FOR SWEH11I FEET
1
An Easy-Jo-Bc-Had Reniciiy for
This Rather Distress
tog, Trouble.
1 Thero arc two things which you
can do to obtain prompt relief. The.
first is, batho thd feet every night
with puro soap, using hot:water, as
hot as bearable; but at. UrV ond of
the bath, dash cold vater upon
them. This latter tightens up the
pores and strengthens the skin's' vl-
1 iTilty. Wipe tho skin dry by means
of very vigorous rubbing Thor
oughly pick and scrape J away all
the dead, loose skin which has
found lodgment between the toes.
Oftentimes thero will be 'a great
mass of this dead, loose- skin be
tween the toes, and It Is absolutely
Important that the Inner toe sur
face bo kept as clean and vigorous
as the skin of your hands; Also,
keep the toenails well manicured.
Just before climbing Into bed,
jmop upon the soles of your feet a
I solution malo of pure alcohol, into
one pint of which is dissolved one
half an ounce of tho powder of sal
icylic acid. " Every evening, on re
turning home from your day's
work, you should shift Into dry
stockings and a dry pair of shoes.
It will aid you greatly to bathe
your feet at this time also, accord
ing to the above regime; and, If
you have tho necessary time, you
can even mop the salicylic solution
our feet at thU.tlmo also, in
Add
rsroi
ddltlon to tho bedtime treatment.
ou will, however, " have to wipe
the salicylic solution off your feet
"before putting on your' stockings
and shoes; but, remember this, do
not wipe off the salicylic solution
before climbing Into bed. Let It
tlry on the feet.
Don't be afraid to briskly rub
the skin of the feet after ercli bath.
It serves to Increase flie skin vigor
and to purify the sweat glands.
The second thing Is, rise up on
, your toes fifty times after each
Tfcopt bath. Rise as high as you
can, keeping tho Inner bono of the
knee on a straight plumb line with
the inner bone of the ankle and tho
"big toe. Then rlee up on your heels
fifty times. These two oxerclses
"bring into play two sets c muscles,
Btlf-up a bettor clreulatiorof blood
In the body of your feet and have a
cleansing, strengthening tffect gen
erally. If your feet begin to- sweat after
these two exercises, dash them sud
denly Into a basin of cold water,
Just for tho shock and the invlgora
tlon. These simple lines of home
'treatment will euro sweating, odor
ous feet, If persisted in faithfully
for at least two weeks. Try it and
see.' You'll wonder why you did
not adopt some such simple meth
od long. ago.

Frofessor Zephanlnh Iloppcr, hale
and vigorous at eight-eight, said at the
Thlladcdphla high school, where be
has taught fifty years:
"My advice to the young Is that they
sow no wild oats. Wild onts in youth
mean an old age snd and decrepit
And yet the wny some people talk
you'd tlifuki that wild onts were as cs.
scntlal a part of youth as domesticated
oats are an essential part of Scotland.
"A friend of mine In Scotland said to
a boy:
"'What do you havo for breakfast
hereabouts?'
" 'Porridge. was the answer.
" 'And for dinner?'
" 'Porridge.'
" 'And for supper?

A UUiULAIV
And What Happened After
the Holdup.
T By HARRIET LEMMIE SMITH.

