You ask what became of Andrus?
When he left the cage on that fatal
night he had to pass through the den
of the tigers. He had lost his self
possession and the beasts made a
meal of him. 1t was just as we'll for
him. for should have killed him the

to do so; for 1 knew then, as know

TWO SMALL FINANClERS.
A Never Ending Flow Of Lemonade on
Tap and for Sale.

a Never Ending Flow of Lemonade on
Tap and for Sale.
The East End acknowledges proprie-
tory claim to a couple of small boys
who are bound to become millionaires.
The other day they went into partner
ship to sell lemonade. After spending
ten cents for lemons and concocting a
fluid that would make the circus prod
uct turn green with envy, they located
on a corner and let out their musical
voices:
Here's yer fresh lemonade, only one
cent glass. It's made of pure lemons
and pure water. Come, slack your
thirst with the nectar of the tropics
Every few moments they changed
their song, but they had no difficulty
in securing customers. Every time
they sold a couple of glasses a little
water was added to the Lemonade"
and thus they had a never ending sup
ply.
About an hour after they began
operations the beverage was getting
pretty warm, but an iceman came along,
and while he carried a chunk Of ice to
the back door of an adjoining residence
one of the boys negotiated with the
wagon for a good-sized piece of ice.
BY the time the driver was back tho
boys had remodeled their tune.
"Here's your ice-cold lemonade.
Walk up and squench your thirst Only
two cents glass" q
'Say, what did you raise the price
fer? The ice didn't cost you nothing"
said . prospective customer:
"What der ye take US fer, anyway"
was the reply. IF you don't want to
buy you don't need ter. We can dis
pose OF the stock without you meddlin.

A STRANGE SCENE.

Where Tender Words and fearful Plead

1t was in the corridor of the sixth
floor of the city hall. Time, little be-
fore ten o'clock in the morning. Spec
tators, group of reporters. Speakers,
middle-aged, neatly but poorly
dressed female, accompanied by a
younger woman, evidently her daugh-
ter. She had inquired several times
when magistrate Pole would arrive.
They impatiently paced the corridor in
front of the hearing-room. Before his
honor arrived a man, whose appearance
showed plainly that he was partial to
the amber-colored beverage, Joined the
couple.
Don't do it, Mary; don't do it; please
don't do it," entreatingly said he.
II am tired of your abuse, and I am
going to have you arrested" remarked
the elderly woman.

begged, land I'll never strike you
again"
"You nave said that before, but you
did not live up to your promise"
TRY me, oh, try mel" he persisted;
II mean it this time; indeed do"
BY this time there was quite crowd
around the speakers-though they
were not near enough to interrupt the
dialogue.
"You will find me a different man
after this" he pleaded: there, that
will prove it''-and he kissed her.
The kiss did not mollify her. She ap-
peared to be deaf to his pleading.
Probably she did not see the tear that
was in his eye. But he kissed her again:
'Yes. mean it, Mary" he said, re-
pressing sob. ''Then, look here,''
drawing wallet from his pocket, caus-
ing the silver it contained to jingle, III

The woman took a good look at it,
and then she said:

They then pas sed down the corridor

I{ealthful Diet.

The Importance of a suitable and
sufficient dietary even in health is too
obvious to require assertion. In sick
ness it is a no less essential condition
of endurance and recovery. The scope
as regards variety may be more limit
ed, but there is practically, no limit az
to nicely in preparation. The primary
object of diet, prevention and repair Of
tissue waste, is attained by skillful at
tention to details Of cookery as much az
by judicious choice of materials. Appe.
tite has to be tempted, digestion suited,
assimilation and elimination maintained
effectually. and without irritation-in
short, nutrition and satisfaction are as
ncedful to success in treatment as they
are often difficult of attainment. At
the same time it is well to note that
great elaboration is seldom requisite or
advisable. Simplicity. care and com.
mon sense should be supreme in the in.
