' Cow shust vait und see how I do.

for tape. The young man was all at

'Why, 1 saw some for eight cents.'
'1 don't doubt id, madam, but dot

The Bishop's
Impromptu
By E. E. GARNETT
j Co/tyrivlit, 190/,, by K. E. (iamett
"Whatever possessed you," said Miss
Cordelia, "to quarrel with her?"
"I didn't. She quarreled with me."
"Don't be an Adam."
Bert Ignored the case of Adam. "If
I could see her alone," he said gently—
M alone accidentally."
"Accidentally, of course. That's where
I come in?"
"Why not?"
"Because I am on her side."
"But so," radiantly, "am I, always
on her side."
"Oh, Indeed!"
"Miss Cordelia, she sent me her ring
with a note saying she
her mind. I can't go cringing after
that, can I? But accidentally"—
"Why," interrupted Miss Cordelia,
"did she change her mind?"
"Some law of the fourth dimension
may explain."
"You've no guess?"
"Well," protested Bert, "a man can't
be an Egyptian mummy just because
he's engaged."
"I see. And I don't see any hope for
you."
"Then I'm sorry to be a nuisance.
Miss Cordelia, but," settling himself
like a rock, "I must stay until she
comes. She comes often, doesn't she?"
Miss Cordelia began to laugh. "Why,"
she asked, "don't you write to her?"
"I want to be sure that she cares
before— well, one doesn't like to be a
hound dog for nothing."
"And how will you be made sure?"
"Oh, the minute I see her."
"It must be delightful," Miss Cor
delia remarked pleasantly, "to be a
mau."
"Oh, I'll know," said Bert, with gen
ial assurance, "and you'll help, and
then"— He stopped, with a sudden
flash of mischief In his eyes.
"And then?" Miss Cordelia leaned
toward him, with her own eyes twin
kling.
"Then I'll kidnap her!" cried Bert
and sprang to his feet. "If she cares,
Miss Cordelia, upon my soul, I'll kid
nap her."
"Oh, how young and silly!" said Miss
Cordelia and sighed.
"Listen. It's quite sensible," Bert
explained joyously. "The engagement
was talked about, you know. Every
one discovered it."
"Yes," assented Miss Cordelia and
smiled.
"Now the break is being talked
about, and little Nlxle, poor girl, hates
the whole business."
"It's quite Hkely," Miss Cordelia put
In dryly, "that she especially hates the
talk going on about you and that little
flirt Nellie Carl."
"That Isn't my fault. Anyway,"
with conviction, "this plan will make
everything right."
"Olt, indeed," repeated Miss Corde
lia.
"You see, after all she's been
through"—
"Exactly," Miss Cordelia putin, with
feeling.
"1 mean In the way of talk. She'll
hate to begin all over again."
"So"-
"So," beamingly, "we'll cut the thing
short."
"And I'm to furnish the knife?"
Bert gave her a nod. "It's great,"
he cried and made for the door. "I'll
see the bishop."
"Mercy on us!" protested Miss Cor
delia, but he only paused to make a
brief request.
"Miss Cordelia"—
"Oh, you silly boy!"
"Ask her to wear white."
"I dare say."
"I'll tell her the rest myself."
"And when," laghued Miss Cordelia,
"Is she to wear white?"
"Tonight, of course. You wouldn't
have me live through another day like
this V"
Miss Cordelia surrendered. "Come
to dinner," she told him. "Come early
—and—we'll see."
"It's great," said Bert aud was off.
Miss Cordelia began to feel a little
fluttered. She got Nixie on the tele
phone. Would Nixie come to dinner?
Nixie would be delighted to come.
"And 1 wish," called Miss Cordelia
next, "that you'd wear white, dear.
I—l like you in white."
"It's very fortunate, then, that I've
a new white silk," said Nixie.
Miss Cordelia chuckled. "Come ear
ly," she added. "lie sure to come ear
ly, and Nixie"—
"Yes."
"There's quite a snow beginning.
Wear that pretty, warm cloak of yours,
the long, fur lined one with the howl.
We're all going to a—a little impromp
tu at the bishop's and come back
supper." And then she fled out of
hearing.
Nixie dressed as desired and came
early.
"What sort of impromptu?" she ques
tioned brightly.
Miss Cordelia helped to unfasten the
fur cloak.
"It's a secret," she explained.
"Gracious, how funny! Does the
bishop know? Who knows?"
"Very few know," admitted Miss Cor
delia.
j "Mayn't I?" pleaded Nixie sweetly.
"Have a white dress and a cloak," smil
ing. "anything to do with it?"
Miss Cordelia suddenly kissed her.
"It's a beautiful secret. liert will tell
you, and you mustn't be angry, dear."
"Oh," said Nixie, and for an instant
the flash of battle was In her eyes,
"Mr. Bert Jordan is here?"
"You don't want to avoid him, do
you? finee every one knows you have
rejected the poor boy, 1 think," faltered
Miss Cordelia—"but I mustn't meddle—
I think you might show him a little
grace."
"How," Nixie questioned frostily,
"does any one know anything?"
"Oh, they look at Bert, I suppose,"
