1., in. 1 didn't care, so b.ng as the
orders and boarders got filled and tho
payroll didn't have growing pains. I
had considerable faith In Brown's
Ideas, and he was as set on this one
as a Brahma lien ou a plaster nest
egg.
"It'll give sone to the shebang," says
be. ii erring to the hotel, "and we
want to keep the Old Home House as
high toned as a ten story organ facto
ry. And as for education, that's a
matter of taste. Me, I'd just as soon
have a waiter that bashfully admitted
'Wee, my dam,' as I would one that
pushed 'Shur-r-e, Moike!' edgeways
out of one corner of his mouth and
served the lettuce on top of the lob
ster from principle, to keep the green
above the red."
So It went his way finally, as I knew
it would, and when tiie Old Ilonie
opened up on June 1 the college
waiters was on hand. And they was
as nice a lot of boys as ever handled
plates and wiped dishes for their board
and $4 a week. And they made a hit
with the boarders, especially the wom
en folks. Before June was over the
Old Home was full up, and we had to
annex a couple of next door houses for
the leftovers
I was skipper for one of them houses,
and Jonadab run the other. Each of
us had a cook and a waiter, a house
keeper and an upstairs girl My house
keeper was the boss prize in the pack
age. Her uame was Mabel Seabury.
and she was young and quiet and as
pretty as the first .bunch of Mayflow
ers In the spring. And a lady—wbew!
The first time I set opposite to her at
table 1 made up my mind I wouldn't
drink out of my sasser if I scalded
the lining off my throat
She was city born and brought up,
but she wa'n't one of your common

counter princesses, with a head like
a dandelion pone to seed and a fish
net waist. You bet she wa'n't! Uer
dad htid had mouey once, afore he
triod to beat out Jonah and swallow
the- stock exchange whale.
The ouly trouble she made was first
alung, and that wa'n't her fault. I
thought at oue time we'd have to put
up :i wire fence to keep them college
waiters away from her. They hung
around her like a passel of gulls
around a herring boat. She was nice
to 'em, too, but when you're just so
nice to everybody and not nice enough
to any special oue the prospect ain't
encouraging. So they give It up, but
there wa'n't a male on the place,
from old Dr. Blatt. mixer of Blatt's
Burdock Bitters and Blatt's Balm For
Beauty, down to the boy that emptied
the ashes, who wouldn't have humped
himself on all fours and crawled eight
miles if she'd asked him to. And that
Includes me and Cap'n Jonadab, and
we're about as tough a couple of wo
men proof old hulks as you'll find
afloat.
One evening—along the second week
In July 'twas—l got up from the sup
per table and walked over toward the
hotel. By the gate I see a feller stand
ing, a feller with a leather bag In his
hand, a stranger.
"Good evening," says I. "Looking
for the hotel, was you?"
He swung round klDd of lazy-like
and looked at me. Then I noticed how
big be was. Seemed to me he was ail
of seven foot higb and broad accord
ing. And rigged up— my soul! "He had
on a wide felt hat with a whirligig
top on to it and a light checked suit
and gloves and slung more style than
a barber on Sunday.
"Good eveuing," says the seven foot
el, looking down and speaking to me
cheerful. "Is tbls the Old Ladies'
home—the Old Homo House, 1 should
say?"
"Yes, sir," says I, looking up rever
ent at that hat
"Right," he says. "Will you be good
enough to tell me where I can find
the proprietor? I'm looking for a Job."
"A Job!" I sings out "A Job?"
"Yes. I understand you employ col
lege men as waiters. I'm from Har
vard, and"—
"A waiter?" I says, so astonished
that 1 could hardly swaller. "Be you
a waiter?"
"I don't know. I've been told so.
Our coach used to say I was the best
waiter on the team. At any rate, I'll
try the experiment"
"But what for? You ain't short of
cash?"
"Ton bet!" he sa.vs. "Strapped!"
I went off and found Peter T.
You'd ought to seen Peter stare when
we hove In sight of the candidate.
"Tbuader!" says he. "Is this ex

