THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1916

By Wm. J. Burns "Because, my dear boy, he was in a mighty bad fix when he had need to call upon me. Oh, by the way, I have the letter here in my safe I found it I only the other day." t . "The letter? What letter?" "The letter Mr. Lawton wrote me I from Long Bay asking me to get Mr. Moore's help in the matter here it is." : y- : Mallowe went to his safe, and opening it, withdrew from an inner drawer a paper which he presented to the young lawyer. After a cursory examination Ramon placed it upon the desk before him, and turning to Mr. Mallowe said: - "I am awfully sorry to have annoyed you with this matter, but you understand exactly how Miss Lawton and I feel about it"

One day Mr. Possum was walking through the woods thinking of something good to eat. though he had not the slightest idea where he would get It, when he met Mr. Coon coming along with his head down as if he, too, were thinking. " 'Morning," said Mr. Possum, "a penny for your thoughts, Friend Coon." "My thoughts are worth more than a penny. Mr. Possum," said Mr. Coon, after he had said good morning, 'if it only costs a penny to get what I am thinking about, I might have it." "Do tell what you were thinking about." said Mr. Possum. "I, too, was indulging in an expensive thought." "I was a-thinking," began Mr. Coon In a drawling tone, "that a good fat chicken or duck or anything along that line would taste good, and that it was a long time since I had enjoyed a pood square meal." "Well, I wasn't thinking about the meal being square." said Mr. Possum, "but I will confess I was thinking FOUR WEEKS IN HOSPITAL Mrs. Brown Finally Restored to Health by Lydia E.

At times I could hardly walk, for if I stepped on a little stone I would almost faint. One day I did faint and my husband was sent for and the doctor come. I was taken to the hospital and stayed four weeks but when I came home I would faint just the same end had the same pains. A friend who ia a nurse said for me to try Lydia E.Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I began taking it that very day for I was suffering a great deal. It has already done me more good than tha hospital.

reviee and Isabel Ostrander "Of course, Mr. Hamilton, I realize the situation fully. I am glad to have had this opportunity to explain to you how the matter stood as far as I personally was concerned. You know I will do 'anything that I can for Miss Lawton and I trust that you will call upon me." He rose with ponderous significance as if to state tacitly that the interview was at an end, but the younger man did not stir from bis chair. "This letter came to you when did you say, Mr. Mallowe?" "When Pennington Lawton and his daughter were at The Breakers at Long Bay, about two years ago last August, as nearly as I can remember." "If you still had the envelope, we could obtain the exact date from the postmark," Ramon suggested significjuice, two of , Worcestershire savesv one of . tomato catsup, and . one. of horseradish and one teaspoon of salt, a few drops of tobasoo end' onion Juice, Serve ice cokL A .drop or two of onion jnice adds much to the sauce, if just enough is used to gtre that elusive flavor which leaves s doubt, in one's -mind as to whethei it can really be onion.

"Now, Old Man Crow never works, yet he is always fat and slick looking, and I have heard it whispered that he never bothers to ask for anything he wants, but helps himself. "I have heard that his pantry is always filled with pies and cakes and puddings and jelly and honey and chicken pie and roast duck, and " "Stop! stop!" cried Mr. Coon, covering both ears with his paws, "have a little pity, Mr. Possum, for my poor empty stomach." "I have pity for your empty stomach and mine, too," said Mr. Possum, "that Is why I am telling you about Old Man Crow and his well-filled pantry. Now, if it is all true about the way he gets his living, and I have no reason in the world to doubt it, Mr. Coon,-none in the world, then we should be perfectly justified in visiting Old Man Crow and getting some of those things he keeps on his pantry shelf." "That sounds good to me," said Mr. Coon, "but suppose he does not invite us to dinner?" "Did I say anything about his inviting us?" said Mr. Possum. "I did not for I know right well he will do no such thing: so Ave will try another scheme which I will tell to you if you will come in the woods a little way from this' path. Mr. Fox, someone might wander along and want to join the party, and while sometimes the saying, the more the merrier, is true, this time it would not be, because the more we have in the party the less there will be for us." Mr. Coon said he understood perfectly what Mr. Possum meant, and ZQrX.?? ' on a. uoo XfciX. BUSHES. they sat down on a log hidden by the bushes, while Mr. Possum told his plan. "Wo will wait until Mr. Crow is taking his noonday nap," said Mr. Tossum, "and then we will , make sure the pantry Is full before we begin action." V. "What in the world is that?" asked Mr. Coon. "I never heard of beginning anything with action; what is it like?" "I mean, before we begin to get the good things in Old Man Crow's pantry we want to be sure they are there," explained Mr. Possum. "Of course, we want to be sure of that," said Mr. Coon, "but that is finfl-