Scott sat on the step of the gulldlinll
and fanned - himself with hi lint,
ihrough the open door came tho sound
of femlniiio voices, animated and
onger. Tho young man's eyes scanned
the landscape with something of wist
fulness in their depths. Ho had noticed
one or two pretty girls In the throng
of oldor women who were engineering
the church supper, but apparently the.v
wore nil too busy for conversational
advances, lie reflected with n sense
of Injury that his visit was opening
tamely.
"Chester!" It was his aunt's brisk
voice, nnd Scott rose with alacrity. En
ergetic Aunt Anne liked tp see people
busy. In her summons he read a prom
ise of occupation and welcomed It re
gardless of its nature. Nor was he
destined to be disappointed.
" "This Is my nephew, Mr. Scott." said
Aunt Anne, addressing a group of la
dies, who acknowledged the Introduc
tion by a collective smile. "And he'll
be delighted to do any little errands
for us," she added generously. "Now.
Mrs. Anderson, tell him about your
spoons."
Mrs. Anderson beamed gratefully on
tho young man. "I'm sure It's awfully
kind of you. Mr. Scott. You see. we're
short of spoons, and I want to send you
for iiilne. Do you know Fayette street?
Yes, it crosses Main nt right angles,
and my house is a yellow cottage on
the right, with woodbine over the
porch. You'll And the key under the
mat. Go straight through the hall Into
tho dining room, and the spoons nre
In the loft hand drawer of the side
board. It's Just lovely of you to help
us out. Mr. Scott."
The other ladles murmured nsont,
nnd one or two of the younger Hashed
appreciative rlniices in his direction
Scott's spirits rose. He promised a
speedy return and started ou li's er
rand, reflci'tliiif ns lie went on the re
freshing confidence of it community
which left Its keys under the dcor
mats and permitted strangers to linvp
access to Its homes.
He had no dllllculty In finding the
yellow cottage, and the key was In IK
place. He made Ills way through the
silent IinII Into the dining room, and
hero he eu ountered his Urst check
The spoons were not In the drawers of
the sideboard. In fact, they were not
in the sideboard at, all. though he ran
sacked ll thoroughly to make sure.
Opening the closet "door, he was re
warded b.V the sight of a well stocked
silver chest, and he possessed himself
of the spoons, promising himself n
Inugli nt the expense of the owuer of
the silver, whuse uiemoiy was so mire
liable.
"Hold up your bunds!"
The inquest came In tones whose de
termination could not be mistaken, mid
Scott spun on Ills heel to And hlmseir

with very white clieeks and absurdly
long lashes. She vore a gurileii hat.
beneath which little tendril-like cutis
festooned themselves about her fore
head. Under other circumstances Scott
would Imvo voted her charming.
"Hold up your hands!" said the ghi
auulu. And Scott obeyed, reflecting
dint It was better to humor her llrst
;iud explain afterward. The spoons In
his pocket seemed to weigh a ton. lie
Celt hot uud ridiculous."
"Your mother asked me" he begun
The girl interrupted him. "I have
uo mother. Your excuses will oniy
iiinku a bad matter worse."
Scott bit Ills lip. Absurd as the situ
ation was, it hud n serious side. He
spoke with as much dignity as wn
consistent with standing before a lieiiu
tlful girl with Ids bunds ou u level with
his ears. "I was requested to come
here by tint huly of the hoifte." lie in
sisted. "Oh. Indeed! Then perhaps you will
tell mo her tin me."
Scott racked his bralu. In the dis

knowledged, "hut she Is n dark haired

with ti "good deal of color." He would
have gone further with his descrip
tion, but the young woman cheeked
Uiin by ii gesture not to lie misunder

preposterous (let Ion," she said wither
Ingly. "Evidently you ure not as
shrewd us you think yourself. It hap
pens that I am the lady of this house.
and 1 am going to keep you right here
until my uncle comes."
Scott cursed his folly. Doubtless
there wero yellow cottages on every
block and all tho neighborhood kept Its
keys under the door mat. Ho tried to
nay something about a mistake, but
he would not listen. Keeping her eye
upon blm. she seated herself deliber
ately. "Please do not move," she said,
"or I shall be compelled to.sboot, and
that would be very disagreeable for
rae and considerably worse for you,"
la the position be was compelled to

