CHAPTER XXI.
A liar of Soap.
Late that evening Betty Mercer and
Dallas were writing verses of condo
lence to be signed by all of us and
put under the door into Jim's room
when Bella eame running down the
Stairs.
Dal was reading the tirst verse
when she came. "Binten to this, Bel
■ Ufc/’ hr- said triumphantly:
“There was a fat artist named Jas,
Who cruelly called his friends nas.
When, althoough shut up tight.
tie broke out over night
With a rash that is maddening, he
das.”
Then he caught sight of Bella’s face
ns she stood in the doorway, and
stopped.
“Jim is delirious!” she announced
tragically.
"You shut him In there all alone
and now he's delirious. I'll never for
give any of you.”
‘'Delirious!” everybody exclaimed.
“He was sane enough when 1 took
him his chicken brother.” Mr. Uarbl
9011 said. “Me was almost fluent.”
"lit Is stark, staring crazy,” Bella
Insisted hysterically. “I—I locked the
door carefully when I went down to
my dinner, and when 1 came up it—
It waa unlocked, and Jim was bab
bling on the bed, with a rheet over
hts face. Jle—he says the house is
haunted and he wants all the men to
come up and sit in the room with
him."
“Not on your life,” Max said. “1
am young, and my career has only
begun. 1 don't Intend to bo cut off
In the flower of my youth. But J'll
tell you what I will do; I'll take him
a drink. I can tie It to a pole or
something "
But Mr. Harblaon did not smile. Me
was thoughtful for a minute. Then:
'[ don’t believe he Is delirious." he
said quietly, "and I wouldn’t be sur
prised If he has happened on some
thing that—will be of general Inter
est. 1 think I will stay with him to
night.”
After that, of course, none of the
others would confess that he was
afraid, so with the South Ameri
can leading, they all went up-stairs.
The women of the party sat on the .
lower steps and listened, but every- j
thing was quiet. Now and then we
could hear the sound of voices, and ,
after a while there was a rapid slam - !
tntng of doors and the sound of some
one running down to the second floor.
Then quiet again.
None of us felt takative. Bella had i
followed the men up and had been
put out, and nit snllTilng by herself :
In the den. Aunt Selina was work
ing over a Jig-saw puzzle In the li
brary, and declaring that some of It
must be lost. Anne and Della Mercer
were embroidering, and Betty and I
sat Idle, our hands In our laps. The
whole atmoaphure of the house Was
mysterious. Anne told over again of !
the strange nolzes the night her neck- I
-lace was stolen Betty asked me attout
the time when the comfort slipped ,
from under my lingers. And when.
In the midst of the story, the tele- ,
phone rang. w« ail jumped and shriek- j
ed.
■In ’ an hour or so they sent for
Fiannigan, and he went up-stalrs. He
rame down again soon, however, and
rturned with something over his arm
-that looked tike a rope; It seemed to '
be made of all kinds of things tied
together, trunk straps, clothes line. '
bed sheets, and something that Flan- .
htgan pointed to with rage and said
he hadn't been able to keep his clothes
on all day. He refused to explain
further, however, and trailed the non
descript article up the atairf. We
could only gaze after him and won- j
der what it alt meant.
The conclave lasted far into the
night. The feminine contingent
went to bed, but not to sleep. Borne :
time after midnight Mr. Harblson and I
Max went down-stairs and I could
hear them rattling around testing win
dows and burglar alarms. But finally ,
every one settled down and the rest j
of the night was quiet.
Betty Mercer came Into my room
the next morning, Sunday, and said
Anne Brown wanted me. I went over j
at once, and Anne was sitting up in
bed, crying. Dal had slipped out of
the room at daylight, she said, and1
hadn't come back. He hap thought
she was asleep, but she wasn’t, and
she knew lie was dead, for nothing
ever made Dal get up on Sunday be
fore noon.
There was no one moving In the
holuse, and l hardly knew what to do. i
It was Betty who said she would go ;
up and rouse Mr. Harblson and Max,
! who had taken Jim's place In the
studio. She started out bravely
enough, but In a minute we heard
1 her (lying back. Anne grew perfectly
white.
"He's lying on the upper stairs!"
Hetty cried, and we all ran out. It
was quite true. Dal was lying on
the stairs in a hath robe, with one
»f Jim's Indian war clubs in his hand.
And he was sound asleep.
He looked somewhat embarrassed
when he roused and saw u* stand
ing around. He said he was going to
play a practical Joke on somebody
and fell asleep In the middle of It.
Anti Anne said he wast't evA?n an in
telligent liar, and went back to bed
in a temper. But Hetty came in with
me, and we sat and looked at each
other and didn't say much. The sit
uation was beyond us.
