The proat pojiularity of this preparation,
after its tesiof many years, should be. an
.-istiranee, even to the most hkeptieal. that
It Is really meritorious. Those who have
used Hai i.'s Hair Kenrwkk know that
It does all that is claimed.
It causes new prowth of lialr on bald
head providi-d the hair follicles are not
dead, which is seldom the case: restores
natural color to pray or faded hair; pre
serves the scalp healthful and clear of
dandruff; prevents the hair falling off or
chauin color ; keeps It soft, pliant, lus
trous, and causes it to grow kinir aud
thick.
Hall's IIaik Rfnkwer produces Its
effects by the healthful Influence of lt.
ve-retable lntrredients, which iuvlfrorate
aud rejuvenate. It Is not a dye, aud is
a delightful article for toilet use. Con
taining no alcohol, it does not evap
orate imiekly and dry up th natural oil.
leaving the hair harsh aud brittle, as da
other preparations.

WHISKERS
Colors them brown or black, as desired,

produces a permanent natural color; and,

WAS IT STEALING?
How a Brutal Husband Was
Taught a Needed Lesson.
"Spe-akino-of the disabilities of woin
cii, si.me people uoul.i have juu lic
lieve therv; vvercj Hone iiowatiays be
cause women are more favored in this
land than in others, that their rijihis
are well eioiii.rh protected aud tliev
have iiothino- to wish for. Why, it
was only this niorniu 1 heard of a
woman knoekeil iluwn by her husband
and called a thief for taking nioiiey
from l:is pocket, as if it had been his
money ouly and not hers that she bad
worked hard for. Her little boy, with
other chil.ireii, had o-,,t into some
trouble some ctty offense - and it
was t. release him that she V;.s liunt
inX around for money. Iler husband
never rave her any. although a well-to-.lo
man and &he a liard-workino;
vvoiiiati. "
'l lic speaker paused, and there were
many iucs.li..iis asked and a tfem ral
buzz f conversation. Tliruiti it all
Mrs. A reus sat mid listened. She
heard no names, and she was very at
tentive. What if it were Ellen, the
sister w lio had been like a mother to
her, married to such a penurious man?
She should not feel easy till she saw
her. At the first ifood opportunity
she ordered her carriage ami. putting
in some cushions, almost snnliiio- a
her tears, she told lleiiuis where to
drive.
It was at the other end of town, at
the foot ol a lane leading up to a smal I.
shabby looking ,u. that he slopped
the horses, and she ot out to walk.
The w indow shades were down, and
she walked around to the back door,
pushed it open, and passed into the
kitchen, tin an old louno-e was the
prostrate form of her sister, w ith suf
fering in her face.
' Ellen, is it true," she said, "what I
have heard? Did he dare to raise his
hand ajraiust you, after all these
years? Tell me quickly. Vhere are
you hurl?'
"Oh, no! Oh. no! It was only the
words. They startled me so. 1 1 was
what he called me. I hit the table
the sharp corner. I hurt my side. I
believe 1 did fall, aud it is very sore;
but 1 am o-,iinir to iet up." She made
a resolute effort, but fell back with a
white face and an exclamation of pain.
"You must yo home w ith me. You
are all worn out, and there is no one
here to nurse and care for you proper
ly. Eie perfectly still, my dear, till I
come back."
Mrs. Arens called to Dennis, who
drove away for help. Then .she went
about ihe house pickinir up w hat would
be ueedeu, and when Dennis returned,
her sister, quite unresisting, was lifted
into the carriage, carelully wrapped
up and driven away.
Hiram liiake. on cumin? home that
nirht, found no tire, no wife, no sup
per, no son. Such au experience had
never hapetied before in the whole
course of his married life. He had been
hard at work all nay, aud had had no
time to think of the occurrence of the
moriiiiio-, but now it came back with a
troubled insistence. He went to a
house not far away, where lived a
woman known as "old Emeliiie," who
sometimes came to help his wife. He
hired her now to come and Kct him
si.iiicthiiio- to eat. Then as he moved
uneasily about the room, from window
to table, tryinjr to read, and putting
his paper dow n arain. little 1'aulcame
iu with a scared look. He said his
mother was at his Aunt Kuby's, and
that the doctor said she would be sik
a lono; time.