I done the polite, mentioning Brown's
name, hesitating on t'other chap's.
"Kr—Jones," says tb» human light
house.
"Glad to meet you, Mr. Jones," says
Peter. "So you want to be a waiter,
do you? For how much per?"
"Oh, I dont know. I'll begin at the
bottom, being a green hand. Twenty
a week or so."
Brown choked. "The figure's all
right" he says, "only it covers a
month down here."
"Right!" says Jones, not a bit shook
up.
Peter stepped back and looked him
over.
"Jonesy," says he finally, "you'ro
on. Take him to the servants' quar
ters, Wlngate."
•Nest morning we was at the break
fast table in my branch establish
ment—me and Mabel and the live
boarders. All hands was doing their
best to start a famine in the fruit
tnarkvt, and Dr. Blatt was waving a
banana and cheering us with a yarn
about nu old lady that his Burdock
Bitters had h'isted bodily out of the
tomb when the kitchen door opens,

Mrs, Itounderbv took her measure

by the way site spread her wings over
"Maizie."' Hut I wa'n't watching her
Just then. 1 was looking at Mabel
Seabury—looking and wondering.
The housekeeper was white as the
tablecloth. She st.-ir.-d at tlie Jones
mun as if she couldn't believe her
eyes, and her breath come short aud
ijul'-k. 1 thought sure she was going
to cry. And what she ate of that
meal wouldn't have made a lunch for
a hearty bumming bird.
When 'twas finished I went out on
the i>orch to think things over. The
dining room winder was open, and
Jonesy was clearing the table. All of
a sudden I heard hltn say, low and
earnest:
"Well, aren't you going to speak to
me?"
The answer was in a girl's voice,
and I knew the voice. It said:
"You, you! How could you? Why
did you come?"
"You didn't think I could stay away,
did you'/"'
"But how did you know I was
here?"
"It took me a month, but 1 worked
it out finally. Aren't you glad to see
me?"
She burst out crying then, quiet, but
as if her heart was broke.
"Oh," she sobs, "how could you be
so cruel! And they've been so kind to
me here."
I went away then, thinking harder
than ever. At dinner Jonesy done the
waiting, but Mabel wa'n't on deck.
"A Job I" I slugs out "A Jubr

broke up. and says be:
"There's merry clink to pay," he
says. "Mabel's going to leave."
"No?" says 1. "She ain't neither!"*
"Yes. she is. She says she's going
foinorrer. She won't tell me why, and
I've argued with her for two hours.
She's going to quit, and I'd rather
enough sight quit myself. What']] we
do?" says he.
All round the place everybody was
talking about the "lovely" new waiter,
and to bear the girls go ou yon'd
think the Prince of Wales had landed.
I was busy thinkfrig. By 8 o'clock
I'd made up iny mind, and I went
hunting for Jones.
"Look here." says I. "Mr.—Mr."—
"Jones," says he.
"Oli, yes—Jones. It's a nice name."
"I remember it beautifully," says
he, smiling.
"All right. Mr. Jones. Pin going t#

He was surprised, I guess, but he
never turned a hair. "Indeed?" he
says. "jShe is the—the housekeeper.
Isn't she?"
"She was," says L "but sbe leaves
tomorrer morning "
That hit him between wind and wa
ter.
"No?" he sings out setting up
straight and staring at me. "Not
really?"
"You bef I says. "Now, down-In
this part of the chart we've como to
think more of that young lady than a
cat-does of the only kitten left out Of
the bag In the water bucket Let me
tell you about her."
So I went ahead, tailing him how
Mabel had come to us, why she come,
how woll she was liked, how much
she liked us and a whole lot more.
"And, now, all at once," says I, "she
gives up being happy and well and
contented, and won't eat, and cries,
and says she's going to leave. There's
a reason, and I'm going to make a
guess at It I believe It calls lt*>'f
Jones."
His under jaw pushed out a lktle,
and his eyebrows drew together. Bnt
all lie said was, "Well?"
"Yes," I says. "And, now, Mr.
Jones, I'm old and nosey maybe, but
I like that girl. Perhaps I might
come to like you too. You cant telL
Under them circumstances and with
the understanding that it didn't go no
farther maybe you might give me a
glimpse of the lay of the land. Pos
sibly I might have something to say
that would help. I'm fairly white un
derneath. if I be sunburned. What
do you think about it?"
He didn't answer right off; seemed
to be chewing it over. After a spell
he spoke.
"Mr. Wlngate," says he, "with the
understanding that you mentioned I
don't mind supposing a case. Sup
pose you was a chap in college. Sup
pose you met a girl In the vicinity
that was—well, was about the best
ever. Suppose you came to find that
life wasn't worth a continental with

