THIS C1TIZKK, WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 1010. THE BEAUTIFUL S She Had a Surprise In Store For t, m eu un I HIV Ml 14 1 I WIIW HHt By HARRIET LUMMIS. With Miss Mcrrlam tho Incredible liad happened. Sho was tired of hear ing thnt she was beautiful. From her earliest recollections strangers hnd ex claimed over her pretty face, and her lovers one nftor another had hung tho variations on the same theme. Miss Mcrrlam listened politely and found herself extremely bored. "To bo loved for your faco Is like being loved for your fortune," Miss Merrlam confided to her Journal. "Beauty hns wings just as truly as riches. If n man falls In love with your complexion, whnt Is ho going to do when you come down with the smallpox? If I were a pretty fool I might be prefectly sntlslled with things ns they are, but I know I'm worth lov ing for myself If only they had the sense to find It out." Unfortunately for themselves Miss Merrlnm's adorers never suspected her peculiar views. If there hnd boon one of their number shrewd enough to com pliment her Intellect Instead of her dimples and to have talked about her sparkling wit rather than her spar kling eyes ho would have found the short cut to her heart. As It was, they were unanimous In deciding that tho aforementioned article had been omitted from her composition. And Miss Merrlam expressed her displeas ure In the following paragraph In her journal: "Beauty, beauty, beauty! now tiresome It all Is! I wish I might nev er hear I was beautiful again." Rash prayers sometimes bring un welcome answers. Not very many days later tho city was electrified by the news that Miss Merrlam hnd been thrown from her automobile at a well known wntcrlng place and seriously injured. Pictures of tho beauty appear ed In nil tho leading newspapers of tho country, with reference to her pos sible disfigurement. Miss Mcrrlam's relatives when appealed to on this Im portant point refused to say anything to relievo the suspense or to satisfy the popular curiosity. And the expla nation of their reticence wns npparent when Miss Merrlam made her appear ance in society a few weeks later. Across tho faultless curve of tho girl's cheek ran an unsightly scar, a scar so aggressively prominent that It held the attention of the observer and made him forgetful of nil else. It seemed likely that Miss Merrlnm wns to hnve her heart's desire and never again be forced to hear that sho wns beautiful: Lloyd Ilolllster saw her for tho first time at one of the opening functions of the season, a few days after his re turn from abroad. "Notice that girl over there," a friend said, pulling hl3 sleeve. "Last spring she was the 'beautiful Miss Merrlam,' and see her now. Hard luck, isn't It?" Ilolllster looked ns directed. He saw a small head regally carried, a mass of dazzling hair and eyes that shot violet lights from under their arched brows. Then Miss Merrlam tfirned her head, and he saw tho scar and nothing else. "I'd be sorrier for her," the man at his elbow went on, "If she hadn't turn ed down half tho fellows in her set. I guess she thought she was good for a duke with that face of hers. Introduce you, did you say? Why, certainly, my dear fellow." It was tho innate chivalry of IIollls ter's nature which had prompted him to ask tho honor of Miss Merrlnm's acquaintance. He wns as sorry for the girl as he was disgusted with the cold blooded comments of the man who had pointed her out to him. For the first few moments of their conver sation he unscrupulously kept his eyes away from her. He could not bear to witness the beauty In eclipse, and he fancied that sho who hnd been so used to reading admiration in tho eyes of every man must wince at the pity which tact could not conceal. Presently he found that admiration wns getting the better of his sympa thy. This (luondnm beauty was not crushed by her misfortune. She met this thunderbolt of fate's spite with a gallant courage which quickened Hol llster's pulses. Her easy gayety, her apparent unconsciousness of the pa thos of her situation, appealed to him as no woman's beauty had over done. Ho made the discovery that Miss Mer rlam was brilliant If no longer beauti ful and that her cleverness, unllko that of many of her sex, owed noth ing to 111 nature. In the months that followed he saw a great deal of Miss Merrlam. It was clear that tho girl's liking for social pleasuro remained unaltered by tho change In her circumstances. Sho went everywhere and to all nppearances en joyed herself In splto of tho sudden falling off In tho number of her admir ers. Thero had been a tlmo when tho man who wished a word with the beautiful Miss Morriam was obliged to fight his wny through u double ring of black coats, but Ilolllster bad no dlffl culty in gaining her sldo whenever ho went. Yot tho deposed queen of hearts seemed so unconscious of any thing about her which called for eym pathy that Holllster suppressed hla pity as If It had been a form of dis loyalty, and after a time ho no longer found this difficult. Ho admired Miss Merrlam too much to bo sorry for her. In every quality of mind and heart sho mot hla Ideal of what a woman should be. As for tho scar, bo looked at it MIS MERRIAM 1 now