antly. "The letter I see is only headed Saturday." "Yes, It is unfortunated that I did not keep It," the magnate retorted a little drily. !'It was by the merest most fortunate chance that the letter itself came to light. However, I cannot see at this late date what difference It could possibly make when the letter was mailed, since it establishes beyond any possibility of doubt that it was mailed. As to the matter of the negotiation of the loan I would prefer that you apply to Mr- Moore himself for the particulars concerning It. I am sure that he will be quite as glad as I have been to give you such definite information as he possesses." . This time the dismissal could not be ignored, and Ramon Hamilton took his departure, but not before he had marked well the particular drawer within the safe from which .the, letter had been taken. As he went down the ' corridor, a saucy, red-cheeked young woman with business briskness in her manner came from an inner office and smiled boldly at him. She was .Loretta Murfee, the new filing clerk who had been installed only that morning in Mr. Mallowe's office. Had Ramon known her to be the protegee of Anita Lawton and the spy of Henry Blaine, he might have glanced at her a second time. The young man proceeded straight to the offices of Charlton Moore, the banker, and found that an interview was readily granted him. Mr. Moore remembered the incident of the loan, and his private accounts showed that it had been made on the sixteenth of August two years previously. "Mr. Mallowe arranged the matter with you for Mr. Lawton, did he not?" Ramon asked. (Continued.) With the Reel People COLISEUM.

"I just kept it for a souvenir." "A what?" asked Mr. Possum. "A souvenir," said Mr. Coon, smiling to think he had one on Mr. Possum. "Never heard of it," said Mr. Possum, shaking his head. "We will put it with your action," sair Mr. Coon, "and talk it over later. What are you going to do with the gun?" "Oh, I will show you," said Mr. Possum.

