To pre vent and cure these awful diseases, there is just one reliable remedy, Dr King'i New Life Pills. M. Flannery, of 14 Cus tom Honse Place, Chicago, says: ','They have no equal for Constipation and Bill ousnees." 25c at Allen & Woodward, THE SPOILING OF SARAH JANE By JULIA TRUITT BISHOP i.im.tr iourMcnrrah. o LAWLERcast a casual glance at the tittle cottage down at the corner tae cottage which he owned, and which his agent had rented two days before to a Mrs. Bryan, tall of figure and hard of hand. Surely there was a child sitting on the step. He arose and looked closer. Yea a lltle girl an exceedingly small girl; though he saw now that her dimin utive figure appeared smaller because he was hunchback. A white at was -winding and rubbing around her. For the first time since he had owned the row of cottages a child held possession in one of them, and Mr. Lawler was angry. This was too careless of Morton he would see him about It at once. He would tear that row of houses down next year and make a vineyard there or something per haps a quiet grove,' with high walla around it, where be could rest In the evenings. Mr. Lawler bad for some years been able to afford himself any little fancy he pleased, and it was one of his fancies to dislike children; to steer clear of them whenever he could; to ignore them when he went to the houses of his friends; to see that they never Intruded on his grounds, where he held state in the big, lonely house; and to make careful pro vision that no family with children should get into one of his cottages. ' He had managed so carefully that this had been practically a childless - neighbor hood. No boys rolled their hoops along the sidewalk by those cottages; no Httle girls- dressed dolls on the steps; no baby patted its tiny hands on the window panes. Perhaps one reason for this was that there had once been a child in the big house, and after the mother's death he and the boy had grown further and further apart had not understood one another, and had finally come to divis ion, so that Mr. Lawler had told the boy that the door was open and he could go. He had not dreamed that David would take him at his word but there was no mother to stand between them now, as she had done all the boy's life, so David went; and now Mr. Lawler, the learned lawyer, the eloquent speaker, sat in the pillared portico of the big house and scowled fiercely at a little girl on the step of the cottage at the end of the row. The next morning he saw her at closer range. He went past the cottage on me way to town, and just then she flashed out of the door and sat down on the step with sudden plump that attracted his frown-' ing glance. She was carrying a bowl and a spoon, and the white cat was fol lowing with expectation in every fea-. ture. ' 'Now, Sarah Jane," said the little girl, a high, thin voice, that seemed to In make her more elfish than before, "stand up an eat, an' don't you spill a drop!" He could not help pausing to look this tall, thin man who disliked children there was something so weird about the little girl on the step. She was grave- extending a spoonful of milk to the cat, and the cat as gravely sat erect on Its haunches, with both paws grasping the sides of the spoon; and, with eyes half closed and ears bent back, drank the milk with much rattling of a red tongue against the tip of the spoon. Mr. Law ler looked on with a portentous frown. I should think you could find some thing more important to do than spoil ing that cat," he said severely. The little girl turned her large eyes upon him. . . "She ain't spoiled!" she said, in the harp little voice. "She's an orphan, an' had to be raised by hand, an' that's the only way she knows how to eat." . "That's all nonsense," said Mr. Law ler, with deep disgust "You should be taught to make some good use of your time and help your mother make a living Instead of wasting your life spoiling ani mal which are a nuisance, under any circumstances. And why should .poor people make their expenses, heavier by keeping worthless animals?" The little girl . dipped up another spoonful of milk and held it out to Sarah Jane, who accepted It hungrily. It was a week later before he saw the child again; and then as he leaned back hi his easy chair, looking at something very far away, beyond the red light of the sunset, a harp little voice arose, al most from beneath his feet. . "I've brung my bucket over to get a copper cent's worth of milk for Sarah Jane," said the voice; and there before him was the solemn, elfish little face with the big eyes. "We couldn't get none this mornin' mother was out o' money but Sarah Jane '11 Jist go wild if she don't get her milk ever' day, so I broke into my tin bank." She held out the bucket In one hand and the copper cent in the other, with easy confidence thin little hands that looked like birds' claws. The great law yer and fluent speaker In the easy chair was very much irritated. "I don't sell milk," he said, waving away bucket and coin, "Stop one of the milk wagons when you want to buy milk." "Now you know very well they don't sell a copper cent's worth o milk," she re- torted, pitying his ignorance of affairs. "An' you've got a cow that mother says must give gallons an gallons. Do make aste Sarah Jane is mighty near tearin the house down; she wants her milk so bad." . "-i-.:. k Really this was too much! ' l;. .;. "I don't see why your mother doesn't have that cat killed," said Mr. Lawler, harply. The little faee grew more elfish till as the big eyes regarded him. in tently. A ' ' ', , .... '- "Sarah Jane wouldn't thank nobody to kill her," she Mid. "She likes to live, It you'd eter had anything like Sarah Jane boat the