uns'arlnklnslr. '""' """ ov h; did, ; lie menu I to net Willi Wt e i open, i The night he nalied lnr in ninrry him they sat In Miss Sleivl.im'n little It 1 brnry, where the tlk'.;erln;; light of tho i grate fell full upon her face. No men ' worthy of the name is voluble when 1 bo lays his heart and life hi the hol low of a woman's hand. Holllster .stammered through his lovcmaking U!io u boy. As lie went on Miss Mcr- rlam turned away her faco so that the I prouic was lownru uiin. iub ukul of the lire Unshed on tho scar, and It stood out in livid relief. As a rule, uonisier was nut immwuui, uul iui uu Instant the gash seemed the mocking mouth of n demon. Holllster waited a long tlmo for nn answer to his question. Miss Mer rlnm's faco was averted, and ho could sec that she was stirred by some strong emotion. When he made a movement to take her hand she turned toward him suddenly, nnd ho saw that her eyes were brimming with tears. "You are a brave man, Mr. Hollls ter," sho said In a voice not quite steady. "Have you thought of this?" Her fingers touched the scar with a strange, half caressing gesture. "Have you thought what It will mean to have every passerby look at your wife pity ingly nnd whisper ns you pass?" "I love you," was Holllster's answer. "If there is a hard thing in your llfo it Is my right to share It" Then his head whirled at tho look of sudden adoration that leaped from her eyes. "Oh, I wanted to find n man like you," Miss Merrlam whispered. "I was sure there must bo such a one In tho world." And then she was In his arms, with the poor, scarred cheek pressed to him, sobbing out her heart in a burst of exultant triumph that enraptured him without his under standing It In the least. When they said good night Miss Mcrrlam clung to her lover ns If re luctant to let him out of her sight. "I must see you In the morning, dear est," she said. "You must spare me a few moments." Aud Holllster, who was looking forward to the separation of a few hours as If It had been as many weeks, agreed with a sudden lightness of heart. Ho wondered a little when he came next morning that she should keep him waiting. His heart leaped at ev ery footstep In tho hall for tho first half hour, and when nt last sho stole Into the room, closing tho door behind her, she took him by surprise, IIol Hster sprang to his feet, then stood staring blankly. An enchanting face smiled up at him, a face rosy with blushes. He saw tho play of the dimples and the curve of the cheek as if he were looking on it for the first time. Tho scar was gone. "My!" said Holllster helplessly, and ho dropped into a chair, his own face dead pale. Miss Merrlam ran to him and dropped on her knees beside his chair, looking Into his eyes with a fas cinating mixture of timidity nnd con fidence. "Forgive me, dearest. Don't be nn- gry with me for deceiving you. If you only knew how tired I grew of men who couldn't see anything In me to lovo but my pretty face! That Httlo accident with my nutomoblle was too good an opportunity to miss, and the scar was easily put on. An actress showed me how to do it, but I flatter myself that after a Httlo I improved upon my teacher." She smiled at Holllster shyly and did not seem to find his sllenco discourag ing. "Please don't say you like mo better tho other way. I almost grew to hate my beauty when It blinded people to all tho rest In me, but now I'm glad to have It to give to tho man who loved me for myself." Several complexion specialists claim ed tho credit for removing the scar that had ruined Miss Mcrrlam's beau ty and reaped golden hnrvests thereby Hut tho beautiful Miss Merrlam never regained her title for tho reason that her Identity was soon merged in that of the beautiful Mrs. Ilolllster. A Gigantic Goddess of War. In the Japanese capital there is a gigantic linage of a woman mado of wood. Iron and plaster. Tho time of its erection aud tho name of Its de signer nro in dispute, but It Is known to have been dedicated to Hachlraan, the god of war. In height It measures fifty-four feet, tho head alone, which is reached by a winding stairway in tho Interior of the figure, being capa bio of holding a company of twenty persons. The goddess holds a sword in her right hand and a huge painted wooden ball In tho left. Internally the statue is the finest anatomical model In existence, every bone, Joint and Hgnmcnt being represented on a gigantic scalo in proportion to tho height and general slzo of tho huge flguro Itself. Tho largo eyes aro mag nifying-glasses, through which a fine view of tho surrounding country may bo had. Willing to Please. The fair, fat and forty landlady of No. 51 was showing the prospective lodger over tho house. "I think you'd find overytldnk com fcrable," sho assured him. "This 'd bo tho llvln' room." Ho poked his head lnsldo and nodded. "An this," said tho landlady, con ducting him down n way that was dark, "this Is tho bedroom. Good an' hairy, you see!" "Quito so!" assented the victim, withdrawing. lAn' this," proceeded tho dame, "is our barthroom. Nice Httlo room, ain't itr Tho young man stared blankly, lYcs," ho agreed, "but" 'Oh," broke in tho lady, "If you Bbjuld oyer want ter uso tho barth I defeay wo could find another placo for th coal."

