Cherry Blossom She Devoted Herself to Curing Domestic lrrits4ion - By F. A. MITCBEL Copyright by American Freu Asso ciation, 1911. "Dear," said Jlrs. Tucker when rum maging in her husband's desk, "what's this?" "What's what?" ' , "Why,., this card Miss Cherry Bios som, domestic healer?" ; ' The husband smiled. Tbenjhe went to bis wife and encircled her waist with an arm. The wife looked up at him, and he kissed her. . "Thereby hangs a tale," be said, re ferring to the card, , "Tell it." ' ' . "You remember the summer when you went to B., leaving me to keep heqjse by myself through July and August We quarreled at the house before leav ing it, and at the station as the train moved off our last words were snarls," "I knew perfectly well that you were merely going away to be where you could be at peace, and L tired with our quarrels, was satisfied to have you go, though a desolate summer was before ire. If I could have kept the children I would not have been so lonely. "That evening when I came home to a lonely dinner I found some mail on the table in the ball, mostly advertise ' SHI HANDED MB A PKINTED BfcAHK. ments. Opening one of the envelopes, I found that card. With it was a cir cular giving some information about Miss Blossom's field of labor. I can't remember the language in which it was expressed, but the gist of it was that she devoted herself to healing family breaches between parents and children,; husbands and wives, broth ers, sinters, relatives and friends. "I wondered if she could help us. I was so miserable that, though I ex pected she was a charlatan and would take my money without doing me any good, I pondered over the matter till bedtime, then came to a resolution: 'I will try this last expedient, and. If it fails, when Florence returns she will not find me here. I wil' have gone elsewhere and have insrtuted divorce proceedings. Thett I wrote Miss Blos soni;fK!:!sar hcr-to call upon me the "next evening, since her Circular stated that she had no . consulting : rooms. Then I went out, posted my note and sank to sleep, feeling that I had a mor sel of hope. . The next evening after I had finish ed my dinner and bad had a smoke the doorbell rang, and Miss Blossom ap peared. At first I took her to be about sixteen years old, but soon Judged by tier intellectual vigor that she was at least ten years older. I have never seen a more genial countenance on any tinman being. I was ready to give her my confidence at once, and I did so. X told her that you and I did not get on, but refcfltned from telling her why. Indeed, she didn't ask me why. She listened to all I said, but did not seem much interested in It and appeared to be waiting for me to finish. When I bad done so she banded me a printed blank, saying that she never took a case for any one who would not sign It I read it and found that It bound the client to be guided solely and whol ly by Miss Blossom in everything per taining to her treatment so long as he or she remained under It I signed the paper and paid her a retaining fee. Then she asked me where you were, bow long you would be gone, etc.. I told her that you had gone to B., and she said that your being away from me would give her an opiiortunlty to study you alone, after which she would need to study us together. She needed a Tacation, would go to B., make your acquaintance and determine what sort 'f,K I I il l 1 I ( I of woman you were. drew a check for her expenses and sent her swsy. My curiosity st least was excited, and the young wo man was so methodical in what she did that I really fancied she might get at the canse of our disagreements and enable us to correct them. Miss Blos som spent two weeks at B., met you frequently and" i "1 never saw any such person." ' ' . "She didn't even make your ac quaintance. She told W it was not necessary. Indeed, she usually prefer red to study her subjects without so acquaintance, finding them less on their guard before a stranger than ons who knew them. When she came" back" " ' "What did she say about me?" " "Not ajword.. She neither told me that 1 hud drawn a prize lor a blank in the matrimonial lottery. She in formed me that she could do nothing more UH your return, when she would make arrangements, to observe us when we were together." ; . "Was she a little wizened up thing with her mouth full of gold teeth?" "No." a ' ' "Then there was a one eyed creature at B. that summer who" v "I'm sure you could not guess who was' Miss Blossom. She told me that she was never about you, always main taining a distauce. , : - "But, to go on with my story, that and you returned. We kissed coldly, asked each other perfunctorily what ' kind of a summer each had spent; then !you busied yourself unpacking,, w;hlle j I hugged the children and consoled myself for my failure to elicit a loving J word from you with their innocent - prattle. '". :'. ' "You had not been long at home be ; fore Miss Blossom wrote me that she i did not need to study us together since ' she had : studied you separately and one of her deputies had been studying I .me during your absence. She was " therefore ready to commence her treat ment or, rather, to continue it. for it had really begun when I had called her iu ' professionally. The first pre scription she would give me was this: 'Whenever you have a disagreement with your wife, instead of pursuing it tisli yourself if you could not have pre- rented it by silence, a soft word, a Joke or some other genial expedient In other words, for the fault look with in yourself.' : ".'By Jover I exclaimed on reading this. 