ru- WSW- tO i M • THE_ hASTIN Gs (JAzET'ra VOL. L. ---NO. 22. The Stone Fireplace. By TEMPLE BAILEY. Copyrighted, 1908, by Homer Sprague. ▪ • As far as the eye could see stretched the limitless expanse of snow. Miss Frazier, pacing from window to win- dow of her little cottage, felt Imprls- *nett. "Ob, pussy cat, pussy cat," she said to the cat curled up on the window seat, "I shall die of loneliness." The cat gave sleepy attention, and Miss Frazier shook her gently. "Of course you don't care," she said, "but who could have believed that snow and cold weather would have come SO ear- ly! And all the other cottagers have goue back to town. But I can't. My rent is paid for six months, and I can't afford to lose It." Once more she began her excited walk across the floor, whlle the cat went to sleep, and deadly quiet reign- ed. At last Miss Frazier could stand it no longer. She put on her hat and coat and a pair of rubbers. Pausing on the threshold as she went out, she addressed the cat theatrically. "Sleep on," she said. "I go to seek my fortune." And she floundered through the snow to the gate. The road, deep with drifts, offered new discouragements. Miss Frazier's long skirts dragged and grew heavy, and at last she stopped and sobbed aided, "1 can't go on!" Help came in the person of a little man in high boots, who appeared from the other side of the drift. - "Got stuck, did ye?" he asked cheer- ily. "Well, you ought ter stayed at home. 'Tain't weather fer wimmin to be out." 4 Miss Frazier looked at him haughti- ly. In her code there was no place for bad grammar, and besides, as a spin- ster of spirit, his reproof grated on her. "Women can't stay in and die of loneliness," she told him stiffly. The little man looked at her with sympathetic gray eyes. "Lonesome, was ye?" he said. "Wel;. uow, that's too bad." His sympathy warmed the cockles of Miss Frazier's heart. It was so long since any one had cared. The last of her fatuity, she had taught school in a big city until ill health had forced her to resign. Then she had rented the lit- tle cottage at the`nnftisbiotfable rettrt and had prepared to live there for nix months, hoping for the benefits of fresh air and a free life. There had been other cottagers near, but they had their own interests, so that even in the warmer months Miss Frazier had been lonely, and now that snow had come her situation seemed unbear- able There were tears in her eyes as she stood there, forlorn and cold in the drift, and the little man said again: "Well, now, that's too bad. You'd bet- ter git into the house. You'll ketch cold." "I hate the. house," said Miss Frazier fiercely. "There isn't a soul there but the pussy cat." "I live up at the farm," he informed her.."I'm the new manager, and there ain't nobody there but a lot of men and a colored woman to cook for us. There's a good deal of work, you know." MIss Frazier didn't know, but she found herself listening eagerly to his talk of Guernsey cattle and of blue ribbon horses, with all the rest of the homely farm details. The little man helped her up the path and landed her on her own door- step safely. In spite of the biting air he jerked his cap off as he bade her goodby. "Come in," she urged. "Oh, please come in. I don't think I can stand it to face the pussy cat all alone" His kindly blue eyes smiled at her. "I'd like to come," he said. "'Tain't very sociable up at the farm." The little room was cheerless enough. Miss Frazier's ginger jars and Mexi- can hats had been artistic summer ac- cessories, but in the gray light of the snowy day they merely served to em- phasize the bleakness. In the stone fireplace was a bunch of goldenrod gone to seed. The only warmth came feebly from a rickety stove in the summer kitchen. "Why ain't you got a fire in the fire- place?" the little man demanded as he surveyed ed the v e. cavernous structure. "I haven't any wood," shivered Miss Frazier. "I-1 couldn't get any." Perhaps he read to her hesitation a confession of poverty, but he did not ask any more questions. "I'll be back in a minute," be said presently and went out, and when be returned he was bending Atlas -like un- der the weight of a great log that bad lain for days by the roadside. "There," he said as he deposited it in the fireplace, "if you will take oat. them wild flowers we'll have a fire." Miss Frazier obeyed meekly. "How strong you are," she breathed. "Oh. law, yes," said the little man; "I kin lift MDSE anything." He made several trips after that, finding enough dry wood in the shed to start the fire, and soon it was roaring gloriously. The black cat came and curled up on the hearth, looking Attila flames with fathomless eyes. "Oh, it's lovely, lovelyr' said Miss Frazier. "It fit like something alive," "I allus did like a fire," said the lit- 1 "very gentle and courteous. It quite tle man.

