100 Doses One Dollar
UNDER FALSE COLORS.
BY CLYDE RAYMOND.
“It was my most earnest desire
and intention th have invited a few
of my dearest to meet Warren Ivil
bstrn, my husband’s nephew, and—as
1 b&re tcld you before—an immense
^vorito of my own. But circumstan
ces compel me to leave at owce for
Fill op e, for an indefinite May, and 1
am forced to relinquish my cherished
plan. It is too bad, my dear Marian,
for it is so long since wo have met
and l was so anxious for my new
friends to know you! But Mrs. Dcla
field, knowing of my disappointment,
has nobiy come to tho rescue (as the
inclosed note will i, 1 >rm you), and
the little party will he invited to her
house instead of mine.
‘1-leg you, therefore, do net refuse
her invitation, Marian, though you
and she arc at present stra tgers to
each oth-r; for I will not attempt to
ieny that 1 should be the happie .t
woman in the world if you and War¬
ren should ehange to fall in lovo with
each other. And if you two once
meet I shall have no fears of the re¬
s,I , i^- lic is charming fellow, his
a
high social position ', is unquestioned, 1
... wealth . greater than ,
r!,cl “ 13 is even
your own. So even Marian ^lillard
° u .,..,. < ar ‘!y ^°P° make a more
"
brilliant conquest.
* !l ° aoovc aa extract from a long
and hastily scribbled letter which,
with the inclosed m te from Mrs. Del
afield, lay open in .Mar.an Mai’lard’s
lap. She had read them both through
slowly and thoughtfully, more than
ouce, a strange expression gradual .y
settling over her fair face.
•Of course I know this letter was
intended for Cousin Marian/ she mur
U11ired > in a serionsI y reflective tone.
‘But by some strange mistake or—fa
ta " ;‘- eU v ' »I “ "ra wasn’t been sent to blame to me for instead. that;
affd, now'that it has fallen into mv
hands, why shouldn’t I accept the
possibilities which it offers? Mrs.
* s . W ‘M* ‘™“. vw her way
10 Europe; and, from the tone of her
I feel sure that none of the
. . . .
party mentioned has evermet Marian
Maillard, the heiress; while as for me
nA- very existence is . probably un
known to them. I helievo I could do
it were I to try.’
Her mind once fully made up, Ma¬
rian threw aside every conscientious
• scruple and went eagerly to work to
“perfect her plans.
The invitation wffs gracefully ac¬
cepted, and in due time Marian fol¬
lowed it in person. And if she had
entertained any lurking fears as to
her reception, they were speedily set
at rest.
•Yon don't know Low agreeably

