years of health and enjoyment to many life.
Use this great medicine regularly, and its invig

Paine's Celery Compound, hoping it may catch
the eye of some afflicted person, and they
may receive the same satisfactory benefit.
Some IS years ago had combination of
malaria, chills and fever, and grip, which con-
tinued for year or more; meantime lost in
weight about 70 pounds, trying different medi-
cines and doctors with unsatisfactory results.
Paine's Celery Compound was recommended,
and, after using little began to improve,
gaining about a pound week. In year
had regained so pounds Of the lost weight and
good health, and have been a we'll man ever
since. Yours truly, GEORGE F. MORSE.

A. CARRIAGE CALLING DEVICE

Baltimore has come to the front
with a novel electric device for call
ing carriages after the theater, and it
is believed that it will be SO success
fuF as to commend itself to theater
managers. all over the country. 1t does
away with the old plan of calling thru
.megaphone and the usual confusion
resulting from a nisund on
the part Of drivers The new call is
in the shape Of a large electrical sign
extending out from the top of the
balcony in front of. the playhouse, the
characters on the sign being worked
from a small switchboard devise in
side 2the lobby Of the theater. AS each
patron who arrives in a carriage en-
ters the lobby he or she is. given a car
riage tag bearing the punched number
by which that carriage is designated.
A duplicate: tag. is then handed the
driver. !: ..:.%&55>5
AT the conclusion of the perform
ance,,Aas each person hands his or her
card to the footman, who stands at the
small switchboard, the card is inserted

The pressure Of the lever pushes small
pins thru'the perforations on the card
and the number is illuminated on the
sign outside.
The numbers on the signs can be
distinguished several squares away.

CHAPTER I.
A New Man in Town.

"Well, sir, they say I'm crooked!
William Porter tipped back his
swivel chair and placidly puffed a
cigar as he watched the effect of this
declaration on the young man who
sat talking to him.
: That's said of every successful
man nowadays, isn't it?' asked John
SaXton.
The president of the Clarkson Ma
tional bank ignored the question and
rolled his cigar from one side OF his
mouth to the other, as he waited for
his words to make their full impress
sion upon his visitor.
"They say I'm crooked he re-
peated, with a narrowing of the eyes,
s.but they don't say it very loud!'
Porter kicked his heels together
gently and watched his visitor with
eyes in which there was no trace OF
humor; but Saxton saw that he was
expected to laugh.
mo, SIR the banker continued.
"they don't say it very loud, and ]
guess they don't any of them want to
have to prove it. I'm afraid those
Boston friends of yours have given

ing the matter of his personal recti-
tude and returning to the affairs OF

got to come out in time, but it's

the office we've been keeping for your
people, and show you what it looks
like"
The room proved to be%a a small one
at the top of the building. On the
ground-glass door was inscribed "The
Interstate Irrigation company" The
room contained a safe, a fat-top desk
and a few chairs. Several maps hung
on the wall, some of them railroad
advertisements, and others were en-
gineers' charts Of ranch lands and irri-
cation bitches.
'sIt amt pretty said Porter crit-
cally, "but if you don't like it you can
move when you get ready. The bank
is your landlord, and we don't charge
you much for 1t. You've doubtless
got your inventory Of stuff with you,
and here in the safe you'll find the ac-

John Saxton had been sent to

made rash investments in several OF
