Pets and Broken Hearts.

The dog of Mistral. the Provencal
poet, died the day after M'r'rars re.
cent death. Il Is a fairly common
thing for dogs. cats, canaries and 9th.
er pets to die few days or even hours
after their masters. But do they die
OF grief? 1t Is not likely.
Manayunk physician examined
the corpse OF canary that had sue.
cumbed with its little mistress. The
canarys death, the examination
showed, was due not to a broken heart,
but to scarlet fever. the malady to
which its little mistress had herself
succumbed.
From this and from kindred post
mortems 1t Is surmised that pets. when
they die simultaneously with their
owners. have become infected with
the disease that carried their owners
off-measles, diphtheria, typhoid The
deathfrom-grief story Is pretty. but,
alas, it won't wash.

NEEDLESS WASTING OF TIME
Man Who Heediessiy Interrupts Busy
Worker May Properly Be
Termed q Thief.

There are In this great world OF
peculiar contradictions many men who
would never flch another mans prop

against stealing his time.
To the busy worker time is a valu-
able commodity. minutes are reck-
oned In terms OF dollars and cents.
Needless interruption OF their work
therefore steals from them dollars and
cents.
Who steals another mans time, by

EYE STRAIN
Relieved BY Quitting Coffee.

Many cases OF defective vision are
caused by the habitual use OF coffee.
1t is said that In Arabia where cot.
fee is used in large quantities, many
lose their eyesight at about fifty. Tea
contains the same drug, caffeine, as
coffee
a N. j. woman writes to the point
concerning eye troub!a and coffee.
She says:
My son was for years troubled with
his eyes. He tried several kinds OF
glasses without relief. The optician
said there was defect In his eyes
which was hard TO reach.
He used to drink coffee, MS we all
did. and finally quit It and began to
use Postum. That was three years
ago and he has not had to wear
glasses and has had no trouble with
his eyes since.

Success With Calyes.

The secret OF successful calf raising
lies In keeping the calls digestive or
gans In perfect shape. To do this
avoid sudden changes. either In feed
ing or management. Feed warm milk
from clean pals. but do not feed too
much. Clean. sunny quarters, with
exercise and clean and wholesome
food fed In proper amounts Mt the
proper time will lessen the nunfSer

But she looked wistfully after him
the morning after his arrival. as ne
walked over to the Dayton house. She
had seen Nancy Dayton grow into a
sullen, discontented girl Of twenty
nine. Nancy had never married. She
had refused several good chances. be-
cause she wanted to begin life where
her parents had left of-with com
Portable income.
When Walter reached the door he
was ast0nished nj the vision that he
saw before him. IL looked like Nancy,
but 1t was an ideaTlzed Nancy the
Nancy OF whom he had dreamed dur
ing those lonely years In Nevada.
"Why!-this isn't Nancy" he
gasped, staring at the beautiful young
girl who stood smiling at him.

girl. blushlng at his frank stare of
admiration. Nancy Is out this eve

The news OF Walters arrival had al.
ready spread through the village and
reached the Dayton home. II was
well for him that he had not heard the
scathlng remarks that Nancy had
made about him.
When he took his leave an hour
later. the young man realized that,
whatever his love for Nancy might
have been. the image that he carried
In his heart had now striking re.
semblance to Elizabeth.
And he was bound in honor to ask
Nancy to be his wife. That was the
irony Of II! When he called tho next

the peevish lines about her mouth?

age TO say what was uppermost In his
mind.
Nancy. do you remember what I
told you last time we parted?" he
asked.
Nancy's heart beat quickly, but II
was not with love. She had not had
proposal for six months. and she
was longing for another scalp TO hang
at her girdle.
"No. Mr.. Jameson. What was IT,
she inquired archly.
That was coming back TO marry
you" he answered.
Nancys shrill laugh pierced the air.
We'll. you certainly have carried out
the first part OF your determination.
about coming back" she answered.
But as for the second-why. / think
you have another guess coming. Mr.
Jameson"
Walters face turned crimson. After
all. Il is not exactly pleasant to have
ones offer OF marriage laughed to
scorn. even though one has made IL
out OF a sense OF duty.
He looked into Nancy's mocking
face and ssij good-by. But that was
on the contrary. he called frequently
after that-only II was to see Miss
Elizabeth And sometimes words we're
said which brought the color into her
fair face and look OF unutterable
happiness into her eyes.

ed Elizabeth In her sisterly manner.
well. Elizabeth. IL you want my
cast-off beau. OF course It's all right"
she said only hell always DO a
pauper. and II were you would
send him right about face without de-
lay"
That Walter had asked Nancy to
marry ann since his return Elizabeth
did not know. The words stung her.
Walter was not slow to notice the
change In her rasnner tho next time
he called.
Elizabeth. what have done to Of
fend you?" he pleaded
you haven't offended me, Mr. jane
son." replied the girl. "Only-people
are saying"
What. dear?" asked Walter taking
her hand III his.
"That-that you are making love
to me because you can't get Nancy"
she faltered, and tried to run away.
But Walter caught her.
Now you listen to me-" no said.
ITS true | did ask Nancy to marry
me when I came back. But II wasn't
because I loved her, Elizabeth. AS
soon as l saw yea | knew that I had
loved you all the time. 1t was be-
cause--I felt honor bound, my dear
And when she refused me my heart
Just leaped up to think 1t was going
to be you"
How do you know It's going to be
me7" asked Elizabeth.
For answer he took her in his arms
and pressed his lips to hers.
Isn't it?" he demanded eagerly.
And Elizabeth said "yes." And then
he told her the momentous secret
which was shortly TO set all the town
gaping.
For II was really true. And when
he bought his mother the finest house
In the place. and 1t became known that
he had made his fortune in the Jane
son gold mine. all Hlcksville rushed
to invite him TO It's homes. But Wal.
ter and Elizabeth were too busy with
their preparations for the coming
wedding TO think much about eocial
life just then.
AS for Nancy-there were four new
lines about her mouth forever after,
two on each side; and It's downward
droop was decidedly accumulated.
