His physical appearance and his Christian name—the latter hitched to him before he had passed the bald and ruddy stage of early cradlehood— led people who knew him to remark that he would probably never amount to much. The people were, in a sense, correct in their inferences; but Harold was a fair hand with a tennis racket and thought well of himself. Anyway, in the absence of some one story. Kindly overlook his shortcomings. From early childhood he always kept his hair parted at the proper angle and smoothed correctly over his fore- head. This practice of boyhood led inevitably to the proper thing in neck- tles, trousers properly creased and furled above shoes that could be de- pended upon to be somewhere near the prevalling style, although a little too large, perhaps, to be called nifty. Harold was a prime favorite with the young suffragists in the town where he boarded with his folks. He was fairly at home on the blandishing line, and his work never interfered with his social duties. " He spent his evenings away from home, if the social elect of the town had anything in the way of appropri- ate diversion scheduled. Being a good leaves of the latest popular song for the lady at the piano without spiking the harmony with an ill-advised re- versal, he had a chance to meet all of the nice girls of the town, and was often seen escorting one or more of them home after the hostess had been thanked for the ice cream. Sooner or later, Harold had walked home with every young woman in the town, and the rougher boys, who couldn’t go to a party without wilting down a collar, began to hate him. With all of his social appearances, Harold was not in love. The young women probably considered him very nice in the capacity of an attendant, but demurred at taking him to sup- port. There came a time, though, when Harold slipped off into the abyss of love, and having never been in the abyss before, he felt strange. Two sisters-—twin sisters—consti- tuted the stumbling block over which he lost his equilibrium. He met them, one pleasant evening, at an informal affair at the home of Miss Spotts. The affair was informal because Miss Spotts’ father, a blacksmith, desired to live an unpretentious life. The twins were named Louise and Eloise, respectively and respectfully. They looked very much the same. It was easy to tell them apart—when they were tagged. Otherwise not. When Harold was introduced, he told them they looked very much alike. They replied that they had been told the same thing before, which was probably true, as they had resembled each ‘other all along. The remark, however inane, was the wedge which broke up the conversa- tion into convenient blocks. They learned that he liked tennis, because it was an outdoor game, but disliked football, because the players became too dusty. He learned that they were cream, but couldn't row. After the party adjourned Harold found himself walking home with the twins. He supplied one-third of the conversation, but didn’t presume to distinguish between Louise and EI. oise. He avoided any mistake by 'suylng “Miss Stone,” which was the last name of either of the twins on their father’s side. They walked slowly on the way home, and were much better acquaint- ed when they arrived, which shows | that Harold was alive to the situation. | Before leaving for his own home he { decapitated a rose in the front lawn at the home of the Misses Stone, and !in the quiet of his room kissed its petals, afterward putting it carefully away in a mail-order catalogue to press. There were other symptoms of love noticeable before Harold retired, and when he awoke the next morning he was broken out with it. He was a youth who came to con- clusions and meals quickly. He devel- oped a case of mumps in four days after being exposed, which shows that he was, in a way, quite precoclous. Belng thus constituted, he knew i right off that he was in love with one of the twins. Not being able to distin- guish between them, he was unable to say which one he loved, but he was certain he could tell in two guesses. The conviction that he was uncer- taln which Miss Stone he loved trou- bled him greatly at his work the day following his introduction, and one customer complained that he put strawberry flavor in the ice cream soda when she had specifically request. ed pineapple flavor. This s put in to emphasize that Har- old was disconcerted, and not as a re- flection on his ability to draw soda. | He saw the twins frequently after the first meeting, and did his best to monopolize both of them until he could learn to distinguish between them, but finally gave it. up with the decision that he would never know them apart until he bought the solitaire for one of them. But which one? And the more waltzer, and also able to turn thel practicing a duet and liked banana ! Harold puzzled over this perplexing question the more difficult it seemed of solution. He finally decided that he was not fn love with either of the