Clever Ideas Utilized in Sales Promotion

Doctor Johnson's amusing Meditation
on Pudding has been seized upon
by the proprietor of a patent baking
powder who prints the meditation"
as follows, with, Of course, his own
ingenious additions: Let us seriously
reflect Of what pudding is composed.
1t is composed of -four that once
waved in the golden grain, and drank
the dews of the morning; of milk
pressed from the swelling udder by
the gentle hand of the beauteous milk
maid. 1t is made with an egg, that
miracle of nature, which the theoreti-
cal Burnett has compared to creation.
Let us consider: can there be more
wanting to complete the meditation
on q pudding? II more is wanted
more may be found. 1t contains salt,
which keeps the sea from putrefac-

of intellectual excellence, attributes

Amos went into the dining room and
sat In a rocking chair with little Pa
tfence and the balloon In his lap.
"Where'd she get the balloon?''
asked Amos as Lydia brought in the
platter of meat.
"Margery gave it to her." answered
the child. "Suppers ready"

Sure" said Lizzie, good-naturedly
Lydia sat opposite her father and
poured tea. The ancient maid of all
work sat beside Patience and dis
pensed the currant sauce and the
cake.
The baby was half asleep before
the meal was ended. "She didn't fin
ish her nap this afternoon" said
Lydia. "Tll take her up to bed now
and finish my cake afterward."
The little sisters slept together In a
slant-ceilinged bedroom. Here again
was dust and disorder, the floor COW
cred with clothing and toys, the bed
unmade, the old-fashioned mahogany
bureau piled high with books, brushes,
and soiled teacups that had held the
baby's milk.
There was still light enough to see
by. Lydia stood Patience on the bed
and got her into her nightdress after
gently persuading the baby to let her
fasten the balloon to the foot of the
bed. Then she carried her to the lit
tie rocker by the window and with a
look that was the very essence of moth
erhood began to rock the two-year-old
to sleep. Presently there fioated down
to Amos, smoking his pipe on the
front step, Lydia's childish, throaty
contralto:

With all its riches surely mine;
I've reached that beauteous shining
shore.

But the lawyer very gravely ana
seriously reiterated the unqualified d.
rection from Mr.. Tresham, SO Verne
returned to Midvale.
1t was an inexplicable and chilling
reception that awaited him. He had
never seen his uncle so distant.
''Yes, 1 sent for you," he said stern
ly. II suppose l need not tell you
why" and he passed across the table
between them three checks for ten
thousand dollars each. They bore
dates few days apart and the cam
celled stamp of the bank. They had
been made out payable to self or bear
er, and they had been cashed through
bank at Truxton.
"Well?" questioned Verne, looking
up In puzzled way, "what has this
got to do with meY
slave you the audacity to ask"
challenged his uncle stormily. Lis
ten-I know all. You forged my name
to those checks. You alone can imi-
tate my handwriting so cleverly, for
on occasions 1 have warranted your
using my signature. You alone had
access to the check book in my safe,
and those three checks were torn out
from the back of my check book"
OF course Verne Indignantly pro-
tested. 1t was of no avail. His uncle
swore that unless he went away to a
distant solitude he would disown him.
Verne found the Boyd home shut
against him. Leila had been sent
away to relative convinced of his
guilt, his uncle claimed.
A broken man, confronted by mys-
terry he could not fathom, Verne re-
NAMED In seclusion for week. One
evening visitor was announced. 1t
was Mrs. Vassour.
She was pale, wretched looking.
She inquired of Verne where he had
last seen Reeves. He told her at
Truxton. She said he had disap-
peared from there. She broke out in
to bitter vituperation of the wretch
who had borrowed all her money and
left her penniless.
Verne felt sorry for the adventur-
ess. He inquired gently as to her
necessities and rendered her some
money. She took it, started to leave
the room, and then, some wild i'm
pulse stirring her, returned to his
side.
you are gentleman, and friend"
she said, her voice quivering. Il con-
fess ALL
In amazement Verne listened to her
story. A past mistress in the art
hynotic, she had placed him under
the influence of her power that eve
ming at the cafe garden. She had
forced him to reveal all about his
uncle and the details of his business.
While he was at Truxton she had
visited Mr.. Treshan. Upon him she
had worked her spell also. Uncon-
sciously he had produced the check
book and followed her directions.
Reeves had cashed the checks at
Truxton and had disappeared with the
money.
81 do not know where he is" said
Mrs. Vassour, "but / know his old
associations, and If you promise not
to prosecute me will assist in run
ming him down."
Which was done, and nearly the
whole Of the money recovered. Then,
amid the amazing manifestation that
the signature to the checks was his
own, Mr.. freshman was more than
contrite. He gave the entire amount
recovered to his nephew, and Leila be-
came happy bride.

She attacked the greasy stove with
enthusiasm and In short time a sa-

The novels of Honore willsie
offer tremendous appeal to
men and women alike. All wom-
en- love her novels. while men
also have come to know that
whatever she writes will be of
prime interest. She puts real
men into her books-men who
are not movie msnneQuins, Greek
gods or paragons of virtue. And
her heroines are the sort OF girls
that men rather fancy. One would
look a long way through Amer
lean fiction of the present day to
find more charming heroine
than the Lydia of this story. Yet

exec asses of sentimentality.

Elected by the honest ambition
