Seems to me that 5000 per year is
worth saving. In the twenty years

now, Mrs. Bowser?"
"JuSt where l was before You'll

"Will it? If that's your opinion l
have great surprise in store for you.
I've been taking lessons from a barber
on how to handle a razor, and | can
shave clean in exactly four minutes.

pretty blaming you for what l did.

a little shave. and If you don't say it's

given me III put the razor up for

After dinner Mr.. Bowser took a
bowl Of hot water and started up
stairs. saying to Mrs. Bowser as he
went:
Better time me by the clock. may
be six or seven minutes this time, but
I'll be right on tick tomorrow night"
He went into the bedroom and lock

coat, vest, necktie and collar. He look

and then decided to take them off
also.

the box and stood before the glass
1.-THE first thing is to lather, of course.
That's as easy as rolling off a log. This
is something like comfort, this is
Hanged if l don't believe l shall want
to shave twice a day after this!'
Mr.. Bowser decided to put on plenty
Of lather. He put it on his chin, cheeks
hose, forehead, ears and throat, and
more or less fell on the carpet. When
he had lathered until both arms ache6
and no more would stick to him, he
picked up the razor and chuckled.

way, and lay it on my cheek, this way
and move 1t gently down. A child
three years old could do that. I'll show
Mrs. Bowser a trick or two before I'm

she knows it all. Razor just Slides
Mr.. Bowser gave jump, and at the
same instant he saw the lather staine<

Mrs. Bowser, as her liege lord made a

came home the other evening.

down and carefully handled the pack

HATS AND BALD HEADS.

Following q temporary eclipse
through the overshadowing influence
Of matters more important DR.. Harry
w. Wiley energies from a measure of
enforced obscurity long enough to use
a few hot weather "dont's" and expat-
tate on the cause of bald heads.
While the latter is not included in
the former, il properly belongs to the
glad season when the categorical inn
perative may be depended upon to in
fiict the soul with an earnest desire to
do the right thing tomorrow. or the day
after at the very latest
Bald heads are caused by wearing
hats. Hence. were there no hats. there
would be no bald heads. For the same
reason, doubtless, if there were no
shoes, there would be no eorns. Re-
garding this point however. the doctor
is silent
Coming from the august source al

head by ungcdly youth as wearing
any kind of hat. That those same
pictures gave evidence of an abandon
of artistic license must also be admit
ted BY the process of reasoning earl
Ter employed, Elijah was lacking in
hirsute appendage; consequently he
must have been addicted TO headgear
possibly derby, although that is going
as much too far in the other direction.
In all likelihood the general public
will cherish the bald head hat theory
with all the fervor hitherto lavished on
the hot weather "dont's." There is one
drawback, nevertheless. Ia times past
it has been the custom 10 paste the
doctors "dont's' ia the hat. His added
warning thus brings about di-
lemma worth considering. Perhaps
the matter can be adjusted by again

And as she leaned to the work OF
cooking, her lovely face. red with the
heat OF the fire. that very dreamer
was watching her, from a neighbor
ing thicket, with almost as much al.
miration IS he felt for himself. And
why notf He felt that what she was.
what she was going to be- was all the
work Of his own mind.
He arose from his hiding place and
stepped cautiously toward her. II
was HIS intention to hynotize her and
get her away from that place quickly
and quietly so that Tommy should not
have an opportunity to make further
trouble. 1t needed no more now than
a glimpse of that sphere OF rock crys-
tai which Professor sulliter carried al
ways with him to reduce Celestia to
that condition of mind in which she
spoke and acted upon impulse, that
did not rise within herself. But
though he flashed the crystal suddenly
in her face and exclaimed in q tone
of sharp command: "Sleep, Celestia,"
either she was too startled and bewil-
dered to see the crystal at all OF for
once something was lacking in the
process, for she sprang TO her feet
with cry of fear and ran from him,
calling upon Tommy by name at the
top of her lungs.
So she ran after Tommy, and Still
tier ran after her. and the two guides
and old man Smellsgood came out OF
hiding and followed after him. And
in this order they came to the shore
of the island, toward which Tommy,
alarmed by Celestia's cries, was strug-
Cling in a welter OF foam.
But when he actually saw Celestia,
Tommy's enthusiasm for being OF
service to her seemed suddenly to
cool. He let his feet drop to the bot
tom and stood with Just HIS head out
OF water. So standing, he saw Still
ter seize Celestia by the wrist and at
tempt to force her back toward the
camp. He saw her shake herself free
with an astonishing show of energy,
and 1t was as II her eyes no less than
her hand went out to him in an ap'
peal for help.
The veins stood out on Tommy's
forehead
"Don't let him take me away. Tom
myl" she cried.
"You leave her alone!" shouted
Tommy. "If you touch her I'll knock
your head of"
But Stilliter by now appreciated
Tommy's predicament and smiled
dryly.
Come and do It." he said.
"You know 1 can't come and do It
now, you dog" said Tommy. furious
ly, "but you just wait"
Cant" Stilliter. "In great hurry.
Come, Celestial You'll be better OF
with me. You can see for yourself
that the young man has no intention
OF risling himself against four Of u.s."
Celestia meanwhile drew herself up,
tall, proud and cold; she looked at
Tommy, just once more, and she
looked as IL she had never seen him
before. Then she turned to Stilliter
ri will go with you," she said.
Two plans had presented them
selves to Tommy. He could have told
Celestia to shut her eyes until he told
her TO open them; then he could have
come out OF the water and fought for
her; but he discarded that first plan
because he liked the second better.
In this he would come out Of the wa
ter when she had gone, slip into some
Of his clothes and follow her.
