WHEN BROTHER
FRED CANE
BY Claudine SissOn


Seated before a bright CRATE fire in
Trio library VITA good cigar in bis
mouth ana his feet in another chair,
Tommy Glens was content. Without
was a winter blizzard, with snow pill
ing up to the tops Of the fences and
a gale chasing itself down the coun-
try highway; within the house was
no other human being. The mother
had gone away the day before on a
short visit, and the cook had been
given two days holiday Tommy had
felt himself able to wrestle with skill
let and coffee pot, and had been left
to do It.
Tommy Glens gravitated between
the city and his mothers manor
house. He was supposed to be study
ing for the bar, but he wasn't wear
ing out his brains. He had been at it
year, and yet he doubted If he could
fill out the blank spaces in a bill Of
sale. Tommy, being twenty-four years
old, was supposed to have his eye out
for matrimony, but he hadn't. Tom
my wasn't looking for trouble in and
direction. He just wanted to be let
alone and take comfort.
And so the gale reared, the snow
fell, the drifts piled up, and Tommy
Glens smoked and read and yawned
and wondered why so many people
spent so much time in kicking when
the kicks did no good.
A mile away, an hour or so before
the lone young man sat down, Miss
Nellie Grafton looked from the win
dow on the storm for a minute and
then turned to her mother and said:
why, mother, it's growing worse
all the time!"
"Yes?"

! 81 guess it is"
"But I've got to drive to the depot
with the cutter to get Fred. He isn't
very we'll, you know, and he couldn't
walk a mile and a half through this
storm. He'll try to, though, If I'm
not there"
Brother Fred was to come from
the city on the Z o'clock train. Had
his train come through he would have
been with 1t, and just outside Of the
depot he would have found three

CREW OF COLUMBUS.

The list Of the officers and sailors
in the first voyage of Columbus was
almost cosmopolitan in its character.
Among them there was Jew, Luis
de Torres; an Englishman, Arthur
Laws; Italians, Portuguese, Span
iards and several other nationalities,
though, of course, the Spaniards
were largely in the majority. 1t is
maintained by some authorities, with
considerable plausibility, too, that
there was a Scotchman in the list,
and that after Columbus himself he
was the first man to tread the soil
of the new world.

cHILD's BEAUTIFUL IDEA.

Elsie, seeing a piece of velvet for
the first time, was struck by finding
that one side was smooth, soft and
glossy, while the other was soft and
cottony. Her mother explained to
her that there were generally two
sides to thing. Shortly after this
Elsie, while out walking with her
mother one clear night, looked up
into the dusky sky and, seeing the
whole heavens thickly studded with
stars cried: 80, mother, if the
wrong side Of heaven is so beautiful,
what must the other side be"

SEAT OF HUNGER AND THIRST.

Whether the hunger sense has its
seat in the stomach and thirst in the
throat has been a subject of much
scientific controversy. The italian
physician, Valenti, now puts the
seat of both these emotions in the
gullet; he found that cocaine in
lection in the oesophagus (the chan
mel from the mouth to the stomach)
resulted in immediate suppression
of the feeling of both hunger and
thirst. Savages have long known
that the chewing of coca leaves rem
ders the gullet inseRsitive and de-
stroys any desire for food or drink.

Mnntad AT.

In a certain banking establishment
of California there is wonderful oil
painting which In certain way rep
resents a real waste OF art.
This painting. which is a large
one, shows several barrels OF full
size which are overlooking with
money-gold and bank notes amount
ing in all to 100000. The money is
painted with remarkable accuracy,
and when viewed from proper dis
lance looks like the real thing.
In fact, the excellence of the work
is the real drawback TO this picture.
The treasury authorities have no
tiled the bank ofiicials that the
painting Is in violation Of the law
forbidding the reproduction Of
money tokens issued by the govern
ment, and that it may be conhscated
unless 1t is withdrawn from exhibit
tion. Manifestly the artist painted
better than he knew.

morning you can come over here

He led the way to the second story.
1t was an easy matter for him to lift
her over the high railing to the
porch which separated the two
houses.

dark she whispered. THANK you so

with the pleasure Of Aer praise.

