WOULD HAVE THEM HANDY
Married Mans Explanation Of Large
Order Will Be Understood by
Many Similar Unfortunates

! A brisk individual with the accumu
lated look of 20 winters of married life
entered hardware shop and without
waiting for preliminaries asked:
DO you keep hammers here?"
That is our specially, sir"
Put me down for Dozen How
/ about screwdrivers ?"
Our great feature Patent reversi-
BILE or plain edge?"
Give me a dozen of each; if you
have any other varieties I'll take 'em,
too. How about gimlets?"
You are now mentioning our pet
product. All styles"
Give me all styles-long, short, me-
dunn, thick. thin, from the size of
needle to a pickax. Saws?"
"Of every description"
I'll take 'em-say half a dozen or
so-cross-cut, plain, round and square"
It's down, sir. Can interest you in
nails?"
You can indeed. I'll take some of
all that you have, put up in separate
packages; also tacks, brads, screws,
rIVets, 6tapleS-everything. And |
want hooks, every hook you have, big
and little. Also"
The clerk leaned forward.
Pardon me, SIR" he said. "You
seem like a sensible person. Unless
you are opening up a business, am
at loss to understand your require
ments."
1T is perfectly simple, SIR" said the
brisk person. Il have been married
for Il years, and not once since the
ceremony have been able to locate a
single implement when wanted to
put up calendar or do any other nee
essary thing about the house, and the
next time there is need of anything
done / am going SO far as human fore
sight can provide for it, to have the
means instantly to put my impulse in
to play."-Life.

Petticoat Is Back.

Two causes have led to the reap

any means tempestuous. One~of these

the season. The other is the prevalence

gowns, which would be quite impossi-
BILE without a petticoat or underskirt
The latter word seems favored by
tailors, some of whom appear to imag.
ine that SAVIOR of indelicacy hovers
about the good old name "petticoat."
It means exactly the same as the
French "jupon,' little skirt. The new
petticoats are slit up at various points,
90 that they can be worn with skirts.
also slit, but not in the same way as
the petticoat.

mutual interest. And it's a particu-

CHAPTER ~.

The Governor of the State heard Of
the matter secretly from witnesses
who had heard the confession.
Secretly still. a reprieve was grant
ed to Henry Marshall, and for the
first time in two years he knew the
thrill of freedom.
He set out for Darlington with two
detectives.
At Darlington farm things had
gone on brightly. Jack had almost
convinced himself that he need not
fear Thomas-that the butler would
be afraid to reveal his own part In
the grim fraud. and would hold his
peace even without payment Alice
was happy.
AS she waved him adieu from the
front steps of the cottage one morn
ing when he was setting out for a
stroll. she did not see another man
who stepped from behind the shelter
of a hedge and followed Jack.
She did not know that two detec-
tlves we're watching the movements
of her husband from the cliff over
locking the farm.
Jack took the winding path up the
cliff. as was his custom. He seemed
TO need hard exercise, hard work,
hard climbing TO keep his mind from
memories For in the simple coun-
try life there was time for memory
and fear
Jack"
The voice that called him from be-
low made him trembe like a man
who had seen a ghost. II was like an
echo from the tomb; il was the voice
of his foster brother whom he had
sent to prison.
He turned and flung himself al the
man he had wronged He grappled
with him, gripped at his throat; but
Henry thrust him back
spasm of terror seized him. He
started up the cliff. But two men
were watching over the ledge He
turned again, and charged like a
trapped beast at his brother
Henry stepped aside, but caught at
the mans arm in sudden pity for his
madness.
The grip did not hold. Jack Mar
shall reeled headlong over the ledge.
But even for the death Of such a
man there was a woman to weep.
