THE GIRL IN

Copyright, 1906. by E. c. PARCELS

In a shaded spot just inside the en-
trance of Central park a girl was sit
ting. She was all in black, from the
crown of her fetching little hat to her
low shoes. Her face was pale with
the paleness of q summer spent in the
city, her brown hair rippled back from
smooth white forehead, her eyes
were deep gray, steadfast and coura-
geous. "And have need of courage!"
Cornelia Stratton murmured. For two
months she had been hunting a posi-
ton and so far she had not found one,
although she had been able to sub
stitute at a large commercial office for
8 week or two. and the pay she had re
ceived for that had; by careful hoard

Two Intelligent Horses.

Il have heard many stories of the in
teiligence of animals" said a close OBJ
server of animal life, "but the actions
of two horses the other day equaled if
not surpassed many of the tales. The
pair were fine looking beasts attached
to farmers wagon and had been left
outside a feed store on Kensington
avenue. Just beyond their reach were
several bales Of hay. By some clever
maneuvering the white horse, which
was nearest the pavement, managed
to get hold of some of the hay. His
brown mate. not getting any of the
hay, with almost human actions made
the white horse understand that he
wished to share the feast. To satisfy
his mate the white horse took larger
mouthfuls of the hay and turned his
head in way SO that the brown horse
could enjoy the feast. By the time
their owner reached them nearly half
the bale of hay had been consumed by
the pair. When the owner Of the hay
was informed of the unique manner in
which the horses secured their lunch
con he said that it was good scheme
and he would stand for the loss."-

George Heathwood.
"And certainly the best thing you've
done, George, old man." said boyish
looking fellow at her elbow. "It's the
hit of the exhibition, and such simple
thing too! Just a girl with a pretty
fower-like face, sitting on bench in

took her reply for granted, for he did
not wait to hear it. But before half the
allotted time was up he returned with
q distinguished, gray haired woman,
whom many people in the room seem

she passed.

A Woman's Complexion.

"A w Ontan'S complexion.
1t is rank fooliShness TO attempt
to remove sallowness or greasiness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or local treatment, as advocated
by the beauty doctors. The only
safe and sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifies the

From where she sat she could hear
the ceaseless hum and stir of the city.
There had been hours when it seemed
to call like challenge, and her heart
beat in answer to it. Now it fright
ened her. 1t seemed so vast, so over
whelming. There were so many prob
lens to be met and mastered. One of
them was clothes.

cause it was the most economical. e er

wore the same suit, day in and day
out, taking such scrupulous care Of It
that she looked as well groomed as
many a woman of means.
Each day, when she had searched
for work till she was too tired to
search further, she came to sit in tie
park, where everything was green and
quiet, where squirrels frisked unmO-
Tested across the grass and where the
clear liquid notes of birds lent sem
blance of the country. There were

she opened them again, she encounter

the bench opposite her. He was

something deeper. "Take courage" tie

heart f1uttering strangely. Some one
in all that vast city had seen, had

told herself Hes never seen me be

cheered. Unrolling newspaper she
held in her hand, she went over its
want columns again. At the next Office
where she applied the business man

tied in her aspect that argued well for
her. ''Im the happiest girl in the

minutes later, for she had found a po-
sition at last.
The winter months sped quickly and
pleasantly There was so much to do
and SO much to see-the shops, the the
aters, the surging throngs on Broad
way and the great promenade on Fifth
avenue at twilight, when countless
carriages blocked the crossings and
when all the fashion and beauty Of
the earth seemed to shine before Cor
nelia's delighted eye. 1t grew to be
a custom with her in going to and
from her work to search the faces OF
the passersby in the half confessed
hope that some time, somewhere, she
should again catch a glimpse of the
man whom she had seen in the park.

destined to remain unfulfilled

AS evidence of This contention they
cite the fact that he has a succession

country every one Of which is stored
with provisions Of every kind for man,
including cured meats, flour and canned
goods Of all descriptions. For teams
and burros he has ample food stored
