Cured of
THH YOUNG doctor looked up sud
denly lie fancied he recognized
the man who was npprnuchlni; In
in automobile.
"1JI, there, Cameron," he cried; "glni
ini! a ride, Won't you?"
Tlio young man checked the suito unit
looked around with a quick smllo.
"I thought I recognized the dialect,"
ho said, ns he turned the machine to
ward the curb. "What can I do for
you, doc?"
"I want a ride," said the doctor. "My
brand-new nuto shed a the Inst night
und has gone to the tinker for ti now
one. As I have no liorso this throws
me on the mercy of my friends or my
legs. And for n man who walks ns lit
tle as I do the exertion Is a somewhat
painful one."
"Jump In," paid the other man. "GInd
of your company. There, we're off
How's Mo health of the city?"
"Absuidly good. How are you?"
"Up to the average, I guess."
"No, you are not. You are wuy below
It. What's, wrong with you?"
"Blues, I fancy."
"Bluest Nonsense! The trouble with
ybu Is too much money and too little to
do, Jack Cameron. Oh, 1 know Ilia
symptoms."
"And what's the remedy?"
"The remedy Is simple. You have
only to forget yourself."
"You don't call that simple, do you?"
"Well, call it heroic If you like. It's a
stiro cure."
"Thank you, doe. I'll trade you the
auto ride for the advice and add my
gratitude for good measure." He
paused and shrugged his shoiildcis.
"You're all right about the symptoms,
old fellow," ho said. "I've boon having
a Jit of the blues for the last few days.
Life has lost Its charm. 1 am out of
sorts restleM and uncomfortable and
unhappy. I fancy It's a heritage from
my mother. She was very unhappy at
times."
"Seeheie,'1 said the young doctor in
his sharp, quick wny, "can't you. see the
absurdity of a big healthy fellow like
you, without a wish that you cannot
Kratify, talking about life losing Its
charms? You don't know what lite Is.
You should make a few rounds with
me and forget your petty troubles.
Why, man, there isn'c a solitary soul In
this city that has le3s cause to com
plain." "Where do you want to go, doc?"
"Straight down to the front of the
street and then turn to the left. If you
have nothing else on hand you can't do
better than help me do a little good.
It's all gratuitous, you understand, and
we'll share the credit between us."
"But I never supposed you did any
thing in that line," said the other man.
"Oh, didn't you? Well. I can tell you
that wo do a great deal. I don't ac
complish as much as I would like, but
it is mainly because I haven't the time.
There, turn to the left and now to the
left again. It's the little frame house
at the right. Yes, this one."
The auto touched the curb and the
doctor alighted.
"I'll not detain you long, Jack. Keep
up your spirits. Remember, you get
half the fee."
And he hastened to the door of tho
grimy dwelling and almost immediately
disappeared within.
Jack Cameron ran a little wny up the
road and" presently turned and came
back slowly. As he halted opposite the
door somebody rapped at the window,
lie looked up suddenly and saw a little
white face that smiled at him as the
little chad nodded vigorously. Cameron
smiled and nodded back. And then a
little clenched list was shaken at him
and the little face frowned darkly, and,
then, suddenly relaxing into a smile,
dodged from Cameron'n sight. A mo
ment or two later the door opened and
""unieron's friend, the doctor, appeared
la the doorway with something in Ills
arms. The something was a girl, a
slender girl of perhaps thirteen, a girl
with a while face that looked drawn
and old, and with great gray eyes that
were never still. Tho doctor came to
the curb with his burden and gently
rested it on the auto seat.
"Mls-s It' Itecca Jane Kumler," he sold
in his suuvest tones, "let me present
my f i lend, Sir. Jack Cameron."
The child nodded, and smiled.
"I was Ulrtln' with you through the
window,' she said. "You saw me,
didn't you?-' Her voice was high but
not unpleasant, and Mio spoke In. a
crisp, nervous way that seemed very
curious to Jack.
"I saw you," he said, "oud I'm very
sure you shook your list at mo."
"Oh, that's all In tho game," laughed
the girl. "I call It Illrtln,' and, oh, I flirt
with so many men, There's the post
man and two milkmen and the Iceman.
They urft all very nice men, especially
the postman but ho isn't us good look
ing as tho Iceman. When It is a hot
day the iceman always leaves a little
lump Just for me, and I make It last
ever so long. Once ho didn't come
'cause it was a holiday."
