PRO AND GON,

(Continued. )

Ethel {nd T looked at each other and The thing became clear after a moment or two. When we went back tothe station, we had entered it by one door and left it by another. Seeing a train on the track, we took it for granted it was ours. 4nd it wasn’t. That was all there was rbout it.

“Where can we get off?’ I ast.

“At X”—a place which I knew did not contain a dec nt hotel.

‘‘And when can we leave X ?”’

*‘Not until to-morrow.”

[t was decidedly not a cheerful prospect, but what must be must be. And to think that it was all due to Ethel’s lorgnette !

The hotel which X considered its best could not truthfully be described as a bower of bliss. My heart sank at the first sight of the air of grimness and dirt w hich hung about it. I glanced at Ethel, but her face was serene and cheerful, if slightly weary. lhe room to which we were shown was up me flight of stairs. The window-panes were »bseured by dirt; the paper shades hung in shreds and tatters ; the carpet was stained und worn, The bed—but why dwell upon the harrowing picture ? I waited for an out- and it came.

“‘Wkat a nice large room !” she cried, looking about her with an air of innocent surprise and delight. ‘‘Actually three win- dows ! Why, Mark, it is quite charming. I should like to spend a week here.”

[said notaing. My feelings were beyond words. And the worst of it was that she really seemed to mean what she said. Had she been merely making the best of it, I could, and felt that I would, have forgiven her, but she was not.

We went down to the dining-room. There I felt that Ethel’s eyes must be open- ed ; but not so. She looked without re- mark upon the soiled and tumbled ‘able- cloth, the battered and dingy furnishings of the table, the frowzy and unkempt wait- It was incredible. That Ethel, the daintiest of women, should be able to en dure such surroundings without complaint was certainly admirable; but that she should more than endure, that she should enjoy them, as she appeared to, was posi- tively appalling. Silently, and, I fear, sulk- ily, | made a frugal meal of boiled eggs and baked potatoes, and obeyed the laws of hygiene by leaving the table nearly as hun- gry as when I sat down. Suddenly and still silently I left the table, while Ethel tripped beside me, beaming with de- light, and still praising everything. I sup. pose I was glad that she could enjoy it. I hope I was. At all events, I neither said nor did anything to mar her bles. But not even my sympathy could force me to stay beyond the first train in the morning. Un- fortunately, said train left at six, and Ethel protested against being so ruthlessly drag- ged away.

‘‘Why not stay a day or two, Mark ®” she asked. ‘‘We could rest so nicely, and it would be quite a new experience.”

“Quite so,” I replied, grimly, and vouch- safed no further repby.

With half-laughing grumbles and protes- tations against my inhuman conduct, Ethel allowed herself to be carried off by the morning train. When she had settled her- self comfortably in her seat and we were fairly off she looked at me.

‘So you did not find it pleasant there, Mark ”” she said.

“I did not,” I replied, briefly, and with dignity.

Dr, A. W, Chase Tells a Friend That Eighty Out of Every Handred of Humanity are Afficted by Kidney and Liver Troubies.

Cured of Serious Stomach Troubies, Here is What He fays:

I was troubled for twenty years with acute stomach trouble and consti- pation, and had tried almost every- thing I could hear of, but get no re- lief. Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills were recommmended to me. The first dose I took gave me relief. I found them to be the thing I had been look- ing for. They have cured me,

‘I certainly should, and—”

Some blind instinct of prudence led me to refrain from adding, “and to share it: but Ethel understood, and her eves twinkl ed. ;

‘And you are ready to acknowledge t it 18 a good thing’ she asked.

‘That depends,” I answered. feeling more «nd more certain that I was falling into a trap.

“Poor boy! You could not you would,” said Ethel. ‘Yet it is all very simple. The disorder and untidiness which distresses you did not exist because I never once used my lorgnette while I was in the hotel. Now do you acknowledge that near-sightedness is some- times a benefit!”

‘‘Not at all,” I replied stoutly. to be poisoned I preter to know it.”

“T don’t precisely see what good it does you to know it if you can’t help it, and the knowledge only adds another pang,” said Ethel laughing. ‘‘However, have it your own way now. I'll prove my point yet.”

We were safely at home again, and our trip was a thing of the past. Not even the lorgnette was left as a souvenir of it, for that bone of dissension had again mysteri- ously vanished on our way home. Ethel laughingly accused me of having confiscated it, but I did not suppose that she meant it seriously. Neither of us even dimly forsaw what that fruit was to bear.

I had been sitting up unusually late that evening, partly because [ was not quite at ease in my mind, and partly because | had hecome absorbed in an article in a review. I wassitting in a large easy chair, and before me upon the wall hung a mirror in which was refiected the only doorway in the room, which opened into the main hall directly behind my back. At my left was a stand on which burned a student lamp. The back of the chair in which I sat was so high that no one entering from the hall could see me.

Either the article was not interesting or I was more tired than I had supposed,

Whatever may have been the cause, it is certain that I fell asleep. Of course it is imposyble for me to say how long my sleep lasted, but I became conscious at last of a slight rustling in the room. I suppose I must have moved or spoken, for my next sensation was that of intense cold, which coldness seemed to radiate from a spot on the right temple. Raising my eyes to the glass, I saw, what I had known well enough before, that the cold object pressed against my temple was the muzzle of a pistol in the hands of a man, who, as well as I could see in the shadow cast by the lamp shade, wore a crape mask over his face. Thought moves swiftly in such cases, unless one’s mind is entirely paralyzed. Two thoughts flashed through my mind so quickly that I could not tell which came first. Une was the fact that I had in the house a large sum of money belonging to my employers, which I had received too late to pay into'the bank that afternoon. The other, it is hardly necessary to say, was Ethel. To give up the money was out of the question, but to lose my brains appeared equally so.

