s Visitor-A Short Story By JAMES WATSON
1 am expecting a visitor tonight. Mrs. Maloney." -Indeed. sirr Hit landlady's Tolce aounded more friendly than be had heard it for a long time, a fact probably connected with his paying four weeks overdue rent of his room a few moments before. The sudden transformation of her lodger from a doubtful debtor into a solvent superior, needed some show of appreciation. Mrs. Maloney felt rather uneasy. She had been letting out furnished ronis In the neighborhood of 91st street and Second avenue for many yeurs aud seen many queer people, but she had surely never seen an expression as that she wss now beholding in this young man's eyes. He seemed at the same time calm and excited, hit face was rather paler than usual. tLough she had never seen it anything but pale, and his fingers were restlessly drumming on the table. ."The man. I am expecting. Mrs. Moloney, Is a very grand and Influential personage, more powerful than even the president of the United States, so you may imagine how I feel, know
ing that he is to take dinner with me in this very room tonight." "Good Lord and it is only a little cold corned beef and potatoes that I have for supper tonight " "Corned beef and potatoes. Mrs. Maloney! Can you get a decent dinner for this?" he asked and threw down a twenty dollar bill. Mrs. Maloney rubbed her eyes In astonishment Never had any of her lodgers displayed so much cash and she had her doubts as to whether be had got it honestly, but quickly came to a satisfactory conclusion. "He must have sold that there book he is always a-talking about to our Mamie," she told herself. "Sure and you can have a dandy dinner the two of you for that money," she said aloud and added a number of fancy dishes that set her own mouth watering. "Yes, and I shall want some champagne to drink my visitor's health." "Indeed you chall, sir, and Just off the Ice too, just like the swells have it. I know all about from the time I was a cook." "Well then you just go ahead Mrs.
Maloney. I leave It all to you and If there Is any change left, you can give it to Mamie for a new ribbon for her hair. Have the table set here by eight and do not have anyone Interrupt us or wait on us when I have let my friend in. as we want to discuss private matters." Mrs. Maloney trotted downstairs as fast as her heavy legs would carry her and told the news to her pretty but rather untidy daughter, waving the yellow bill 'in the air as a proof she had not been, hitting the bottle but that she was telling the naked
truth. "He must have sold that book of his, I am sure." "Now that is bully good news mother," Mamie exclaimed, "for he had Just about given it up. , I know he had for he told me he hadn't 'slept for a week, he was that worried. And only last night he said that all he had was twenty dollars. I am so glad. Maybe it Is the publisher who is coming tonight that he's got to blow off to a dinner." Mamie's pretty eyes grew just a little dim at the thought that he had not told her about his good fortune, before he told her mother. She drew a deep sigh and sat down to darn one of the lodger's socks rather viciously. "It's him that's doing all the talking," said Mrs. Maloney later in the evening, "and not overmuch of the
eating, though it's very little he has eaten these weeks. I Just sneaked up to his door in my stocking feet and I heard as he spoke up aloud and said
It was the only way and " "Too oughter. be ashamed of yourself mother to listen at the' doors, but you never had any manners at alL" Mrs. Maloney was rather afraid of Mamie so she made no answer and did not even say anything when the girl ran out at the sound of the letter carrier's whistle and stood talking to him for quite a while at the gate before she ran upstairs with a letter. Mamie looked at the letter, and
when she saw that it was from a pub
lishing firm, to whom the lodger above had sent his manuscript as a last resort, she concluded it must be good news and rushing upstairs, she knocked at the young man's door. "There is a letter for you Mr. Ever
ett." she said joyfully, but no one ans
wered. Again she knocked and called his name and a sudden fear came upon
her. She quickly pushed open the door and saw the man she was looking for sitting alone at the table his head resting in his hand. In front of him was an empty wineglass containings some white dregs. His eyes ' were
glassy. "
Mamie gave a cry of terror and fell down on her kneds at his side. Her rough movement upset his balance
and he fell stiffly forward against the table. '.'..'.-,.-:' :.;.,.,::.:,';:" As Mamie kissed the cold lips she suddenly understood who his visitor hadsn. Coughs and Sneezes. "My congregation coughed this morning." a clergyman sajd. "I could hardly make myself beard. It was most annoying." . "Well." said a physician, "the next time they cough tell them to press the upper Up Just beaeath'the nose. Pressing the nerves in that quarter will stop the most obstinate cough, and by the same token it will stop a sneeze too. . "I'll tell you how to stop the hiccough. Too press hard on the cheek right in front of the ear. Those nerves there coo trot the hiccoughs as money controls pontics. Xou need only press the nerves will do the rest."