"I wish I had something nicer to offer," she said. "but it is so hard to get -things." The little plan smiled, and as he took in the dotalls of the poor room some knowledge of her plight seemed to come to hint, and he found a way to help her. "1 bet you don't know what good things you kin cook over a fireplace," he said eagerly. "I never heard of such a thing," she said. "What could i cook?" "Well, Brunswick stew is fine. It's got squirrels and corn and onions and tomatoes. You jus' let me show you"— "But I can't get those things"— Her face flamed. "Of course you can't 'Taln't to be expected that a woman kin kill n squirrel. But I'm goin' huutin' to- morrow, and I'll bring the things"— He left her later, and when he had gone Miss Frazier stood for a long time looking Into the glowing coals. "Oh, pussy cat, pussy cat," she said when at last the two of them were curled up for the night, "he uses dreadful grammar, but he is the kind- est man I have ever known." The little man came the next day and made the stew, and all that after- noon the savory food simmered and bubbled, and the black cat watched It with eager eyes. Miss Frazier in her best blue gowu set the table for two, flitting from one room to the other with all the gayety of a young girl. The little man's table manners proved to be much better than his grammar, and it was at the end of the feast that he told Miss Frazier the story of bis life, and ns he talked his hostess weighed his dignity, his manliness, against his defects and found gram- mar losing Its relative importance. He caste often atter that, and the black cat learned to know his footstep and to meet him at the door and to curl up on his knee as he sat in front of the fireplace while the two good friends basked and chatted in tbe gold- en glow. And then came the beginning of the new quarter and with it Miss Frazier's remittance. "And next week 1 must go," she told the little man when he came that even- ing. He looked at her calmly. "You ain't goin'," be said. Miss Frazier, thrilling at his master- fulness, asked faintly, "Why not?" "Because 1 can't git along without you," said he. "I can't, Annabel" "How did you know my first name?" Miss Frazier demanded. "I seen it In one of your books," he said, "and It's a mighty pretty name." Then be reached out and took her hands in his. "You're sucb a lonely little thing," he said, "and 1 jes' can't live without you. I think it's settin' around this hearthstone that gave me the feelin' that I wanted to marry you. And you'll never want for nothin', hon- ey, not so long as I kin give it" With a little impulsive movement, she slipped on her knees beside his chair and hid her face against the rough- ness of his coat. "I've been so lonely all my life," she sobbed. "There, there, honey," he whispered, with his kindly hand against her cheek. "Yon ain't goin' to be lonesome any more." And with that vista of rest and peace and happiness poor, tired Miss Frazier was content. "Fond"—Its Two Meanings. The older meaning of this word was, as is well known, equivalent to fool- ish. Now It has the meaning of af- fectionate. The following instance of the use of the word in both senses on the same page of the same work marks the period of transition, when the old sense still lingered while the new sense was coming into use. In Dr. Watts on "The Improvement of the Mind," first edition, 1751, in chapter 15, section 5, on page 119, I find: "Some are so fond to know a great deal at once and love to talk of things with freedom and boldness before they truly understand them that they scarce- ly ever allow themselves attention enough to search the matter through and through." And lower down on the page, in sec- tion 7, la: "A soul inspired with the fondest love of truth and the warmest aspira- tions after sincere felicity and celestial beatitude wlll keep all its powers at- tentive to the incessant pursuit of them," Also in Coles' English -Latin Diction- ary, fifteenth edition, 1749, both mean. Ingo are given as follows: "Fond, tn- dulgens," and lower down, "Fond (foolish), stultus."—London Notes and Queries. Strategy. "How did pa act when him for my hand?" you asked CHARMS FOR LUCK. The Sort of Superstitions Some Wall Street Men Harbor. Let all the dear readers, feminine gender, take cogulzance of what fol- lows, for surely the fairer sex 1s, after all, the stronger sex. Women know no such abject obedience to superstitious fears and signs as do the men. With a view to eliciting something of Inter- est, the writer had a chance to put a certain question to a captain of indus- try. "Tut, tut," be replied suspicious- ly, "you'd be getting me into trouble, would you?" With a promise that no names would be mentioned, he finally agreed to tell a thing or two. The question was, "Aren't meu to Wall street carrying all sorts of queer things to try to change their luck?' In answer to this the writer herd Home curious stories. "'Erie' man of worldwide fame, for example, carries a caae in the center of which there Is e slender steel rod. Circling the rod there are rings made of leather and of hard rubber, like the washers that plumbers use. Each seventh ring 1s made of leather from the soles of the shoes worn by the billionaire during what he considered his luckiest year.

