"I had a patient who was very ill and ; who ought to have gone to a warmer { climate , so I resolved to try what hyp- , notism would do for him. I had a I large sun painted on the ceiling of his room and .suggestion induced him to think it was the sun which would cure him. The ruse succeeded and he was getting better rapidly when I , one day on my arrival I found he was - dead. " "Did it fail , after all , then ? " asked i , one of the doctor's hearers. "No , " replied the doctor , "he died of sunstroke. " . The Dentist's Joke. At a recent dinner of the Author's club in London to Mr. Owen Seaman , the editor of Punch , lIr.Valter : Emanuel , another member of the staff Of Punch , referred to the fact that the man with the largest sense of humor he ; had ever struck was an Englishman -a dentist. He went to him , after suf - fering long with the toothache. He re fused to have gas , and the dentist pulled out a tooth , leaving him writh- ing in pain , and took the tooth to the window , where he laughed quite heart. ily. He groaned , "What's the joke ? " "Wrong tooth , " said the dentist. Carrying His Audience With Him. Nobody was more witty or more bit ter than Lord Ellenborough.

"Captain Pollock , " he blurted out , , suddenly , "I haven't a doubt that you fere telling the truth. I don't care whose Jeon I you are , I like you anyhow ! " And i : then snatching his hands from his pockets he held them out to Pollock , , demanding with a gruff kindness , "Will you : shake hands with me ? " "Certainly , Mr. Merriam. " A few hours later the usual crowd lounged in the smoking-room of the Tlppecanoe Club. Pollock had just fin- ished telling a story when Rodney Mer riam appeared In the doorway. The old gentleman advanced upon the little group , returning their greetings and thanking them all for the proffer of their seats. "Gentlemen , " he said , standing by his chair , "I wish to make you an ex- planation. Owing to an unfortunate misunderstanding , due wholly to my own stupidity , I recently showed Cap- tain Pollock a slight In this club. I wish to make the amplest possible ex- piation- " "This is wholly unnecessary , " ex- claimed Pollock , rising. "This Is whol- ly uncalled for , Mr. Merriam. " "I wish to say before all of you , " . MarrIam continued , "that I was wholly in the wrong , and that Captain Pollock is a gentleman , who is an honor to his friends and to his profession. " And the next day , In the same spirit of scrupulous honor , Rodney Merriam sought his nieces at The Beeches and . made his peace with them. CHAPTER XIV. I LeIghton always hated himself for I laughing at Balcomb , whose loquacity was so cheap it was pathetic. Every- thing Balcomb knew he used constant- ly. At the college to which he referred In terms of raillery or contempt he had picked the nearest and gaudiest flow ers ; but he wore them all in an amaz- ing bouquet that did not fail to Im- press many of his acquaintances as the real bloom of learning. Leighton was not at all glad to see Balcomb one night His friend's eternal freshness palled upon him. But it did not occur to Balcomb that Leighton mighf not be delighted to have him for a travel- Ing companion. He thought his con- versation was shortening the distance for Leighton. Balcomb had been mak- ing 'social history fact.He had , In his own phrase , "butted In" ; and since the performance of "Deceivers Ever" he had been Included in most of the gath- erings of the Dramatic Club circle. "I say , old man , " he began , abrupt- ly , as the car skimmed through a strip of woodland , "just between old college friends , what's your game , anyhow ? Which is it ? " "Which Is what ? " demanded Leigh- ton , who had been enjoying a moment with his own thoughts , while Balcomb stared out upon the darkling land- scape. "Which girl , I mean ? There are two out here. " Leighton took off his hat and laugh- ed. ed."I "I haven't decided yet , " he said , pres- ently , with an irony that was quite lost on Balcomb. "I'm a good fellow , though , and I'll take the one you leave. " "Miss Dameron's certainly a peach iumpllng , all right. But say , the lit - , tIe cousin's a gem of purest ray se- i rene. She ain't so stand-offish , some way , as her cousin ; she jollies easier. " "I think I've noticed that" - - and the Tony this time was meant for himself. "They