It was David's, first visit to Ohio, and' lie had come all the way from ansae alone. 'The doctor octor had or dered mamma to California, in the hope that the change would cure her, but he vetoed 'that boy' accompany- ing her when he learned ber inten- tions of having David as one of her travelling companions. "Might aswell stay . at home as take that perpetual motion machine along," he grumbled. "What you want, madam, is rest—perfect rest, and everybody knows that with a bay of eight tagging at your heels, you would get less rest away from, home than in your own house." "But'what will poor David do with- out his mother, doctor'?" the sick wo- man asked. "Fie has never been away from me for a single night." "Better do without you for a few months than forever," said the doc- tor, significantly. "Ship him east for a visit to his grandfather's, can't you?" Tbe doctor's suggestion was fol- lowed. and a few days later David was ttra'ged and expressed to "Spring- dale, Ohio." •Upon his arrival grand- pa receipted 'for him at the station, and took hien out to the farm, where he did his share to help grandma and the two young aunties tried 'to make him forget his loneliness and home- sickness. It was David's first' visit to the beautiful country, and he had a jolly time running races with old Gip, rid- ing the horses to water, and having lots of good things to eat. But bright and cheery a little chap as David proved, he was a bit too selfish for his own good or other peo- ple's happiness, and often made trou- ble for those who loved him hest. He did not like to work, and when asked to bring a bucket of water or an armful of wood into the kitchen, or to do any little thing to save older people steps. be pouted andgrumbled so much that the folks about the house hated to ask any little favor of him. One day in October he followed grandpa into the orchard where he was grafting some fruit trees. He had never beard of such a thing be- fore, and after watching awhile in silence, asked, "What, do you mean by grafting, grandpa?" "I want a better kind of apples to grow an this side of the tree, and so T cut off the big limbs and put new sets in their places," explained grandpa "You see that I fasten these little cuts in place with wax," "And will they Stick and grow big like the ones you cut off?" asked Da- vid. much interested. "Yes, indeed," answered grandpa; "Here, taste this apple, and this," he added, plucking two tipples from op- posite sides of the tree. The first was small and knotty from the old tree; the second large and mellow, from a graft of a few years 'before. "O -o -h Sour and bitter," exclaim- ed David, with a wry fa.rre, flinging the little' apple away. "But this big one is sweet and juicy," he added, smacking his lips contentedly over the second sample. "'!'he grafting helped it, f guess" "I've been wondering if grafting might not make some fonts pleas- anter to live with," said grandpa, so- berly. "I know some little boys sad- ly in need of kinder tongues and more accommodating hands and feet." "You couldn't cut boys up like trees," argued David, opening his eyes very wide. "I don't see why," replied grandpa. "If IL helps trees, it ought to heip people too. I think It would be worth trying," he went on. looking at David as if, about to try the ex, perimemt an him. The boy shied off, and a little later went to the house and lay down i1 the hammock swinging across the porch. He was tired and kept very still, certain that grandfather was only funnln', Directly be saw a big man bending ever him, with a grafting knife like grandpa's In pis -band. "I'm a sur- geon," he said, "and have brought hew arms and legs to graft into you, Instead of these lazy ones you have how." and when David began to cry, he took a new 'toegne.out of his case, saying, "This tongue is to go IIltO your ,mouth first of all, as that 'whimpering, cross one is making ev- ery one about the house wretched, end must be cut at once. He reached for his knife, and then David began to scream, bringing grandma 'and Aunt Patty in great fright to see what' was wrong.. "A man wee trying to exit my tongue out," cried David, trembling like a loaf. "You've been dreaming, deerie. comforted grandma, rubbing David's. cold fingers until they tingled with Warmth. Maybe I have," said David, "but I didn't know -I was asleep. That evening David filled the Woodbox ant] water buckets without t hint from anybody, and when grandma told him bow happy his thoughtfulness made her, he smiled back, saying, "Aren't there some. errands you want done? You see I'm a grafted boy now, and I want to find out how feet my new feet can run." "What do you mean by a grafted hoy," inquired grandma, looking puzzled. Ask ! grandpa," answered David. "He knows," he added, as he started on an errand for Aunt 'Patty,, "and he can tell." Very Appropriate They sat at'the edge of the wood gazing dreamily at the reapers toning in the sunny fields, at the scarlet poppies that glanced amid the golden grain, and at each otter. "Darting" he cried, "I swear by this .• grew tree;' whose • spreading branches shade us from the heat, that I have never low ed before." The girl emi ed faintly. "You •ai ways say such appropriate things, Beetle," abe murmured Thia to L chestnut -tree. TIT FOR TAT!

