PART III.
When hewastwenty and the "Star"
r
had announced that • "Preserved Fish'
isgrowing a blondmustache," he fell.
in love. The object of his adoration
was a large, twittery young lady who
had 'recently come to town to keep
books in the lawn -mower works. Pre-
served bought himself' some lavender
sox, had sundry boxes df candy charg-
ed against his frail salary in the drug
store, and set: about hiscourtship in
an earnest and wholly orthodox man-
ner. Apparently the large young
lady did not suspect his intent until
one evening, in the porch hammock, he
delivered his carefully rehearsed
proposal.
"Oh, -I couldn't, I couldn't," said the
large young lady.
I "Oh, why .couldn't you?" There is
noticing that makes a sensitive man
feel worse than being rejected,
"Because of your name," she ans-
wered.
"I don't see what that'sg of to do
with it," said Preserved, although he
did see,
"I could never, never, never be Mrs.
Preserved Fish," she replied, "I've
always looked forward to the day
when I could change my name. Every-
one has always made jokes about
mine. But I just won't, won't, won't
change it to Mrs. Preserved Fish."
"Oh, Aniy!" he groaned.
"It's no use," she said firmly. "I'd
rather stay Amy Hogg. That's bad
enough. I want a man with a ,good.
plain name like Brown or Williams.
No, Preserved, it cannot be."
He stumbled home and thought of
drinking poison, but decided that
there was still hope. He'd change his
name. It wasn't the first time he had
contemplated this step. More than
once, galled to the limit of endurance
by the "Pickled Eel" joke, he had been
on the point of getting his name
changed to " 11ontague."
But a \dsion came before his eyes,
in this case, as in others. He remem-
bered his mother's words, and saw
heaps and heaps and heaps of yellow -
backed bills. His! His, that is, if he
remained Preserved Fish. Hed ecided
to remain so. Uncle P. Robinson
couldn't live forever; and when he
died, Preserved, his namesake, would
be independently rich. He could snap
his fingers at them all. He practiced
snapping them as he made his way
home from the verandah of ' Miss
Hogg. He could go to New York and
live at the Waldorf Astoria and no
one would care what his name was so
long as he spent freely. And he would
spend freely, he promised himself and
the world that. Yes, he would pay!
the price for that wealth by remaining
Preserved until the legacy should be
his. It was a big price, he thought,
for any amount of money. In his
dreams that night he saw piles of
yellow bills as high as the five -storey
Clintonia Trust Company Building.
Uncle P. Robinson refused to ex-
pire. He stuck to life like a barnacle
for five years more. Five years of
notoriety and torment for Preserved.
Aniy Hogg married a pants drummer
named Ignatius McGoorty. Preserved
sent them a plaster Kewpie for their
parlor, and wept into the soda foun-
tain's fresh strawberry syrup. The
calcium, continued to glare into his
blue, eyes. But he continued to draw
trade into the store, and Old Man
Keplar gave him a three -dollar raise
and taught him to roll pills.
On Preserved Fish's twenty-sixth
birthday his brother ` Galahad came
into the drug store importantly,
ordered and did not pay for a pine-
apple frappe, and remarked:
"Well,' old sardine, Uncle P. Robin-
son isn't."
"Isn't what?" demanded Preserved.
"Any more," replied Galahad.
"You don't mean—" began Preserv-
ed, trembling with joy.
"Dead. Defunct. Demised. Passed
away. Expired. Gone to the barn
from which no traveler returneth,"
said Galahad. "Here's the telegram.
Say, old can of shrimps, can you lend
me five bucks?"
A week .later, Preserved Fish, ac-.
companied by his father and Galahada
who had .,generously taken a day off j
from the,.. glass works to . help count'
the money,~ stood in a lawyer's office
and was handed the old walrus bag.'
His heart throbbed and his breath
was unruly; . his reward had come at
last.
He fumbled at the lock and the bag.
popped open like the mouth of a croco-'
dile. With excited eyes Preserved
stared at the heaps and heaps of bills..
"It'll run into five figures," gloated
the venerable Mr. Fish.
A sharp, horrified oath from Gala-
had brought them back to their senses
with a jerk.
"Gawd!" cried Galahad. "It's
phoney !;,
'Phoney?" Preserved's knee joints
Went weak; his head spun dizzily.
"Phoney!" piped old Mr. Fish.
"Look f
Galahad plunged his hand into the
bag and held aloft a sheaf of worn
notes,
"Confederate money!"
Preserved Fish folded up like a nap-
kin .and flopped, white-faced, into a
chair,

BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION,
Millions of dollars are paid for cos -
'tactics in -a single year. That gives
an idea of how much we crave beauty,
the beauty that is skin deep. Our
hearty country girls are just as ear-
nest es their city sisters in their ef-
forte to give nature a boost in this
direction; and their brothers, tOQ,
show more than a passing- interest,
So it is evident that- complexion is a
matter of very sPecial importance,
and that the disfiguring skin disease
known as acne, blotching the face with
pimples and blackheads, )Weans great
mental distress, even though it does
not very seriously impair one's physi-
cal powers.
Most young people who suffer with
this complaint and are anxious to have
it remedied spend too much time on
the face and too little on the rest of
the skin. They will massage the face
for twenty minutes, but do not wish
to give fiveto -the covered parts. They
must remember that the skin of the
face will not respond kindly to t e t2
Ment that ignores all the rest of the
skin.
The very P treatment
complexion tme nnt
is a cold or cool bath, once daily, pre-
ferably in the morning. This should
be taken in a warm room and the
water should be cool enough to get a
brisk reaction, but there is nothing
gained by extreme cold temperatures.
Even more important than the bath is
the brisk rub that should follow. It
must be borne in mind that we are
now prescribing . for young people of
vigorous habit, who desire a good
complexion. Such treatment is not
safe for the old and feeble; but to
those able to bear it the effect is to
quicken the circulation and to improve
not only the skin but every organ in
the body. Improvement will not cone
in a single week, but it will surely
come to reward persistent effort.
The diet of young persons with acne
should be rather abstemious, especial-
ly as to sweets and fats. All rich,
fried, greasy, highly seasoned food
Should be shunned. They should eat
freely.. of fruit, green 'vegetables and
coarse breads, and should drink about
half a gallon of water, each ;day.
The face should be well washed at
night with warn water and soap, and
should have enough attention to be
sure that all the excess oil of the un-
usually oily skin is removed.
DELECTABLE CORN DISHES.
Corn and tomatoes always make a
tasty combination. This one is dif-
ferent: '
\Tomatoes stuffed with. corn—Grate
"And I've been Preserved Fish for
twenty-six years for this!" he groaned.
"Here is a note your uncle left,"
said the lawyer. Weakly, Preserved
Fish read it.
Dear Namesake: -I enclose my col-
lection of Confederate money. It was
my dearest possession. It took twenty
years and no end of trouble to collect
it. I hope you'll cherish it, as I done.
Your aff. uncle,
P. (Preserved) Robinson.
"And I said it would run intoe five
figures," bleated old Mr. Fish.
"So it does," broke out Galahad.
"All ciphers." He turned to his bro-
ther, who sat dazed and aghast.
"Well," he observed cheerfully, "I
guess it's back to soda -jerking, for
Preserved Fish."
The bearer of that name sprang up
and faced him with wild eyes.
"Don't you never call me that name
again, Galley," he bellowed. "I suffer-
ed with it all these years to get this"
-he gave the walrus bag a venomous
kick -"and look what I get"—he gave
the bag another kick. "I've been a
joke all my life—for Confederate
money. But it's all over now. From
this minute I ain't Preserved Fish
any more."
He thumped out of the room,
marched straight home, threw his
lavender sox and zither into a bag,
and took a train for Bucyrus, Ohio.
Why he chose Bucyrus he could not,
have said. But it sounded remote and;
his one thought was to leave Clintonia
and his old name behind hini forever.
On arriving at Bucyrus he picked' a
propitious -looking drug store, and ad-
dressed the owner.
"I'm an experienced soda dispenser
and I'd like to get a job. I got twenty-
five a week where I was."
"Well, I- need a man," the owner
admitted without enthusiasm. "I'll
give you eighteen.~ • What's your
name?a,
"John Fish."
"No meed' to shout; I ain't deaf,
remarked the man in a bored, tired
tone. "You'll find a white jacket
under the counter where the mops is."

substitute.
Corn and Cheese Souffle—Here is
another corn . dish which may very
acceptably take the place of meat. A
large cupful' of grated green corn is
required for its making, also half a
green pepper chopped fine and a cup-
ful of grated cheese. Cook the pepper
for five minutes in a generous table-
spoonful of butter, then remove it and
add two tablespoonfuls of -flour to the
butter and cook these to the bubbling
point. Now pour in a cupful, of rich
milk and cook till smooth, stir in the
corn, cheese and fried pepper and add
a mere grating of onion. Cook for a
few moments, then whip in two well-
beaten egg yolks and season to suit
the taste. Finally fold in the whites
of the eggs beaten to a stiff dry froth,
pour into a buttered baking dish and
cook in a moderate oven for half an
hour, or until the souffle is firm in
the centre. Serve immediately, for
a dish of this sort will not bear
waiting. . • -

LOLLYPOP DOLLIES.
Some thing that will please the
children without much expenditure of
either time or money is what • many
mothers are considering for that ap-
proaching birthday or any other party,
an occasion of thrilling importance to
the youngsters.
Buy a quantity of lollypops and
some gayly colored crepe . paper, or
use the odds and ends of such paper
you may already have in the house.
Cut circles of white or pink tinted
paper the size of the ':banidy:and fasten
it over th, waxed paper in which each
lollypop rs wrapped with two or three
touches of glue. Next mark on these
circles all sorts of funny faces. From
the gay paper fashion bonnets and
dresses held in place by bits of nar-
row ribbon and touches of glue.
Thrust the end of the stick through
an empty spool and you have a charm-
ing doll that can stand alone. En-
dearing colored babies may be`made
by using black paper for the faces.
These lollypop dollies may be used
as place cards or to decorate"indi-

THE BUILDER.
A builder builded a temple,
He wrought it with grace and skill-
Pillars and groins and arches
All fashioned to work his will.
And men said as they saw its beauty,
"It shall never know decay.
Great is thy skill, oh builder!
Thy fame shall endure for aye."
A mother budded a temple
With loving and infinite care,
Planning each arch with patience,
Laying each stone with prayer.
No__e praised her unceasing efforts
None knew of her wondrous plan,
For the temple the mother builded
Was unseen, by the eyes of man.
Gone is the builder's temple—
Crumbled into the „dust;
Low lies each stately pillar -
Food for consuming rust.
But the temple the mother builded
Will last while the ages, roll. •
For that beautiful unseen temple
Was a child's immortal soul. •..
