press enlarged on the evils of piling
up money in this style. On April IL
of this year. for a corresponding part
of the fiscal year, the deficit is $780,
600 900. and Democratic comment is
reversed. A surplus was denounced
as bad. and now deficit is condemn
ed as no better. possibly worse. The
furry is responsible for the. falling
off in customs receipts. but the Re-
publican party is held to be account
able for the furry, and for surplus or
deficit as the case may be. Pleasing
the opposition is difficult matter;
but Republicans say frankly that they
prefer a surplus to a deficit. and are
seldom unable to point with pride to
the former.
rhe government has at this time
an available cas- balance OF over
$3.50, 900. which is comfortable
provision for the expected or the I'M
expected. The balance of trade in
out favor is at the highest point.
When the furry struck the country
there was no deficit, and the treasury
looked forward to a surplus for the
fiscal year of about s50,00O,000.
Perhaps there will be deficit OF this
size which shows that currency
shortage II that was the trouble, is
expensive to Uncle Sam. and sug-
gests that congress before adjourn
ment should pass a measure to pre-
vent a repetition Of last October.

she were just beginning to see through difficult
demonstration in analytics.
"Now, girls you will certainly have to go, and
may good luck go with you," Mrs. Hetzel said en-
couragingly
AS as Kitty had gotten her lesson by heart
she rushed into the library.
"Now, Mr. Waite" she exclaimed, her cheeks
and eyes glowing Il am ready to grant you that
secret interview. Don't you think we ought to go
into the parlor where papa and Threny can't hear
us?"
The attorney looked uncomfortable. He had ex-
pected to find her shy and unwilling and he had
mustered all his powers of persuasion. Never had
he worked hard any previous court plead
ing as he had worked over this. But to be cap
tured by an unanticpated onslaught and carried
off to the parlor for the too obvious purpose of
Offering his heart somehow took the romance out
of the situation. Nevertheless he arose and fol-
lowed Kitty into the adjoining room.
Threnodora waited until they had seated them
selves. Then, drawing two chairs opposite the
crack in the folding doors, she took one of them
and beckoned Judge Hetzel to place at her side.
well I guess poor DR.. Bens fate is settled"
she began in soicitous tones

item in their expense account charged up to
'sundries' or charity. Very few people will ad-
NIT that they buy their jokes ready-made. You
see, DR.. Arno invented this patent process for
ufacturing jokes-okes of all sizes and shapes and
for use on all occasions I the ma
chine and do up the packages, and we do
a tremendous business We tell our friends
that are taking of the sick in Hickory
street"
"And dat reminds me-" Judge Hetzel broke in.
Miss Treny, Mrs. Chanes told me dis afternoon
dat you ofer to her Friday night, and dat
she have not had pain since. l told her how
you pring me round, ven have dat crazy schpell
and she tink you are de second coming of de
Lord, or something of dat Sort"
In instant all the mirth was gone from
Threnodora's face and the shadow of Chris1ios
lowered once over her. The remainder of
the dinner hour was passed in abortive attempts
at conversation. AS the party was leaving the
dining-room Mr.. Waite stepped to Kitty's side.
MAY see you alone few minutes?" he asked.
Eyes, after you and papa have had your cigar in
the library" she replied, staring hard in the op-
posite direction.
Then she drew her mother and Threnodora into
the pantry
Los Angeles herald., 1908-09-06

