OK AH AUTUMN SKETCH.
fhanks to tlie artist, ever on my wall
The sunset stays; that hill in glory
rolled, .
Those trees and clouds in crimson and In
Bold,
P.urn on, nor cool when evening shadows

James Kusw-ll Lowell.
"There is a season that's brimful of glad
ness and joy.
When the heartstrings of lite gladly
ring ;
Tls the bright golden Autumn unknown
to alloy,
When the little brown squirrel is king.
When the bushytailed fellow is lord over
all,
The woods aro decked gaily to greet
him.
Whale scarlet tluged leaves from the
maple trees fall,
And dance o'er the meadows to meet
him.
flirough woodlands he scurries, through
runlets he hurries,
To the hickory tree in the wold ;
And as happy is he ns1 a king ere could
be,
Though he wears not a circlet of gold.
Ilelgho to the monarch of dingle and hol
low !
nis praises lot everyone sing;
Tor we must needs be merry, be happy
and -cheery,
When the little brown squirrel is king."
John WWowny gazed from tho de
sign on the jtrlstol board In his hand
to the flushed face of his fair visitor,
"Excellent, Miss Dobb," he said. "A
sure seller. You are a positive genius
In advertisement designing. Now I have
sent for you with the object of entering
luto a permanent arrangement with re
gard to your services. I find there are
not enough working hours In my day,
and I wish to relegate the advertise
ment department to a capnble special
ist. Salary 2"0. What do you say?"
Tlie young lady laughed delightedly.
"You really mean that you will pay
me f250 a year for supplying this sort
of tiling to order?" she said.
' "Don't disparnga it," hhe smiled. "I
have certain proof of its effectiveness,
and I'm a business man. Publicity Is
the life-blood of our enterprise, and I
want good stuff. Say you'll accept"
I "I'm glad you think so highly of my
efforts," the girl returned. "I never
Imagined when I posted you thnt first
essay that It would lead to this. It
struck mo as I read your advertise
ments In tho magnzlnes thnt I could
possibly produce something worthy,
and, having time on my hands and
knowing 'Zalvo' to be everything you
claimed for It, I mnde the attempt,
you wore good enough to arapt It and
to Invite more. Your check made me
fed quite proud of myself, and I will
ingly complied. As to nny permanent
arrangement, however, you must not
think mo ungrateful, but circumstances
would not permit of my Joining your
tuff. If you will favorably consider
my efforts as n free lance I will under
take to ooutlnuo the supply for my
own gratification. I feel quite somt-
tiorty, I can assure you, when I see my
ads. In the pniiers. You must under
stand thnt tills work Is done surrepti
tiously. My people don't suspect me
of n hobby, and I'm afraid they
wouldn't 1)0 altogether pleased to know
my particular form of madness."
"You underrato your capabilities, be
lieve me," snld John. "I may tnke It
then that a permanency Is out of the
question. Frankly I ni disappointed,
hut . I will bind you to your undertak
ing, and I shall expect you to bring
me fresh designs whenever the a Hiatus
moves you."
She rose and held out her band.
"Thank you," she snld, returning his
smile. "I will certainly come."
For some time after she bad gone
John WHIowny sat before his desk In
a pleasant reverie, conjured up by her
charm of manner and appearance.
Tho secret of the composition of
"Znlvo" had been given to lilin but
four yqnrs previously, when he was
earning a modest livelihood as a Jour
nalist, and, realizing Its possibilities,
lie had launched the business. From
small beginnings be had, by sheer work
and the application of the greater per
oentngu of hlu profits to publicity, de
Tclopod tho enterprise until "Zalvo"
had become a household word through
out tho kingdom.
At thirty-two he was well on Uic
high road to fortune.
The claims of business In those four
years bad held him chained ; and,
though In bearing and appearance, lie
was a man who might have wooed suc
cessfully, he had not sought the society
of tho fair sex, aud was, consequently,
entirely heart-whole.
"I guessed It was hopeless from the
first sight of her," ho mused, ns he
gated at the design, "ller whole np-
pen ranee proclaims refinement, taste
and wealth. This kind of a thing ls
but a passing whim a stolen pleasure
to bo snatched furtively for fear of dis
approving parents - who, doubtless,
would regard dabbling In trade as a
blot on their escutcheon. Quaint that
I should pitch on 'Zalvo.' nut, by
ileorge.! she can produce the real stuff.
' I wish she bad to earn her dally
bivad."
He found himself smiling at the
thought. Again and again while he
snnllod himself to the day's work the