'If she can only get Florence to act on that with me I won't need the prescription.' i "Then the absurdity of attributing ail the fault to you occurred to me, and T, laughed." ' s.- . i "Why, do you know.' dear," the wife I interrupted, "that seamstress I bad for i two weeks after my summer at B. said the yery same thing to me that your domestic healer said to youl" I - "l wonder," remarked the husband reflectively, "if she could have been a : deputy."-. :.' ... .( i ' "And I told her that 1 wished some one would ,make that remark to my husband." , ; ! . . v: "Did you?' "Was . that all the treatment your clever Miss. Blossom gave us?". "I don't know. I wonder if it was." "Did you ever learn the identity of the deputy who observed jrou during the summer I was at B.?" ;. i "No. and I don't believe 1 was ob served." - . "Are you sure Miss Blossom went to B. fend studied me?" ; : "No; I'm not"1 "What was the rest of the treat ment?"; " . : . ' "Why, Miss Blossom wrote me once every week to ask me Jf we had had any quarrels ;and ; if ; so . whether I could not have', prevented them by act ing in accordance with her prescrip- tion: mind, and I acted upon it constantly. After three or four weeks I replied to her query that we hadn't bad any dis agreements." : "Now I think of lt.w the wife broke In again, "that Miss Harding, the seamstress,' who had sewed for me, was about that time continually com ing to see me to ask if J couldn't get her some work or on some trivial mat ter. I do believe tbey were all pretexts, for every time she called she asked me how I was getting on as to the matter of which we had spoken and always ended by saying 'people can't quarrel if tbey will keep their eyes fixed on their own faults.' " , "Flo," said the husband Impressively, at the same time pulling his mus tache with vigor, "I've got an idea." "What is It?" V ' "That you and I made two big Jack anapes of ourselves. I paid that con sarned woman $25 as a retaining fee, (150 for an outing, which she doubt less took at some other place thnn B., and a bill of $200 more for 'profes sional services.' And what did si e do? Crammed Into onr empty put- what any ordinary fool should know " "Why. It's In the Bible. Isn't It?" . "That about picking the beam out Of your own eye Inpter.d of picking a mote out of your brother's eye?" -, "Surely." ' , "Well. I'll lie Jlpgem'.r They hung their bends for a few moments; then the wife rr.ld: "Bot, joii'vo had fin Idea: now 1 have one." -What is ttr "That that Miss Blossom Is nobody's fool "If she did swindle us." t "Swludle us? I don't think she did. Doctors who cram drugs down . peo ple's throats, not knowing what is the matter with them, and charge them big fees for doing so may be liable to that charge, but this woman actu ally cured us." .' "Indeed she did." "And tf she- hadn't charged me a big fee I wouldn't have acted on her advice. I paid her so much money that I was bound to get the worth of it And I got the worth of It. That was the cheapest cure I ever bought. J wouldn't give back what I got for tej times the amount I paid. Miss Bios som Is a brick. Let's Invite her to din. ner.M - . - , "Let's."- . ,.'...;';.:.;' ', Miss Blossom was Invited to dinner She accepted and sat between the pa tients wreathed In smiles. Then she gave them another surprise. Though poor, she gave all her fees, reserving only enough for her maintenance, to the poor. . .;' ' . ENGLISH OPPOSE BIG FIGHT. Think Johnson-Walls Bout Slaughter . : and May Call It Off. . Opposition to the proposed "fight" between Jack Johnson and England's alleged champion. Bombardier Wells, is increasing to such a degree that the promoters may decide to declare It off English sporting critics say that Wells hasn't had sufficient ring experience to tackle the grinning negro, who stands to draw down a small fortune for his" end of this affair. , In pointing out reasons why Wells cannqt hope to make a respectable showing if Johnson tries, attention is called to the Interesting fact that Ed die McGoorty of Oshkosh. Wis.. S" middleweight outpointed Petty Officer Curran in a twenty round bout in Dublin. Then Curran knocked out the .much abused Gunner Moir in two rounds, and, sad to relate, Moir put Wells to sleep in three rounds. On that Sort of pugilistic dope .It's no wonder thnt Englishmen do ! not relish the Johnson-Wells match, so called. SHERIDAN TRAINING HARD. Graat Athlsts Trying to Rid Himsslf of Soma Extra Weight : For the first time since he last work ed to fit himself for the all round championships Martin Sheridan, who is rated as the greatest athlete In the world, is down to real hard training. Sheridan has taken up his abode at Celtic park. New York, and is working faithfully to get rid of some of the extra weight that he has accumulated during .the past twelve months. In less than two weeks' time Martin has shaken off twelve pounds, and, being full ' of enthusiasm, it is more than likely that he will easily get down to a weight that will enable him to be spry in the discus circles once more.
