The sound seem er t<» satisfy him. for very soon he was boring a hole nt a point ex actly level with his ear. b r not without frequent pauses and much attention given to the possible return of those departed foot-steps He remembered that Mr Brotherson had away of coining back on unexpected errands after giving out his Intentinn of being absent for hours Rweetw’ater did not want to be caught in any such trap as that, so he carefully followed every sound that reached him from the noisy halls Hut he did not for sake his post, he did not have to. Mi Brotherson had been sincere in his good bye. and the auger finished its job and was withdrawn without any interruption from the man whose premises had been thus audaciously Invaded “Neat as well as useful.” was the gay comment with which Sweetwater survey ed his work, then laid his ear to the hole Whereas previously he could barely hear the rattling of coals from the coal scuttle, he was now able to catch the sound of an ash falling into the ash pit His next move was to test the depth of /A t wWwlv AA.V * \ ’ Jbfr* anty\ 7 ; pfefiM (yW drudge V< Anty Drudge Gives the Conductor Pointers. Conductor— “Beg pardon, ma'am, for dropping the nickel; I’ll get it for you right away. Those gloves make my hands so clumsy, but if 1 didn’t wear them my hands would be as dirty as my linen. What with handling money, and the pushing and shoving, my things get so dirty, my wife doesn't like to wash ’em.” Anty Drudge—“ Well, that’s a sad state of affairs. Get her to try Fels-Naptha and she shall complain no more about washing your clothes. No backaches from Fels-Naptha or hard work either. Your wife can do a day’s washing before noon if she uses it.” When Fels-Naptha soap is used the hanging out is the hardest part of the wash’ ing No Boiling, either winter or summer. No fire to keep red hot; no tiring and tedious rub-a-dub on the washboard. Fels-Naptha itself does the hardest part of the washday work —loosening the dirt. All the human aid necessary is a few rubs, a quick rinsing and the clothes are ready for w ringing. Out they go on the line, sweeter and whiter than if a whole day were spent trying to grind out the dirt on a washboard.

This proved that his calculations had 1 been correct and that the opening so roe.-sible on his side was completely , veiled 'on the .ither by the books he had seen i packed on the shelves As these shelves j had no other backing than the wall, he had ■ feared striking a spot not covered by a i book. Hut he had not undertaken so risky m piece of work without first noting how nearly the tops of the books ap proached the line of the Sb'df above them, arid the consequent unlikelihood of his striking the space between, at the height he planned the hole He had even been careful to assure himself that all the vol umes at this exact point stood far enough forward to afford room behind them for the chips and plaster he must necessarily push through with his auger, and also important consideration for the free passage of Hip sounds by which he hoped to profit As he listened for a moment longer, arid then stooped to gather up the debris which had fallen on his own side of the partition, he muttered, in Ids old self congratulatory way "If the devil don't interfere in some way best known to himself, this oppor tunity I have made for myself of listen ing to this arrogant fellow's very’ heart beats should give me some clew to his secret \s soon as I can stand it, I'll spend nty evenings at this hole.” But it was days before he could trust himself so far Meanwhile their acquaint ance ripened, though with no very satis factory results. The detective found him self led into, telling stories of his early home like to keep pace with the man who always had something of moment and solid interest to impart This was unde sir abb*, for instead of calling out a cor responding confidence from Brotherson, it only seemed to make Ids conversation more coldly impersonal in consequence, Sweetwater suddenly found himself quite well and one evening, when he was sure that his neighbor was at home, he slid softly into his closet and laid his ear to the opening he had mu<h there The result was unexpected. Mr Brotherson was pacing the floor, and talking softly to himself At first, the cadence and lull music of the tones conveyed nothing to our far from literary detect ive The victim of his secret machinations was expressing him self in words, words that was the point w hich < (Dinted with him. But as he Ils tened longer and gradually took in the sense of these words, his heart went down lower and lower till il reached his boots His inscrutable and ever disap pointing neighbor was not indulging in sell < ommunings of an\ kind.

An Ohio druggist writes to “ The Practical Druggist,” a prominent New York Drug Journal, as follows: " Please furnish formula for Castoria. All the formulas I have worked with are either ineffective or disagreeable to administer.” To this “The Practical Druggist” replies: “We do not supply formulas for proprietary articles. We couldn't if we wanted to. His experience with imitative formulas is not surprising, but just what is to be expected. When Castoria is wanted, why not supply the genuine. If you make a substitute, it is not fair or right to label it Castoria. We can give you all sorts of laxative preparations for Children, but not Castoria, and we think a mother who asks for Castoria would not feel kindly toward you if you gave her your own product under such a name.” No mother with a spark of affection for her child will overlook the signa ture of Chas.