"Don't wonder!" sniffed old Emetine,
casting a black look at llirain IMake.
"1 t's a wonder she wa'ti't took sick a
lono- while afore. She hail work euoug-h
for three women to do here."
At the end of a week the man ac
knowledged to himself that he had
never been so miserable in his life.
He dismissed the hired men after the
day's work, for the faithful wife was
no longer there to feed theiu. l'aul re
mained at his aunt's much of the time,
only . initio- home now anil then to re
port the slow progress of the patient.
Eoiteriiif in the lane one evening.
Hiram Illake saw some one leading a
horse very carefully, who inquired if
there was any hotel near, as some tlo no
was the matter with his horse, and he
wished to find a veterinary surgeon to
examine it. Mr. liiake did au unprece
dented thino- fur him. He asked the
stranger in, while he went for a neigh
boring doctor skilled in the treatment
of animals. He prescribed some rem
edies, ami the st ranker, who said his
name was Dixon, was invited to stop
with Mr. liiake, such was his utter
loneliness, lie accepted frladly for a
few days. The old housekeeper "Tum
bled at haviiio; another "to do for;" but
after the first day she made no further
complaint, saying-: "Mr. Dixon was a
likely man, . and pleasant spoken;
some difference betweeu him and Hi
I.lake " and she prophesied "they
would not pull together lono;."
Mr. Dixon was so solicitous for his
horse, and worked so persistently for
its comfort, that it excited his host's
.miimeiit.
"Hut that is my religion." Mr. Dixon
answer -I. - to make evervthiuy an " I
-ie as happy as it is in my power,
t'nu have a yood beast there," and he
io in ted to a strawberry roan named
I'eter.
"My wife is fond of that horse."
Hiram lilake's voice sounded strange
ly to him.
"lie looks overworked."
"Yes.' He has Wen doing the work
of two horses lately. I must let him
rest a bit, or he will be nothing but
f!:in ani Kino:,; but tho-e i-.nor'h-r
wav to get along. One can't do as he
would like to. hut as he can."
"I wish you would let me take down
the partition between these two stalls,
they are too narrow for I'eter to rest
well. A horse needs plenty of room,
and I shall sleep Wtter for it. too."
Once a proxsal like this would have
Wen met with derision, but Mr. Illake
was surprised at his own readiness to
assist, and, while one bathed the stiff
legs, the other brought an extra meas
ure of meal. "You would soon spoil
the critters." He spoke jocosely, aud
a little awkwardly.
"Oh. 110." said his companion, earn
estly. "I am only pleading for their
rights."
"I didn't know they had any such
particular rights." Mr. Bake brought
the words out slowly.
"h. yes. every living thing has
rights we are bound to resK-ct. We
can make a heaven for them here, if
we w io. and for ourselves, too."
"I thought Heaven was a long way
off, with an angrv Ood to rule it."
"Heaven is right round us. or we
can make it the other place, as manv
do. I see no anger iu ('oil's dealinos
with us. He has given us this beauti
ful world. It is the most Wtuidlcss
love day after day; but we are slow to
learn the lesson, and to do by each
other and by every living creature
even as he is doing for us all the time."
Hiram. Illake thought a long while
over these words He had never heard
anything like the ideas expressed in
them.
One evening, seated on the piazza,
the two men quite alone. II irani ei'.ed
the case of a Woman who took money
from her husband's jiocket. ami asked
his friend if he did not think it was
taking what did not Whmg to her.
-Mr. Dixon inquired into the c;im if
she worked without wages if she re
ceived half of the income regularlv;
and. having lcarnvd the facts, declared
he thought it was a plain case of
stealing. Hiram shifted uneasily iu
his chair. He did not exactly like to
have the woman branded in this wav,
although he ha., invited the criticism.
Hut Mr. Dixon continued:
"Yes. a man that will force his wife
to have recourse to sueh extremeties
a wife who is only a toiler, not a
sharer in the - I- ets of a home that
man is a thief of the worst t pe. K..r
what should he live but to make her
happy? Instead of that, he is laving
up bitterness for himself, and sorrow
for all around him."
