TALE OF "HANS BRINKER."
Work of Famous Author That Went
Begging, But Achieved
Success.

The fact that many a popular work
has passed through more than one pub
+ fishing house before finding one cour-
ageous enough to issue it is one of the
commonplaces of the history of litera-
ture. Among the classics of Juvenile
literature no story has a more cher
ished place than Hans Brinker,"
written by Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge
whose recent death has deprived the
young people of many countries of a
sympathetic friend. The Book Buyer
gives little account of the growth Of
the "Silver Skates"
In the early days of her authorship
Mrs. Dodge received a request for a
short story from the editor of the
Independent. Holland, with its quaint
customs and picturesque background,
had always fascinated the writer, and
she chose that country for the scene
of her tale.
Skating was the favorite pastime Of
her two boys, who liked nothing better
than the skating stories told by their
mother before the open fire. These
two factors decided the motive of the
tale.
But Hans Brinker" rapidly outgrew
the limits of the Independent. The
publication in weekly journal was out
of the question. So Mrs. Dodge Of
fered the story to a publisher, who re-
fused it. Again she tried. This tina
the manuscript was returned with the
verdict that no Holland story could be
popular. Finally the first publisher
very reluctantly consented to take the
book, and he put it upon the market
with great misglvings.
To the publishers surprise, the book
instantly won it's popularity, which
has in 40 years shown no sign of dimin-
ishing. The yearly sales amount to
over 5000 copies in this country. In
Great Britain more copies are sold than
of any other juvenile book.
It has been translated into Dutch,
German, French, Italian and Russian.
and like its hero. has won the race.
The French Academy presented its
author with a prize, but its greatest
triumph is the place it holds in the
hearts of the young people.

The colonel thought of the girls

but not quite SO young as this cub of

The colonel chewed the end of his
cigar in silence.

The colonel observed him warily. He
knew that quiet tone. 1t said that if
he refused to give up the rose he would
have to fight for it, and probably get
licked into the bargain.

Warburton shrugged; so did the colo
mel, who stood up and shook the
wrinkles from his trousers
Shall you be long in Washington,
sir?" asked Warburton, politely.
''In hurry to get rid of me, eh ?"
with a grim smile. "Well, perhaps
in a few days"
Good night"
The colonel stopped at the threshold
and his face melted suddenly into q
warm, humorous smile. He stretched
out hand which Warburton grasped
most gratefully. His colonel had been
playing with him.

An "Ade" to Digestion.

Among the many attempts to play
upon George AIDES surname, the one
here given is perhaps, one of the best.
A man from northern Wisconsin, who
met the humorist some time ago, told
lrim how his writings had made eXis-
tence more tolerable for him in his
lonely country home.
81 was a terrible sufferer from dys-
pepsy," said he, "but | read that

He found her at the bow window,
staring up at the moon. AS remarked
this room was dark, and she did not
instantly recognize him.
II am moon-gazing," she said.
LET me sigh for it with you. Per-
haps together we may bring it down."
There was something very pleasing in
the quality of his tone.
"Ah, it is you, Count? | could not
see. But let us not sigh for the moon;
it would be useless. Does any one get
his own wish-moon? Does it not al
ways hang so high, so far away?"
''The music has affected you?"
CAS- 1t always does. When l hear a
voice like madam's, l grow sad, and a
pity for the great world surges over
me-"
"Pity is the invisible embrace which
enfolds all animate things. There is
pity for the wretched, for the fool, for
the innocent knave, for those who are
criminals by their own folly; pity for
those who love without reward; pity
that embraces even me-"

She stepped inside. She did not COM

she locked her hands, grieving that all
she could give him was an ephemeral
flower How many men had turned
from her in this wise. even as she be-
gan to depend upon them for their
| friendships! The dark room oppressed
her and she stepped out once more in
to the silver of moonshine Have you
ever beheld a lovely woman fondle a
lovely rose? She drew it, pendent on
its slender stem, slowly across her lips,
her eyes shining mistily with waking
dreams. She breathed in the perfume,
then cupped the flower in the palm of
her hand and pressed it again and
again to her lips A long white arm
stretched forward and upward toward
the moon, and when it withdrew the
hand was empty.
Warburton, hidden behind the vines,
waited until she was gone, and then
hunted in the grass for the precious
| flower On his hands and knees he,
cropped. The dew did not matter And
when at last he found it, not all the
treasures of the tabled Ophir would
have tempted him to part with it. it
would be souvenir for his later days.
AS he rose from his knees he was
confronted by broad-shouldered,
| elderly man in evening clothes. The
end of cigar burned brightly between
his teeth
I'll take that flower, young man,
if you please"
Warburton's surprise was too great
for sudden recovery.
1T is mine, Colonel" he stammered.
The colonel flliped away his cigar
and caught my butler roughly by the
arm.

CHAPTER XIX.
"oH. MISTER BUTLER"


Warburton had never lacked that
rare and peculiar gift of Immediately
adapting himself to circumstances. To
lie now would be folly, worse than
useless. He had addressed this man
at his side by his military title. He
stood committed. He saw that he must
throw himself wholly on the colonel's
mercy and his sense of the humorous.
He pointed toward the stables and drew
the colonel after him; but the colonel
held back.
THAT rose first: | insist upon hav-
ing that rose till you have given me
a satisfactory account of yourself"
Warburton reluctantly surrendered
his treasure. Force of habit is a pecu-
liar one. The colonel had no real
authority to demand the rose; but
Warburton would no more have
thought of disobeying than of running
away.
you will give it back to me?"
THAT remains to be seen. Go on;
am ready to follow you. And l do not
want any dragging story, either" The
colonel spoke impatiently.
Warburton led him into his room
and turned on the light The colonel
seated himself on the edge of the cot
and lighted fresh cigar.

ing"
Warburton took several turns about
| the room. q don't know how the deuce
to begin, Colonel 1t began with a
joke that turned out wrong"
"Indeed?"-sarcastically. LET me
hear about this joke"
M'sieu Thames dallied no longer,
| but plunged boldly into his narrative
Sometimes the colonel stared at him as
if he beheld species of lunatic abso-
lutely new to him, sometimes he
laughed silently, sometimes he frowned.
That's ALL" said Thames; and he
stood watching the colonel with dread
in his eyes.
"Well, of all the damn fools!"
"Sir?"
"Of all the jackasses!"
Warburton bit his lip angrily.

We're you behind that trellis?"

"Any lunatics among your ances-

1t is the height of folly to dose the

except the catarrhal germs that are
present in the nose, throat and lungs
have first been killed.
Direct local treatment by brea hing
Hyomei through the pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit, is alb
solutely necessary to kill the catarrhal
germs and prevent their growth and
formation.
The soothing air of Hyomei heals
the smarting and raw membrane of
the air passages in the nose, throat
and lungs, kills off the catarrhal germs
and rids the system of the last traces
of catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit consists
of hard rubber inhaler which can
be carried in the purse or vest pocket.

economical treatment for the cure OF
catarrh, as well as the most reliable.

cure when Hyomei is used in ac-
cordance with the simple direct ons