twins, but with both of them, collectively and in the plural. This was an unusual pre- dicament, he thought, and he lost three pounds in a week worrying about it. His mother became alarmed and put a plaster on his chest. Harold, like a dutiful son, submitted, although he knew that a plaster on his chest would not palliate his peculiar malady. Every time he saw the twins—they were always together—his affection and his affliction grew deeper. At last, in pure self-defense, he determined to end the uncertainty by proposing to either Louise or Eloise. He didn’t care which he married, tor‘ more herculean, he is hereby assigned } lhe{l would 'I’n::ehuway after marriage, to duty as the hero of this particular | PEr12Ds, an appy. The very next evening he called on the Misses Stone. He had done so very frequently, 8o they had no reason to suspect the im- port of his visit. They greeted him with unusual warmth, it seemed to Harold, and his flagging determination crystalized. Shortly after he arrived on his amorous errand, one of the twins withdrew from the little parlor, and Harold took a flying leap at his opportunity. Rushing to the side of the remaining twin, he blurted out his confession of deep-seated love and asked her, minc- ing his words somewhat, to become his beautiful, blushing bride, the details to be arranged later. She had started to reply when the sister suddenly re- turned, after which the evening waned slowly. No other opportunity of settling the dilemma arising, Harold prepared to leave, thinking meanwhile of another night of tossing in indecision. One of the twins walked with him to the curb when he departed, and, having every reason to suspect she was the one to whom he had tried to propose in the parlor, he reiterated his proclamation of deep devotion as well as his suggestion of wedding bells at an early date. The twin asked him for time to think it over. She would reply to the momentous question on the following day. Early the following morning a mes- senger came to the drug store with a note for Harold. It was inclosed in a pale blue envelope and was delicately scented with violet. It ran: Dear Boy: 1 was surprised last night by your pro- posal and take this means of accepting. Come up tonight, and let us break the glad news to sister and mother. Devotedly, LOUISE Harold’'s heart gave a flutter with the glad emotion of ownership. The sun seemed very bright, and the flaz of the soda had a more pleasant gur gle. Another messenger arrived with a note for Harold. It was inclosed in a pale pink envelope and was delicately scented with heliotrope. Probably a note of congratulation from Eloise, thought Harold. He was not mistaken. It was from Eloise, all right, and ran: Harold: How did you guess that I love you? Of course I accept your love, and will marry you in June. Devotedly, ELOISB. The world grew black, and Harold went home feeling {ll. That night, without bidding adieu to anyone, he flagged a train a mile west of town and went farther west, where he decided to remain. Years later, after he had married a farmer's daughter, his wife became the mother of twin daughters. Harold thought it would be nice to call one of them Louise and the other Eloise, because they looked so much alike. LURED TO DEATH BY WOLVES Squaws Who Set Out in Search of Missing Child Met Same Fate as the Little One. A Labrador missionary, says Morti- mer Batten in the Wide World, told me a curious story which occurred on the Labrador coast some years ago. One night the little daughter of a cer- taln brave was missing, and, on dis- covering the child’s tracks in the snow, a party of squaws set out to look for her. What was their alarm when, a little way from camp, they found that the footprints of a great gray wolf accompanied those of the child. The brute did not appear to have harmed her, but had apparently trisked along ahead, enticing the child farther and farther from camp. In all probability the child mistook it for a dog and followed readily, though the superstitious Indians, of course, belleved that the brute had exercised some devilish influence over her. Darkness was creeping on, gnd, though much afraid, the squaws continued to tollow the tracks of the wolf and the child. Night found them far from home, when what was their horror to find that they themselves had been deceived, and were now surrounded by wolves! Only one squaw survived the night of horror that ensued, to re- turn next morning to bear tidings of the calamity to camp. —_— Here Was Bravery, Pat, Mike and Terry went to war. During a battle Mike's arm was shot off. Running to Pat he cried: “Op, Pat, Of've had me ar-rm shot oft.” Pat turned to him in disgust. “Quit yer howlin’. Look at Terry over there. He’s had his head shot oft an’ he ain't sayin’ a word.” —____—____—_*_——_—————————-——"———\.‘_-—_'—-.—-—-_-_———""\ SMOKE HAVANA ROYAL, 5 cents; muan e | | o 3 3 Sl The Professions } THE EGYPTIAN SANITAR{yy OF CHRONIC DISEASES Smith-Hardin Bldg., Cor.
