"Only a dime!" be cackled. ".Just
one dime to learn how to make the
dolls inlk."
; "Only one dime!" echoed tho woolly
bulled doll, which Iny JImply on top
of a 1 1 in II trunk.
'Ten rents." murmured Irish Paddy
from wlihln the trunk.
Kilt In spite of much spirited din.
lofjile only llvo hookn were sold. Then
ns I he crowd drifted away tho little
man packed his silent dolls into tho
trunk, Hwung It by a strap over his
shoulder and tramped down the vil
lage hi reel.
lie turned In at n little store on tho
very edke of town. It was n remark
iibly ueai little store, and at the back
wuh a table with u clean white cloth.
U'he old man asked for rolls and milk,
which he tile at the tuble. lie also
bought a cuu of sardines, some crack
ers and cheeso to take away with lilm.
When he hud puld for these there was
no nunc money in his old pockutbook,
but he smiled to himself happily as ho
nte his lunch and listened to tho talk
of the fresh faced little woman In
. charge and of the neighbor who had
run In for a moment.
"When ure you going to marry
George?" the neighbor teased.
The fresh faced woman blushed. "I
shall never marry ugnlu. llenry was
such u good husband."
"You can't live on memories of good"
nosa," said the neighbor bluntly.
"No." the little woman agreed, "but
Ilcury would turn lu his grave If 1
should look ut anybody else."
"Iluh!" tho neighbor sniffed. "1
Euess you've looked all right!"
Again the widow blushed. ."I can't
help It if Ueorge will come here," she
said.
"You'd better tako him or lot him
eo.y
"1 know. I believe I could like blm.
tut Henry oh, Mrs. Perkins, Llenry
'Would come hack and hauut me If I
married Ueorge Mills."
"Fiddlesticks'." suld tho incredulous
Mrs. IVrltlns. "As If I'd let n thine

used to say. 'Alary, if you over marry
tiny body else I'll come and haunt
you.' " , ,
' "Henry ought to get over such things
when he's been In heaven ns long tia
this."
"Do you think so?" the widow ques
tioned wistfully. "It seems ns if lieu
ry would always be Just llenry even
lu heaven,"
The neighbor nodded, "That's so.
llenry was certainly set in his wnys."
"You see. that's what I'm afraid of,"
the little widow stated. "1 suppose It
Is silly, but I always did hnvo n fear
of spirits, and Ib-ury knew It."
Back lu the dim store the ventrilo
quist chueku-d. Hut thoy had forgot
ten htm And when ho finally sham
bled out they were still talking of
Henry and his heaven born posslhllt-
Once out In tho street tho old man
studied tho signs, and "George- Mills,
Uutcher," was tho one townrd which
lie made his way.
Within the shop tho counters were
bare, At tho meat block tho butcher
himself was slicing bacon.
"nelto," he said as tbe ventriloquist
', tddled In. "You are the man who was
making the dolls tnlkr
"Yen."
"I don't see how you do It," Georgo
titnilghtened up. "I couldn't even son
you move your lips."
"That's nothing," the other stated.
f "Well. It's great," said Ueorge.
"Yes." the old man admitted, "but It
, doesn't line my pockets with gold."
"Kind of precnrlousV"
"Yes." The old man hesitated, thon
'blurled out, "I wonder If you'd like to
. Jhavo me help you-wlth a lady, a
widow,"
"Mrs. llassett?" The young man's
tone was eager,
"Well, her husband's namo was
m llenry," And the ventriloquist repeat
T' ed .(lie conversation he had heard.
"I nl.wnys knew llenry wns a selfish
J dog," Ueorge tlared.
"If you thought it waH worth ?5 I
might help you out," tho little man
ventured.
"How?"
, The ventriloquist outlined ids plan,
nd when lie had finished George cried
it-ngerly. will give you ton If you
-will umbo It bp!"
"Did he bavo a deep voice or n thin
one?"
"He had it piping voice," Georgo
tnted snvncely, "like tula"
V "Well, I want to do it right." And.
the ventriloquist picked up hid tainls
and weut on his way.
Late that afternoon Georgo Mills
'' Itopped Ib ami asked Mrs, Jliwsett to
take a walk to Marvin's grove.
Tbe wMow shook br head slv

