RUSSELL SLIGHTLY HURT Identity of the Shooter is Unknown But Shot is Thought to Have Been Meant For the Republican Candidate. CINCINNATI, O., July 29.-The steamer Island Queen was fired upon during her trip up the Ohio River last "night w ith William H. Taft and the notification committee and guests aboard, and Mrs. Russell, of this city, standing on the hurricane deck, directly under the seat occupied by the presidential candidate, was struck in the face and breast by a number of small shot.

The officers of the boat stated that they would make an investigation in order to learn the identity of the mis creant who fired the gun.

TELEPHONE MAIN 661. the:weather Oregon and Washington Fair and warmer except near the coast A TENTATIVE INTEREST. Much as Astoria has wanted the definite interest of the Northern Pa cific Railway Company, of which she is, practically, a sea terminal, and one of the largest towns on the system outside of Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma and Portland, she has never had but a tentative share of the concern the road lavishes on her inland commun ities. We are moved to this by the text of an advertisement running in the "Missoulian" of Missoula, Mon tana, in behalf of the road's summer tourist traffic, all of which apparently ends at one of the Sound cities or at Portland; there is no word of As toria, the coast resorts near by, nor any point west of Portland and the Washington cities. It has a Charle tonian ring about it that don't set well down here. The absorption of the Astoria Columbia River line by the N. P. put this city and her contiguous resorts, at this season at least, well within the purview of the company's summer advertising, but it has been remark ably chary about doing anything con- j spicuously attractive in the way of advertising the best summer resorts in all Oregon, and our people are noticing it on all sides and comment ing upon it The N. P. officials have allowed themselves to pose as good friends of this section, city and county, but in reality they have done nothing for, and a whole lot, against Astoria since they came into power here. There has been plenty of talk, but no sub stantial and favorable action what ever; and the conclusion is justifiable, and active, hereabout, that we are getting the worst of it. This may be politic on the part of a new concern like this great road but we fail to discern the sense or efficacy of it as an initial program in the scheme of making friends and business. It is felt here, and the company will hear of it in the future if it shall desire certain things that will be hard to get from a commun ity with a long memory. ALL IN KNOWING HOW. The arrival of the wrecked steamer Minnie E. Kelton, at the O. R. N. docks in this port, yesterday morning at 11 o'clock, on the hawsers of the bar tug Tatoosh, Captain William Bailey, commanding, furnishes a les son in practical salvage that may be of benefit to many more or less in terested in the business. Just 24 hours before that docking, she was an abandoned derelict on the shore seas of Oregon, the open, free guerdon of any man with skill and interest enough to go after her and save her. She has been wrecked practically three distinct times; once, and originally, on the Oregon coast near Yaquina harbor, and twice in this bay; the last time breaking away from a carefully devised system of preparation for hauling her inland for dry-docking. She broke from this, and was allowed to go her way, and worked in the tides on the inside of the Columbia bar from Sunday night last to the afternoon of Tuesday when Captain Bailey, with the Tatoosh, secured her with lines and set about towing her to port and safety, there by, not only making a sheer gain of whatsoever the courts shall allow, but ridding an important channel of com merce of one of the worst menaces that could beset it. It is, apparently, all in knowing how to do these things. This is not said in an invidious way, nor in un friendly spirit, but, taking into con sideration the immense amount of work that has been done upon the ship from the hour the steamer Washington fastened on to her and towed her into this port to the con THE J. S. DELLINCER CO. ....$7.00 .60 summation of Captain Bailey's task yesterday, it would seem that some system of manipulation and preven tative might have been employed against the constant mischance that has served her for the past 60 days. PORTLAND'S ESCAPE. All Astoria is glad that Portland escaped the rigors and losses of a desperate conflagration on Tuesday; that her buildings and her fire-depart ment combined to spare her the hor rors of such a visitation as other great centers in the country have known. There was every promise of such an outcome, from what eye witnesses have said on returning to Astoria; the high-winds and the shack-food that abounded in the threatened district; and the entire incident goes to the very root of the fire-problem, to-wit, the perpetual menace of the worn-out, dried-out, in flammable, hideous and repugnant shack, and the retarding principle of brick and stone and high blank walls to bar and break the fury and range of the flames. Such incidents as this in Portland, make our own position" painfully ap parent to the thoughts that arise on the heels of such a report. Astoria has been wonderfully immune from devastating fires; but it is well never to permit such immunity to operate to the point of convincing us that nothing can happen of that sort. We are prepared in so far as we are able to prepare against such things, but we would find it a mere bagatelle in the face of such extraordinary condi tions as do arise when least expected; and the lesson at hand, is eternal vigilance in the home, office and shop, since it is to that quality, as well as to an admirable fire system, we owe the wonderful freedom we have en joyed for years. INDEPENDENTS. The Hearst party has been launch ed; the "Independent" party of America, is abroad in the land, and its particular destiny is to defeat Hon. William J. Bryan for the presi dency of the United States. To that end, it has our deep and devoted good will; it can ever do anything half so good and grateful, and if it succeeds it will not have lived in vain. Hisgen and Graves, who lead the party ticket, figure but lightly in the huge and wholesome perspective; they are good men, without doubt, and will do as well as any for the purposes of organization and objec tive. We care not who contributes to the defeat of Bryan, so they do not forsake the proud quest they have chosen and later enlist under the lure of the "silver tongue." The war department's idea that it must keep up with the times in aero nautics is sound. To be prepared at all points is the best assurance of considerate treatment and peaceable relations. There is method in Mr. Bryan's po litical' optimism, for he makes valua ble use of his time between cam paigns, but the enthusiasts who pre dicted his election in 1896 and 1900, and are still at it, are the most de voted of mankind, with the smallest return. Last year, according to the report of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion, the employes on railroads num bered 1,672,074.