tioM you wouldn't talk that UBZ-111 Ctt jou caCU yo& want, b you try it awhile. I reckon Ola beam to lonesome jot yott, an not even a cat to talk. to. I know where I can get you one right aroun' at that house where the steps is broke down." "Oo back to the kitchen and ask the cook for some milk," he interrupted hastily and frowningly. "I don't want your money keep it." The child walked slowly down the steps and past the corner, keeping a troubled eye upon him; but when ska came back presently her step was alert and her manner resolute. She set the bucket down on the bottom step and mounted toward him. "I wouldn't take the milk without payln' for it," she said, the sharp little voice mounting higher with every deter mined word. "Sarah Jane ain't no beg garan' even If 'tain't but a little, you can put it away an' keep it Maybe it'll come in handy some day." There had been a sudden motion of the little bird-claw hand toward the book that was lying open and unread on his knee, and she was gone. When he looke.d down presently, there on the open page lay a copper cent He arose and wandered about the beautiful lawn, and smon? the flowers. and through the house, from room to room. What a strange thing memory was! He could see his wife coming down those stairs now, as plainly as he had ever seen her bodily presence; and the boy the boy was everywhere a child ish babe In the nursery a little lad. bursting in from school a tall youth. his handsome face pale, going out of that door with only a "Good-by, father! And then the long years. - "Willis," he said, awkwardly, a little later, to the astonished cook, "we have a great deal of milk, I believe more than we really need. Would you mind taking enough for two or more, per haps a Uttle more there's the cat down to that cottage at the corner every day, Willis, please?" As the days passed Mr. Lawler sat in the great portico every evening, feeling the loneliness of the house enveloping him like a cloud. He sat facing the little cottage now. He felt sure that the child would suddenly start up beside him some evening when he least expected it; but she did not. Then he arose and walked slowly past the cottage, determined that if he should see her he would ask her to come up and sit on the steps; but she was not to be seen. Sometimes he fin gered a common little coin in his vest 5 pocket, as though it had been some kind of magic talisman; and the magic of It was this, that the merest touch of it brought back thelittle lad who ha,d gone out of his life. At last, one morning, he went out at the gate, and looked down the street to the corner at which he always caught the car; and then turned to go past the row of cottages, which was much the longer way; and as he passed a scream and the wailing of a woman sounded from with in. He was there in a moment through the gate, bursting in at the door. The weeping mother was down on her knees, gathering up the insensible child from the floor where she had fallen. It was Mr. Lawler who took the little form away and laid it on the bed. "Oh, ye've come after the rent!" cried tike mother wringing her hands. "Oh, don't ye be coming after1 the rent, when I'm that distracted, with Katie ailin all this week, an' now took like this " "Be quiet woman! Does a man think of nothing but rent?" he said sternly, searching with a trembling finger for the pulse in the thin wrist "Have you had a doctor?" "An" how could I have a doctor?" sobbed the woman, "an' me with no money to dare; to send for 'imt" "I will telephone for a doctor," he aid; but as he was going out she called after him desperately: "Oh, then, get a cheap one for ye know how it is with the poor!" He was gone but a very few minutes; but in that time he had called a doctor, rung tor a messenger boy and sent a tele gram. The message was a very simple jne. .It was addressed to David Lawler, in a western city, and read: "Will you come home to see your fath er? John Lawler." .The doctor Mr. Lawler called was not a cheap one. He came in his automobile, and was in truth a little surprised at the house which required his august pres ence; but Mr. Lawler went in witn mm, and in a moment he was leaning over the frail little form on the bed. "She is partially conscious," said the doctor a long time afterward. "I think he is distressed by the mewing of that cat ' Can't something be done with it?" The mother's tears flowed afresh, so that she hardly noticed the knock at the door, which Mr. Lawler answered. "Sure, an' I don't know "what to do with the cat!" she cried piteously. "Kaite's always fed it her own self, aft er ways of her own, an' it won't eat for me, an that's the truth of it an' she was list gettin' ready to feed it this mornin' when, she was took. Mr. Lawler stood in the door with a yellow telegraph slip in his hand; and both of those who looked up at him saw that years had fallen from his face. "Coming on first train. Davie." he cried, exultingly, not knowing that he spoke aloud. "Davie! His mother al ways called him that It is a pleasant name! what's the matter? the cat?- Are you hungry, Sarah Jane? here give me the milk, and a spoon. I think I know just how it's done. Now stand up and eat, Sarah Jane, and don't you spill a drop I" He was down . on the floor he was gravely offering a spoonful of milk to Sarah Jane. "Ah this was something like! Sarah Jane sat np, grasped the ides of the spoon with both pawa and drank, with much joyous rattling of a red tongue. . And then, all at once there was a shrill cackle of laughter from the bed, and there were the big eyes wide open, star ing at the figure on the floor. - "It looks so funny," she gasped, weak- ITS between, laugha "to see htta- !.
