CHAPTER VI.
Josie, however would not acknowl-
edge the ,inevitable autumn; she would
not grow old with grace and resign-
ation. She limped from the store,
so sorry for a fallen tyrant as the
I risen victim of tyranny?
A few weeks later Deborah went
again to the Shillaber house, eat again
I on the sofa in the dining room. The
shaking her unlovely head, Could this
be Josie Shil.aher, who had romped i
through life with beauty in and about
everythirg she was and wore and did?
Deborah could have moralized over;
her as Hamlet over Y'oricl>'s sku11:
Where be your pa0:1 cheeks, your full,1
red lips, your concise chin, and that;
long, lithe throat, and those pearly'
shoulders, and all that high -breasted,!
spaidle-hipped, bean -limbed girlishness,
of yours? And where your velocity,'
your tireless laughter, your amorous
enterprise?
Could they have ever been a part of
this eumberer of the grourd, creep-;
ing almost as slowly and heavily as j
a vine along a cold, t l:1y- wall.
Deborah's hand went. to her heart,
where there was an ache of pity for
one who had never pitied her. It was!
Deborah now that was almost girlish
of form; she was only now fill,i ag out, j
taking flesh upon her bones and
rhythm into her members. And that
scrawny chicken -breast of hers was
becoming worthy of that so beautiful
name for so dear a place; she was
gaining. a bosom. She did not know
how the whimsical sultan Time had
shifted his favor to her from his;
other slaves. • •
She knew only that Josie was in 1
disgrace with beauty and"stared after
her .in 'wet -eyed pity. Who can feel'
children had all come home. Josie
was in the parlor, almost hidden in
flowers. She did not rise to receive
her guests. They all filed by and
looked at. her and shook their heads.
She did not answer with a nod. Bird -
aline wept over her, looking older and
terrified. But.. Pamela was wonder-
fully pretty in black. She sang Josie's
favorite hymn, "Jesus, lover of my
soul," wall .11 quartet accompanying
leer. Then the preacher said a few
words and prayed.
Mr. Crautksnow was there, and so
were his camp -stools. One of thein
had collapsed, and the bass of the
choir had been unable to open his.
Some of the young people giggled, as
always. But even for them the
laughter was but the automatic whir
of a released spring, and there was
no mirth in the a,ir.
Deborah was filled with a cowering
awe, as one who sees a storm rush
past and is unhurt save for the vision
of its wreckage. The girl Pamela had
sung here a year or so ago that song
to the rose, and had •shredded the
flower and ruined it and tossed it aside.
So time had sung away the. rose Chet
had been Josie. Deborah had heard
the rose cry out its agony of dissolu-
tion, and now it was fallen from the
bush, scentless and dead. But it had
left at least other buds to replace it.
She Got the Y dh ow Pitcher
•
For thrills certain and cheap many i the `bid to 25 cents. The first bidder

wouldn't let her opponent walk away
with the prize for an insignificant sum
up she went. to 50 cents. By this time
her face was flushed and the usual
flung happened.
"Sixty cents, 75 cents. $1, $1.25; and
a half, and a half; make it $2?" She
nodded, but the old game went on,
and with every raise she felt more de-
termined that other woman should not
have the little yellow pitcher. As she
reached $4.50 .opposition ceased and
the innocent cried out:
"Did I get it?"
"You got it," replied the auctioneer.
That night at dinner her husband re-
marked jocosely that he presumed the
two side chairs wouldn't conte home
till next day, and added: "Of course
you did not spend more than $5?"
"No, I didn't; I spent only $4.50, and
I bought—I bought--" But she

That was mare than Deborah had ever
dome.
The store was closed the day of the
funeral, and Deborah went home with
her mother. All that her mother could
talk about was:
"Poor Josie! But did you see Bird -
aline? My,how poorly she looks!
And so kind of scared. And she used
to be such a nice -looking girl! My,
how she has aged! Poor Josie! But
Birdaline! What was she so scared
about?"
It was the very old triumphing over
the old for meeting the same fate. In
her own summer Vire. Larxabee had
been a rose and had shriveled. on the
stem.
That night Deborah thanked God
that He had not legit her Beauty. Its
repayment was such rain.
The next morning the bazaar was
open at the regular hour. Shoppers
came as numerously as before. People
were as eager as ever to enhance their
charms or disguise their flaws, In a
few days Asaph Sillaber was again in
his office. Ile wore black always, and
a black tie, and he Moved about with
mourning in his manner.
A month later his cravat was brown,
not black, and the next week it was
red. He was taking more care of his
costume, He talked mare with women
customers, especially the young Wo-
men., and he did not keep. his eye
an±iously on the front door. He rub-
bed his hands once more, recommend-
ing his goods.
In a few months younger girls were
behind many of the counters. Deborah
felt that youth was invading and re-
placing. She wondered how soon her
turn would come:. It would be a sad
day, for she loved the work.
But she took some reassurance from
the praises of Asaph. He paused now
{ and then to compliment her on -a sale
or her progress. He led up to her
some of his most particular customers
and introduced hex with a flourish.
Sometimes he paused as he went dawn
the aisle, and turned back to shire
at her. She knew that she had blush-
ed, because her face was hot, and once
Mrs. 'Crenshaw, who was trying to
match a sample; whispered to her: -
"Say, Deborah, what kind of rouge
do you use? It gives you the nicest
color, and it looks like real."
When Deborah denied that. she
painted, the undertaker's wife was
angry. She thought Deborah was try-
ing to copyright her complexion. De-
borah's cheeks tactfully turned pale
again, now that Asaph had taken his
strange eyes from her, and now the'
woman said:
"You're right; it's your own. It
comes and goes! Look, now it's corn
ing back again:"
And so was Asaph. When- Mrs.
Crankshaw had moved off Asaph hung
about awkwardly, Finally he put the
backs of his knuckles on the counter
and leaned across to murmur.
Tracing Counterfeit Bills.
The tracing o'f counterfeit bills -back

