My Refuga.
The flay has been long anil dreary,
With ceaseless patter of rain.
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 <nto a
back window of the Rogers bock. And
even as he had seen himself, some one
else proorbly had seen him. There
was the rub.
Still, those trousers were "cod and
could be made better. If th° 3‘-vy of
their purchase gof out he ce id invite
the jokers to vie*"' a pair of elegant
new trousers—at least, they would be
elegant when overhauled by his tailor
up in the city. He should go to-mor
row.
Having thus fortified himself against
attack, he went home, and met a sol
emn little wife. Searles' heart sank
the moment he looked at her. The
story of his method of attending the
sale was probably all over town and
this was the way it affected Lillian.
Lillian could never take a joke.
Lillian sat on his knee and said:
“Lemmy, why don’t you ask me to
confess?”
“Confess!” exclaimed Searles in sur
prise.
A tear rolled down her cheek.
“You didn’t even read my note.”
Seated himself in his accustomed
chair at ths dining table.
A light broke in on Searles. He be
gan to laugh.
“It’s no laughing matter to lose
your muff,” sobbed Lillian. "Oh, Lem
my, it’s awful. I laid it, down at the
sale—it cost $26—and some one made
a mistake, and sold it for 25 cents,
and we can’t find it. Oh. dear! Oh,
dear!”
Searles forgot his trousers. He
threw his head back and roared.
“I can’t see anything to laugh at,”
observed his wife, her tones muffled
by his coat front.
But Lemuel suddenly hardened his
heart now that the trousers scare was
over.
-- A .
can't afford lo lu:. i...mnage sales
ou $2f> 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!”

DEAFNESS OR HARD HEARING
ARE NOW CURABLE
by our new invention. Only those bom deaf are incurable.
HEAD NOISES CEASE IMMEDIATELY.
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.