bors ure beginning to talk."
"Marry me and shut their mouths."
wid Ueorge ardently.
"Oh. no: I citn'l inurry you. Ueorge.
and I inuxtn'i go with you any more;'
Uiorge looked, blank. "Oh. but so
here." he said, "you've Just got to go
tonight."
"I don't see why you arc so anx
ious," she yielded.
"Because oh, look here. Mary, let
It be our last walk It you will!"
Mnrvln'x grove was a place, of dim.
oeautlful greenness, and in Its depths
a grent gray bowlder thrum up n rug
ged shoulde'r. It was to this bowlder
that Ueorge guided Mary llasselt. ,tm?
they sat down with their backs a'galnst
the stone.
"Mary." he said, "tell me why you
won't marry me."
"If I only knew that Henry woiildn t
mind," she said, weeping. "You know
how good he was to me. George."
"But surely he would .want you to mv
happy," he said.
Mary sighed. "If I only know. If T
could hnve some sign."
Behind tho bowlder was the faint
rustle of dry leaves. It might hive
boon the movement of n rabbit or Of a
tortoise or of a squirrel seeking nuts.
But Ueorge knew thnt It was none r.f
these. He gave a significant cough.
Then, ns If borne by the breeze from
nowhere, came n thin, piping voice:
"Mary!"
The widow clutched at her lover's
sleeve. "George." she cried gaspingly,
."did you hear thnt?"
"What?" asked Ueorge.
"That voice Henry's volte."
"Nonsense!" But the young butcher's
face was white. There was n silence
in which they stood, pale faced, lis
tening. "Mary. Mory-tnke hlm-bo happy."'
As the words died away Mary gasp'
ed. "It Is Henry!"
He Is telling you to be happy. Will
you. Mary?"
She looked at him with startled
brown eyes. "I'm so frightened,
George."
He drew her within the circle of his
arm, "Nothing can hurt you hero.
Say 'Yes,' Mary." And as Bhe hesi
tated came the benediction.'
"Bless you!"
And nt that Mary yielded, with her
head against George's shoulder, but
listening for any further remarks from
llenry.
None came, nnd at last her lover led
her from the wood. But he stopped
by the roadway. "Walt until 1 go
and get. my hat," ho paid, and pres
ently he came back with It.
Ho hnd left something In Its place,
however, and when tho woods were
still, except for the twilight call of the
birds, a little old man stole around the
vdgc of the big gray stono and picked
up the crisp greenback.
Then he went back to his hiding
placo nnd nte .a supper ol' crackers
and cheese and snrdlncs In the com
pany of black faced Sambo and Irish
Pat.
Whon Ho Went Away.
"I take It." he said to tho man who
got on the depot car with u suit case,
"that you are going to the country."
"1 am, sir," was the stiff reply.
"You have everything with you you
will need?"
"Of course."
"Shirts, socks and toothbrush V"
"Certainly."
"Nightshirt, toilet soap and hnudker
chief?"
"Do you think me n child, sir?" win
asked,
"Of course not, but men are so nb
seutmluded, you see. Did you put In
an extra pair of cuffs?"
"1 did, sir. You and others may be
careless, but I waut you to know that
I'm not, 1 bine been three days pack
ing this stilt ease."
"Dm. You might need a needle nud
thread."
"1 have them."
"And some buttons."
"They are here."
"But there must have been some
thing forgotten," persisted the oilier.
"Nothing whatever," was tho decided
answer.
"Kor Instance, your key. You hnve
It, have you?"
The man sprung up nnd begun feel
lug lu his pockets and looking around
and after n moment called out:

