they were Just father and me, Wal
ter. And every picture that he has
bought he has given away. That
splendid painting at the Metropolitan
hospital, for instance. was presented
by father, on the understanding that
his name should not be made public.
And your old Man ON a Doorstep
which you thought 81 highly of-that
was given by father to the public
school on Thirtieth street and not
bought by them. And SO with every
thing. If 1t wasn't for father, Enoch
would still be paying you $25 apiece
and you wouldn't have made anything
more than you used to do. And now
l know that things are back just
where they were two years ago, and
l oughtn't to have told you, but l
couldn't marry you with a lie in my
heart, Walter. So kiss me once and
then I will leave you and not e you
again until-why, Walter!"
He was bending over her and laugh
ing, and the kiss that he gave her
did not seem in the least like a fare
we'll kiss, but rather a harbinger OF
many kisses to come.
Walter! You aren't going to leave
me? You are going to forgive me?'
Mollie whispered i~ncredulously.
Walter sat down in his chair again
and drew her on his knee and kissed
the last of the tears away.
Now you listen to me, Mollie, and
don't you interrupt me until | am
through" he began. "Of course if l
had known Of that little trick should
have been extremely angry. But it
has helped me in more ways than you
imagine. In the first place, this CIV
ing away Of my paintings to hospitals
and schools has advertised me and
created a demand for my work"
Eyes," breathed Mollie.
and only last Friday I was in at
Wallis's and he said to me: I wish
you wouldn't give all your work to
Enoch, Mr.. Barrett. Why don't you
let me have some of it? So | told
him that l had made a years contract
with Enoch to give him SO many pic
lures and that l couldn't break it. And
what do you think? Well, if hadn't
entered into that arrangement | should
have been able to dispose Of my work
at just about twice as much again,
and if my pictures hadn't been dis
persed throughout the city l could
have a collected exhibit this winter as
Wallis wants. So that you and my
respected fa~ther-in-law to be have de-
prived me Of just about half a years
income"
"Walter!"
Five thousand dollars, and I'm go
ting to get it back from you
How" asked Mollie, sm- g.
"One dollar apiece" answered Wal
ter. Five thousand kisses at COM
pound interest, doubling themselves
In five and twenty years.

USE OF
PRACTICALLY
For Bilious Attacks, Constipation and All
Liver Troubles. Dangerous Calomel
Gives Way to Dodson's Liver Tone.

Every druggist in the state has no.
ticed a great falling off in the sale of
calomel. They all give the same rea
son. Dodson's Liver Tone is taking
its place.
''Calomel is often dangerous and
people know it, while Dodson's Liver
Tone is perfectly safe and gives better
results" says Clifton's Pharmacy.
Dodson's Liver Tone is personally
guaranteed by Clifton's Pharmacy who
sell it. A large bottle costs so cents,
and if it fails to give every relief in
every case of sluggishness. you have
only to ask for your money back. 1t
will be promptly returned.
DodsOn's Liver Tone IS a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy
harmless to both children and adults.
A bottle in the house may save you a
days work or keep your childred from
missing school. Keep your liver work
ing and your liver will not keep you
from working.

BUDGET FOR THE HOUSEHOLD
One Of the Most Valuable Schemes for
Bringing About Economics n
Stopping the Small Leaks.

Practical application of the budget
plan to household as well as to city
and state finances Is something new.
Helen Louise Johnson writes of it un-
der the title, "The Gospel Of the New
Housekeeping" in Harper's Bazaar as
follows:
There is a very evident desire on
the part of many people, forced upon
them perhaps by the economic condi-
tons of the day, to learn to disburse
or use their in a better way.
Economy is becoming the fashion.
Right here we have need to remem-
Der what Ruskin told us many years
ago: We have warped the word econ
omy in our English language into a
meaning which it has no business to
bear. In our use of it it constantly
signifies merely saving or sparing
Economy no more e a saving mon
ey than it means spending money. 1t
means the administration Of a house,
it's stewardship, spending or saving
money or time or anything else to the
best possible advantage
''This is the meaning of the budget,
but this is not all. For the spending
or the saving of money is only n Of
the means to an end, and it is the fall
ure to see this end which is making
so much unnecessary trouble in SO
many homes.
"The ideal, or aim, for which every
budget is directly planned is freedom
"a definite freeing Of time, strength
and money that these may
be used for the attainment Of what
we have termed the higher life. Nee
essary as food, clothing and shelter &C
tually are in all their varied forms
which make for the greater distribu-
ton of expenditure, they too are but
means to the greater end Of life."

Bows Mistake.