Thackeray and tht Cabman. Thackeray loved to relate Jokes on himself, and one he especially enjoyed was about a Reading hacknian. The author was unacquainted with the town. and the moment he emerged from the railway station' he told a hackney coachman to drive him to the nearest hotel. The driver closed the door ceremoniously, mounted his box. and they started. In half a minute the cab was at a standstill, and Thackeray saw the cabmau at the door.' bowing to him to come out. He did so without a word and found that he was at the portico of the station hotel, which be had failed to see was not a dozen yards off. But he banded the man a shilling and was entering the hotel, rather pleased with his own sang frold. when he was amazed to see the cabman tak ing off bis coat and offering to "fight him for the other sixpence." It ap ears that on that day a resolution of the Reading town council had come Into operation empowering hackney coachmen to charge IS ponce for any distance within the township. This was Its first fruits! It Is unnecessary to add that the cabman got his money and Thackeray a good story to tell at the clubs. Her Mean Amusement "I love to make visits In the morn ing."

An Old Legend Tells How It Found Its Way to Ireland. THE MAGIC OF KISSING IT. Origin of the Quaint BelUf That It Im part to tho Lips That Touch It tho Power to Uttor Hansytd, Coaxing and Dolutlvo 8pch. The blarney etoue takes its name from the village of Blarney, In County Cork, Ireland, near which stand tho ruins of tho famous Blarney entitle, dating back to tho fifteenth century, and tho grove of Blarney, which en Joy ac equally wide reputation. A riv ulet flowing through them bear tho same name. The nam Blarney it from the Irish "blalrne," a little field, the Gaelic form being "bltilr" or 'War." a plain. The village It four miles north west of Cork and baa a few hundred Inhabitants. In the grovea of Blarney stands the ruined castle, In one tower of which ,1s the world famous atone, the kissing of which Is reputed to endow on with the gift of coaxing, wheedling and flattering. Tho true atone la declared to be one In the castle wall, a few feet below the summit of the tower. To reach and oseulate it It ts necessary for one to be held over tho parapet by the heels. But so many persons traveling In the Emerald Isle desire to report that they have kissed the real blarney stone that one la the top of the wall Is held to be sufficiently near the real thing for the fiction to be maintained that It Is the true stone with all the powers of the original. And even to aged nr,d Infirm persona one near tho ensile entrance Is declared to be the original. On the true stone, near the top of the tower, a half effaced In scription reads, "Corniack McCarthy Fortls Me Fieri Faclt A. D. 1446." Of the blarney stone Father Prout, the Irish poet, declared that It was the palladium of liberty for Erin. lie de scribes the stone and relates number of legends regarding It one that It was brought to the Island by the Phoenicians, who are reputed to bare colonized the region, and that It had long been in the custody of the Cartha ginians, who from it gained the reputation- for Insincerity which Is trans mitted In the phrase "Funic faith," and that before that it belonged to the Syrians, who were credited with speaking with double tongues after kissing it According to the story, some Carthaginian adventurers be came enamored of the stone and ap propriated It They sot sail for Minor ca, but being overtaken by a storm, were driven Into the harbor of Cork and left the stone In that vicinity un til It was made use of In the construc tion of the donjon tower of Blarney castle. As to the origin of the belief In re gard to the qualities secured by kiss ing the Btoue, Crofton Croker says that In 1002, when the Spaniards were urging the Irish chieftains to harass the English, the owner of tho castle, Cormack McDermod McCarthy, who then occupied It concluded an armis tice with the lord president on condi tion of surrendering It to an English garrison. But he pnt him off from day to day with specious statements, fair promises and false pretexts until the lord president became the laugh ingstock of the ministers of Queen Elizabeth, and the honeyed and delu