m-Tiu W'i'ss c! a V/iJoj, H BY NORMAN WRIGHT. ■B opyrlght. lM'l, by I'nily Story Pub. Co.) ■ Of course, it was my fault—proba H Hf. I was young; we were both ' flung; had we been older, or at least ' ss callow, it would not have hap yM 'ned. But what's the use of talking gfl |)out “ifs" and "huts’ ? It was as It as and there’s no help for it. •fl I might as well state plainly at this < rncture that Margery ami I were In - »ve, or at least we thought we were, 'fl I/a had been sweethearts ever since ■: I 'tie was In pinafores and I in short v I ants. But at the time it happened I J ad blossomed into creased trousers I nd a downy mustache and carried a |ane—had become, In short, quite a ' oung man of fashion and wholly dis I nclined to be treated as a kid. Now, i | .largery was a most aggravating miss gl j -and mischievous, and she declined fl vholiy to accept me In the role of a H oung gentleman of fashion, prefer jP ng to maintain the old relationship as jlijioy and girl. This was, as you can Hj l eadily conceive, a constant source of 9 innoyan.ee and humiliation to me, and fl I was in no playful mood when Mar ia gery’s cousin, hig and bronzed and 30, ■ and the possessor of a long and flow 9 ring black mustache, came out to visit H | Mat gery’s family. Then came a so li rles of odious comparisons—done al * ways In Margery’s laughing way and fl ) nably not Intended to hurt. But If ry did hurt and mortally. What HI; ’ng ctib of 20 with the first growth I' iown on his upper lip can see the ■I nor in comparisons with the flow I mustache of a full grown man? Hjj- id when on top of this the sweet ■g irt of your fondest dreams deliber v refuses to accept your Invitations f: appears places with a big, hand | p cousin with a piratical mustache, % an certainly is justified In taking 1 ■ al measures. it was just wnnn j was reeling my at that 1 met the widow. It was at . arty, to which, by the way, Margery f, i ad refused to accompany me, prefer |, ; -g to s«e the look of impotent rage | v.i ich adorned my face. As I stood I li.ling my nails and wishing most heartily that 1 was somewhere else, when glancing across the room I was CB 'v.led by a vision of lovliness which fail .y drove the blood back upon my heart. It seemed that I had never 1 teen eyes so black and saucy, a com | Jlcxion so richly olive, lips so red and full *>nd inviting, a chin so dainty and a form so altogether alluring. Well, I was formally Introduced and most gra ciously received. With the art of a clever woman—and a widow—she made me feel that I was a most Important personage In her eyes and that she liked me. 1 suppose that evening was the happiest I ever knew—unless I ex • ; t the evenings following. Her flat t iy was IneenBe to my spirit, wound ed as It was by Margery's conduct. Immediately I became the devoted slave of the widow. She was a few years older than I. but the manner In which ahe looked up to me and de ferred to my opinions convinced me that 1 was really her elder in knowl edge of the world and that she was but a clinging vine wholly dependent upon my strength and wisdom. Within a week I was wholly en ■laved. I could think of nothing, talk of nothing but the widow. By that time 1 was calling her Nellie at her own suggestion delicately conveyed. I was ruinously extravagant In flowers and theatres, and matters were pro gressing rapidly. My afTalr with Mar gery was forgotten, or, If remembered. It seemed wholly childish beside the fiery passion of my new love-making. And the love-making was all so easy. There was none of the embarrassment ■o constantly arising in my relations with Margery. The widow's plump little hand seemed so Invitingly near to mine at moments when it was pro pitious to give It a warm squeeze, and there were always so many perfect op portunities for quite tete-a-tetes. And those tete-a-tetes—there never were such delightful ones since the begin ning of time. The modest blushes and ■ighs of the widow nearly drove me 'r— ,, I.IB!'... '»■— nil .——'—St — Nellie. distracted with delight. I have sus ‘ " pected since that the widow was not so inodest and Ingenuous as she seemed— and yet U seems sacrilege even to sug gest It. I remember the first time I kissed her. It was several weeks after I met . her. She had been particularly invit ing and gracious and I had caught glimpses of the daintiest of ankles peeping from the daintiest of lingerie, , .. which I confess set me afire. She was • ■attired that night, too, in a gown that suggested every line of her faultless figure and kept my mind filled with visions of gathering her in my arms. As I arose to go I came pretty near doing It—even started toward her— but my timidity got the best of me and 1 drew back. Just then, in some un accountable manner she tripped and lurched toward me. Well, what could I do but throw out my arms to save her and In an instant I had that luscious morsel in my arms—and when she was securely there it all seemed so natural that I squeezed her tight and planted an ardent kiss full on her ripe lips. Her cheeks were aflame and she *rew several sharp breaths as she shrank from me, saying: "Oh, don’t, Fred, you mustn't. 1 really am afraid of you when you look like that.’’ But I only held her the tighter and rained kisses upon her. Then she sent me from her, telling me that she dared not trust herself with me longer. And I went home Intoxicated with her beauty and charms. Ah me, that was before Uncle Tom died, and Instead of leaving his mil lions to me as everybody expected and had been led to expect, endowed a col lege with them. And I went to work in an Insurance office, and somehow circumstances seemed to make it hard er to see the widow, especially alone, and we gradually drifted apart—and “Oh, don't, Fred, you musn’t!" only last week she married Nathaniel Sykes, tiO years old and worth three millions. 8HE IDENTIFIED THE 80UND. And Also Gave the Teacher Some Ex cellent Advice. The morning had drifted along until the teacher found herself opposite that period of time on her program, devoted to “phonics.” She noted (with sat isfaction) that she had progressed along the alphabetical way until she was in the Immediate vicinity of “S.” Now, one w o knows will tell you that there Is much satisfaction in resolving “S” Into its elemental counds. With many otVr let’ers the reverse is true. Take “D” for Instance. The impres sion conveyed to a sentive ear, whose owner is constrained to remain near a group of infants engaged in dissecting the letter “D” (according to approved phonetic formulae), is that the entire lot are meeting a horrible death by choking. Not so with “S.” That delightful letter absolutely wags its tall at the chance it affords the childish mind to revel In pleasant fancy. “And what do you think the sound of ‘S’ is like Jacob?” asked the teacher. Jacob (the school was in a suburb) thought it was like the sound the old gander made. The teacher smiled bril liantly and assented. Jacob, she re flected, was a child “of parts.” Otto Jumped to his feet and an nounced that “if you are down by the station yet, when the train comes in and stops you can hear It make a lot of ‘Ss.’ ” The teacher readily discerned the hissing nature of escaping steam and commended Otto. It remained, however, for Annio, skinny and dreamy-eyed, to evolve the definition that lived. “I toll you, teacher,” she piped, “when you put the hot poker in your beer it makes a noise like 'Ss.' ” Then, she sat down, only to rise again, and add: “But, teacher, never put the poker in your beer when it is summer , or it will make it go bad.”_ New York Times. Interposed John Kendrick Bangs. John Kendrick Bangs, riding in a Broadway surface car the other day, overheard two kindergarten young sters discussing the question that has been giving Mr. Kipling so much trou ble, viz., whether bananas grow up or down. “Well, Miss Harrison says they grow down,” said one tot, authori tatively. “And I’ve seen them growing up my ownself." said the other. It was a case of authority versus assurance, and the genial humorist diplomatically interposed. “You see,” said he, “the world is round. Bananas do grow down on one side the world, but on the other side they of course grow up. Don’t you see?” Imagination and Illness. An interesting experiment was re cently made by a Dr. Durand, In ref erence to the relative power of im agination of the two sexes. He gave to one hundred of his hospital pa tients a dose of sweetened water, and shortly afterwards entered the room, apparently greatly agitated, saying he had, by mistake, adminis tered a powerful emetic. In a few minutes four-fifths of the subjects were affected by the supposed emetic. These were mainly men, while all of those not affected were women. BRIEP BISPATCHC3. If you "soger” you’ll never make •' "tin.” Brass Is needed In the mamtfactun of gold. It Is only the loser who le permlttr to laugh. Three of a kind are not always . kind three. It Is easy for a man to be stralgh when he's flush. Many a girl thinks a four-flush i worth drawing to. It takes a toper to get the juice ou of the corn market. A corner in corn Is usually to bf found in a tight shoe. Humor is a butterfly which dlsai pears when you pin It down. The writer who explains too mu Insults the Intelligence of his reaib-i To appreciate a joke what is need' Is not a diagram, but a llttiJ gray m; ter. Many a man who takes a "hori finds himself coming out at the sma end. A girl has lost some of her wlnn ways when she loses her strait flush. * The financial sharp says that ma a man who Is short on the ma. ^et long on coin. When a woman is convinced t;. her speech Is silvery she usually ta at a sixteen-to-one rate. Snow takes the shine out of a s and Ice sometimes takes It out of i. man who wears the shoe.