GiT nineteen yeuis of age and in | love with a young man aged 21. i He runs the passenger elevator In the building where 1 am employed and receives ten dollars a week, while 1 am a stenographer making eighteen dollars a week. "He says he loves me and wants me to marry him. but does not want me to go on working." That is a letter written to me by K. .1. The day the first man told the first woman that he loved her and wanted her for his wife, there was introduced into this world a disturbing ailment tvhich might be called love’s madness. While it prevails, its victims are rarely resp< risible, and in that condition they labor under the hallucination that it always will be moonlight. Such vulgar and prosaic matters as meat and groceries are forgotten, and no lover’s vocabulary ever contained these words: "Rent day." This is unfortunate, for they could be just as happy, more sane and suffer less after marriage if the practical questions were discussed; if he, for in ! stance, in the telling of his love, gave ! proof that in addition to that throb ■ bing heart that beats foi her he ha: i two hands strong enough to keep the I wolf away. A Test. The girl who writes the above letter j gets eighteen dollars a week. I take it i for granted that she has this money all ; for herself. Like all sisters and daugh | tei «. she undoubtedly buys many luxu | rles for the home and many little treats I her family would not otherwise enjoy. I But the bulk of her income is for her- I self and. though she helps others, she helps them to just such an extent as shd chooses. A gh l who gets eighteen a week and tastes the independence that goes with it will find it a hard test of love to give up that independence and live on ten dollars with a man. If he gave her j half, w hich few men ar< know n to do. I tills w ould mean less than a third of | her former income, and out of it she I would, have to help buy for the table. : Indeed. I doubt if the rent man. the I grocer and the butcher vvoufd leave I enough of that ten for this girl to treat her-elf to a ten-cent ribbon. Love is worth any sacrifice. There is nothing in life greater than love. But 1 in this case the girl is asked to make [ three-fourths of the sacrifice. 1 contend that if the man loved her as purely and unselfishly as every nice girl deserves.. be wouldn’t ask her to subject herself to the biting privations. The Prosaie Side fiv Beatrice Fairfax tlie self-denials, the narrowed outlo,, that marriage on such a meager saluiy would entail. If she loves him, she will wait till hr gets more. It is a wait that in t ; light of after events is often the hap piest period of life. Too Precipitate. Neither is he*a man of enough pride. 1 would like him better if he rlirj nr, declare his love for the girl until hi wage-earning ability, compared wi'ii hers, made a better show ing. My stand on a question like this is not approved by the young and rminn tic. but it will appeal to those in whom fancy is subdued by fact. One can not say to one's mate for life. "I love you." and with that decla ration satisfy a hunger for such mate rial things as meat and potatoes. There never yet existed twm man and a woman) who could find pear, and satisfaction in the declaration. , adore each other." while the rent man pounded on the door. A little good, hard sense will make love no less sweet. A sane contt in plation of the market basket will not rob that little god Cupid of any of hts halos. This girl is young. Km a girl of nineteen sh> is doing rema kably well in getting eighteen a week. There ar. few girls her age who are doing a* well. And so I declare, w hile admitting tlirr love is greater than the dollar, that .-K will not be doing as well if she gives u<> her position to marry a man who gets only $lO a week. Even Love would concede this much. SENT TO THE MAT. A great lover of animals. Fiofe-sr Dryasdust was much given t-> having his pet dog sitting beside him at men’ times, and eating tid-nits from his own little plate. The other evening he was at a dim, r pa : tv. and his partner was a very great lady, who was proud of her title. Rut the professor paid absoluteh no attention to her. Hi- mind had switc i ■: off on to some abstruse point, ami h-- was lost to the world over the problem. The Duchess did not approve of t i: and presently, to attract his attention, she pulled him gently by the sleeve Then the professor woke up. Grab- I bing a half-picked chicken hone f nm ] his plate, he thrust it under her stat tied nose. "Don’t bother just now. Eido!" he said curtly. "He-e, take this and K" and eat it on the mat, like a good dog gie! "
