said it was hip disease and that it was

l During the next winter and spring he
Qbecame rapidly worse. We took Jimmie

At this time the affliction became so
1 severe that we could not move him with-

; came reduced in weight to 30 pounds, and
l was but a shadow of his former self. We
had about given up hope when we read of
a cure by Hood’s Sarsaparilla of a similar
case. We resolved to try this medicine.
Jimmie was decidedly improved after
taking the first bottle. He was even

over a dozen bottles of the medicine, and
the change has exceeded our expectations.

_.—.,._.
“What!” _ ,
The astonishment in the word was
simply indescribable, as Harry Mc-
Dougall dropped his paper and regard-
ed his cousin in dignified amazement.
A-prettier cousin than usual she was
just then, her blue eyes and pink
cheeks a little bluer and pinker, as
she viewed her surprised relative, who
soon found voice to remonstrate:
“Do you mean to say that you, whose
sole ambition should be the enhancing
of woman’s chief virtue, retiring mod-
mill as bookkeeper? If so, you are either
very ignorant of what Would be ex:
pected of you in that capacity or you
are forgetting What is due your own
womanhood. Henrietta McDougall, I
am ashamed of you!”
The subject of this tirade merely
gave her decided chin a. little lift, and
made answer: ' .
“You need not flatter yourself that
you are going to extinguish me with
your heroics, Harry, for I most cer-
tainly do intend to go into an office
even if the shock should prove serious
to your conservative organization. As
you refuse my offer, I shall take a. posi-
tion with the Big Salt Lumber com-
pany; but I thought it would be pleas-
ant to work with you.”
The young man cleared his throat
two or three times before he found
voice for expo‘stulation.
“But. Henrietta, it is not a woman’s
place. Contact with men in business
life disarms woman of her best weapon,
and withal .her greatest charm. She
wrecks her own matrimonial chances;
for, you see, when men marry, they do
not choose the girls who have thrust
themselves forward, but tie for life to
the home girl. Then, too,” continued
he, with a touch of pomposity,
“woman’s brain is of such different
caliber that she is never a' success in
the business world. While 1 esteem
you very highly as a friend and cousin,
I could not give you - a place in my
office. I must have the broader out-
look of a man, and do not feel that I
could trust any woman with such a
responsible position as that held by my
bookkeeper.”
'This time there was no mistaking the
real indignation in the gii i’s face and
voice. ,
“Harry, I should be very angry with
your insinuations, but I really only
pity one‘who holds such warped views.
1 want you to understand that girls
nowadays are not compelled to go
about on tiptoe and with bated breath
for fear of spoiling their matrimonial
chances. Talk about trustworthiness!
Who absconds with the employer’s
money? Not the woman. Talk about
the ‘broader outlook!” Wait until your
cross-eyed bookkeeper goes to South
America with the contents of your
safe; and you will wish you had one of
the untrustworthy women in his place.”
“Don't let us quarrel, my dear,”
patronized Harry, "for I did not wish
to offend you. 1 was shocked that you,
so young. so pretty, wished to do man’s
work.”
“It is not man’s work, Harry,” said
the girl, quickly. “\Vork is classified
according to its excellence, and not
the sex of the worker. But there is no
use in arguing with you,” turning to
leave the room. “On second thought,”
and she paused on the threshold, “let
me predict that you will fall hopelessly
in love with one of this very class of
women, marry her, and become a
thorough convert to the idea of women
in business.” ,
“Marry a creature of that stamp?
Not until I become an imbecile.- I
shall marry for a. companion; a woman
who will know her sphere and keep it.”
Harry McDougall was not at heart
an intolerant man, but his whole life
environment had been conservative in
the highest degree.
His residence in the west had been
but short, and he was daily surprised
at the freedom accorded women about
him. He marveled at the unconscious-
ness with which business men accepted
into their precincts the entrance of
business women, and abhorred,
through ignorance of the thought of
the times, their “intrusion,” as he
called it. 1
But a few months before young Mc-
Dougall had come to Kansas from
Connecticut to take charge of a flour-
ing mill lately purchased by his father,
a. property situated in a small town
some thirty miles west of Elliston,
Henrietta’s home.
The business was prospering, and
prosperity does not make an intolerant
man tolerant; so upon his visits to El-
liston his altorc .tions with Henrietta
had become more spirited, culminating
in the application by the girl for posi-
tion as bookkeeper in his mill, and his
pompous refusal of it.
The next morning, before breakfast,
a telegram informed Harry that his
father had been the victim of an acci-
dent in the old mill at home, and de-
sired the immediate presence of his
son. He had barely time to write in-
structions to his bookkeeper, placing
necessary funds at his disposal, before
the next train for the east.
“What a pity you did not accept my
offer of -yesterday,” said Henrietta,
jokingly, as they stood beside the
waiting train. "Just think how well
I could have taken care of your inter-
ests during your absence.” '
“Poufl” ejaculated Harry, with ex-
aggerated contempt._ “When 1 want
a shortage in my accounts, I will em-
ploy women to manage my affairs.”
And he swung himself aboard in
time to escape his cousin’s just wrath.
But no sooner had be taken up the
, familiar duties at home than the dis-
tracting news came from the west that
his trusted bookkeeper (Henrietta’s
detestation), had left suddenly, with
the contents of the safe.
The young man’s state of mind can
be imagined. His father was not yet
out of danger, and, even had he been,
the business required him to stay in
the east.

be filled. It meant ruin for him.
After several days of distracted writ-
ing and telegraphing, he received a
letter from Ellist-on, which ran:
“MB. HENRY MCDOUGALL—Dear Sir: I
have visited your mill. ._ looked over the
premises. examined the books, and, if satis-