"When your back is bad, Cameron,"
said the doctor, "and your legs nre
limp, and you sit' by the window allday
you get'Hu you notice theso tiilles."
"I should like to know that Iceman,"
i-ald Cameron.
"I don't believe he Is a bit better look
In'g than you are," said tho child, with
her head very much on one side. "And
you wear ever bo much nicer clothes.
Is this your nutomobuller?"
''Ves," said Cameron,
"ltobecra is much Interested In au
tos," explained tho doctor, "and this
happens to be the llrat one she aver
s.iw. That's way sue wanted mo to
carry her out and Introduce her."
"Yo'u know you offered to," ciled the
child In her sharp, quick way, "I
wouldn't huvo been so bold for any
thing. It doesn't shy a bit, does tv"
"Not a bit," laughed Cameron. "I
can drive It light up to a locomotive
und It doesn't oven snort. And It stands
as quiet as n sheep without hitching,"
"It must be lovely to ride in one," said
tho girl wistfully.
Cameron's eyes met tho doctor's, and
the doctor slmpy nodded,
"If you will lean b.ick comfortably
How to Avoid the Dangers of a Cold.
Everyone must realize the dangers
attending a severe cold, and that It Is
always prudent to remain lu-doors un
til ihe danger is passed. Many, how
ever, do not feel able to lose the time
and will be Interested In knowing that
a severe cold may bo broken up and
all danger avoided by tho prompt use
of Chamberlain's pougli Remedy. It
not only cures, but cures quickly and
counteracts any tendency toward pneu--inor'u.
Per als bv al lri5ri
the Blues!
and rcBt yourself against me," said
Cameron, "I will show you how well
broken this steed of mine really Is."
The girl gasped a lltllo ns the auto
mobile slowly moved awny from the
curb, and then a rapt expression camo
over hot faro.
"do slowly by Mnslnley's house," aim
shrilly whispered, "I want them all to
boo me."
Sho did not speak apilu until after
twice covering the length of tho streot
Cameron brought her back to tho doc
tor. "Did you notice me, doolor?" she
hysterically cried. "Did I look scared?
Did you see mo trcmblln' Oh, wasn't
It great?"
"Of course you wouldn't euro to go
again?" said the doctor with a scarcely
perceptible wink at Cameron.
"Oh, no, of course not," said the child
with a fine air of sarcasm. "And It's
a pity, too, ain't It, doctor; 'cause I'd
trust myself anywhere with your
friend. Isn't he a beautiful tiutoino
buller?" Again a swift glance passed between
the men, and again tho doctor slightly
nodded.
"If Miss Rebecca thinks she would
enjoy the trip," said Cameron In his
most courteous style, "I would be
pleased to take her to tho parks to
morrow afternoon, say at 3 o'clock."
"Parks!" gasped tho girl. "Did you
say parks? Why they're thousands of
miles away. Oh, I've heard of 'em,
though I never saw any. Everybody
else goes to the parks but me."
"Then you will go?" said Cameron.
"Sure," cried the girl. "Mother is out
working, but it will bo nil right any
way. She'll got me ready 'fore she goes
in tho morning. Do you think you can
stand the hat?"
"I'm afraid I don't know one hat
fiom another," laughed Cameron. "Will
It scare the auto?"
"Oh, go long," cried the girl. "1 bet
you've seen It. It's got red ribbons, but
I'll rotrlm it this nftcrnoon. Don't you
forget to come but of course you
won't. You must rap on the door, you
know, and then come in."
"But are you sure that I can carry
you safely?" Cameron asked.
"J ain't afraid or anything," said the
child, "except that the automobuily
might run away while you're in the
house. Good-bye. I'll expect you sure,
'less it rains."
And then the doctor picked her up
and carried her back Into the dingy
house. In a moment she reappeared nt
the window and blew him a kls3. She
was still waving and smiling as the
auto turned and sped away.
The two men were silent for a little
while.
"Is she always like that?" Cameron
asked.
"Always," replied the doctor. "We
had her in the hospital for awhile.
That's whore I met her two years ago.
I've taken an Interest in her ever since.
The hospital didn't help her- any, but
I'm trying an experiment in bandaging
that is doing hrr good, and I'm begin
ning to feel hopeful that it will make a
woman of her yet."
