THE EMANCIPATION
OF TOY DUK.
By. Marguerite StabIer.

TN his own country, HUE Kee would
not have dared to raise his low
born eyes even so high as Toy Duk's
little crippled feet, but in this coun-
try, where everything is possible, he
promptly fell in love with her on the
approved American plan He haunted
the street in which she lived. and
watched her latticed balcony with his
eyes turned up at the corners In
very western way, for he was the
unhappy resultant of the two oppo-
site forces, Chinese birth and Ameri-
can training.
And Toy, also imbued with the spir-
lt Of American independence, had SO.
far declared her emancipation from
oriental custom as to return his
elances from behind her shutters. To
be sure. the Stats were scarcely
turned, and she peeped through her
sleeve, but to her it was mad fir
tation, and she trembled at her au-
dacity. The doughty Chew Bang, her
father, not only kept his balcony lat
.ticed more securely than those of his
Aeighbors, but the lattice-work was
f iron bars, which made the little
balcony strikingly like a prison.
And now, after 365 long, monoto-
nous. colorless days, another Dragon
day had rolled around-the only day
In all the stupid year worth living,
as poor little Toy thought. The Sc
date little town was, on this occa-
sion, overrun with an invading horde
Of chattering. jabbering coolies, for
there was scarcely an able-bodied Chi
naman for 20 miles around who was
not looking at the great dragon pa.
rade.
On this eventful day the Chinese
women are driven up and down the
long streets. Toy Duk sat rigidly
upright in a carriage as she endeav
ored to balance two-story head
dress of fearful and wonderful con
struction, while the layers of rice
powder on her cheeks fell into crack.
as she babbled and laughed in he1
endowment of this unusual excite
ment. She was beautiful little vel
low lady, whose slippers were scarce
" larger than an oyster shell, and
alas! almost as shapeless, who hob
bled about gracefully with the hell
OF an attendant, or squatted on ,
mat, a marvel OF elegance and dig

MERIT MAKES 1T FAMOUS
The Only Remedy in the World Except
Surgical Operation That
Will Certainly Cure Any
Form of Piles

The study OF physicians. the expert
ments of chemists. the loudly advertised
pretensions of Quacks. have been for
years expended in one direction; TO find
pile cure that would cure
The results have been number Of
harmless and in most cases useless
ointments. suppositories and even in
ternal remedies. which the public have
weighed in the balance OF experience
and found wanting: nearly all of them
gave some relief, but nothing approach

preparations

radical cure by reducing and finally alb

Until few years ago, no such remedy
had been produced, but at that time a
suppository was placed upon the market,
which has since proven itself to be the
long sought permanent cure for this
common and distressing trouble; II has
rapidly become famous throughout the
