LAUNDERING.

Mrs. Cramer, wealthy young wild
ow, lived in a style of simple elegance
in desirable quarter of the city. Her
personal attendant, Susie Moore, was
young, pretty, and coquettish, with
half a score of lovers at her heels, so
that it is not to be wondered at that
she was at times absentminded and
giddy.
Mrs. Cramer had gone out calling,
and Susie was doing two things at
once. She was reading for the TWEEN
tieth time a declaration of love she
had received that morning and busting
a marble-top table that stood in the
center of the room. An ominious
crash which followed an unlucky whisk
of the buster caused her to drop both
the broom and the letter and exclaim:
My goodness" On the carpet lay
the fragments of costly porcelain cup
a valued gift of the dear departed!
Instant dismissal was the least she
could expect in case Of detection, and
how could detection be avoided? NO
one else had access to the apartment,
and there wasn't a cat on the premises.
But Susie was a girl OF resources. A
bright idea struck her and she ran to
the back yard, snatched up a stone
twice as large as a hens egg, and
dashed it through one of the panes
of rear window Then returning to
the parlor she picked up the stone and
laid 1t among the pieces of the broken
cup.
But will that look right?" she ejac-
ulated. People don't throw stones
through windows for nothing, and this
being back window, why-I have it,"
Her love letter lay at her feet. 1t
had neither address nor signature
though we'll she knew whence it came.
Catching up the missive and the mis-
sile she hastily wrapped the one
around the other, securing the parcel
with thread and placed it amid the
ruins.
Having finished her work, Susie
closed the apartment and took good
care not to be there when her mistress
returned.
If Mrs. Cramer was vexed when she
saw her broken cup and window, she
was indignant when she came to in
vestigate the cause.
WHO can have dared to take such a
liberty?" she exclaimed. crumpling the
paper in her hand, but she had scarcely
asked the question when a dark sus-
picion took possession of her
The damaged window not only over
looked her own back yard but the gar
den of an adjoining proprietor. a gen.
tleman passionately devoted to horti-
culture, and Mrs. Cramer had occasion
ally busted herself for a few minutes
in looking out upon his labors. The
never the slightest token of recogni-

ton. She had thought him a proper
man, and he had sometimes fingered a
little longer at his work than he prob
ably would have done had the bright
eyes of the widow been absent
To suspect was to resolve, and in
rtantly tying up the stone in the letter,
Gs she had found them, she walked to
he window and with all her might
hurled back the hated message beyond
the enemys confines and at once re-
treated.
The innocent and unsuspecting
neighbor, who CHANGED to be STOPPING
out of sight, digging weeds in the
midst Of tho shrubbery, startled by the
Dound of what might be some meteoric
body whizzing past in dangerous prox-
Unity to his head, raised himself just
In time to catch glimpse of the wild
ow's receding figure.
But Judge of his surprise as his eyes
fell on the strange object which had
barely missed knocking him down.
With a trembling hand he undid the
parcel and. as he read its contents, his
heart fluttered worse than Susie's had
done in the morning.
The fact is. he had long been in love
with the widow and had secretly
sighed for an opportunity TO tell her
30, but to receive an unequivocal dec
.aration from her-that was little
more than he had ever dared to hope.
Some fastidious people might think
such a proceeding indicate. but the
widow had evidently taken pity on his
backwardness; besides, wasn't it leap
year? True, her grammar might have
been better, and her spelling was, to
say the least, Indifferent. But then he
wasn't partial to literary ladies. Do
mesticity was what he wanted, and
the widow was the picture of that

forget It. And he didn't.
AT 6 o'clock sharp Elijah Rogers
presented himself at Mrs. Cramer's
door and was admitted by Susie.

AN AGED VETERAN.
A Detroit Veteran Talks of the War and
and "A Legacy Ii Left Him.

When the annual reunion of the
G.. A. Il. is held, Michigan is always
well represented. Around the camp
fires of the encampment our boys tell
of the hardships they have gone
through and the listener who knows
nothing of war will wonder how they
lived to tell the tale. Few men who
followed old glory and escaped the
shot and shell returned home without
some legacy as constant reminder of
their war days. Our representative
found veteran o. f. Newcomb of De-
troit, at his place of residence, No. 237
Second street. Mr.. Newcomb told him
how the little conqueror had rendered
him invaluable service. We give his
account here and some words of advice
tersely told. He said:
"A lake covering about two acres in
extent, containing the dead bodies of
90 mules, is not tempting water to
drink, but l was one of many who
drank it, and all of us would have done
so if we had known there was death in
every swallow. This illustrates but
one of the many hardships and priva-
tiOns passed through during the civil
war, and il is no wonder that G.. A. X.
men suffer from aches and pains The
most prevalent of these being due to
kidney disorders. l am pleased to note
agreat many others who passed through
as trying ordeals as l. have now learned
how these troubles can be mitigated.
When l say Doan's Kidney Pills will
cure them l not only speak from expe-
rience but from observation. To all
old soldiers or anyone suffering from
kidney complaint my advice is to try
that remedy"