fttatfy for studying his captor. She

ill I J i i ill n n r
eyes could not hide their depth and
luster. The pallor of her cheeks failed
to disguise, their exquisite curves. The
hand that held tho revolver was n very
shapely one. It pained him to notice
that tho girl wns gradually growing
nervous. Her hand trembled. Her
bosom rose and fell as If sobs wero
struggling to escape. Once or twice
her eyes seemed almost to waver be
fore his own. "Stop looking n( me like
that!" she suddenly commanded.
"I beg your pardon," said Scott hum
bly and looked nt tho floor. Now that
he no longer had her fnCe to distract
him he realized that tlie unaccustomed
position of his arms was n most un
comfortable one. A twinge of pain
contracted his face, and he sighed.
"Does It hurt?" asked the holder of
the revolver, with n grim pleasure In
tho situation.
"It does," Scott acknowledged feel
ingly. "On tho whole," observed the girl,
"it is probably less painful thnn n
term In the penitentiary."
"I have no doubt that you are right."
ScoU agreed politely.
silence fell between them nfter this.
They wero still for so long that n little
mouso crept out of the closet and
scuttled like n fleck of gray cloud
across the room. The girl cried out
and dropped the revolver. "Allow me."
said Scott, nnd ho picked It up nnd re
turned It to her. Then he again raised
his hands.
A becoming flush routed the girl's
pallor. "I guess you needn't do that
any longer," she said. "And perhaps
you would be more comfortable If you
sat down."
"Thank you," Scott said gratefully
and dropped Into a chair, rubbing ills
nclilug arms with unfeigned relief
After a minute or two he was shock
ed to discover that the girl was In
tears.
"I don't see." she sobbed, "why nny
ono who can be as courteous ns you
and ns considerate should ever have
taken up burglary."
"My denr girl." cried Scott. "I'm no
more a burglar than you nre. I am a
gentleman, ns you ought to begin to
realize by this time. Miss Anne llags
by is my aunt, nnd I stopped off here
this morning on my wny east to pav
her a few days' visit. There is to be
a supper at the guildhall. In which she
Is Interested, and ns they were short
of spoons one of the women sent mo
nfter hers."
"It couldn't have been" the girl be
gan, and then she stopped. There wns
a sound of footsteps In the hall. A
well built, middle aged man came Into
the dining room with n cheerful "Well,
Amy." nnd then stopped stock still In
surprise.
With a dexterous movement the glr!
had pulled the folds of her dress over
the revolver. "Undo Charlie." she fal
tered, "this is a friend of mine, a
nephew of Miss Anne Hngsby."
The middle nged man advanced cor
dially. "I'm very glad to meet you.
Mr." He threw a reproachful glance
at the girl, blushing In the background.
Scott sqlzed his outstretched hand.
"Scott Chester Scott. My aunt is in
terested In a church supper which Is
to take place this evening, and as they
were short of spoons she sent me out
to borrow some. Miss Amy has kindly
consented to lepd me two doren nnd to
give me her company at the supper."
"Oh. Indeed! Well. I shaM hope to
see j on again. Mr. Scott. -Are you
staying long?" asked the middle aged
man, quite unconscious of a dramatlc
dlsphty of Indignation behind his back.
"1 may slay sometime, I'm not quite
sure." said Scott cautiously. "And now.
Miss Amy. I'm nfruid If we don't start
nt once they'll send out a searching
party for us."
When they were outside she handed
him the revolver. "You have the spoons,
and you might us well have this, too."
she said dellantly. "And If you turn
out' to be n Rallies sort of person I'm
disgraced."
He laughed at her tenderly. "You
know you believe In me." he declared,
"without nny more explanations."- And
something In ills glance struck sparks
from hers.
Aunt Anne wns watching for him on
the guildhall steps. "Chester Scott,
where have you been so long with, those
spoons?" Then, recoguhlug his coin
anion.' she stared helplessly. "Why
Amy Tray nor!"
"Miss Trnynor and 1 nre going for n
dtlle walk." said her nephew, "lull
we'll be buck with good appetites foi
supper. Here are some spoons whirl
Miss Traynor has kindly lent."
He handed them over, and the pall
moved ou. Mrs. Anderson laughed ai
her friend's bewildered air.
"So that was tlie attraction." slit
said. ,
"I didn't even know that Chester wiu
.icquainted with her." sighed Aunt
Mine. "I was Inking all the credit of
'lis coming to myself."
Mrs Anderson laughed again. "1
I'liess It's n settled thing nil tight." she
-aid. "Judging from the wny he lookity
'.t her and the way she blushed at hlio
Well. I'm glad If Amy Trnynor has
