The body is fed on weak, impure or polluted blood, the system is deprived of

Mark Twain's Rented Cat

MARX TWAIN, as is his custom, hides him
A'A self during the summer from the head
hunters those persons seeking autographs,
photographs, or interviews. This year he
selected Tuxedo Park his retreat, renting
an old Colonial house until the latter part of
September, when he returned to his New York
home. There, during the heated days, Mr..
Clemens wandered about the country byways
spent the time in various shady hooks in
his grounds
A visitor who succeeded in discovering his
whereabouts found the great author in his
famous suit of white fannels, seated under a
tree petting kitten.
Where did you get til" queried the friendly
intruder.
For a moment there was a twinkle in the
aged humorists eyes; it was succeeded by a
solemn look as he replied, Il rent it from a
ne1ghbor. You see, l cannot afford cat
not even young one"
Subsequent inquiry proved at least the first
part of Mr. Clemenss statement to be true. He
had actually rented the kitten for the summer
season. What does he pay for it? Nobody
knows what Mark Twain pays for anything.
All the world is interested only in what Mark
Twain is paid.

the other, and drew back little and sat down
on log.
The man on his knees was convulsed with
misery Denton, the world disappeared He
prayed in agony. Presently Denton moved
uneasily, then got up and walked about and at
last with strange awed look, when an hour
was past, stole back into the shadow of the
trees, while still the wounded soul poured out
its misery and repentance. Time moved on.
curious shyness possessed Tim now, thing
which he had never felt in his life. He moved
about self consciously, awkwardly, until at
last there was a sudden silence over by the
brook.
Tim looked and saw the face of the kneeling
man cleared and quiet and shining. He hest
tated, then stepped out and came over.
Have you got it3" he asked quietly. It's
noon now.
May God help me to redeem my past!"
answered the other in new voice.
You've got it-sure." Tins voice was
meditative.

answer.

he said, and once more in imagination he saw
Laura Sloly standing at the door, light in her
eyes he had never seen before.
You'll want some money for your jour
ney?" Tim asked.

was the low reply.

dry response. Good by and good luck, Scran-

He turned to go, moved on few steps, then
looked back. Don't be afraid; they'll not
follow he said. I'm fix it for you all right
But the man appeared not to hear; he was still
on his knees.
Tim faced the woods once more. He was
about to mount his horse, when he heard
step behind him. He turned sharply and faced
Laura.

me?"
No word was spoken; but she had a con-
vincing reply.