"Very truly yours, D. P..BOARDMAN."
) His first/sense was one of relief, fol-
-David Board-
man was senior member of the firm
owning one of the largest mills in
Elliston, and his check could be drawn
for a larger amount than that of any
other man in the city. What could he
want, Harry asked himself, with an
interest in a mill in a little country
town, where such a financial disaster
had occurred as had happened to his
own business?
But the letter was evidently in good
. faith, and Harry telegraphed his ac-
ceptance immediately, knowing that a
partnership with Mr. Boardman would
insure his future.
Three months later Harry alighted
from the train at his western home.
In the intervening time his partner
had not only made up the loss the busi-
ness had sustained, but had brought
profits higher than ever before. Mr.
Boardman had remained constantly on
the ground, however, but had signified
his intention of returning to Elliston
as soon as Harry returned. ’
A farmer drove past Harry, as he
walked to the mill. He could not stop
his loaded wagon on the river bank,
but he called out cheerily:
“Glad ter see yer back, Mr. McDon-
gal. Mighty fine partner 0’ yours in
thar!”
With a light heart, Harry pushed
open the office door, then stopped,
aghast! He saw, busily writing at the
desk, not the bent form of David
Boardman, but a young lady. For a
moment he stood staring at the trimly-
attired figure and sleek, dark head
Then a low, yet decisive voice said:
“Were there any letters for us to-
night, J ohn?”
"Before Harry could frame a reply,
the young woman, turning, met his
gaze. She rose and advanced, a trifle
of color coming to her cheek, yet her
demeanor cool and unrufiied,and asked:
“I beg your pardon, sir. I thought
it was the janitor. Is there anything
I can do for you?”
Harry pulled himself together and
replied:
“I should like to see Mr. Boardman.”
The girl looked puzzled for a mo-
ment, then answered: .
“I fear you have made a mistake.
Mr. Boardman lives in Elliston, the
next town east.”
“I certainly can have made no mis-
take,” returned Harry, decidedly. “l
have letters in my pocket dated at this
place, and settling the details of a.
transaction by which he becomes part
owner of this property.”
“Mr. Boardman certainly has no in-
terest here,” stated his informant. “I
am Miss Boardman, and have bought
half this mill, which I am managing
until Mr. McDougall arrives from the
east.” '
For an instant Harry felt as though
he were on a toboggan slope several
miles long, not knowing where the end
might be; but he pulled himself to-
gether and handed the lady one of his
cards.
‘At sight of the piece of pasteboard
the young lady looked wonderstruck,
and again flushed a trifle. Then she
looked up, and ventured:
“And you thought—”
“Yes. I thought so,” he answered,
comprehensively. “But I am so be-'
Wildered now that I am past all think-
ing. Will you please explain some
things that I cannot understand?”
Within a few moments Harry dis-
covered that instead of selling an in-
terest in his mill to Mr. David P. Board-
man, he had delivered it over to a
Philistine in the person of Dor-
othy P. Boardman, the aforesaid
gentleman’s niece and junior partner,
that she, having extra funds on her
hands, and hearing of McDougall’s
trouble. had felt sorry for him, inves-
tigated, found that the investment

‘ She had not intended to deceive him,-
but had merely signed her name as
she was in the habit of doing in her
business relations, without dreaming
of being confused with her uncle, not
taking into account Harry’s short resi-
dence in the state.
It was astonishing to see how readi-
ly the young man reconciled himself
to having for a. partner this young,
eyes and quiet voice.
Miss Boardman went back to Ellis-
ton at once, and Harry took up his
work alone. His bookkeeper was
never found, perhaps because the
amount of his embezzlement was not
large enough 'to make much stir, but
Henrietta said it was because of his
‘q‘broader outlook.”
That young lady also made frequent
remarks about the number of times
that Harry found it necessary to seek
his partner’s advice, and her triumph
was complete when, a few months
after the first partnership was con-
summated, Dorothy Boardman, upon
much persuasion, consented to enter
into another partnership with the
house of McDougall, the papers to be
made out for life.
All this was five years ago. Now
the little country station threatens to
be quite a town, and Harry’s prosperi-
ty has grown along with it. He gives
his wife credit for his prosperity, as
for his happiness, and has come to
glory in having married one of the
class once so obnoxious to him.
David Boardman McDougall, aged
three, is, in spite of his long name,
quite the most intelligent child in ex-
istence, so his parents aver, and Hen-
rietta McDougall is head bookkeeper
in her cousin’s mill, having come to
see the working out not only of her
hopes but of her prophecy—N. Y.

ON MY LADY’S .SILVER TABLE.
Venice and northern Italy are inex-
haustible fields for the hunter of silver
curios. Filigree silver work made into
necklaces, pipes and toys is very beauti-
ful.
The most highly prized silver toys
come from far India. Those fortunate
women who have been to that country
bring back a collection of heathen idols,
boats, lamps, statuet-tes of girls and
women, solid silver anklets and nose
and ear rings.
The first thing on the table mustbe a
silver lamp, preferably a Roman or
Grecian antique. Candlesticks are not
admitted unless they are very tiny.
Photograph frames of rich repousse
work are allowed, but the pictures they
contain must be very handsome.
Little silver sofas, chairs, mirrors,
windmills and What-not may be grouped
together on one corner of the table;
richly embossed silver boxes some-
times big enough to hold cigarettes
stand near, a miniature Russian sleigh
with tassels and laprobes and a driver
scarcely discernible holding the reins
over horses not larger than mosquitoes
is another coveted curio.
