With that irrelevant interiection the
young woman stopped suddenly,
caught up the tape, and shouted,
"Slateville & Maydale-SSl"
Alexander Calvin Wheatly resumed
his chair

"lf you'd give us your blessing, you

dropped the tape and slipped her arm
through Dams.

glared at them like a stage-father
Suppose refuse your terms?"
Then you'll have to buy the stock

mo, Dan, dear, the girl went to
the ticker-"its 80 now"
The face of the president of the
Power Company twitched in a most
peculiar way. He squirmed in his chair,
he coughed, he smoothed his silk hat,
he blew his nose, he cleared his
throat; then he spoke.
"Of course-eh-there's no use-in
getting angry-over it,"
lie said no more. The secretary and
treasurer of the Slateville & Maydale
interrupted him by throwing herself
violently into his arms, Il knew you'd
come around, popsy, d-e-a-r!"
What? eh? hum! - objected
the fnancier
Dear me! I've mussed your hairl

plastered down the gray hair over the
bald spot, adjusted the white tie, and
curled herself up in his lap.
Dan turned to the ticker Slate
vile & Maydale-91-92," he OBJ
served with an air of just realizing
the strength Of the stock.
Isn't he clever, popsy?
TOO confoundedly clever to keep
out of the family"
Eta stifed the speaker with a ter
rife hug, then, transferring her dem
onstrations to Dan, smiled bewitching-
ly and whispered: 1T floats! 1t
1oats!"
"Eh? What's that, sweet imp?"
"The Daniel Moran-Etta Calvin
Wheatly Home & Fireside, Love &c

While Alexander Calvin Wheatly,
with a whimsical frown, was figuring
on the back of an envelope, Dan
caught up the tape, wound it about
his partners white throat, and-kissed
her.

FOOTSTEPS
OF KATY

Only Alma had liYed-Alma, the
last born. The other five. one aftei
another, had slipped from lovihg
clinging arms into the great Silence
leaving worse than a silence behin'
them; and neither Nathan Kelsey mol
his wife, Mary, could have told you
which hurt the most-the saying OF
a last good-by to a stalwart, grown
lad of 20, or the folding of tiny, waxen
hands over heart that had not count
ed a year of beating. Yet both had
fallen to their lot.
As for Alma-Alma carried in her
dainty self all the love, hopes, tender
ness, ambitions, and prayers that 9TH
erwise would have been bestowed up
on six. And Alma was coming home.
Mary" said Nathan one June
evening, as he and his wife sat on the
back porch, Il saw Jim Hopkins ter
day. Katy's got home"
Hmm, the low rocker swayed
gently to and fro,-"Katy's been ter
college, same as Alma, ye know"
Yes; an'-an' that's what Jim was
talkin' bout. He was feelin bad
powerful bad"
"Bad!"-the rocker stopped abrupt
ly. Why, Nathan!"
Yes; he" there was a pause, then
the words came with the rush Of des-
peration. "He said home want like
home no more. That Katy was good
girl, an they was proud of her; but
she was turrible upsettin'. Jim has
ter rig up nights now ter eat supper
put on his coat an billed collar; an
he says he's got so he don't da'st ter

why, Nathan why not?"
"Cause of-Katy. Jim says there
don't nothin' they say suit Katy-'bout
its wordin', I mean. She changes it
an tells EN- what they'd orter said"
"Why, the saucy little baggage! -
the rocker resumed its swaying, and
Mary Kelsey's foot came down on the
porch floor with decided, rhythmic
pats.
The man stirred restlessly.
But she amt sassy, Mary" he de-
murred Jim says Katy's that sweet