Hiram l:lake shifted his weight from
one leg to the other. He had not ex
pected this climax, and he hastily
changed the subject.
"I have been thinking of building
on to the kitchen, and putting more
windows in. My w ife always said it
was too small and dark. hat do you
think?" he asked.
"I should build a new house, and
move this one away, if I owned it, and
could a If or. 1 it."
"1 hadn't thought of that; but I
guess I could do it."
Hiram took so Kindly to this view of
the situut ion that t he next time l'aul
came home and told his fath. r he had
heard his Aunt Kuby sa lis mother
was never coming t' this .muse again,
Ilirum only rubbed his hands ami said,
cheerily: "She's right, l'aul; your
mother never will."
He had an architect to draw the
plans, aud Mr. Dixon gave many sug
gestions. Iu time the house was fin
ished and furnished, even to a row of
plants in the broad bay window. The
old hoilsekeejier knew the names of
some favorites, and even contributed
a few- herself, with much pride. At
last, I'eter, harnessed to a low. easy
carriage, was sent f..r the long absent
wife. Little l'aul was the driver, and
could scarcely contain his excitement.
His father had cautioned him to say
nothing about the new house, for he
had planned a surprise, l'aul Wgan
to tell about the horse. "It's yours,
mother, your own. No one else can
drive I'eter unless you say so. Isn't
he fat? And the new carriage is all
yours. Isn't it soft and springy?"
Mrs. ltlake could hardly believe her
eyes. Of course she hail heard some
thing about the new building, but
that anything so tine had Wen pre

MILLIE'S (iltEKN PEAS.
The Part They Played In the
Scheme of Human Events.
Millie Mitchell was only six j-ears
old. Iler mother was very poor, and
sewed for her living in two small
rooms of a dingy New York house not
far from East llroadway. One bright
day in summer, a day that made even
the shabby ami dirty street seem
pl.asaut because of the breeze and
sunshine that were blended there, Mil
lie's mother said to the child:
"You've Wen very good for three
whole days, and 1 promised you that
if you didn't worry and fret me the
least bit for that length of time you
should have something nice to eat oil
the fourth day."
Millie jimiM-d for joy. Her blue
eyes glittered, and the red lips curled
away from her tiny white teeth in a
glorious little smile. Even in her
coar.-.e gown she was very pretty, and
if she had been arrayed like some of
the children w ho then were romping
in the up-town parks, watched by their
careful nurses, with her yellow lloss
of hair neatly combed and daintily be
riblxuietl. you might even have paused
and saitl of her: "How Wautiful a
child!"
"I guess w hat it is!" she cried. "It's
green h-;is! It's green peas!"
"Yes." saitl her mother; "and I
shelled them on the sly, and they'll
soon be cooked. Ami there'll In? m
tatocs. tto, w ith some meat left over
from yesterday. The meat will be
cold, for I haven't got time with my
sewing, to heat it. Uut two hot veg
etables, Millie, think of that! And
now you can run out into the street
for a little while, and when you come
iii 111 have everything ready. lint
mind you don't stay long, and remem
ber not to pass the corner."
To pass the corner meant to invade
the great bustle and breadth of the
thoroughfare near by. Millie would
not have dared to do that, even if she
hail desired. She simply trotted along
the pavements of her particular block,
just as she hail done countless times
before.
The merry wind blew back her silken
hair below the ragged brim of her hat,
with its one old crumpled scarlet rose
nodding on the crown.
She was going to have green tieas
for dinner, aud she was magiiilicently
happy.
Certain residents of the street knew
her. and smiled to her from their
doorways. To some of these, as she
trip ed along, she would say, with a
mellow little laugh: "We're going to
have green (H-as for dinner!"
Some answered her laugh rather
coldly. Others answered it in a
hiiinaiier way. Still others gave her a
sigh of pity. They were all aor p-'-ple.
but there were gra :es in their
poverty, sel f-iiiiporlance and pride.
Soon she reached a grim, ramshackle
tavern iu tiie middle of the block.
