PRINCESS BEDR’S RING.
Miss Whiton looked rather bored
when her mother suggested that they
spend their sec-
ond day in Cairo
at the pyramids
of Gizeh.
“Mother, the
pyramids are tire-
some,” said Paula
irritably. “We
have seen them a
dozen times with-
in my recollec-
tion. It is much
more interesting
terrace and watch
to sit here on the
the crowds.”
Mrs. Whiton laughed comfortably.
“Well, do as you please, Paula; but,
as this is Eve's first visit to Egypt, I
am going to take her out to see the
Sphinx and the pyramids.”
Paula smiled tolerantly on her
cousin. Eve Raymond was enthusias-
tic and quite unsophisticated in spite
of her twenty years.
When the morning came and Eve |
Raymond and her guardian aunt had
departed in a carriage for the pyra-
mids, Paula went out on the terrace
and looked at the passing crowds.
A sweet-faced, elderly lady walking
on the hotel terrace caught a glimpse
of Paula’s beautiful profile and came
up to her chair.
“It really is Paula Whiton!” cried
the newcomer cordially.
Paula jumped up and held out both
hands. “Dear Mrs. Long! I am so
glad to see you! This is the most
charming surprise—tell me, when did
you come?”
Mrs. Long sat down besides Paula’s
they had arrived the night before from
a trip to Luxor.
“You know Jack is an inveterate
relic hunter, and despite the fact that
he did not arrive until late last eve- |
ning he is off this morning to the pyra-
mids—what he expects to find there in
that thoroughly harrowed field, I can’t
imagine!”
Paula bit her lips. It was vexatious
indeed when she had remained at
home in the hope of meeting Jack
Long, to discover that he, too, had
gone to that hackneyed spot which |
Eve had been chattering about for
several weeks.
“Oh, Aunt Felice, look at the darling
bracelets!” cried Eve enthusiastically
+ after she had exhausted her delight in
the wonders of the plain of Gizeh.
Mrs. Whiton looked indulgently at
the dark-skinned Arab who was of-
fering his tray of bizarre jewelry tc
her niece.
“The ring of the Princess Bedr—her
bring fortune to one who wears it,”
urged the peddler eagerly.
comes to one who possesses the ring
as love come to the most beautiful of
Egyptian princesses; ’twas found
buried in sand at the feet of the
Sphinx.” 3
As they visited other points of in
terest, Eve thought again of the ring
of the Princess Bedr and of the charm
it was said to hold for the unloved.
“It might be true, after aiX Who
knows?” she argued to herself, so, op
their way back to Cairo, when they
passed the white-clad peddler with
his tray of ornaments, Eve stopped the
carriage and dismounting, ran after
the man.
To her dismay, just as she reached
Ahmed, another person hurried breath-
lessly up to the peddler.
“I want the ring of the Princess
Bedr!” cried Eve impulsively, and as
the newcomer drew back out of hear
ing she brought forth her purse and
paid the price demanded by Ahmed.
Eve showed the ring of the Princess
Bedr to Mrs. Whiton and made her
promise not to tell Paula the magic of
it.
That evening Eve Raymond was in-
troduced te Jack Long on the terrace
at Shepheard’s hotel. In five minutes
Jack found himself telling Eve all
about his collection of Egyptian an-
tiquities.
“Of course I know half the junk is
faked,” he admitted naively; *‘but it’s
rather fun, you know, to fancy it’s all
right and to dream dreams about the
people of those other days—don’t you
think so?”
Eve nodded. “I understand; I sup-
pose that is why I bought the ring of
the Princess Bedr,” she confessed.
“The ring of the Princess Bedr?” he
echoed.
“The man called it that—of course
I knew it couldn’t be genuine—but I
liked to imagine it might be!” Eve
held out her left hand and displayed
the ring of the Princess Bedr on the
third finger. The orange eyes glowed
dully.
Jack Long laughed indulgently. He
held out his own left hand and there
on the little finger was the duplicate
of Eve’s ring.
“I also fell a victim to the charms
of Princess Bedr’s ring.”
“Oh!” cried Eve; and there was dis-
appointment in her -tone.
“Do you really care whether the
ring of the Princess Bedr ever be-
longed to that departed lady or not?”
“Not a bit,” agreed Eve quickly;
“it’s a dear ring, though, and I shall
always wear it—TI like the orange eyes
-—and there may be virtue in it.”
“lI am sure there is,” agreed Long
quietly. “For my part I shall always
have faith in the magic properties of
the ring of Princess Bedr—perhaps
some day, you will permit me fo tell
you why.”