"And doesn't she ever complain?"
"Never heard her. She sits all day by
that window and reads a little and sews
a little and watches life through the
dingy panes."
"Seems hard, doesn't It?" said Cam
eron. "She doesn't say so. She's bright and
cheerful and as playful as a kitten."
"Dut think of always sitting by that
window and looking out into that dlB
mal street," said Cameron. "Isn't there
something she want.?"
"Tho main thing she wants Is fresh
air and sunshine," said the doctor. "Her
mother, a hard working woman, can
provide the few necessities she needs,
but she craves the tonic of a clear at
mosphere." Then another spell of silence fell upon
them us they sped back to the doctor's
home.
"Thank you, doc," said Cameron,
when the other man stepped out.
"You're (ulto welcome, Jack," said
the young doctor.
He did not ask what is was that
Cameron thanked him for.
It was just 2 o'clock of the next after
noon when Jack rapped at the door of
the dingy house that was at once Re
becca's home and prison. Then ho
turned the knob and entered.
"I heard your footsteps," cried the
child. "They said 'I'm coming, I'm
coming.' And I heard the 'chug-chug'
of the automobuller. It's beautiful
music when it's comln' to take you
uwny. Aro the parks still there?"
"I'm pretty suro they are," laughed
Cameron.
"Ond it didn't rain, did It? I put a
spell on It, you know. It just couldn't
ruin. There, I'm most ready.
Sho was sitting in a comfortable
chair, thu only bit of good furniture In
the room, with u little table before her
that bore many things. There wero
picture papers and books, and her sew
ing, and her simple toilet accessories,
and on a shelf below were a pitcher
and bowl that suggested bread and
milk
"You must tell mo how to lift you,"
said Cameron, "and when I've learned
I'll promise not to forget."
"Mercy," cried the child, "what am I
to think of a promise like that? You
wait till yon sea how heavy I am,
Mister Man. There, now I'm ready."
And she tied her hat under her chin
with a quick llttlo Jerk. "It Isn't so
awrully llury, Is It?"
"Oh, the hat?" laughed Cameron.
"Why, no. It's really tame, I'm sum
thero'll be no runaways because of Jt,"
wnat a spienuiu joker you are," said
the child, "There, now you may tako
me. Put one arm here and the other
around there nnd lift. Why, you're
stronger than the doctor and just as
careful,"
I
Cameron put his burden on the cush
ioned seat ami wedged her up with n
cushion at the hide, anil then they
Htai ted.
The day was quite warm, but with n
delightful breeze o temper tho sun's
rays and in tho mellow air the child's
sunny disposition grew more marked.
Sho chattered, sho laughed nnd then at
times aim was silent. Hut sho wu
silent only because the charms of tho
wonderful ride quite overwhelmed her,
Camei on's friends who saw Jilm as
ho passed looked a llttlo surprised nt
his companion, but they nil smiled and
nodded in a very friendly way,
"People seem to llkp you," said tho
child.
"Better than I deserve, no doubt,"
bald Cameron. .
"No, Indeed," cried the child. ''EvSy
body Is sure to like you when they find
you out."
"V t 'ryiody." said Cameron, so
gently that tlld child looked tip at him
with a llttlo start.
The parks never looked brighter and
greener and clennor, and when the
W-ayfnrcrs paused where the ripples' of
the lako camo up on tho white pebbles
tho child clapped her lmnds with de
light. "Oh," She cried, "how lovely It muBt
bo to liavo n window with a lako In
front of It!"
Then they rolled across tho smooth
boulevard, nnd Cameron stopped at the
spring where everybody stops und gave
the child a drink of the refreshing
water. And then ns tho afternoon was
fast waning, they turned toward her
home,
"Yes," Bhe said as Cameron carefully
placed hor back In her chair ut tho win
dow, "I am a llttlo tired, but It's tho
kind of tired that does you good, you
know. And, oh, I've got something: to
remember now! Wasn't It heavenly?"
"I can't come again tomorrow," said
Cameron, "for I must go out of town,
but I'll bo here the next day. And on
Sunday, if you like, we'll go up nnd
steal tho doctor and tako him along to
a picnic out on tho lake shore, with a
big basket of good things to cat and a
hammock when you arc tired nnd just
nothing to do but loaf and rest."