nearly a million in your own right,
besTde^? some of the rarest jeWels in
the land. And it is so generous of
von, Mi'S Maiihml, to give us less
fortunate girls r. chance to shine!’
Mariru laughed, softly and easily,
It was so much less difti uilt than she
luul espectoil to pby the the role
which she mi l ko daringly assumed
irt this littleenmedy.
‘Fine jewels an very well for those
who lske them/ she answered
‘I nt my own taste does not quite ap
provc of our American fashion of
young ladies wearing theiti,* she ad
del truthfully. ‘Time enough to
adorn myself with costly jew els when
1 shall have become a matron. Un
til then I am quite content to wear
flowers, which are really prettier.’
'And of flowers she had always an
abundance. Not a gentleman In the
house who was not only too; willing
to send her the costliest bouquets
and baskets of them. But those
which bore Warren Kilburn’s care
were oftene#t worn on her breast or
carried in her white hand; nnd it was
Warren Kilburn’s voice or glance
which soon began to call the blushes
to Marian’s fair cheek.
A curious sensation bad thrilled
her heart when she first met this
handsome dark-eyed fellow, to win
whose hand nnd fortune had been the
express purpose of her desperate ven¬
ture. Now she knew that she was
beginning to love him, with an hon¬
est unselfish love, and there were
times when her proud face paled be¬
neath the stings of a troubled con¬
science.
Same slight danger threatened Ma
riih ooe day when they were walking
together in the grounds—a mere tri¬
fle; but it necessitated his throwing
an arm about her, 11 s a protection,
for one brief moment, and that little
*
act served to bring about tlic crisis
•which had been impending. f
‘I love you, Miss Maillard/ said
Warren Kilburn, looking down upon
her blushing face with a deep light
in his dark, honest eyes. ‘1 did not
mean to r.pealc quite so soon, perhaps;
bat I loved you from the first hour of
our vneet-i-rfg, and resolved even then
to win you if I could. Marian, will
you be mv wife?'
It had come—the chance, tho tri¬
umph, for which she had worked and
schemed and sinnod—upon which she
had staked ail her hopes and every
dollar of her little hoard. And now
that it had come, Marian Maillard
turned away, sick and faint and mis¬
erable to the very core of her heart..
‘Don’t/ she murmured, throwing
up her hand to check him. ‘Don’t
ask me such a question, Mr. Kilburn!
don’t speak to me of love, for I—will
never listen to vou.'
‘Marian—Miss Maillard!’ he ex
claimed, his dark face flushing at
tills unceremonious and rude refusal.
Thcn, all his expression changing as
a sudden thought swept across his
mind: ‘All, 3iarian!’ he cried, ‘you,
perhaps, like so many other heirr to
great wealth, arc troubled with the
fear of being-fought for your fortane,
more than for yourself. My Darling’
—passionately—‘I swear to you that
I love yon for your dear self alone.
If you had riot a penny in' the world
I should still love' you. Dispose of
your fortune as you will, Marian; give
it to your friends—do anything—on “
ly trust my love!’
He took her hands in his, his hand
some face all aglow with hi.s passion
ate, honest love. But Marian could
nst look at him. 8 he tried to escape,
but lie would not let her go.
‘Once more, I say I cannat listen
to yon, Warren Kilburn. Let me go!
she cried out, desperately. ‘If you
knew to whom you are talking-—’
‘Marian, are you mad?’ he cried, as
he listened to her words and caught
right of hot white, despairing face.
•Xo,' she answer:!, quietly, sudden
l v ealming down, and facing him with
a eteady, resolnte light in hor dark
blue eyes. -I am not mad, VVarrcn
Kilburn; I am only wicked. lama
fraud, a cheat, a deceitful woman, I

la=t. But now vhi^i
Ii dosn't matter—-I am going to leave
at once,’ she added, turning away
with a reckless look on hot beautiful
blanched face, ‘l came here'with a
desperate, Settled purpose in ray
heart,’ she said, facing him once
more, as if determined he should
know the Worst about her. ‘Can’t
gurss what it was, Warron Kil
burne? But now—now
Her protul halfniefient tones broke
down, her lovely dark-blue eyes filled
with a sudden rush of tears, and she
turned abruptly from him and hur
ried awap:
But he sprung after her-^nll the
strange, conflicting emotions which
had made his handsome faeo a study
during her rapid speech settling down
into one mist aka bio expression of
trust and passionate love.
‘Now, you love me too well to
carry vour deception any further!’ he
exftlaiiucd, catching her arm and
drawing her to his heart. ‘Marian
if vqu had continued to deceive me I
should, indeed, have despised you
when the time came when your false¬
hood must, inevitably, have been ex¬
posed. But not now, darling; your
honest soul has won the victory over
deceit and sin. I lovo you for your¬
self, and I trust you, Marian! Is not
that enough?’
And ns her head rested against the
manly heart that she had won ‘under
false colors/ Marian knew that it
would have been enough,even though
ho had been 4 Diily ono of tho world’s,
obscure workers like herself.

