RQSS in Cleveland Plain Dealer J S The affairs of Ramsey Halo were In very bad shape. An unexpected financial disaster bad shaken the old merchant's confidence In himself. He realized, .too, that he was carrying a load that a man ot his years shouldn't attempt to shoulder alone. Things went from bad to worse. Ramsey kept his own counsel as be )cept his books. He felt that there was no one about him that he could trust with the story of his troubles. fX home there was no one save his daughter Ruth. And she was only a girl. And then the continued worry brought a natural result. The mer chant collapsed at his desk one warm afternoon and was carried home. He had fought them when they tried to take him away. He had moaned and wrung his hands when be was put to bed. , "Ruth," he had wildly called. She was by his side, bending over blm, but he didn't know her. A blessed unconsciousness came npon him and when he awoke the next morning ha was like a little child. It may be months before he Is himself again," said the old doctor. "Perhaps his memory will never come back. He worked his brain beyond the limit. Some great trouble must bave possessed him. Have you any Idea what It was?" "He never confided In me," said the girl, sadly. "There was a side of my father that I never saw. When be crossed the threshold of home he seemed to put away all his cares but lately I have noticed that he brooded at times and that he would forget that I was near him." "His mind Is resting now," said the old doctor. "We can only hope that It will awaken refreshed and clear although he can never be the clever man of business he once was." "Poor father," murmured the girl. "One moment, Dr. Addison. If the trouble that has worried my father relates to business, wouldn't it be well to keep his true condition as Quiet as possible until I can find out something concerning his affairs?" "An excellent thought," said the doctor. "Perhaps you'd better con sult one of your father's old friends a lawyer preferably." "Not yet," replied the girl. "I want first to see what I can discover alone." The old doctor losked at her and nodded. Then he put out his hand and took the girl's. "You're a fine young woman," he aid. The girl had found in her father's breast pocket a sealed letter with her name on the envelope. When the doctor had gone she broke the seal and read the letter slowly. "My dear daughter," it began: "I am writing this because I fear that some emergency may suddenly con front you. My business affairs are much involved and I seem to have lost .the power to straighten them Dut. There are a dozen creditors who may at any moment precipitate a crash, but there is only one I really fear. That is the house of John Nel son & Son, to whom I owe $65,000. The firm is hard and unyielding. I iwlll not give you any technical de tails, but if anything happens to me go to my old friend, Judge Henry 'Allerton, and ask him to take charge cf everything. I want the creditors satisfied, although this will leave you very little, my dear. There will be Borne Insurance, and I know that your Aunt Edgerton in Denver will gladly give you a home. Be a brave girl, my daughter, and .try to think that I always meant to do for the best. Your unhappy father." The girl wiped her eyes and put the letter back in Its envelope. "Poor daddy." she murmured, why didn't he confide In me? Am I o worthless, so unreliable?" She arose quickly and went to her father's room and consulted the burse. There was no change and no probability of any. Then the girl told the housekeeper not to expect her home until dlvner. A half hour later she was seated at ber father's desk in the dingy loom where he had "spent so many years. tVlth her was the old bookkeepsr of the house. "You are my father's friend, Mr. Trlssel?" "Yes, miss. I have been with him thirty years." "He Is ill. He may not be In his office again for several days." "I am very sorry, miss. Is there anything I can do?" "How much do you know ot my father's affairs, Mr. Trlssel ?" "He was very close mouthed, miss." "I want you to help me, Mr. Trls sel, in straightening out' my father's Papers.? "I hope I can help you, miss." Two days' steady work convinced the girl that she needed expert help. The old bookkeeper was a man of routine and very slow. The girl ad vertised tor a skilled accountant. When she reached the office the next morning a young man was wait ing In the anteroom. He bowed as she paused and looked at him. He as a keen eyed young man of per haps thirty. "I wish to see Mr. Hale," he ex plained. It Is Miss Hale you w!h to see," she told him. "Step Into uy office." He followed her wonderlngly. She pointed to a chair. "The position I bave to offer Is a uoaentiai one," she auld. "My