A Merciful Deliverance

By Martha McCulloch-Williams

Copyright, 1906, by Homer Sprague (

“So you won't have me! Who are you waiting for? There’s no other girl around but would say ’Yes, and thanky,’ too,” young Magee said angrily, crushing his hat as he spoke. Peggy laughed. “Oh, for a fairy prince, of course, Johnny—one with spangles all over him and a coach and four,” she said. “I know you’ve got a horse and buggy, money In the bank and the name of a good chance. Somehow, though, I don’t want you—very stupid of me, I dare say, but I don’t I think I can tell you, though, who does want you—worst of all,” as she saw him put up a protesting hand—“ Sally Job, and she’s such a dear! Go right on and ask her. She's worth three of me. And then her Aunt Sarah will leave her money. Think how easy you’ll get rich with money coming In on both sides.” “I don’t want any Sally Job,” Magee raged. “She’s—she’s been after me since we went to school together.” “But don’t you think you’d better let me or some other body say it, Johnny?” Peggy demanded, her eyes dancing. She liked Johnny In a way despite his colossal conceit, a conceit somewhat excused by his bringing up, the pet and idol of three maiden aunts. “ ’Tlsn’t a nice thing to say that of a girl,” she went on. “The fact that you do say It and don’t see that it isn’t nice Is one of the reasons I won’t have you.” “It Is, eh?" Magee said, almost choking. “I came here courting, not to be lectured on manners. Have your way, though, Miss Peggy Lester. But, mark what I tell you, some day you’ll be sorry for what you’re doing now.” “But not so sorry as if I hadn’t done it,” Peggy flung back at him. She had been a bit sorry for him. Now she was angry through and through. “If I thought there was a woman anywhere big enough and rough enough to thrash you within an Iqch of your life I’d

pray that you might get her. Unless there is such a one I hope you’ll die a bachelor.” “Peggy, what are you saying?” Mrs. Lester demanded, stopping stock still In the sitting room door, with her tray of cider and crullers. “You mustn’t mind her, Johnny K " she went on. "You know she's a little spitfire that doesn't mean what she says.” “She does mean it—this time,” Magee answered sulkily. “But, Mrs. Lester, I hope you won’t let that keep you from being my friend.” “Surely not,” Mrs. Lester said, setting down the tray. Johnny must be wrought up when he refused her crullers, to say nothing of the cider. She looked severely at her daughter, P®k-

gy tossed her head. “I’m a friend of Johnny,” she said, with a shadow of a smile. “He can’t deny it. I’ve been advising him for his own good.” “Goodby! When I take your advice I’ll let you know,” said Johnny huffily, his hand on the door. Mrs. Lester sank down, trembling all over. “You’ve done Jt now, Peggy,” she said. “Old Miss Em Magee will never, never lend us the money to pay that security debt of your father’s. Our home will have to go.” “No, It won’t,” Peggy said stoutly, running to her mother as she spoke. “We won’t ask Miss Em. Instead, I’ll go up to the city and see Uncle John.” “It will be no use. He said he’d never help us again when he made up the shortage In the treasurer’s office,” Mrs. Lester said dejectedly. “But your poor pa will keep going security and having It to pay every time.” “Now, now, mother! Don’t fret or go over it all!” Peggy entreated. “I’m bound to go to Uncle John. I don’t believe he’ll turn me away.” Somebody else thought it would be hard work to turn Peggy away upon a leaden morning two weeks later as she sat in wait outside her rich uncle’s private office. He was not a real uncle—only a sort of stepbrother, who had kept terms with his sister, although he had no patience with her easy going husband. It was five years since he had been to the Lester farm. Thus Peggy, grown up into blooming young womanhood, was wholly strange to him. She had not sent in her name. All her bravery had deserted her as soon as she stepped Inside the glass doors. Her cheeks burned under the glance of the men at work there and still more at the looks she got from the other men, older ones, hurrying In and out. She meant to wait until Uncle Joe' appeared, then lay hold on him and prefer her humble petition. Now she wished desperately that she had not come. It Is a question, Indeed, whether she would not have welcomed Johnny Magee and his lovemaking as deliverance could he have happened upon her then and there. The minutes went leadenly, each one seeming an hour. Presently . she beard twelve strokes of the clock and saw men begin to straggle out, putting on greatcoats as they went A grinning office boy said to her: “If you ain’t got a date with the boss,” nodding toward the Inner office, “better make one and come again. See!” Then she heard a clerk say to an Inquirer over the telephone, “Mr. Heddlng Is out; won’t be back till 3 o’clock.” “Are you sure?" Peggy ventured, touching the man’s arm lightly. He smiled and nodded half Insolently. Peggy turned from him, biting her Up. As she went blindly toward the door a young man, somewhat hook nosed and very red lipped, came from the inner office, started at sight of her, then hurried up to her, asking suavely how he might serve her. Inside of a minute he knew everything and stood looking down and pulling bls mustache thoughtfully, but almost Instantly brightened, saying she must follow Mr. Heddlng; nothing easier. The boy should fetch a cab, and he himself would give directions. Might he venture to meet Miss Lester? Delighted to serve a relative of his old friend Heddlng. Between sentences he had been hurrying Peggy out and away, and at the last of them he was huddling her Into a waiting cab. Something happened then, just how Peggy never understood. A plain faced young man, who bad glanced at her pityingly as she passed Into the private office, somehow rose up from the pavement and sent the red lipped gentleman away in something of a panic. “He’s not fit to speak to any decent girl,’.’ the deliverer explained as he took Peggy back to her place of waiting. The deliverer said no more to her. Instead there was a lively buzzing of telephones and some guarded talk over wires. As a result of it Peggy was sent in charge of the office boy up to her Uncle John’s house. She stayed there a week and went home with all the money she would take—a deal more than she had thought of asking for. Even that was not all. She knew the fairy prince was coming to see her In her own rural surroundings before very long. She knew further that he was as rich as he was modest and clean minded, the sort of real fairy prince that every girl longs for. Of

course he came, ari3 equally of course next yj*r they were married. Johnny Magee was mightily upset that all things turned out so well until he married the faithful Sally Job. Then he thought of his escape from Peggy as a merciful deliverance.

