"Don't eh," he said, groping
in his mind for a solution.
"No. You forgot to send me
that promised form of agreement,
didn't you? Thought you'd foiled
me, perhaps. Well, I wouldn't be
so foolish as to expect anything in
the way of fair and honorable
dealing when I contract to do up
a mining swindler for the benefit
of the only meaner creature on
(lod's carth —a patent medicine
poisoner. So I took precautions."
"Say, be careful of what you
say, young man," blustered the
quack.
"I am—quite particular. And
before you leave, wouldn't you
like to hear about the five thou
sand dollars I got fur my little
job?"
Doctor Hoff blinked rapidly.
"What dldje say?" he finally in
quired.
"Five—-cr —thousand—er—-dol-
lars."
"You got It?"
"In the bank."
"Where-dje get It?"
"From you, through your son's
check, duly certified."
Doctor Hoff blinked more rap-
Idly and moistened his lips with
an effortful tongue.
"H-h-how-dje work It " he ask
ed in a die-away voice.
"By the forced sale of water
rights to the North Pinto Gold

which Mr. Roderick Hoff was vice

plied Average Jones with an ami
able smile, as he opened the door
significantly.

Bertram, his elegance undim

P. McDougall, 1107 S. Sixteenth
St., Tacoma, Wash., Bays. "In
September, 1906, I told in a pub
lic statement of my experience
with Doan's Kidney Pills and at
this time I am glad to say that I
have had no need of a kidney
medicine since. I was confined
to my bed for five weeks by an
attack of lumbago, and the doctor
told me the complaint was a re
sult of a strain. The pain was so
severe that I could not arise or
turn over and I was practically
helpless. I was given several
electrical treatments, but the re
lief was only temporary. Doan's
Kidney Pills were finally procured
for me and I soon found them to
be the remedy I needed, getting
great relief."

"Haven't even caught up with
the clippings that Simpson floods
me with, (since I came hack," con
fessed the other. "What have you
got up your faultlessly creased
sleeve It's got to be something
different to rouse me from a-well
earned lethargy."
"Because a man huncoPS a lov
ing father out of five thousand
dollars" —Average ,Ion«-s snorted
gently—"ls no reason why he
should unanimously elect hlnißPlf
a life member of the Sons of Idle
ness," murmured Bertram.
He cast an eye around the
uniquely decorated walls, upon
which hung, here, the Khrleklng
prospectus of a mythical gold
mine; there a small but venemous
political placard, and on all sides
examples of the uncouth or un
usual in paid print; exploitations
of grotesque quackeries; appeals,
business-like, absurd, or e,vcn pas
sionate, in the form of "Wants;"
threats thinly dlHguised as "Per
sonals;" dim suggestions of crime,
of fraud, of hope, of tragedy, of
mania, all decorated with the stars
of "paid matter" or designated by
tlie Adv. sign, and each represent
ing some case brought to A. Jones
Ad-Visor —to quote his hybrid and
expressive doorplate—by some one
of hi« numerous and incongrous
clients.
"Something different?" repeat
ed his visitor, reverting to Aver
age Jones' last observation. "Well,
yes; I think so. Where is Bellair
Street?"
"Ask a directory. How should
I know?" retorted the other lazily.
"Sounds like old Greenwich Vil
lage."
Bertram reached over with a
cane of some pate, translucent
green wood, selected to match his
pale green tie and the marvelous
green opal which held it in place,
and prodded his friend severely
in the ribs. "Double-up Lucy;
the sun is in the sky!" he pro
claimed with unwonted energy,
"listen, t cut this out. of yester
day's Evening Register. With my
own fair hands I did it, to rouse
you from your shameless sloth,
with your kind attention, ladies
and gentlemen—" He read:

Slowly whirling in his chair.
Average Jones held out a hand,
received the clipping, read It
through with attention, laid It on
the desk, and yawned.
"Is that all?" said the indig
nant Bertram. "Do you notice
that 'unattached' In the opening
sentence? And the specification
that the applicant must be without
family Doesn't that inspire any
notion above a yawn in your pal
sied processes of mind?"
"It does; several notions. I
yawned," explained Average Jonee
with dignity, "because I perceive
with pain that I shall have to go
to work. What do you make of
the thing, yourself?"
"WeU, this man Smith—"
"What man Smith "
"Smith, of 74 Bellair Street,
who signs the ad."
Average Jones Laughed. "There
isn't any Smith," he said.
What do you know about It?"
demanded Bertram, sitting up.
"Only what the advertisement;
tells me. It was written by a
foreigner; that's too obvious for'
argument. 'Emolument generous.'l
'Apply In proper person.' Did a
Smith ever write that? No. A
Borgrevsky might have, or a
firplffenhauser, or even a Mavron
ovonpoulos. But never Smith."
"Well, It's nothing to me what
his name Is. Only I thought you
might be the aspiring young sci
entist he was yearning for."
"Wouldn't wonder if I were,
thank yon. Let's see. Bellalr
Street? Where's the directory?
Thanks. Yes, It Is Greenwich
Village. Well, I thing I'll Just
hi roll down that way and have a
look after dinner."

LABOR FOR SUFFRAGE
PORTLAND, Ore., April B.—
Women suffragettes are making
a systematic campaign to line up

when the amendment giving wo
men the right to vote comes up

The Central Labor council of
Portland is on record as favor-
Ing woman suffrage.

EVIL.
A salesman of the National ltln
cult Company whs lately talking to
I grocer In a Southern city who
had laid In a stock of soda crack
em put up In a 5 rent package and
made. by* a competitor of the Na
tional lllHcult Company. The gro
cer said that the reason he carried
the competitive article wan be
cause prices Oil the imitation (roods
were so much lower that It afford
ed him an extra profit, and that In*
thought he could work them off on
Ills customers In place of Unecda
Biscuit
While they were talking: a color
ed woman came into the store and
asked for a package of Uncnda Mis
cult. To show the National Ulscult
Company's Kulesman how easy It
was to substitute, the proprietor
himself waited on the woman
showing her the Imitation package
and advising her to take it, saying
that it was "Just as g%od" as
Unceda Hlscult. The colored wom
an hesitated, and then said: "No,
sail, <!••>• Is wanted for sickness, an'
my missus sen' mo for ITneeda Bis
cuit; she is mighty partlc'ler, an'
she know what she want, so gib
me Uneedti Biscuit, boss."
This Is only one of many similar
Instances that are constantly oc
curring In the effort to substitute
other goods when Uneeda Dlscult
aro asked for.
After all, Isn't the best cure for
substitution the making of first
class goods, anil then the advertis
ing of them to consumers so thor
oughly and persistently that, like
the colored woman, they are afraid
to take any risk in buying some
thing else? •••