memory of bet laughing, flushed face
and. charming personality arrested his
pen and switched his thoughts from the
prosnle to the Ideal. The seed of ro
mance, which had hitherto blown past
him, had at length struck soil, and his
pleasant musing was evidence that it
was exceedingly likely to germinate.
As he bnnged down his roll-top desk
thnt night he hoped that she would
soon repent her visit.
The desire to see her again grew
stronger ns the days passed. In the
hours when business did not claim his
thoughts her plcttfre was a recurring
memory. On the seventh day after her
coming, hoping to hasten her call, he
ventured to write a brief request for
the promised few designs.
When her card was brought to him
the following morning some new
strange sense of gladness Beemed to
permeate him, and he met her with
band outstretched and smiling face.
That second visit proved the precursor
of many, with Intervnls which gradual
ly lessened, until the "day dawned on
him when the hope that he might not
ask In vain tilled him with Joy,
Thnt morning, for the first time, she I
had thrown side her Incognito and, as
he learned her father's name, despite
the fact thnt he was a Baronet, a feel
ing of distinct confidence was Instilled
within him. She had looked for some
expression of surprise, instead of which
be laughed, ns a man laughs who is
sure of utlmnte victor?.
"Tour father looks down on trade,
I suppose," he said, becoming sudden
ly serious. "lie would be angry if he
knew that his daughter had soiled her
hands with business."
"Father Is broad-minded," she re
turned. "He hasn't always been a
Baronet, you know. But mother's
proudest bonst Is her pedigree. I'm
afraid her feelings would be terribly
outraged.''
, "She wouldn't recognize the 'Zalvo
man, eh?" he said. "Freeze his pre-
sumption with an Icy glare through her
lorgnette, eh?"
She smiled at the picture.
"That reminds me," she snld. "The
fount of Inspiration will dry up for
"why don't you speak to heb?"
three weeks. We're off to Brighton to
morrow."
"Thnt remind me," he laughed. "I'm
feeling the want of a holiday myself,
Would you recommend Dr. Drlghton In
my case?'
'I think the treatment might benefit
you," she returned, archly.-
"Which hotel would yon suggest?"
he asked.
"I should sny tho Metropolo would
suit you admirably," she replied.
Sir Thomas Cnrhnm was having a
warm ten minutes. Ills lady was evl
dontly highly Incensed.
"The thing's apparent," she was say
ing. "The man ls always with her,
Everybody in the hotel Is talking about
It .' It must be stopped at once, und It
is for you to settle his pretensions."
"Very decent chnp, my dear," he ven
tured, mlldy. "I must admit that I
rather like him."
"Your liking or disliking tins nolh
Ing to do with it," snnppcd the lady.
"You know very well I hnve other
views for Kitty. Snphcnd dotes upon
her, and I will not have the inntch
spoiled. Tho way she gallivants about
with this 'Znlvo' fellow Is absolutely
disgusting."
"Whv don't you speak to her?" he
observed dryly.
What an Insane question!" she re
turned. ."The very way to make her
think more of him. It Is for yob to
scak to him, and ln unmistakable lan
guage. Zalvo Indeed!"
"Very good stuff, my dear," he said,
"I've known It euro some obstinate
puses, and, besides. It must bo a mint
to him."
"Don't bo asinine !" retorted the lady
her generous form quivering with
anger. "You will plense understand I
expect to send him to the rightabout
this very night."
"Very well, my dear, very well," he
returned, ns ho pulled on his dress coat.
"I'l talk to him after dinner. Ah, there
they come across tho promenade. Hand
some chnp ho looks, too. I like his face.
Got tho right stamp. All right, my dear,
don't excite yourself. Qo aud dress;
I'll talk to him."
The girl went by the bedroom door
to her own room humming a snatch of
song.
Sir Thomas caught It and stood
stock-still, eating with apparent ab
straction through the window.
"Souuds distinctly unpromising," he
snld to himself. "If I still possess the
faculty of putting two and two together
I'm afraid I'm In for a hard case.' And,
when I think of that bright specimen
of nobility, Saphead, I'm blessed If I
feel inclined to enthuse over the job.
This other Is a man. I wish to good
ness Maria would tackle htm herself.
The dluner through the Inane re
marks of the irrepressible Saphead,
who dlt.ed with them, bored him ex
ceedingly. The smiles with which his
wife rewarded his feeble witticisms en
couraged htm to shine, and he was well
content Politeness compelled Kitty
and himself to lnterpolata a word now
and than, but ha fancied, aa ha aotad

