LUCKY MISTAKE.
Grocer Sent Pkg. of Postum and
Opened the Eyes of the Family.

A lady writes from Brookline, Mass:
"a package of Postum was sent me
one day by mistake.
Il notified the grocer, but finding
that there was no coffee for breakfast
next morning I prepared some of the
Postum, following the directions very
carefully.
cit was an immediate success in my
family, and from that day we have
used it constantly, parents and chill
dren, too-for my three rosy young
sters are allowed to drink it freely at
breakfast and luncheon. They think it
delicious, and I would have a mutiny
on my hands should 1 omit the be-
loved beverage.
my husband used to have a very
delicate stomach while we were using
coffee, but to our surprise his stom-
ach has grown strong and entirely well
since we quit coffee and have been on
Postum.
Noting the good effects in my fam
lily I wrote to my sister, who was a
coffee topper, and after much persua-
sion got her to try Postum.
"She was prejudiced against it at
first, but when she presently found
that all the ailments that coffee gave
her left and she got well quickly she
became and remains a thorough and
enthusiastic Postum convert.
"Her nerves, which had become
shattered by the use Of coffee have
grown healthy again, and today she Is
a new woman, thanks to Postum"

ONE ON THE OLD GENTLEMAN
Absolute Fact Destroyed Force Of
WeII-Meant Argument for
Temperance.

On a pleasant Sunday afternoon an
old German and his youngest son were
seated in the village inn. The father
had partaken literally of the home
brewed beer, and was warning his son
against the evils of intemperance.
Never drink too much, my son.. A
gentleman stops when he has enough.
To be drunk is a disgrace"
YES, father, but how car I tell
when | have enough or am drunk?"
The old man pointed with his finger.
DO you see those two men sitting in
the corner? If you should see four
men there, you would be drunk"
The boy looked long and earnestly.
"Yes, father, but-but-there is only
one man in that corner.'-Lippin'
colts.

above the crest. He hardly expected
q glimpse of Roscoe so soon, having
no reason to think he would be here,
but he began scanning the earth's sur
face closely with the idea of accustom-
ing his eyes to the light and the dis
lance. Yet it was not his eyes, but
his sensitive nostrils which gave him
his first hint of the probable where
about of the man he was looking for.
The frozen air which he had been
drawing deep into his lungs was odor-
less. save for the family acrid sugges-
ton of ozone about it-a thing, by the
way, which he was puzzled to account
for, unless it presaged some titanic
electrical display in the sky.
But the odor which now invaded his
fastidious nostrils automatically
checked his fight. He tilted back his
planes and his momentum sent him
towering almost vertically aloft. He
did lot analyze it-not that first In
slant, but his sensation was the same
n that makes a dog suddenly throw
up it's head and snarl, bristling.
1t a moment he knew that it was
smoke, the smoke of no clean, spar
king wood fire, but of smouldering
bones and the flesh Of some animal.
Slowly he began to descend in the
sweeping circles of a great spiral, CON
stantly searching with an eagerness,
which amounted almost to an agony,
for the point Of angry red which would
tell him where his enemy was to be
found. He had no doubt at all that
his enemy was there. The man who
had laid that fire was likely to be
sleeping beside it.
He was within 20 feet of the level
Of the ice before his little mirror OF
concave silver caught the CLEAN OF
red that he was looking for.
He threw his head back sharply and
gazed at it. He could not see the fire
itself-that must be hidden behind the
great rock which almost blocked b
entrance to what must be the cave.
The CLEAN he had caught in his
mirror had been reflected in turn
from the cleaning surface of a mass
Of ice a little farther out.
He slanted away again, searching
now for a level place to alight, found
IL WlIu1u 1VO ydlO0 VI tAO
circled once completely round, to
make sure that he could not be sur
prised in the act of getting clear OF
his wings, and a moment later came
down soundlessly, except with a faint
slither of his planes, upon the Ice.
He bounded almost instantly to his
feet, slipped his knife out of his belt
and held the heft Of it between his
teeth while he furled his planes. That
done, he deposited the bundle In the
angle of a projecting rock, and stealth
lily made his way toward the cave
mouth.
At the very edge OF the shelter al
forded by the rock he paused for an
instant; then, with every nerve tuned
to the highest pitch-with e mus
Gle in a state of supple relaxation, yet
instantly ready for any demand thai
might be made upon it-he stepped
round the corner and into the mouth
of the ave.

His ThouqhtfuI Wife.


81 hate to boast" said a Cleveland
lawyer, but my wife is n of the
most economical women in the world.
The other day she told me she needed
a new suit. l said she ought to have
it, by all means, but asked her not to
spend a big bunch of money without
letting me know about it. Well, the
next day she said: The tailor said he
couldn't make the suit for less than
$3.50. thought it was too much, but
told him to go ahead

What is It? What's happened,
Philip" she asked, as she turned.
He did not answer at once. He was
bending over the hole formed by the
top Of the ice chimney and rather de-
uberately replacing the wooden cover
upon it. When he did straighten up
at last, and she saw his face, she
knew her instinct had not lied to her.

Philip"
HE has found our stores down be,
low here. He has taken everything

There was a little silence after that.
Before she spoke again she came over
to him and kissed him. There was q
grave sort Of smile on her face when
she said:

But I sha'n't have the revolver!"
There was IN electric moment OF
silence between them, while she gazed
into his face, Mortified at the meaning
she read there.

PhiHp-you can't mean that. And
leave you to face that monster un-

Listen, Jeanne. If I can find him,

Like the motions of marionettes. The

of picking me OF at long range with
his rifle. He could do that whether

then-well, then he would come here

should be unnerved with terror from
the moment I left you"
With a sob she clasped her arms
about his neck and held him tight.
Then, in tragic submission, they
dropped away.
Without saying anything more, Cay
ley blew out the candle, opened the
door into the tunnel and took up his
furled wings. With trembling hands
she helped him spread them and draw
them taut.
AS he adjusted the straps across his
shoulders, he felt her hands again,
upon his head, felt them clasp behind
his neck.
"Goodby," she said.
He was trembling all over, as her
hands were, but it vas not with fear.
81 shall come back SAFE" he said.
Nothing can harm me tonight"
He pulled her up close in his en-
folding arms and kissed her mouth.
In an instant he turned and dived OF
the cliff-head into the night.
He headed up into the wind, and
hung for a moment soaring upon q
fairly steady current Of air that
poured along parallel to the cliff.
When he reached the glacier he
checked his speed q little and

more than two or three hundred feet
