JOHN tic YLE, MATCHMAKER HEN I-oulse Doyle entered tbe offices of Detoncey A Griffin, architect». In tbe humble capacity of copy­ lot, tbe soul of her father rose tn an­ gry retielllou. Two year» previous John Doyle had retired from tbe grocery business with ■ tidy Income, a substantial brick real- dence and chronic rheumatism. When­ ever tbe malady loosened Its grip Doyle wandered back to tbe acenea of bls commercial achievements. His suc­ cessor always gave him cordial wel­ come, and a comfortable chair back of tbe cashier’» booth was at bls dis­ posal. When too lame to walk as far as tlte store, lie consoled himself by playing Innumerable games of pe- uuchle In tbe rear of Blmpsou’a cigar store. Just across the street. It was from a disastrous defeat at peuucble that be came home to bear that Ixiulse was "going to business." Tbe moment was Inauspicious. "1 never heard tell of such tom fool­ ish ness! My girl going to chase down­ town six days in tbe week, like tbe daughters of that no account Tom Saunders? People 'll be questioning tny credit next And she won’t make enough to puy for the new feathers and filings she'll want, to say nothing of tbe shoe leather she'll wear out traipsing back and forth In all kinds of weather!” Mrs. Doyle, who, In spite of the fact tbal she never Joined a mother's club nor studied household economics, bad succeeded in making John Doyle com­ fortable and content, calmly set a gus­ set In her husband's new shirt as sbe replied: "I don't know about that, John. 1 think that if more girls knew how bard It Is to earn money and to make a success In business we’d have fewer skinless and grumbling wives.” Mr. Doyle groaned at bls wife’s de sertlon to tbe enemy. "And as for her wasting her money. I don't believe Louise 'll do anything of the sort. She’s got too much of her father's blood In her. Besides, she’s going to pay her board—says It’s only right, seeing that she won’t be home to help me with the work.” Mr. Doyle fairly gasped In bls fury. "Pay her bourd! Minerva Doyle, have you gone daft? Or are you turning miser like your Uncle Sam? My daugh­ ter shan’t pay her board so long's I'm here to prevent It.” But Louise bad her way. Every Sat­ urday night she paid her board, and every Monday morning Mr. Doyle car rled tbe money straight to tbe savings bank aud deposited It to tbe credit of Louise Doyle. Three years rolled round, and Louise failed to fulfill any of the dire predie tlons set forth by her pareut. Sbe did not take pneuuioula from facing keeu northwesters, she did not catch small pox from rldlug in illy ventilated cars, aud sbe refused to elope with tbe junior partner. But site bad risen steadily Ic tbe estimation of her em­ ployers until, when George Shaw came to Mie city, sbe was confidential secre tary to tbe senior partner of Delancey A Griffin In bls secret heart John Doyle was wonderfully proud of this self pos­ sessed. capable young woman, and when young Shaw from up state, vlg orous. well set up and well poised, ap­ peared on tbe scene Mr. Doyle groaned afresh. • "If Louise hadn’t that business bee in her bonnet, there’s tbe man I'd pick out for her husband. Why on earth any sensible girl would rather take dictation from a snarllug. baldbeaded old crank downtown than Io make a nice home for a fellow like George Sliww I dou't see." But a* a matter of fact Mr. De laucey was neither bald nor III tem­ pered. and George Shaw had come to tbe city with but ones well defined am bltlon—to gain a business foothold. John Doyle's successor In tbe grocery trade being second cousin to George Shaw's mother, be bad taken tbe first thing at band, a position ss clerk In the store where Doyle bad once ruled with Iron hand. Perhaps the happiness of I.oulse was not tbe ouly thing at stake In Doyle's mind, lie might have cherished a se cret longing to maintain even a dis taut family connection with tbe scene of bls commercial success At any rate, Mr. Shaw was In due time in vited to call, and Mr. Doyle fairly bugged himself when be saw the ad­ miration In tbe young man's eyes on meeting Louise. But for six months matters pro greased no further. Mr Shaw called at Irregular Intervals and was cour­ teously received by Louise—In tbe presence of her parents. From bls poiut of vantage behind tbe cashier’s booth Mr. Doyle studied the young man whom be coveted as a son-ln law and decided that an occa atonal cigar could be offered bls Idol with Impunity. In tbe meantime George Shaw was studying ibe inner talntfes of customers and markets to the profound satisfaction of bls moth ulse Ir­ ritated ber exulwrant father. Tbe theater going became an estab lUbed weekly event, sod Mr. Doyle beamed even when defeated at pe- auchle Eacb day be spent less time In tl>e rear room of Rimpson's cigar Store and longer vlsita were made to W .he grocery store. He bought a batt« brand of cigars, too, and proffered them at more frequent Intervale. But when Ix>utoe Imperturbably an­ nounced that Mr. Shew bad Invited her to see Bernhardt In "L'Alglon” and followed up tbe Information with the prosaic oltaervatlon that her rainy day skirt needed a new binding tbe vis to of Mr. Doyle’s wrath were again un­ corked.

