How Mot to SneeZe.

Everyone who attends church or
goes to the theater or other place
where people are assembled knows
how embarrassing it is to have to
sneeze with the usual unpleasant
sounds that accompany such an
outburst of our real nature, an ex-
change says. Such may very easily
be avoided by thinking quickly and
following a simple little rule which
will save us much annoyance.
When the feeling comes over us
which always precedes a sneeze, all
we have to do is to lay our finger
across the upper lip directly beneath
the nose and press firmly upon the lip
for a few seconds.
The sneeze will leave without max
ing itself heard.
The same result can be obtained by
laying the finger across the lower lip
just above the chin and pressing rath-
er firmly for few moments.
Either of these acts will not attract
attention and in almost every instance
the person will be saved the annoy
ance of disturbing the entire audi
ence.

Now she was more hopelessly
wretched than ever. She thrilled with

snare set for her feet. Were all wom-

mind. Even the dark, deep river
seemed to invite her Gradually the
! distraction grew less intense. She re-
membered a married school friend.
| Surely she, her closest companion for
four years, would offer her refuge
Lura resolved to return home, destroy
the note left for her husband, write
to her friend asking her to take her
in, await a reply and then leave the
house forever.
She was faint and trembling from
excitement and despair as she neared
the house. She entered, stood dazed
as she saw her husband coming from
upstairs. He was never home at that
time of the day. He must have found
the note, and yet with beaming face
he came towards her.
You dear little wanderer," he cried.
Wherever have you been. when l
have a great surprise for you?"
"a surprise?" she repeated, scarcely
knowing what she said.
Yes, come" and he entwined his
arm about her and drew her past the
drawing room draperies.
"Lura, my nearest and dearest OF
kin, Myra Blodgett." spoke Sydney
and Lura faced the young lady that
Burton had pointed out to her. She
extended hand, but her senses were
Keeling. What did it all mean?

first secret / ever kept from you,
dear" proceeded Sydney. she is

mered Lura and almost unceremon-
iously left husband and guest. Her
nerves were at fever heat. The note!
Sydney must have found it. Yes, 1t
was gone!
Lura sank to chair, gasping for
breath. What would Sydney think?
How could she explain it all? Then
suddenly great cry of Joy left her
lips.
The note! The breeze coming
through the open window had blown
it where she saw it-under the bu-
reau.
And Sydney Davenal marveled at
the strange clinging devotion of his
wife all that day, and the sweet, hap
by smile of supreme content that new
er after left her face.

TheFalse
Friend
BY ALVAH GARTH

"Oh! why did you bring me here
why did you ever tell me?
Mrs. Lura Davenal, two years a
bride, moaned and wept and drew
back from the window whittier sus-
pense and suspicion and the subtle
plotting of woman she should never
have trusted, led her.
She deemed Minna Burton friend.
She should never have placed faith
in this false counselor. She knew she
had been one of a group of admirers
of her husband before his marriage,
who had been particular never to go
out with her, for her reputation was
not clean one, but he had been cour-
teous to her. Minna had not seen
much of him until the last month.
Then lady friend Of hers had init
mated to Laura that Minna had told
her secretly that she felt sorry for her
because her husband was deceiving
her.
The lady friend had brought about
a meeting between the two. Lura
had demanded to know the occasion of
Minna's insinuation. The latter, crafty,
Jealous schemer that she was, had
hemmed and hawed and feigned en-
barrassment. Then, when firmly
pressed by Lura, she had spoken of

and then had declared that her hus-
band was false to her.
HE goes to see a certain lady every
day." said Minna. Dear Mrs. Davenal,
spare yourself grief Men are all
alike. 1t can do no good to unmask
him. Let the episode pass.
"Never!" Lura was aroused and
then Minna had said: Every we'll,
will take you tomorrow where you
shall see for yourself" and she had
kept her word, for looking across
court between two hotel buildings in
a room Lura saw her husband and
woman she did not know. The latter
smiled at Sydney Davenal. She play
fully stroked his face, she even kissed
him.
Lura was heartbroken. Viewing her
with a crafty eye. Minna began to
give advice. Why not abandon this
false husband? At least, teach him
a lesson, disappear, If only temporar-
fly. From distance bring him to his
feet in humiliation and contrition!
And to all this poor distressed Lura
listened, never dreaming that a wom-
an at heart a wicked plotter was bent
on separating her from a man she had
once loved
Yes, yes" she sobbed, take me
somewhere away from this heart
break and sorrow!"
81 have cousin, Mrs Lavery,
widow, living about hundred miles
from here, who will be glad to give
you a temporary home" suggested
the specious Minna, and Lura, half
mad with her grief and suspicious,
agreed to be at a place Minna named
later that afternoon, prepared for the
Journey. She was to bring her grip
and Minna was to convey her to the
train and start her on her way to Sc
clusion and safety, as she put it.
Lura returned home in tears and
made her preparations for departure,
sobbing heartbrokenly. She wrote
brief note to her husband. telling him
that she had discovered his perfdy
and that she would never return to
him. She placed this on stand in
their room, where he would be sure
to see it. Then she left the house.
Lura was unfamiliar with the ad-
dress Minna had given her. She had
told her it was a quiet restaurant and
to go to its side door and wait in a
secluded rear room. Lura in her ur-
gency and confusion of mind arrived
a half hour ahead of the appointed
time.
She shivered and glanced about her
apprehensively as she entered a vacant
room. The sound of clinking glasses
and ribald voices in an adjoining
apartment frightened her. Suddenly
girl wearing a tawdry garb peered in
to the room. She viewed Lura critic
ally and then she approached her.
Il don't know you, amt your
kind" she said, but l can guess from
something l overheard this afternoon
that you are here to meet Minna Bur-
ton"
IF I was-if-if-has she been
here?" faltered Lura.
"She will be soon and you must go
away at once. Listen, lady, fly from
that woman. All she has had you meet
her for is to compromise you, for
this is den no respectable person
should enter"
Lura turned white as a sheet. Her
deepest suspicious were aroused. She
hurried from the place She fairly ran
until several squares distant.