a dad with money—lots of money.
Suppose the old to —the gov'nor, 1

from you and wouldn't tell where she'd

enough supposing. I don't kuow why
I'm telling you these things anyway."
He stopped and scowled at the
floor, acting like he was sorry lie
spoke. I pulled at my pipe a minute
or so, and then says I:
"Hum:" 1 says. "I presume likely
It's fair to suppose that this break
witli the old gent Is for good?"
lie didn't answer. But he didn't
need to. The look on his face was
enough.
"Yes," says I. "Well, It's likewise to
be supposed that the idea—the even
tual idea-Is marriage, straight mar
riage, hey?"
lie jumped out of his chair. "Why,
! cuss you!" he says. "I'll"
"All right. Set down and be nice.
I I was fairly sure of my soundings, but
I it don't do no harm to heave the lead.
I I ask jour pardon. Well, what you

i He set down, but he looked more
I troubled than ever. I was sorry for
hhn. I couldn't help liking the boy.
"Suppose she keeps her word and
goes away," says I, "what then?"
"I'll go after her."
"Suppose she still sticks to her prin
ciples and won't have you, wliere'll
you go then?"
"To the hereafter," says he, naming
the station at the end of the route.
"Oh, well, there's no hurry about
that Most of us are sure of a free
ene way pass to that port some time
or other, 'cording to the parson's telL
See here, Jonesl Let's look at this
thing like a couple of men, not chil
dren. The way to show a young wo
man like her that you mean business
and are going to be worth cooking
meals for is to get the best place you
can and start in to earn a living aud
save money. Now, Mr. Brown's fa
ther-in-law is a man by the name of
Dillaway, Dillaway of the Consolidat
ed Cash Stores. He'll do things for
■lie if I ask him to. and 1 happen to
know that he's just started a branch
up to Providence aud Is there now
Supiwse 1 give you a note to him, ask
ing him as a favor to me to give you
the best job he can. Ile'll do it, I
know. After that it's up to you. This
Is, of course, providing that you start
for Providence tomorrei- morning.
What d'you say?"
He was thinking bard. "Suppose I
don't make good?" he says.
"Oh, suppose your granny's pet
hen hatched turkeys," I says, get
ting impatient "I'll risk your makiug
good."
"Mr. Wlugate." says he, "It's a deal."
"Good enough!" I says. "Now, you
go and tell her, aud I'll write the let
ter to Dillaway."
So the next forenoon Peter T. Brown
was joyful all up one side because
Mabel had said she'd stay and mourn
ful all down the other because his pet
college giant had quit almost afore he
started.
I went up to the deiiot with Jonesy
to see him off.
"Goodby, old man," he says, shak
ing hands. "You'll write me once in
awhile telling me bow she Is, and—
end so on?"
"Bet your says I. "I'll keep you
posted up."
July and the first two weeks in Au
gust moped along, and everything at
the Old Home House *->.>pt about (he
same. Mabel was In mighty good spir
its for her, and she got prettier every
day. 1 bad considerable fun with
Cap'n Jonadab over bis not landing
a rich husband for the Seabury girl.
Looked like the millionaire crop was
going to be a failure that summer.
But one moralng he comes to uie, ex
cited as a mouse at a cat show, and
says he:
"Ah, ha! What did I tell you? I've
got one!"
"I see you have." says I. "Want
me to send for the doctor?"
"Stop your foollshlng." he says. "I
mean I've got a millionaire. He's
coming tonight too."
I managed to find out that the new
boarder was a big banker from New
York, name of Van Wedderburn. with
a barrel of cash and a hogshead of
dyspepsy.
"And I've fixed it that he's to stop
at your house. Barzilla," crows Jona
dab. "And when he sees Mabel—well,
you know what she's done to the other
men folks," he says.
"Humph!" says I. "Maybe he's got
dyspepsy of the heart along with the
other kind. What makes i-ou so cock
sartln?"
"'Cause he's a widower." lie says
"Them's the softest kind."
"Well, you ought to know." 1 told
him. "Bet you 75 cents to a quarter
it don't work."
Ho wouldn't take me, having scru
ples against betting, except when he
bad the answer In his pocket But be
went away cackling Joyful, and that
night Van Wedderburu arrived.
Van was a substantial looking old
relic, built on the lines of the Boston
atatehouse. broad In the beam and
