"Yes," said the doctor, "there Is
no, doubt about it; you are run down.
But that can soon be put right, as
you have had the sense to come to
me In time.'
He stopped speaking, and wrote

notepaper.
'Take this," he said, "to the
chemist, and get him to -make it Up

He was about to ask her father for
her hand in marriage, but he did not
feel nervous. As he carefuly var

in great distress.
"Well, Pat, what's wrong?"
"Shurd, sir, pi got the dimes
mixed, and don't know which is for
cheese and which is for biscuits."
