; LISETTE'S MISTAKE.
By HELEN FORREST GRAVES.
RIA
«Of course I shall not marry him!”
said Lisette Norman, haughtily.
I~ Lisette was just the kind of girl up-
n whom a little hauteur sits with not
unbecoming grace; tall, well-developed
and featured like a Greek statue.
. Ernestine Grey, blue-eyed and soft-
voiced, was as unlike her as possible,
‘as she sat there, her delicate cheeks
flushed and her restless fingers work-
ing nervously at the fringe of her scar-
let shawl.
ft “But why not, Lisette?” she asked,
timidly. “He is noble, refined, well-
educated—all that a man should be in
this exacting age of the world.”
b “In short,’ laughed Lisette, mocking-
ly, “he is a perfect gentleman. Why
don’t you say so, Ernestine, and done
with it. I do believe youre in love
with Henry March yourself.”
Ernestine’'s face grew as scarlet as
her shawl.
“I respect and admire him, Lisette,”
she said; ‘a woman may do that with
reference to any man.”
| “So do I respect and admire him,”
laughed Lisette, mockingly.
| “Then why do you refuse him?”
I* «grnestine,” said Lisette, proudly,
“do you think I would marry a carpen-
ter? Are you mad enough to im-
agine for a sinzle instant that I would
become the wife of a common me-
chanic? No, indeed! When I marry
it will be to elevate myself in the so-
‘cial scale, not to sink among the pleb-
ian herd.”
1 “Lisette,” pleaded Ernestine, “1
think you are wrong. It is the man
you marry, not his social position or
rank.”
“They can hardly be dissociated.”
“But, Ligette, went on Ernestine, “1
have not given credence to the report
up to this time, but people say you are
receiving the addresses of Mr. St. Ar-
mand.”
“Well, and supposing that I am—
what then?”
“Oh, Lisette, he is a bold, bad man.”
“Nonsense, child; he’s no worse than
other people,” said Lisette sharply.
“He drinks, and he gambles. I know
it, for I have brothers.”
: “Every one takes a social glass now-
adays, and as for gambling, why, I've
none of the stiff, starched New Eng-
land prejudices against an occasion-
al game of cards. He is a younger
son of the St. Armands of Worcester-
shire, and if his elder brother, Leon
St. Armand, should die, Hubert suc-
ceeds to the property, and’—she added
with a conscicus smile, and a slight
deepening of the carmine color on
her cheek—*I shall be Lady St. Ar-
mand, of Armand’s Hope.”
“Lisette, has it gone so far as that?”
“As what, you tiresome little lect-
urer?”
“Are you really engaged to that sin-
(ster-faced man?”
“I really am,” answered Lisette, de-
murely.
“Then it is of no use for me to argue
further with you.”
. “Of no use in the world. My mind is
fully made up on the subject, and no
amount of arguing will move me. 1
have .some ambition in the world.”
Ernestine Grey went home, sad and
thoughtful. True, she had seen but lit-
tle of Hubert St. Armand, but in that
little time she disliked him with al-
most instinctice antipathy, and the idea
of her lovely, wilful friend casting her
Jot with his dark fate was repulsive
to her in the highest degree.
She was sitting alone at her sewing
when Harry March was announced—
the young carpenter whom Lisette Nor-
man regarded with such inveterate
SCOTn.
He was tall and handsome, with a
face whose frank, pleasant expression
seemed in itself a letter of introduc-
tion to the world around him.
Ernestine’s welcoming smile and
blush were an earnest of her pleas-
ure in seeing him. He sat down beside
ber work table, and began to play
earelessly with the scissors.
“1 suppose you have been to see
your friend, Miss Norman, today?” he
said.
“Yes.”
Iaa:sYandl maidHashrd s sh etaoseta
«you have heard, of course, then,
what a fool I’ve made of myself!” he
said, with slightly contracting brows.
“I have heard that she refused your
offer of marriage, Harry,” she answer-
ed, with gentle remounstrance in her
tone.
«] was a fool, Ernestine,” he said,
gravely. ‘1 can see it now, mysszlf, as
I look back over the course of events.
