JUDITH vs.
THE WOLF
By MARY C. FRANCIS
Copyright, 1906, by E. S. McClure
"Forty-live cents from sl. 55 cents.
This is your change, sir. Haven't you
anything less than a twenty for this
twenty-live cent check? Oh, yes; I can
change it, Mr. Lauderdale."
The cashier opened a small drawer
and begau quickly to finger the bills
with an experienced air, though her
trembling fingers evinced her nervous
ness.
The youug man at the window cast
a comprehensive glance around. The |
rush hour was about over, and only
stragglers were at their late lunch. lie
pressed close to the window and eager- |
ly eyed the girl within, his bold, ad- |
miring look taking In the smooth, (shin- |
lug braids of hair, the sensitive mouth, j
the downcast eyes fluttering under the ;
long lashes.
"Judith," he said In a low tone, "come
down to the beach with me tonight
and see the new show open, and we
will have a late supper and come back !
on the boat."
A deep flush mounted to Judith's
forehead. She laid bills and silver
change on the little marble counter and
shoved them toward him without look
ing up.
"Ten, five, two twotf and 75 cents.
No, thank you, Mr. Lauderdale."
"Why, not, Judith?"
Hie girl cast a hurried glance around,
as If looking for help. The giggling of
the girls at their lunch near her desk
came to her, and she knew that the
proprietor was observing it all under
ills discreetly lowered eyelids only a
few feet away. Judith's heart gave a
great thump. Then she looked square
ly at her tormentor and said:
"Mr I-auderdale, I will not go out
with you, and you know It. Please do
uot ask me again "
A half sneer crept up under the in- j
slnuatiug suille of the man. "Oh, cer- j
talnly, Miss Moore. I beg your pardon
for presuming to nsk you to take a lit