The doctor let Jim out the next day,
there having been nothing the matter
with him but a stomach rash. But
Jim was changed; he mooned around
Bella, of course, as before, but he
was abstracted at times, and alt that
day—Sunday—he ^wandered off by
himself, and one would come across
him unexpectedly in the basement or
along some of the unused back halls.
Aunt Selina held service that morn
ing. Jim said that ne always had a
prayer book, but that he'couldn't find
anything with so many people in the
house. So Aunt Selina read some re
ligious poetry out of the newspapers,
and gave us a valuable talk on De
ception versus Honesty, with me as
the Illustration.
Almost everybody took a nap after
luncheon. I stayed In the den and
read Ibsen, snd felt very mournful.
And after Hedda had shot herself. I
lay down on the divan and cried a
little—-over Hedda; she was young and
it was such a tragic ending-—and then
I fell asleep.
When I wakened Mr. Harbison was
standing by the table, and he held
my book in his hands. In view of the
armed neutrality between us, I ex
pected to see him bow to me curtly,
turn on his heel and leave the room.
Indeed, considering hts state of mind
the night before. I should hardly have
been surprised if he had thrown Hed
da st my head. (This la not a pun.
I detest him.) But Instead, when he
heard me move he glanced over at
me and even smiled a little.
“She wasn't worth It?" he said, in
dicating the book.
"Worth what?"
"Your tears. Y’ou were crying over
It, weren’t you?" .
"She was very unhappy, ' I assert
ed Indifferently. "She was married
and she loved some one else.”
“Do you really think she did?" he
asked. "And even so. was that a
reason?”
"The other man cared for her: he
may not have been able to help it."
"But he knew- that she was mar
ried." he said virtuously, and then
he taught my eye and he saw the
analogy instantly, for he colored hot
ly and put down the book.
"Most men argue that way." 1 said
"They argue by the book, and—they
do as they like.” •
He picked up s Japanese ivory pa
per weight from the table, and stood
balancing It across his finger.
"You are perfectly right," he said
at last. "1 deserve it all. My griev
ance is at myself. Y'our^—your beau
ty, and the fact that I thought you
were unhappy, put me—beside my
self. It is not an excuse; it is a
weak explanation. I win not rorget
myself again."
He was as abject as any one could
have wished, it was my minute of
triumph, but I cannot pretend that
1 was happy. Evidently it had been
only & pacing Impulse. If he had ’
really cared, now that he knew I
was free, ho would have forgotten 1
himself again at once. Then a new
explanation occurred to me. Sup- i
pose It had been Bella all the time, 1
and the real shock had been to find !
that She had been married!
"The fault of the situation was real
ly mine," I said magnanimously; "1
quite blame myself. Only, you must
believe one thing. You never fur
nished us any amusement.” 1 looked
ut him sidewise. The discovery that :
Bella and Jim were once married
must have been a great shock.
it was a surprise," he replied ev
enly. His voice and hts eyes were
Inscrutable. He returned my glance
steadily. It was infuriating to have
gone half way to meet him. as I had.
stnd then to find him Intrenched in
bis self-sufficiency again. I got up.
“It Is unfortunate that our ac
quaintance has begun so unfavorably,”
1 remarked, preparing to pass him.
'Under other circumstances we might
have been friends."

Brass Effective in Decoration
'■ 1b Striking Both bv Day and Can
dip Light, and Wears
j Forever.
■'Brass.” said a professional interim
decorator, ' is the color and metal 1
like host to deal with in dining room*
for summer houses. It is enormously
effective both by day and candle light;
It wears forever; rnaments of it are
turned to practical uses, and almost
never does one set- a silly' piece, an
atrocity to be abhorred by artistic
people.
"A matter most Important In all
decoration, you must understand, It
that objects whj. !i ornament shall
also have a reason for being. If you
stop to consider all the real works
‘ of art you ever saw or heard of. their
value and life lies In either the ex
treme deilca y «.f their execution,
which is craft, their coloring, which
Is art, or their shape. With the ex
ception of pictures, there is hardly a
piece known to collectors which was
not designed for a practical purpose
The Instant one leaves this latter
thought and selects an object which
could not be adapted to any use the
chances are that it will be inartistic
’ because it has no coherent reason
for having been executed.
"This may seem many removes
from brags in dining rooms, but is not.
because the metal, intelligently em
ployed, combines the requisites of or
j removed by covering them w ith mo
lasses, and some people use the same
remedy on colors. In my opinion, just
keeping the stains wet with alcohol
is the better plan, afterward gently
I sponging with a little warm water
| and soap.
A freshly made Ink stain will dis
appear If treated with hot milk, and
until-this is ready the spot should be
j covered with salt, which w ill absorb
| a good deal of the Ink. htor old ink
stains use ink eradicatons#
Stains caused by wine will generallj
disappear If covered with salt, but If
obstinate they should las treated as
directed for fruit.