The judges fat face wrinkled up in satisfied
laugh.
Yes tink we show him dat he can't pull de
wool over de papa's eyes all de time. Ven l vas
a young it de custom for daughters to
obey deir parents if it pleased dem or not"
"Come, come, Judge Hetzel you might have told
me that once, but 1t won't do now" Threnodora In
terrupted. "You confessed to me, while you were
SICK that you and Mamma Hetzel ran away be-
cause her father objected to you"
"Now, Miss Treny, you don't say told you dat!
Veil, veil, always pig fool vat couldn't keep
my mout shut. Yes, take it all back. Kitty she
is yust like her mamma. If she love a man she
don't care vat nobody say
"Then why don't you let her marry Dr. Ben If
you know she will have her own way in the end?"
"You tink shall sit down and let him have my
Kitty? Yes, maype ven he find me bound hand
and foot SO dat I can't help myself. den 1 say,
l got two free hands and two good feet, nefer
give in."
But what about Mr. Waite? isn't he almost as
old as you are?" Threnodora asked.
"I nefer ask him his age" the Judge returned.
"He come to me NIT letter of introduction from
an old friend in Milwaukee and pring him out to
de house. De first efening he fall dead In love init
my Kitty. l tnk he wants to marry her. Vat
you tink?"
"I have no doubt he does" Threnodora said dry
ly. "The cat will always gobble the mock1ng bird
if the cage door is left open. Judge Hetzel, don't
you know that fellow is a great big chump? And
yet he isn't so much of chump after all; but he
thinks you are one. He evidently has an eye to
business. 1t would be pretty fine thing for him

what on earth am l going to do" she asked
in an excited whisper. "Of course the old chump
is getting ready to propose. You couldn't help
knowing what is coming when widower asks In
that mysterious way to you alone. And papa
will simply annihate If l refuse him."
"Oh that's easy" Threnodora laughed "Just
accept him. You do it in such way that he
will wish you had refused him, or that somebody
had caned him before he decided to propose. |
wish 1 could take your place I'd make him feel
like fool"
"Oh, l wish you could, Threny You have such
a caustic tongue for people you dislike But If
you will take of papa, shall have enough to
be grateful for" Kitty returned.
'Now, I'll tell you just how to proceed"
Threnodora paused, laid one finger thoughtfully on
her chin, and revoved the plan of campaign in
her mind. "You take him into the parlor and sit
the little tete-atete where we can see your re-
Election in the mirror. Then you act very devoted.
Let him hold your hand and all that sort of thing,
so that your papa can it. Meanwhile will be
lashing the Judge to fury. You can treat Mr..
Waite's proposal as if you considered 1t a joke.
Tell him that If he is only trifing with your af-
fections you want to know it, and when he pro-
tests that he is in earnest, tell him that you have
heard of too many unfortunate girls whose lives
were wrecked by putting condolences In masculine
hirts OF course you will only be sparring for
wind but you have to do it, for 1t doesn't take the
average widower more than five minutes to come
to the point. When you sure he is sincere you
can tell him that you are so grateful, for you have
always had such horror of being an old maid"
"Oh, catch your idea," Kitty exclaimed, as If

CHAPTER XVII.

1t was few minutes after nine o'clock when
Threnodora entered the front door of her own
home There was light in the library, but all
was silent as the grave. Straight to Austin's
apartment the agony in her hands impelled her.
Ealf way I'D the second fight of stairs she paused
breathless and reflected. Hitherto the Curse had
thrown her entire being into her hands, so that
her body seemed almost to have ceased to exist.
Now she felt heavy lassitude as II her limbs
were of lead and her head throbbed wildly
"This is probably some new phase of It," she
unused bitterly "I have no doubt he will search
earth and hell for methods of torture; but can
not aoiH not go to him"

FLOOD DAMAGES AT BOYD'S MILL.
Mr.. Boyd Relates Extent of Havoc
Wrought TO Property OF Power Co.

Following is an item from the New
berry Observer relative to the flood
damages at Boyd's mill:
Mr.. f. M. Boyd, who had been sent
down to install the power plant of the
Reedy River Power company, at the
old Boyd mill on Reedy river, was in
Newberry on Sunday. He had been
out to the river the day before He
found that the river had cut new
channel through hill nearly forty feet
high and had left the dam constructed
by the power company standing off to
one side. A new dam will have to be
constructed to turn the river back in
its former channel. He says that he
found some of the heavy electric mo-
tors down by the power house, at the
foot of the dam, stripped of their box
ing, through the workmen vowed
that they had left them covered with
the boxing in which they were shipped
from the factory oak Stats two inches
thick and fastened with twenty penny
nails.
