immediate ly determined to test the young man’s nerve to the utmost. So I arose and closed the door. Then 1 turned to him. ‘Sit down,’ I said. ‘I wish to talk with you.’ “I watched his face closely. I saw It grow suddenly scarlet, then pale, and I noticed that he clasped the arms of the chair so tightly that the nails were forced into the wood. “But I was at a loss how to proceed. That he was guilty of some criminal act I felt assured from his agitation, but I had absolutely no theory upon which to work. "Determined to unravel the mystery upon which I had so accidentally stumbled, I felt disposed to allow him to nurse the evident fear that I was In possession of certain facts regarding the crime he had committed, whatever it might be. Yet, so far as possible, I desired to disabuse his mind of any thought that I suspected his connec tion with it. So, drawing a chair in front of him, I laid my hand upon his knee and said, In a confidential tone: “ ‘Mr. Bradford, it is true that 1 am an agent of the secret service. But I beg that you will do me the kindness to keep that fact to yourself. I am hero to investigate certain irregular ities in this office and, since you know my mission, you may be of vast as sistance to me.’ "He promised to do my bidding, but while he seemed somewhat assured it was plain to see he was ill at ease. Then I dismissed him. “When the postmaster returned we continued our conversation. Present ly I referred to the business of the of fice and casually expressed a desire to see the last statement of the postof Oce Inspector, 'My friend brought me l copy. It whs dated but ten days pre viously anA the accounts of the office were certified to as being apparently correct. / " ‘Theft Is a good showing,’ said I. ,,,..^Who. bandies the funds of the office?’ '' “ ‘Mr. Bradford,’ he replied. “‘Is he married?’ “ ‘Yes. He has an estimable wife and a beautiful baby boy.’ “ ‘Reliable man, 1 suppose?’ said I. “ ’Perfectly. There is not a dishon orable hair in his head. He’s been em ; ployed In the office six years.’ “The young man’s reputation cer tainly seemed good, but I determined to shadow him. I did so. Without arousing suspicion I watched his every “Sit down “ r anld. movement during the remainder of th< day. I learned that he was alone li the office from six o’clock In the even ing until It closed at nine, and that ii was he who placed all the stamps anc cash in the vault before closing for th< night. “While Idly Inspecting the office dur ing the afternoon 1 discovered a knot hole in the board ceiling. The seconc floor of the building was divided lute office rooms, and I found that the par tlcular room, the floor of which con talned the knot-hole, was empty, obtained the key under preteue of cx aminlng the room with a view to rent Ing. “To my delight I found that I couli secure a good view of the postofflee b; looking through the hole. So I rentei the room, making a small payment. "That •veiling, from six o'clock un „ » iie. i lay oia the floor with my ay$ | to the hole, watching Bradford. ". hiricg the entire time he appeared oerrous and excited. In moments of leisure he would stare absently at the wall or at his desk, every feature of his face marked with despair and wretchedness. "Finally the hour for closing arrived, T saw him lock the outside door; I saw him place the stamps In the vault and return with the money box, filled with bills and coin; I saw him count the small change that was in the money drawer In the desk; I saw him make a note of the amount and enter It In a book. “Then he glanced around the room, apprehensively, frightened, a wild look In his eyes and perspiration on his brow. "Suddenly he set his Jaws together determinedly and with feverish haste filled his pockets with the bills and silver. When he had emptied the box he placed It back In the vault and closed and locked the door. Then he advanced a few steps and paused. "What thoughts must have passed through his mind at that moment as he stood upon the threshold between honor and disgrace! Never before nor , — I 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. Send for free sample.

Somebody's heart softened toward the seven hundred or more immigrants who had to spend their first Easter in the new world on Ellis island, and ice cream was a part of »he bill of fare. To many of the newcomers—to nearly all of them. In fact—the frozen cream was a novelty. Some were much puzzled at the strange article of food “Sure an’ there’s frost in th’ milk," said an Irish girl, when the first cold spoonful had surprised her throat. “Milk, did ye say,” said a North of Ireland lad; “begorra an’ it’s more like swatened snow, it is.” “An’ how did they kape it from meltin?” inquired another. Some Italian immigrants did not take as kindly to the ice cream, and they tried to make the attendant un derstand that they would like to have it warmed up. “Shiver me timbers!” exclaimed an English fisherman, smacking his lips, “what stufT this would be to cruise with in ’ot weather.”—New York t“re5i. . . .

He gazed at it in silence. since have I seen such agony on a hu man face as I saw then. “Presently he staggered to his desk and picked up a baby’s photograph. For a few brief moments he gazed at it in silence. Then he pressed it to his Ups and, turning, reopened the vault, took the money from his pocket, placed it back in the box and locked the door. On his face was a bright gleam as of a great happiness and up from the depths of my heart there surged a cry, 'God bless him!’ “With a smile on his face he turned out the light and I hurried from my hiding place. I met him at the door. He was startled when he recognized me, but I held out my hand. “ ‘Bradford,’ said I, pressing his hand in mine, ‘you couldn’t do it, could you?’ “’No,’ he said, a tremor In his voice, ‘I couldn’t do it; I couldn’t break my wife’s heart and bring everlasting dis grace upon my baby boy.’ “ ‘Now, my boy,’ said I, kindly, ‘don’t turn back. Tell me the rest— perhaps I can help you.’ “He looked me in the eye a moment. Then he said: “ ‘I will trust you, sir. I have been too extravagant in my living and have used about >500 of the office funds. I did not intend to steal; I expected to make it good, but 1 do not see how I can. I decided to run away, but I can’t do it, sir; I can't do it.’ "I rested my hand on his shoulder. ‘Bradford.’ said I, ‘I believe you are honest at heart. It is not too late to rectify your mistake. Go home now and go to bed. In the morning I will see what can be done.’ He looked at me with tears in his eyes. ‘Thank you, sir,’ he said. “Well,” continued the old secret service man, after a pause, “I told the postmaster everything, but secured a promise from him to give Bradford another chance. Between us we made up the deficit, taking Bradford^ notes. These notes were paid long since and to-day Bradford is holding an import ant government position and is entire ly trustworthy. As I had not been de tailed upon the case, I made no report of it, but I have always been thankful that I missed my train that morning.’’ To Cars the Stammering Habit. A new method of curing the stam mering habit is being advocated. It is based upon the alleged fact that stam merers rarely If ever show any im pediment of speech when talking in a whisper. What may be called the "whisper cure” is as follows, says the New York Press: For the first ten days the stuttering person is not al lowed to speak at all. This allows rest for the vocal cords and is the first stage in the cure. After ten solid Jays of absolute silence the patient is al lowed to speak, but only in a whisper. He generally is kept in this second stage for a space of fifteen days, some times more, sometimes less, according to the severity of his case. After the whisper period is passed, the patient is allowed gradually to increase his tone of voice until a conversational one is reached. This is the most criti cal period of the cure, and the transi tion from the whisper to the conver ' eational tone must be very gradual There is certainly one thing to be said for the new cure: it does not cost any thing, and any stammerer can try 11 for himself without calling in a medi cal adviser. The only objection mighi ! be that the preliminary ten days 01 silence might interfere with the pa l tient’s prosecuting his usual business He might, however, try it when on hli next vacation.