with a shiny dome on top. I jedged
the meals at our table would be as
agreeable as a dog fight
However, 'twas up to me, and I
towed him In aud made him Acquaint
ed with Mabel. She wa'n't enthusias
tic until I mentioned his name. Then
she gave a little gasp-like. When Van
bad gone up to his rooms, puffing like
a donkey engine and growling 'cause
there wa'n't no elevators, she took me
by the arm and says she:
"W bat did you say his uame was,
Mr. Wingate?"
"Van Wedderburn," says L
"Not of Vau Wedderburn & Hamil
ton, the bankers?" she asks, eager.
"That'a him," aaya I. "Why? Do
you know him?"
"Oh, no," she says, "I don't know
hlin, but I kuow of bim—everybody
does."
Well, everybody did. that's a fact
and the way Marin Bounderby and
"Malzle" was togged out at the supper
table was a sin and a shame.
But what surprised me was Mabel
Seabury. She was dressed up, too—
not in the Bounderbys' style—collar
bones and diamonds—but in plain
white, with lace fuzz, if sbe wa'n't
peaches and cream then all you need
la lettuce to make me a lobster salad.
And she waa as nice to Van as if he
waa old Deuteronomy out of the Bi
ble. He set down to that meal with a
toce on him like a pair of nutcrackers,
and afore 'twaa over he was laughing
and eaUng apple pie and telling funny
yarna about robbing his "frieu<W in
the street I judged he'd be sorry for
It afore morning, but I didn't care for
that I waa kind of worried myself:
didn't understand it
And I understood it less and less aa
the daya went by. Mabel cooked little
special dlabea for bis dyspepsy to
play with and aet with him on the pl-
UM jamUurs and laughed at Us
jokes and tfie mmi Knows wnat. In
side of a fortni't lio was a gone goose,
which wa'n't surprising, every other
man being in the same fix. but 'twas
surprising !o spe her helping tlie gone
ness along. The Bounelerbys packed
up and lit out in ten days, and noue
of the other women would sjteak to
Mabel.
And Jonaelab! lie wa'n't lit to live
with. The third forenoon after Van
Wedderburn ,-ot there he come around
and took the quarter bet. And the
way he crowed over me made my
hands itch for a rop.'s end. That
uight I dropped a line to poor Jouesy
at Providence telling lilni that If he
could get a day ofT may lie he'd better
come down to Wellmouth and see to
his fences.
The next day was Labor day, and
. what was left of the boarders was
going for a Una I picnic over to Baker's
: grove at Ostable. We went, three cat
| boats full of us, and Van and Mabel
I Seabury was In the same boat. We
| made the grove all right, and me and
| Jonadab had our hands full, baking
clams and chasing spiders out of the
milk and doing all the chores that
makes a picnic so Joyfully miserable.
When the dinner dishes was washed
I went off by myself to a quiet bunch
of bayberry bushes half a mile from
the grove and laid down to rest, be
ing beat out.
I guess I fell asleep, and what woke
uie was somebody speaking close by.
"Oh. nor* says Mabel Seabury,
dreadful nervous and hurrled-llke.
"Oh, no! Mr. Van Wedderburn, please
don't say any more."
"Do you mean that—really mean
it?" asks Van, hl3 voice rather shaky
and seemingly a good deal upset. "My
dear young lady, 1 realize that I'm
twice your age and more, and I sup
pose that I was an old fool to hope,
tout I did hope—l Can't you?"
"No!" says she. more nervous than
ever and shaky, too, but decided. "No!
Oh, 110! It's all my fault I'm—l'm—
so sorry. Please forgive me."
That night as I passed the lilac
bushes by the gate somebody steps out
and grabs my arm. I Jumped, looked
up. and there, glaring down at me out
of the clouds, was Friend Jones from
Providence. R. I.
"Wlngate," he whispers, fierce, "who
la the man and where is he?"
"Easy." 1 begs, "easy on that arm. 1
might want to use it again. What
man?"
"That mail you wrote me about
Pre come down here to Interview
him."
"Oh. it's all right now," says L
"There was an old rooster from New
York who was acting too skittish to
suit me. but I guess It's all off. He's a
hundred years old or so—name of Van
Wedderburn."
"WhatT' he says, pinching uiy arm
till I could all but feel his thumb and
finger meet. "What? Sto > Joking I'm
not funny tonight."
"It's uo Joke." says I. trying to put
my arm together again. "Van Wedder-

