He posed there, staring gloomily out into the fast darkeuing street, think- ing how very bad was business, in- deed, and wondering why he had ever brougit his little stock of dry goods, clothing, boots and shoes and notions to Riverton, “I would go to a real live, wide- awake town,” he ruminated, “and here I am—trade dull, stock dead, and 1 don’t seem to make mnany friends. tHeigh ho!

The ex- E cited eustomer, a farmer, was {in- formed that his purchase would be_g handed to hir free of charge.

Heartsick and footsore, I crept in here to rest— maybe to die. I don’t know, for I feel pretty bad.” and the poor fellow's eyes filled with tears. “What do you want?” inquired John, a trifle harshly; “money, I suppose, to buy liquor.” The tramp reached into his pocket, drew out a folded paper and opened it so that his challenger could see what it was. “A temperance pledge, eh?” re- marked John, almost contemptuously. “And your name is Lemuel Price?” “Yes, sir. I'm through with all that. I've been through with it for over a week. I've done it because I'd got low enough to beg hard earned wages from my motherless daughter. “It stopping short is going to kill me, all right—at least I'll die sober.” ' The man was shivering as he spoke. There was a feverich flush to his wan face. He looked hungry. John Moore i believed his story. “See here,” he said; “if it's a bodl and something to eat, come with me. When John had closed the store he led his pensioner to the neat suite of rooms he occupied behind the store. It seemed to brichten up the place to | have company, even poor but grateful I company, as Price was | | It was as a new man luu the latter | entered on the next day. John had fed him on nutritious soup and gruels, he had given him a comfortible bed Out of his stock he selected a neat, unsalable suit of clothes, and the ex- tramp went out on the street, cleaa- shaven and encouraged, to again lovk | for work. “If you don’t make it,” sald John, “come back, and I'll give you bcard and lodging for helping around the ! store until you get something tetter [ to do. ’ Price reported that afternooz He | had found a chance to work as a teamster, he said, but, he added, he had decided first to submit a propo- sition to the storekeeper. “All right, what is it?” asked John in his usnal crisp, businesslike way. “Well,” replied Price, “I don’t want vou to be offended, but I've heen try- | ‘il\" to study out why wyou don’t &0 wore business than you do. You have i got the stock. Other stores are just | rushing, Saturday’s, ¢:pecially, lhe| ‘trade is big.

(Copyright, 1913, by W. G. Chapman.) l Martha. Her On Style. Idiosyncrasies of character tell even more than variety of subjects in their | influence on style. No two persons, are cast in the same mould. Clearly, | therefore, the dress which is very be- coming to one writer or speaker may be very unbecoming to another. Yet, to the end of time, in deflance of this truism, packs of imitators dog the steps of genius, as the courtiers of Alexauder copied the conqyeror's wry neck, or the courtiers of George IV. his bulging cravats, or as the under carter apes the slouch and shamble of the wagoner. This pecullar style in which Carlyle clothed his oracular utterances suited him and them, the jerkiness and joultiness of his een- tences startling the world into awten- tion, and the difficulty of uu\\mppmz‘ the mummy from the cerecloths ne cessitating the offort of Will, w:thout ! which the thought cannot be 'x:lsped,!
