IT is not wise policy for the mem

scandals which have come upon the
industry Of pension drawing. They will
be following the conduct Of the largest

sticks its head in the sand at the ap-

hurt by an examination Of his claims for
pension. When there. are 400, 600
more pensioners, thirty years after the

husband was . druggist He was Q
tridin' kind of fellow, never half good
enough for her, and he took from bad "a
worse. They had been married six
years when he died of q protracted
spree. Then she found out that he had
taken the money she had tOiled and
worked for to pay his insurance pre-
miums and spreed with it.
1T was perfectly heartrendin' to see
her despair when she found out how he
had deceived her and left her with only
the little store. She was sick after his
death, that accounts for her curly
hair-but rs soon as she could creep
around she opened mp the store and has
kept pluckily Mt it ever since"
Kendall ground his teeth at the re-
cital. His heart gave . great throb OF
pity for the poor little druggist, and
''pity is akin to love"
He had come down to the little place
to look at some property that was for
sale. It was rather grand country
house, and although the price was rea-
sonablc he concluded not to take it
But now. for obvious reasons, he
changed his mind and feeling much
better walked around to SEQ tue agent
and close the deal.
That night he remained in the village
and again dropped into the little drug
store to buy box of capsules. He
flushed redly as he asked for them, say
ing that it was always better to be
prepared" Nor was this the last box
of them he bought from the widow.
After his removal to his new home he
rarely passed . day without dropping
in and purchasing some.
The widows tender heart was touched
with pity for the poor man who needed
SO much medicine for his headache. and
pity is akin to love" Had she seen
the stack of unopened boxes of the
magic capsules in Kcndall's medicine
chest the Inconsistency of her sex would
doubtless have prevented any change
in the widows sentiments. About two
months after his frst visit to her store
Kendall came in and found an awkward
country gallant going in just ahead Of
him.
"Want nickel's worth of love pow.
dcrs," he snickercd.
With q flush in her cheeks the widow
bowed to Kendall and turned to wait
on the countryman. She took down .
bottle of fine. white powder and
weighed the amount As he took il the
fellow said: MY chum used it and it
worked fine. He spread it on candy and
gave it to his girl and they wuz married
last night Hope I'll have rs good
luck"
Kendall looked at the druggist Tues-
tioningly as the fellow departed.
''It's what they call love powder,
she said, with little forced laugh. Il
hate to sell It but they will have it.
OF course there's nothing in it-only
their imagination. They think that If
they can get person to eat it their love
il secured"
She stepped behind the desk 70 attend
to something and Kendall was alone.
Quick rs fash he drew box Of bon.
bons that he had bought for the widow
and noiselessly moved over and secured

the jar of love powder. He sprinkled
it generously over the confcctions and
slipped the bottle back into place. As
he did so he lifted his eyes and saw the
widow was regarding him in q mirror
that hung behind her desk.
Perhaps it was the expression in her
eyes that gave him courage. for he
turned and went back to her.
Il have brought you these" he said.
handing her the box of bonbons.
A demure smile which she could not
reprcss played around the corners OF
her mouth as she gravely thanked him
and opened the box.
One. two, three pieces she ate. and
then Kendall, whose heart was wildly
beating as he endeavorcd to speak,
coolly asked: ''Has it done it's work."
II think it has" she said, family,
and Kendalrs arms were around her.

look gone forever from her lovely gray
eyes.-Caroline Valentine, In Pitts