I do believe sbe's more In terested In Delaucey's contract for that Newport palace than tn getting a bus baud!" "Like as not." responded Mrs. Doyle, gathering the butter scraps for tbs cooking jar. "Au architect's coutract Is easily filled, but marriage Is uncer­ tain. and it's got to stand for moot of us I dou’t see that there’s such a rush shout her settling dowu. Rhe’s doing well Besides, bow do you know that Mr. Rbaw wants ber?" "Wants her!" roared Mr. Doyle. “Who wouldn't want ber? Ain't sbe pretty? Alu't she I and up to tbe mark every time? Ain’t I got money to leave? Aud ain't sbe as cool as a cu cum I mt . too, tbe Independent minx?" A week after tbe Bernhardt episode John Doyle came borne fairly brim­ ming over with excitement. "What do you think? George baa lanight nil Interest in the store; bad a tidy bit of money laid by when be came down here and, seeing this was a good opeiilug. iiougbt In. Everybody round the store Is tickled to death. Ray. 1 in­ vited him round to dinner Sunday to celebrate the occasion." Mrs. Doyle smiled. , - "That'» nice.” Louise likewise smiled placidly and passed ber plate for another chop. John Doyle boiled Inwardly. "Don't care a rap! This comes of letting ber work among a lot of coun­ ter jumpers and upstart young bro­ kers. Sbe don't know a real man when ahe sees one." The next night Louise dined with two young women wbo lived In true bohemian fashion In two rooms with a bath. Sbe came home animated and gossipy. “Oh, mother,” she exclaimed as sbe folded ber new veil with thrifty care, "It's tbe dearest little den! Tbe parlor couches are tbelr beds at nlgbt, and inside there's a place for tbelr gowns. And such a cute dinner, with a fern In the middle of the table, and everything so easy to get—canned soup, fried chicken and salad, and things from tbe delicatessen store, and rolls heated In tbe gas oven, and charlotte russe, with the queerest black coffee and preserved sweets from India to finish off. No two dishes alike and each one with a history!” Mrs. Doyle patted the two slender hands that stole round ber neck. "We bad a good dinner, too, dearie- roily poly pudding with strawberry jam.” “Not strawberry jam,” sighed Louise. "Naughty mother, not to wait till a night when I was home. I’ve been thinking that when Mr. Shaw came Sunday we might have something out of the ordinary, just to celebrate the occasion.” This with a sly look at ber father. "To be sure," responded Mrs. Doyle heartily. "Tbe poor fellow has boarded ever since he came to town. No doubt he'll eujoy some good home cooklug. We'll have a line roast of beef, with both kinds of potatoes, celery and veg­ etables, and I’ll make some extra thick mince pies.” Louise tapped tbe table thoughtfully. “I know, mother, dear, you’re ths best cook In tbe world, but don’t you I erva If I'd had him made to order.