tie outing Most girls would be glad
to have 6oniH fresh ulr on a moonlight
night, but you are different."
With a languid and disengaged man
ner he swept up the money, lifted his
hat with the air of saluting a grando
dame and. nodding familiarly to the
proprietor, went out, his handsome,
well groomed figure followed by admir
ing glances from the giggling girls.
"Jude's g.>t the boss mash, but she
doesn't know it." said one. "(jot that
secondhand look lately, and Keeker's
getting tired of her airs. She'll lie
without a Job one of these fine morn
lugs If she keeps It up."
"Sure," said a girl with a chorus
bang, "and you'll be It, Mayme."
"Well, if I do Ray It myself, I'll
know my business better than Jude.
This thing of feeling above your sta
tion when you're nothing but a cashier
in a restaurant doesn't go Of course
they do say that"— She leaned for
ward and whispered diligently.
Judith mechanically counted out the
change for two young fellows, who
gayly passed the time of day with her.
They were followed by a middle aged
woman with a sweet, womanly face,
who laid down the exact amount of her
check. Judith looked at her with n
faint smile.
"Ah, Mrs. Thompson, you are the
only one who comes In here who never
has to have change."
"You need every moment you can
get." She paused and scanned th«
girl's face with gentle solicitude. 'You
•re overworked, my dear. Ycd need
rest. Do you get enough recreation?"
"Yes; oil, yes!" stammered Judith. "I
—I go out quite often."
The woman looked unconvinced. "I'm
going away today for my vacation, and
I wish you were going too. Take all
the care you can of yourself during
this heat. Goodby."
Judith leaned back, deathly pale. The
one friend she had In the city, even
though she did uot know her address,
was leaving town. Iler heart died
within her. Why had Gordon never
answered her last letter? Why had
the loss of her money so suddenly
changed h's love? Was It a year or a
hundred y< irs ago that she was to
have been his wife? The burning of
the flics <c «med like the beating of
drums In 'IP ears, aud as If In a dream
•he p-.srcl the change to a stout, red
face' s an iVttiu/h to his Jo
cose ..-marks on the heat.
Becker came ut» an 1, leaning against
the counter aud paring his nails, said;
"So you want to get off for dinner
and an evening down at Coney, I sup
pose Eh, Jude?"
Judith felt her throat grow dry. "No.
Mr. Becker," she said.
The proprietor tapped his knife on
the desk in front of her. "Look here,
Jude. I want to tell you plainly that
you're too glum lately. I wish you'd
get that graveyard look off your face.
Of course it's all right for you not to
run around with the married men. but
look at all the swell fellows you've
turned down. Grant Lauderdale and
Dick Tracy are good enough for any
girl Now, don't be a clam any longer,
for, ou the level, I can't stand for so
much falling off in looks. It looks as
If I didn't feed you."
That night, alone In her little room,
Judith reviewed the situation. She felt
as If one year In New York had cost
her her youth and all her happiness.
With her father dead and her little
fortune swept away, she had to keep
the wolf from the door. Poverty snap
ped at her heels like a hungry cur
whenever her streugth faltered, and
•he felt as If she could scarcely go on
so. "Oh, Cordon, Gordon!" she cried
in agony until, falling asleep from
sheer exhaustion, she dreamed, and in
her dreams Gordon Itussell came to
her held her in his arms and kissed
her.
When she awakened it was later than
usual. She dressed in fear and trem
bling and hastened to the restaurant,
determined to retrieve herself with the
proprietor.
All day she nerved herself and sue
eeeded bravely until, in the last dull
half hour bet ore supper. Grant Lauder i
dale came in with another man. Ju
dith's head swam. Why was he there?
Would he see her? Presently they
came toward the desk. Judith's eyes
were fastened on one face. He did net
look at her. being accosted by another
man. Grant Lauderdale, for the first
time, laid the exact change for the
check on the desk before her, and the
two men passed out. Neither had look
ed at her.
When she became conscious in the
little cage Becker and two of the girls
were looking at her curiously. They
were fanning her and holding smelling
salts to her nose. She looked around
wildly. Becker pressed an envelope in
to her hand.
"You'd better not come back tomor
row." he said.
Judith heard the wolf. "Am 1 dis
charged?" she asked.
"Well, no, not exactly. But we won't
need so many girls for awhile, and
you'd better take a rest."
It was an hour before she was able
to go; then, refusing offers of com
pany. she started out alone. Every
thing was a blank. She walked along
unseeing. Then suddenly trucks, cars
and automobiles confused her. Sho ,
stood still, started forward, swerved
and fell.
Again she dreamed, the same beauti- |
fill. Impossible dream, and Gordon was
holding her hand and saying: "It has
been so long, darling. If 1 only had
known! All this time 1 have been
looking for you. 1 got no word, knew
nothing, heard nothing, until an hour
after I left the restaurant this after- ,
noon, and Grant Lauderdale mentioned
your name, and I went back to look
for you."
Judith sat up and looked around.
"Where am I?" she asked.
"In the hospital, dear, but you won't
have to stay here long."
"Gordon! Gordon! Oh, am I dream
ing again?"
"Sweetheart, this Is no dream. I
have found you at last!"
Feared Left Handed Shave.
"I said my prayers this morning for
the first time In several moons," said
the sporty looking man."l had been
brought into that devout frame of mind
by a left handed barber. He shaved
me. I had had left handed people do
everything else to me, like bluing my
shoes, brushing my clothes and even
cheating me at cards, but never before
had I seen one of the left handed fra
ternity manipulate the razor. The fel
low scared me half to death. He saw
that I was afraid of him.
" "It's all right,' he assured me. I
know my business.'
"And he did. Nevertheless, I don't
want to try him again. The strain is
too hard on my nerves. Every time he
whisked the razor around anywhere
near the jugular vein I prepared to
yield up the ghost. However, nothing
happened except that he finished tue ]
off looking more beautiful than I evet
looked in my life, but for all that I'd
rather peg along with only my ordinary
share of good looks than to experience
another such a set of thrills at his ■
hands." —New York Press.
A Brief I'arnhle.
A certain man carried a sack con
taining a heavy burden, and he had
borne it many weary days.
Then as he journeyed the angel of
knowledge came to him and spoke to
him, saying:
"What dost thou carry?"
And the man replied, "It Is t heavy,
heavy burden."
"Of what does the burden consist?'
the angel asked.
"Of my worries," the man made an !
swer.
Then the angel smiled pityingly upoi !
the man and said:
"Let us look into the bundle of thj
worries."
And they looked, aud, 10, even a» thej
looked the contents of the sack dwin
dled Into nothingness.
For when the angel of knowledg»
teaches a man to look aright he per- j
celve* that his worries are but tiny and
useless things and the burden of them I
grows Inconceivably light.—San Fran
cisco Call.
SELLING GOODS.
The Method* That I.ead to Success la
Business Life.
When a customer comes In, don't,
whatever you do, drag yourself out of
the chair BB though you were disturbed
from a rest, but Jump up and greet her
or him as though you were really
glad to wait on them. Act so they will
ask for you the next time they come j
to the store. The salesman who Is
constantly being asked for by cus
tomers never has to worry about a
Job.
Don't be stiff and act or feel as
though you were far the mental su
perior of the customer. If you do, no
sale will result.
Just for the sake of argument, let us
take all the successes In your city, no i
matter what line they are In. Do they
advertise?
The public, somehow or other, seem
to be able to read between the lines, j
If your ad. is not truthful they will not j
respond.
It take« more than a mere cut to at
tract the eye to make your ad. pay.
There must be solid, honest store news
of good valuefe behind It.
Never underrate the Intelligence of
your customer. He may know more
about the article you are showing than
you do.
Post yourself on every article you
are expected to sell, so you can talk
convincingly and knowingly. That Is
what sells goods convincing talks.
Never mind the price; that will take
care of Itself Brains.
Wbr Prussia 1M SO Called.
The modern name of Prussia Is de
rived from Borussi, or I'orussi, who
conquered the country about 320 B. O.
Little is known concerning Prussia and
its people till the tenth century except
that that portion of the Baltic shore
which is now included In the kingdom
of Prussia was formerly inhabited by
Slavonic tribes akin In customs and
languages to the Lithuanians. They
came In occasional collision with wavs
after wave of the great Teutonic race
as It flowed down from the icy north,
receiving theli first knowledge of Chris
tianity from Bishop Adalbert of Prague,
whom they martyred In 997. In the
middle of the thirteenth century the
Teutonic knights, on their return from
the crusades, undertook the conquest
and conversion of Prussia. The Borus
sla element mingled with ihe followers
of the Teutonic knights, and conse
quently with the Poles.
ENFORCING j
THE LAW
By LOUISE J. STRONG
Copyright, 1906, by K. C. Parcelis
Old Ned started and cast an Injured,
reproachful glance back at his mis
l tress.
"There, Neddy; there!" she apolo
gized. "I didn't really mean to strike
| you. but I'm that worried in mind—
what are we g"ing to do, with your
| youug master gone, I'd like to know!"
She gazed with wet eyes across the
meadow, where the "young master,"
her only child, and she a widow, was
at work with the hired man. He
waved his hand In response to her slg
i nal, and her grief overflowed, antlcl
pating the bla.U loncl:ne-s that would
be hers when the far est had swal
lowed up her boy. victim of a girl's
i weakness and her father's obstinacy.
"Mi, why did he set his heart upon
! that spiritless Lizzie < lark when there
j are so many girls just as pretty and
i every bit as good?" she groaned.
She had put the question to her son,
and he had answered by a look only,
but a look that somehow entirely pre