I could have sworn that the pistol had been at my head for half an hour, instead of a few seconds, when a second glance at the mirror caused me to start and smother an exclamation. For, framed in that door- way which was reflected in the mirror, I plainly saw Ethel, clothed in a long gray wrapper, and shod with shoes of silence. My blood froze in my veins as I watched her, daring neither to move nor to speak. In another instant my heart gave a sudden leap and then stood still, as I saw Ethel, my brave Ethel, spring suddenly forward, with her soundless tread and soft unrustling garment, and seize the hand which heid the revolver, with a shrill ery of:

“Give it to me this minute ! you fairly at last !”

Do not ask me what happened next, for I never could tell. The pistol went off, for- tunately shivering the lamp intead of my head. The room was in darkness, but the crash of broken glass and a rush of cold air told how the robber had escaped. And Ethel, my brave Ethel, was in hysterics upon the floor.

As soon as I could find and light a fresh lamp, I picked her up and carried her to the sofa.

‘Ethel, you plucky little woman !” I cried. ‘*How came you to think of doing what you did? My dear little girl, look up and tell me how you came ‘nb there, and what put the right thing to do into your mind.”

*‘Oh dear!” gasped my brave little wife, “JT wouldn’t have done it for the world if I had only known. I woke up and missed you, and came down to look for you. When I got to the door I saw—oh, I thought Isaw you bending over the table with my dear lost lorgnette in your hand. And I thought I'd get it, and give youa fright at the same time. So Iran at you and caught it, and— oh dear ! the horrid thing went off, and it wasn’t the lorgnette, and it wasn’t you. If I had known it was a_ pistol and a robber, I'd never have touched it in the world !”

“Blessings on your near-sightedness, Ethel, my dear,” I said, laughing. ‘‘I give in ; I give in completely. Never, I im- plore you, never let me see you in specta- cles again.”

“Indeed, then, I'll do nothing of the kind,” said Ethel, drying her eyes, and recovering sufficiently to pout. ‘Do you suppose I’m going through the world taking hold of pis- tols and never knowing it? You must try as much as you please to persuade me that near-sightedness is a good thing, but I know better now.”

And never from that day to this have I seen Ethel without her spectacles.

Happily Compromised.

The young mountaineer after courting the girl for a half year concluded to back out, and a breach of promise suit was threatened. It scared him and he sought a compromise.

‘“‘About how much *%’ he asked, after a short conference with the girl and her fam- ily.

They held a consultation.

‘Make it $14,” reported the girl, ‘‘and we'll call it squar’.”

*‘Geewhillikins !’ he exclaimed,

costs more’n hitchin’.” *“Mebbe it does,” she said, ‘“‘but my feel- in’s have got to be paid for,”

“T’ll give you seven,” he said at a ven- ture.

The girl turned up her nose and argued,

“I'll spilt tne 610.50,” she said.

‘‘That’s purty hard on a feller,” he pro- tested, ‘‘but ef you'll take $5 now and give me till the fust of the moxth to lift the bal- ance, I'll do it.”

Another conference was held and he paid in his V and went away rejoicing. This was on the 15th of the month, and on the 28th he came around to see the girl and he was not nearly so confident.

“I say, Matildy,” he said humbly. ‘I’ve got to lift that $5.50 day after to-morrow, ain’t I ¢”

“‘T reckon you hev, Jim,” she replied, ‘‘er pop’ll be gittin’ down his gun.”

‘*That’s what I suspicioned, Matildy,” he said, pleadingly, ‘‘and I've come around te say that ef you'll give me back them $5 I'll splice with you. I don’t see no five an’ a half nowhere in reach, an’ ain’t likely to, nuther,” and he looked up fnrtively at the old man’s gun over the door,

She shook her head.

**T can’t do it, Jim.” she decided-

“Why can’t you, Matildy ?” he coaxed.

**’Caze, Jim, I’ve got ter hev some money to buy a new dress with ef I get spliced, but Pll tell you what T do,” and she became kindlier in her manner, ‘‘T’'ll spilt the differ- ence an’ give you back half uv it. I kin git a dress fer $2 an’ hev fifty cents fer the fix. in’s.’

The face of James shone as if the sun had kissed him, and the ‘‘splicin’” took place within a week.—Detroit Free Press.

“rom Kidney Disease Prevented vy Dodd's Kidney Pills, Only.

“Kidney Disease.” Do you know what it means? It means that the kid- neys are either voffen, or rotting; the blood is full of poisonous, death- dealing corruption; that the Kidneys can’t do their work ; that the victim is a walking charnel-house; that his hours are numbered; that the victim must take Dodd’s Kidney Pills if he does not want to die.

Have you Kidnéy Disease? Is your skin hot and dry; memory fail- ing; breath short; urine, reddish, or pale colored; does it scald when passing ; is your appetite changeable ; do your ankles swell ; have you bitter taste in the mouth on getting up mornings; is there a brick-dust de- posit in your urine?

Any of these signs is proof positive of Kidney Disease. Will you be cured, or will you die? Dodd’s Kidney Pills are the only means on earth that will cure you. They never fail.