OUT OF THE DESPISED OFTEN DEVELOPS

BY EVOLUTION THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING

A A TTT

EDGAR ILIFF SEES THIS TRUTH IN FLOWERS

Ey EDGAR ILIFF. I notice in my garden that the most useless things are the hardest to get rid of and the beautiful the easiest to lose. The dandelion spreads like a green bay "tree and plunges its roots like a driven well toward the center of this planet I dug up one this morning. Its one root, shaped like a carrot, was two feet long. . You have to fight burdock, wild parsnips and dandelions continually. Eternal vigilance is the price of a clean garden. When you think your lawn is at least cleared of weeds, up they come in one night, the golden dandelion spreading a carpet over the place and the flowers fairly laughing at you and nodding to one another in merriment. Beautiful Things Die. And while noxious and useless weeds defy you, the most beautiful flowers of your garden sicken and die from unaccountable causes. A little drop in the temperature, a little too much sun or a little too much shade or a few pestiferous bugs, and all your favorites perish. And as you sadly view the ruin ycu think of Moore's words: "I never loved a tree or flower . But 'twa6 the first to fade away." Or you think: "And the heart that is soonest awake to the flowers Is always the first to be touched by the thorns." But hail, blizzards, simoons and typhoons, clay soil and granite rocks cannot prevail against the unnecessary and ugly in plant life. See, How the Onion Grows. Talk about immortality! The onion is-the-proper emblem of immortality. There is no death for the onion; what seem3 so is but transition. I saw onions growing all last winter in the open frozen garden and I found one flourishing on our pantry shelf without a speck of soil. Did you ever hear anybody croak about the onion, the burdock, the rhubarb or the dandelion crop being winter killed? Bees freeze out but flies never. Is it not so with the species called "human nature?" How many centuries have struggled to rid this world of evil! Religions, educations, governments, armies, police, violence, wars, persecutions, jails, gibbets, thrones, pulpits, thumbscrews, tortures, chains , dungeons, have all striven in vain. Evil still stalks about; it thrives in any soil; grows in sunlight or in shadow; in hovel or palace; on desert sands or among the richest flowers; amid ignorance or knowledge; under slavery or liberty. There is no environment that can destroy it. It leaps the bounds of every barrier erected by man. It baffles every effort of human hope or human ingenuity. Thus government itself is a necessary evil. Why Does Evil Prevail? Marcus Aurelius, the best and wisest of ancient rulers, had a son who was disgustingly vile and degenerate. Can it be true that the worst things in life take' the deepest root, and the best and noblest are ephemeral? Do the virtues of good men and women die with them? Was Shakespeare right when he made Marc Antony say, "the evil that men do lives after them; the good is often interred with their bones?" It does seem that the good that men do takes scant root like the cactus plants on the dry plains. It seems that way; yet all good influences are silent and unseen, like underground rivers, and men do not bring to the world what memories of good mothers have sustained them in affliction or strengthened them in dire temptations. Defends Poor Dandelion. But I am inclined to defend the poor hunted dandelion. It has spread an unusually brilliant yellow carpet over our lawns and fields this spring. The flowers were smiling on the bleak and raw days of April. It makes good greens to eat when the stomach is satiated with winter's heavy foods. It has rare medicinal qualities. It can be made into wine that rivals the Rhine wines and can scarcely -be distinguished from the genuine. The word dandelion means "lion's tooth," because the leaves are jugged like the beast's fangs. It is susceptible to culture, and perhaps if as much attention was given it as has been bestowed upon the chrysanthemum a beautiful flower might be produced. See what has been done for the poor old despised Jimson. The deepthroated, pure white cultivated flowers and luscious fruits came from hard, juiceless, wild things, as un out of $ by making bread at hom A 24 lb. sack of Valier Enterprise Flour will mak 40 good sized Joavesmor than $2 worth of bread $1 worth of flour.

promising as the hoodlum boys and girls in the slums. How Lowell Puts It. Lowell beautifully expresses this idea in his twenty-fifth sonnet: "To win the secret of a plain weed's heart . Reveals some clew to spiritual things." . The dandelion has no literature, while the primrose, daisy, and daffodil are on the lips cf every poet. If to win the secret of a plain weed's heart is to reveal some clew to spiritual things, what revelation of things noble and good must come to those who win the secret of a neglected child's heart, or the secret of the soul of human flotsam and jetsam all around us. .

i Her fellow saleswomen were only Impatient, and more than once called down upon themselves the reprimand of the floor walker, who was not In a forebearlng mood himself. It was half an hour before closing time. Julia bad just noted this with an inward prayer of thanksgiving and had then turned to straighten out once more the stock of laces which a pretended purchaser had handled and tumbled. The floor walker approached and stood watching her for a moment before breaking the silence. "It's been a trying day, hasn't it?" he asked affably at last. "Rather trying," Julia admitted, smiling wanly. "Oh, by the way," he continued, with an elaborately casual manner, "when you come in tomorrow . morning will you remember that the manager would like to see you as soon as he gets to his office?" The girl's heart missed a beat and she felt herself grow pale. "Is there any trouble?" she asked unsteadily. The man laughed. "None for you. at any rate." he assured her. "But there is going to be a shake-up in this department, though I wouldn't let that worry me if I were you. In fact, unless I am mistaken, the result will benefit you. If you will go to Mr. Eorland's office on the eighth floor at about nine-thirty tomorrew he will be able to tell you more thaa I can." He nodded to her and walked away, and Julia, somewhat cheered and not a little excited by this indefinite good news, went on with her arrangement of the 6tock. , At ten minutes past six she stepped out of the sultriness of the 6tore into the hot roar of the street and made her way slowly uptown. In spite of the thought of what the morrow might hold for her In the way of advancement she felt depressed. The noise and heat of the streets offered no respite from the bustle and humidity of Eaird's. The people who passed her locked dirty and uncomfortable. The rattle of the cars seemed louder than usual. Even the pavements looked hot and there was the reek of warm asphalt In the air. As she plodded on uptown against the current of workers ' from the Twenties, sweeping down toward their homes on the lower East Side, she mused of how pleasant it must be to THIEF STEALS CHURCH LAMP. .