said astute Miss Cordelia. "Shall we
go down, dear?' %
They went down and found Mr. Jor- I
dan waiting. There was a white rose
bud in his coat, and he was rather
white himself, but a kind of smolder
ing tire was in his eyes.
"Will you show Nixie my new or
chids?" suggested Miss Cordelia. "1
must stay here to receive the other
guests. Aud, Bert, tell her about the
Impromptu -the bishop's impromptu."
Mr. Jordan bowed. Nixie led out
with a graceful nonchalance.
They at once forgot the new orchids,
though a whole end of the conservatory
was a cascade with their weird rain
bow bloom.
After a silent time Nixie pouted.
"You needn't sulk," she told him.
"I didn't mean to," Bert protested in
hurried meekness. "I was only anxious
about—about some roses that I've or
dered."
"Oh, indeed!" »
"Yes. I.was wondering If they'd get
to the bishop's In time."
"You and Miss Cordelia/' she re
market! sedately, "seein to have the
bishop's Impromptu quite weighing on
your minds."
"Oh, it's no great matter to her," said
Bert.
"But a great matter to you?"
"Well, they're- bride roses, you see."
"A wedding!" erled Nixie alertly.
"Was that what Mlaa Cordelia meant—
a wedding?"
"Yes," he admitted, ' l'.; ' 1* what she
meant." And he was white as his
rosebud. ,
She looked at him, and suddenly the
battle was again In her eyes.
"How stupid of me!" she said and
made a low bow to him. "Of course
only the bridegroom sends the bride i
roses. Allow me to congratulate you.
You've been breaking It to me gently— |
I am *o much obliged to you—that you
are the hnppv man."
It is my wedding." said Bert and
set his teeth.
"So kind of you to mention it. Has
Miss Carl come yet?"
"I don't know."
"Shouldn't you be finding out?"
But here there came a diversion—the
swish of skirts, with chatter and laugh
ter, going down the hall.
4 0h." said Nlxle, "they're going into
dinner."
Mr. Jordan gravely offered his arm.
The girl's lips quivered. She looked
up at him In swift appeal In the way
of the days before the quarrel.
"They'll all know," she faltered,
"that you've been telling me, and
they'll try not to stare and not to smile,
and it will be horrid, horrid!"
"Don't go," said Bert.
She gave a nervous laugh and slip
ped her hand within his arm, but he
stood still.
"We must go," she said and gave a
little pull and set her mouth In as firm
a line as she could. "It's too late not to."
"It's rather late to go." said Bert.
"They're all seated by now. If Miss
Cordelia has given us the places that
she used to give us"—
"We'll have to walk the whole length
of the table," broke In Nlxle and gave
a little sob. "I'll never forgive Miss
Cordelia—never. And where," sudden
ly drawing away from him, "Is Nellie
Carl?"
"I think," said Bert, astutely bend
ing his head to listen, "that they're
sending for us." Truly a stop came
down the hall.
"Oh," gasped Nlxle, "so they are!"
"Let's cut and run," said Bert.
In another Instant they had whisked
out among the stray flakes of the piaz
za. She leaned against one of the pil
lars. One hand in a hurried little flutter
of excitement went to her throat. The
other Bert held and felt it trembling.
"Come on,"he said, joyously facing
the snowy night, "come on!"
"Come where?" The dismay of it was
touching, but Bert laughed.
"To the bishop," he explained. "The
Impromptu."
"But I don't want togo there now."
"Why not? You always intended,
didn't you—to be married by the bish
op? Why not now?"
There was a pause, wherein vainly
through the darkness he tried to search
her face.
"Let me carry you to the sleigh,"
Bert entreated, "so that your little feet
will not get wet In the snow."
"Your sleigh Is waiting?"
"At the curb."
"And Nellie Carl?"
He laughed triumphantly and, snatch
ing her up In his arms, ran out Into the
street, and ready under the great fur
robes of tha sleigh was the hooded
cloak.
"How ever did Miss Cordelia guess?"
laughed Bert as he drew it about her.
"or did j'ou tell her?"
"You are two wicked plotters," re
turned Nixie indignantly. "I shall go
back to that dinner."
But the groom had stepped back from
the horse's head.
"It's great!" cried Bert, as they dash
ed down the street with the soft, cold
beat of the snow in their faces. "And
I can't stop the horse unless"—
"Well, unless?"
"Unless you want him stopped. Nix
ie."
"Do you know," asked Nixie demure
ly, "if either of us has told the bishop,
because it would not be respectful to
disappoint him?"
"But there's one thing, Nixie." This
somewhat later.
"Qh, is there?"
"You haven't your mind at all on Nel
He Carl, have you?"
"Well." said Nixie, and softly laugh
ed, "I don't see why you should kidnap
the wrong girl."
So they dashed on toward the bishop.