Garfield Public School, N. C. Heironimus, Principal. Richmond, Ind., April 21, 1910. The Pilgrim Furnace Co. Gentlemen: The furnace you Installed for me has given me most satisfactory service, and surely the past winter was one to teat the efficiency pf a heating plant. The uniformity' of temperature maintained in different parts of the house has been a constant surprise to me (if I may so State it), and to all who have seen the furnace in operation. This uniform distribution' of heat Is satisfactory evidence of a constant and complete circulation of air. More space was kept heated this year, more satisfactorily, and at a smaller cost than for the preceding winter. Taking into account the severity of the last winter, I am well pleased from the financial standpoint. I may add tha during this month, and last, I have found the furnace equally satisfactory for days when but' little fire Is needed. I do not think I would care to exchange it for any other plan of heating with which I have had any experience. Very truly, N. C. HEIRONIMUS.
Richmond, Ind., April 21, 1910. Mr. Herman P. Pilgrim. I take this opportunity of expressing to you our entire satisfaction with the "Mogul Furnace" you Installed in our house. It has heated our seven rooms and bathroom perfectly during the last long cold winter, and with as small quantity of fuel as it Is possible with any furnace, having had exporience with many different kinds of furnaces, I must say the "Mogul" is decidedly the best of all. Yours truly, J. B. 8MELSER. 430 Pesrl Street.
Dr. R. J. Pelrce, 200 West Main Street. Pilgrim Furnace Company. Dear Sirs: I am glad to be able to state that the furnace you Installed for me In November, 1909, has proved eminently satisfactory. During the past winter, notwithstanding its extreme rigors, our house has been much more comfortable and more evenly heated than formerly when base burners were used. The dissemination of heat and the consequent circulation of air, which obtains at all times regardless of outside currents, substantiates abundantly all that is claimed for the principle upon which the furnace is constructed. Very truly yours, R. J. PEIRCE.
Office of Trustee of Wayne Township. Richmond, Ind., AprU 27, 1910. Mr. H. F. Pilgrim. Dear Sir: The Mogul Furnace bought from you last winter and put In the School District 7 at Smyrna, has given satisfaction in every respect and can recommend it to anyone intending to buy. ' JAMES HOWARTH, Township Trustee, Wayne-Township.
. Westcott Hotel Barber Shop. Pilgrim Bros. Dear Sirs: In regatd to your furnace will say that we are well pleased with it and will recommend It to any one. Yours respectfully. WEBB PYLE.
219 South Eighth Street, Richmond. Richmond, Ind., April 27, 1910. Pilgrim Furnace Company. Dear Sirs: Your Mogul Heating Plant, installed at 617 South A street last November, has far surpassed my expectations and has given entire satisfaction at all times the past winter. HERBERT C. GARRETT, Letter Carrier, No. 2, Richmond, Ind.
Alexander R. Beyerle, Justice of the Peace, 7 North 9th St. Richmond, Ind., April 23, 1910. II. F. Pilgrim. v Dear Sir: The Mogul Furnace you installed in my house last fall has given good satisfaction. For an eightroom house it has done very well. During the days of coldest weather the temperature in the living rooms was usually kept at 75 to SO degrees. In point of economy it Is quite attractive, having consumed only six tons of soft coal in six months. If I were to build a new house, I would have it equipped, if possible, with a Mogul Furnace. Respectfully. A. R. BEYERLE.
Richmond. Ind., April 23, 1910. H. F. Pilgrim. Dear Sir:- I have been wanting to write to you about the furnace you installed In our house. It is a good one. Plenty of heat in the house and no wasted heat in the cellar. A small amount of fuel makes the heat. I know what I am talking about because I had experience with other furnaces. I can certainly recommend your furnace. AMOS HENNING.
April 23, 1910. Dear Sir: After using your furnace two seasons, the least I can say for same is, aside from the convenience as well as the simple operation of it, the economic standpoint alone should induce every one using heating stoves to have one of theso furnaces. It has done all you claimed of it, and more, as our home was never heated more uniformly before installing, nor as cheaply. It certainly saves a great expenditure of personal energy necessary In taking care of the heating proposition. W. H. DUNING.
The Fountain City Novelty Works. Fountain City, Ind., April 25, 1910. Pilgrim Furnace Co., Richmond, Ind. i Gents: Have had several callers to see my furnace and to find out its value, and I am only pleased to state for benefit of those seeking a heating plant that I would sure put in the same kind If installing another. For economy in fuel, regularity of heat and other advantages it cannot be beat. Very respectfully, CHAS. N. HATFIELD.
April 23, 1910. Dear Sir: I cant say too much for the furnace you installed In my house. It Is perfect success. Plenty of heat upstairs and down, and saved money in fuel, saying nothing of the extreme winter. I believe I saved iif of my former fuel bill. - G. N. SNYDER.

Dear Sirs: In regard to the heating plant that you installed in my house we are very well pleased with it. We heated our house very nicely with but very little fuel.; Only used 2 tons of coal, not any more than one stove would burn to keep two rooms warm. We kept from four to six rooms warm enough to keep flowers growing all winter. I think that is good enough. As ever your friend, HARRY F. EWBANK. R. R. No. ;
