PLEADING KIS
NEPHEW'S CAUSE
What Happened to a Man
Who Wooed For Another.
"Uncle. I want your assistance."
"What's the matter, Joe?"
"You know Ellen Pickering?"
"Yes a lovely nirl."
"I want her. She is a very advan
tageous match. Help ine to get her."
"How can I help you7"
"Uncle, you are devoted to her moth
er—don't deny it—and the widow is
devoted to you. Your influence will
turn the scale in my favor."
•Tooh. boy! Do you suppose a man
of forty-live, an old bach, is a proper
person to 'interfere in love affairs? Be
sides, are you sure Miss Pickering
wishes to marry you?"
"No. I wish your intercession with
her too."
"Very well: I will see what I can
do."
The next evening Ma^or Joseph
Stone, feeling in honor bound to keep
his pledge to his nephew, called at Mrs.
Pickering's.
"I have come to plead a cause." he
said nervously. "Your daug titer is a
lovely woman, and 1 have come with
reference to a proposal—from one—
whose heart"—
The major broke down.
"Indeed!" The lady looked curious
and pleased.
"He may be a little off as to age"—
"That would be no objection. 1 as
sure you."
"Then his income is very limited
but. you see. I"—
"1 see very clearly, major. The in
come is of no consequence. My daugh
ter is very well off. What she wishes
is a man she can respect and love and
be proud of. The hero of—
"Pardon me. Heroism has nothing"—
"Not another word, major. Modesty
is the most charming of qualities. You
will find Ellen in the music room."
The major disappeared in the music
room, and at the same moment Miss
Pickering opened the door of the par
lor, where she had left her mother.
"Oh. Ellen. I thought you were in
there! Your hero has come to propose
for you. Fortunate girl! He is re
turning. I will leave you here." And
as the major re-entered the mother dis
appeared.
"Mamma was mistaken, major.
Here 1 am."
"I am glad to see you locking so
charming, for a woman cannot well
look charming without feeling charm
ing. This will make easier a delicate
mission I have to execute."
"1 am listening."
"I came to plead a cause, the cause
of one who loves you."
"Oh, major!" dropping her eyes.
"Yet one who admits that he needs
some friend to help him."
"He needs no one but my mother.
If she is pleased there is no one else
to be considered."
"Your mother sent me to you. wish
ing me success. She has noticed the
drift of this affair, and she will be de
lighted with the match. You see, you
have every good quality, while the
man, though a trifle young for you"—
"Ha. ha! What a pleasant irony!
The man is just the age I would
choose. You kuow I am a young thing
of twenty-eight."
"He has many estimable qualities. I
can assure you."
"Oh, major, how you amuse me! A
trifler! You are stumbling along as
you stumbled up San Juan hill."
"That was an pasy job compared
with this," taking out his handkerchief
and wiping the perspiration.
"I always said, major, even when a
little girl, that 1 would marry none but
a hero."
"That's too bad," disappqintedly.
"The heroism in this case—the heroism
of physical courage—has never yet
been proved, but I dare say up®n op
portunity"—
"You dean major! You say that as
Innocently as if it were really true.
Doubtless you think it so. The great
est heroes are the least aware of their
heroism. One thing I will admit—be
cause a man is a military hero it
doesn't follow that he has courage in
telling a woman he loves her."
"1 confess there is some cowardice
in this case. A man should not em
ploy any one but himself to plead his
cause with a woman."
"But mamma doesn't count, you
know. You can't be accused of cow
ardice for speaking to ber first. Ma
jor, you are as utterly unfitted for a
proposition of this kind as you proved
yourself fitted to lead men in battle."
"Well, then, to cut the matter short
you accept?"
"I do. most assuredly."
"Then, having nothing more to do. I
shall wish you a very good evening
and much happiness." moving away.
"Nothing more to do. major?" draw
ing very near and looking up at him
reproachfully.
"Nothing whatever. It's all settled."
"Then I have something to do."
Throwing her arms about the major,
she drew his face down till his lips
were within an inch of her own.
"I know you love me. dear major,
though you have been too blundering
to tell me so. and I love you dearly."
"By thunder!" exclaimed the major
internally, then externally: "Love you!
I have loved you since you were a
child."
"Confound that uncle of luine!" said
Joe Stone. Jr., shortly after io a friend.
"1 sent him to plead my CIUSP with
a girl, and he got her for himself."

LOCAL DRUCIST
MAKES A STATEMENT
We always advise people who have
stomach or bowel trouble to see a
doctor. But to those who do not wish
to do this we will say: try the mix
ture of simple buckthorn bark, gly
cerine, etc., known as Adler-i-ka. This
simple new remedy is so powerful
that JUST ONE DOSE relieves sour
stomach gas on the stomach and con
stipation INSTANTLY. People who
trv Adler-i-ka are surprised at Its
QUICK action.