The ink used that day was emptied Into a long gold tube or well that he now carries. The ink was used ap, but to the welt, so he thinks, the good luck power has been translated.

Kidney Troubles May be Sapping Tour Life Away, Hastings People Have Learned This pact. When a healthy man or women begins to run down without appareut cause, be- comes weak, languid, depressed, suffers backache, headache, dizzy spells, and urinary disorders, look to the kidneys for the cause of it all. Keep the kidneys well and they wiil keep you well. Deen's Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and keep them well. Here is Hastings testimony to prove it. John Burke, 406 e. Third Street, Hast- ings, Minn., says: "My kidney trouble came on about ten years ago. At that time I was working on the railroad, and the oonetant jarring and jolting served to weaken my kidneys. My back wu very weak, and at times I wars so tired and languid that I did not seem to have enough ambition to do my work. I was in such a run down condition that I was unable to even enjoy my vacation. At times I would be very dizzy and it was frequently very difficult for me to retain my balance. 3iy head seemed to feel heavy and pained me most of the time. I was in a general- ly run down condition when a friend advised me to try Doan's Kidney Pills. He spoke so highly in their praise that I procured a box at F. W. Finch's drug store. I am very glad that I acted upon his advice, for Doan's Kidney Pills cer- tainly made me feel like a different man." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster -Milburn Co., Buffalo, N.

In spite of tt poverty which limits their good intentions the luhnbitanta of central and south central Asia dis- play a charming hospitality. Such, at them wander over the country free least, la the Impression gained from Mr. Ellsworth Huntington's book, "The Pulse of Asia." At Miatnyan. a village in the prov- ince of Ladakh, the habitable portion of the upper Indus valley, a friendly villager invited Mr, tluntington to dive down from the crust which covered eight or ten feet of snow into a one S tory house. This was at all elevation at 10,500 feet. AlthoughIt was April 11, the snow, even on a level, wan higher than the tops of the houses. Where It had beeu shoveled off the flat roofs it formed high banks, protecting them from the wind and making them th', favorite sttting room at that season and even In winter, for the eunabine Is always warm to that dry, cloudless climate. When the little black cows bad been driven and pulled nut of the way Mr. Huntington descended to an almost closed shed used for the two or three hardy sbeep and goats and was usher. ad, stooping, luta a dark stable con - tabling a little pony, shaggy, like all the animals. Bending low once more, he climbed over a high sill and was in the warm, close family living room. Light and air came In througb a hole In the roof a foot square surmounted by a chimney pot a foot high made of three stones set up to keep out the snow. A few bits of ragged cloth on the mud floor for sleeping purposes, a half dozen metal utensils and an iron pot full of Himalayan tea, kept warm over soma embers, comprised all the stable equiptnent for housekeeping. After the host had persuaded Mr. Huntington to take a seat on the floor a half palsied old woman insisted upon ladling out for him a bowl of tea. It was surprisingly good in view of the f et that a poor grade of tea leaves had been steeped halt an hour or more with milk, butter, salt and soda. In richer houses Mr. Huntington was often served with tea which had been improved by being churned violently to a slender, greasy black churn, twen- ty inches long by four in diameter, in order to mix the rancid butter well Into the compound before It was turn- ed into the drinking bowls.

