MERIT, NOT MAGIC

PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Aug. II, 1896.
MERIT, NOT MAGIC
Think of it, Furniture sales
are almost doubling the new
record of year ago Merit,
not magic. A year ago we
gathered vast quantities of
Furniture at prices newly
small-that is, we sold de-
pendable Furniture cheaper
than it ever had been sold.
Conditions allowed the posi-
ton taken then. The outlook
was gloomy, but makers kept
at work.
Today we're selling Furni-
ture a fourth cheaper than
then.
But makers have taken their
stand. Many factories are
closed. They'll do no work
until they can do it prohtably.
That's the story in a nutshell.
We've 100000 worth of good
to elegant Furniture at prices
never nearly reached for low
ness. There seems no human
possibility for prices again to
touch so low. There seems
every possibility of the princi-
pal factors being able to hold
down production to a point
that shall lead to profitable
work. A good many prognos-
tications have failed in the
years agone. This one will
scarcely fail. The Furniture
is its own mutely eloquent ar
gument for your quick buying.
Lots cannot be duplicated ;
lots are daily lessening. Well
pass all August Furniture rec
ords by thousands of dollars
simply because it is very profit
able to you to act quickly.

out Of the room in her impetuous fash

and Harry loves her, and she's broken
hearted, and she's i'll, and she's nearly

of all the rest, and at such a mo-
ment! I felt quite stunned. AT first
I could only stare at her-I could not
speak. Then I said: go, gor and

AS soon as she was gone I turned to
my faithful Phyllis, put my head on her
shoulder and sobbed like a baby.

married, my dearl Never you have
children, to suffer through them as I
suffer-
She was wiser than I, however. She
said she didn't think it was altogether
the children's fault.
1 admitted it at once. "You are quite
right" said, land was wrong. 1t
is not the children's fault. It's the
fault Of that hateful creature, who has
set them both against me. First Harry,
then Lily-the very one she was hired

erness, calling herself a governess, and
a B. A. to boot, corrupting an limo
cent young girl, mere child, with all
the details of a olandestine love in
.trigue! What infamy! What treach-
ery! I was beside myself when I
thought Of it. Any mother would have
been.
But Phyllis was not a mother, and
she was but lulSewarm in this matter
upon which felt so strongly. Indeed,
I was half-inclined to fear that she.
too, had become infected by the evil
influence among US, until found that
it was DR.. Juke who had been putting
ideas into her head. DR.. luke Is I'M
doubtedly very clever, and we were
enormously indebted to him! still I
have always felt that he was too fond
of giving his opinion upon things that
were altogether outside his province.
1t appeared he had been telling Phyllis
that it was very bad for Harry to have
any trouble on his mind, and that it
was absolutely necessary if we would
give him his full chances of recovery,
to remove any that we knew of which
could be removed

But now, of course, he went back. His
temperature was 104 in the night, and
he complained Of pains and uneasi-
ness, and turned again-t his nourish-
ment, light and liquid as it was. When
he did get a snatch of sleep his breath
ing was as restless as possible. Some
times it went fast and sometimes it
seemed to stop, and then he would
suddenly give deep snore and jump
that hurt his side and reused him. Aft
er which he would lie still little while,
staring at the wall. His eyes were full
of fever, and presently he began to
talk, and we could not make out what
he was saying. except that little hus-
sy's name-Emily He kept saying
Emily" = no, "Emmie" - as If he
thought she was in the room. Once 1
fancied he called me, and when I went
to him he put up his poor hands-al-
ready so thin and bleached-and 1
thought he wanted to be forgiven and
be friends with his mother again. But,
just as I was dropping on my knees
beside him to take him into my arms,
he said: kiss me, Emmier' And, oh,
in such voice! 1t made me feel-but
l can't describe how it made me feel.
And next day he had a shivering fit,
and the day after another, with more
fever than ever when they had passed

breathing, and delirium, and every
thing that was bad and hopeless. DR..
Juke said it meant blood-poisoning and
that he had expected it from the first;
but I didn't believe it, For was he
not doing beautifully up to the moment
when Lily was allowed to see him and
upset him with her tales? This time
we sent for two doctors from town,
and they and Juke were closeted to-
gether for an hour after making their
examination; and, when they came out
at last, they said they were agreed that
our boy was in so desperate a state
that nothing short of miracle could
save him.

break it to them, and we sat on the

cry together. 1 was completely broken