Lisette is. lovely and fascinating, but
she would have made 10 fitting wife for
me. I think I must have becn under
a spell for the last few weeks, and
the glamor has at last passed away.
)
It was a severe lesson, but I am thank-
ful for it, nevertheless, and I shall
profit by it, Ernestine, if you will allow |
me.”
“1f I. will allow you, Harry?”
“Jt is all in your pOWer, Ernestine.
Will you accept a second-hand lover?
Lisette has rejected me—will you do
the same?”
“But, Harry,” began Ernestine, pale
and breathless, “do you really love
me?”
«I was fascinated with Lisette Nor-
man, but I love you, Ernestine. Can
you return the feeling even in the
slightest degree?”
And then Ernestine Grey burst into
tears, and confessed to Harry March
how long and how entirely her heart
had been his own.
So they were married very quietly,
and the cozy little cottage which Harry
himself had built, received for its mis-
tress a blue-eyed girl, shrinking and
shy, as Lisette was self-confident and
haughty.
Miss Norman arched her pretty eye-
broks when she heard of this marri-
age between her former lover and her
friend.
“I dare say they'll be happy, how-
ever,” she said, “Ernestine Grey hasn’t
a particle of ambition about her, but I
should not think even she would have
stooped to marry a common carpen-
ter.”
“Must be deuced low!” said Mr. St.
Armand, who was smokinz a cigarette,
with his heels on Lisette’s work table.
“It won't do for us to visit ’em, when
we're married, Lisette.”
“Oh, no, of course not!” said Lisette
poutingly.- “But now, Herbert, tell
me more about Armand Chase, and
its delicious old towers and splendid
turrets, and the lonely ghost in the
unused wing of the house. It’s exact-
ly like a story.”
“Well may it be,” inwardly reflected
Mr. Herbert St. Elmo St. Armand,
“considering how much of the element
of fiction it contains.”
But he was particularly careful to
keep this sentiment to himself, and
went on with a flowery description of
seme old chateau he had read of in
some novel, greatly to Lisette’s de-
tight.
The courtship progressed most fav-
orably, and one day, about three
months subsequently Mr. St. Armand
came in, looking flushed and excited.
“News, Lisette!” he cried, “great
news!”
“What?”
“My brother Leon has kicked the
buck—I mean, he has departed this
life, and I must start for England at
once.
“At once!”
“Yes: but don’t lock so grieved, my
pet! We must be married immediately,
or the gov—I would say, Sir Grey—will
be sure to have some high-flying match
or other picked out for me on the other
side of the Atlantie.”’ .
Lisette’s face brightened. Here were
disinterested love and devoted affec-
tion.
“And can I go with you?”
“Of course—that’s the main idea! Do
you suppose I would @o back to the
ancestral halls of the St. Armands
without my wife?”
“Dearest Herbert! I might have
known the generous impulses of your
heart!” cried Lisette, smiling and
blushing, as she thought how soon she
should probably become Lady St. Ar-
mand. What would Ernestine Marsh,
the carpenter's wife say! What would
be the curious verdict of all her little
world! And Lisette’s heart leaped tri-
umphantly within her at the mere
idea.
“Yes,” said Mr. St. Armand, “but the
fact is—you see, Lisette, I've had no
remittances of late, and in his dis-
tress and confusion at Leon’s death, Sir
Grey has forgotten to send me his us-
ual drafts on the banker. It’s very em-
barrassing, but—"
“Oh, Hubert!” cried Lisette, generous
by nature, like all women, “don’t let
that annoy you for a single moment. I
have money of my own that Aunt Pa-
tience lent me—a thousand dollars. It
is all at your disposal. You can easily
pay it at any time after we are mar-
ried.”
So Mr. St. Armond pocketed Lisette
Norman's thousand dollars, and a bril-
liant wedding followed, to which, by
special faver, Mr. and Mrs. Harry
| March were honored with cards.
The St. Armonds took passage for
FEurope in the next steamer, and Ernes-
tine said softly to her husband:
“Well, 1 suppose we shall never see
Lisette .again. But, Harry, it may all
be an unfounded prejudice, but I would
| rather have seen Lisette dead than
| known she was married to that man.”