P. F. Fogarty of the Northern Pa
cific railroad was talking in Portland
about the $4,000, 900 order for new
equipment that he has just placed.
"The cause of this order, the larg.

prosperity. Real prosperity. Not the
kind young Husk encountered.
Young Cornelius Husk was about
to try his fortune in New York.
"'Now, Corny,' his old g~rahXfhoth-
er said, don't desert the narrow path
of righteousness when you get to that
rich city where money is so plentiful
that they say the streets are eve
paved with gold
"Husk promised his grandmother
to behave himself, and in due ourse
he reached New York. He got out
at the station and. started down Sew
enth avenue, when he saw, g~littering
in the gutter a bright %ten-dollar gold
piece.
HE picked up the coin joyfully, and
was about to place it in his purse,
when a blind beggar caught his eye.
"a wave of genuine sympathy surged
through him and he handed the beg
gar his rich find.
Here, take it, he said. I a see
'em, you can't.'"-New York Times.

She REALLY CARED
And Earle Barton Discovered
That He Had a True Life
Partner.
BY FLORENCE LILLIAN HENDER.
SON.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES"
The hammer Of the auctioneer came
down with a final tap. The man Of
bids waved his hand towards the
cashiers desk. Earle Barton paid
four dollars, gave his name and ad-
dress, received a package wrapped
in tissue paper and regained his COM
panion, Ward Tolman.
Whatever induced you to pay that
money for a toy that looked to me
like a cross between a baby's rattle
and a nutmeg grater?" rallied young
Tolman.
well, in the first place it was
cheap, and further, it is quite an odd
ity," replied Earle, but he did not dis
close for whom the purchase was in
tended.
What is it, anyhow" inquired Toll
man.
ut is a called a prayer mill. I sup
pose that doesn't tell you much, so
I'll show it to you"
Earle removed the so-called toy
from it's wrappings. It's form was
box-like, with a little ivory handle.
There was a slot across it, and as the
handle was turned a silk ribbon
showed between two rollers. This
ribbon was covered with hero
glyphics printed in gold letters.
1.-THE mill came from Thibet," said
Earle. "It is made by the priests in
that great city Of mystery, Lhassa, a
place where they visit the intrusion
Of a stranger with death. The de-
voice when he wishes to pray, sim
ply turns the mill and his work is
done for him."
IT see," nodded Tolman carelessly;
"but how do you come to know SO
much about these curios?"
Earle flushed deeply and evaded a
direct response. He went on to tell
that he had a certain liking for an
tiques. The auctioneer had interested
him by narrating the story Of a ma
tive priest of Thibet travelling in the
United States, who had died in debt
and whose effects had been sold to
bury the poor fellow. The name Of
the man was engraved OF the mill

The friends parted, Tolman, who
had money and position, to attend
some social function, Earle, who had

very little, to proceed to the nearest
express office and send the prayer
mill package to Miss zelda Tresham,
Maybrook. Then he went to his
rather cheerless room where he was
making a struggle Of life trying to
write for the newspapers.
Maybrook was the little country
months previous. zelda Tresham
was the one young lady in that vii
lage for whom he entertained a
warmer sentiment than she had ever
OWNED. Tolman, making a visit to
the city, had come across Earle. Only
casually had Earle ventured to ask
about zelda. He had heard 1nciden-
tally that Tolman had been paying
some attentions to the young lady,
and did not seek a gratuitous heart
ache by exploring the intimacy.
Earle knew that the erudite Profess
sor Tresham, the father Of zelda,
was a great collector Of unique odd
tiles. He had sent the prayer mill to
zelda hoping she might write to him.
At least it would show that he had
not forgotten her.
The next day Earle was sorry that
he had sent the little gift. He hap
pened to meet Tolman. The latter
dropped into a jewelry store and pro-
duced an exquisite little ring.
IT wish you would engrave this for
me-" he said to the jeweler, and care
lessly scrubbed on a card: Ward to
zelda"
Earle CHANGED to glance at the in
scription ordered. He said nothing
about 1t, but his heart sank like lead.
| To him there was only one "Velda"
in the world, and he parted from Toll
man with the impression that what
he had just seer was an engagement
ring, and Miss zelda Tresham its
prospective recipient.
The conviction killed q good deal
OF the ambition Of the young writer.
He changed his room for a cheaper
one. Things did not go very well
with him. He did not seem able to
break In with any regular publisher.

never have done it. 1t was father who
advised me-"
Come, out with it," said Walter;
but he was smiling no longer. What
could it be? Something dreadful, no
doubt, and something by which he
was to prove the sincerity of his love
for her.
Then listen, Walter, and let me
finish before you say a word" said
Mollie, sitting up primly and stif1y be-
fore him. IT'S about your pictures.
During the last year you have been
getting better and better prices for
them from Enoch, haven't you?"
"Well, l should say 1 have. Two
years ago I was glad to sell a paint
ing for $25 and I used to turn out
one every week as regularly as clock
work. Now 1 can't do them quickly
enough to find purchasers at five hum
dred apiece. Why, last year | made
ten thousand dollars"
"Then listen, Walter" said Mollie
quickly. THAT is all a trick of mine
and fathers. When you asked me to
wait until you had made a name for
yourself father thought you foolish.
He had money enough for both of US,
he said, and nothing would have
pleased him better than that you
should continue painting all your life
and let the future take ARE Of itself.

