Hondo fellow with u soft volet sat
down. hui:.i;ed his knees and scowled,
i'lesently he exclaimed:
"I'hanio' You're not Boint to piny

".Not if 1 can help it," Richard re
plied fechly.
"Well, mind what you're about!

Ittimiint,' down the bank he wet his
liandkerehlef in a hit of brook trick

friend's face.
"It costs, nothing which Is one for

"it Is not lillit'i!.'. iHjn t faint, little

"You look it. Never mind. You'll
look better soon, .lust you wait till
your stomach's full of roast capon und

Richard smiled in languid irony.
."See! The very thought Is illumin

Riclmrd proipped himself on one el
bow. ".My dear old boy. I want to speak

"Not a bit of it!"
"Worse still. I'm ruining you."
"I loll't di ivel, little one."

trated paper and tried to scrape enouRh
toRcther "to paint your picture, until
vou broke down. Hat black coffee be
ing . proverbially not llllinR. Now
don't lie there in a ditch nnd get maud
lin. Just answer me this. Suppose
you have breud and iiecr and a room
and your canvas and traps, are you or
are you not man enough to paint your
picture'.'"
The painter's soul leaped In his eyes.
"Well, you are willing to paint It,
my boy! So what's the use of whining?
Hut first, we've got to eat. I've talked
enough. Now I'm Roing to gird up my
loins und storm the town."
"As we've stormed the others," Rich
ard said bitterly.
"Not at all. Quite otherwise. This
town will be squeezed." He opened
and closed his hands significantly.
"We've been, up to this present, too
virtuous. Virtue Is not tilling. Nor
does it make for -.respectability. Look
at our clothes. I shall now tnke to
the road. 'Rut money in thy purse." "
"I've no conception what you mean.
Florin," the other returned wearily.
"Nor I. That is, 1 have created the
gigantic outlines, but not yet the flue
details. I udvisy you to pull your hat
over your eyes und take a nap. It will
cost us nothing. Anyhow, don't worry.
Things are goltiR to-be all right. I'll be
back soon. Don't ' faint, little one!
Jlind. no nonsense."
"Klorio, have you one single penny?"
"Not I! If I hud a penny, pray where
would be the genius in getting some
hr ad'.'"
Richard sighed nnd covered his face:
too disheartened to hope, too hungry
to sleep, he lay motionless and mis
erable by the roadside, while Florli
trumped tin hill with a spirited effect
at the start, but soon with lagging feet
und a perplexed countenance.
"oh, Lord," he irroancd. "whet my
wits, or I cannot keep Chnrdo's soul
and body together, and when you are
driven Into a corner it's no use split
ting hairs. I told them the truth," he
reflected resentfully, "and nobody be
lieved or cared. Old fotds that pretend
to know everything beforehand, and
are always sighting and scenting some
thing rotten! Knits that imagine them
selves shrewd because they Invite dis
appointment and fatten on suspicion!
I tell them honestly who my father
was and what I know and can do and
want, and what sort of fellow Richard
is, and what a heroie light he has
made. The sleek ones with full bellies

they say. The art -professors are very
sorry, of course. In their position, and
so on and so forth, they have a good

didn't I want to punch that smirk!
if a man has genuine talent he is sure
to make his mark somehow sooner or
later. Then out stalks mv lord Rich
ard, us haughty us a hidalgo with a
patch in his trousers. The commercial
nabobs make still shorter work of me,
and no newspaper needs a stevedore
about my size.
"Improbable? Of course It Is Im
probable. The truth mostly Is, deuce
take it! I don't know as I'd believe It
myself, if my stomach would sit down
and be mannerly. All the same two
young felows of fair education with
no crimes on their conscience, no dis
grace in their families, and through
no fault of their own, are nearly fam
ishing on the outskirts of this rich
town this day.
"Well, town, if truth Is too good for
you, I'll give you some ornamental ly

ing. Richard's got to have three square
meals a dav, which means color in his
face, llesh on his bones, and the old
spirit in his heart. For this I'll dig.
I'll beg. I'll well, I do draw the line at
stealing. Hut I'll treat you to all the
impudence and socospocus vou can
swallow, and take without prejudice
whatever the Lord sends in my way."
A carriage was slowly passing the
cross-road on the brow of the hill
w here he stopped an Instant. The chub
by hand of a child seated by the coach
man negligently dangled a large Uret
(cl. The vagabond at the horses heads
lifted his hands to his mouth and sud
denly uttered a prolonged and terrific
yell, which by straining a point might
lie considered a Jobol, but rather re
sembled the howl, of a demon In an
guish. The horses started, the child
screamed, swayed and dropped the
Hretzel, three women simultaneously
comforted the victim, expostulated
with the miscreant, and gave orders
to the irate coachman who threatened
with his long whip.
Hut these futile demonstrations re
ceded with the brisk trot of the startled
horses, and Florio In gleeful possession
of the plunder retraced his steps down
hill.
"An omen!'" he exulted, for an In
stant regarding with a peculiar ex
pression his crisp, brown booty, then