fa ther, Ramsey, Hale, has been stricken down by an acute attack that entirely Jjnnts him for work. I am doing my best to straighten out bis business, but find that I need expert help. It Is wo8ary 10 know Just how his at uira stand ss soon as possible. Will uu undertake this work?" He hesitated. Then he nodded.' Yeg," he answered, ! will under- it. Do you wish references?" na looked at blm car ft wily, No," she replied, "I am sure I can tniBt you." I will begin at once," he said, and stepped forward. All that day he was comparing. checking, verifying. There were other applicants for the expert's position, but Ruth Hale was glad this very earnest young man had been the first to apply. At 6.80 he approached Ruth's desk. "We have made a good beginning " he said. "Do you wish me to con tinue the work?" Yes," replied Ruth, a littln haatlly than she intended. Then she suddenly smiled. " You see that I am only an apprentice In business. I haven't even asked your name." He hesitated slightly. "Richard Grant," he replied. "And what what salary have vou been accustomed to receiving?" He smiled. "I have been employed by the year," he replied. "This looks like merely a temporary Job. Anyway, let us wait until the work Is ud. At 8 o'clock to-morrow morning, then. And I hope you will find your father better. " Ruth went home feeling more re lieved than she had for many hours. There was something reassuring about this young man. He was so clever and quick and he was a gentleman. But if he didn't come In the morn ing! He was there, however, and already busy. He greeted her smilingly and went on with his work. The mall was lying on her desk. She opened the letters and found Beveral that were both puzzling and dismaying. Presently she looked around. "Mr. Grant," she said. The young man with his head bent over his pa pers did not lopk up. "Mr. Grant." she called again. He looked up a little startled. "Oh, yes," he said, and came to her. I can't understand some ot these letters," she told him. "May I trou ble you to look them over?" He read the letters carefully and made notes on several. The creditors are worried by the news of your father's Illness," he said. It s a pity they found It out so soon. We must call a meeting and show them the situation. I will get busy on a statement. I think we can meet them day after to-morrow." n ee ee "They will give you time. They all agree to this. You must furnish them weekly statements. They an a good lot ot fellows." "Did did you thank them?" "Oh, yes. And they sent you their kindest regards. We parted in an ex cellent humor." Ruth looked at him gratefully. "Thank you, Mr. Grant," she said. "You have been very kind." "Not at all," he quickly answered. "Am I not engaged as an expert? Be sides, there are John Nelson and his precious son still to humanize. You mustn't forget that they are hard hard and unyielding." "You fill me with anxiety again," she murmured. "I I am afraid I take business .too seriously." He laughed merrily. "Trust me," he said. "I'll contrive to see those human millstones this evening. Don't worry. I know a thing or two about John Nelson that may come in handy If he gets stub born." "Oh, but would that be right?" cried Ruth, her gentle eyes dilating. "Don't worry," Richard Grant re peated. "Just trust me." The next morning he caught the Inquiring gaze. "I got at them last night," he said. "Yes, I made It very clear to John Nelson that It was to his Interest to wait. I showed him what would hap pen If he precipitated matters. I gave him to understand that things were not as bad as reported. And then I told him about you about your anxiety to straighten out your father's affairs, and If necessary give up everything you possess. I think he was touched. It is even possible that he is not as hard and unyielding as your father supposed. Anyway, John Nelson & Son will take the course followed by the other cred itors." The girl's eyes filled with tears. "Why, why," she murmured, "ev erybody Is bo kind, so generous. I can't understand it." "I find," said Richard Grant, after a quick glance at the girl, "that men and women are very apt to prove much better than we may have sup posed them. For Instance," he added, "it was necessary for us to borrow 0-me money. We need a balance at t.ie bank. Our collateral Is not of the best at the present moment. We need $10,000. Where do you sup pose I got it?" She looked at blm halt frightened. "I I can't guess." From John Nelson," John Nelson?" Bhe stammered. "That's right. He didn't hesitate. And let me tell you this when John Nelson loans $10,000 he expects to get It back." "Oh, oh," cried the girl, "now we owe them $75,000!" "Don't worry," laughed Richard Grant. 8 WHY? A PRIZE PUZZLE.

