A portion of her letterreads as follows My father had often. piomised mother to stop drink- ing, and would do so for a time but then returned to it stronger than ever. One day after a terrible spree, he said to us: It's no use. I can't stop drinking.' Our hearts seemed to turn to stone, and t we decided to try the Tasteless Samaria - Prequiption, which we had read about in the papers. We gave hirn the reniedy, entirely with- out his knowledge, in his tea, coffee, or food regularly, according to directions'and he never knew he was taking it. One package removed all his desire for liquor, and he says it is now distasteful to him. His health and appetite are also wonderfully improved, and no one would know hint for the same roan. It is now fifteen months since we gave it to him and we feel sure that the change is for good.

Man to the o41 merchant, "how much will you &et? I have put every cent into this, enterprise. I must sell those shawls right away-. My creditors axe beginning to crowd me hard. My men want their pay right away. Those shavrils are the best I could get in the Oast. They cost me $20,000 cash. have come a long distance with thin, and you certainly ought to give Mo en. ugh to meet my expenses." The o1i man shrugs his shoulders. He says: "My young friend, I do not 1are what those shawls have dost ou. They are utterly valueless to ie. I do not want them at yl price. The moths have got into some of them. For my purposes they ar ruined. Be- sides that, those shawls are all out of style. They would lie a perfect drug. upon the market. I wish you would leave the shop. I'have a lot of business to attend to :and I have no time to waste." The young inexperiencei seller bites his lips until the blood airaost comes. Then he thinks of his wife and little babies. He feels he is. stating ruin in. the face. Ile knows he must make a, sale right away, else he will beco a bankrupt. He again eays, "Can't you give me anythm for those shawls?" The old mere ant at first says nothing. Then le answers: . -Well, young Wan, yOlt` seem to be In hard luck. I will gtee you $10,-. 000 if you want me to take the date - aged goods off your hands. :The tears began. to start from the young man's eyes. He is' too !brave to show them. He goes t4, the corner of the street and stands there for -a while to think. While he is there the old merchant's eyes sharply follow him. Then the young than corms back at last and says: la guess I will take your offer. _That means I must lose all the money T ever made in my life.. That mean I will not onoy throw away six in. nths' hard work, but that now 1 am utterly ruined!'

I While this conversation. takes piece between the deceitful o141 mercha t arid. his partner, methinl s I can ee a troubled look coroe over the face of the disguised. king who is standing near by.