Color of Water, Tbe color of surface water depends both on tbe character of the neighbor­ ing vegetation and on the time that the water remalna in contact with it. Wa­ ter near steep rocks, where there are few trees, will generally be below twenty units in color; steep wooded or cultivated slopes give twenty to fifty uults; similar, but gentler slopes, from 5 to 100. and swampy areas, 100 to 500, or even higher. Highly colored waters are more eommon in tbe northern states than In tbe south. Colored water Is gradually bleached by sunlight, tbe actiou taking place chief­ ly within one foot of tbe surface. Tbe study of color in water is of commer cial importance, because most people object to drinking brownish water. Hence. In a town water supply tbe color must either be removed or its formation must be prevented. Tbe lat­ ter Is often tbe most economical thing to do. and It may be accomplished by Intercepting tbe water from tbe up­ lands and leading it into tbe streams without letting It pass through the ■ wa mps — Success.

The friendly relations which often exist between truck drivers and tbelr horses to shown in the story of Chief­ tain. one of the tales In "Horses Nina,” by Sewell Ford. Tim Doyle, tbe driv­ er, having been left alone in tbe world, takes up lodgings In tbe stable. Tbe story runs thus Bo for three years or more Cbleftaln had always bad a good night pat on the flank from Ttm, and In the morning, after tbe currying and rubbing, they bad a little friendly ban­ ter In the way of love slaps from Tim and good natured nosings from Chief- tuln. Perhaps many of T|m's confi­ dences were given half in jest, and per­ haps Cbleftaln sometimes thought that Tim was a bit slow In perception; but. all in all. each understood the other even better than either realised. Of course Cbleftaln could not tell Tim of all those vague longings which had to do with new grass and springy turf, nor could be know that Tim had similar longings. These thoughts eacb kept to himself. But If Chieftain was ot Norman blood, a horse whose noble sires had ranged pasture and paddock free from rein or trace, Tim was a Itoyle whose father and grandfather bad lived close to the good green sod and had done their toil in tbe open, with the cool and calm of tbe country to soothe and revive them. Of such delights as these both Chief­ tain and Tim bad tasted scantily, hur­ riedly, In youth, and for them in the lapses of the daily grind both yearned eacb after his own fashion. And, eacb In his way, Tim and Chief­ tain were philosophers. As the years had come and gone, toil filled and uneventful, tbe character of the man had ripened and mellowed, the dtoposi tlon of tbe horse bad settled and sweet­ ened. In his earlier days Tim bad been ready to smash a wheel or lose one, to demand right of way with profane unction and to back bis word with whip, fist or bale book. But he had learned to yield an inch on occasion and to use tbe soft word. Chieftain, too. In hto first years be­ tween the poles bad sometimes been impatient with the untrained mates who from time to time joined tbe team. He had taken part in mane biting and trace kicking, especially on days when tbe loads were heavy and the files thick, conditions which try the best of horse tempers. But be bad steadied down into a pole horse wbo could set an example that was worth more than all tbe six foot lashes ever tied to a whipstock.

The census of 1900 shows that about one In every seven succumbs. The cause is apparent. With baby’s bones hardening, the fontanel (opening in the skull) closing up and its teeth forming, all these coming at once create a demand for bone material that nearly haJf the little systems are deficient in. The result is peevishness, weakness, sweating, fever, diar­ rhoea, brain troubles, convulsions, etc., that prove terribly fatal. The deaths in 1900 under three years were 304,988, to say nothing of the vast number outside the big cities that were not reported, and this in the Unital States alone. When baby begins to sweat, worry or cry out in sleep don’t wait, and the need Ik neither medicine nor narcotics. What the little system is crying out for is more bone material. Sweetman’s Teething Food sup­ plies It. It has saved the lives of thousands of babies. They begin to improve within forty-eight hours. Here la what physicians think of It. 2934 Washington St., San Francisco, June 2, 19U2. Gentlemen—1 am prescribing your food In the multitude of baby troubles due to Im­ peded dentition.