say olives are a cultivated taste , " persisted Balcomb ; "but laws : > ' , I [ knew right away that girl was a good thing. : And to think that she has to teach : a' lot of grimy little muckers how to cook. " "It Is too bad , Isn't It ? But I don't think : you need be sorry for her. " "She's as proud as Lucifer. Here's our stop. " , The two men jumped out into the highway and started for the Dameron 'arm. "I think a man ought to marry ear- ly , " Balcomb announced , as they tramped along the road. "There's lothlng like a woman and a home to put snap Into a man , " he continued , no- , ly. "A man fools away a whole lot of noney : In his bachelor days. Doing so- : lal : stunts Is expensive. : Have you .ny idea what my carriage bill was last Jarch ? Eighty-four dollars ! I hon- sstly believe it would pay me to own a lack. But , I say , the man who will Irag a girl to the theater In a street car : : : Is fit for treason , strategems and he ; stone pile. It ain't enough to put em on four wheels when it's snowing ; no , I make a specialty of hacks under he : starry hosts of heaven , and eke the tale and haughty moon. There's no tetter way than that to get solid with is girl. There are some that put their aith : in bonbons and a new novel now nd then ; but there isn't a girl in Mar- ona to-night that wouldn't rather go to ; see a good show in comfort than do I .uything else under the sun. I say , I bout haeks , don't give It away , but 've : just got a transfer company pass -Wilson , the president , and I are pret- y thick , and I do a little quiet work 'or the company occasionally. I help- ed ! 'em beat the vehicle tax before the Jouncil last winter , and I have an an- ual now that gives me power of life nd death over all the company's roll- ng stock night and day. And you bet won't use it or anything ! " Leighton's silence did not disturb lalcomb ; he talked for the joy it gave 1m. They reached the Dameron gate nd followed the winding path toward he veranda. "Ahoy , 0 bower of beauty ! " Balcomb ailed : cheerily when they were within ailing distance of the veranda. Friends draw near bringing tfdlngs. " , On the veranda , as Balcomb's volca o upon the air two girlg fell s O . . _ T " . _ , ' .

"If you yell at them again , they'll undoubtedly bolt , " said Leighton , whose thoughts since they had left the car had been far away from Balcomb's babble. "If you're .not afraid of the June- bugs , we'll stay here , " said Zelda , when she and Olive had shaken hands with the men. "There's nothing better ; It's the cen- ter of the universe right here , " ' Bal- comb declared. "I brought some poi- son for the June-bugs with me. I will place it on yonder rail , lest we forget , lest we forget" This was Balcomb's happy idea of minimizing the value of his gift. He was relieved to find that Pollock was not there , and as it was past the usual calling hour In the latitude and longI- tude of Mariona , the army officer was not likely to appear. Ever since the unpleasant incident on the stairway at the Athenaeum building , Balcomb hail been in the undignified attitude of dodging Captain Pollock , though he had said , during Pollock's absence from town , exceedingly cruel things about the officer. : Mr. Dameron came out and shook hands with the young men , address ing a few words to each. Balcomb had called upon him repeatedly in reference to the purchase of the tract of land on the creek , but without encourage ment. Dameron had just been wonder- ing how he could communicate with the promoter without seeking him directly , and this call gave him an opportunity. "By the way , Mr. Balcomb , " said the old man , pleasantly , "some time when you are passing , I'd be glad If you'd , call : at my office. There's a matter " . f I mutual Interest that I'd like to speak I to you about. A beautiful night , gen- tlemen. Very much cooler here than in the city , as you may have noticed. " And he went down the steps and out upon the highway for his usual even- ing walk. ' "A remarkable man , your father , Miss : Dameron. He's quite the Ideal business man of the old school , " saiQ Balcomb. "We youngsters are quicker on the trigger , but our aim isn't jo sure. No , siree ; your father is an ideal business man. " He had spoken impressively. He would , In his own language , "make himself solid" when