If pampsred Percival Plshmlnce purchased a perfectly pellucid puzzle picture, Why is pampered Percival Plshmlnce now In a padded cell? ee ee ee Ruth looked up at him. "Mr. Grant," she said, "It was my father's wish the last words, he wrote that every creditor of the house should receive what was due him. I mean to sacrifice everything, If necessary home and furniture and all to uphold his good name." There was an admiring quality In the glance that rested .on the girl's earnest face. "That Is what I would have ex pected from your father and your father's daughter," he gravely said. "But we mustn't talk about making sacrifices yet. I'm clearing up the tangle, and I begin to think that af fairs are not nearly as bad as your father Imagined." The girl clasped her hands. "And do you think we can pay all my father's debts?" "Wart, watt." he smilingly cried. "There is nothing assured yet. We are going to do the very beat we can. And we must persuade the creditors to have patience." "And John Nelson & Son they are the biggest creditors of all and father said they would be hard and unyielding. How can we satisfy them?" Richard Grant nodded. "That's a problem," he said. "I don't believe they will care to meet with the smaller creditors. Will you authorize me to see the firm person ally as your representative, and with power to arrange matters?" "Why, yes," she answered. "Very gladly." And he went back to his work. Two days later the meeting of cred itors took place in her father's room, and Ruth waited In the small ante room, her gentle heart filled with anxiety. Richard Grant was with the cred itors, and sometimes she fancied she could hear his clear voice rise above the general murmur. Presently he opened the door. "May I ask you to meet these gen tlemen, Miss Hale?" he asked. Bhe answered him by promptly en tering the room. "Gentlemen." said Richard Grant, "I have asked Miss Hale here in order to have her confirm what I have told you. Miss Hale is doing her best to straighten her father's affairs. She means to carry out bis wishes to the exact letter. Every dollar he pos sesses will be used to pay bis JuBt debts. Not a penny will be reserved. Do I state this correctly. Miss Hale?" "Yon state It correctly," Ruth an swered firmly. "My father's reputa tion must be kept unstained." There was, a brief silence. "That is all. Miss Hale," said Rich ard Grant, and he held the door tor her as she passed out. He reappeared In a few momenta. "They're goue," he said. "And I feel better. Still, they were very rea sonable. It was your appearance that clinched matters." And what was the result ot the nmUaf?" Rutj anxiously asked. And he resumed his work. Richard Grant continued to handle Ramsey Hale's affairs. He had brought business order out of chaos, he had added largely to the earning equipment of the establishment, and he was reducing the claims of the creditors at a very aatlBfactory rate. And every day Ruth was In her place at her father's desk, doing her best to be of service. Nor did the young man fall to remember that she was the head of the house. He de erred .to her wishes, and she left everything to his Judgment. He was the expert accountant and she was only the figurehead as she told her self many times. And .then she thanked the lucky fates that bad brought blm to the threshold in her hour of need. One day he looked up from his papers with a laugn. "Who do you suppose passed by the office a moment or two ago?" he asked. , "I can't guess," Ruth answered. "It was John Nelson," he answered. "I saw him through tne window." "John Nelson! Oh, what do you suppose he wanted?" "From the deliberate way in which be paused and looked through the window, I am quite certain he wanted to see you." "See me?" "Yes. He was very much Interest ed when I told him about you." "But why should he come here?" "It you don't like It, Miss Hale, I wm go out and chase him away." "No, no, Mr. Grant. He has us too much in his power." 1 "I don't think he means any mis chief. I returned his $10,000 loan yesterday." "I wonder," murmured the girl, "why he wanted to see me?" The young man loosed at her curi ously. Then be bent over bis work. The next morning she came Into the office with her face beaming. "What do you think, Mr. Grant?" she cried. "Father is much better. He actually knew me this morning. But he can't talk yet." "I am very glad he's better," said Richard Grant. "Do you expect he will be able to return to business?" "No, no," the girl answered. "As soon as he Is able to travel he Is go ing away." "But you can't be spared from business to .go with him," said the young man tastily. "No," replied the girl. "We will find some one to go with him." "You will have much to tell him when he ts well enough to under stand," said Richard Grant. "Yes," said the girl eagerly. 