Didn't Want to Seize the Op

"We've time enough yet to take n
look at the city from the top of tbe Se
curities building. It's worth seeing,
you know."
PruJcnce should have vetoed the sug
gestlon, For the longer half of the
blissful afternoon Viola had been aware
that IJnymoiid's eyes were saying more
than they should and that their mute
eloquence was singularly sWeet and
satisfying. Considering .the -fact that
she was ns good as engaged to another
.man... discretion counseled lllglit, A
voice within, "uif authoritative voice,
cried out that at tho best tho day
would soon bo over and urged her to
mnko the mo.it of It.
Viola compromised. "Mr. Ihiymond
suggests our getting a view of the city
from the top of one of the skyscrap
ers," she said, turning to her out of
town guests, "If you are not too
tired" And her heart leaped ut the
promptness of their protests.
She walked beside Itnymond silently,
glad that he, too, seemed to have noth
ing to say. She was frightened to find
herself clinging so fiercely to the Joy
of that afternoon together. Ho had
come upon them quite by accident, but
Viola know that but for her he would
have lifted his hat and gdiie his way.
The gladness thnt leaped to her ,eyes
nt tho sight of him, the tremor In her
voice as she spoke his nanio. had
boon bis uudolng and hers. They had
lunched and taken a drive along the
boulevards. Vloln's country cousins
had had the time of their lives. And
now the western sky wns red, and tho
time for saying goodby wns near.
They stood looking down upon the
city. Itnymond, its In duty bound,
pointed out the objects of interest.
The country cousins hung upon his
words and declared that they would
not have missed the sight for nny
thlng. As for Viola, she had no eyes
for tho crawling streets between tho
steep cliffs of brick and stone nor for
tho crawling creatures far below. Bra
zenly sho feustcd her eyes upon him.
He turned suddenly nud looked Into
her eyes, nnd his own caught fire. A
moment later they were standing to
gether in nn nnglo of tho roof, shel
tered from tho view of their compan
ions. The noise of the city below them
scorned fo.r nwny.
Itnymond broko tho spell by a down
ward gesture. "I wish it wcro all
mine."
"You mean tho whole town? What
greediness!" she laughed.
"So that I could glvo It nil to you."
"Thank you, but I'm not nmbltlous
to bo n plutocrat. Of course ouo must
hnvo tho things one Is used to. Pov
erty Is the worst of nil."
"Is It?" Ills eyes chnllcuged hers.
"Oh. don't! You make it so hard for
me!"
"You make It hard for yourself when
you fight ngalnst your henrt."
"Oh. you don't understand, Phil. It,
isn't as if I had only myself to think
of."
"Do you over glvo a thought to mo?"
Sho put her hands over her ears in
BUdden tremor. If sho listened longer
sho wns lost. "I must go," sho said
hurriedly. "I've stayed longer than I
should, but It was so pleasant." Sho
turned In n panic and tied across tho
roof, and ho followed slowly. When ho
overtook her" her eyes wcro dilated.'
"They're gonol" sho gasped. '
"Who?"
"Why, Leonard and Bessie. What
could have Induced them to go without
us?"
"I dou't know, I'm sure. But they
will bo waiting for us below without
doubt."
IIo tried tho door, rattled tho knob
sharply nnd mot questioning her gazo
with n blank stare. "We're locked up
here," ho exclaimed. Then as Viola
laughed hysterically ho added in Imsto:
"nnn't lirt fi-lL'hlniiPil. It will bo vorv
f easy to nttract some cno's intention."
Half nn hour Inter, Hushed nnd drip
ping with perspiration ns a result of
his fruitless exertion, bo acknowledg
ed his mistake. "Your cousins must
have thought we had gouo down bo
foro them. But after they get homo
and wo fall to make our appearance It
will of courso occur to somebody that
we'ro still up here. And tho only
thing to do Is to resign ourselves to
wait with what patience wo can mus
ter." Sho looked at him Reproachfully, but
ho did not meet her eyes. Ho sat
some dlstnuco from her, stnrlug moodi
ly nt the roof. Furtively Viola put
back her veil .and smoothed her hair.
Apparently her nppearauco was to him
a mattor of complete Indifference lie
never turned his eyes.
Her souse of roseutmeut found volco
at hist. "Aro you gotng to sit hero In
nbsoluto slleuco? Haven't you any
thing to say?"
"I have pleuty to say, but I can't
say it without taking advantage of tho
situation."
A long silence; then Raymond felt
the slipping of n small baud down his
sleeve. "I rather think, Phil," said n
tremulous voice, "that I want you to
tako advantage of tho situation."
Help was long in coming. As tho
darkness fell Vto'.a u'rew, closer, nnd
her hand stole into his of Its own ac
cord. It was n night without a star, and
tov that reason It was tho moro star,
fling when suddenly n bllntltng Illumi
nation lit up tho space where they sat,
Viola shrieked and Jild her faea on bet
lover's shoulder.