Lucky Spot In the Quake Belt.

Compared with the neighboring

Corea is %singularly free from earth
quakes. The records contained in the

Cured in the year 81 B. c. These and
other records have recently been ex-
amined by DR.. Y. Wada, the director
Of the meteorological observatory OF
Chemulpo. The total number OF
earthquakes in the period mentioned
amounts to 1.617, of which SO were
notable shocks, many of them having
attained a strength sufficient to dam
age buildings, and several to result In
loss of life. DR.. Wada gives an inter
esting map Of what he calls the seis-
mic density Of the different parts OF
the country. North Of the parallel Of
81 degrees north the seismic density
decreases almost uniformly from west
to east. while south Of that parallel

Down and out" was the way that
Earle put it to himself. II he had
only received a word from zelda!
She was probably married by this
time, he reflected.
Tell you. Barton" his friend and
almoner said to him, you're too
good for this market. If you could
get into the magazine circle now
once a foothold, and you're a made
man."
But Earle shook his head mourn
fully. He said with a sad smile:
I'D starve before my first story
was paid for. No, I'll pound along on
the occasional special article line. I
can at least get a half living from
that"
And then suddenly, by a rare
chance, there awoke one day in the
experience of this lonely city waif
the most ~extravagant soul of hope.
Magically, poverty was gilded and
forlorn distress became a fading
wrath of the past.
A man, a lawyer, hunted him out
after a long quest, he said. Was he
Earle Barton? Yes. He lived at such
an address formerly? Yes, again.
Was he the purchaser, on such a date,
at such an auction shop, of a certain
prayer mill?
If so, what of TIT all opened up
the old wounds, and Earle was weak
and irritable from his long spell Of
illness. Was the prayer mill marked
"Zuelphi?" 1t was. Gould he produce
it?
The long and short of it was, that
the owner of the prayer mill was
a member of one of the richest,
noblest families in Thibet. His rela-
tives had too late learned of his fatal,
stranded situation. Now they had or
dered his remains returned to his
native soil-at any expense. The mill
must be found-if 1t took a fortune.

would lose caste, and, accord
ing to their superstitious ideas, would
lose paradise.
Ten thousand dollars was offered
for the return of the prayer mill. It
was at a distance. Then go for it
and expenses advanced. This was
the gist of the strangers proposal.
The first thing Earle learned when
he reached his native town, was that
zelda was not married. The next
was that Ward Tolman had welded a
lady in the next town named zelda
Morse. Then Earle Barton realized
his error.
In an hour he was at the Tresham
home. Through an open window he
saw zelda. She was looking at a
photograph. Her face grew pale and
she trembled as she admitted him to
the house. He told her of his mis-
sion.

she said, but in arising her unsteady
hand brushed the photograph to the

fortune.

Heart to Heart
Talks
SAFETY FIRST!
BY CHARLES NJ. LURE,


Whenever the big men of the rail-
roads gather nowadays-the men of
the keen, clear cut faces and the
searching eyes-and talk of the opera
ton of the roads one is very apt to
hear:
Safety first. Speed afterward"
The day of the eighteen hour train
between New York and Chicago has
passed away, perhaps forever. Too
many trains derailed by rails unable
to stand the terrible pressure OF steel
trains passing over them at unsafe
speed-too many smashed cars in the
ditch
Nowadays men talk of signals and
block systems and improved methods
of building cars and locomotives rath-
er than of sending trains at terrific
haste around curves and on the long
level stretches of track.
The death rate Is still too high, but
men versed in such matters believe 1t
will go down. The margin of security
is widening with the precautions be-
ing taken to insure safety on the rail.
Signs are not wanting that along the
road of life the same thing is happen
ing. Not many men speak as did the
young millionaire the other day when
he said:
"When I want to get anywhere I
want to get there in hurry. If the
express trains are not fast enough |
order specials. | want my automobile
to be the fastest one that the builder
can supply. That's the way to live
speed up and get there"'
While you skim along the road and
make the other fellow take your dust
speed is delectable. And it is pleasant
to get there" to be the first on the
scene.
But suppose you never get there?
Suppose your train of life is derailed
and wrecked and you are thrown, dy-
ing or dead. into ditch? Suppose the
wheel of your hundred horsepower car
skids and you are thrown out against
telegraph pole, to have your name
added to the list of victims of speed?
Slow up bit in the ride of life The
goal Is not so distant that you must
burn up the road to get there.
See the scenery of life as You pass
through it. If you keep your nose on
the steering wheel you miss the pleas
ant hills that lie between you and the
horizon. You cannot live your life as
you should if you are too much intent
on getting through with 1t as fast as
possible.
Pause to admire the flowers Of life
that bloom along the way.
Whatever your business in life may
be. it surely does not lie within your
duties to ignore everything save get
ting finished with it.
