A KISS IN THE DARK
By EVERETT P. CLARKE

When consciousness came to me l found myself in a strange room sur-
 rounded by a number of persons, all of
 whom were looking at me with symDo- thy on their faces. l could not ra-
 member how l came to be there in that condition or why l felt as ] uiL. The truth was that in crossing a street l had been knocked down through the carelessness of a chauffeur and se- verely injured. A man whom 1 took
 to be a doctor was patching me um and as soon as I returned to consciousness
 he ordered every one out 0C the room and, after telling me that l had been run over, said that l had lgeu carried into a house near the scene of the &C., cIdcnt and could not ue at once ra- moved.
 One of my eyes had been injured. and a strip of linen was laid over holA of them. Then I suppose ! was left to myself for awhile, for heard no sound
 in the room, though at intervals per sons came and went After having
 been alone, so far as ] knew. during
 one of these intervals l heard what sounded to me to be a faint rust}.ug of
 a womau's skirts. Then there was
 vague consciousness that some one
 was standing near me looking at ma. One thing 1 felt sure ot-a warm
 breath against my cheek.
 Suddenly l felt a pair O. lips pressed against mine. It was only for a mo.
 ment, after which by the sound of skirts I knew some one was scauUer- ing away. l had evidently been kissed by a woman.
 Now, ] was at an age when kiss like that would naturally stir the lm- aginaton. Was the kisser youugt ] judged so by the feeling of her liHs
 which were soft and warm. l .ongcl l to get well that might find her o1a l remained where l was but a few days, when I was taken to my owm home. was not permitted lo remove my eye covering before leaving the l house, so l was ignorant of the mem 1 bers of the family. As soon as l was
 well enough to be out again went to thank them for the care they had | taken of me. I was received by the lady Of the house, and l asked that ] knight thank every one who was in the
 house during my stay there. The l0dE told me that the members of her lam fly were one son and a little daughter eight years old. knew that the per-
 son who had kissed me was neither o. | these for the swish of skirts ! heard was nos that of a child. ] asked if ! there had been any one hes.dus the l family in the house during my so.uuva ! there, to which she replied that no one
 had been staying there. The accident l had caused considerable excitement im | the neighbcrhood, and a number 0. l persons had come in tO make inquiries This was as far as l could go in my investigation, at least at the time auL | l felt discouraged. There was a strong | probability of my remaining in igno- france of what l was extremely anxious to know. l resolved to cultivate the acquaintance of the AIurrays, who had ! housed me, with a view to a possible
 meeting with the kisser.

Merchants should publish a com rarisou Of their prices with those of the ratai catalogue hOuses-fght them with their own weapons. While visit ing d country town recently the writer made some investigations and discoV- cries. For example, a Chicago mall order house was selling 100 pound gfuEstones mounted for S3,lO. The local merchant sold the same article for S3-J: freight from Chicago, 55 cents, making the mail order article cost S3GI. seam roofing, S2.S5 in Chi clgo and S2.9O from the local mer- yaaut freight I5 cents per square to be added to the S2.S5, making it S3 de- ,.vereI: washing machines, S3.S5 aaaiust S3.75, freight 9 cents to be added to the S3S5. These are facts which every merchant can provo and keep right on proving all the time.
 Cash at Home Too.
 Local merchants will quote prices on goods so low that CataiOuge and mail order houses cannot duplicate them. But you must pay cash. Mail order houses demand the cash in advance. Why not pay the local merchant in ad- vance? Besides, when you by rom catalogue you send your money away from y0ur home town. You buy from a picture and wait a week or ra-r fgvs for the goods to arrive: then you open up your prize box" to see what you really have drawn in the lottery and what you have to show for your money. If you have drawn one of their "baits" you tell your rafchbors and friends about it--in fact, vou will tell every one about it. If you find. as is usually the case, that you were "stung" you say nothing about it: your lips are sealed aa tight as death