thrusting It behind him beyond sight
and smell, and whistling ostentatious
ly. "Where did you get It?" asked Rich
ard, but not before biting Into the
thickest part.
"I found it up there In the road."
"oh, cammon!"
"I'pon my word I did," Florio as
sured him, with a candid air. "Chil
dren drop such things sometimes,
don't they?"
Richard broke off half and proffered
it.
"Oh, I ate mine coming down the
hill," Florio said, picking up a twig
and chewing It, while hugging his
knees and keeping his eyes tixed like a
dog's on his friend, until he had con
sumed the lust morsel and leaned back
against the tree with a little sigh.
"It Is nstouishlng what a difference
even a trifle like that Biakis in a man."
"Quite my opinion."
"Hut rather humiliating, Is It not?"
"That we, hence our thoughts, are

But. If you please, our genius is to be

washed down with foaming beer. 'I
hold it true, whwe'er befall," a gnaw
ing stomach writes bilious verse."
"Florio. I'll come along with you
now. It's more cheerful and I feel bet
ter." "No, no! Wait a bit. You're too
tired. Let me go foraging alone once
more. I have considerable business to
transact before night. Judging by, the
cuckoo, which has just struck sixteen.
It must now be about two o'clock by
my watch at the pawnbroker's In Co
logne." Again Florio climbed the hill."
"Upon my word. I could devour not
only the Hretzel. but the fat child on
the box. Hermes, god of rogues, guide
my yearning stomach. 1 don't know
whether I can write a comedy, but I
believe I can perform a large-sized one,
solo. I feel all sorts of latent in
iquities bubbling up in me since I took
the road and the motto: No prejudice.
There's a house across the field. They
can do no more than set the dogs on
me. If I do not eat. 1 shall full down

I'LL
Why should they not give me some
bread if I'm hungry? I would give it
them. I refuse to consider It beg
ging. Anyhow, I'll Just stroll down
their lane and look over their hedge."
He buttoned his coat across his chest,
set his teeth, and marched swiftly to
ward the little farm.
Out came a shrewish woman and ac
costed him with a harsh:
"What do you want?"
"No boon nt your hands," thought he,
"though 1 die." "I am merely admir
ing your salad." he replied, politely,
lifted his hat and retreated whence he
came.
He went some distance along the hot
dusty road, reached the top of the long
hill, met no tempting morsels waiting
to fall Into his mouth, seated himself
on a stile, wiped his moist face and
racked his brains.
"Food and a bed for Chardo before
nightfall. They shall be forthcoming.
Rut firstly eat I must eat I will. I'll
march up to that cottage and spin them
a yarn. I'll offer to tell their fortunes,
regulate their clock, mend their roofs,
wash their poodles or cut their corns.
No llorgon and no pestilence shall de
ter me."
Bristling with determination, he
knocked.
(To Be Continued.)
Death's face Is not a pleasant thing to
loot upon, yet thousands of men and wo
men go about daily with the reflection of
death in their faces. The dull eyes, the
sallow complexion, the sunken checks, the
emaciated form, all tell the story of the in
sidious advances of that implacable foe
consumption. Doctors have declared tha
consumption is incurable. It is not. Tlu.a
sands of consumptive have testified to
their complete recovery after thev were
given up by the doctors and all hope was
gone. It is simply a matter of going to the
seat of the trouble which is imperfect
and improper nutiition.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
does this. It corrects all disorders of the
digestion: It invigorates the liver. It
makes assimilation perfect. It fills the
blood with the elements that build new
healthy tissue in every organ of the body.
It is the great Mood linker and flesh-builder.
It cures S per cent, of all cases of consump
tion. All good druggists sell it.
H. Caddis, Ksq.. of No. 315 s. J. Str.-et, Tncom.i,
Washington, write: "1 wits tnkt-ji ill in ism
with headache anil pain in my back. I cnltt-d in
a doctor and he came three times, lie said I was 1
bilious, but I kept Kitting worse. I took a couxli 1
so that I could not sleep only by being propped
la lira. My lungs nun inc. mm 1 got so poor that
I was skin and bnnp. I thmiKlit I was going to
die. I saw the 'Golden Medical piseoverv' rec
ommended for a coukIi. I tried a liottlc of it and
it did me so much good that I tried another one
ami it made me sound and writ, so I recommend
it to everybody. It saved my life."
A headache is a symptom of constipation.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipa.
tion, promptly and permanently. They do
not gripe. Druggists sell thera.