Jack liked the tone. It sounded fresh and girlish, with a dash of straightforwardness that otherelack- ed. He arrahged an interview, still e(gning his nom de plume, "Lonely." In a railway waiting room. Shortly after eight a ladyanswer- ing to the description given peered in at the open door, hut, seeing Jack, fled hastily, yet not before he had caught sight of her tell-tale vollets. Ile pursuedand caught up to her lust as she was making a rapid exit into Raleigh avenue. "I beg your pardon," he said, touching her on thea shoulder, "but are you 'Blushing'?" "Yes," ahe answered, timidly: and, indeed, she was for her dirnpled cheeks betrayed it. "I' am lonely," he explained, "or rather, I was until yon came." Then they both laughed and felt more at ease. That evening -vas a revelation to Jack. Before the night was over she had confided to him her history. A pretty little wedding at a church in Farmington ennsummated their happiness, but before the ceremony took place Ettie made a request. "I want to hold my position a few weeks longer. MayI? „ she pleaded. Open in all her dealinge, on one point she .had 'remained obdurate— that was withholding the name and address of her employer, "Yon will know one tall," she constantly as- sured Jack. and one day, sure en- ough, he did, In her little square cage in an of- fice, perched on a high stool, sat Et - tie one hot afternoon. There wee a temporary lull, and the tired, white faced assitetants were listlessly mov- tng to and fro re -arranging their de- partments, whilst the settee shop walker strutted round like an irate turkey cock. "Now, Miss Morse. hurry up a.nd put that dress material away. You seem to be half asleep:" He turned to another. "Why did you let that lady go without a purchase?" "We had nothing in stock to match her ribbon, sir," answered the girl, penitently, "Bosh" he cried rudely, then stop- ped to whisper somethinc to a lady more favored, who was lolling on the counter, It was an unwholesome scene. and one that Ett)e had wit- nessed from her point of vantage many times. Cranford, the shoo walker, was one of that low type that Imes hie au- thority for a base end, so girls came and went in quick succession, and it was an open secret why so many proved unsatisfactory, Ettie had turned in loathing from the man's advances, so he had bided his time for revenge. Now it had route, and seizing this slack moment, he marched up to her desk w;th a triumphant leer. "You know the rules, and you've been late two mornings this week. Instantly dismissed by rights, but I'll give you till Saturday to clear out," 19ttie slid on to the floor from her perch, and, opening the afflce deur, turned to face him. "You will give the till Saturday. Then let nee tell you, coward, bully Mid libertine, that you are, it is you who will go, not I, but instead of waiting till Saturday you go now," Rage held hien speechless for a moment, then be advanced threaten- ingly towards her just as a newcomer rrr!vecl on the scene. Etele gave a siert of glad snrpr se, and went to Meet -cher husband. He farted back. in bewilderment, ment, Chen'a light broke in—he understood. I have had to discharge that man for his Insolence, Jack," she said, pointing at the crestfallen shop walker. "Ity, husband or i will pay the salary due to you as soon as your luggage Is packed and you are ready to go," she concluded. walking past him to her office with the Mr of a queen: The man slunk away as Jack Clinched her _ 1-ertory crder with a decisive nod. • That same evenin-g, as late eat at her piano playing a soothing melody, and Jack was desecrating the attnos- phere with a fat cigar, she stopped to say: "Do you remember how I ran away from you tit the stations" "Perfectly well. 1 imagine you recognized 'me." "Yes, dear." A slight pause, -' llut you don't know how glad 1 am you fan .after me." ese am I, darling." "I suppose you think it was silly of me to go on working in your shop, hiding my Identity and all that sort of thing?" "Rather." "'But it wasn't." She rose and sat down on the rug by, his knee. ''A was just lovely to go each day, know- ing it was my darling old hubby's shop, aced that no earthly power could sack me --to see that silly beast of a shop' walker watching his opportun- ity to'discha.rge me, and know all the time. that I could afford to laugh at ham I felt soy safe, so deliciousiy safe.."

