Coy that she had decided to go there.
The result was that they were ushered
into such bewildering display that
the girl was at first at a loss how to Sc
lect. But she soon yielded to the Sc
ductiveness of a magnificent parlol
suite, bed room set in oak, golden
finish that would do credit to old Mr..
Klondyke himself. To this she added
an easy rocker for Uncle Josh, and
didn't forget a most convenient and
ornamental writing desk for Hubby
Charles having come to the conclusion
that their prices were below the very
whisper of competition.
A pretty good start" said the old
man, and now we'll go to Debord &
McCoy's stove department. If Polly
fails to accomplish wonders in the Gull
nary art, it will not be for want of su-
perior cooking utensils, for she pur-
chased solar malleable range with all
other equipments needed in a well
regulated kitchen all of which Uncle
Josh paid for with delight, cause he
knew Debord & Mccoy had treated
him all right, just as they treat every
body.
Halt! commanded Uncle Josh, as
the party came in front of Kings City
Drug Store. walk right in" why,
Uncle, we're not sick, and" Guess
I know that" laughed the old man,
but I suspect it wont be long before
this young man begins to take an in
terest in matters of paregoric and"
"U-n-c-le!" Well go in anyway and
get acquainted, besides Polly may find
some toilet articles she wants" Sure
enough, before leaving he was loaded
down with combs, brushes, leather
goods, face powders and several bottles
Of fine perfumes. Don't forget added
Uncle Josh, to come here with your
prescriptions, as Mr.. King is COM
petent pharmacist who uses none but
Let's see-I promised you gold
watch, didn't II" queried Uncle Josh
of Polly, and F. E. Carlquist is the
man to give US the worth of our
money" Entering the popular jewelry
store the old man CALAMITY acquitted
himself of the promise and then d.
rected Polly's attention to the superior
stock of silverware carried by the
house. There is no other such a
house in town." said the old man,
and I will guarantee the quality to be
the very best. Pick out your family
clock while here he added. Carlquist
carries a magnificent line. Don't for
get another fact" he continued, if
ever you unfortunately need optical
goods, this is the place to come to get
your eyes scientifically tested and
fitted free, and say, my boy, remember
that he is also an expert doctor on
sick watches"
At this point, somewhat to the con-
fusion Of Charley, the old man INDUCED
in half serious criticism of his per-
sonal appearance. "You are decidedly
off style for a townsman," said he,
and we'd better go see The Hub
Clothing Store about some new duds.
That's an up-to-date place, where they
understand the changing styles and
are noted for their good fits, and l
bet you'll look more like a newly mar
RED man when you get logged out in
new suit. There is no question
about it, my boy, Mr.. Brown is in a
position to supply the good dressers in
more satisfactory styles and prices than
anybody in town, and he's satisfied
with a moderate profit, too" Charles
invested in a complete outfit from a
late style hat down to new collars and
ties, and he declared that if a man
couldn't get satisfied at that store it'd be
his own fault"
oh, say, Uncle exclaimed Polly,

dress is hardly suitable, must admit. "
