CHAPTER xl.
Mental Treatment.

Little Samuel Darby paused at the
foot Of the bed and stared at Abe with.
out saying a word, while Abe fixed his
dim, distressed eyes on his visitor with
q dumb appeal for assistance. Samuel
looked a very different man from the
old bachelor who used to come a.woo-
ing every six months at the Home.
Either marriage had brought him a
new growth Of hair. or else Blossy had
selected a new wig for him-a modest,
close, iron-gray which fitted his poll to
perfection. Marriage OF Blossy had
also overcome in Samuel that tend
ency to hang his head ito starb'd;"
and now he lifted his bright eyes with
the tanner of one who would say:
See! I'm king of myself and my
household! Behold what one woman
has done for mel" And In turn Abe's
unstrung vigor and feeble dependence
cried out as loudly: Il haven't a leg
left to stand on. Behold what too
much woman has done for mel"
Amt yew a-goin' ter shake hands ?"
inquired Abraham at last, wondering
at the long silence and the incompre-
hensible stare, his fears accentuated
by this seeming indication Of q su-
preme and hopeless pit. Amt yew

afeard of ketchin' It, tew?"
For q moment longer Samuel con.

roared. cit up!"

"Yew got the pip!" retorted Captain
Darby CONTEMPORARY, and trottins
quickly around to the side of the bed,
he seized Abe by tho shoulders and
began to drag him out upon the floor,
crying again, cit upi"
The sick man could account for this
remarkable behavior In no way except
by concluding that his old captain had

upon Samuel threw aim back upon his
pillows in disgust.
"Cryin'! Oh, I swan, he's cryfn'!"
Darby gave a short laugh pregnant
with scorn. ABE Rose, dew yew know

his eyes f~ercely upon the invalid.

He fell back on the pillow and drew
the bedclothes up to his ears, while
Angy followed the doctor out into the
hall to receive, as Abe supposed. a
more detailed description of his
malady. He felt too weak, however, to
question Angy when she returned, and
stubbornly kept his eyes closed until
he heard Mrs. Holman tiptoe into the
room to announce in hushed tones that
Blossy and Samuel Darby were below,
and Samuel wanted to know If he
might see the invalid.
Then Abe threw off the covers in a
hurry and sat up. "Saml Darby?" he
asked, the strength coming back into
his voice. "A man! Nary a woman

up!"
Angy nodded in response to Mrs.
Romans glance of inquiry; for had

she also consented to withdraw when

JEALOUSY
AND LOVE
By
ELLEN ADAIR
Are the TtOO MSeparubLe?

FTNHE prevalent idea appears to be that
i there can be no love without a pretty
large sdmixture of jealousy, and that,
conversely almost every case of jealousy
springs from some misguided love affair
Whether this idea is the right one or not
Is decidedly open to question. Ideal love
AFFAIRS preclude jealousy altogether, and
where absolute trust and confidence exist,
there is no room at all for the green
eyed monster 1t is only when the course
of true love ceases to run smoothly, or
where the passion is an unlawful one,
that jealousy creeps in. like a canker
at the root.
A recent newspaper case Illustrates this
point, when a woman of assured social
status and the mother of three children
was arraigned on charge of being the
instlgator of a plot to abduct another
woman with whose husband she is said
to have been infatuated The Jealous
lady had inserted an advertisement in
the paper calling for some one to under.

Immediately placed the Jealous woman
under arrest.
One curious attribute OF the Jealous
woman who plans to sweep her rivals
out of the way is that she generally
shows a marked lack of brains in her
methods. Jealousy is popularity supposed
to arouse a diabolcally clever ingenuity
in the breast of the jealous fair one
but, as a matter of fact, It seldom does
anything of the sort. In my opinion,
jealousy makes women do the most stupid
things in the world! Not only does It
blunt all their finer feelings, but at the
same time IL causes a curious confusion
OF mind, which fails to take the proper
grasp of consequences and which Is

TNOR several days afte rthe Reddy
J. Squirrels moved into their new home
in the house on the pole, they were too
busy to more than glance around OF
course they had tidied up the little place
the first day. but there was much to be
done after that. The house must have
covering of soft down laid on the floor;
the door, which was a trhe too small,
must be gnawed a bit wider--oh there

mind working, not they! They were
naturally industrious; and then, who

down that smooth pole! Nobody but a
clever squirrel like Reddy could do that
trick as well. And then the view of the

this house always are made that way"
But although he looked very wise when
he said it,Mrs. Reddy was not one bit i'm

a shadow crossed the doorway. Both
squirrels whirled around to see who was
there. "Oh, how do you do" said Reddy
when he asw that their visitor was their
