Some Refreshment.

Rear Admiral Fletcher during the
maneuvers off Newport told story at
garden party.
"The navy is as abstemious from
ethical reasons" he began, "as old
Stingee was from miserliness."
"Old Stingee was entertaining boy
hood friend one evening at his shore
cottage. After a couple Of hours Of
dry talk, the old fellow said genially:
Would you like some refreshment

Why, yes; don't care if do,"

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Bridge Of Jehennam.

ne 6FiuQe OF JCnSNndH1s
Griswold took final look at himself
in his dressing case mirror before 60
ing to keep his evening appointment
at the doctors downtown Office. 1t
was comfortably reassuring. So far as
he could determine, there was little
in the clean-shaven, square-shouldered,
correctly garmented young fellow who
faced him in the mirror to suggest
either the bearded outcast of New Or
leans or the unkempt and toil-sodden
roustabout of the Belle Julie. If
only she had not made him speak to
her. He had sharp conviction that
the greatest Of all the hazards lay
in the chance that she might remem-
Der his voice.
He found the CHEEKY little doctor
waiting for him when he had walked
the few squares to the Main street
Office.
II was beginning to be afraid you
were going to be fashionably late, !"
said the potential host; and then, with

Grierson told you that Wahaska is still
hopelessly unable to live up to the
dress coat and standing collar? I'm
sure she must have. But never mind !;
climb into the buggy and we'll let old
Bucephalus take US around to see If
the neighbors have brought in any
thing good to eat"
The drive was a short one. Brofin
was once more shadowing the house
in which, first or last, he expected to
trap his amateur MacHeath; and when
the buggy was halted at the carriage
step he was near enough to mark and
recognize the doctors companion.

when the two haa passed together UP
the graYeled path and the host was

tion paper-which is true enough-but
giving me to understand that a re-
newal and an extension Of time would
be merely a matter of routine"
Griswold was shaking his head SYM
pathetically. Il can guess the rest"
he said. "Grierson is preparing to
swallow you whole"
"He has as good as done it," was the
detected reply. "The note falls due
tomorrow; and, as happened to be
uptown this afternoon, thought l
would drop in and pay the discount
and renew the paper. Grierson shot
me through the heart. He gave me a
cock-and-bull story about some bank
examiners protest, and told me
must be prepared to take up the paper
tomorrow"
"Of course you reminded him of
his agreement"
Sure; and he sawed me off short;
said that any business man borrow
ing money on accommodation paper
knew that it was likely to be called in
on the expiration date; that an exten-
sion is really a new transaction, which
the bank is at liberty to refuse to
enter. Oh, he gave it to me cold and
clamIny, sitting back in his big chair
and staring up at me through the
smoke of fat, black cigar while he
did it,"
"And then?" prompted Griswold.
Then remembered the mother and
sister, Kenneth, and did what l would
have died rather than do for myself
begged like dog. But might as
we'll have gone outside and butted
my head against the brick wall of the
bank"
Griswold forgot his own real
though possibly indirect, obligation
to Jasper Grierson.
THAT is where you made a mis-
take; you should have told him to go
to HI with his money!" was his
acrid comment And then: "HoW
near can you come to lifting this note
tomorrow, Raymer?"
Near isn't the word. Possibly
might sweep the corners and gather
up twelve or fifteen thousand dol
lars"
THAT will do" said the querist
shortly. Make it ten thousand, and
I'll contribute the remaining ninety
Raymer sprang out of his chair as
if its padded arms had been suddenly
turned into high-voltage electrodes.
"You will?-youIl do that for me
Griswold?" he said, with a queer stri
dency in his voice that made the
word-craftsman, always on the watch
for apt SMILES, think of a choked
chicken. But Raymer was swallow
ing hard and trying to go on. "By
Jove-it's the most generous thing
| ever heard of!-but can't let you
do it. Haven't q thing in the world
to offer you but the stock, and thai
may not be worth the paper it ii
printed on II Jasper Grierson has
made up his mind to break me-"
"Sit down again and let us thresf
it out" said Griswold. How much
of socialist are you, Raymer?"
The young ironmaster sat down
gasping little at the sudden wrench
ing aside of the subject.
"Why, l don't know; enough t.
want every man to have q square deal
l guess"
Including the men in your shops?'
Putting them first" was the promp
correction. 1T was my fathers pol
icy, and it has been mine. We hav'
never had any labor troubles"

LubricatiOn System Fails.

The good old human machine that served Billy Layton 50 well until he was 37 is now rusty and worn and will not operate. The mechanism kept in the best condition and always in operation, demanded great quanti- ties of lubricant. Then. when Billy slowed down" the bearings "gummcd up,' became rusty, and then began to squeak ak"-and every squeak" sent awful pain shooting to Billy's brain the brain, that marvellous central sta ton which, in BillA's case, has not been affected by the bankruptcy of the plant it directs-and finally. they positively refused to work, leaving Billy Layton where 4e is today-in q roller chair.
 However, there's hope that Nature. aided by therapeutics, vii lagain re- store Billy's fabrication system.