There was silence for a moment,
then a timid voice responded:
"If you could only let me in"
wait" Bernard whispered, and
went down and opened the door.
A girl stood outside. She was all
In white and wore her satiny dark
hair wound youthfully about her
head. There were signs of tears on
her cheeks.

She shrank back. ooh, no, did
not mean that l wanted to come into
your house It is this other door that
Is closed against me-
With her hand she indicated the
door adjoining, which led into the
next house. "My uncle" she ex-
planned, has locked me out. He

and until / consent he says shall

"Have you any friends?" Bernard

"And you cannot stay here-if my

The girl had made Roadway untn
exhausted, and the point reached hap
pened to be in front OF the Glens
house. Three or four calls for help.
and then Miss Nellie was a huddle In
the snow. She only dimly realized II
when she was carried into the house
and the warm library and placed in
the big rocking chair, and TO this day
she is not sure that Tommy Glens
danced around her and exclaimed:
what shall do--damn Il, what
shall dol It's a girl. emo N I don't
do something she'll die!"
Tommy had done nothing as yet
not even to look for the brush broom
to brush away the snow, when the
victim revived enough to say:
"a little wine or brandy please"
In thirty seconds Tommy had the
decanter from the sideboard, and the
drink he poured out would have made
a horse dizzy for the next three days.
Miss Nellie only slipped It, ahd about
five sips made her sit up AMI say:
How silly of mel thought I
could face the storm all right"
you would have frozen to death.
but / happened to hear your cries. I
guess you are all right now, though
Let me turn the chair to the fire."
"rll wait a few minutes and see II
the storm doesn't let up. Your moth
er has retired, suppose?"
"She's away"
what"
"And so is everybody else and I'm
alone in the house"
'"You here alonel" exclaimed Miss
Nellie as she rose up and staggered
toward the door. Il"
ooh, come, now, Miss-Miss Graf
ton, think it must be-you can't go
out into this STORM" pleaded Tom
my.
But you see-you see
"You go back and sit down and III
go out myself. I'll go up into the
garrett I'll go down cellar. I'll find
a nice warm snow drift. My name is
Tommy Glens, If you don't know it,
and I'm perfectly willing to have my
ears frozen for your sake"
The girl halted, smiled and re-
turned to her chair to say:
'Tm afraid you wouldn't look well
with your ears amputated. Sit down
and we'll talk. have met your moth
er, and a dear old lady she is, but L
have not seen you before. You may
have met my brother, Fred?"
moo, but 1 shall very soon now"
"But we are to talk about reci-
procity, the tariff, woman suffrage and
all that, you know. Now, then, be-
gin; and will take the other side for
arguments sake" ~
1t was two hours later that the des-
perate brother Fred, after being al
most frozen in looking for a quite
frozen sister, stumbled up to the door
and rang the bell and disturbed a
kheated argument as to whether old
Eahaids should be given the ballot along
with the rest Of the sex. There were
EXPLANATIONS and explanations, and in
the midst of them Tommy drew Fred
to the front door and outside it to
say:
mr. Grafton, we are having bliz
gard"
''Well?"
"And 1 want your permission to
pay my addresses to your sister with
view to matrimony."
you've got nerve to drag me out
here in this storm to tell me that.
But I like nerve Go ahead"
And as the other sex admires nerve
up to certain point Mr.. Tommy went
ahead.

