Mr. Wayne had sent flowers to Mrs | Millard upon her birthday. It was very silly for her to care what Mr'} Wayne did, even if he went so far as to marry Mrs. Millard.

Nothing of the kind had ever| before happened to her. What could the box contain? A time bomb? She | smiled. Then, with reckless daring, she itore off the crisp paper covering and | disclosed quite the most beautiful box of candy she had ever seen. She |opened the box and gazed enraptured 'at the delicate arrangement of choco- | lates—two pounds of them. No mean oftering! Her head had ached too hard iat dinner time for her to be able to | swallow more than a cup of tea. Now |she sat down with the box in her lap land began to- nibble girlishly. Even | though Mr. Rich had placed this treas- ure at her door, she enjoyed it none the'less. Mr. Rich was old and well to do, and always doing little kind, gener- us things. He had boarded at her house since his wife's death, three years before, and she hoped she had made him feel at home. Dear old man! To- morrow she would make the dessert he {loved so well. Even though the others did not fancy mince pie, Mr. Rich thould have his mince pie. At breakfast next morning Mary looked bright &nd pretty. ~She had slept restfully upon her supper of choco- lates. She did not thank Mr. Rich, | because she knew he liked to be a little {shy about his kindnesses. But she smiled at him when at dinner that ev.- ning she placed before him a large eut. of his favorite pie. “I made it especially for you, Mr Rich,” she said. Then flushing, she realized that at least two people at the {table were looking at her oddly—Mr. Wayne and Mrs. Millard.

From that moment Mary was aware that something was going on in her own boarding house behind her back— a mysterious something which evinced itself in whispers, shy smiles and curi- ous glances. What was it> She could not understand and gave up finally, |being troubled by many things. For there was always Harold to worry her and lately there had been other things. The roof had taken a notion to leak and Mrs. Pease got a cold and could mot come to help as usual and Mrs. Millard complained that she heard s rat_gnawing at night in her room. In stich an emergency Mary was very glad {when Mr. Rich offered to wait on the |table for her. And Mr. Wayne insisted |on taking care of the furnace fire him- At dinner one evening just after des- sert was served there came the sound of a loud explosion.. Mrs. Millard screamed, Miss Purdy grew faint, the others stared at each other aghast. Through the registers poured coal gas |in suffocating quantities. A second ex- plocion followed immediately, and Mr. Wayne sprang to his feet. Although | Mrs. Millard clung to him, begging him not to go into the cellar, he put her aside and went. The third explosion came after he had reached the cellar. Commotion followed. Mrs. Millard | moaned. “He’ll be asphyxiated,” and lthere was a great opening of doors and | windows. Presently Mr. Wayne emerged, | looking red and uncomfortable. “I'm sorry,” he said. “It's all my fault. I forgot to open the draughts, |the gas collected, and, of course, the { first flame that burst through fired it." For the rest of the evening Mrs. Mil- {lard hung about Mr, Wayne.

MONTEVIDEO, October 19 (#).—The Administrative Couneil has sanctioned a law granting pensions to newspaper men and printers. The basis of treating sickness has not changed since Dr. Caldwell leit Medical College in 1875, hor since he placed on the market the la tive prescription he had used in hi practice, known to druggists and the public since 1892 as Dr. Cald- well's Syrup Pepsin. Then, the treatment of constipa- biliousness, headaches, mental depression, indigestion, sour stom- ach and other indispositions that result from constipation was en- tirely by means of simple vegetable laxatives, herbs and’ roots. These are still the basis of Dr. Caldwell’ Syrup Pepsin, which is a com tion of senna and other mild laxa- tive herbs, with pepsin. The simpler the remedy for con- stipation the safer for the child and for you, and the better for the gen- eral health of all. And as you can get results in a mild and safe way by using Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with strong drugs?