he had a chance. Leighton was talking to Olive , and Balcomb set about entertaining , Zelda. He ran on monotonously. He was anx- ious to make an Impression at once wIthout. relinquishing the floor. "I suppose you and Miss Merriam do a lot of reading out here. What are the books to " one ought talk about ? "We don't read much-except the cook-books , " replied Zelda. "Ha ! ha ! That Is rich-from the great Miss Dameron , too. I like that ! I suppose as a matter of fact you real- ly spend your morning with the clas- sics. " "I'm sorry to disappoint you , but. our mornings are spent with cook-b aks. My cousin is writing a cook-book and we're reading all the old ones to be sure hers is all new. It's delightfully exciting. " "Wouldn't that Jar one ? I say , I want to speak right now for an auto- graph copy of the first edition of that book. " ' "Olive will be delighted , " said Zel- da. "It's designed , you know , for the very young. " "There it goes again. Everybody has it in for me ! Oh , well ! My time will come ! " It came In an unexpected way. Cap- tain Pollock was riding up the drive- way. He was on very good terms lit The Beeches , and had been told that while there were lights there was a hope of finding some one at home. "Here comes ' another messenger bearing tidings , " said Balcomb , in his most cheerful note. "I hope it isn't bad news. " "No ; It's Captain Pollock. That horse of his is a beauty , Isn't It ? I wish he would trade with me , " an- swered Zelda. Leighton groaned inwardly at the sight of Pollock , whom he liked well enough ordinarily. He did not under- stand the reason for Balcomb's hur- ried flight , so that the humor of the situation did not strike him. "You may have Mr. Balcomb's seat there by the railing , if you like , " said Zelda to Pollock. "You do me too much honor , " said the officer , as he shook hands with Leighton. "Oh , I don't know ! " and Olive's imi- tation of Balcomb's Intonation was so true to life that they all laughed. , "I don't see why any one should laugh , " said Zelda. "I'm sure I don't , " declared Pollock. He put back his arm against the rail I ing , knocking down the box of candy that : Balcomb had left behind him. "Ah , I beg everybody's pardon ! " "Mr. Balcomb's feelings might be hurt if he came back , " suggested Zel- la. "He won't com back ; I'll wager an- other box he won't , " replied the offl- ever , blandly , as he fumbled with the string. "Miss Dameron , permit me - 'm : sure they're delicious. Chocolates , I ! fancy , from the bonquet-and , Miss : MerrIam , you will not decline. Mr. Leighton , a little candy now and then ls relished by the wisest men. I pro- pose Mr. Balcomb's health , to be eaten sitting and in silence. " 'It Isn't polite to treat the gift of a parting guest in that way , " protested Olive"I'm surprised at you Captain Pollock. " When a man Is in love , he becomes a naster : of harmless deceit and subter- [ uge. Morris Leighton had sought telda ; ' Dameron to-night with a great : icpe In his heart He did not Intend to miss a chance to talk to her alonn , .t he could help it. He had taken her wrap from her , and purposely dropped it ; and he seemed to have difficulty In Lndlng it , although it wai a white ( , . - ' l . , " - . . ( . . . - - - t tblny that one could not mlas In the moonlight , unless one were blind. But Zelda paused when they reached Pol lock's horse , which whinnied and put out Its nose to her in a friendly way. As they reached the road , which lay white In the moonlight , Ezra Dameron came toward them , walking slowly , hat in hand , and the two watched him- his queer shuffling walk , his head bent , has gray hair touched with the silver of the moonlIght. "Won't you come with us , father ? " said Zelda , as they met in the road. "No ! no , I thank you , Zee. I have had my little constitutional. Don't go too far-there may be malaria abroad. " Leighton looked furtively at Zelda. She had greeted her father kindly , hap- pily : ; but there was something repel- lant in Ezra Dameron. Leighton never felt , it more than to-nIght. That such a girl should have a father so wretched , seemed impossible ; but the thought quickened his love for her. There was something fine in her conduct toward her father ; her unfailing gentleness and patience with him had impressed Leighton from the