A Cruiiie of Toriolac Shell.
A curious relic of some historic Inter
est Is to be seen at Pnu, In the Basses
Pyrenees. Visitors are shown the bed
room of Jean d'Abret, wife of Anthony
of Bourbon, king of Navarre. Here in
the year 1553 her infant son was born,
who was lu after years King Ilenry
IV. of Navarre, and by the side of an
antlquo bedstead of richly carved wal
nut stands a most curious cradle of
tortoise shell about two feet long and
eighteen inches broad, in which the In
fant prince is said to have been laid at
his birth.
French Conceit.
Etleune Dumont, writing In tlie early
part of the last century, said: "The
prevailing character of the French is
that of conceit. Every member of the
assembly considered himself capable
of undertaking everything. I often
said that if you proposed to the first
hundred men you met in the streets of
Paris and to the same number in the
streets of London to undertake the
charge of the government ninety-nine
of them would accept In Paris and
ninety-nine would refuse In London."
The Tthetnn Conscience.
The Tibetans offer daily prayers for
the minute insects which they have
swallowed inadvertently in their meat
and drink, mid the formula Insures the
rebirth of these microbes in heaven.
Yet they eat meat freely and square
their conscience with their appetite by
the pretext that the sin rests with the
outcast assassin, the public butcher,
who will be born iu the next incarna
tion as some tantalized spirit or agon
ized demon. That, however, is his own
affair.

THE PERFECT NUMBER.
Front Time Immemorial Three Has
Had luuanal Siflrnlllcancc.
The perfect number of the Pythago
rean system, expressive of beginning,
middle and end, was the number three.
From time immemorial greater promi
nence lias been given to it than to any
other except seven. And as the symbol
of the Trinity its influence has waxed
more potent in recent times. It appears
over and over again in both the New
and Old Testaments. At the creation
of the world we find land, water and
sky, sun, moon and stars. Jonah was
three days and nights in the whale's
belly, Christ three days in the tomb.
There were three patriarchs, Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob. Abraham entertained
three angels. Job had three friends.
Samuel was called three times. Sam
son deceived Delilah three times.
Three times Saul tried to kill David
with a Javelin. Jonathan shot three ar
rows on David's behalf. Daniel was
thrown into a den of three lions be
cause he prayed three times a day.
Shadracli, Meshach and Abednego were
rescued from a tlery furnace. The
commandments of the Lord were de
livered on the third day. St. Taul
speaks of faith, hope and charity.
Three wise men came to worship
Christ with presents three. Christ
spoke three times to Satan when he
was tempted, lie prayed three times '
before lie was betrayed. Peter deuied \
him three times. lie suffered three
hours of agony on the cross. The su
perscription was in three languages, |
and three men were crucified. Christ j
appeared three times to his disciples i
and rose the third day. J
j Your Life
J Current.
The power that gives you
life and motion is the nerve
, force, or nerve fluid, located in
112 the nerve cells of the brain,
j and sent out through the
s nerves to the various organs.
If you are tired, nervous,
1 irritable, cannot sleep; have
headache, feel stuffy, dull and
melancholy, or have neuralgia,
rheumatism, backache, peri
odical pains, indigestion, dys
-1 pepsia, stomach trouble, or the
kidneys and liver are inactive,
your life-current is weak.
Power-producing fuel is need
ed ; something to increase nerve
energy—strengthen the nerves.
Dr. Miles' Restorative Ner
vine is the fuel you need. It
feeds the nerves,produces nerve
force, and restores vitality.
"When I began taking' Dr. Miles'
Restorative Nervine and Anti-Pain
Pills I was confined to my bed. I
had severe nervous spells, the result
of two years illness with malaria. I
gradually grew so weak that I wns
unable to sit up. The spells would
commence with cold chills, and I
would become weak and almost help
less. My circulation was poor. I
had doctored right along but grew
weaker and weaker. The Nervine
seemed to strengthen me right away
and my circulation was better. I have
taken In all seven bottles of the
Nervine, and I am entirely well."
ROSA E. WEAVER, Stuarts, la.
Dr. Miles' Nervine is sold by your
druggist, who will guarantee that the
first bottle will benefit. If It fails, he
will refund your money.