I 'roui its door a big man with a pulfed.
purplish face had just emerged, lie
side him was a thin, frail boy, with
sunken cheeks. The juan had gripte.l
the hoy's sleeve, and his frown was
full of threat.
"Oo home," he growled, "and tell
your mother that if she sends ye here
agin when I'm takin a sociable glass,
I'll send ye back to her with the life
Wat half out o' you, so 1 will!"
The Wy gave a faint cry of pain.
II is father's hand hail clutched bruis-
ingly what slight flesh there was on
his fragile arm.
Millie came to a standstill, and
stared innocently into the man's face.
"I'm inning to have green peas for
dinner!" she said. "I've Wen good for
three whole days, and I'm going to
have "em!"
Here Millie put her head on one side
and critically surveyed the wan.
sunken-cheeked boy. "I guess he'd
like some greeu peas for his dinner. 1
guess he ain't going to have anj'. I
wish he was."
As she danced away, with a faint
hum of song on her lips and the breeze
blowing her bright hair, the eyes of
the bloated man followed her. His
hand tlropicd from the flimsy sieeve
of the Wy and presently it slipped
into one of his own pockets.
"You said there wasn't anything
home to eat? He drew out half a dol
lar and gave it to the Wy. "That's all
I ve got left, but it'll buy something.
J won't take no more drink to-day. I
gu'ss I can work off this spree Wfore
to-morrow nioriiin". (jo home an' tell
yer mother I said that. Hurry, now,
an" HI trudge on after ye."
The p-ile Wy, with his coin close
gra-.pe.l in one weak hand, hastened
dow ii the- street, lie knew too well
his father's good resolves how- soon
they me ted in air. liut at least the
an nil want from which he and his lit
tle sister and his sick mother were all
three suffering would W appeased for
a short t iiue.
Fifty cents meant so much! Ten
cents would buy lots of bread. Twenty
cents would buy a good deal of meat.
And then there would W twenty cents
left. And that for to-morrow might
stave off actual starvation at leatt all
ot her day.
As he thought this thought the pale
boy, sK-eiling to his miserable home a
few streets away, blessu.l that same
little girl roin the lowest deeps of his
grateiul and astonished heart.
Meanwhile Millie went buoyantly
or., with the old crumpled rose on her
hat Whhiug up aud down in the sum
mer wind.
Soon she met two girls who seemed
to be quarreling. One was larger than
i the other and appeared to W very old
indeed She was possibly sixteen
years old. while her companion could
not have been luore than fourteen.
"I won't go back home, Kate," said
the younger girl, who was pretty,
wilh a face pink as a seashell and
great liquid eyes, lull of dark, starry
oiiu low. "Father's drunk half the
year. Of course I love mother, but
slie'a always got the young ones to
mi.id. No. I ll earn my owu living the
Wt w- " .
"Susie!" cried the other girl, with a
horrilied accent.
"Yes. I will! Oh! you go along.
Kate. 1 know what I'm talking about
Ain't I got a first-class chaueeV"
"No; it's wrong."
"Wrong? Oh! go along with your
1 notions. Won t the liowery l'aradise
give me eight dollars a week to dance
only aWut a half-hour every uight iu
the new pantomime? I'm to be one of
the Moonlight Fairies. Why. Kate,
just think! My dress'll W all white
laee and silver, and a pair o silver
wings and spangled slippers and a
wand and a big half-moon on the top
o' my head!"
"lKm't go. Susie!" urged Kate. "It'll
hring you into bad company."
"Had company! Any worse than my
father drunk most always?"
"Your mother needs you at home,"
Kate persevered. "It would break her
heart for you to run away aud leave
her."
"Hut she won't let me join the show
if I keep on living at home," said Susie,
with an obstinate pout.
"She s right; she's right. Susie. Oh!
say, do give up all' this! What are
your little brothers ami sisters going
to do without you? W hy. they can't
never go out at all if you go. No more
play for them oh! say. Susie "
Just then Millie paused and looked,
w ith her infantile candor, full iuto the
faces of the two girls.
"I'm going to have green peas for
dinner to-day, 1 am. I've Wen go.nl.
and ray mother's cooking the greeu
peas now."
