' THE LAST LETITIA . By JEAN FOSTER “Not that the old thing's worth much,” Aunt Letitia added hastily. “But I must say I love it, and being’s as you’re my god-child, Letty, you’ve got a right to it.” 4 \ Letty laughed, and tried to settle her pretty head more comfortably into the style goose-girl bonnet she had just bought in town. It was a most, becoming bonnet, with its soft double rtiffle of lace and silk framing Letty’s brown curls, and young face, and Its close-fitting, coquettish crown. “Why, I don’t want it, Auntie,” she said positively. “Where would Jack and I put the old desk? It’s so big and clumsy, and we’re only taking a ttve-room apartment to start housekeeping with. What is it—mahogmy?” “No, answered Aunt Letitia, cheerfullyr “It’s cherry, I guess. They used cherry a good deal back up country when great-grandfather was a boy. He made it himself, Letty. I always heard grandmother tell what a natural born cabinet maker he was.’-* Letty said no more. There Was nothing to say. But she made up her mind that just as soon as she was married, and that old desk had made its appearance in Manhattan, via New [>e.von, Vermont, she would sell it to «che ( first second-ha£d man who could appreciate cherry. ' , It arrived the first week after the wedding. They studied it together, Jack and Letitia, v hen he came home at night? It stood in the little front room of the five-room apartment, and completely took away the effect of Letty’s new three-piece mission set, jookcase and new’ rug. It was just' in old-fashioned cherry desk,- with a bookcase that nearly reached to the ceiling, and a roll top, and drawers on sdch side. “We mustn’t sell it, sweetheart,” Jack exclaimed positively. “If you can’t find any other corner, stick it in my den. I wouldn't hurt the old lady’s feelings by selling it, don’t you know?” And again Letty said nothing. It was one of her very’ wisest characteristics, the gift of being able to hold tier peace, and not argue when she saw which way the wind was blowing. The desk was moved into Jack’s den, .he little front bedroom that had been turned into his sanctum. It took up nearly all one side of the wall space, and the Morris chair had to come out into the dining-room, but still Letty said nothing. » ■ It was in early summer when the first streak of 111 luck came to the honeymoon apartment. Jack had his ankle crushed in an elevator down town, and was at home for weeks. When he was on his feet' and fit again, he found his substitute had stepped into his shoes. He was an architect by profession, but a very young one, and the spring rush was already over in the building line. There came a day in July When the last five had been drawn from the bank, and the rent was due, and the gas bill, and the ice bill, and the telephone bill, and all the other interesting bills. “I’ll get the Duncan job the first of August, all right," Jack said, as he lay stretched out on the Morris chair. “He’s accepted my plans, and even if it is only a small two family place, it’s ready money, pet, don’t you know?” “We need ready money now,” Letty responded, smiling bravely. “I wish I could help out.’ “I suppose Aunt Letty would let us come out and stay on the farm during July, if we asked her,” Jack went on, but at his first word, Letty forgot all else. That was the solution, of course. She would sell the antique desk at once. “I’m going out, dear, for just a little while,” she told Jack. “Business, I suppose?” he asked, with mock Severity, when she leaned over to kiss him. And Letty said nothing. But she brought back the dealer in intiques w’ith her. She knew where to find him by telephone. Had she not looked in every antique shop she came to, ever since they had moved to New York, trying to find out the Value of an old cherry desk that had been made before, Washington even cut down his famous tree. “Please don’t scold her, dear, please,” she whispered, as she went by the Morris chair, after confronting the old German dealer with the desk. “We need the money so, and it really Is a genuine antique, you know.” And they both had to .laugh, in sheer desperation. So many times, they had excused all other deficiencies in the old desk by assuring themselves it was a genuine antique. “It is over one hundred and seventy years old,” said Letty. “Made by my great-great-great grandfather,” Jack put in. “You can see ■ the date and his initials carved in the wood on the back, it’s all hand carved, and put together by hand. There isn’t a nail in it.” “Yes, there are*- hand made ones, down at the back,” Letty helped out with. "See all this Inlaid work, too, on top of the roll top. Isn’t it in fine condition?” "Very fine. These side panels are not cherry. They are butternut” The old man tapped on them with his pencil like a wood-pecker at a tree trunk. “They are old and seasoned like a violia. You see lam not