"Oh, my!" cried' the child in an ec
stasy. "But I'm almost sorry you told
me. Detween thlnkln' of what I've
seen I'll get nil mixed up."
On the wny back Cameron caught
sight of the young doctor as the latter
turned to enter his office.
"Hello, Cameron," he laughingly
cried. "How are the symptoms?"
"Abating."
"Trying my proscription?"
"Yes."
They both laughed.
"By the way," said the young doc
tor, "Alma Grayling Is home. Havo
you seen her?"
"No," replied Cameron shlrtly. "Good
night." The young doctor looked after him
and softly whistled.
So the weekB sped away, and almost
every pleasant afternoon Cameron took
tho child for a ride. Nothing could do
her so much good, tho doctor said, and
her appearance was certainly 'greatly
Improved. And Cameron enjoyed these
little journeys. It was a pleasure to
him to know that he was doing good,
Tho child's lively prattle entertained
him, and her patience and cheerfulness
wer a constnnt lession.
One afternoon she gave him a great
surprise.
"I had a caller this morning," she
said. "A lady, and she knows you. A
beautiful lady, who came In a fine car
riage and wears such lovely clothes and
has music in her voice. And what do
you think? Sho cried over me! She
cried over me! Wasn't that silly?"
"A lady?" repeated Cameron.
"Yes, a lady; a real lady, just like the
ones wo see In the park, only much
nicer. And she brought mo some rose
buds, and I hid 'em under the table
'cause I thought you'd be jealous. And
she brought me some white grapes, and
I put a paper over them 'cause I knew
you'd eat them."
And she laughed merrily.
"What did the lady say?" inquired
Cameron softly.
"She listened most of the time," re
plied the child. "And I told her all
about you. How kind you'd been and
how gentle, and how you wasn't a bit
too proud to go riding with a shabby
little girl like me. And she nodded and
said pride was a hateful thing, and
that some people made themselves and
other people very unhappy because
they were proud and foolish. And
when people set themselves up to judge
other people they often made bad mis
takes and were sorry for it. That's
what she said."
"Is Is that al she said?" Cameron
asked.
The girl looked up at him with a
quick smile.
"She said you must bring me to her
house very soon, because she wanted to
get acquainted with me. But, really,"
said the child, "I think it was you she
wants to see. And, oh, yes,vhe name Is
Alma."
"Alma," murmured Cameron, and
was silent for a moment. "Wo will go
there to-morrow," he said.
It might have been a week later that
ho met the doctor.
"Doc," he said, "I want to thank you
for that prescription."
"Tardy gratitude," grumbled the
other. But Cameron did not heed him.
"You understood my case exactly,"
ho went on. "And now I want to say
to you that I never felt better or hap
pier or more ambitious in all my eight
and twenty years.
"Good," said the doctor and they
gravely shook hands. W. R. Rose in

GREAT CROWDS
IN THEATRES
AI.Ii OP THEM TILLED AT BOTH
PERFORMANCES.
The Audiences Were of the Usual
Holiday Character They Wont to
Enjoy tho Entertainment Offered
nnd Proceeded to Do So "Our Now
Minister" Wno tlio Attraction at
tho Lycaum Wine, Women and
Soug Company Openod Its Engage
ment nt the Star.
Not often have the Scranton theatres
contained such immense crowds ns
they did yesterday. Afternoon and
night performances wore given at all
four of tin city's theatres and the late
comers who had not provided them
selves with tickets in advance had to
bo satisfied with standing room nnd if
they camo particularly late wero at
some of the theatres denied admittance
for the reason that oven standing room
could not be had.
The audiences were jovial, merry and
not too critical. Any actor who had
anything even possibly good to offer
was sure of a veryheartynpproval. Tho
attractions at all of tho theatres were
of a nature that merited the success
that attended their presentation.
"Our New Minister nt Lyceum.