came up.
Il heard some one last night sob
blng IN the garden" said the young
man.
1T was Lois" said the other. Il
meant to play IA Joke on her. She
must have taken me seriously and
gone away"
what was your joker" Bernard
questioned gravely.
II made her think was angry, and
locked tho door on her"
Bernard looked toward the river
that flowed sluggishly at the foot OF
the garden.
"she might have gone that way"
he said.
The old man clutched at his arm
"You don't mean--you don't mean"
he quavered.
"Who knows7" said the astute
Bernard and shrugged his shoulders.
After that the old man frantically
appealed to him "will you help me
look for herr" But Bernard shook
his head "If you found her, what
them" he asked.
"She should have her own way-I
tried to force her to do my will-but
now she shall do as she wishes"
Then Bernard told him. "She is
with farmers wife on the outskirts
of the town. But you must not go to
her. She is not in a mood to forgive
YOU"
Thoroughly humbled, the old man
( asked. what shall I do?"
I write her a note, and | will take
it," said Bernard. and thus 1t came
about that he was the messenger be-
tween these two.
Il will never go back" the girl de-
clared passionateiy. 81 must find
some work to do. want to earn my
living, and be free"
Martha is glad to have you with
her." he said; "don't worry"
But she was still burdened with the
thought of her dependence, until one
day he came and found her radiant.
81 am going to make marmalade
and sell it to the people where
Marthas husband delivers butter. I
have a delicious recipe. 1t was my
mothers. She was a California wo-
man, and her orange marmalade was
famous. And even If / begin in a
small way 1 can pay Martha some
thing"
His heart rejoiced to see her hap
by, and he rejoiced, too, to know that
she would stay where he might see
her daily.
One morning. her uncle went with
him to the farm.
Come back with me, Lois" he
begged, but she shook her head
81 may seem hard" she said, "but
there is always before me the vision
of that closed door, and of you on
the other side of it, deaf to all my
pleadings."
Bernard and the old man grew to
be good friends. They sat often m
the garden and talked of Lois. IF
could only have her back" the old
man would sigh.
One morning Bernard said, Il am
going to ask her to come-but II she
does, she must live on my side of the
garden"
"You mean?" the old man gasped.
"That / want to marry her." said
Bernard.
GO ask her-go ask her," the
other urged, eagerly. Maybe she
will do for you what she would not
do for me-"
But when Bernard asked her, Lois
shook her head. "You are sorry for
me-" she said, "that's why you are
doing it,"
He took both of her hands in his.
'I shall be very sorry for myself,
he said gently, 'if you close the door
of your heart against me. Just think
of me as standing without, begging
to be let in"
She hid her face against his coat.
ooh, if you feel that way about it, .
she murmured, 81 suppose l shall
have to say yes Bernard"

WENT LONG WAY
ROUND FOR 81
Especial to TR, TIMEs.)

Whiting, Ind, March 1S-John Fur
tyo. saloonkeeper on Center street
has been buncoed to the extent of 81.
ana a new means of defrauding VIC
Tins has thereby come to light On
last Friday two men entered Furtyo's
saloon and gave him a hard luck story
The strangers said they were railroad
men, but being out of work at the pres
ent time they were up against 1t for
FUNDS. They told Furtyo that they had
number of friends on the Lake Shore
railroad who had thrown them off a
quantity of coal. This they told him
they had in a shed on Front street
Murtyo inquired as to the amount OF
coal and they informed him that 1t
was ton. but he could have it.for 81
and the money would assist them in
reaching their destination.
To be sure that all was well Furtyo
accompanied the two men to 10th and
Center streets where in the shed was
much more than a ton of coal Think
ing he was getting a fine bargain Fur
tyo willingly handed over the 81. and
after thanking him for helping them
out the men departed
The next thing for Furtyo to do was
to find a means of getting the coal to
his place. Enlisting the services of a
number of his friends he furnished
them with baskets and bags and super
intended the work, Furtyo accompany
ing them TO the shed in the rear of the
building formerly occupied by Joseph
Won Rembow, which is now empty. All
agreed that F'urtyo had struck a great
bargain and with evidently few
treats in view which the men expected
to secure for their work they ali went
to work ambitiously filing up their
baskets and bags
They were Just leaving the shed with
their burdens when an angry female
voice was heard saying, Say, where
are you going with that coal?. The
men all being surprised, dropped the
coal. and looking back saw Mrs Annie
Dacey standing on her porch waving
her hands and yelling at them.
1t was indeed a very compIicating
AFFAIR and IL was several moments be-
fore every one could grasp the situa-
ton.
Mrs. Dacey conducts a confectionery
store next to the vacant building. and
having no suitable coal shed she was
given the privilege of putting her coal
in there. The fact of the matter was
that the con" men had sold Mrs. Da-
ceys coal and when Furtyo realized
that in spite OF his suspicious that all
was not right In the beginning. and
then to be convinced that they were
when they were not he became angry
and reported his being swindled to the
police. giving a description of the men.
BY that time the men had managed to
get quite a distance and nothing could
be done to help matters any
Furtyo. however. will not forget the
incident for some time. and any one
who offers him coal at reduced prices
had better beware