“You see, my love,” said Mr. March,
“you are not ambitious.”
Mrs. March was mistaken however,
lin her supposition that she had seen
[the last of the future Lddy St. Ar-
| mand.
{ It was a dull, rainy night in early
April, some two years subsequent to
| these events, when a low knock came
to the door. Ernestine, who was sit-
| ting beside the cradle of her sleeping
| babe, ran to open the door, imagin-
|iriz that it was her husband.
But it was not the young mechanie
who was now on the high road to
wealth. It was a bent, bowed figure in
a shabby jacket and worn silk dress.
“Ernestine, will you let me in?”
“Lisette!”
“Yes, it is 1.
Ernestine!”
She spoke with a bitter laugh, more
sad by far than the wildest burst of
tears would have been,
Ernestine March led her in, exchang-
ed her wet draperies for dry, comfort-
able garments, administered food and
drink, and established her in the easy
chair before the cheerful fire, ere she
asked any more questions, and then
Lisette told her melancholy story.
She had been the victim of impos-
ture all through, falling into the glit-
tering trap that was laid by a villain’s
specious representations. The heir of
the St. Armands had proved te be a
bankrupt liquor-seller from one of the
small seaport towns, and after squan-
dering poor Lisette’s money he had
heartlessly abandoned her to her fate,
and she had continued to work her
way back at last, wearied, poverty-
stricken, and worse than widowed.
“If you will only let me stay with
you a little while, Ernestine,” she said,
piteously, “I could help you to sew
and take care of the baby, and—and I
must starve else.
“Dear Lisette,” said Ernestine, whose
eyes were sparkling with sympathetic
tears, “you are welcome to a home with
us.” >
So said Harry March also, when he
returned to his fireside and found his
old love wan, faded, and weary, sit-
ting at his wife’s hearthstone. The
warmest welcome the kindest consid-
eration proved to poor Lisette that she
had still friends left in the world, and
it was not until she was wrapped in
slumber in the pretty little “spare
chamber” of the cottage that Harry
said to his wife, with a curious arch
of his brows:

The Evolution of
Household Remedies,
The modern patent medicine busi-
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME-
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound-
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A
score or more of popular, home-made
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulae for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
patural outgrowth from this whole-
some, old-time cusiom. In the begin-
ning, some enterprising doctor, im-
pressed by the usefulness of one of
these home-made remedies, would take
.it up, improve it in many ways, manq-
facture it on a large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE-
“HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM,
* Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. It was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. Dr.
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM-
POUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men-
nonite origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale of it increased, and at last he
established a manufactory and fur-
pished it to the general drug trade.
Peruns is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatment of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in
Dr. Hartman's judgment, and to rely
on his remedy, Peruna.
Taming Elephants.
The efforts of the Kongo state au-
thorities to domesticate the African
elephant have brought out some in-
teresting peculiarities of those ani-
mals. During the wet season,
which lasts four months, the ele-
phants are not worked, but are turn-
ed out into the forest. Instead,
however, of rejoining their wild kin
they seem to keep apart, as if con-
scious of the difference that their
training has produced. . Their pres-
ence sometimes attracts wild ele-
phants to the vicinity of. their scene
of labor, but these wild animals are
usually, too vld and intractable te be
used as recruits.
LANGUID AND WEAK,
A Condition Common With Kidney
Trouble and Backache.
Mrs. Marie Sipfle, 416 Miller St.
Helena, Mont., says: “Three years
ago my back grew
weak and lame and
I could not stoop
without a sharp
pain. It was just as

A new story comes out of the
West, which runs like this, accord
ing to the Tarkio Herald. A Sun-
day school teacher asked his class
who led the children of Israel out of
Egypt. No one answered. He again
put the question a little more point-
edly. Still silence reigned. The
teacher became impatient and said:
“Johnny, who led the children of
Israel out of Egypt?” Johnny be-
gan to cry and said: “please, Sir,
it wasn’t me. We just moved here
this week.”—Kansas City Journal.
