It angered him, too, to see how the mere sight of him standing in the doorway had thrown into confusion the pretty scene on which he had been looking. Strengthening himself with an air of mpudence and command that made he poor teacher shake with fright, he replied to her question.

 As Sam watched the little people about the tables began to model clay while the teacher told a story of a mother bird and her birdlings; and one after another of the pretty children went to her to show the nest and eggs which had grown as the tale pro. gressed.

 "Good-by!" they shouted in chorus. and the little girl whose weaving he had described as blooming pretty" cried:

 Sam stepped into the open air, and looked at the blue sky, and up and down the road, and then walked off with his hands thrust deep into his pockets, whistling very loudly the march the teacher had just played.

 The blocks were being put away to the music of merry tune, when the teachers voice reached him as from a distance. and her face was seen as through a mist.

 She had placed them in line, with the tallest boy at the head. and was pass ing by him to go to the piano, when the tramp suddenly exclaimed:

 Sam now was sure of her identity. She was Sal, the baby. He looked at her keenly, then sat down, saying. briefly:

 While the merry march sounded against his deaf ears, Sam revolved the situation. Under ordinary circum- stances, If he had found anyone whose leg he could pull" he would have pulled it without hesitation Some thing of the sort he thought of now for he had no doubt but that he could persuade her of his identity, even though her baby mind had retained no memory of the tenement-house days.

 If there IS huttering or palpi- tation 1t IS an indication of a weakness of the nerves and mus cles of the heart. It is not neces- sarily diseased-just weak from over-work. The heart may be weak just the same as the eyes, stomach or other organs. You can make a weak heart strong by taking Dr. Miles Heart Rem edy.

 When appetite fails, it restores it. When food is a burden, it lifts the burden.
 When you lose flesh, it brings the plumpness of health. When work is hard and duty is heavy, it makes life bright. It is the thin edge of the wedge; the thick end is food.

Coal Companies
 Blame High Prices
 On Increased Wages

Philadelphia, May 19. - Testimony tending to show that the burden of re- spor sibility for the present high price of coal cannot be placed on the coal companies was brought out at the hearing of the suit of the Government to dissolve the alleged anthracite coal trust.
 One of the principal witnesses exam ined was w. J. Richards, vice" presi- dent and general manager of the Phil adelphia & Reading Coal and Iron Company which corporation is now presenting its side of the case. He said that from 1900 to the pres ent time the total increase in the cost of labor has amounted to 43 cents a ton. He produced figures to show that the wages earned by the men em- ployed by his company had increased from $S,1 ,S36 in 1898 to S15,7S5,527 in 1908.
 Theodore Voorhees. vice president of the Philadelphia & Reading Railway Company, was called to show that the cost of railroad equipment had in creased from 30 to 40 per cent. since the change from wooden to steel cars.