A CANINE TRAGEDY
It Was Given Its Canine Name by the
Trouble Came In Bunches With
. the Purchase oi a Watchdog.
It Taught the Battered Master of the
Wrecked Home That Under Some
Circumstances a Burglar May Be
Better Company Than a Mastiff.
“If a man is afraid of burglars,” said
Quackenbush, “he can’t have a better
; safeguard than a good watchdog.”
“But where is he going to get the
good watchdog?’ inquired Clinken-
| beard. “Such animals don’t grow on
| trees, and they are not advertised by
| department stores.
“Of course, if you go around telling
. that you are in the market for a watch-
| dog every man who has a chicken kill-
'ing pup he wants to get rid of will
tell you that his critter is just what
{you are hunting for. But you'll try
lout a million dogs before you find one
‘that will get down to brass headed
{ nails and do police duty.
| “Pwo or three years ago there was a
| burglar scare out in our suburb. Sev-
| eral houses had been entered and some
false hair and things carried away. So
| my wife got so nervous she couldn't
| sleep at night. She was sure some
| masked bandit would break in and
I steal the ‘What Is Home Without a
| Mother’ chromo from over the mantel,
| and just to give her a sense of security
'T bought a big wmastiff and took him
{home and chained him to a tree in
| front of the house.

i strings, and he began lamenting the |
chair and told the smiling girl that | Past. He had the most bloodcurdling |
{ voice 1 ever heard. Every yell he let
| out froze the marrow in my bones.
| He'd begin with a sort of plaintive
{ wail and wind up with a howl that
| graveyard on a rainy night. My wife
{ said the uproar would have to be
| stopped and I'd better bring the dog
| into the house. He'd probably be quiet
| there.
*So 1 slid into a few rags and went
| flownstairs and into the yard. Just as
| I approached the dog old Billshaw,
| who lived next door, opened his bed-
room window and threw an old frying
| pan. Of course he meant it for the
| dog. but his aim was poor and it caught
me in the bread basket and knocked
the wind out of me.
“I sat down on the grass and gasped
for breath, and a shower of bottles and
bootjacks and stove wood came from
Billshaw’s window, and every blamed
item hit me in one place or another.
When 1 finally got my breath I yelled
‘to Billshaw to let up. for he was mur-
dering me, and he said it was just
what | deserved for keeping such a
menagerie where it would give the
whole neighborhood the horrors.
“After 1 had rubbed my bruises for
y balf an hour 1 took the dog into the
house and went back to bed. I was
just dropping off to sleep when I was
roused by the allfiredest racket. It
sounded as though the side of the
house was falling in. My wife was
shrieking that the dog was upsetting
all the furniture and ruining every-
thing. So I went downstairs again,
quoting a few passages from Webster's
Dictionary.
“I had forgotten about the cat when
I took the dog into the house. But the
dog had discovered the pet and was
chasing it through the house, and you
never saw such a scene of wreckage.
Everything that wasn’t nailed down
had been overturned, and nearly every-
thing was broken. The gas light was
burning, and there was the cat hanging
to the gas fixtures and the dog stand-
ing on his hind legs trying to reach
her.
“My memories of what followed are
rather confused. I seem to recall grab-
bing the dog by the scruff of the neck
to take hin outdoors, and he bit a
sample from my shin, and then we
mixed things on the floor. I managed
to stuff the pincushion into his mouth
so he couldn’t bite, and we resorted to
Greco-Roman wrestling.
“Then the cat came dewn from the
gas fixture and took a hand and clawed
most of my scalp off, and my wife
came to the rescue with the poker.
She said afterward that she was try-
ing to hit the dog. 1 reckon I'd have
been on ice' next day if the neighbors
hadn’t come in with shotguns and prun-
ing hooks and such things and pried
up apart.
“That experience was eno®gh for me.
I'd rather have forty burglars on the
premises than one watchdog.”—Walit
Mason in Chicago News.
Stationers.
When pens and ink and other writ-
Ing materials came into common use
a great many years ago they were sold
by peddlers from house to house. After
awhile a few dealers in writing ma-
terials opened stalls and remained sta-
tionary at their place of business. To
fistinguish the two classes of paper
gellers the man in the stall was called
a stationer, and the goods he sold came
to be known as stationery.— Wisconsin

