And the dragging hours have brought me Only some heartache and pain. As 1 turn my sad face homeward The night drops down from above. And my heart is yearning, yearning. For a touch of the arms I love— The arms that have never failed rae, The refuge to which I flee: All day, 'mid the jar of the city, I dream of them waiting for me— Dream of their rest and their welcome. After a daytime of rare; 0 arms outstretched In the gloaming, O arms of my easy-chalr! —Sara Beaumont Kennedy In Smart Set. The house was cold and cheerless. Even the cat howled dismally at the back door, preferring the atmosphere without Lemuel pulled his overcoat collar up around his ears, and drew his hat down to meet It. Then he seated him self in his »ccus;oraed chair at the dining table and surveyed the colla tion of cold scraps spread out before him. In their midst was a note from his wife. “Darling, I have the most awful con fession to make. But it Is not my fault and I know you will forgive me, and get me another. I am so sorry that you have not a hot dinner. Do relent and come to the sale. The men are all call ing It Searles’ sale. Isn’t that absurd? The dinner is hot and good. Do come for 25 cents. I am so sorry, but I could not help It, and you will forgive me, will you not?” He set his teeth resc'utely Into a piece of yesterday's roast. “I see myself down there to dinner. I’ve said I’d not set foot inside their blooming show, and I won’t.” Mr. Searles ate his lunch deliberate ly, fed the cat, poked the furnace, and started back to the bank. At the front door he hesitated. There hung Lillian’s house l.ey, for gotten. He must get it to her, but how? His dignity forbade his lnva. slon of Rogers block. “Hi, there, Sam!” yelled Searles. Sam returned with a skip when he saw his oft-tlme patron’s hand disap pearing Into his pocket. "Here, Sam, take this dime and this key, and give one of them to Mrs. Searles at the rummage sale.” Sam grinned, dropped the dime Into his pocket and disappeared. Just as Searles turned to go, a pair of trousers, hanging near the window, caught his eye. “By the great guns,” Searles com mented, “only $2.” Sam cwne around the corner. •Searles collared the youth, led him into the recess of the alley, thrust $5 into his hand, and some pointed direc tions Into his head. He was to keep his mouth shut and bring the bundle straight to the bank. Twenty-five minutes later Searles learned that his bargain was too short in the legs, and too tight In t.h^ band. He had likewise seen himself standing on tip toe, craning his neck muffs," he grumbled, and re turned to his paper. The next day Searles and his dress suit case repaired to the city, only to find that the way of the transgressor Is hard. The tailor shook his head over the trousers. He feared that when the garment was enlarged the old seams would show. Searles went up the following week, according to Instructions, and found a pair of uncomfortably tight trousers, with long, faded streaks conspicuously showing themselves a quarter of an inch from every seam. Long advised his customer to allow him to send the garment around the corner to a dyer, who would make the entire garment one shade darker and so eoneeal the streaks. t Searles asked the price of the sug gested treatment, shut his teeth, and said, “Take ’em.” The tailor followed him to the door. “I forgot to tell you that I was obliged to reline them throughout, as the old lining was so worn.” Searles half way down the stairs made a remark. The tailor did not hear distinctly, but accepted it as a pleasant “Good day," and returned it. One week later Searles was seated in the train, homeward bound. At his feet stood his dress-suit case, contain ing a pair of elegant dark blue trou sers, which proved themselves a “close call," the dyeing process having “Lemmy, what is the matter?” shrunken them. Their weary owner was employed In itemizing on the back of an old letter. Series added the column three times. Than, tearing up the envelope, he scattited it piece by piece, along eighteen miles of track. He hoped the distance w >»ld effectively separate those items. He carried bis suit case home, re flecting on his blessings. Three weeks had elapsed since the sale, and he had not heard one word concerning his share in it. The trousers were so near ly new that he would not have to tell his wife a lie about them, and, after all, they were a bargain. In this amiable frame of mine he walked into his library. Lillian had just come in. She was warming ten small, plump, red fingers over the grate. She exhibited each chilly digit to him in turn. The muff had not been recovered. “Want to see my new trousers?" asked Searles, cheerfully, wishing to change the subject. He shook out the trousers in all their freshn*s» and folds, and swung them before his wife’s eyes. She merely vouchsafed them a glance. “How much did they cost?” Lemuel had anticipated this ques tion, hence the figuring on the train. “Just $15 at Long's,” he replied glibly. Mrs. Searles took hold of the hem of one leg gingerly. She elevated her nose. “Ugh, how they smell!” Searles knew that the odor was due to the recent dyeing, but all he said was: “Store smell on the cloth, prob ably.” HIb wife picked up the other trouser leg. She evinced a coming interest. She turned the legs over and tried the quality of the cloth. She examined the hems and gazed at the seams with a critical eye. Then she raised her childish blue eyes to her husband's face. “Lemmy, how can you tell such stories? They were marked just two dollars. I thought at the time it was ridiculously cheap, because I remem ber you paid just J20 for them, and then grew stout so fast that you real ly never wore them much.” Searles reached for a chair and sat down weakly. . . - tiousers fell on the floor in a heap. Us own old trousers! And he, Lemuel Searles, banker, had —he groaned aloud. “Lemmy, what is the matter?” “Lillian, you have one strong point, for which I am very thankful! You never see a joke.” Lillian looked puzzled, and Lemuel thoughtful. His eyes fell on her red hands. His face became animated. “Lily, how w:,old you like to go up to the city to-morrow and look at muffs?” “Oh, ■> eramy!” “Anc? ‘i collar-” t “Lera, my!” \ r. “Of sealskin-" 4 . “You darling!" “You shall have ’em both if yott will do me a little favor-” “I’ll do anything in the world for you." “But this is something you are not to do—you are not to tell.”—Alice Louise Lee in Boston Globe.

F. A. WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, 8AY8: Baltimore, Md., March 30, 1901. Gentlemen : — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used nt your discretion. About five years ago my right car began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, and even that Only temporarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in n New York paper, and ordered your treat* ment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you heartily and beg to remain Very truly yours, F. A. WERMAN, 730S- Broadway, Baltimore, Md.
