-She Just Wanted
E to Be Sure.
E?A L ™ JAME;_;I—.;tRIGAN- K
Tasker, most patient of men,
gritted his teeth hard to hold back
the retort that hovered on his tongue.
Never had Millicent Kent been so
taltalizing, and to-day it seemed
doubly hard to bear. On the morrow
he must go back to the city to spend
the hot weather season at his desk.
Jim Tasker had snatched two brief
weeks with Miss Kent and most of
their waking hours had been spent in
her motor boat.
It had been an unhappy two weeks.
Millicent had never seemed so to de
light in teasing, and Jim’s restraint
was worn to the breaking point. Half
a dozen times that morning he had
been on the verge of a sharp answer,
and Millicent, lolling indolent in the
stern of the little craft, smiled wick
edly to herself and was moved to
fresh endeavors. '
This time she had almost drawn
blood. The nose of the boat swung
round . and headed for the channel
that presently would bring them in
sight of the hotel landing. !
“Jim.” Millicent’s voice was low
and clear. *“You are off your course.
Quagh is over to the left.”
“I know it,” was the quiet response.
“] am trying to get back to the
hotel.”
“But we were to have lunch on
Quagh,” she reminded. *“We don’t
want to get hack to the hotel yet.”
“I do,” was the short response. “I
want to get back there as quickly as
this boat will take me.”
“When I went to such pains to put
up a nice lunch,” expostulated the
girl, “and on your last day, too.”
“I can’t help that,”retorted Tasker.
“I have tried my best to keep my
temper in check, but you will not
have it so. You seem determined to
forée me to an outbreak.”
Miss Kent's face assumed an ex
pression of hurt surprise and her
voice was reproachful.
+ “Please turn, Jim,” she said, plead
ingly.
For an instant Tasker's grip on the
steering wheel faltered, but only for
an instant. The boat yawed slightly,
then held steady again.
“I said ‘please,” Jim,” reminded
Millicent.
&,s’« Tasker made no response.
#* For a few moments nothing was
said, then with a sound like a tired
sob the motor ceased its staccato ex-
Pplosions and scon the headway was
lost. The boat floated quiescent on
the still surface of the lake.
+ Still silent, Tasker sought to locate
the trouble. The spark was all right,
there was plenty of gasoline in the
tank under the seats, the feed pipe
was not clogged up, and yet there
was no delivery of the fuel.
'+ For full fifteen minutes he worked
over the motor, then he turned to
the smiling girl.
. “There is something the matter
with the machinery,” he announced
quietly. “I shall have to paddle in
somehow.”
“But you have no paddle,” remind
ed Millicent, “It’s a mile to the other
end. You can never make it.”
For answer Tasker caught up a
cross seat.and, using this as a paddle,
he began to move the boat slowly
through the water. It was hard work
and more than once Millicent urged
him to stop, but his only reply was a
determined shake of the head.
They had gome half the distance,
and already they could see an occa
sional boat slip past the opening of
the channel, but too far away to hail.
Millicent moved forward and sat
closer to Tasker.
“Jim,” she said softly,. “if I say
I’'m sorry, will you stop being foolish
and go on to the island?”
“Sorry for what you did on pur
pose?” he asked, bitterly. “During
the last two weeks you have done
nothing but try to irritate me.”
' %I know it,” confessed Millicent,

“To see if you had one,” she cor
rected, “You see,” she went on, “I've
kuown you five or six years, Jim, and
‘in all that time I never saw you in a
‘temper. I never could quite make
out whether it was because you were
without spirit or because you had
such perfect control of yourself, and
—1 just had to find out,” she added,
contritely.
“And you have made excelient use
of your time,” sald Tasker, bitterly.
“I've been tempted to throw you over
board a hundred times.” :
“I wish you had,” cried the girl,
with sparkling eyes., *“No woman
wants to marry a man with no spirit,”
she added, in explanation, “and I was
beginning to be afraid that that was
your case,
“But you will forgive me when I
tell you that my answer is ‘Yes?'"”
she demanded.
Tasker's face beamed. “Is it really
‘Yes' after all these negatives?” he
demanded.
Millicent nodded.
“1 wanted to be sure,” she ex
plained, as Tasker took her in his
arms.
“What a shame we can’t have lunch
on the island!” he cried regretfully
a few minutes later.
“But we can,” explained Millicent.
“T wanted to see if the stoppage of
the engine would not be the final
straw. I turned off the feed cock
and then sat over it. You were too
angry with me to ask me to move.”
She bent over and worked at a
shining bit of brass.
“Now, throw over the engine, and
we'll start on our betrothal party,”
she cried, gayly. “There’s a bottle of
pop in the hamper, and we'll drink to
the tame temper.—New York Even