sue is a curious and exciting emploY-
ment, says a New York newspaper,
The experts ,assigned by the Govern -
Ment to this work are among the most
skilful members cif the Secret Service,
The protection of the currency de-
pends in large measure upon their ef-
ficiency, and the pains they take are
almost infinite. A strange story told
by one of these olioratives illustrates
the difficulties which they meet and
overcome,
One day a bank dlork in Cincinnati
detected a counterfeit $20 bill in the
deposit of a small retail grocer. The
operative was sent for and undertook
the case.
He found that the grocer received
the bill from a shoe dealer, who had it
from a dentist, who had it from some-
body else, and so 0n, until finally the
Secret Service span traced it to an in-
velid woman who had used it to pay
her physician. When questioned, she
said: the money had been sent to her
by her brother, who lived in New Or -
The operative looked up her broth-
er''s'pedigree, and was certain that he
was the man wanted, Ile had a bad
record, was the proprietor of a dive
andwas just the sort of person to be
a confederate of counterfeiters. The
.epesative went to New Orleaus with
the handcuffs in his pocket, but he was
a little premature.
Tho man proved to the detective's
complete satisfaction that he had re-
ceived the money as i ent for a shall
house he owned in Pittsburg. Tho
operative took the naxt train for Pitts-
burg..
The tenant of the house proved to
be a travelling oculist, who spent most
of his tinee.,pn the road. Ile was then
away in the West, but the operative
saw him on his return anti he at once
recognized the bill. It had been given
pini by a patient in Cincinnati, the
very: point from which the operative
had started.
The patient was a boss carpenter.
The Secret Service man got his ad-
dress Train the oculist and made a bee-
line for the city. He had a premoni-
tion that something was going to hap-
pen; and he wasn't disappointed.
The carpenter was an honest old
fellow, and told the detective without
hesitation that he had received the bill
from Mr. Smith for repairing his barn.
Mr, Smith •;vas: the small grocer in
whose bank deposit the counterfeit
hall- turned up. The detective flew to

sparks. They seemed to jolt Asaph;
he fell back a little, Then he leaned Wanting has'its merits,'but, serious-
ly pursued, it takes a big toll physical-
ly. Gain there is, of course, but it is
not all gain. Walking, too, does not
hold much mental zest.
Swimming is excellent, but it has
to be limited. 'i'o overdo it would
mean a decrease in health.
Tennis is a trifle too violent for
many, and tennis -and -tea ranks more
as an amusement than a recreation.
Cricket has too many periods when
there is "nothing doing" to be classed
as a recreation. Five minutes at the

Rowing is splendid recreation for the

remains that golfing is supreme as a

Nobody Home.

mised?"

three times and got no answer he con-
chided that there was nobody home."
closer.
"Crowford said he'd like to have you
in his store. I told him 'you .were a
fixture here. Don't you_ leave me,
Debby: You won't, will you?"
"Why, Asaph!" she cried.
"Leastws's, you'll let Me know any
offer you get before you take it. You
can promise me that, can't you?"
"Of course I will, but— Well, I
never!"
This last was true. She never had
known till now that superlative rap-
ture of a woman. to have one man
trying to take her away from another.
Debby had not known it even as a
little girl, for if two boys claimed the
same dance—which bad happened
rarely enough—they did not wrangle
and fight, but each yielded to the other
with a courtesy that was odious.
On her way home Deborah began to
doubt the possibility of it all. Asaph
had been talking about somebody else,
or he had been joking—he was such
a terrible fellow to cook up things and
fool people! Or else Jim Crawford
was just making fun of, Asaph. She
would not tell her mother this news.
That night, as she was washing the
dishes after her late supper, the door-
bell burred.
"You go, mother, will you? My
hands are all suds."
Mrs. Larrabee hobbled slowly to the
hall door, but came back with a burst
of unsuspected speed. She was pale
with fright,
"It's a man!" site whispered.
"A man! Who could it be?" Debby
gasped.
"One of those daylight burglars, pro-
b'ly. What'll we do?"
"We could run out th-e back door
while he's at the front."
"He might have a cotifederut wait-
ing to grab us there,"
"That's so!"
What possible motive a burglar
could have for grabbing these two wo-
men, what possible value they would
have for him, they did not inquire.
But Debby, in the new- executive habit
of her mind, grew bold enough to take
at least 'a peek at the stranger.

Predicts Great Things to Come
Through Britain Doing
Work of Jews.
King George the Fifth, King of
Great Britain and the Dominions Over
the Seas, is a descendant in the direct
lino from King David,
Speaking at the opening of the Bri-
tish Israel Congress at Kensington,
Herbert Garrison, secretary-general
of the British Israel World Federation,
expessed his conviction that very won-
derful things are coming, and coming
quickly, British Israelites claimed te,
have the key of the Bible, he ex-
plained, and they also stood for the
King, because they knew he was in a
direct line with David himself,
As to whether British Israelites,
could prove this, Mr. Garrison asserted
the proof was in a building in London.
It was not Westminster Abbey, he
said, but there was a building—he
must not name it yet -and he had it
on the highest authority that when
the time arrived that building woufa
give up its secret. Then all the world
would know and rejoice.
Major -Gen. C. A. Hadfield`said that
every clay the belief was becoming
mare firmly establ'„ hed that Great
Britain was doing the work that was
allocated to Israel, and that the people
of the British or Saxon race were of
the stook of Israel.