time of her home- coming. She made a point of speaking of him often and always with respect. Leighton was-well aware that no one else , . with the single exception of Mi chael Carr , ever spoke of Ezra Damer on in anything but derision. Rodney Merriam never mentioned him at all , which was doubtless the safer way. . Farther along the road Pollock and Ol- ive were tentatively singing a popular song of the hour. , "Sing It all-don't pick at it that way , " called Zelda. "Sing it yourself , if you don't Ilka , it , " came back the answer from Olive. "There Is only one song that I should care to hear to-night , " said Leighton , after a moment of silence. "It's the only song that ever meant a great deal .to me. " "Oh , I know ! One of Herr Schmidt's from his great operatic triumph-'of ' last winter. Your taste is only fair , then. " "It goes back a little farther than that. It's Traume-Tristan and Isolde , wasn't it ? Do you remember ? " "I have heard it sung , beautifully , In Berlin , " she said , evasively. "I never did. But I heard you sIng . ( it once , and it has haunted me. " "Is that the one ? " she asked. "Yea ; it is about dreams. " "That is the one I meant. It is the most wonderful thing in the world ! Yes , it's only about dreams-a dream ; but it's the sweetest dream In'the world , it means- " "A dream ! " and she laughed , but It was a mirthless little laugh. He paused and looked out over tha moonlit cornfield ; his heart was beat- ing fast. She felt for a moment that she must turn and fly from him ; but he started forward again and she fol- lowed. "It is more than a dream. , I am building upon it as though it were a veritable rock. " " build the real ? "A dream-to upon The architects of fate don't like that plan , do they ? " "But we must hold to our dreams , " he said , soberly. "I suppose we must , even though they are things of air that only lead us astray. I didn't think you were senti- mental. I'm afraid I can't sympathize exactly , for sentiment was left out of me utterly ; " and she hated herself for ' the bravado with which she spoke. "I can't believe that ! Every on9 has it. I'm a thoroughly practical per- son , and yet I have my dreams-my dream ! " Olive and Pollock were singing again. They were far In advance and their voices stole softly upon the night Zelda stopped to listen. Her heart was In ! a tumult of happiness and wonder. The splendor of the moonlight upon the fields about them , the gloomy shad- ow of the woodland beyond , the man beside her hesitating , yet ready to tell her of his love. There stole across her spirit the tremulous awe of a girl to whom love has come for the first timo as it can never come again. Leighton drew close to her. . "Zelda , " he said , "Zelda ! " "No. Oh , no ! You must not ! " she cried. "I love you , Zelda ! " he sale ! . "No ; you must not say it ! " And there was a sob that caught her throat. "You are the dream. It is too sweeti , I' can not lose It-I must not" "You have talked of dreams and : love , " she said , hurriedly , but with a lingering note of contempt on the last word that stung hlfh as though she had struck him in the face. I wonder what love is ! " and hastened away to- ward her cousin and Pollock who waited , idly and trying their voices and chaffing each other over their fail ure to carry a tune. ( To be continued. ) Characteristic National Meal. : It is not only in Scotland that breakfast is the characteristic nation- al meal. Travel where you may , the first meal of the day is the one that strikes the foreign note , luncheon and dinner having gradually absorbed cos- mopolitan qualities that are not even confined to hotels. But you - \ never feel BO much of an Englishman , says a : London paper , as when Switzerland I gives you rolls and butter and honey , I and nothing more , with your coffee ; J or when France makes this into one 1 exquisite crumbling "croissant , " with 1 an inch or two from a yard-long loaf , or when Denmark adds cream instead of milk to the coffee and a dangerous piece of pastry to the black bread and round white roll. Yet the Englishc c . breakfast became an Institution only In the eighteenth century. Before that only royalty breakfasted off meat , I bread and cheese and ale. The com moner , such as Pepys , took merely a 1 morning draught of buttered ale. Touchy. .

