A very simple home remedy which brings almost instant rellef is to pour half a pint of bolling water on to a dram of pulverized camphor, and to inhale the vapor for about ten to fifteen minutes. The annoying fits of sneezing, running eyes and heavy feeling In the head will quickly yleld to this remedy. That Shining Nose. At the opera the young man who paid for the seats was engaged for a few tense moments in a study of a stunning woman of middle age who " HER ART— OR HEART? By Catherine Coope “Julia, just be sensible and reason ! this thing out with me.” Leon Wil- son, astride a chair gazed over fold- ed arms at the girl. follow a career and I haven't a de- sire in the world to marry and never will have. Why not go through the marriage ceremony with me? Come —be sensible.” “It was a perfectly detestable thing to do—to make such a will.” Julia was on the verge of tears. “Uncle Harry might have known I would fol- low my art without his money!" “That's just it,” expostulated Leon. “The old man hated careers and he knew that you couldn't study without money—and you can't Julla. You can't 80 abroad and study under good mas- ters and all that sort of thing without money and if you are not married by the end of next week you are penniless and [ get all the money. It puts me in a mighty mean position—espe- cially when we are such good pals.” “I know—but—we don't love each other—that way,” cried Julia. “That's the joy of the whole arrange- ment.” Leon jumped excitedly from his chair. “If we did, it would be goodby to career, goodby to mp trip around the world and goodby to the freedom we both love.” “You are putting it rather sensibly,” admitted Julia. “But—you may fall in love some day and then—" “Never! Living all my life with so perfect a specimen has made me indif- ferent from the ordinary woman.” He turned frank, serious eyes toward her. “Uncle did me the greatest turn of my life when he picked a little waif out of the snow and gave her to me for a sister. Do you think | am going to let an old man's foibles stand in the way of your desire? If you were in love with some one and thinking of marrying in time to save the mon- ey it would be all right, but you are not—are you?" “No,” laughed Julia. “Good! We can be married immedi- ately as the will demands and then— we can drop each -other at the first lamp post,” he added lightly. “It 18 a good idea,” admitted Julia, “but 1 still feel that 1 am stepping between you and happiness.” “Rot!” Leon's tone satisfied her. “In another minute 1 would sell this beau- tiful old Wilson Manor and give the money to a home for stray mice. Just because Uncle Harry was jilted by a girl who chose a career instead of him and a family I see no reason why ! he should seek to cut you off.” “Perhaps he expected that clause in the will to make me settle down with a husband and family,” Julla laughed. “Uncle was mistaken,” Leon said. “Then it's settled! Julia, you are a trump!" “So are you,” echeed Julia, “Settle the bargain!™ He leaned over and thev kissed each other—-a kiss void of tren. v “Eloping would save a lot of embar- rassiment,” Leon suggested. “We can send the certificate back to the law- {yer, and he will fix you up with the | money.” “Half of it,” corrected Julia. “Dut I didu't know yeu were coming with me. He raised his surprised eyebrows. “My dear Julia! Do you want all the villagers to know the conditions of our marriage? Certainly 1 will es- cort you to Paris—I suppose that's your destination—and from there I will start on my Joyous trip. We are both sick of this place—the conditions of the will are really a blessing to each of us. If the break hadn't come this way we might have hung on at the old place for another decade.” “Yes, and we couldn't have lived In this house together, anyway,” laugh- ed Julia, “and wouldn't the place seem terrible—with one of us gone?” “It could be. Our marriage is doub- ly sensible.” Leon gazed reminiscent- 1y about the old-fashioned sitting room. “We will leave old Mammy Jane in charge while we are away.” He turn- ed and faced Julia. “There is a full moon—are you game to elope tomor- row night? We can sail Saturday and 1 am sure you would rather get a trousseau in Paris than in Wilson- ville.” “You forget—I don’t need a troms- seaun.” Leon looked uncomprehendingly at her, and a slow blush mounted her cheeks. “That's so0,”" he laughed, quickly. “Well, 1 must be off to get the rings. They are to be thick and broad so that none of those French guys will try to flirt with my wife.” The word sounded strange in Julia's ears and she would have called him back, but he was gone. The following evening they slipped off and were quietly married. A trip to France was filledl with keen enjoy- ment nor was it marred by embar- rassment at their unique position. It was more a continuation of the life they had always led. The day of parting arrived. It was sat in the row !n front. Then he | 4ining and gloomy.

Julia's studio in the Latin Quarter. “Remember, Julla—if you are over lonesome or If you have the slightest desire to marry—just telegraph me. In the former case I will come to cheer you and in the second—we will look into an annulment of our marriage. It is all very simple.” “You are an old dear,” Julia with tears in her voice. promlse you will do the same.” “Haven't I already promised to love, murmured “And ]lhe tears were very near, i "Well, 1 must be off.

Paris without Leon. Paris with only work ahead seemed a very dreadful place to Julia. She dried her tears and set to work with a will, When Leon left his wife he turned into all the booking offices he passed | and purchased tickets to Rome and St. | Petersburg and Berlin - and all '.boi places he had seen ip his dreams for many years past, I was terrible to buy only one tick- et. The pleasure of traveling had been | diminished by one-half with no Julia | to buy a ticket for. During the long | journeying, Leon managed to pick up | an occasional friend, but occasional | raveling compranions were few. Leon | was desperateiy lonesome. There was no one to rhapsodize with; there was no one to grumble | with and—there was no one to talk home with. Home and the thoughts of home be- came an obsession. He longed for the | great chair in the llving room at Wil- | son Manor, his pipe and tobacco were ‘ always there. He thought many times 1 of his big clean bed with its sheets | that smelled of lavender. Most of all | he wanted to sit in his own dining room and watch Julia pour him a cup of Mammy Jane's black coffee. Some five or six weeks later, hav- ing come by the quickest route from the Interior of Japan a man alighted from the train as it steamed into the station at Wilsonville. The long sta tion bus was discernible in the dark- ness and the man sprang eagerly to- ward it. Before the lank horses started off another passenger crept into the bus. Wilson could see that it was a woman, The wheels rumbled on through the darkness and finally drew up at the huge entrance posts at Wilson Manor. The horses would have turned in, but Leon Wilson sprang lightly out. “I'll walk up through the grounds.” He spoke shortly because the sight of the old tree lined drive had made speech hard. He swung off through the winding lane on which the trees cast weird shadows. When the lights from the living room gleamed through the fo- liage the refrain of “Home, Sweet Home,” burst from his lips—nor did he hear the voice that had called to him a second time. “Leon! Leon! Walt for me—I am| {afraid of the shadows!" | His suitcase dropped on the road- way as he turned swiftly but a lit- l!lu panting figure had tumbled into his arms. | they, Leon?" MAKING IT EASY FOR HIM Bragging Billiard Player. After De- feat, Meets With Something Very Like Satire. He had always suggested that he was much too good a player to' in- dulge in billiards with any member of the workmen's club. But one eve- ning he did condescend to join in a game with some of the amateurs— just to show them how billiards could be played! Alas! his style was bad and his play was worse. He missed the easiest of cannons, and when he tried to pot the red he only succeeded in cutting the cloth! At the end of the game some kind of excuse was really necessary. His display had been the most wretched ever seen in the club. “Of course,” he explained, “this table is not full size—only about a quarter the proper size, in fact I really can’t play my usual game on it"” But the table, as it happened, was full gize, and one of the workmen became annoyed. “I understand, sir"—and the horny handed one nodded politely. “As a matter of fact, this isn’t our billiard table—only one of the card tables. They've got the real billiard table in the next room, 80 We can't use it They're playing a football match on it!"—London Answers.