The Facetious Suburbanite
By JOHN KENDRICK BANGS.
The second story man had climbed
into the front window of the face
tious suburbanite’s villa, and was en
gaged in rifling the latter’s pockets
of such random possessions as were
to be found therein.
“Ah, good evening, my friend,”
caid the facetious suburbanite, from
the depths of his bedclothes. *“Aren’t
you working overtime?”
“We can’t help it in our business,
governor,” replied the burglar. “We
ain’t got no reg’larly organized hours
of work. It's do it while you can
with us, day and night.”
“That’s a shame!” said the face
tious suburbanite. “You ought to get
together and form a burglars’ union
for your own protection.”
“We ain't a trade,” retorted the
burglar scornfuly. *“We're an indus
try.”
“Then you should be incorporated
in the Steal Trust;” said the facetious
suburbanite.
Whereupon the midnight marauder
laughed so long and loud that he was
overheard by the policeman on the
corner, who, recognizing the laugh,
immediately fled to a place of saiety.
—From Judge.
, ~ WISE WORD.
The only way to get all the happi
ness in life is to give for the happi
ness of all.
The devil is worried by the people
who work for the good, not by those
who worry over him.
Happiness never comes to any who
can enjoy it alone.
The lofty soul is often best mani
fested in the lowly service.
Reviewing old troubles is a sure
way of recruiting new ones.
It is easy to affect to despise the
things we can not understand.
The grace of forgiveness is not ac
quired by practicing it on yourself.
The best way to make sure of be
ing happy is to make some one else
glad.
The best way to worship the heav
enly child is to give some other child
some heaven.
He who waits to do good in some
notable way will never have any good
to note.
The most eloquent prayers for the
needy are the ones we carry to them
in baskets.
To follow only the light of your
own desires is to find yourself in the
darkness of self-disgust.
You may have a right to nurse sor
row for yourself, but you have no
right to let its shadow fall on others.

Recovery of a Measure.
The explorers were sitting, one on
each side of the president, when Dr.
Stein produced from Lkis waistcoat
pocket a srall spring tape measure in
a tiny aluminum drum. “It is a very
curious thing,” said Dr. Stein, “ but in
1906 when I was in eastern Tibet ]
picked up this measure at the fool
of an old ruin. I have carried it ev

One Way He Could Help.
An eastern college graduate
applied for work in a Mich
fgan lumber camp. He was
told to get tuay on one end of a
cross-saw, the other end being in
charge of an old and experienced lum
berman. At first all went well,” but
at the end of the second day the
young man’s strength began to wane.
Suddenly the old man stopped the
saw and spat.

o FOOD FACTS -
What an M. D. Learned.
A prominent Georgia physician
went through a food experience which
he makes public:
*lt was my own experience that
first led me to advocate Grape-Nuts
food and 1 also know, from having
prescribed it to convalescents and
other weak patients, that the food is
a wonderful rebuiider and restorer
of nerve and brain tissue, as well as
musecle. It improves the digestion
and sick patients always galn just as
I did in strength and weight very rap
idly.
“l was in such a low state that I
had to give up my work entirely, and
went to the mountains of this state,
but two months there did not improve
me; in fact, 1 was not quite as well as
when I left home.
“My food did not sustain me and
it became plain that I must change.
Then 1 began to use Grape-Nuts food
and in two weeks I could walk a mile
without fatigue, and in five weeks
returned to my home and practice,
taking up hard work again. Since
that time 1 have felt as well and
strong as I ever did in my life, :
“As a physician who seeks to help
all sufferers, 1 consider it a duty to
make these facts public.”
Trial 10 days on Grape-Nuts, when
the regular food does not seem to sus
tain the body, will work miracles.