Many of Singular Coincidence. In 1884, just after Commodore Schley returned from rescuing the survivors of the Greely arctic expedition, the Massachusetts Humane society pre- sented him with a handsome medal for his achievement, and Benjamin W' Crowninfleld, one of the Bay State's great orators, was sent to Washington to make the presentation speech. On the way to the capital Mr. Crownlnfield MI in with an old and prominent resi- dent of Boston, who took the privilege of uking the orator what his mission In Washington was. In reply the old gentleman was shown the medal and told whet was to be done with it "Strange coincidence," mused the venerable gentleman from the Hub. "Forty-four years ago, in 1840, I rode over this same line and :net General Winfield Scott I was as inquisitive then as now and asked him where be was going. Ile said that a son of his bleed, Mr. Schley, had been named for him and that he was going to Maryland to see the baby.

The murderer was confined In a kangaroo's cage — Beutelrattenlattengitterwotter- kotter—when a few days later he es- caped, but fortunately he was recap- tured by a Hottentot, who presented himself at the mayor's ,Qffiee with beaming face. "I have captured the Attentaeter," said he. "Which one?' replied the mayor, "We have several." "The Attentaeterinttengitterwetter- kotterbeutelratte." "Which Attentaeter are you talking about?'

A curiously awkward word, if it be a word, is "Mrs." It is not spelled as It is pronounced—no one but a Welsh- man or a Pole would be equal to pro- nouncing It as It is spelled—and its pro- nunciation is a clumsy contraction of the good old English designation "mis- tress." In the days of old, when leisure had not become, as it is now, almost a for- gotten luxury and people were Less anxious to clip their speech, the full pronunciation was often used, and "mistress" was not altogether elbowed out of existence by the vulgar "minis." But nowadays "mistress" has drop- ped out, and consequently the con- tracted pronunciation of "Mrs." has prevailed and holds the field. Anothertit i t 0worth noting ID the P history of the designation Is that about 150 years ago and earlier "Mrs." was applied quite impartially to unmarried as weil as married ladle.. Even chil- dren were sometimes etyfed "Mrs." The burial of an infant daughter of John Milton, who died at the age of five months, is recorded in the pariah register of St Margaret, Westminster, and her name Is entered as "Mrs. Kath- erine Milton," followed by a small "e," to indicate that a child is meant But this may be regarded as an exceptional use of the title. -8t James' Gazette.

A ' GRATEFUL GUEST. I suldatuxs. The Reward She Bestowed Upon Those Who Entertained Her. "Human nature is a queer thing," bald the philosopher. "Not long ago some friends of mine got badly down on their luck. Times were so hard for them that they scarce- ly knew which way to turn tor tbe necessities of life. "At that most inopportune time they received word from a woman friend of theirs that she was coming to visit them for a few days. They were dis- mayed, but by the exercise of great In- genuity and by depriving themselves to almost the vanishing point they managed to entertalu her and really to net before her most excellent meals. "After she left their affairs contin- ued to grow even worse. if possible, and while they kept up a brave front 1 was near enough to them so I couldn't help knowing all about it, though they were not aware that I saw the situa- tion. "I thought It was time some of their friends came to the rescue if a suitable way could be devised, so I wrote the woman who had b nen their guest— being slightly acquainted with her my- self—told her I would head the procee sion, would like her aid and would be glad of any suggestions she could make as to a practical plan for helping our old friends without hutting their prop- er pride. "Her reply gave me something to think about for many a day. She said she didn't care to help theta, as they already lived too well and set too ex- pensive a table; that when she had visited them they bad a great deal more to eat than was necessary and that they must be very extravagant people; that it was undoubtedly their own fault they were in such trouble and that it would probably teach them to be more economical In future!"— New York Press.
