Some one had passed for whose return she looked, some one whom, if she had been asked to describe, she would have called a tall, fine-looking man of middle age. of a cultivated appear ance seldom seen in this small manufac turing town: seldom seen, possibly, in any town He had glanced up at the win dow as be went by. in a manner too marked not to excite curiosity. Would he look up again when be came back? Hhe was waiting there to see. Why, she did not know She was not used to indulg ing in petty suppositions of this kind: her life was too busy, her anxieties too keen. The great, dread looming ever before her. the dread of that hour when she must speak.—left her very little heart for any thing disociated with this coming event. For a girl of seventeen she was unusually thoughtful Life had been hard In this little cottage since her mother died, or rather she had felt its responsibilities keenly. Life itself could not be hard where Os wald Brotherson lived; neither to man, nor woman. The cheer of some natures possesses a divine faculty. If it can help no other way, it does so by the aid of its own light. Such was the character of this man s temperament. The cottage was a happy place: only—she never fagiomed the depths of that only. If in these days sl.e essayed at times to do so, she gave full credit to the Dread which r'oklfci ever before het -rose like a ghost! Site, Doris, led by inscrutable Fate, was waiting to hurt him who hurt nobody; whose mere pre-' ence was a blessing. But her interest had been caught to day. caught by this stranger, and when during her eager watch the small mes senger from the Works came to the door with the usual daily supply of books and magazines for the patient, she stepped out on the porch to speak to him and to point out the gentleman who was flow rapidly returning from his stroll up the road. "Who is that. Johnny?" she asked. "You know everybody who comes to town. What is the name of the gentleman you see coming?” The boy looked, searched his memory, not without some show of misgiving, plishment. 1 must not neglect so plain a duty.” Meantime, she was struggling to find words in face of that great Dread. She had written Dear Miss Challoner and was staring in horror at the soulless "1 ■an not," she murmured. "I can not think what to say.” “Shall I help you?" came softly from the bed. ”I'll try and not forget that ft is Doris writing.” If you will be so good,” she answered, with renewed courage "I can put the words down if you will only find them for me." "it rite then: 'Dear Miss Challoner.’" I have already written that " Why do you shudder?" I'm cold I’ve been cold all dav. But never mind that. Mr. Brotherson Tell me how to begin my letter.” "This way. ‘l've not been able to answer your kind letter because I have had to play nurse for some three or four weeks to a very fretful and exacting pa tient.' Have you written that?” No." said Doris, bending over her desk till her curls fell in a tangle over her white cheeks. "I do not like to." she protested at last, with an attempt at When shown positive and reliable proof that a certain remedy had cured many cases of female ills, wouldn’t any sensible woman conclude that the same remedy would also benefit her if suffering with the same trouble ? Here are five letters from southern women which prove the efficiency of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. LETTER FROM VIRGINIA. Elliston. Va.—“ I feel it my duty to express my thanks to yon and your preat medicine. I was a sufferer from female troubles anti had been con fined in bed over one third of mv time for ten months. 1 could not oo my housework and had fainting spells so that my husband could not leave me alone, for five minutes at a time.

'But he Is getting well fast and will soon be ready to take up the manage ment of the Works which was given him just before he was taken ill.’ That will show her that f am working up,” he brightly remarked, as Doris carefully penned the last word. "Os myself you need say nothing more, unless—" he paused and his face took on a wistful look, which Doris dared not meet; "un less but no, no, she must think it has been onlj a passing indisposition.

I "I am going to be interviewed on how to be beautiful, though ugiy.' " Miss Moore perched herself on a trunk as big as a touring car, and J sat before her to take account of ! stock, so to speak. She had had time to wash off her make-up, but 1 had ‘ not yet been able to realize just what kind of person was the girl who is called the funniesi young woman on the stage. You see it was like, this: From an aisle seat in the theater I had watched Miss Moore pick up Hanky Pank.v and walk off with it in the slang of the i stage, with a physical vitality which seemed extraordinary for a person of so slight a build. She acted her scenes with that whirlwind quality that takes your breath away, and she had been genuinely whimsical and irrepressibly funny. In the first act, in a weird trouser ette costume, any one else but Miss Moore would have been vulgar, but some indefinite quality keeps her from erring in thia way, and a preposterous sense of humor, with a spontaneity which seems absolutely natural, wins the audience from the first. Now. funny women are very seldom beautiful; funny faces are not beauti- Up-to-Date Jokes She was nouveau riche and had a cottage forth? summer at the sea shore. Her one problem was how to secure as her house guest the "recog nized leader of society” in her home town. The invitation was being verbally extended, and. as a last inducement. Mrs. Mala prop ended: "And as you sit on the front porch it's charming to watch the little white sailed boats flit pro and eon." They were seated in the dim light of a conservatory. She was playing with her fan. and he was murmuring soft speeches in her ear Suddenly he loaned forward and impressed a kiss on her soft cheek. "Oh. Charlie." she cried, "how you frightened me!" Then after a few minutes she said: “Frighten me again, Charlie!' .lack - What did her father say when he entered the room and found his plump daughter sitting in tour lap?

