LOVE AND LAUNDRY Br JOSEPH LANE Cbnvrtcht. 1908. by P. C. Esstmenl "If you keep on having deaths la the family at this rate, you will kill tnein all off before the end of a year and have to marry Into another family to get more relative to klU," warned Freeman as ho regarded the woman who was supposed to keep his apart' nients In order. The ebony face opened wide in a guf faw. Cynthia regarded Freeman as a ' rare Joker. ' 'DeetV she protested, "I didn't lose no fatnbly. It was my lies" lady." Her U'le k! done rot married yesterday." "Well, dou't let It happen again." ho warned. "Give the rooms a good clean ing today." Cynthia wriggled first on one foot, theu an the other. "I doan' can do no clean in" today,"'' she protested. "Dis my young lady day. I jes come for " your wash. She tole me I could wash yours there." . "If yon mean you are going to do my lamndry on some one else's gas range, be careful that you get a!) my things back." Cyatliia, with ssany voluble protesta tions, escorted him to the door and re turned to the apartment to gather op the soiled clothes, and Freeman went downtown to work. Things all went wrong that day, and when he came home In the evening he went to the top drawer, where from a photograph and a handkerchief he was wont to draw comfort The girl in, the photograph smiled tip at him, but the handkerchief was gone, and, though he turned out the contents of every draw er, he could not find It. With an odd sense of foreboding be sat down to think It over. Freeman was of an unusually sensitive tempera ment, and the loss of the handkerchief seemed to him to be an omen. Bmie bad worn It when he had gone to say goodby before he had started for the city, and she had given it to him to wrap the photograph in when he slipped It Into his pocket It had been his talisman, and the faint perfume that he knew so well cleared his brain of worries. Now It was gone, just as Bessie had gone. There was something uncanny In its disappearance, and It seemed to him f presage evil. She had dropped utterly from sight She had written him that she, too, was coming to town, and that was the last "she done expect it," was thb com- FOBTINO BEPLY. be had heard. That had been a year ago, and he bad searched In vain for any trae of the girl who had promised to become bis wife. He was still lost In bis thoughts when a shrill peal of the electric bell roused him. At the door stood Cynthia, panting from the exertion of stair climbing and carefully nursing a huge basket cov ered with his best red tablecloth. "Get through all right?" he asked, his good temper returning. "What did the young lady say to th Intrusion?" "She done expect It" was the com forting reply as Cynthia made her way toward the bedroom to put the things away. "I done tole her that I had to look after my young gemman too." "Ton better had," he laughed as he settled himself with bis paper. "I got to go back there," she said as she came lumbering toward him. "It's des as funny." "What's funny?" he asked. ' "I done took a handkerchief outen your top drawer." "Thank God!" he breathed softly. "An' I don't know which It Is," she went on as she banded out a pile of filmy lacy things. "Your young lady use the same kind?" he asked as he held out his hand. Cynthia nodded. Freeman gave a gasp. There was nothing by which he could tell the one be bad lost. They were all alike. He turned to Cynthia. "What's your young lady's name?" he asked. "Mis Hadley," was the stammering response. "I'm sorry I done got em mixed." "I'm not!" he shouted. "Where does Mlqj Hadley liver ...... - Injoy Ufo Good health make f good na ture. If everyone had a sound stomach there would be no pes simists In the world Do not" allow a weak stoihach or a bad liver to rob you of the Joy of living. Take BESOM'S PILLS and the world laughs with you. No need then for rose-colored glasses. Bcccham's Pills start health vibrations to all parts of the body, while putting a ruddy tint on lips and checks. There's health in every box. Health for every man, woman and child. Beccham's Pills Sell Everywhere. In boxes 10a and JSc T was a-gotu' to des slip em in d drawer," she protested. "Doan yon go to takto 'em round." Hans the handkerchiefs!" ke shouted' as" he raughf uplslihaTTnd started for the door, and be darted out leaving behind a most astonished ne grcss. ' ' Ten minutes later he was rlugtng the bell of a fiat house half a mlie away and with trembling feet was climbing the stairs. It might, of course, all be a mistake, yet it would.be odd if her same was lladley and it was not his Bessie. Then a door openod in the hall above, and her face peered over the banis ters. With a choking cry she tottered toward the stairs Just as he sprang to the top, and an Instant later she was sobbing in his arms. For a moment be held her there, too happy to speak. Theu the closing of a door on the floor etove aroused him, and he quietly !rcvwber into the par lor. "I have found you at last!" he ex claimed. "I was beginning to fear that you were dead." Gently she slipped from his arms and moved away. "I sent and told you where I was," she reproached. "You never come to me." "I did go." he protested. "I was out of town When I came home they told me that yon had gone out one evening and had not returned. I searched the town for you, but could find no trace, and I even went bacs to the old home to see If you had become discouraged and had returned there." "I met with an accident" she ex plained. "I was struck by an auto mobile, and my bead was hurt con cussion of the brain, they said It was. I was Insensible for two weeks. Then I sent to your address, but you had moved, and no one seemed to know where you were." 1 "I had fitted up a flat for two," he explained. "When I lost you I could not bear to live in it and be constantly reminded of all I bad planned. "Then how did you find me now?" she asked. "Through your handkerchief," he ex plained. "I did not know they were marked with my address," she said coldly. "There must be some other explana tion of your suddenly awakened de sire to see me. Did you not bare my address all the time?" "Do you remember that Cynthia brought some one's washing to do here at your house today?" be demanded, Ignoring her question. Bessie nodded. "Well, through some foolishness she got tbjs handkerchief you gave me the day I went away mixed up with the wash. When she came to pick it out they were all alike, and she brought the whole lot over to me to see If I could pick out mine." Bessie's face cleared. "Do you know," she said, "that for a moment I thought that since you knew where I lived you must have known all the time?" "If I had," he smiled, "there would have been a double laundry for Cyn thia long ago." "And to think that a little thing like that should bring us together I" she cried. "Cynthia always spoke of you as her "young gemman.' " "And you were her young lady,'" he answered. "Don't you think it is about time there was a change of own ership?" "If you still want me, Charlie," she said. "If I want your' he echoed as he caught ber to blm, and Cynthia, com ing back, beamed on them with the air of one who has worked a great good..
