I had the ambition, but not the opportunity. While waiting for the opportunity I idered into your well kept caravan- sary. You cast your bread on the wa- ters—that is, you took me in without money aud without price, trusting to my honor to pay you in the future.” “I never did anything of the kind, exclaimed Mrs. Russell. “I told JOII the front room upstairs and board would be $8 per week, and you said it was cheap enough. I couldn’t get a cent out of you, and after four weeks you skipped out. You are a bilk and a deadbeat, sir, but I'll have my money ow the reason why!” You had confidence in me, my dear woman, when others had not, and I determined that when the time came I would repay vou a hundredfold. That time 1 could draw you a check for §3,000, but I propose to do even better than that. As I said, I lave just organized the Great Ameri- can company. I want a sec- retary at §i5,000 per year, and the place is yours. As you leave this of- fice for home I will accompany you as far as the Twenty-eighth National bank and there open an account for you to the amount of half your first yea ry. Tomorrow we will see about your horses and diamonds. I shall want you to drive to and from the office, and the larger diamonds you got the better I shall be pleased. Do you write a sloping or back hand?” Won't Stand For Blarney. “That’s nothing to do with the case,” she retorted. “You owe me a bill, and T want it, and all your blarney will go for nothing. I shan't take any check either, but want cash.” “Mrs. Russell, do you know the value of the waste in this country every year?” asked the major after consult- ing a battered city directory for a couple of minutes. “I know that such rascals as you beat me out of at least $200 every Llie money value of the waste is a hundred million dollars every year. The Economic' company will save as muel of that waste as possible. It will gather up castoff clothing, boots and shoes, foods, played out umbrellas, bottles, tin cans and so forth.

Among my mail this morning was a letter from King Edward of England, in which he says he will save at least a million dollars’ worth of old shoes for us every year. It is the higgest, richest thing in the world. Al the gold mines of Colorado put together can't equal it. Can you vear we shall gather up amount of $10,000,000, which wiil be elear pro first dictate to a stenograpber?’ “I'd Lke to know what all this talk | is about!” angrily replied the cred- itor. “I tell you, sir, it won't do. You played the sneak and skulked on me, and now you've got to pay that bill. ‘Will you do it now?” “My dear old landlady, it pains me to observe this aggr e disposition on your part. You sheltered me. You trusted me. You had confidence in me when the rest of the world turned coldly a I am 2 man who can never et a kindiess, but now, when 1 would requite you"— “Why didn’t you come back and pay up like a man?” “Montls and months ago, when the tide had turned with me and the mil- | lions were rolling in, I started Zor your house with a check in my pocket. T anticipated taking you by the hand and tellinz you how glad 1 was to be able to pay my debt. Almost at your door I met Jones—Jones of the cock eye—and he told me that you had mar- ried a French count and gone to Paris o set up a steam laundry. That was the sole rcason why I retraced my steps. 1 have tried in vain to get your Paris address. Are you just in on the steamer?” Heor Last Request. “You know better. You know that you are Iying to me. I ask you once more and for the last time, will you pay that bill?” “Certai my dear—certainly. I sh it was larger.

I'll take the money for that bill, and then T'll leave you—no check, but the cold cash.” “It is hawl, woman—it Is hard in- deed to have one’s financial honor doubted, but I must forgive you. As Fyou will not take a check I will run upstairs and get the photographer to cash it. I suppose $40 will straighten the matter out?” “Yes, sir.” “If any one calls tell 'em I'll be back in three minutes,” said the major as he disappeared through the door. The landlady waited fifteen minutes and then began to shiver with the cold. She waited fifteen more and then be- gan to walk about. ‘When three-quarters of an hour had passed she looked out in the hall. At the end of an hour she kicked over two chairs, tore the calendar off the wall and knocked down the stove- pipe and went downstairs, Some folks might have waited all winter, but Mrs. Russell knew when to let M. QUAD. Innocent. Timothy Coffin, who was prominent at the bar of Bristol county, Mass., half a century ago, once secured the ac- quittal of an old Irishwoman accused of stealing a piece of pork. As she was leaving the courtroom she put ber hand to her mouth and in an audible whisper said: “Mr. Carfin, por-ruk Quickly came the retort: “Eat it, you fool.

Light of the Stars. Varfous attempts have been made to estimate the light of stars. In the northern hemisphere Argelander has registered 324,000 stars down to the nine and one-half magnitude, with the aid of the Dbest photometric data, Agunes M. Clerk’s “System of the Stars” gives the sum of the light of these northern stars as equivalent to 1.440 of full moonlight, and the total light of all stars similarly enumerated in both bemispheres to the number of about 900,000 is roughly placed at 1.180 of the lunar brightness. The scattered light of still fainter celestial bodies is difficult to evaluate. By a photograph- ic method Sir William Abney in 1896 rated the total starlight of both hem- ispheres as 1.100 of full moonlight, and Professor Newcomb in 1901 from visual observations of diffused sky radiance fixed the light power of ail stars at just 728 times that of Capella, or 1.89 of the light of the full moon. It is not certain, however, that the sky would be totally dark if all stars were Dlotted out. Certain processes make the upper atmosphere strongly lumi- nous at times, and one never can be sure that this light is absent. Dog That Climbed a Tree. Can a dog climb a tree? A corre- spondent writes: “While on a walk on snowshoes in New Hampshire we tracked a porcupine to a balsam fir, My Scottish terrier climbed the tree, pull- ing herself up from branch to branch to a height of about seven feet, where a space of bare trunk separated her from the porcupine, which had watched Ler progress with evident alarm. The terrier made several ineffectual at- tempts to scale the smooth bark and finally jumped down into the snow.” And of another curious trait the same writer continues: “This little dog and her mate, now dead, though enthusi- astie fire worshipers at home, never sat near the boufires built at luncheon or tea time on winter walks, but dug holes in the snow at a little distance, in which they curled themselves up after the manner of their primitive an- cestors.”—Chicago News.

INTERNAL PARASITES. Coouper’s New Discovery has taught me many things. Not least of which is that parasites or tape worms as they arecalledare | responsible for an immense amount of suffering. Thousands of these creatures havebeenbrought to me by people who have taken the New. Discov- eryandInow know that an immense amount of sup- posed stomach trouble is caused in reality by one of these parasites. A man or woman may be afflicted in this manner for years and not realize the true cause of their sufferin When I first sold Cooper’s New Discovery I did not know that the medicine would remove this trouble. I have since found that it invariably does so.
