OUR CHORE BOY.
8h' up at the break of the dawn.
And tumbling the hay from the mowi,
And a merry laugh ringa, and a cheery
voice sings,
When Mollis Is feeding the cows.
Here's Speckle and Hrlndle and Bens,
And itutttrcup thereby the door.
Their big stur.chlnr.s creak, for they're
trying to speak.
When Mollie comes over the floor.
The horses stand tn the stalls
Their whinnying begging begin,
As If each understood tiuu the measure
was good
When Mollte Is near to the bin.
And the cattle will follow her round
With a dumb, never falling regard,
As If trying to boast w hich waa loving her
moit
When Mollis goes Into the yard.
Oh, H's well tftr a lasn!e to mend,
And It's well for a lassie to darn.
Hut her eyt s aro a bright as the stars tn
the i.lght
When Mollte does chores at the barn.

at the little jrold clock tliut had Just
announced the hour with musical self-

"lAon't be rude, Hetty. They're my
fruests if they aro a bore. How do
I look?"
"A touch of rotift my dear, would
amt the ensemble, l'allor I sup

well in book and things. Hut in
real life it'a apt to be pasty looks
like disordered liver or love or some
thing."
"Hetty! You are atrocious!"
Mrs. riUinnrd picked up a little sil
ver box k4 delicately applied a touch
of rose-bloom to her cheeks. .Mrs
Weston stretched her blue sntln sllp
pm toward the bright grate fire with
a luxurious little wriggle, but her
eyes, blue ns the slippers, never left
her hostess' face. They narrowed
shrewdly as Mrs. Stanard leaned close
to the tniera.
"A little more! That's better. Not
sleeping well hm? Don't care
whether school keens and all the
rest of it 7 Won't do, my dear. Ituin-
ous to the complexion. Cut it out."
"I wish you would not mu that
abominable akinff. You talk like some
factory jrlrl." Mrs. rltanard put the
liver box back on her dressing table
with a wenry little gesture and the
blue eyes narrowed again.
"My dear, It la absolutely impossible
to expreae one'a self In the queen's
Kngllsh nowadays. It is good form,
of coursu, but inadequate. Awfully
Inadequate. The factory jrlrl snys in
a sentence what good form takes a
ehapter to express. And even than
the factory girl has the beet of it.

"Nothing."
Mrs. Weston elevates her artistical

ly pate the pearl claspa on her long
suede gloves with one finger. The
other folds her arms on the silver
Cupid frame of her tall ehrml glass
and drojia her head on her arms.

in a satisfied manner, then allows her
eyes to travel up the long lace train

"Drink, pretty creature, drink. I

anil languorous with t.he odr of hot

of oulturud voice creep the faint
strains of uUtaut string instruments.
Mrs. Ktnnanl's face is serene and
slightly smiling, and her voice has Just
that touch of personal Interest that
sooths and attracts, as she greets ench
of her guests with rfeet tact. Her

Mrs. rltanard turned to the tall

faint on her lips and the eyes strained
and weary.
"Yes, I am tired." she said. "No, I

In the conservatory he placed her In
a long, low chair, and she sank back
with a long sigh of relief. The man at
her side leaned forward with his el

a steady voice, he told her Mrs. Wes

A keen anxiety vibrated through the
quiet strength of the low tones, ami
the fan fell to the floor with a Ilttli
clash of the Ivory sticks, as he bowed
his head on her hands, lying motionlesi
in her lap and waited.
She looked down at him with a great
wist fulness, and then gently lifted ti it

OU will never be success, my
I friend."
Martha Duhreuil ssid this la a ton
halt railing and half jeating.
Pierre raised his head without an
swering and twitched nervously th
page blackened by ink. It was the
twentieth time at least that his wife
had made such remark, and what
wa worae, he realized orrowfull
that she spoke the truth.
Once he had written a book of which
he had been proud, a novel launched
timidly by a publisher who made him
pay the cost of publication. That wa
an boor of ambitious dresms, long
sine ofcsstpattd by the grim reality.
"I will aaaesut to something In the
world," he had said resolutely. And
he believed it as did those who ad
mired him which ia to say his mother,
his sister and some of his friends who
read the book. Martha, his wife, wa
not one of these admirers, eihe told
him frankly again and agalnt "You
will amount to nothing."
He had no answer to make to Mar
tha's sneers, and he suffered keenly in
recalling the lucky days when they
walked together as lovers along paths
bordered by flowers and they made1
vows to each other and kissed. "You
will be a great man, my darling," she
hud said then. I
Pierre believed that he had been
faithless lu not keeping his promise of
greatness made ,four years before.
She had brought him her youth and
beauty, anil he ought to have given herl
In exchange the lilerury fume she had,
eipectcd, and have earned a fortune'
for tier by his pen. Hut now she hud
abandoned those cherished dreams of
reflected glory.
The poor fellow recalled the happy
days Hint had preceded their imirriuge,
and the deligiitH of their companion
ship during their honeymoon. And he
answered to her taunt:
"Ho much the wurse, my dear. Hut
we love each other, and that is enough."
He would not have cared for the plaud
it of the crowd if he had had the love
of Martha. Hut she broke into laugh
ter that frose Ills feeble smile.
"Oh, yes, indeed. That's well
enough. One can't liveon love. It is all
very well to suy so in the novels you
write or count on writing butin reul
lite things sre different."
When slimmer came they went to
the seashore, l'ierre securing au ap
pointment as the resort correspondent
of a newspaper. When he told her that
they were going, she said: "Ah, yuu
are a nice husband, after all." And she
smiled, but the smile was given as Id
alms.
At tho seashore she was soon the
belle of the place, and people forgot
about her husband, the reporter, who
remained in the shade. Some men were
with her much of the time, am! gossip
linked her name with that of a wealthy
Idler, l'iarre ventured to apeak of it
"What of It?" she asked. "The man
amuses 111 w ith his compliments. Yon
know that I am an honest woman
Hut I need amusement."
Duhrvuil'e Buffering were intense.
The thought of that Imbecile who
was ever at Martha'e aide bruised his
heart. He wanted to strangle hiin in
the crowded ballroom; and longed
for a duel. Hut the man waa influ
ential and a litterateur of renown.
A duel between them would have
been grotesque and useless.
The count deigned to interest him
self a lilt! in Pierre.
"Let us write a piece, my young
friend," said he, "and I will give you
rcconiiiietHliitioiia. A man has talent,
when he has the sense to will a wife
as pretty aa yours."
"Yes, Pierre, why haven't you some
thing on ha ml?" said his wife.
One oening when be was in the
little room, he seated himself at hii
work table, while his wife, who had
danced too much, slept peacefully
He n sicd his bend on his hands and
thought sadly: "Yes, Martha's love
for me hna pasaed."
White paper waa In front of him.
It was one of those silent nights that
tempt a writer, a night of atars and
silence.
"I will try to work." he mused.
Kciemhly he took up his pen. He
wrote of tilings and thoughts such
aa he had in his heait, speaking of
the happy past and the chagrin of the
present, of charming memories and
the painful reality. All uigH he
worked uKn hia work iki lire and