'I can hardly wait." ' Richard Grant arose and came to her. . "Miss Hale," he said, "there something I fnust tell you." fthe looked up quickly. , '?" - John Nelson ft Son are disposed to be troublesome." "Dear, dear! What can we do?" He drew a quick breath. "John Nelson has made us a hard proposition." "Can can we carry It out?" "That Is for you to say." "Tell me what It is." He hesitated. "John Nelson is willing to compro mise his claim against your father,. He goes beyond this. He Is so well' satisfied with the condition ot affairs that he Is ready to lot his son buy an Interest In the house and pay a con- ulderable sum for it. But he makes a Very hard proposition." "Go on," said Ruth faintly. "John Nelson wants you to marr bis son." She stared at Richard Grant. "Why, I have never seen him!" He faintly smiled. "John Nelson's son Isn't much to look at," he said. "But you bave seen him." "When?" "He came here one morning not knowing that your father had been stricken down to talk over the claim that John Nelson & Son held against Ramsey Hale. While he was waiting a young woman appeared, a young woman who mistook him for some one she expected." The girl stared up at him. "You!" she cried. "Are you John Nelson's son?" "I am Richard Grant Nelson. It was a shameless deception, but I'm glad I practiced It. I have told my father the whole story. He knows I . love you. He will love you, too. What Is your answer, dear?" Her eyes were turned downward. She slowly raided them. "Is this the only way I can satisfy my father's creditor?" she murmured. "Yes, Ruth, dear." Then she put out her hands to him. : BEES AND FLYING : MACHINES. The aerial chauffeur will be the first of a new order of human beings. And all over the country all over the world, Indeed isolated, earnest men are at work studying the flight of birds, seeking to familiarize them selves beforehand, If that be possible, with the Intricate problems that are sure to face them sooner or later. It is, however, open to doubt whether a bird really presents the best example of aerial progression. It was long ago recognized that a wing built up of feathers was too hopeless ly complicated for any attempt at mechanical Imitation; and probably the flight ot a bird, with the many principles It Involves, and Its be wildering series ot eccentric move ments, Is equally outside the pale ot effective human observation. A much more simple, and Just as perfect, Il lustration of flight would seem to be everywhere available In that ot the honey-bee and similar Insects. In the combination of the fixed, in clined aeroplane, the petrol-driven fan-wheel, and the rudder acting both vertically and horizontally, aeronauts no doubt possess the rudiments ot a practicable flying machine; and ex periment on these lines has, as every one knows, already resulted In a measure of success. But an hour's careful watching near a beehive can not fall to bring home to the observer the conviction that the honey-bee flies on a far more simple plan; and it is for .the experts to say whether a close study ot this would not lead to a revo lution in all Ideas, as at present ac cepted, concerning the problem of human flight. Pall Mall Gazette. Defines Meal Family. ' Rev. D. D. Vaughn, of the Hal tead Street Institutional Church, Chicago, who, by a scries of heart-to-heart questions with his congrega tion, has learned what the "Ideal" husband and wife should be, has now Jlscovered through the same souroes what constitutes an "ideal" family. To his questions along this line which he submitted he received more than 100 answers. Boiled down to opin ions of the majority, they are: The wife has as much right to the money as the husband. Positively no credit must be con sidered. Parents must never sacrifice them selves to the point of Indulgence. Force children to be obedient, with a hope of reward, and be free in ex pressing your love for them. Children should never be lied to In order to force them to be obedi ent; never burden the older children with the younger ones. The sisters should never be obliged to give up school for the brothers. Brothers and sisters should treat each other alike, and favors at home should not bo governed according to their sex. Children have no right to be paid for the work they do at home. Phil adelphia Record. Corded Fabrics. There are more silk and wool ma terials put on the rounters each week. New ones that were kept until late in the season have been shown to the public. Theso are made up Into coat suits of ono-plece frocks, and are often striped. Some of the colors come with a plain surface for the skirt and a striped surface for the coat. Silk and wool bengaline is possibly the favor ite of them all. The corded fabrics are In the height of fashion. The Idea even runs Into shantung and pongee. There seems no end to the latter weave. It overspreads every thing else. Just why Is hard to say, for It Is rather raglike when made up and cannot be depended on for graceful lines. Some of the weaves are delightful for house frocks, and as the material has practically no weight, It makes a hair with too hot irons, as they de stroy the gloss.