her wayward glances towasds a certain
table, that she wished herself else
where. Before she passed to the drawing
room he contrived to have a word with
hc.
"Kit," he whispered, "I've got orders
to s;md Mr. Znlvo to the rightabout"
She looked at him and smiled compla
cently. "I believe he wishes to speak to you."
she said.. "See; he's coming now. Be
gentle with him."

John
"Good evening. Sir Thomns,"
greeted him,
Are you for a smoke?
If so, I should like to join you."
"Very pleased," said the baronet;
and, together, they made for the smoke
room. Ensconced In a retired corner of the
cosy divan they puffed contemplatively
nt their cigars for a spell In silence.
Both had something vltul to sny, anft
both were equally at a loss how best
to commence.
"This 'Zalvo' of yours Is a rood
1 thing, eh?" observed Sir Thomas, tem-
porlzlng.
'Excellent, both for humanity and
pecuniarily for me," returned John. .
"Ah ; costs about twopence and.

gredients simple, but efficacious. The trlues- lt ls Pointed out that hither

Thomas. "It strikes me as a very lucra- own language concerning the customs,

"You summarize the position fairly
correctly." said John. ''Ingredients slm-
pie, but remedy undoubtedly efficacious,
Advertising may sell a bad thing once,
but It's onlv the good ones which sell
all tho time." ,
"I remember my mother possessed an
old recipe for a salve which was won-
derful In Its effect," went on Sir John,

There wns that In his face that prom-
Ised a revelation.
"Tell me nbout lt," he said, presently.
"I was a journalist at the time,"
said John. "Chance gave us acquaint-
mice, and she was good enough to take ,
an interest in me. i ininn some or mo
pleosautest hours of my life have been
spent In her society. Having person-
ally proved the efficacy of her recipe,
I ventured to urge upon her that It
was selfish to keep tt from the commu
lity, and, eventually, persuaded her to
give me tho secret The rest you know.
From the very first sale she has been
the recipient of a royalty of one penny
per pot, which, I believe, she religiously
llspenses In various charities, having
a sufficient Income to keep her In com-
fort. It wan only on this condition that
she would accept anything."

In the mind of the Baronet was now al
most certainty.
"Where did you say the lady lived?"
he queTled. 1
"I did not mention the town," said
John, smiling. "It was Leamington."
"Ah!" ejaculated Sir Thomas, and
was silent.
Presently he knocked the ash from
tils cigar, and leaning forward, said
abruptly:
'Wllloway, why aren't you a Lord, a
Baronet, or at least a Knight?"
"I take lt that 1 may travel that
rond," John responded gravely.
I like you. Hang It, but I do!" ex-
clalmed Sir Thomas Impulsively.
"That's good news," said John. "It
encourages me to state the request
which I brought yon here to urge."
"What was the dear old lady's
name?" queried Sir Thomas.
"Mrs. Carhnm," returned' John.
"My mother!"
"So I believe," said John noncha
lantly. "I want her to be my grand-mother-ln-law."
"What does Kit say?"
"I have good reason to believe she
would advocate the legal reatlonshlp,"

quite a small boy he had the present
of a toy cannon. Ha found the ennmm

out he took a bit of strong wire, mnde

When I was trying to blow up
wasp's nest, he continues, the mine of
coarse blasting powder went off tn my
face, and peppered lt full of unexpect
1 lure cralna of powder.
I went to rav room, and with a cold
pin dug out every grain, and cleaned
the wound with my nail-brush. It was
most painful operation, but If I had
left the powder In I ahould have had
blue face for life.

out hunting smashed the bone of my