BY MRS. BOWSER,’
‘HcrMPii!’ suddonly ejaculated
Mr Bowsor tho other ovening as
ho sat reading hie paper.
‘What is it?’
‘Nothing, oXcept that I vo been a
fool!’
‘How?*
‘Why, hero wo’vo been roasting
almost every night this summer in
our bedroom, when tho excrciso of
a littlo common senso and natural
philosophy on my part would have
mado us comfortable. Mrs. Bow*
ser, if tho wind was. Uowitjg into a
window over a pan of Coals, would
it be hot or cold?’
‘It would bo hot.’
‘Exactly. I am glad to find a
woman possessed of so much knowl¬
edge. Mow, supposo tho wind blow
ovor snow or ice?'
‘It would be cold*’
‘Certainly, and I’m an idiot for
not thinking of it before. I'll try
it to-night/
When wo went to bod Mtf. Bow¬
sor brought up a largo lump of ice
and placed it on tho window-sill.
He contended that it mado a great
difference, and fell asleep chuck¬
ling, over his natural philosophy,
By midnight, however, ho had all
the clothes kicked down to the
food-board and his pillow on the
floor as usual. Tho lump of icc
had disappeared, but wo soon found
tho results of it. As it molted the
water had soakod into the carpet
half way across the floor, and run¬
ning down through the parlor ceil¬
ing had flaked off two square
yards of the fresco. I full}’ expect¬
ed Mr. Bowser to declare tho idea
was mine and that I urged its adop¬
tion, but ho surveyed tho ruin and!
then calmly observed:
‘That’s what comes of marfying
a woman who doesn't know any
thing!’
‘But what did I do?’
•Ii’s what you didn't do- Why
didn't you tell mo to put that ice
into the bowl? HcrO'a fifty dollars
damage all on your account!’
That evening ho camo home an
hour earlier than usual, and ho had
a lur g° bundlc’umlcr his arm. He
didn't wait for mo to ask what it
contained, but unrolled it and raid:

‘Oh! That's yrttir game is \ii

Itiook him ton minutes to get

growled I
'Consarn it, but the mosqultocd

For the next toh miiites ho wed
busy with tho posts, and it wad
whilo ho was thrashing his anna
about and kicking bis feet that the
hook ut the foot of his hammock
pulled otlt, and Mr. Bowser came
down with a crash on tho roofl
Tho grauol flew and ho uttorod a
yell, and I appeared at tho window
to ask:
‘Mr. Bowsor, what has happened^
Has tho roof collapsed?'
‘Collapsed nothing!’ ho growlcdj
as ho h.untod for tho hook.
‘But what was that awful hoiso?*
‘I didn’t hoar a sound. I got out
of tho hammock to lower it a biti
back to bod, and stay thorol'
When ho thought I had gone h«
^ X01 ^ Oio hook and got back int<4
tho hnrnmoek, but I could hoar hint
growling under his breath about
pitch, gravel, mosquitoes and Idi¬
ots, and 1 know ho wasn't at pcaco
with all mankind, for tho next half
hour 1 OoUld hear him slapping aft
tho insects^ and twisting about*
Then I suddenly caught eight of
threo or four boys skulking up tho
allby. It Was bright moonlight,
and from the way they acted I
knew that they wero ‘on' to Mr.
Bowser. Somo of them had prob¬
ably seen h?m slingifig the ham*
mock before dark and suspected,
his design. They camo opposite*
stood ih line, and at a signal all
lot fly, and jumped behind tho barfi.
Each ono throw a potato, and whilo
only ono hit tho b'ammock, tho oth*
ers crashed against tho house witht
a loud noise,
‘Jowhittaltor I but what oil earth!
is that?’ gaspod Mr. Bowsor as lu»*
sal up.
‘Mr. Bowsor, is eyory thing all
right?' I askod froth tho window*
‘Everything all right! What's'
the mattor with yoh? Why don't#
you go to bed?’
‘I—I thought I heard anothaT -
noiso.’
‘Oh, you did! Well, I didn’t, t
was almost asleep #ln> 1 you yollod

1 pretended to go away, and af4
ter a bit Mr. Bowser sottlod down’
oil his back and everything was
quiet. Thon the boys earae out
again. There woro four of thorn*
They had a hat fnll of missiles#
and each throw three or four bo**
foro making a retreat. Mr. Bow¬
sor was hit in the head with a f)0*i
toto, nnd in tho side with a tomato,
and on tho leg with a cucumber,
and tho noiso of the other raissilea
against tho house was like a cans
fionado.