vented the llow of argument and per
suasion with which she had hoped to
convince him.
She knew well that had he but Imag
ined the errand upon which she was
bent now he would have hastened, with
shocked celerity, to frustrate It.
Mrs. Baker ordinarily would not
have meddled with the youug folks'
love affairs, but she could not let her
son become a disappointed world wan-
I derer without making every possible
! effort to avert it. If Lizzie Clark were
the cable indispensable to anchoring
him to his home, Lizzie Clark he must
have—the girl must see that herself.
She was certainly very pretty and
attractive, Mrs. Baker admitted to her
j self as Lizzie greeted her somewhat
shyly, and there was a wistful appeal
In the sad eyes and sweet face that In
dicated plainly that she was unhappy.
"As she deserves to be If she will not
assert herself and marry Andy, whether
Seth Clark consents or not!" was Mrs.
Baker's rather vindictive Inward com
nient.
"Are you going to drive my boy away
from me and drag me In sorrow to the
I grave?" she demanded dramatically,
I unconscious that her blooming person-
I allty was in ludicrous contrast to such
a dire possibility.
"Oh, Mrs. Baker, what can I do?"
Lizzie quavered.
"Do! You can spunk up! Y'ou are of
age. I came on purpose to take you
away, and you and Andy will be mar
] rled before anybody can interfere and
! prevent It."
"Did-did Andy send you?" Lizzie
I panted, pale and frightened. "I won
der at it, for he knows 1 cannot do It
j while father Is so set against It. Did
Andy send you?"
"Andy thinks you love him a great
deal more than you do, I fear. But you
can easily prove your love. Come, just
| take the matter In your own hands.
I It's the only way."
"How can I? Father never would
come to see me nor let me come home,"
Lizzie wailed. "I can't, Mrs. Baker, I
can't!"
"Well, you'd have Andy, wouldn't
you, and »l>e happy, wouldn't you?
Why should you care what your fa
ther did?" Mrs. Baker argued, forget
ting that children usually have some
j affection for their parents and that
other parents besides herself might
wish to keep their children.
"Y'es, I'd have Andy," a tender bloom
flooding her face, "but, Mrs. Baker,
don't you think children care at all for
I their parents? Father Is hard about
| this, but he always has been the best
| father a girl ever had. I love him. I
| couldn'-t be happy for thinking of him
j here alone and miserable. We are
young, Andy and I. We can wait. And
j I'm hoping Andy will not go away
: when lie realizes how it will grieve
you."
Mrs. Baker was touched, and in her
1 heart she approved. She said no more,
j but kissed the girl suddenly and went
out. But she was not going home yet.
j She would see Seth Clark and present
i him with her opinion of his conduct,
! spite of bluff and blifster.
She asked no questions as to his
| whereabouts. If he was on the farm
| she would locate him. Finally she
found him on top of a shed back of the
barn nailing down shingles She stood
uud watche*' hi energetic movements
a few ion i-nts. seeing things which
s- 'tiled o fir back in her life that
they seemed to belong to another age.
"Conic down here, Seth Clark. I
want to tall: to you," (-he ordered at
lengili.