I a good buyer. lam a lover of beautiful old things. I aiu no business man, yet people who love them also, come to me to buy because they know I am a good picker a" fl chooser. I will give you ten dollars for the desk, and it is a generous price too.’ Ten dollars. Jack whistled, and grinned. Letty said nothing. She had expected at least fifty, and possibly more. Had she not priced old desks like this, and been asked anywhere from one hundred to five hund r «d for ante-Revolutionary furniture? “But —but it’s an antique— ” sbe began. “It is not perfect.” He leaned over, and touched the two carved partitions between the side pigeon holes on each side. “See. These are loose. It must be repaired—” He stopped short. Instead of a single, slender strip of wood, the carved partition slid out in his hand,' a long, thin, oblong envelope of wood. Letty reached for the one on the right hand side, and drew that out also. “Oh, oh, Jack, look here,” she exclaimed. “It has secret hiding places.” “I will give you twenty-five dollars for it,” put in the dealer. “No, you won’t,” cried Jack. “It’s not for sale.” “I will sell it sot you on commission, then,” the old fellow protested, but Jack stuck to his word. A mistake had been made, he said. <, The old desk was of inestimable value to them. They could not part with it at any cost. When the hall door closed, he went back to w’here Letty saton the floor beside the desk, the two queer carved envelopes of wood bn her lap. And there yere tears in her eyes, as she smiled up at him. “How many thousands did you ■ find?” Jack laughed, bending over to' kiss her brown hair. “Or is if the deed to my ancestral home? Am I a patroon, with a grant on the Hudson from King George, or have I a manor right on the sound from Jimmie the Second?” “Jack, dearest, it isn’t anything like that at all,” said Letty solemnly. “And yet it is a treasure trove I would not part with for the world. I h k J n —F“ —- I I |TH 111 liji G Me cfasA . We’ll go to Aunt Letty’s until you get the Duncan work to do, and we’ll keep the desk forever. Look here.” Together they bent over the things j that Letty had taken from the secret hiding places. First there Was a quaint old wig, bald in front, curly behind, and tied in a little pigtail with a black ribbon. Inside on a slip of yellowed paper was written, “Grandfather Farwell’s wig. 1722.” “And here’s the deed to Aunt Letty’s place, Jack,” Letty exclaimed, eagerly. “She’s been fighting to keep it in the family for ten years, she told me, ever since your grandfather died. . Don’t’ you see what it means? Here is the original deed, written on parchment, too. It feels so silky and i crackly, doesn’t it? And in this slide, ' --there’s an old bill boot. I haven’t j looked through it yet.” “Here are some pressed roses,j Jack,” Letty interrupted, “and a lit- ’ tie knit - sock, and two letters from I Devonshire, England. See what it ; says, ‘Dear, dear child Letitia. Your | father and myself wait anxiously fori news of ygntr safe arrival in the new | land.’ One side must have been his, and this side hers. What treasures of the heart they are.” “They’re more than that, pet,” answered Jack, sturdily, as he raised his head. “The railrqad has been trying to grab the Farwell estate for 50 years. It fought father’s claim, and his father's and now it has been worrying Aunt Letty for ten years, and trying to take it from her. I think this will about settle the fight. We’ll write and relieve her mind." “Let’s go right up to New Devon, anti break the news ourselves,” Letty pleaded, her face bright with happiness. The next day they told Aunt Letty, standing on the side porch at the beautiful old Farwell home, that overlooked the hill ranges for miles. She listened smilingly, and stroked the queer old crumpled wig with her hand, until Jack had quite finished. Then she said: “You dear children, rm not an Indian giver—give you a thing, take a thing, you know what the children say. I gave you the desk for a wedding present, didn’t I? And I think it’s a real sign from Providence that the deed was in it. Jack, you're the last male on the Farwell side in direct descent, and I think you had better come back home, and bring the desk with you.” “Because we must keep a Letitia in the family, eh, auntie?” laughed Jack. Letty said nothing.

"I would like to look at some household goods,” said the tall brunette as she entered the big furniture shop. “You see, I expect to be married soon.”, “Ah, indeed,” said the polite clerk; “just step this,way. We have special Inducements for young couples starting in housekeeping. When is the glad event to come off?” “Well —er —the day hasn’t been settled yet.” “Oh, I see; the lucky man has just proposed, and —” “No, he hasn’t proposed yet, but —•” “Ah, he is going to propose. How has ha been calling?” “Well, he hasn’t started calling yet, but—” “What is the young man’s name?” “Really, I don’t know at present, but mamma says she thinks some nice foung man will start calling soon, so [ wanted to be in time.” < — "Manna.” In describing the daily life of a certain distinguished citizen of the republic a writer gives, byway of contrast, the story that follows: This calls to mind the English humorous writer who sketched out his daily program as follows: Rise at noon; breakfast at one; a stroll to the club; attention to mail; some afternoon calls; a ride in the park; dinner; a round of evening parties, and then to bed.” “But when do you do your literary work?” he was asked. “Why, the next day of course,” was the reply.—Review of Reviews.

COAT OF ARMS WAS WANTED Englishman Assisted Out of Dilemma by Official of Heralds’ College— His One Achievement. An Englishman applied to the Heralds’ college for a coat of arms. In such a case it is pleasant to be able to borrow one from a celebrated ancestor. The man in question could not remember anything about his great-grandparents, and therefore, could not mention any achievement by them which could be used as the basis of a coat of arms. But the official to whom he applied was not easily discouraged. “Have you not done something yourself?” he asked. “Nothing, I fear,” said the man, adding as a pathetic antithesis that once, having been locked in Ludgate prison for debt, he had found means i to escape from an upper window. “And how did you get down?" “I got a cord, fixed it around the neck of King Lud’s statue, *ud let i myself down.” “Just the thing.

HAVE YOU SUSPECTED YOUR KIDNEYS?

There are two ways to tell whether you I have weak kidneys. The first is through the pains in the back and other outward signs. The second is by examination of the kidney secretions. That is why physicians make such a careful examination when you apply for insurance, and if there is any sign of kidney trouble you are surely rejected. Kidney disease is so dangerous that it is a bad mistake to overlook or neglect it, and if pain in the back, recurring headaches, or a fretful, nervous, tired condition makes you suspect some kidney trouble, take the trouble to watch the kidney secretions. Look for any of the following signs: More or less than three and one half Slnts passed daily. Too dark or too pale a color. Passages too frequent,profuse, or much deduced, or scalding and painful. Sandy, gritty or cloudy settlings. Fat or oily-looking layer which gathers on the surface when allowed to stand, or a jelly-like thickening. Staining of the linen or bad odor. j Temporary changes may occur for a time from things eaten, but if the changed appearance continues, your kidneys are out of order and need help. Neglect may prove serious. - j Doan’s Kidney Pills correct and regu- ! late the kidney secretions, stimulate and : heal sick kidneys, and thereby drive away , backache, rheumatic pain, nervousness, diz-