That he, her lover, should be debarred from entering the convent drove the captain nearly to distrac- tion. However, he found consolation In the thought that Irma was ever thinking of hint, and knew that Sooner or later he would devise a plan for her escape. One morning a buzz of excitement trap through the convent. From nun to nun and student to student it was whispered that the good Sister Su- yrerior had received an Important let- ker from the Holy Synod at St. Petersburg. On the morrow, 11 an- hounced, Father Sotovieff would be bleared to pay the convent an official Visit of inspection. • Many eyes peered at the good fa- ther as he drove up in a carriage drawn by three splendid horses, But '17 the good father was pompous- in; coming. he was charming to manner, end delighted the heart of the Sister 8uperlar by hie praiseof the order lint discipline that marked her reg.

Naturally touch an unlooked-for request created a fletLer of excitement among the Ietudents.

So one by one the students enter - :ed the examination room and there Were examined in their studies by Jibe good father. And one by one each emerged full o•f the praise that +e had bestowed on them. He was ;the most tcharpiing father who had ever inepected the ;monastery! After the examination Father Solovieff Made hip report to the Sister Super - tor, The teaching in the convent he eolared , was excellent. All the etndents had done well, But there Was one who had tar and away ex-' celled all the others. '1'hls student was Irma Mazleni'koif She, the good father informed the Sister Su - parlor, was far too advanced' for the learning of the convent, e.nd' he had 'decided to remove her at once, and toe place her in the. famous Convent 'ef' the Kremiin at Moscow. Flattered by such praise, the Sister Superior bade Irma Mazlenikoff fare- well.

The hon-offlclal word o1 a Chinese Is usu- ally as good as his bond, and Ole bond le as; good as the wealth of his family. In fifteen years of dealing With Chin- ese merchants'' and contractors of ail Sorts.I have never found them ma- lieloueiy doing work coutrary to the epecifieatfons or attempting 1.o break their contract even 11 11 was a loting ane for them. But When the busitrps becomes a limited corporation and e p on tb executive is a board of directors, everything goes to pieces: This divis- ion of responsibility, together with the fact that most of the capital in - Vested does not belong to the direc- tors, destroys all eenee of commercial rectitude and of personal responsi batty. It le a notorious fact that hardly one single Chinese limited company has been a success from the standpoint of the shareholder's. This includes the China Merchante Steam Navigation Company, Chinese mining companies, electric lighting plants, watre-works, Chinese cotton fadtor- les, etc., etc., The railways that are managed solely by the Chinese are soon allowed to run down, and no funds are set aside for repairs and Improvements. Since the Chinese took over the Pe- king-Hankow Railways from the Bel- gians in December, 1908, no regular repairs or replacements have been made. hTe profits have been squan- dered, and both roadbed and rolling stock are going to ruin" The com- pany has just been making vain efforts to floc a large foreign loan for the repair of this railway. 1fthe people are unable to combine with success to manage the affalrs of a small "or- poration, how much less could they combine to run the affairs of the coutnry? The present system of government is hopeless. The Central .Government has but little hold on the, provinces, and fears them. Thea taxes and rev- enues are practically fanned out. end tut a sinal/ p eroentege of the amount taken from the people ever reaches the Central Government. The week) effort is to gat money at any cost, even If the source of revenue is eventually destroyed thereby. As an example, when the railway from Peking Reigate one to 'tel at on hundred and forty-five miles north from Peking, was opened, the amount of traffic and profits were large. What did the Chinese Government do but at once establish six or moro likin (Chinese customs) stations out his line and collect eustoms duties on all traffic! Within a few months the cars were running empty and the goods were being transported in the good old- fashioned way — packed on m'uxies and carpels. The people have no confidence in the officials or the Regent, and during the last two years this lack of confi- dence has broadered into utter con- tempt. The only thing that holds the "powers that be" in place is the lack of a leader for the people. As yet not one has appeared in China. The people have no confidence .= in any of the so- called revolutionary leaders, as not one of them has shown any ability beyond that of getting money from the people and spending it in eafety abroad. ood's Sarsaparilla Eradicates scrofula and, all other humors, cures all their effects, makes the blood rich and abundant, strengthens all the vital organs.