burn Is his name. Course you've heard
nf hlnj Whv there he Is uow!"
Sure enough, there was Van, stain
ing like a statue of misery ou the
front porch of the tnnln hotel. Jonesy
stared and stared.
"Is that the man?" be says, choking
up. "Was be sweet on Mabel?"
"Sweeter 'n a molasses stopper,"
says I. "But he's going away In a
day or so."
lie commenced to laugh, and I
thought lie'd never stop.
"What's the Joke?" I asks after a
year or so of tbla foolishness. "Let
me In. won't you?"
He stopped long enough to ask one
more question. "Tell me, for the
Lord's sake!" says he. "Did she know
who he was?"
"Sartln," says L "So did every oth
er woman around the place. You'd
think so If—
He walked off then, laughing him
self Into a fit "Good night, old man,"
he says between spasms. "See you
later."
If be hadn't been so big I cal'lated
I'd bare risked a kick.
A whole lot of the boarders had gone
on the evening train, and at our bouse
Van Wedderburn was the only one
left. He and Mabel and me was the
full crew at the breakfast table the
follering morning. The fruit season
was a quiet one. I done all the talk
ing there was. Every time the broker
and the housekeeper looked at each
other they turned red.
Finally 'twas "chopped bay" time,
and in comes the waiter with the tray.
And again we bad a surprise, just like
the one back In July. Percy wa'n't on
hand, and Jonesy was.
But the other surprise wa'n't nothing
to this one. The Sectary girl was
mightily set back, but old Van was
paralyzed.
"Cereal, sir?" asks Jones, polite as
ever.
"Why— why, yoo—yoo rascal !" hol
lers Van Wedderburn. "What are you
doing here?"
"I have a few days' vacation from
my position at Providence, air," an
■wers Jones.
"Why, Robert!" exclaims Mnhel Sea
bury.
Van swung around like he was on a
pivot "Do you know him?" he pauts,
wild as a coot
Twa* the waiter himself that an
swered.
"She knows me. father." he says.
In fact she is the young lady 1 told
yon about last spring "
Did you ever see (he tide K o out

4arhiiro.
Well, I guess that's about all. Van
senior took it enough sight more
graceful than you'd expect under the
circumstances. He went straight up
to his room aDd never showed up till
supper time. Then he marches to
where Mabel and his son was on the
porch, a ltd says he:
"Bob." he says, "If you don't marry
this young lady within a mouth I'll
disowu you for good this time. You've
got more sense than I thought. Mess
ed If I see who you Inherit it from!"
Jonadab ain't paid me the quarter
yet. He says the bet was that she'd
land a millionaire and a Van Wedder
burn afore the season ended, acid sl<.9
did. So he Aggers that he won the
bet. Iliin and me got wedding cards
n week ago, so I suppose "Jouesy" and
Mabel are on their honeymoon now.
I wonder If she's ever told her hus

for a woman that ever I see. I'll gam
ble she ain't said a word about It.

rjIHK TELEPHONE is the Coal Man's Rest Salesman.
Many of his customers he never sees, for their orders
borne by wire and their checks by mail,
If you move into a new house or have an unexpected need of
fuel, you can often save a day's time by telephoning your order.
In the mining and shipping of Coal, the Bell Telephone has
become an important factor. The wholesale markets- and sour
ces of supply are kept in constant touch with the Hell Long Dis
tance Service, and the danger of a coal famine greatly reduced.