is caused by living animals, because
animals have the inscrutably
power of moving them-
No wonder the ancients were
astonished to see an animal move it-
self. And the wonder has vastly in-
creased now, for the ablest scientific
man cannot possibly see how an ani-
mal is able to move.
The overflowing of the Nile was the
chief event in all of Egypt. Without
this pouring of water over the land
once each year, the valley would be a
desert. The Egyptians at a certain
period in their long history noticed
that when they first saw the star Sirius
early in the morning before sunrise
the Nile river began to rise and pour '
over the banks. They personified
Sirius as a watchdog, watching the
sun and the Nile and the land of
Egypt. its people, destiny and harvests.
The Egyptian name of the Nile was
Siris, and the faithful dog watching
in the sky was finally named Sirius.
Centuries later their horrible religion
taught that it was necessary to mur-
der or sacrifice a dog to the star Sirius
to secure its aid in growing grains and
herds. This terrible habit of slaughter-
ing animals to propitinte imaginary
gods descended to the Greeks and Ro-

Doing Their Duty
SCORES OF BELLEFONTE READERS
ARE LEARNING THE DUTY OF
THE KIDNEYS.
To filter the blood is the kidneys’
duty.
When they fail to do this the kid-
neys are weak.
Backache and other kidney ills
may follow.
Help the kidneys do their work.
Use Doan’s Kidney Pills—the test-
ed kidney remedy.
Bellefonte people endorse their
worth.
Fred Scott, 247 E. Lamb St., Belle-
fonte, says: “Ihave to drive quite a
bit over rough roads and the jolting
had a bad effect on my kidneys. The
trouble started with pains across the
small of my back and if I stooped, I
could hardly straighten. Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills were recommended to me
by friends and I got abox at Green's
Pharmacy Co. I found relief after
taking the first few doses. One box
made a cure and I have not had the
slightest backache sincz.”

When the Clock Stops.
When the clock has stopped you may |
have seen the wife or hushand take it up |
and shake it to start it again. Sometimes |
they succeed. Some little clogging par- :
ticle is removed by the shock and the :
clock starts again. But it does not £0 |
very long before it runs down. Anothen !
shock perhaps starts it, but the clock |!
soon stops again, and presently has to
be overhauled by the clock doctor. It’s
something the same way with the liver.
It stops its useful and necessary offices,
sometimes, and the man or woman af-
fected tries to jar it into starting, with
some powerful pill or potion. Perhaps |
they succeed. But the success does not
last. The liver soon stops again, and
finally they have to go to a doctor. The
value of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery in such cases, is that it carries
off the clogging particles which interfere
with the health of the body. It strengthens
the liver, purifies the blood, and heals
diseases of the stomach and organs of
digestion and nutrition. There can be
no substitute for “Golden Medical Dis-
covery.”

Hood’s Sarsaparilla.
Catarrh Leads
to Consumption
IT REQUIRES A BLOOD REMEDY—HOOD’S
SARSAPARILLA IS THE BEST.
Catarrh is as much a blood disease as
scrofula or rheumatism. It may be re-
lieved, but it cannot be removed by sim-
ply local treatment. It causes headache
and dizziness, impairs the taste, smell
and hearing and affects the voice, hurts
the stomach, deranges the digestion, and
breaks down the general health. One of
its worst effects is the weakening of the
delicate lung tissues, which leads to con-
sumption.
Old reliable Hood’s Sarsaparilla is
found to be of great service in the treat-
ment of catarrh. It goes to the seat of
the trouble, purifies the biood, and is so
successful that it is known as the best
remedy for this common disease.
Hood’s Sarsaparilla strengthens ‘and
tones the whole system. It builds up.