ais. Nathan, warm and uncomfort'
able in his Sunday suit and stiff col
lar, had long since driven to the sta
tion for Alma The house, brushed
and scrubbed into a state Of specklesi
order, was thrown wide open to vel
come the returning daughter At O
quarter before six she came.
Mother, you darling!" cried a
voice, and Mrs. Kelsey found herself
in the clasp of strong arms, and gaz-
ing into a flushed, eager face Don't
you look good And doesn't every
thing look good" finished the girl.
Does It'll mean, do it?" quaVered
the little woman, excitedly. "Oh, Al
ma, l am glad ter see ye!"
Behind Alma's back Nathan flicked
a bit of dust from his coat. The next
instant he raised furtiye hand and
gave his collar and neckband a saw
age pull.
At the supper-table that night ten
minutes of eager questioning on the
part of Alma had gone by before Mrs.
Kelsey realized that thus far their
conversation had been Of nothing
more important than Nathan's rheu-
matism, her own health, and the well
fare of Rover, Tabby, and the mare
Topsy. Commensurate with the hap
piness that had been hers during
those ten minutes came now her re-
morse. She hastened to make
amends.
There, there, Alma, beg your par
don, I'm sure hain't-er-I haven't
meant ter keep ye tallin on such tri-
fin things, dear. Now talk ter us yer
self. Tell US about things-anythin',
-anythin' on the table or in the
room," she said feverishly.
For a moment the merry-faced girl
stared in frank amazement at her
mother; then she laughed gleefully.
"On the table? In the room?" she
retorted. "Well, it's the dearest room
ever and looks so good to me! As
for the table-the rolls are feathers,
the coffee is nectar, and the straw
berries-well, the strawberries are
just strawberries-they couldn't be
nicer"
"Oh, Alma, but I didn't mean"
"Tut, tut, TUT" interrupted Alma,
laughingly. Just as if the cook didn't
like her handiwork praised! Why
when I draw a picture-oh, and l
haven't told you!" she broke off ex-
citedly. The next instant she was on
her feet. alma Mead Kelsey, Illus
traitor; at your service" she an
nounced, with low bow. Then she
dropped into her seat again and went
on speaking.
"You see, I've been doing this sort
of thing for some time, " she explained,
"and have had some success in selling.
My teacher has always encouraged
me, and acting on his advice, l stayed
over in New York a weekwith friend

"WelI, by sugar" calculated the
man at the head of the table.
"Oh-h-h!" breathed the little wom-
an opposite. "Oh, Alma, I'm so glad!"
In spite of Mrs. Kelsey's protests
that night after supper, Alma tripped |
about the kitchen and pantry wiping |
the dishes and putting them away.

Electric OzOnizer
Makes Fresh Air

You may now have all the pure
invigorating air you want. 1t is
made by electricity. A small cleo
trio machine, called the Ozonizer,
placed in the room where you work
or sit, makes mountain air for you
as long as you want it.
In high attitudes the wholesome
qualities Of the air are due to the
fact that considerable amount of
the oxygen of the air exists in the
form of ozone. Ozone Is a sort of a
tonic, as it were, for the red blood
cells germ destroyer, and has the
power to neutralize gases and odors
from organic decay. This form of
oxygen is also present in the air of
any locality after a thunderstorm.
There now is a means of supply
ing ozone to the workers in base
ments, to the families at home, and
to the sick in the hospitals. A box
Is fitted with some small square
steel plates from which project
several thousand points similar to
the teeth of saw. The plates are
stood on edge so that the teeth
facing each other form narrow pas
sages. This may be attached to an
electric light circuit. The electric
current sets in motion a fan which
causes a current of air to pass into
the box through holes In the bottom
and forces it through the passages
between the steel points. The cleo
trio current makes tiny sparks on
these steel points and the air is here
subjected to a miniature thunder
storm and undergoes the same pro-
cess which nature employs for
"toning" up the air. The ozone
bearing air is released from the box
through a fine screen and per-
meates the air of the room in which
the ozonizer is placed.
The size intended for use in fac
tories is about two feet high. The
size for the doctor or the nurse
about half that size.
A person suffering from pulmon-
airy tuberculosis, catarrh, asthma, or
any sort of Inflammation of the
lungs, throat, nose or bronchial
tubes can take the fresh air treat
ment at home. The ozonizer placed
by the side of the bed on a level
with the pillow, allows the patient
to breathe the ozone as it leaves the
screen. There is a special attach
ment for use in aggravated cases of
asthma, tuberculosis, etc, which
enables the sufferer to inhale the
vitalized air direct from the ma
chine. And so by the aid of small
machine and an electric current
many, who would otherwise be bust
ling off to a SUMNER Cline" may
remain quietly at home and those
who must remain in Easements or
other places difficult to ventilate,
may have constant supply of fresh
air.