The body of t'.o average man contains
phosphorus : l;icicnt to make •is;t,sK
matches, en.• to till aiiout O,OUG boxes,
allowing i . y matches to the box.
Phosphorus ...'o of fourteen elements
entering into the composition of the body.
It is divided "M.»jng tiiu bones, flesh, nerv
ous system. ; d other organs. Wi.-hout
phosphori:-- br..in would be weak, the
ln*ly foohie, and the bones would di.-in
tegrato leaving man a squid y inverte
brate squirming in the dust. The perfect
health of t'ao human body requires a per
fect balance of the constituent elements
of which it is composed. The carbon.
Iron, lime, sulphur, sodium, etc., must all
be replaced as they are used up in hiiii.au
euerry. Take all the iron from the Mo-.J
and the circulation stops. That's death.
Change the proper proportion of these
substances to each other, destroy their
Natural balance in the body, and }uu de
stroy the balance of health.
Till: FOOt> V.K EAT.
Where do these essential element? ol
vital force come from? From the food
we eat. How are they extracted and dis
tribiite.l to the several organs they sus
tain? The are extracted and distributed
by the stomach and other organs of di
gestion and nutrition. What haptens
when the stomach is "weak"? The toed
is only partly digested and assimilated.
And then what? Then the balance of
health is oc troyed and there's blood
"trouble," nerve "trouble," lung "trouble,'
heart "trouble." or some other "trouble'
with the vital organs of the body, l'ain
ij the hunger try of the starved organs.
What then is tho logical lirst step tc
health V
I'ut the stomach mid ori/ons of diijtsticm
and nutrition into n condition of sound
hoilth. That is just what is done by Dr.
Pierce's (lolden Medical Discovery and
that is just the secret of the many mar
velous cures effected by this remedy.
No medicine can make fat or flesh.
Food alone can make them. Only the
stomach and its allied organs can ex
tract front the food tho elements that
mako flesh and fat and sustain life.
" Nerve fix ids," " blood-m a k i ng " medicines,
are mere fads and fallacies. The stomach
and organs of digestion and nutrition pre
pare and distribute the food.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is not a cure-all. It does one thing. It
cures diseases of the stomach and organs
of digestion and nutrition. The rest Na
ture doe-. Nature feeds the' nerves, en
riches the blood, heals the luncs and re>-
stores the failing vital powers. "Golden
Medical Discovery" only removes tho
obstructions disease has put in Nature's
way.
There Is no alcohol In "Golden Medical
Discovery " and it contains neither opium,
cocaine nor any other narcotic. Doctor
Pierce holds no secrets from you—he tells
?ou that the "Discovery" contains tho
ollowing ingredients: Golden Seal root.
Queen's root. Stone root. Illack Cherry -
bark, I Mood root. Mandrake root and
Chemically Pure Glycerine.
From "Organic Medicines." by Grover
Coe, M. I)., of New York, wo extract tho
following: "Hydrastis (Golden Seal) ex
ercises an especial influence over mucous
surfaces. I pon tho liver it acts with
equal certainty and efficacy. As a chola
gogno (liver invigorator), It has few
equals. In affections of the spleen, and
alidominal viscera generally, it Is an
eflicicnt and reliable remedy. Also in
Scrofula, glandular diseases generally,
cutaneous emotion -, indigestion, debility,
diarrhu-a ana dysentery, constipation,
piles and all morbid and critical dis
charges."
F. Eilingwoexl. M. D„ says of Stone re>ot
(Collinsonia), "stimulates the stomach,
acts as a tonic to enfeebled muscular
structure of tho heart and has a direct
Influence upon atonic (weak) and dilated
or otherwise impaired conditions of tho
veins. It is a speciGc remedy in piles.
Ia catarrhal gastritis, where tno circula
tion is defective, it, either alone or com
bined with hydrastls, is of lirst import
ance. They Increase the apjietite and
greatly improve the digestion and assimi
lation of food. Good for rectal pains and
piles of the pregnant woman. Is a heart
tonic of direct and permanent influence.
Excellent in tho bicycle heart. In rheu
matic inflammation and clergyman's soro
throat."
American Dispensatory says of Blood
root, "stimulates digestive organs, in
croasos action of heart and arteries—
stimulant and tonic. Very valuable as a
coiiirh remedy—acts as a sedative —fur-
ther valuable as an alterative."