A Poor Place to Live In.

Wind end weather were to Mrs. Goodsail a constant source of interest. She watched the clouds and the village weather vanes with eagerness and pleasure, and In doubtful weather her first questton to the grocer’s boy when he came to take or deliver orders was sure to be, “Which way was the meeting house vane p’lnted when you came by?” Her neighbors all humored her by telling of any eccentricity they had discovered in their own or other vanes, and Mrs. Goodsall would speak of “eddies” and “currents” and “swoops” of air in a wise and authoritative manner. “Ildw did you enjoy your visit to Boston?” asked one of her neighbors on Mrs. Goodsall’s return from a week’s sojourn with a niece who lived In the city. “I suppose you saw lots of grand sights. I hear Carrie lives In considerable style.” “She Ilves in a benighted locality,” said Mrs. Goodsail dryly. “That’s what I call It. For all their carriages 'an’ stone steps an’ fine clothes ’tls a behlghted spot. J’eer an’ twist as I could, there was only one weather vane I could sight from their windows, back or front What kind of a place do you call that for intelligent folks to make a home, I’d like to know?”—Youth’s Companion.

Charon’s Boat.

On one of the lakes in the north Island of New Zealand, near Auckland, there was a hotel much frequented by fishermen. On one occasion when a gentleman, whom I will call Mr. X., was staying there he was taken seriously 111, and the landlord, supposing that he could not possibly recover, began to think of making preparations for his visitor’s death. Knowing a man who was a pretty fair carpenter and had owed him money for some time and seeing little chance of being repaid, he told him to make a coffin for the sick man. The coffin was duly made, but Mr. X., Instead of dying, as he ought to have done, recovered, and there was therefore no uge for the coffin. The landlord, not caring to be at the expense, included a charge for it iq Mr. X.’s bill, whq, on seeing it, natural, ly enough demurred to paying for something which he had not ordered, and did not want. The landlord said Is was very hard that the loss should fall on him, as he had only done it for the best, and Mr. X. at last agreed to pay for it. Determined to turn It to some account, he had a keel put to it and used it as a fishing punt during the remainder of his stay at the hotel.—London Telegraph.

The Ruby.

There are four degrees of merit In the ruby class. The first is the deep blood red oriental ruby—the “cochineal red”—pure, suggestive, without admixture of the brown or violet. The second is the spinel, almost as beautiful as the oriental, but a shade less rich, less supreme In color. The third Is the balas, a rose red ruby, valuable In proportion to Its depth of tint and esteemed perfect only when It attains a certain size and weight A small pale balas ruby Is of very meager value. The fourth Is the almandine, or rublcele, of a yellowish red, oftentimes tinged with brown. The Brazilian topaz is not Infrequently made to pass for balas ruby. It Is heated In a crucible filled with sand, which drives off the yellow and fills In the rose red tint of the balas ruby. Garnets, too, have often done duty for rubles, and many a writer has confounded garnets, rubles and carbuncles all In a heap together.

Sunday Dyspepsia.

“Sunday dyspepsia—that Is what you have,” said the doctor, rfmiling. “Sunday dyspepsia?" “Yes, and It Is not a rare complaint either. It is due to this bad habit of mating foolishly and gluttonously on Sunday. Through the week you eat like a sensible man—a moderate breakfast early, a light luncheon and a good, substantial dinner at the end of the day. But on Sunday you eat a heavy breakfast at or 11. At 1 you sit town to an enormous dinner, stuffing yourself without appetite,' and at 0:30, when you are really hungry, you eat light, unsatisfactory food, like Saratoga chips and lettuce sandwiches—ln a word, a Sunday supper. The result of this change for the worse, made once a week by millions of men, is Sunday dyspepsia, an ailment for which I always prescribe a 6 o'clock Sunday dinner.’’—New York Press.

Oats For Horses.

There Is no grain so saftrfor horse feeding as oats, the animal rarely being seriously Injured If by accident or otherwise an oversupply is given. Unless the horse is hard pressed for time or has poor teeth oats should be fed whole. Musty oats should be avoided.

For winter feeding clover hay, pea straw, corn fodder, oat hay, oat straw and millet are admirable coarse feeds. Their vAlue, based upon palatabillty as Indicated by the quantity eaten, Is about in the order given.—American Agriculturist

Positively, not one weak heart In a hundred is. In itself, actually diseased. It is almost always a hidden tiny little nerve that really is all at fault. This obscure nerve—the Cardiac, or Heart Nerve —simply needs, and must have, more power, more stability, mors controlling, more governing strength. Without that the Heart must continue to fail, and the stomach and kidneys also have these same controlling nerves. This clearly explains why. as a medicine. Dr. Shoop's Restorative has in the past done so much for weak and ailing Hearts. Dr. Shoop first sought the cause of all this painful, palpitating, suffocating heart distress. Dr. Shoop's Restorative—this popular prescription—is alone directed to these weak and wasting nerve centers. It builds; IQtrengthens; it offers real, genuine heart help. If you would have strong Hearts, strong digestion. Strengthen these Serves— reestablish them m needed, with Dr. Shoop’s Restorative < A. F. LONG.