I prised, having been observing her out
I of the t::il of his eye.
"Yes, ~r knife to knife, just as you

"Why, Is lie ailing?" He m in :ed to

"Well, 1 h : ii to want my Lizzie,
I and I happen not to want your Andy,"
he explaiue
"You arc making her wretched and
driving in > b>;. away from mine!"
j She caught her breath and bit her lip.
! She would > •( cry before Seth Clark.
"They'll both get over it,"he com
mented easily as he slid to the ground.
"Other folks have been disappointed
in not having what they wanted most
I ind got over it—or stood up uuder St
anyway—didn't let ft spoil their lives
and go whining around the rest of
their natural span." He regarded her
with pointed accusation.
She flushed uncomfortably, and some
of those thing- which had seemed so
far, far back suddenly confronted her
very closely indeed. Sin- felt dubious.
Perhaps sin- bad better have gone home
after all.
"Well, 1 can't see the sense in mak
ing the children miserable," she re
marked lamely, breaking an awkward
pause.
"There's a certain old law that says,
"The sins of the fathers shall be visited
upon the children.' Isn't this an occa
sion where it can be Justly enforced?"
he questioned sternly
"You—you mean"- she hesitated in
quiringly.
"I mean that Andrew Baker robbed
me of my wife that should have been,
and Andrew Baker's son shall not rob
me of my daughter."
She looked astonished and burst out
Indignantly "Andrew Baker wouldn't
take 'No' for an answer. lie he kept
on and kept on till 1 just couldn't say
it again, especially as" — Iler voice
trailed out.
"Oh!" he exclaimed in a tone indica
tive of sudden, amazed enlightenment,
staring at her as if faraway things
had unexpectedly confronted him also.
"And I flared up and stalked off for
good, my dignity terribly Insulted by
the little negative. I was as conceited
as a turkey cock and stupid as-a pig!"
He chewed a straw and ruminated
lengthily In a speaking silence.
"But Lizzie and I were happy j
enough," he observed presently, with '
apparent Irrelevance. "She was a good j
woman, and little Lizzie is Just like j
her."
"Andrew Baker was as good as the
best, and I was happy with him!" she
bristled. "And my Andy Is like his |
father."
"Maybe Lizzie didn't try him with a :
'No.' But he's up against her dad's
'No' all right. I'm not going to be rob
bed twice. Still"— lie contemplated her
downcast face, and his own softened.
He turned ills back and unconsciously
whistled a few bars of an old love song
they used to sing together.
"Look here, Josle Ingals Baker, I've
never been friendly with you since,
else I'd found out before now that
things you've thought dead can come
to life. I guess things can be fixed for
the children provided Look here, I'm
going to ask that question again, and j
I'm not going to take 'No' for an an
swer this time! I'll ask it every time
and everywhere I see you. Josle, will
j you marry me?"
She twisted her lingers in embarrass
ment, looking absurdly like the old
time Josie to his partial eyes, and fal- |
tered:
"Well, of of course, if you won't
take 'No!"'

