PART IV.
With a sigh of satisfaction the man
who had been Preserved Fish took up
his work behind the soda fountain of
the Alpha and Omega Drug Store,
Main Street, Bucyrus.
He sought out a boarding house.
"What name?" ased the lady who,
kept it.
"John Fish."
There was no smile. "Pay in ad-
vance," was all she said, not even a
remark about Yarmouth bloaters.
He was introduced to the other
boarders, minor employees like him-
self.

Mary Smith, a little red about the I find the following list almost indis-

which remover I should use when a
an odious bondage. He joined the
Bucyrus Baptist Church and went to
all its social functions; but with his
absence of personality he was very
much a wallflower. No one sought an
introduction to him. No one .looked
up when he came in, or followed him
with curious eyes when he -went out.
One night three months after he fled
from his home his drug store was
burglarized, and he had :: a not unim-
portant part in catching and subduing
the thief. In the Bucyrus "Bugle,"
next morning, he sought eagerly for
an account of the affair. He found it
at last, a meagre paragraph hidden
among the shoe advertisements. With
a strange, starved feeling he read it,
and noted that his name was dragged
into the last sentence, quite casually.
"A clerk named John Fisk helped to

Fish was evinced by Mr. Hewitt.
"Miss Smith, meet Mr. John Fish."
A well -kept little hand and a pleas-
ant smile, but purely a formal one.
And so with the other boarders.
John Fish had a faint, vague feel-
ing of missing something.
At breakfast next morning no one
looked up when he came in; no one
nudged anybody in the ribs;no one
tittered. He was permitted to eat in
Moody silence; no heed was paid to
hiin. Only Miss Smith spoke to him,
and she called him "Mr. Gish,"

Nothing less than two columns and

He missed the notoriety.

it to himself. He missed, actually

fallen in love with Miss Smith, She
was so little and ' gentle and timid. Her
name was Mary.
He thought her shy, with a charm-
ing shyness, as they strolled in the
cemetery the following Sunday after-
noon, the accepted, trysting place for
lovers. He conquered a lump in his
throat as they sat down on a bench in
a nook by a mausoleum, and spoke
what was in his heart.
"Oh," she answered him in a soft,
frightened voice, "I like you all right,
John. But I'm very, oh, very sorry;
I can't marry you."
"You can't?"
"No, John."
She laid a small hand on his blue
serge sleeve.
"You see," she said, "my ideal of a
husband is a man who amounts to
something."
"Don't I?" said John Fish, although
he knew he didn't.
"Forgive me for saying it, John, but
you don't."

"John," said Mary, "I'm terribly
sorry. But it has always been my
dream to marry an important man, a
distinguished man. But, John, you're
just ordinary. Your very name is
commonplace."
"So's yo' zrs," muttered John Fish,
"Yes, I know," returned Mary
Smith, "and that's one reason I Won't

common. But it wouldn't be an im-
provement to change it to Mrs. John

John Fish stared glumly at the toe

"Besides," added Mary Stnith, "we
couldn't live on eighteen dollars a
week,"
"But, Mary"—he started desperate-
ly to say.
"Please don't let's talk about it any
more," she cried, tears in her eyes.
"Good-bye."
Before he could detain her she had
hurried away among the maze of
monuments:
When John Fish, dejected and
world-weary, shambled into his board-
ing house, there was a special delivery
letter propped against his wash bowl.
He ripped it open. It was from Gala-
had. The note read:
"Oh, you Preserved Fish (alias
John): 1 justgold' those Confederate

grease. If the spot does not disap-
pear at first, try another or several
applications,
Grass. For light fabrics hot water
and soap is the best solvent. Ordinary
laundering and boiling should remove
grass stains from white goods. For
colored fabrics use a solvent of soap
and cooking soda made into a paste.
Rub this paste on the spot and let
stand over night. Then launder in the
usual way.
Chocolate. Sprinkle with borax and
soak in cold water. Then wash in
warm water, using soap.
Coffee and Tea. Spread stained sur-
face overbowl or tub. Pour boiling
water through stained part from a
height so as. to strike the stain with
force.
Cream. Wash in cold water, then
with warm water and 'soap.
Fruit. Treat like coffee stain. If
stain persists soak hi solution of Ja-
velle water and boiling water for a.
few minutes. Rinse thoroughly with
boiling water to which a little dilute
ammonia water has been added.
Blood. Cold water or a paste of
cornstarch and water is a satisfactory
solvent. Soak in cold water till stain
turns brown. Rub out of cold water,
applying soap, and wash in warm
.water. In usi^g cornstarch, apply the
.paste,making several applications till
the stain is absorbed.
Mildew,. For a solvent use lemon
juice or a paste of one tablespoonful
of starch, the juice of one lemon, a
Iittle soft soap and salt. To remove
the stain, wet with lemon juice and
expose to the sun or apply the paste
and expose to -the sun.
Paint. Turpentine, benzine oralco-
hol are good solvents for most cases.
For delicate ,colors use chloroform.
For old paint stains equal parts of
