Her Worst Fears Were Realized.

spare. nd Fl need you. Phemie. Pm awful lonesome"
 Phemie's face had been settling in- to an expression of stern renunciation, but now it softened and dimpled into a wistful smile
 Are you sure you need me-that l can be of real service to you?"
 "Yes, settled on you because I've know you so long and you've got such an even disposition. I wonder some good man didn't show his ap- preciation long ago; but I guess there's no beaux around now to bother Pickwick and me, eh, Phemie?"
 A slight embarrassed flush warmed Phemie's pale cheeks, but she shook her head carelessly. Miss Bennett never guessed what dreams had bloomed and faded within that quiet breast.
 "Now," said the elder woman, brisk ly, "I'll drive over for you and your belongings Saturday. I've been wish ing Oliver'd come back, but I don't suppose he ever will. He's rover, just like his great-uncle Jason. Good boy, though; writes me and sends things from all the places he goes to- You didn't live here in Divers time did you? Must be nearly of an age. We'll, he's all I've got ana I suppose he'll marry and settle down in some heathenish. far-away country. Now remember, Phemie-Saturday, in time for tea"
 Saturday afternoon found Miss Eu phemia Havens in a state of unusual agitation. It seemed to her that she was taking a very important step, and she had dire misgivings; but partly to conceal her dubious concern and part ly in honor of the occasion-for it had been some time since she had even been invited out to tea-Phemie had put on her best gown of blue batiste and decorated her gray turban with g new pink rose. A white collar at hel throat crossed with little lace jabot Miss Bennett had never seen her look ing more animated and attractive.
 As the two women descended from the carriage and walked up the gray eled path to the cottage, Pickwicf came slowly to meet them; then, some one arose from the low rocker ant stood on the top step leaning out be tween the honeysuckle vines-a broad masculine figure with a big Panama hat swinging in one hand and a genia smile of greeting on his bronze face.
 Hello, Aunt Celia!" boomed out { hearty voice. Don't you know me?"
 ''Why-ee, it's Oliver! Oh, Phemie it's my nephew. This Is Miss Ravens Oliver. She-I've-"
 I've come to stay awhile with Mis- Bennett" interposed Phemie. quietly her cheeks deep-fushed and her eye | dowRcast.

Kansas City. Mo.-Into Tony's place at 402 Main street came the man with a permanent thirst He sidled up to the bar and in a husky whisper an nounced to Jerry, the red-headed bar tender:
 Say, Bo, I got to have a drink an there's no use discussin' any compro- mise. I'd rather drink than eat an my stomach crayes food. Jus to show you I'm all right, even if I hain't got no money, an I'm sincere an all that. here's my false teeth fer one bowl of suds mans size an shy tn collar. Do cash 'em in?"
 You do" replied the bartender, and took the mans upper and lower mas ticators without so much as bat of the eye"
 .'I'H be back and redeem 'em to- night" assured the jag.
 If you don't I'll fit another man to 'em," warned Jerry as he wrapped the molars in piece of tissue paper and rang them up in the cash register as five cents"

ADOPTION OF PHEMIE
Good Resolution of Miss Celia
 Bennett.
By ELLA RANDALL PEARCE.

Miss Celia Bennett looked thought fully after the receding form of her late caller; then a faint smile crept over her face and she nodded her head slowly.
 "P'raps you're right, Phebe Tag gart," she reflected. "P'raps l am a selssh old woman, living here alone in this big, comfortable cottage, just a-boarding my money when 1 might be doing good for some one. P'raps its my duty to adopt somebody-l don't know"
 She sat down in little low rocker and meditatively eyed the big gray cat that approached her in dignified fashion.
 What d'you say, Pickwick? Are we selfish-living alone together, you and I? You know it ain't just what Phebe Taggart says; but I've an ink ling myself that this life is kinder aimless-and lonesome There!"
 Miss Bennett unused a while in silence.
 Its too big responsibility, bring ing up children when you don't know how. Now, grown-up boys and girls they'd just be running away and getting married and leaving me in a little while; and old folks'd be getting sick and leaving me, too, p'raps. I wish Oliyer'd come backi We'll, if Pm to adopt somebody, there's-or, there's Phemie-Phemie Havens!"
 A soft flush mounted to her cheeks and her mild blue eyes sparkled.
 "I'll adopt Phemie-she's past the marrying age, and she's right com panionble, Phemie is. I'll go right over and see her while the spells on."
 Phemie Ravens looked up in star tied surprise when her visitor made known her errand.
 Adopt mel" she faltered. Why, Miss Bennett, I've no claim on you at all. Why should you think of such a thing?"
 Because I want to do something for somebody; and you're good girl, Phemie. You haven't any near of kin, and you're working your eyes out and your back crooked over those little embroidered things that barely keep your soul and body together. You'll have a good home with me and I'll give you an allowance. Of course, my property goes to Oliver-you under stand that-but I've got enough and to

IT'S THE FOOD. The True Way to Correct Nervous
 Troubles.
now ''

Nervous troubles are more often caused by improper food and indiges- ton than most people imagine. Even doctors sometimes overlook this fact. A man says:
 Until two years ago waffles and butter with meat and gravy were the main features of my breakfast. Finally dyspepsia came on and I found myself in bad condition, worse in the morn ing than any other time. I would have a full, sick feeling in my stomach, with pains in my heart, sides and head.
 At times I would have no appetite. for days, then I would feel ravenous, never satisfied when I did eat and so nervous I felt like shreking at the top of my voice. lost flesh badly and one day bought box of Grape-Nuts food to see if l could eat that. I tried it without telling the doctor, and liked it fine made me feel as if had some thing to eat that was satisfying and still I didn't have that heaviness that I had felt after eating any other food.
 'I hadn't drank any coffee then in five weeks. I kept on with the Grape Nuts and in month and half had gained 15 pounds, could eat almost anything I wanted, didn't feel badly after eating and my nervousness was all gone. It's a pleasure to be well again."

