LIGHT ON JOHNS BARGAIN
But UnsuspIcious Mrs Brown Could
Only See Humorous Mistake
Made by Store Clerk.

"I see you have one of those cake
pans that Bargun's ten cent store soio
last week at their special sale" said
Mrs. White, as she was visiting III
Mrs Browns kitchen one morning.
Yes. Isn't that good value for ten
cents?" replied Mrs. Brown, holding
the pan up proudly.
Indeed 1t u.s." said Mrs. White, tax
ing the pan in her hands. Il wanted
one, but the good ones were all gone
before could be waited on. How did
you manage it?''
"Oh. / sent john smiled Mrs
Brown. Il was busy and couldn't go
that morning, and you know Jonn
passes there each morning about eight
o'clock, when the store opens so l
asked him If he wouldn't stop and get
me a pan, and he said he would.
81 should think you would be afraid
to trust him to buy one. Some OF
them we're quite badly damaged. you
know" said Mrs. White.
"Oh. John is careful" Mrs. Brown
assured her "He always gets the best
of everything. The one he got me is
absolutely perfect as far as l can see.
well, isn't that wonderful! l didn't
see a perfect one in the store. But
didn't your husband object to carry
ing the pan home? Mine would, and
they never deliver anything sold at
the special sales"
"They delivered this" said Mrs.
Brown. John is well known and the
stores are anxious to accommodate
him. Then he has a way of getting
things DONE"
81 shall certainly send Robert to
Bargun's the next time they have
special sale" said Mrs. White. why,
this pan is just as good as the ones
they sell for a quarter at Jones hard
ware store, next door to Bargun's."
Eyes, it is exactly the same" said
Mrs. Brown, triumphantly. Il thought
it was, but wanted to make sure; so
l went into the hardware store the
other day and asked to see their pans
They showed me one fer quarter
that is exactly like mine. / told the
man had got pan just like it for ten
cents, and then he made the funniest
mistake-he said he had sold John one
only a few days ago. Wasn't that

1T certainly was" said Mrs. White.

secretly discovers the whereabouts of the

from whom he is estranged, but the muir

clear her husbands memory and asks the
judges aid. Alone in her room Deborah
Scoyille reads the newspaper clippings
telling the story of the murder OF Alger-

Hollow, twelve years before. The judge
and Mrs. Scoville meet at Spencer's Folly
and she shows him how. on the day OF

left the future hopelessly blank
Must you go?" Deborah had risen
mechanically. Don't, | beg, till you

Ostrander l don't suppose that there

Then, Deborah understood Miss

Miss Week sighed. Yes, he has

CHAPTER x.
Anonymous Letters.


Deborah re-entered the indge's house
a stricken Woman. She reached her
room door and was about to enter.
when at a sudden thought she paused
and let her eyes wander down the haiH'
till they settled on another door. the
one she had closed behind her the
night before, with the deep resolve
never to cnsn 1t again except under
compulsion. A few minutes later she
was standing in one of the dim corners
OF divers musty room, reopening
book which she had taken down from
the shelves on her former visit, She
remembered it from its torn back and
the fact that it was an algebra. Turn
ing to the fly leaf. she looked again at
the names and schcoiooy phrases she
had seen scrubbed all over its surface,
for the one which she remembered as,
Il hate algebra"
1t had not been a very clearly writ
ten algebra" and she would never
have given this Interpretation to the
scrawl, had she been in a better mood,
Now another thought had come to her.
and she wanted to see the word again.
Was she glad or sorry to have yielded
to this impulse when by a closer In
spection she perceived that the word
was not algebra" at all, but "Algernon,
hate A Etheridge.-I hate A. Ell
hate Algernon E." all over the page.
and here and there on other pages
sometimes in characters so rubbed and
faint as to be almost unreliable and
again so pressed into the paper by 2
vicious pencil point as to have broken
their way through to the leaf under
meath.
The work of an ill-conditioned
schoolboy! but--this hate dated back
many years Paler than ever, and
with hands trembling almost to the
point of incapacity, she put the book
back and flew to her own room. the
prey of thoughts bitter almost to mad
ness.
1t was the second time in her life
that she had been called upon to go
through this precise torture Then.
only her own happiness and honor
were involved; now it was Reuther's;
and the fortitude which sustained her
through the ignominy of her own trou-
BILE failed her at the prospect of Reu-
| theirs And again, the two cases were
not equal Her husband had had traits
which. in manner, had prepared her
| for the ready suspicion of people. But
Oliver was man of reputation and
kindly heart; and yet, in the course OF
time this had come, and the question
once agitating her as to whether
Reuther was fit mate for him and
nov evolved itself into this: Was he
fit mate for her?

Success of typhoid incubation.

Sir Frederick Treves, presiding at
the Society of Arts on the occasion of
Doctor Sandw1th's Chadwick lecture
on WAR and Disease" was able to
bear witness to the remarkable sani-
tary conditions under which the pres
ent war is being waged. Particu-
larly did he indorse the value of inoc-
ulation for typhoid, by which means
that great danger to armies in the
field has been practically eliminated.
Sir Frederick was, in fact, able to state
that not a single inoculated man had
died of typhoid in the British expedi-
tionary force, and that there had only
been PIP cases of typhoid, with %
deaths When we remember the ex-
tent to which typhoid prevailed in our
armies during the Boer war, when the
conditions were probably infinitely
less provocative OF that disease than
those which must necessarily prevail
In prolonged trench fighting, 1t will be
recognized that Sir Frederick's claim
that the existing sanitary arrange
ments are unprecedented is justified

THE CIRCUS
Delights Two Large Audien.
CeS In This City
Was One Of The Best Shows
Ever Seen Here

Despite the rain Friday afternoon
and evening the big tent of the Carl
Observation-Disclosures circus was com.
fortably filled at both performances.
No one was disappointed for the show
was bigger and better than ever.
Since exhibiting here last season
many new features and acts have
been added making the circus equal
to any organization of the kind in the
country.
The performing animals are fea-
ture of the show, baby elephants,
wolves, hyenas, bears, lions and sea
lions all appearing in separate acts
that thrill the audience. Splendid
horses are carried by the circus and
some of the riding acts were the best
ever seen in Mt. Vernon.
There was an army of clowns to de-
light both the old and young.
There were many features. The
man sliding down the wire on his
head, high trapeze act, Australian
whip crackers, looping the loop on re-
volving trapeze and many others too
numerous to mention.
All the employees of the show were
exceedingly courteous and there was
not the rough element usually seen
with the big circus of this kind.
