mo. | do not" she answered, "and
| have never heard my husband speak
of a green-haired acquaintance"
This statement in regard to the
meeting of her husband and the green
haired lady coincided with the glimpse
she had of it from her tower, though
at that distance she had not noticed
the color of her hair. An accidental
meeting, evidently; but they went on
in the same train together, perhaps In
the same car. If friends, undoubtedly
they rode together. Well, what o.
that? Friends meet each other at ev-
cry turn. Her husband might in the
past have done the woman kindness
or some little service. II would be
like him. He would tell her all about
il on his return.
And, with a pleasant adieu to Miss
Chase. Mrs. Hamilton went away.
She called at the Savings Bank in
passing. and Tony Osborn, with his
pen behind his ear, came at once TO
speak to her.
Good morning. Tony; very busy, l
suppose"
Awful, now Ham-Mr. Hamilton is
away
Did he tell you just when to expect
him baok-what day, mean?' asked
Mrs. Hamilton.
NO. In a week or two, he said.
But it's all a joke about my being
busy, you know, for everything was
put in shape before he went"
I'm glad TO hear you are not driv-
en-" said Mrs. Hamilton, rejecting
that her husband always cleared the
way for others. but took the toughest
path himself. And then she went on
her way. She met Mr.. Henderson,
who stopped to speak TO her. and to
ask when her husband would be back.

Yes. that's what he told me. But, by

She murmured something about Bos-
ton and rest.
"He needs II. by George! Hope he'll

STATUS OF THE BABY.
Two Species Meet and Recognize
Their Mutual Obligations.


The home baby and the hotel baby
met on the northeast corner of the
park entrance
Il am surprised" said the hotel ba-
by, 'to see the way you dress. Are
you not aware that those loose gowns
are no longer in vogue in the best cor

"Oh, Just slipped this on. lounging

How tiresome. Can't you sneak away
at times down .he coal hole, or out in
the back alley and let yourself loose?"
"Never!" said the hotel baby, with
dignity. Somebody is always watch.

Il tell you what you do" said the
home baby; you come home with me.
The outside world cannot see us there.
Well kick up our heels and just have

round at me. Mr.. Hamilton looked
at her pretty close, as if sort of think
in or studyin' of her face, an then he
spoke again, but what it was he said

No, | guess not She seemed kind

What Mrs. Fry told her was but lit
tie more than Constance had already
heard, but it gave her much to think
about for several days. indeed. until
week had passed. But at the end of
that time an incident occurred which
surprised and alarmed her not a lit.

One morning, hearing the door-bell
ring, Mrs. Hamilton opened it her
self Tilly being busy, and was sur
prised to see Tony Osborn standing
there, idly flicking the dust from his
boot with a small cane.
"Ah, good morning, Mrs Hamilton.
Jolly weather, isn't it?"
Very pleasant. Will you come in,
Tony?"
Thanks. no. just want to see
Mr.. Hamilton"
Mr. Hamilton Surely you have

But hasn't he got homer"

He was at the bank last night,

I don't know | supposed he was
here, and ! called over to see him as
he didn't come to the bank. Perhaps
he Is at the mill
Without coming home. Tony?"
Young Osborn bit his lips and
thought deeply, but each moment grew
more bewildered.
did you speak TO him?" asked Mrs.
Hamilton.
"Yes, and he spoke TO me. Bank

and it was just after dark that | saw
him going into the bank as | was
passing. Hullo!' | said. II was the

PHONE AID TO MATRImoNY.
Girl with One in Her Home Always
Popular with Young Men.


Popular with Young Men.
II is needless TO say that the tele.
phone Is a great institution, says the
Utica Press. IL has long been an alb
solute essential in every place of bust
ness just now there is a great in
crease in the number Of phones in pri.
yate houses. II is possible to tall

her home. The companies are evil

branch of their business. because they
are advertising extensively. The
other day st. Louis paper had a big
display ad at the top of which was a
picture OF an attractive young lady
telephoning and represented az say.
ing: is that you, Harry" The text
beneath II includes this statements:
1T Is a well-known fact that the giri
who has a telephone is the girl who
has the most friends and consequently
has the best time"
This appeal to the young people Is
adroit and doubtless will serve &c
make the st. Louis exchange bigger
and buster. The parents who have
manageable daughters will do we'll
to consider this ingenious contrivance
and modern aid to matrimony. II Is
something of bother for a young
man 10 call or even to write a note
asking the young lady to go to the the.
ater. go for a walk or drive or ride
to the park, but II he can transmit the
message by telephone it is an easy
way Of making an appointment.
Many a delicious message is tele
phoned these days and there is reason
to believe the statement made by the
st. Louis company. II applies, OF
course. with equal force in every
American city. The young ladies for
whom life of single blessedness has
no charms are not exactly buying a
lottery when they hire a phone. They
can get much pleasure and comfort
out OF II as they go along. for 1t is a
constant contributor to convenience.
It is worth the price, with the enhanc-
ed matrimonial possibility thrown in
as an extra inducement.

Young Lady Left by Fever in Very Weak

with Gratifying Results.

After q fever, such as typhoid or scar

the recovery of strength. The tonic that
will most rapidly increase the red cor

most quickly restore color to the pale
cheeks, strength to the weak muscles,
aud elasticity to the sluggish nerves. So
far nothing has ever been produced su-
perior TO DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
this purpose.
Miss Midendorf had been i'll With
typhoid fever for fourteen weeks. She
had a good physician who carried her
safely through the critical stages. When
he left, nothing remained to be done ex
cept to build up her strength, which was
very feeble, and he gave her some pre-
scriptions for that purpose. Here, how.
ever, she met with disappointment.
Il took the doctors tonics, she says,
"for two months after had recovered

lians' Pink Pills are the best remedy to
use in all cases of weakness, from what
ever cause the system may be run down.
In cases of debility due to overwork they
minister fresh strength and overcome
nervous symptoms. They are specific
for anenia or bloodlessness. They are
particularly helpful to girls ON the verge
of womanhood. They meet all the re-
quirements of the period known as the
change of life. They correct spring
languor. They strengthen weak diges-
ton and rouse up sluggish organs. No
other tonic combines SO many virtues
