ETHEL HE CRIED IN ABATEMENT.

ETHEL" HE CRIED IN ABATEMENT
new production which was TO go under
rehearsal this very morning, when
Rowland entered abruptly and ten
dered his resignation. Pyatt looked
worried, Rowland was a dependable
chap and had been with Pyatt two sea
sons. No good juvenile was to be Sc
cured west of Chicago. Pyatt chewed
his cigar and frOwned. He was feel
ing for the motive which prompted
the resignation, and while he thought,
Rowland left the Office, formerly the
star dressing room and opening direct
ly on the stage.
Pyatt was puzzled Here was the
best part ever offered "the kid" TO say
nothing of a chance to make love to
the very girl he was popularity sup
posed to be wOOing in real life. And
yet he had offered his two weeks no
tice with a finality which left no Op-
portunity for argument. The solution
was nearer at hand than Pyatt
dreamed.
He had just lighted a fresh cigar
when Ethel Godfrey slipped quietly
into the Office. Her eyes were red
trimmed from weeping. Pyatt grOaned.
Rowland had been announcing his
intention of quitting broadcast with
out giving the resOurceful manager a
chance to fix things" His wrath
changed to amazement, however, when
Ethel spoke.
''I want to go home Saturday night
am tired out and l need a rest"
wait till after the new piece comes
out" urged Pyatt, who began to fear
his entire company had gone mad.
Then the truth came out!
What! Stay here and be made love
to by that man ROwlandl Never!
Pyatt whistled and beat an irrele-
want ragtime tattoo with his pencil
This was why Rowland wanted his
part changed. A lovers quarrel! Both
preferred sacrificing a good engage
ment to opening the wounds afresh
twice daily by mimic lovemaking. Py-
att glanced out on the stage where the
company was assembling for rehears-
al. Rowland was chatting carelessly
with the light comedian.
The manager laid his hand sooth-
ingly on Etheps bowed head and said:
IF that's the trouble, can fix things
in a jlffy. Just you wait here for a
minute"
He went out on the stage, closing the
door behind him, and made straight
for Rowland, who had not seen Ethel
enter the office.
Gene" he said cordially, 81 think
that matter you just spoke about can
be easily arranged. Suppose you step
into the Office for a minute. I'll be
with you directly"
Rowland, with overcast brow and
gloomy eyes. stalked into the office
inwardly insisting that it was the sort
Of thing that never could be fixed. AS
he closed the door bis eyes fell upon
Ethel, still sitting with bowed head
and moist handkerchief rolled in ons
trembling hand.
Ethel" he cried in amazement

going through the books and it is ex-
pected the shortage will be about 5000.

GENERAL CIRCUIT.

In he death of William w. circuit,
of Bsrton, the state of Vermont has
lost | devoted citizen. His long and
actire career of public usefulness was
stamped from the beginning to the
endwith refreshing loyalty to the old
hone state and her people and their
interests. He was ever ready to
champion the Green Mountain state
abioad and lost no occasion not only
disclose to strangers his own char
aoer as Vermonter, but the many
etcellencies of his home that made
him proud of it. An interesting in
slance of this was his memorable ora
trical tilt with Governor McCreary,
If Kentucky, on the floor of the
House of Represen tative at Washing
ton, May Is, 1888, in which the rival
claims of the two commonwealth
were ably presented by loyal son of
each, and in which Gen. circuit was
undisputed victor after one of the
happiest speeches of his career.
Gen. circuit was not statesman in
the profoundest meaning of the term,
but he was in every respect a prac-
tical legislator of far more than aver
age worth both to his constituency
and to the nation. In his own peculiar
way he impressed those with whom
he came into intimacy as a man who
had comprehensive knowledge of
the details of national political issues,
and it is certain that in the party
councls at Washington his advice
was always sought and highly priced.
AS aparty politician, he was possessed
of poise and tact that carried him
through several hard fought battles
to advance his own political fortunes
or those of his friends, and during the
long period of his political ascend
ency on the ''east side'' he led large
personal following bound to him by
ties of friendship and implicit conf
dence that was reckoned one of the
most potent influences to be dealt
with in state politics. Gen. CIRCUITS
many years of service on the District
ofiColumbia committee made him rec
ognized in Washington as one of the
''city fathers" and his active interest
in behalf of the city, the improve
ment of its public utilities, and the
identifying of its parks, drives, and
pleasure grounds, were greatly APP
preciated by the people of Washing
ton with whom he was very popular.
Many of the most important improve
ments in the city and reforms in the
administration of its government are
directly traceable to the inspiration
or influence of Gen. Circuit.
1t was in an infinite variety of such
substantial services as these, rather
than in the brilliancy of debate or
profundity of political philosophy,
that Gen. Grout achieved his success
as public servant and left enduring
reminders of the value of his labors.

LETTER TO E. E. LIDDELL,

Dear Sir: There is going to be, from now on
in Barton a good deal of painting done, that
will last in good condition from years up
ten years is common; we know of it good in Is;
and we know no limit seems TO be likely
to last as long as the house lasts, in favorable
conditions.
The painter that uses this paint will get all
the business he can do.
Devoe lead and zinc is the paint. 1t looks
good as any; costs no more; and is ready
tinting or mixing to do.
The zinc is ground in with the lead by
machlnery-you can't do that.
Test it yourself, if you like; but there's
PLENTY of evidence for it. We take the risk
of how it turns out-there is risk.
Do you want this work?