sive speeches of tho lord of the castle became known as mere "blarney." The word found Its way Into litera ture In the last century. In the "Jour nal" of Caroline Fox, which appeared In 1835, there Is this use of the word: "Mme. de Stael was regretting to Lord Castlereagh that there was no word in the English language which answered to their 'sentiment' 'No.' be said, 'there Is no English word, but the Irish have ono that corresponds exact lyblarney.' Samuel Lover wrote "The blarney's so great a deceiver" In one of his Irish novels. President James Buchanan" wrote, "The general has yet to learn that tny father's coun trymen (I have ever felt proud of my descent from an Irishman), though they themselves do blarney others, nre yet hard to be blarneyed themselves." Washington Irving In. "The Traveler" wrote, "So he blarneyed the landlord." James Russell Lowell In "The Fable For Critics" says: The cast clothes of Europe your states manship tries And mumble again the old blarneys and lies. The name of the old time castle and town has added a noun, a verb, an adjective and a participle to the lan guage. The most comprehensive defi nition of the noun "blarney" Is "ex ceedingly complimentary language; flattery; smooth, wheedling talk; pleas ing cajolery." As to the origin of the word, one lexicographer quotes Grote as crediting the derivation of It from the phrase "licking the blarney stone," "applied to Incredible stories told of climbing to a stone very diffi cult of access In a castle of that name to the county of Cork, Ireland." But he added that Dr. Jamlcson derives It from the French "balwerne," ''a He; frbalous talk," and defines It "gross lattery; unmeaning or vexatious dis course (Low)."

THE PERFECT WAY Scores of Astoria Citizens Have Learned It .If you suffer from backache, There is only one way to cure It. The perfect way it to cure the kid leys. A bad back means tick kidneys. Neglect it, urinary troubles follow. Doan's Kidney rills are made for kidneys only. George K. Parrish, 372. E. Oak street, Portland, Ore., says: "Not a symptom of kidney trouble has ever returned since 1 used Doan'a Kidney Pills some years ago and I am pleas ed to confirm the statement I gave in their favor at that time Prior to using them I had suffered great deal from dull heavy pains in my back and through the region of the kidneys, this trouble having resulted from a severe cold. I was gradually growing worse when Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention and being impressed with the good reports concerning them, I procured a supply. As stated above they com pletely disposed of my trouble after a short use." Plenty more proof like this' from Astoria people. Call at Chas. Rogers Son's drug store and ask what cus tomers report.

"I'm Ned and I'm a birthday present to grandma and I'm hungry," he snld, with no recognition jot the need of pause or punctuation, rawing very nine eyes, to moot ners earnestly. "I guess he'll have to come In," said the girl lit bewilderment. "I don't know anything about him, but may I Aunt Ann does." Mrs. Jordan, waiting lit the kitchen door, gave a gnsp of terror when she aw the small fine under the lent her allor cap. "Hobble." she whimpered faintly. "No; I'm not named Bobble.

It was lilld, her child, sot'inod miraculously restored to her. Hrlnglng her glasses from a corner of the dining room mantel, she opened the letter.

And, mother, If' you will only love him and forget those lust few yours" 1 The woman tunned ber head on the table, and deep sobs convulsed her. Marietta, coming dowustulrs with an Immaculate little boy by the bund, saw through the front window some one who caused her to run hastily to the door, "Cunie to the steps a minute, John." she called softly. "I was afraid I wouldn't get the chance to see you to day. I've determined to any 'Yos,' even If Aunt Ann doesn't give her consent She seems to liave a horror of people gutting married. It s getting unbear able. I wanted her to suy I might marry you, but I'll do It, anyway." John Terry's strong hand closed on hers convulsively. "Will you wear a veil and carry a big bouquet?" eagerly asked the child, overlooked by them both. The man Inuiihed good naturedly, "ueuo, youngster, where aid you come from?