Wife May Find Helpful These Hot Summer Days. Here are some suggestions to the < housewife who has to put up lunches : for the midday meal : Cold baked beans with brown bread and baked apples. Mayonnaise of cold fish with graham "oread and lettuce. Pecan and celery sandwiches sea- soned with onion juice. Potato salad with sandwiches made of hard boiled eggs. Corned beef with rye bread , horse- radish and shredded cabbage. Cold chops of pork , lamb or mutton wrapped in wax paper. Apple sauce or stewed prunes with gingerbread or molasses cookies. Broiled salmon with chopped celery and mayonnaise with white bread. Sausage sandwiches with pickled onions and whole wheat or rye bread. Cottage cheese sandwiches with pickled beets and entire wheat bread. For a wholesome and nutritious sweet stuff dates with peanuts or .al- auts. Lettuce leaves between slices of white bread thickly spread with pea- nut butter. Salads of every kind make desira ble additions to lunch baskets and may be carried safely if packed in covered jelly or marmalade jars. fO MAKE DELICIOUS ICE Orange Granite Is a New One - MOP Cooling Than Creams in Summer. Six oranges , a pint of orange Juice a pound of sugar and a quart of wa ter-these are the materials needed to make a delicious ice. Ices are more cooling than creams in the summer , because the water and sugar and fruit juices digest far more easily and quickly than cream and milk. To make the granite , boil the water and sugar together for five minutes. Peel tha oranges , separate the sections , remove seeds : : : , white skin , and every bit of connecting tissue. Throw the pieces of fruit into the hot syrup , stand aside for an hour to cool , and then drain the syrup into the ice cream freezer , add the orange juice and freeze. When frozen stiff mix in the piece ' ) f orange , and serve in glasses. Mexican Kisses. Put into a saucepan two cupfuia nrated maple sugar or maple syrup and one-half cupful milk. Cook gently until a little dropped in cold water ' /ill ball if rubbed between the fingers. It [ will take ten minutes or a little less to reach this stage. Stir constant- ly while boiling , as it scorches easily. Add a heaping teaspoonful of butter , and as soon as melted remove from the fire and beat steadily until the mixture looks creamy and slightly granulated. Stir in at once a pound of English walnuts , broken ( not chopped ) into small pieces. Beat hard and turn into buttered tins to harden. You can ' use brown sugar if you have no genuine maple , but add a tea- spoonful of the maple flavor that can be purchased at any of the large gro- eries. ' For Salty Soup. . If your soup is found too salty , add a few slices of raw potatoes and cook i little longer. The potato will absorb the surplus salt. It will save time if a frying pan or griddle is wiped with a piece of old newspaper to remove the surplus grease before it is washed. Some people like the unsweetened juice [ of a pineapple added to mayon naise , especially when the mayon- naise is used on a fruit salad. Boil dried beef a few minutes In water to remove the salt and to make It [ tender. Put the beef into hot but. ter : , fry brown , make gravy with flour md ! milk , boil for a minute and serve ; with small pieces of toast. Lancaster Pickles. Two quarts onions , two quarts cu cumbers , two quarts cauliflower or cabbage , two or three green peppers ( take seeds out ) . Chop all fine , or put through ; food chopper , and let stand in brine over night. Drain and scald in weak vinegar , with a lump of alum in it. [ When cold pour off vinegar and add dressing : Ten cents' worth of mustard , one-half ounce celery seed , ne > cupful of flour , one gallon of vine- gar , two cupfuls of sugar. Add all the ingredients. Bring to a boil and seal ; tight. This is fine with meat. Grapefruit Hint. The grape fruit for breakfast should be cut in half the night before , the seeds all carefully removed , and sugar sprinkled over the fruit , which should then ; be placed in the refrigerator ver night. The result is a delicious ! fruit for breakfast , sans all bitter. less. [ . Spiced Grape Jelly. Eight quarts of grapes picked from stem , one quart of vinegar ( if strong , Ulute : ) , two ounces of Cinnamon bark , one ounce of whole cloves. Cook well , . strain , let stand over night , strain .gain. To one pint of juice use one pint of sugar. Asparagus Shortcake. Make a white sauce and add small ! pieces of cooked asparagus , pour this over some large baking powder bisI ruits split hot , serve with hard boiled - . ) eggs cut up. . - - - - . . - - - WELL QUALIFIED.

NOT SLEEP - "I write to tell you how thankful I t- am for the wonderful Cuticura Remr - edies. My little niece had eczema for five years and when her mother died I took care of the child. It was all over her face and body , also on her head. She scratched so that she could not sleep nights. I used Cuticura Soap to wash her with and then ap plied Cuticura Ointment I did not use quite half the Cuticura Soap and Ointment , together with Cuticura Re- ! solvent , when you could seo a change and they cured her nicely. Now she Is eleven years old and has never been , bothered with eczema since. My : friends think It Is just great the way the baby was cured by Cutiouna. I send you a picture taken when she was about 18 months old. "She was taken with the eczema when two years old. She was covered with big sores and her mother had all the best doctors. and tried all kinds of salves and medicines without effect until we used Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. : H.