Kust stains on white goods are not
difficult to remove. They may sole
ly be steeped In a solution of citric
acid one part and water twenty parts.
When the ru; t maiks have disappear
ed the goods should ba washed In
warm water.
So far as 1 know there Is no home
remedy for removing rust stains from
delicately colored fabrlca. The add
treatment as for white goods will re
move the rust, but the color comes
away also. Sometimes an application
of chloroform will restore the color,
and I have had a little success with
a Solution of ammonia andwater, tftit
jaot»uflirif.p.t to. ccnsldng.sttksa-a-c.om
plete success, i know of a man who
can remove rust from colored goods
without destroying the colot. but he
is a professional, and, of course, does

SMiHTS, YOU IiET
This is the story of a young detec
tive named Clarence Reilly.
Clarence went to New York to see
the sights. He went home without his
detective shield and without a hand
ful of hair that had previously adorn
ed his fair head. But he had some 1
bruises that he bad not brought to
New York, with him, but which he
took back to Jersey for food for the
mosquitoes.
Clarence stood at Twenty-eighth
street and Sixth avenue When Lena
Roseto, of SOS East I03d street, who
Is S* years old—eight years more than
Clarence—walked up to him and said,
(nament*. Every householder wants
an attractive room, and some orna
mentation is necessary. Take the
chimney piece, for instance. I have
been selecting articles for one to-day.
; The mantel ends with a square eol
' uffln at either end. the top of it be
ing Corinthian and at least ten inches
above the shelf. The structure ia not
: good in itself, because the columns
support nothing, so 1 have tried to
pull them Into a scheme. To do this
I have chosen two email brass pots of
artistic shape, one for the top of each
pillar, which thus becomes a legltl
| mate support. 1 mean to have the
pots always tilled with fresh flowers.
There are two tall Italian candlesticks
"Just below, at either end of the shelf.
They afe pottery, beautifully deco
rated, and at night hold lighted can
! dies. The centerpiece is a dish of the
:aame pottery.
“Blue predominates in the ware, so
you may fancy how brass lightens that
section of the wall.
i “On a side table is a great bras*
' candlestick holding nine candles, and
a low brass dish for flowers. Those
two pieces arc enough for that table,
over the sideboard is an old gilt mir
ror, and beside it a. pair of brass
sconces. The thin muslin and silk
window hangings are held back by old
brass or gilt branches.
“The walls of the room are gray
and the window hangings a dull pas
tel red. The brass is the one bright
i note.”
Our hero thought that tl}e woman
knew him; but she didn’t. She had
I just mentioned the' name of Clarence
because she thought that it suited "a
i young man of our hero’s type.
Clarence did not care for the wo
i man’s company, but she persisted
[ Our herb resented this and a battle
i followed. It was In this fray that
j Clarence lost some of his hair and
1 gained some bruiser.
In the course of the encounter
j Clarence flashed his shield, hoping
- that he could sears the girl Into let
ting go her grip on him. He failed,
but a cop w ho came along separated
I the buttling pair and took them to
j court.
The.woman was sent to the work
house by Magistrate Rarlow. Cla
j rence was fined ten dollars.
His detective shield was taken away
from him on the ground that it war
no good in .New York. It will bej

the job of guarding the brickyards j

The Visiting List of Caxtoi
BY L. BANCROFT GIBSOtt.
My frfend Brown mads a study of
human nature by methods distinctly
his own.
* His life’was a calendar of methodi
cal divisions of time devoted to his
fellowman and his needs;
The man and his means were one
where there was a need for either.
tfe made a profession of making
calls and his calling list was longer
than many benefeclary charities of a
generous philantropist.
When 1_ was invited to accompany
him on one of these visits at prompt
ly four o'clock, f was not behind the
clock for I knew to be late for his
appointment was to be lamented as
. well and so we started on schedule
promptness to call upon “I-ady Mary.”
| “Why do you call her "Lady Mary,”
; Castor?
f might have known the answer be
I fore he said; “She is a lady and her
| name ia Mary.”
' t ’Ion—as clean -brushed type,” T mitr.
j mim'd meekly.
“And what is HEit need'.”’
"The need of kome one to support
her opinions; she has no one who hon
estly agrees with her.”
"Poor Thing, I echoed.” ready with
j «» open sympathy valve, “What don't
they agree with her about?”
1 "When she is in her cups."
"Oh! how awfully drear and Keely
like—why don’t they send her away?”
He lengthened hla already elongat
ed stride until I felt like a man mak
j ing first base to keep up witn lulu and
! said gruffly:
“Because she is kind to “gather in”.
I wish there were more like her.” and
then, as 1 began to question this In
■ fluence of so strangely afflicted an ae
'juantance, my friend Brown said;
I “Here we are.”
