Good Word for the Mule.
"A mule," says one army ollicer, In
singing Maud's praises, "Is most em
phatically not tin low-down, ornery
anhnal that she Is commonly supposed
to be. As far as strength, sure-footed-ness
and Maying power are concerned,
there Is no comparison between her
and n horse.
"I have never seen n mule rattled.
And let me tell you. their ears nre not
big for nothing. They hear the least
little sound and nre not backward In
lifting their voices nnd telling yon
about It. Tiny are Indispensable In
trench warfare."

It all began by Miss Vandervourt
happening to enter the pliyslclun'8 of
fice where Cellu was employed as sec
retary. At first the society younff
woman glanced carelessly at the little
figure seated before the mnhognny
desk, then her glunce changed to oue
of pleased recognition.
"Why, Cellu I" she exclaimed, "Who
would huve expected to find you
here!"
The doctor's young secretary re
turned the greeting coldly.
".My friends of a more prosperous
time have long ceased to 'expect' uuy
thing of me," she replied.
Hut Ml.su Vandervourt responded
frankly:
"That Is unfair of you, dear; you
yourself have been much to blame for
tho seemiiiK neglect. After your fa
ther's death you disappeared complete
ly. Kven the adoring Frank Kimball
was unable to obtain a clue to your
whereabouts."
Cella's face flamed.
"There was no reason," she an
swered slowly, "why Mr. Klnibnll
should have tried to 'locate me. Our
conditions had changed." Steadily her
clear, blue eyes looked Into those of
her former friend. "Father's Invest
ments had been unfortunate," said
Cellu. "I was left penniless, mid wus
obliged to seek work," A tremulous
sinllo curled her lip. "ou know, Jo
sephine, 'working girls' were not In
cluded In our circle."
"What nonsense!" Miss Vander
vourt promptly responded. "As if we
should have forgotten you, Cellu I To
make restitution for your ungenerous
suspicions you must (vine out and
pcnd tho week-end i4 'The Gables.' I
positively will tuke no refusal. Just
the old chosen few will be there, nnd
we shall all be so glud to have you."
Josephine's hand warmly clasped
hers, while quick tours filled tho sec
retary's eyes.
"I will come," she Impulsively
agreed. And when she adjusted her
hat luter, before the mirror, her cheeks
were glowing with a new nnd delicious
excitement. There was still more than
an hour before the shops would close
for the night, nnd she would have time
to select a new frock.
Silk wus out of the question ; crepe
also. Cella hopefully made her way
across the department store show
room to a swinging ruck where, be
neath a sign printed "$15.00," organdie
gowns were displayed. Kagerly she
swung the rack about. Various pinks,
greens and blues were discarded, and
then the little ru filed dress came Into
view. Of softest gray It was, bluo rib
bons quaintly woven among Its frills.
Cellu sighed In admiration.
"Just the thing!" she confided to
the saleswoman. "Huve you my size?"
Thoughtfully she considered. "I will
huve tho dress charged," said Cellu.
"The frock will he chnrged to your
account, mndume," she announced.
Colin smiled at her own reflection
when arrayed for the week-end party,
the elect was so visibly charming.
Frank Klmltall was evidently not
slow In recognizing this fuct; neither
hud absence nor the determined aloof
ness of his one-time sweetheart
chunged his affection.
Persistently he Ignored her forbid
ding manner and plead his own
cause.
"What sort of n mnn did you take
me for," he accused.
"It's no use, Frank," she said decid
edly. "I have thought the thing out.
If you hud really tried to find me at
first"
" "Tried!" exclaimed tho young man,
exasperated.
Hut Cellu rode back alone In Jo
sephine's carriage to the boarding
house she called home, nnd there were
tears on tho milled dress that night 09
she folded It away. Then, after a dull,
lonely month, when Frank Kimball's
repeated telephone calls were discour
aged, came an astounding bill from
the great store that was his father's.
Cellu gasped at It In dismay, but In
stinctively reullzed Its Import. A ter
rible mistake had been made In the
price of tho quaint organdie dress nnd
she was chaYged for fifty dollars.
Wearily she went to tho ales
woman. "So sorry you misunderstood," said
that person. "Some one must have
slipped the dress on tho wrong rack.
Mr. Woods!" she called sympathetical
ly, nnd before Cella realized she was
being escorted by that gentleman to
tho mnnuger's otllce.
"It really Is not remedial." Cella ex
plained, "The dress has been worn."
Hut the courteous Mr. Woods placed
a chair for her In the manager's office.
When Cellu looked up again Frank
Klnibnll stood staring down upon her.
"You, Cella I" be exclaimed. "Great
Scott I Woods has been telling me of
your your "
"It Is nothing," she answered firmly,
nnd arose to go.
"I beg your pardon," Frank Insisted.
"The mistake Is entirely our own. The
frock should bnve been upon Its own
hunger. You will bo chnrged fifteen
dollar."
"I shall pay," Cella started out
bravelythen her voice faltered
"fifty dollars," she added faintly.
Then, In one quick, breathless mo
ment she was swept from her feet
straight Into her lover's nrms.
"In just as short a time as It takes
to get It," snld Mr. Frank Kimball, "we
shft'l necure a license, and you and I
will V married. I won't stand ft
chance of losing yon again."
One Secure. ,
"There may be meat and egg nnd
milk trusts, hut there never could be
a successful vegetable trust."
"Why not?"
"Because there would be sure to be
a leek In It somewhere."