A tenderfoot's first night In the woods Is a notable adventure. I shall not forget my strange dismay and homesick perturbation, as 1 crawled with Doe Into our tent In the cold twilight at 9 o'clock. The floor ot the tent was laid deep with boughs, over them a pack-mantle was spread, then a blanket, then our sleeping bags, then several other blankets. Our comrndes' tent was pitched near ours, and between the two blazed a genial fire. Doe urged me to make ready for bed in haBte, before the flr went out, and she set me an admired example of celerity. But I alas! everything went wrong beneath my blundering hands. I could not find one article In my duffle-bag without removing all the others; I lost my slippers In the blankets, and my cold cream In the balsam boughs; I was shivering with cold and fatigue; the flro was going out. As for getting Into that sleeping-bag, never was thero such tin intricate process, nor one more fettering in its results when once it was accomplished. I had to adjust myself In the bed by a series ol wholesale leaps and bounds, hoping against hope that I might fall upon some soft spit. In the dim light 1 peered over at Doe, to see what she had dono for a pillow. There the valiant one lay, fast asleep, with her head on her duffle-bag and hor boots t inside the bag! Obediently I fol lowed suit, squirming ami wriggling In the clutch of that hateful sleeping bag, and dragged up my duffle-hag from the ditch. But I was no Jacob, nor yet was I Doe, to sleep with such a tough bead-rest as that, and 1 promptly discarded It and made shift to fold up my skirt and waist. Then, of course, the buttons got Into my ears, and the scams made uncom fortable ridges. That was a funny, weary night; I laughed even at the time.

Two women on an open car sailing down Broadway near Houston street the other afternoon were discussing the artificiality of life in New York. The woman who had taken the nega tive side of the argument had been temporarily silenced, but she re turned to the attack when her eye caught sight of a big window box. fifty feet long at least, that stretched across the third story front of one of the great gray buildings that are crowded all day long with thousands of work people fashioning wearing apparel and other exterior decora tions for humans. The box was filled with the brilliant green and white ot luxuriant daisies in full 'bloom. It was restful to the eye a verltaMe ocular oasis in the drab, sign sprinkled wall of Broadway. "There!" exclaimed the woman triumphantly. "Tbe man who placed that there is one above sordid money making. He is a man who loves na ture and beauty. That proves my ar gument that all here. Is not artificial and a sham." "Look closer, my dear," answered the other. "Do you see tho3e big signs above and below the window box? They say 'Blossom & Co., Ar tificial Flowers.' That show of noil ding daisies Is simply a sample of what they are making inside." New York Press. Glossy Hnir. "How do you keep such glossy hair?" asked a girl of a woman ot the world.

Did you never notice how much more luster your hair has when you feel that life is all to the good? Let me get a bilious attack and no amount of care will keep my hair from looking dead.

The problem of a Turkish bath at home has been solved by a clever girl who wished to take them regularly nnd could not afford to go to a regu lar establishment. Her equipment for the bath consists of three large lamps and the family bathtub. The fact that the bathroom is a small one aids her In getting the effect of heat desired, but a compartment of ordi nary dimensions may bo f-lnillarls adapted If more lamps nnd longer time are given to the preliminaries. The most important part of the home arrangement consists In getting the room hot, nnd this the girl finds eas ier to accomplish in winter, when the steam Is on, than in summer, when she has only the lampa to produce heat ot ninety degrees. Using a steamer chair, quite as In professional baths, she swathes her self in a sheet, and with her back tc the light, stays there for half an hour, during which time she gets into s profuse perspiration. A Jug of lc water keeps Its coolness a sufficient length of time for her to have one oi two refreshing drinks, which also in creases the throwing oft ot persplra tion. A cold cloth on her head prevent any sensation ot falntness.