The maid who admitted us evidently
knew Oaxton Brown was the thermom*
eter of that household for she quickly
wove his smile Into wreaths in her own
face and conducted us to the earnestly
expectant face of a dear, little, frail
| body of Immaculate rieatness and trim
Oaxton presented me much as a break
! man announces the next statton, as a
, monotonous duty savagely preformed,
and she won me with a thankful smile.
And did you both really come to see
me?" she asked, pleased as children
with a gratified indulgence.
“She came to see your treasures—
f came, as I always do, to see you,"
was the irlteligent reply of my friend
\ Brow n.
Without a word of urging she carried
us to her treasure closet and.there was
a pocular variety of every pretty and
1 oddly assorted cups; some tea, some
i coffee size and a few very tiny, shel
like after- coffeps
Like a child going through a famil
iar lesson she told them off.
"This is where ] draw my life—in
my cups—she said and Oaxton Brown
winked wickedly at me over her head
while she read us a sweet lesson from
the collection.
"This is the cup of kindness which
I never expect to drain; I have sipped
of it all my life and Its dregs are but
j fresh bubbles of a new kindness In the
| next cup.
You will always want to refill this
j cup—my cup of sympathy—the eon
i tents suits tK% cup; it is Sevres and
| very rare; drink from it with anyone
you will and you will always under
stand, you are a knight, ready for
battles that are already won.
“And this Is my tiny cup of pride;
pride is such .a powerful stimulant. 1
Just a sip will help you to hold up
your head.
Of course you will always drink of
that with a couple lumps of self-re- j
; spect dropped in.
"Now this Is an heirloom found, in
every family—l mean tills old English
tw-r.ws-dn white porcelain—the cup of
sorrow.
"They say it is bitter, but, do you
know (and here Lady Mary was ail
mystery and hush), when 7 got to What
[ I thought was dregs, there was sugar
at the bottom;—ydu look for it ill
I yours."
"This large cup Is the cup of re
! verenb#—always drink a toast to ths
1 Almighty when drinking out of this—*
i you know the toast;—“Praise God from
whome all blessings flow."
"And this? The cup of separation
1 which has been overflowing twice and
while I ne%-er drank anything so bit
ter, and the dregs never leave your
taste entirely, do you know the part
: Ings become meetings bye and bye and
you will drink from this beautiful cup
some day."
She referred to an exquisite cup of
heavenly blue which she called the cup
of maturity and smiling at us she said;
■ "Here's to you both—may every
} dsavor mature and life. In its
I tlon, flower."
“The cups envy, malice and strifs
I have left unduated and unnoticed at
the bark of the shelf, you see, and WV
will not consider any of those unsa
vory drinks."
"Surely you are blessed in your cups.
Lady Mary," 1 said with many thank
ful adfeux and as her face radiated her
happiness. Caxton and I left, both bet
tered by the simple lesson of a shroud
ed mind.
I asked my friend Brown a question
as we turned down the street where
a widow lived who has biae eyes and
he replied:
“Oh. yes, Indy Mary is "otherwise"
but your copy Is found in her WON
DER UUL SUBSTITUTE for sense."
The next on the list of my friend
Brown is the bias-eyed widow whom
I shall visit with him.
I
Worries.
I have a freind who never seems to .
get any enjoyment out of life, simply
because she ir always worrying about
wttt might happen ao herself or her
rlem
friends.
If she doesn't hear from her rela
tions Just the very day she expected
to they must be seriously ill. Or per
haps the dressmaker promises to send
home a new frock and it hasn't come—*
it must be lost, says Home ('hat.
But it seems such a pity that the
happiness of to-day should be spoiled
by something that happened yesterday,
or by fear of what may happen to
morrow. Make up your mind to for
get all the little snnoyances of yes
terday and start afresh.
Worrying doesn't do the least little
bit of good, and will never ward off
an illness or prevent some calamity
you dread from happening to you. So
Just be as happy as you can and leave
to-morrow to take care of Itself.
Long Engagements.
Tbeie are most certainly, if possible,
to be avoided, especially if the young
people live in the same place. In- v
deed. It Is well to consider it a rule
that no man should propose to a girl
unlesa he has a deflnlte prospect ot
offering her a home in about a year.
Long, aimless, indefinite engagements
generally end in one or both^thin’ein*
thev have made a mistake, going drag
ging on from an Idea of honor, and
marrying, when they do, with no capi
tal of love with which to pay the claims i
nt married life, says Woman's Life,
If not this, there is a broken engage
ment, the best years and chances of
girl's life wasted, or a man embittered
against ail women. So, with rare ex
ceptions. though there may be an un
derstanding. there should not be a
binding engagement entered into with
out a reasonably early prospect of
marriage.