tlolis wei'e exchanged. The elevator
hud stopped mulling at li o'clock, and
the two young people descended the
andless tlights of stairs as blithely as
If they were walking on air.
Vlohi's home was In an upronr. The
storv brought by the country cousins
hnd nroused grave suspicions, which
Vloln's mother explained ns sho clung
to her dniighter.
"It couldn't have happened ut n moro
utiforiuiinte time. To begin with, Mr.
Pickering ' wns annoyed. " Hi?' makds
such n hobby of punctuality, you
know. And then when Leonard and I
Bessie came ln'! I
She raised her head from Viola's
shoulder and looked sharply at tho
young man who hnd escorted her
daughter home. Raymond boro her
scrutiny In silence. It was Viola who
prompted her Impatiently.
"Go on, mamma. When Leonard nnd
Bcsslo Cn mo In"
"It wns. of course, entirely nbsurd,"
declared Vloln's mother persistently,
addressing herself to Raymond, "but
one must make allowances for' n lov
er's natural Jealousy. When Leonard
nnd Besslo said that you had been
with them all afternoon and that you
and Viola had suddenly disappeared
tho poor man Jumped to tho conclusion
that you had eloped."
There was an impressive silence,
which Vloln improved by removing
her hat.
"Of courso we must explain nt once,"
Viola's mother continued. "Would It
bo better for you to phone him. Vloln,
or will you send ,hlm a note? Perhaps
you hnd better phone him nnd sny you
nro sending tho note. You see.- It is im
portant thnt tho mntter should bo
elenred up -without delay."
"I don't know thnt it's worth while
to make explanations, mamma," sho
said. "It is i, ae I didn't have any in
tention of eloping; but. Just tho same,
I'm going to marry Phil."
' What Wearied Him.
A friend once nsked nu nged mnn
what caused hlin to complain so often
nt ovcntldo .of pnln nnd weariness I
"AIns." replied be, "I bavo every day
so much to do. I have two falcons to
tame, two hares to keep from ruunlng
away, two hawks to manage, a ser
pent to confine, n Hon to chain nnd a
sick man to tend nnd wait upon."
"Well, well," commented his friend,
"you nro busy Indeed! But 1 didn't
know thnt you had anything to do with
n menagerie. How, then, do you make
that out?" '
"Why," continued the old man, "lis- i
ten. Two falcons are my eyes, which
I must guard diligently; tho two hares
aro my feet, which 1 must keep from
walking In' the wnys of sin; the two j
hnwks nro my hnuds, which 1 must
train to work, that I may provide for
myself nnd those dependent on mo ns
well ns for n needy friend occasionally ;
tho serpent Is my tongue, which I must
keep ever bridled lest It spenk un
seemly; tbe Hon Is my heart, with
which I have a continual fight lest
evil things come out of It, nnd the sick
man is my whole body, which Is al
ways necdlug my watchfulness nnd
care. All this dally wears out my
strength."
Had tho Effect.
"Yes." sho snld lu nuswer to some
thing ho hnd snld, "tho old sougs nro
very beautiful." '
"Beautiful!" ho exclaimed enthusi
astically. "Beautiful hardly describes
them. They are-they are-well, com
pared wjth them the sougs of today
are trash, the veriest trash."
"I agree with you. yet tho old s"ongs
sometimes contain sentiments that one
cannot wholly approve."
"I think you ure mlstakeu."
"I will give you nn Illustration. Thero
is John Howard Payne's 'Home. Sweet
Homo,' for Instance. You surely do not
ngreo with till tho sentiments It con
tnlns?" "Why not?" he asked warmly, "Why
not?" x
"Because," she said, glancing nt tho
clock, which wns marking the hour of
11 "because there Is a .Hue lu that
song which says 'Thero's no placo Hko
homo. You do uot bellcvo that, do
you?"
Then ho coughed n hollow cough and
nroso and went silently out Into tho
night.
She It So Sensitive.
"I wish some persons weren't so all
tired sensitive nnd ready to sco nn In
sult when none Is intended." remnrked
the man with tho troubled look, look
ing for sympathy. "Now. last night 1
got myself Into nn awkward tlx Just
trying to be agreenble nnd to plcnso

lady I think a great deal of-yes, I do

girl friend explained, 'and saw that

ATHLETIC TRAINING.
To Acquire an Excess of Muscle. May
Prove Injurious.
Nothing could be more elusive thnu
tho Idea that hy a period of athletic
training a man can lay in a stock of
health and strength upon which he can
draw later while engaged In u seden
tary occupation. The truth Is that the
big muscles nnd hypertrophlcd heart
of tho athlete are perilous possesions
for the man who no longer has the
tlmo or the inclination for using them.
When he stops the exercises hy vhteu
lie gained them. Instead of simply re
turning to their original size they suf
for ouo or another of the many forms
of degeueratlun and become Incapable
of performing their original services.
It is not quite true that all exercise
for Its own sahe Is harmless, for It Is
well to be prepared for the meeting of
life's little emergencies ns well ns Its
ordinary and dally demands, hut It
probably Is true that, the emergencies
apart, every man does enough lu going
about his customary business and
pleasure to keep himself In the condi
tion which that business and pleasure
demand and that anything besides Is
superlluous or Injurious. That athletics
take one Into the open air Is less o
commendation of athletics than an In
dictment of our houses, otlices nud
stores for lack of adequate ventilation,
If nil the nlr we brenthe was pure nlr
wo could get along well enough with
out any open nlr nt nil. Any man who
hite tho muscle he needs for doing the
things he wants to do and should do
hns nil the muscle he ought to hnvo
To ncqulre more Is n silly wnste of
time and perilous besides. New York
