paying two profits to the retailer. The
Manufacturers Commission Co.

to the consumer. By investing in manufac-
turers' samples odds and ends, job-lots, and
the stocks of insolvent manufacturers, In

A Cup OF Blood From Her Arm to Cure

A very touching but painful Incl

Yone aged sixteen. who was engaged
as a servant in the house OF a mill
tary officer. was deeply grieved by tho
ILLNESS of her father and his appar-
emily hopeless condition. She went
barefooted day BY day TO Sokakuji
temple TO pray. but all to no purpose
Her father continued as bad as before.
At last one night an old man with
snow-white hair appeared to her and
told her that il she wished her father
to get we'll she must give HIM cup
full of blood from q girl sixteen years
OF age On awaking she decided she
would carry out the old mans instruc-
tions.
She procured a sword from her
masters house and went home telling
her parents about her dream. and that
she intended to give her father cup
OF her blood. Her father. Mortified
at his daughters conduct took the
sword from her and demonstrated
with her. She returned TO her work,
but on the same night she cut her
left arm in two places and carried
the cup OF blood TO her father. i'm

The Mortified parents sent for a

and did their best to drive away her

OF the superstition and Ignorance

him back TO more mundane frame
of mind. There were several points
to consider and decide upon. He had
no desire to find himself in the
clutches OF the police. and he was
determined TO keep out OF them as
long as might be. Doubtless in tho
course OF few hours-if. indeed. it
had not been done already-a detailed
description OF his personal appearance
would be sent to every police center
and port in the kingdom; consequent
ly it behooved him to be up and doing
without delay.
Ten minutes cogitation decided
him as to his immediate course of ac-
ton. The first thing he did was TO
call for his bill and pay it his next tc

search OF a BARRIERS shop which he
presently found where he had his
rather long hair cropped as close as
il he bad just been passed into the
army. Before leaving the shop he
bought pair OF scissors. HIS next
proceeding was to take a ticket on the
underground railway from Kings
Cross to Portland Road. and. while in
the tunnel. TO clip his beard and mus
tache as short as possible, At Port
land Road he left the train and found
another BARRIERS shop, from which he
emerged a quarter OF an hour
later perfectly clean shaven.
Thence cab took him to GER
tain emporium" as to which he had
some previous knowledge where al
most anything in tho way Of second
hand clothing is obtainable at few
minutes notice. Here he procured
everything needful to allow of his pre-
senting himself to the world in the
guise o! a spick and span young cur
ate. He made the requisite change
on the spot obtaining a leather bag
in which to take away the clothes re
had discarded. That bag and its con-
tents he deposited half an hour later
in the cloak-room at Waterloo station.
