"What is that zork•' asked the Little
Lady.
It was a ten -dollar bill, framed and
glazed, hanging on the wall of the
-office.
"In memory, of an barest debtor,"
eplied the' Discontented Man.
, 'Axe they so rare, then?" she asked.
"Very. And then the circumstances
of that payment were unusual. • We
had a tenant, a little chorus girl, who
lived in a little room in one of our
buildings. She was out of work. Had
been ill, Hard up and behind with hest.
trent. Lord only knows how she lived.
Mostly on pickles, tea and breakfast
food cooked over a gas jet. Poor lit-
tle hallroom girl. But she was honest,
and whenever she earned anything she
gw11 a. dollar or two on her rent, and
struggled along, eking out her pennies
with all the dodges girls know, wash-
ling handkerchiefs and sticking them
on the window panes instead of iron-
ing, doing up lace collars by rolling
them as o in•d a curling iron, and-"
"It seems bo me," saki the Little
Lady, "that you know too muoh--"
"I beg your pardon?"
"Nothing. .Go on."
"At last she got an engagement to
go on the road, and she was as happy
as the Queen of Tarsaoon. She owed
us $10 and soma little scores to other
people, and before she left she called
on each one and told them she would
pay as soon as she received her sal -
"TI told her, `All right; no hurry," and
so she paged on after the fashion of
tenants.
'tit was Dee. 30 of that year, in the
afternoon, and I was alone and working
on some accounts, when I felt a sort of
cold draft, and I raised my head to see
who was coming in, thinking the door
had been opened, and beside my desk
stood Miss Patsy Vane. She had come
in so softly that I hadn't heard her.
"'Why, how are you?' I said. 'When
.did you get back? Have you left the
.company?'
"She sat clown before answering. The
show has closed,' she said. 'I just got
back and want to pay my debt.' And
she opened her little pocketbook and
took out a ten -dollar bill and handed it
to me. As I took it I noticed that she
had a big red mark across her fingers,
and as I wrote a receipt I asked, 'What's
the matter with your hand?'
"I burned it,' said she.
.•'r gave her the receipt and she fold -
ad it and put it in her pocketbook and
:stood up. 'Thank you so much for
.waiting,' she said, 'you have been ew-
fully kind to me. Good-bye: She hesi-
tated a momont and then extended her
band and 1 took it. Her. fingers were
very cold.
Good-bye,'' I said, and I walked to
the door with hex, opened it, for her,
and so she went away. Ina short
time some of the other fellows came
iu, and I laid aside my accounts and
went out, and. as I got out in the
street the newsboys were barking about
the Iroquois Theatre fire. 'Good luck
that Patsy got out before-' I thought.
'Why, she said the show had closed!'
and I bought a paper and saw that the
Bluebeard Compa.ny was playing there at
the time of the fire.
Still, 1 thought she had left the com-
pany until in. next day's paper I saw
that among the lost was Patsy Vane,
and then I knew that in broad day I
had seen and talked with her spirit,
just released. I might have thought
I had dozed and dreamed, but in the
cash drawer of the safe was the ten
dollar bill, just like any other bill, ex-
cept that one end was scorched,
"When the members of the company
irtraggled back to New York I saw
Patsy's chum. 'Oh,' she said, 'Poor,
poor Patsy. She was so glad to get
to work, and saved to pay what she
owed in New York, and that after-
noon she told me she had paid all but
ten dollars rent, and she had just got
that and would send it next day.
When the fire came we started out to-
gether, and she would have got out,
only she said: "I forgot my pocket-
book," and she ran back for it and
never got out.'"
"So I kept that bill and had it fram-
ed as a souvenir• of a remarkable experi-
ence."
"Do you expect me to believe that?"
asked the Little Lady.
"No," coolly said the Discontented
Man, but just the same it's true, and
she paid. it to me sitting right in that
chair you're sitting in. now."
The Little Lady gat up hastily and
moved to another chair.
"I did not think you were the kind of
a man to have such fancies," she said.
"I didn't think so myself," said the
Discontented Man, "but it seems that to
me it was appointed." -Trenton Tines.

How to Make Tea.
Mrs. Wickersham had advertised for
an experienced cook. The first applicant
who came in answer to the advertise-
ment was a stout, red-haired young
woman. Mrs. Wickersham propounded
several questions to her, which she an-
swered in a fairly satisfactory manner.
Then she asked her:
"How long do you boil tea?"
"Well, mem," saki the young woman,
"some folks biles it longer an' some
shorter. It's all a matter o taste."
"But you do boil it, don't you?"
"Oh, yes, cert'nly; but I've allus
thought that two hours was long enough
to bile any tea. You can git all the
etren'th out of it ins tl'me,"-Youth's

"After my great wrestling match
with J. Mellor, of Sta.teybridge at the
Crystal Palace, England, for the In-
ternational Championship, X was
covered with cuts end bruises. I ap-
plied my favorite balm, Zam-Buk,
and in a marvellously short time the
abrasions and cuts were healed and I
was fit and well again. At another
time I had a piece of flesh almost
torn completely off my arm above
the elbow. I anticipated being un-
able to do anything with the arm
for a long. time. To my delight,
however, Zara-Buk closed up the
wound in two days. In three days
it was covered with new akin, and a
few days after, there was no trace of
the injury. I recommend Zeiss -Bak

The Size of an Ad.
Some advertisers believe an ad. must
be large to be suoeessfal. Others think
that it should be original in style of
display or in what it..says. Others
again are insistent that it occupies a
certain place with each appearance in
the newspapers. But these requirements
are not essentials to success. Unless the
edvea$isement ovaries a convincing busi-
ness message, it will fall down whether
large space has been used or the adver-
tisement was uniquely oonstruoted, or
if it oecuplee the most preferential posi-
tion on the page of •8 newspaper, for it
is not the technique of an advertisement
that brings results, but what it says.
All of which explains why some ad-
vertisers whose advertisements super-
ficially appear crude do better business
than others that have ransacked type
eases for strikingly ornate display
type faces
That this is so can be easily proven.
Let a small grocer as long as he is
centrally located advertise Sapolio for

tised store advertise at the same time

Pheasants Thrive in Illinois.
Two years ago the first consignment
of English pheasants was received from
State Game Commissioner Wheeler by
the game 'warden of Clinton county.
The latter offieial has kept a close
watch on the birds and is pleased to re-
port them increasing. A few months
ago another lot was liberated, and all
are reported as being alive. They are so
tame that they will enter the farmers'
yards and eat with the chickens.
Farmers throughout the country are
eager to assist the department in in-
creasing the pheasant population by
hatching out eggs to be supplied by the
department. Quail are abundant in
the parte of the county wheer there is
plenty of cover, and prairie chickens can
be counted in flocks of fifteen up to
sixty. Before the new game law was
passed chickens were almost extinct.-

In the forests of Malacca and other
islands in the Indian Ocean may still be
found the animal known as a wildcat.
The upper parts of it are generally of a
clear yellow color, with black spots;
the lower parte are white with black
spots also. On the back the spots leng-
then almost into lines or rings, black cat
yellow.
The average length of the animal, ex-
cluding the tail, is• almost two feet; the
tail averages nine inches. Its height,
when standing erect is about twileve
inches at the shoulder and fiften inches
at the hindquarters. Ito temper is mild
and gentle; it plays almost like a do-

tail and amusing itself with anything