Terry gazed at the girl meaningly. "So? The old lady has relented at last, has she?" "I don't think It's that" the girl an swerod sortly, "I think Cousin Robert Is-diwid.

"And I'm going to start In the Ar ties right. You might as well let John come on In. I'll bet, he'll spend most of the year with you anyhow." Terry, laughing, took the girl's arm and led her to the dining room. "She's going to be married, and I'm going to carry her train for ber, grand ma." aald the child excitedly.

She is flush with waters of the bay; her upepr deck is partly afloat, and she is badly hammered "around the edges; her fixtures, iron and wooden, are all swept from the main deck and slie is drawing all the water she can and stay in sight; she is on an even keel, a circumstance that has not been recorded of her since she en tered port on the hawsers of the steamer Washington, which took her from the high seas. The three-masted schooner W. F. Jewett, from San Diego, for this port entered this harbor under her own canvas yesterday morning and sailed to her anchorage in fine style. She reports that when in latitude 42:48 north and longitude 138:54 west she spoke the schooner Manila and found all hands well and hearty; this on the 25th instant.

She has not been doing much of late, or since her trawling experiences, but will probably be kept busy the rest of the salmon season. The Spencer continues to do busi ness at the old stand. When she went up yesterday, she took, as among her passengers, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Ryan, who for the past year or more have made Astoria their home, and are now returning fo their old home in Salem. The steamer Alliance arrived in from Coos Bay points at 6 o'clock last evening and docked at the Cal ender with a big load of freight and long list of passengers. She went on up the river without much delay here. The Lurline is doing the same old and steady stunt of- the years, and went back to Portland with plenty of business last evening, at 7 o'clock. The steamer Eureka arrived in last evening from Eureka and Coos Bay and went directly on to Portland.

Sixty years ago this great breathing space for Manhattan Island was reserved and its rocky surface scraped of shan ties, stables and cobbles to lay an el aborate series of landscape gardening effects. Trees, grass and shrubs have sprung up, grown and died over the large expanse of "thin surface soil, un til to-day no nourishment for green things remains above the hard under laver of rock. At least six inches of rich soil must now be laid over ev ery square foot of the square miles of the big playground and low estimates figure the cost of this alone at some thing near $3,000,000. The only alter native is admitted to be the death of everv living tntng mat graces tue broad lawns and avenues; so the tax payer is bracing himself against a sweeping bill for gardening next fall. Fitfully flitting in swarms of mil lions, the great horde of moths that descended upon Manhattan early this Genuine grief is spread over all the town to-day as the brave Bishop Pot ter is laid to rest after the long fight to prolong his most useful of lives It will be many a long year before the people of New York City will find another such a man, to whom they can turn in common to solve the big hu man problems. The great sound sense of Grovcr Cleveland and of Bishop Potter alike have formed two grest bulwarks in the public appeal and clamor of the times. Now that the counsel of both giant publ'cists is forever lost, a sad void is felt in a community where really great men are needed. Now that a new office mammoth is projected to cap the sky line, a thou sand feet from curb to cornice, the veteran fire-fighters of this sprouting town arc to-day at a loss to figure on a water pressure equal to the enor mous height of the skyward struc ture.

Just what steps will be taken to keep upshooting Manhattan with in reach of its fire department can not be determined at present.

Jaloffs, The Style Store f Miss Mabel McCausland, Whose Con fession Led To Several Arrests, Re peats Her Story Of The Alleged Conspiracy to Create Evidence. NEW YORK, July 29-I-rank J. Gould, the millionaire, was put through a sharp examination last night when he was placed on the wit ness stand by the defense in the al leged conspiracy plot to manufacture divorce evidence against him. He was questioned at length as to his ac quaintance with Miss Bessie Devoe, whose name has figured in the case but the most damaging admission the lawyers could draw from him was the fact that he had met Miss Devoe and knew who she was. Decision will be handed down Friday morning. A special session was held to take the testimony of Mr. Gould. Miss Mabel MacCausland, the milliner's ap prentice, whose story led to the ar rest of Mrs. Teal Miss Fleming and Detective Mossley, took the stand and repeated the story of the alleged con spiracy. Miss MacCausland main tained that it was Mrs. Teal who brought up the subject and sugges ted that she make an affadavit that she had seen Gould with Miss Devoe in the apartment that Miss Devoe rented. On cross examination she admit ted that she was known in the apart ment house and that she was known by the name of Conklin, and that she had applied to Mrs. Teal for a posi tion under the name of Miss Winton, and that she had applied for another position on the stage under the name of Mabel Dimond, which she said was her middle name.