A novelty in the way of an r •'rm clock has been perfected by an ' ,er Ican jeweler. It Is about the s.ze of a hazelnut. It is made to wear on the finger. The alarm is not a bell, but a sharp pin, which pricks the finger at the time the man or woman wishes to rise. Civilizing Too Rap! by. The attempt to assassi aie the em peror of Japan indicates that the Jap anese are getting along altogether too fast with their occidental civilization.

An interesting light on the subject of government ownership of railways comes from Victoria, Australia, where the 10,000 employes of the govern ment railway, defeated in an attempt to elect legislators who would raise their pay and shorten their hours, are threatening to strike. Evidently there Is no royal road to lndustricJ peace. Clever Scheme of Dressmakers. Two young women of Paris, finely featured and formed, travel around the fashionable resorts of Europe and live at the best hotels. They are al ways so well dressed that people in quire where they procured their cloth ing. This Is why they arc sent abroad and a French company of dressmakers pays all their expenses. The young women are well-behaved and at times are attended by a maid. Andrew Jackson’s Birthplace. The Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier insists that President Andrew Jackson was born on the South Caro lina side of the line dividing t at state from North Carolira. and that he always claimed South Carolina us bis native state. Pittsburg Steel Production. The production of steel at Pittsburg in 1901 equaled half that of England, was more than that of Germany, twice that of France, five times that of Rus sia or Belgium, and twenty-five times that of Spain.

Last year 300 deer and 200 wild boar, were killed in two days. \ Proverbs “ When the butter won’t come put a penny in the churn,” is an old time dairy proverb. It often seems to work though no one has ever told why. When mothers are worried because the children do not gain strength and flesh we say give them Scott’s Emul sion. It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it. Scott’s Emulsion is simply a milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants. For all weak and pale and thin children Scott’s Emulsion is the most satisfactory treat ment. We will send you the penny, I. e., a sample free. Be sure that this picture in the form of a label is on the wrapoer of every bottle of Emulsion you buy. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, 409 Pearl St., N. Y. Soc.andfi.oo; all druggiita.
