A disheveled man with . green,
CHASTITY glare in his hollow, spectral

clenched into his thin palms, and on

the frenzied one. hanging desperately
over the railing, with limp legs drag

charms for me and l want to die!
Gimme some arsenic. quick"'
"All right, mister" cheerfully re-
sponded the clerk. "You shall have
your arsenic" and he turned to the
shelf.
The strangers knees caved in
against the counter with Chump.
The druggist turned, nonchalantly,
with a package in his hand, and
without the slightest feeling in his
careless voice, went on:
"Any man that's big enough fool
to want to die hasn't any business

the better it will be. Now, take this
stuff. and take it qnick, so we can
get your carcass out of the shop in

down ON the confer and turning back
unconceredly to his work.
The fellow feebly shrunk away from
the little paper packet and his eyes
bulged with horror.

The Porcuplne Girl,

If there is girl whom all men,
young or old, good, bad or Indifferent,
thoroughly despise it is-next to the
girl who permits familiarities-the
girl who is cOnspicuOusly on the qui
yive to repel them. True innocence
and justice calls all men innocent
until proven guilty-is frank and
unsuspiciOus, and waits until imper-
tinences are offered before she nips
them. The pOrcupine girl-She who
briStleS with defiant "You-needn't.
Observation-Disclosures" armor
suggests that her mind must cOntin-
ually dwell on such matters, and there
is always the humiliating possibility
that she tlatterS herself.
