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. t 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 Companion, AMERICA'S EX-OHAMPION WRESTLER SAYS: "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.

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 three cents a bar and a widely adver- tised store advertise at the same time the same artiele, 'telling all about its merits, but -without any inducement as to priee. Where do you think the eco- nomical housewife will wend her way? To no other place than the grocer will- ing to sell Sapolio cheaper, although in telling what he will do he has told it in the newspapers in very small space. - Mail Order Journal' Swiss Cheese rusty be hard to digest, 'twin it is holes r» . i Leg VEGETABLE GARDEN.

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.- Chi.cago Infer-Oeeam. Minard's Liniment for sale everywhere.