One elephant which an officer of the
it >yal artillery lent to assist In extri
eating some camels which were being
engulfed In the quicksands showed an
amount of sagacity which was positive
ly marvelous. It was with the utmost
difficulty that we could get him togo
near enough to attach it drag rope to
one camel 1 wanted to rescue. In spits
of our being about fifty yards from tt.c
bank of the river, he evinced the great
est anxiety, while his movements were
made with extreme caution.
Despite oaxing, persuasive remon
strance and fit last a shower of heavy
blows dealt upon his head by the exas

bornly refused togo where he wr.f
wanted, but with his trunk shoved ou
in front of him kept feeling his way
with his ponderous feet, placing them
before him slowly, deliberately and me
thodically, treacling till the while with
the velvety softness of a cat and tak
ing only one step at a time. Then sud
denly he would break out Into a sup
pressed kind of shriek and retreat
backward in great haste.
When the animal had nearly complet
ed a ciii ult of the ground with the
same canine and deliberation, he ad
vanced to wTihin ten yards of the poor
camel, but not an itlier inch would he

So long as the weight of the steel or

WHAT SHE PLAYED.
Tlie I.nut >lu«le That Theodore Thorn*
i»* Heard on Kartli.
During the last illness of Theodore
Thomas, although he was not at any
time unconscious or delirious, he hard
ly noticed the members of his family
a - tli y came and went tit the bedside.
Hut one morning lie seemed to be bet
ter.
1-e made little jokes with the doctors
and hi» sons and talked about bis
White mountain home. At 12 o'clock
lie seemed tired. The editor of his
autobiography says that lie sank into
a dr iniy state.and then roused liirn
-elt to say to his wife in a lingering,
ecstatic voice:
1 have had a beautiful vision—a
beautiful vision!"
Hu n he drifted off into silence.
I lis wife thought he was tired and
went downstairs to luncheon, but chief
ly with the purpose of leaving him to
re-i. He had given her a chime of
h'-iN. to be used in summoning the
i.. ; \ to tii .il-. and because of his
iHi they had never been rung In the
house. Now, because he seemed so
iiiti Ii better, she played on them a lit
tle bugle call that came into her head.

means of bol pinchers, which, while
they compress, soften the opposed edge

-mall fragments, are put Into molds
and subjected to the action of boiling
water and thus made Into plates of the
desired thickness or into various arti

THE DAINTY WASP.

"Wasps are exceedingly daiuty lii
their habits," says a writer iu the Pil
grim, "and, in order that ihey may
gratify their instinct for neatness to the
utmost, nature has provided them with
a set of marvel'>u:-ily delicate combs
and brushes. If we look closely at the
wasp's legs we will find that each bears
mi Its outermost long joint two small,
movable spines, known as the apical
spurs, and if we examine these with a
magnifying glass each Is seen to be
provided with a row of fine teeth, so
that the apparatus answers for a coarse
and fine i xithed comb.
"The tidying up process consists of
various perfectly definite steps, usually
Liking pla -c in a particular sequence.
First, it passes both front legs over the
face from above downward, and after
repeating this movement several times
draws thi in through the Jaws. This Is
to remove any foreign substance which
may have collected on them. The legs
; arc then passed backward from the
; forehead, much as we should smooth
j back our hair. The wings are then
i stroked again and again from the base
to the tip, although the most careful ob
server would fail to detect anything
! upon then. The abdomen is next care
| fully stroked from base to tip until
: every hair points iu the right direction
and a uloss as fine as satin is attained,
i Last of all, c :-!i of the six legs, in turn,
is laboriously drawn between two of its
fellows, so the wasp is once more ready
to face its world."
rtuHfr Knxenren.
To extract the essence from any
i flower place a layer of the tiowers In
; a clean earthen pot and over them n
! layer of fine salt. Repeat the process
until the pot is filled, cover closely
and place in the cellar. Forty days
afterward strain the essence from the
whole" through a crape by pressure
l'ut the essence thus expressed In a
clear bottle and expose for six weeks
In the rays of the sun and evening
dew to purify. One drop of this es
sence will communicate Its odor to a
pint of water.

"Mrs. Guschley remarked to me that
It must be pleasant to be married to a
clever man," said Proudley's wife.
"And what did you say?" queried
I'roudley.
"I told her. of course, that I didn't
know; that I had only been married
once."