"What!" exclaimed hit wife, curi

"What wa the use? I have always

Martha waa satisfied and the'

representation Martha waa happy.
For the newspapers contained mnny

spoke of the play as excellent.
The play preaeuted at the Oymnase
was not a comedy, but a drnma of ,

hands in applause, proud to listen to
the clever words and charmed to see
the dead days revived. She sought to
glance in the eyes of her huaband hid
den behind a curtain of the box.
In the second act the action grew
ouicker. A crisis enme between the
man and wife. The words thev sixilin
were those that had passed between
Martha and Pierre. Kvidently he had
put his own experience into the piny.
It waa interesting, but what would
come next? Martha had been so in
different to Pierre that she could not
guesa.
The third act was admirable. In
the drama the Buffering of her hus
band waa analyzed with a master'
hand, cruel in his resignation, tor
ture and tenderness. The role of the
woman was studied with a psycholo
gy delicate and mocking. It was a
masterpiece.
Martha listened with beating heart.

Eatrsoraiwary Parties Takes Piece

An elderly man and hia strapping son
stood in a railway station one day late
ly awaiting a train. The son was an
athletic-looking cbnp, who attracted
general attention by his magnificent
I proportions, says the Baltimore News.
Apparently he was going west. At all
events, when his train was called the
lookers-on fairly held their breaths
, w ith surprise, fur the younger man put
his arms around the elder one and
' kissed him fuirly and squarely on his
mustaehed month. Then he seurnea
through the gate, and the last view of
him showed him waving a farewell
from the back platform of the sleep
ing car.
The remarkable thing about this lit
tle scene was that both participants in
It were Americans. One wouldn't have
been surprised at such a show of af
fection if they had been Germans or
Frenchmen or Italians; but it was an
unusual exhibition for practical, un
sentimental young America to make.
The average native of the United
States, should he return from Darkest
Africa after an absence of ten years,
would shake hnnda with his father just
as he would with the strange guest
within his gate, and he would ask both
affably to have a cigar. On the other
hand, his masculine relatives would
evince their interest and affection by
nsking him if his bout were on time.
Kissing in American families seems
to be looked upon ns a foolish cere
mony performed to propitiate the fem
inine members, and too undignified to
take place between the lords of cre
ation. There are times, of course,
when men do not consider osculation
either undignified or foolish but
that's another story.
EARL'S "LOAN" TO A FOOTPAD.
British Nobleman's Forced Contrlba

Although HO years old, the duchess
of Cleveland is a constant truvclerand
is noted for her conversational pow
ers, which age has not Impaired. She
can tell a story as well as her son, Lord
Husebtry. One of her favorite stories
is about her father, F.url Stanhope.
One night when the curl was walking
ulonc in tiie Kentish lanes a man
jumped out of the hedge, leveled a pis
tol, and dein.imk'd his purse.
"My good man, 1 have no money with
nie," said Lord Stanhope in his remark
ably slow tones. The robber laid hands
on his watch.
"No," Lord Stanhope went on, "that
watch you must not have; it w as given
to me by one I love; it is worth 100.
If you will trust me I will go back to
(lievening and bring a f 100 note and
place it in the hollow of that tree. I
cannot lose my watch."
The man did trust him. The earl did
bring the note. Years after Lord
Stanhope was at a city dinner, and
next to him sat a London lililerman of
irrent wealth, a man widely respected.
He and the carl talked of many things
und found each other mutually enter
taining. Next day Lord Stanhope re
ciivcd n letter, out of which dropped a
-t'loo note. "It was your lordship's
kind loan of this sum," said the note,
"that started me in life und enabled
me to huve the honor of Hitting next
to your lordship at dinner." A sti anjre
story. Hut the Stanhopes are a strange
race, and things happen to them that
never did or could occur to other peo

One of thn most helptul books on nerve
weakness ever issued is Iliat entitled
'Nervo Waste," bv Dr. Sawyer of Sau
Krancisco, now in its fifth thousand
l'his work of an experienced and repu

put health, hope and heart into thous
ands of lives ihat are now suffering
through nervous impairment."