Instantly the attention of the two
was caught by the child's confidence
and Wauty.
"Ain't she a funny little thing?" said
Kate, kneeling Wside the child.
"I ain't always good," said Millie,
gravely.
"Oh. I guess you aiu't ever very bad,
are you?" said Susie, looking down,
her pout lost iu amusement, so facile
was her disposition.
Millie pondered this Seriously for
three seconds. -
"I fret and worry my mother." she
replied, conscientiously, aud looking
down with shame and wonder whether
her elders would speak to her after
such a confession, lioth girls laughed
with delight in the child's pretty sim
plicity. "It's very wrong for a little girl to
fret her mother that's what mv
mother says," said Millie, stoutly per
sisting. "And what if you was a big girl?"
said Kate, not 1-Hiking at Susie.
"No matter if 1 was as big as big "
Millie paused and her eyes roved for a
comparison "as big as the engine
house." she ended, surprised by her
owu imagination of attaining such
size.
"You dear little girl! Whose girl
are you?" saitl Susie, trying to clutch
and kiss the child.
Hut at the tone of praise all Millie's
joy cam. rushing back to her.
"liut now I'm good and I'm going
to have green peas for dinner!" cried
Millie, skipping with delight past
Susie's rcacn. and then strutting im
portantly away.
As the girls watched her their faces
w re sweet with smiles of delight and
humor smiles that gave them again
for a few moments the l.xtks of their
less troubled childhood. When Kate,
turniug. caught this look on Susi -'s
face, a deeper satisfaction came into
her own.
"Well, let's go home, then." said
Susie, as Millie disappeared. "Wasu't
she a dear little thing"'"
Kate was too wise to risk any ref
erence to Susie's former mood, for a
word of argument or moralizing might
have thrown her back on her ob
stinacy by renewing her sense of the
monotony of home aud the attractions
of the Howery l'aradise. All that Kate
saitl was:
"Let us have green peas for dinner.
Susie. If there ain't any in the house
111 run round to Mullen's for some."
"Yes, I'm good. too. now. Kate." said
Susie, with a look of tears and smiles.
"Ami I'm going to have green peas for.
dinner!" she cried, imitating the very
accents of Millie, skipping in her fash
ion and then strutting away impor
tantly by Kate's side.
Kate still said nothing.
Suddenly Susie stopped and looked
earnestly at her friend.
"The Howery l'aradise won't have
me for a fairy, if you want to know,
Kate."
"Well, I'm just as glad. Susie! And
we're With going to have green peas
for dinner!"
Kate's failure in attempting to imi
tate Millie's tone mrle Susie laugh
more than before, and the two went
happily away with arms round each
other's waists.
Meanwhile Millie entered the little
kitchen where her mother stood with
the flushed face of a toilful yet tri
umphant cook.
1 guess dinner must be ready by
this time." saitl Millie.
"It is." said her mother, and pointed
to the pine table, with two plates and
three dishes gleaming from its coarse,
clean cloth. Millie, with a gleeful
smile, climbed into her own chair.
"You must have hail quite a long
walk," saitl her mother, as she took
the remaining chair. "I spse you
stopied and talked to people: you gen
erally do, the ueighWrs tell me."
"1 talked to a few people," answered
Millie, "but I guess I forgot what I
sai.l."
"Oh. I know, you little goose,"
laughed her mother, as she uncovered
the peas. "You told them you were
going to have green peas for dinuer."
"Yes." said Millie, with an intellec
tual abstraction caused by whetted ap
petite. "I guess that's what I did tell
'kui. but I aiut quite sure. I I guess
1 was pretty excited, atd didn't "itactly
know just vvhat I said."
Her mother laughed again, and
helped her generously from the dishful
of teas. And Millie ate them with a
fine -elish and in splendid i.-tiorance
of how wholesome and imMrtant a
part they had caused her to play in the
mighty scheme of human events. Ed

And as Sophy lied swiftly along, her
scarlet hood gleaming like a tropic

converted every rustling leaf into the
stealthy tread of a wild Wast.
Hut suddenly, as she reached a copse