Mrs. Casey—Oi don't belave It Mr. Casey—Well, if yez think Oi'm a liar, gel up. and put er out yerself. A fat French lady despairingly says: "I am so fat that I pray for a disap pointment to make me thin, but no sooner does the disappointment come than the joy at the prospect of getting thin makes me fatter than ever.” "Doctor,” said the lady patient.

And yet." site continued, "man is oftenei bro) ful faces, though they may be lovable ones, and are often fascinating ones. As I sat and watched and studied Miss Moore, I wondered how she had ever come to devote herself to being a comedienne. She has a very serious face, the eyes are xtraordinarily ear nest and penetrating, with something of the visionary look in them that be longs to the religious enthusiast. The mouth alone is humorous and very flexible. But she is pretty. “Why didn't you go in for straight acting, where you could have been the beautiful lady of the piece?" I asked Miss Moore. "Oh, there is a so much bigger field in this line of work, and ft is so much more Interesting. Besides. I think it's a fine thing to make people laugh if one can. Laughter.

Ing. humorous face, even If it isn’t strictly beautiful. Is the face that peo ple like to look at In preference to the sad-eyed, despairing beauty." "But do you think a sense of humor can be cultivated?" "Yes, I do; and I think it should be part of their education. If women would learn to look on the- funny side of life, that side would grow, and they would see more and more funny and amusing things to Interest them. Often when 1 go on the stage feeling down,’ as one is apt to do, I see some one in the audience that strikes me as funny, and I begin to laugh and a whole lot is lifted from my shoulders. "Nobody knows what I’m laughing at. and I suppose they think It's part of the show, but sometimes I catch sight of one of those stern people who come to the theater, with the firm de termination not to be amused, and not to think any joke funny. They sit there with the expression that says, 'I dare you to make me laugh.' I always take the dare, and nothing gives me more joy than to bring a reluctant, shamed-faced grin on such a face." Why She Is Strong. "Where did you get all your strength from. Miss Moore? You certainly don't look robust, but you whir! around that stage and exude enough vitality to exhaust a giantess I should think you'd be done up after each perform ance.” "Do you know I'm not the least con scious of it, until I come off and look over my gown, which is generally in shreds after the performance. This dress tells the story of how hard I work," and Miss Moore looked ruefully at her spangled frock and put her fin ger through numerous tears that bore witness to that evening's strenuous performance. Though we were getting on nicely in a conversational way. 1 hadn’t found out yet what was the secret power in this extraordinary young woman who can make a big audience laugh at her antics on the stage, and who Is so ear nest, so simple and unaffected, so any thing but comic in private life. She was still sitting on the tonring trunk, brushing her long mane of hair, which, unlike ordinary theatrical hair, grows on her own head and not on the dressing table. "Miss Moore, do tell me how you do it. Your llfeF is harder and more strenuous than that of the average woman in the audience. You have to be keyed up to a certain pitch every night to get your audience, and yet you don’t look tired; in fact, you look younger off the stage than on it. Now confess, what do you do when you get to this theater feeling that you haven't any vitality or any strength to work with, and yet knowing tha' you must play your part with all your usual vivacity?” Miss Moore looked at me with those deep, penetrating eyes from which all mirth and roguishness were banished, and said: "I pray. I'm a Christian Scientist, and it often happens that when I get out before that big audience, and feel my strength oozing from me. and my audience getting away. I just stand there and pray. "I may be saying a Joke with my lips, but right down in the bottom of my heart I'm praying for strength." There was no need of questioning her any further, for, despite the fact that she is known as the funniest woman on the stage, the secret of her power, which will be the secret of health and youth as long as she needs It. is a deep and spiritual one. which preachers and lecturers talk about, but which few can demonstrate as success fully as this comedienne.