"Our New Minister," which was seen
by delighted audiences at tho Lyceum
yesterday afternoon and night, Is a play
of character studies, very faithfully
drawn, and presented with a realism
truly startling at times. It was writ
ten by Denman Thompson and George
W. Ryer and tho scene is laid In New
England, In the hard, close-listed com
munity of Hardscrabble, where life and
religion are very serious matters in
deed. Tho advent of a new minister of
liberal and progressive ideas, who cares
little for rellgous forms and everything
about tho kind of lives Ills parishioners
lead, causes a big social and religious
convulsion In the little commmunty and
calls Into action the characters of thu
play. There is Darius Startle, a coun
try detective, most admirably played by
Joseph Conyers; Obadlah Blurtou, a
hard-hearted old skin-flint, who is un
alterably opposed to what he calls,
"the new-fangled" religious ideas of
the young minister, and who was por
trayed with wonderful vividness by
Louis Fierce. Other fine character bits
wero contributed by Henry R. Scott as
Sylvanus Bartlett, a country store
keeper; John Barker, as Curt Holten,
who has the religion of humanity; John
P. Brawn, as "Skeezlcks," with a
wonderful line of modern slang, and
Mrs. George W. Barnum as Dorcas Tat
tleby, the gossip and general disturber
of the village.
Charles Stedman did splendid work as
Lem Ransom, the reformed convict;
John Tenis, as Thaddeus Strong, tho
new minister, and Ethel Brooke Fergu
son as Nance Ransom. The story of
the play is strong and interesting, and
the play is staged with great attention
to detail.
At the Academy.
At the Academy of Music today, two
of the strongest plays in tho repertoire
of the Chester DeVonde Stock company
will be repeated by request. Matinee,
"Tho Bond of Honor"; night, "Ten
Ton Door."
"Wine, Women and Song."
A burlesque company of unusual
strength opened a three days' engage
ment at the Star yesterday afternoon.
It Is M. M. Theise'3 "Wine, Women'
nnd Song" Company and one of the
best that has been seen here.
In tho olio is a great 'cycle act by
the three Armstrongs who do all of
the stunts of the usual trick riders and
several that have not heretofore been
seen heie. Bonlta and her dusky as
sistants sang a number of coon ditties
and were rewarded by tho most clam
orous demands for more. Mark Ben
nett and Albert. L. Rich havo a unique
singing act and Edward and Josle
Evans do a juvenile comedy act that
found great favor with yesterday's
audiences. The olio concluded with il
lustrated songs by Miss Alice Chcslyn.
The performance openeU with "The
Tuxedo Cadets," and concluded with
"A Glimpse of Stngeland," light and
airy tiilles In- which are introduced
many of the popular songs of the day.
The company will be nt the Star for
the remainder of the week, afternoons
and nights.
Andrew Mack To-night.
Tho Lyceum will present as its at
traction to-night a young star who
has gained enormous following among
the theatre-goers of this city, his every
appealing being better, which speaks
very highly of the work of Andrew
Mack, the handsome young actor In
question, who Is to appear In a new
play entitled, "Tho Bold Soger Boy,"
a comedy-drama with military sur
roundings which was written by Theo
dore Burt Suyre expressly to lit the
peculiar capabilities of Mr. Mack, who
has for the past seven or eight seasons
been representing straight Irish com
edy and dramas, "The Bold Soger
Boy," will naturally conio under the
heading of an Irish pluy, owing to tho
fact that Mr, Mack will bo seen as an
Irishman, but here thu resemblance
ceases.
The character as played by Mr. Stack
will bo 'that of a young Lieutenant of
tho United States artillery, a young
Irishman who had enlisted ns a pri
vate, but whoso bold deeds of bravery
upon tho llelds of Cuba and tho Phil
ippine Islands havo caused his pro
motion, which Is very natural, as wo
find lots of Irish with Irish Americans
whoso duty has not been forgotten by
tho Mother country, and who are In
lino for further promotions.
"San Toy" Tomorrow,
The Aueustln Daly Musical company
comes to tho Lyceum next Saturday
mutlnee and night In "San Toy," the
Chinese-English musical comedy as it
Is called, although It Is quite preten
tious enough In tunefulness to deserve
the name of comlo oper.i.
"San Toy" Is tho work of five auth
ors. The book was w'Htten )y Edward
Morton, the lyrics by Percy dreen
bauk nnd Adrian R033 and tho music
by Sydney Jones and Lionel Mouckton,
oil loya subjects of King Edward.
The story Is a dainty one and while
not very complex It has been sufficient
for the authors to havo strung togeth
er u jot of amusing incidents and to
permit the Introduction of much
catchy music. The company Is in most
respects the same as that seen here be-