Fire Fighters Face Great Dan-
 gers in Forest.
How Pulaski, by Goodness and Bravery Prevented the Loss of Thirty Five of His Crew in
 Cour d'AIene.

New York-Prof Yelling, tanned and toughened by his summers work in the Occur d'Alene national forest reservation, held his eastern visitors spellbound with stories of the fight he had helped to make against the fearful forest fires, says the Youths Compan- ion He had gone out, with two others, under government commission, to study the forest and, coming back in August, they had met the fires and spent almost a month in fighting their way out of them.
 There are real men among those forest rangers he went on. In fact, there is no place for anything that Is not genuine up there.- The most thrill ing story of heroism that I have heard in long time is the story of Ranger Pulaski It did not happen in the part of the reservation where I was, but can youch for it's truth, for have talked with some of the men who were with him.
 Pulaski had forty men under him, and they had been fighting big fire IOI nOuIS- OuuutIlly LhC " AIo ACSN NA- til it blew gale. The fire got beyond them, and it became a question of saving the lives of the men. They were many miles from railroad or a clearing.
 Pulaski remembered that about a mile from where they were working was an abandoned mine shaft that ran back about forty feet into the hillside. He ordered the men to snatch their blankets from the camp and run for this shaft Once there, they packed themselves like sardines into the hole. Pulaski placed himself at the opening and stretched a blanket across it.
 Tn a few minutes the fire overlook them. The blanket at the opening caught and Pulaski jerked it away. Again and again this was done, and when the supply of blankets ran low he held the burning fragments across the mouth of the shaft with his bare hands
 ''The suffering of the men from the heat and smoke was pitiful. They were fairly maddened by it, and some of them made a wild attempt to push their way out of the shaft. For a while Pulaski held them back by sheer physical strength, for he was an un- usually strong man. But he knew that he must soon be overpowered and that the men, in their frenzy, would rush out to certain death. He drew his re- volver and told them that he would kill the first man who attempted to break away. The men knew that he meant it, too. and that knowledge brought them back to reason.
 Tt wasn't more than twenty minutes before the worst of the fire had passed the shaft. When it was safe to crawl out they found that five of the men were dead from suffocation, but the other thirty-fve were all right. Pulas Xii himself was blinded and burned. but his sight was partly restored. He lost five men, to be sure, but with less courage and presence of mind he would have lost them all l take of my hat to such a man. He is a real hero

"Reincarnated Daughter of Pharaoh" Says She Has Rejected Artist
 Ott's Faith.

St. Louis, Mo.-Mrs. Ralph Chesley Ott, "reincarnated daughter of Pha- raoh," who is suing her noted artist husband for a divorce, now denies that she eyer had faith in the old Egyptian gods. She adds that when her two children came she utterly lost all faith in her husbands fantastic belief, and now, if she can recover her children through the courts, she will be satis- fled with realities and forget the dream-talk and theosophy of MT. Ott.
 Ott Is now in Springfield, Mo-, with the two young children, and is expect ed to file a general denial to his wife divorce charges this week. Accord i4 to their stories, she was the Pr1n- cess Amnera 5000 years ago, and he was an artist in the employ of her naughty fa"her, Pharaoh. AS in their modern romance, it was case of love at first sight when the princess and the artist met for the first time in the queens chamber O. the Great Pyra- mid
 Otis modern meeting of his 5000 year-old ideal was at University City, after he had returned from commis- sion to study Egyptian architecture for E. c. Lewis She was then Miss Jane Schauffert. an artists model.
 In discussing her alleged erstwhile tenets, Mrs Ott denied the authorship of the article in regard to her faith which were published over what was claimed to be her signature and she vilitied the poor old gods Of Egypt. Of her husband and children, she declared that she had heard nothing since she left them with relatives oi MT. Ott in Springfield

The Niqht of Gasoline.

Ask me to go to the theater any night in the week except gasoline night and I'll go," said the man.
 What night Is that?" the woman asked.
 Saturday. Women get their gloves home from the cleaners on Saturday or else clean them themselves the last of the week, and the gasoline fumes haven't had time to evaporate. Half the women you meet in crowd on Saturday night carry gasoline odor about on their gloves. In hot. stuffy place, that is pretty bad. On Monday night gasoline still perfumes the air, but 1t is getting faint and can stand it, but not on Saturday"

Libraries on Shipboard.

The navy department spends every year $30000 for libraries for use on its ships. Each ships" library includes 300 books, mostly technical, and more or less expensive on that ac- count. A "crew's" library is usually made up of about five hundred books on fiction and of such character suit able for entertainment About one- third of the books are replaced each year The changes are made upon the recommendation of those in charge of the ships, but 1t has developed that this is not a satisfactory method, as much depends upon the points of view on literature possessed by the respon- sible persons. So 1t Is proposed to standardize the libraries by making the changes in Washington, applying them generally to all ships. It Is fur ther held that this plan would work for economy, effecting saving of from ten to fifteen thousand dollars a year.