Don't dust n hen on n wet day to keep louse powder In her fenthers. When Biddy dusts she rises from her dust bath, shakes herself and off go the stupefied lice with, the dry dust. Ho gentle, quiet, keep sweet; flap ping wings waste powder. Hold her firmly by the thighs; other wise sho mny jerk nnd snap a bone, na shanks aro often brittle. Hold her bend downward over paper or bucket to catch waste, and her feathers will naturally open so you may work powder down to the skin. Dust her well, especially head, neck. wings nnd Huff. Most louse powders Just drive lice. If that's your kind dust outside, so dropping vermin cannot revive in poultry house, and keep dusted clucks away from chicks, or bugs will be transferred. If powder kills, dust after supper so hens will dust tho roosts. Certain powders cause temporary diarrhea, so keep clucks awhile from eggs lest they soil them. Dust chicks right over bucket of powder. Birds should be treated three times. u week apart, and males oftener than hens, as they seldom dust. Corner every fowl. Don't miss one, ns one lousy hen will spoil your work. nud always have clean pens for clean bens. Homemade louse powders are seldom effective nnd often Injurious. We get sure results from Persian In sect powder, which mny bo used on dny old chicks without bnd effects. It goes further than other powders, should bo dry, fresh nnd uncolored and should sell at 30 cents per pound In five pound lots. BOOMING THE THOROUGHBRED GAME. When you see a strutting gamecock In your parson's backyard, don't rend your garments nnd run to tell tho sisters. .lumping nt n conclusion often ends In confusion. The parson Isn't a "cocker," but Is a criterion on chicken meat and knows that Juicy Game Is equal to delicious quail, and eggs from tho prolific Game Biddies have a flavor akin to those of the wide wlugcd plover. Hope no one faints when Informed that Game breeders have petitioned the American Poultry association to 'standardize" tho Thoroughbred Game and nro hustling a big boom for the breed. The boom is not engineered to sup ply our Cuban compatriots, who have MLCU nitEASTEO iied transatlantic HUMMED FOX Till! FltAY. recently legalized cockflghtlng. It will not cause our back yards to run red with rooster goro or lead tho rising generation to rooster riots and ruin. Well, but gamecocks flghL Yes, but humans oft have festive frays over back fences. Tho clarion cock Is armed to defend bis own and is not worth a feather as a breeder if he will not wnr for his rights. Tho Game has been deposed from Its rightful placo by prejudice. Tho ruffians of the cock pit have made the name "game" a namo of 111 fame. Tho breed is now in tho bands of its friends, and, though its prestige as a warrior for centuries provos it a pedl greed prince, it is now boomed as a useful, beautiful fowl worthy of first rank. No other breed has a like bis tory. Game in tho records of China before tho Christian era, Game on tho vases of Pompeii, Game on tho coins cf Homo and Greece and today tho same, Game to tho name tho survival of tho fittest in strength, In purity and in breed characteristics.

A thousand chickens and ducks were poisoned along the Perklomeu creek, near Philadelphia, the past summer by eating the dead fish floating in the stream. Whole flocks of ducks were found dead on the banks. Thero are all sorts of bluffs, and some are occasionally tried on the fancier who has been successful in enrrylug off the prizes to keep htm nway from the next show. In such cases be should always go. A lover In Wlnsted, Conn., sends love letters to his sweetheart In New York by carrier pigeon. A Mndlson Square Garden winner Is among tho birds used.