In a letter to Edward Hatch Jr., of New York, thanking him for information which the commis sion had requested as to the discharge into rivers of waste products from pulp mills Dr. Jordan says: "It seems to me that the pollution of international waters is a matter which our commission must take very seri ously.

By the terms of the franchise it runs for a period of 30 years and is to the Northwest ern Long Distance Telephone Com pany. Apparently the instrument has been drawn with the greatest care and every interest of the city and of the citizens generally seem to be well safe-guarded. While it is possible that it will be passed upon its third and last reading in practically the way that it now stands, amendments may yet be made and there will be no disposition to rush the matter through. It looks as if Mayor Wise and the city councumen want to know just what is being done and will look pretty thoroughly before they make the leap. In a way the introduction of the ordinance last night probably marks an epoch in the city's affairs. It means first of all that the city is tired of second-rate things. It wants only the best for the future. Moreover, the way the mayor and councilmen are going at. this matter seems to preclude all possibility of any chi canery on the part of the grantees of the franchise.

One was supplied by Miss Warren,' county superintendent, in the person of Miss Ida Anderson, Of this city, who will graduate from the high school next year. Miss Anderson contracted to teach for the remainder of the terril, about four months. There is natural ly some apprehension felt about the continued absence and silence of Miss Newlands, the teacher who failed to show up. As far as can be learned, she left Seattle for this city last week, and since then nothing has been heard of her. She is of suffic ient age to be able to care for her self, it would seem, and yet there is the possibility that, some untoward in cident has happened to her. If it were known that she Had reached this city of course a vigorous search would at once be made for her, but there is the further chance that for some reason she simply decided not to come and is safely among her they all .with one voice declared that they no longer have faith in the promises of his company. It wai 'pointed out that until the city haa competition the service will never b good. Dr. Barr and one or two oth ers suggested that it would be hard on the old company, which, as Mr. Bruwdd said, has spent perhaps $50 000 here already and promise to spend nearly as much more, yet the consensus of opinion seemed to be that the company certainty had earn ed no right to call upon the city for a monopoly of the telephone busi ness; and that it should simply take, its chances in competition just as any other business would. The question of municipal owner ship also was raised. It did not meet with general favor. It wan pointed out by Councilmen Leinen weber and" Logan that the city's greatest matter now is the seawalL and as that would require an expen diture of several hundred thousand dollars, it would be unwise to think of also bonding the city for a tele phone system, which is of secondary importance to the seawall.

Such are the salient "provisions. There are of course many other minor details of importance, but which are not particular to this ordinance. The attitude of the five members present last night, Councilmen Han sen, Kaboth, Leinenweber, Logan and Robinson, indicated that each is tak ing a personal and direct interest in the matter and all are apparently strongly in favor of the new fran chise. The council chamber was well filled with citizens last night, ajid among them was the "telephone com mittee" from the Chamber of Com merce, H. G. Van Dusen, Dr. Barr and Mr. Skyles. Each of these gen tlemen spoke briefly on the measure, as did Messrs.

Nearly every man that spoke in the council room last night paid high personal compliment to Manager Brunold, and all said that it was the system, and not he, that is in fault. Mr. Brunold said that his company will go ahead rapidly with its work of bettering the old system and will within perhaps 15 days start building its new structure.

Encouraging reports, however, are being heard. The fact that the steam railway pro ject admittedly Is hardly capable of realization within several years, iffct all, naturally would have a tendency to cause the Tillamook men to turn their attention to the electric line from this city, and that they are doing so is indicated by one or more letters that have been received here within the past few days. Yesterday a letter was received here from Sidney Johnson, Mayor of Tillamook, in relation to the matter. His views had been asked, and natur ally he lays stress upon the fact that just at present the Tillamook men consider themselves tied up with the steam railway matter, but he also says that as soon as the railway mat ter is out of the way "our citizens would take extraordinary, interest" in the Astoria, Seaside Tillamook electrical line. Mayor Johnson's let ter is of much interest, and as it was probably not meant to be of a priv ate nature, is herewith reproduced in part; "We (Astoria and Tillamook) have made a grievous error in failing to take up the matter of an electric road long before this date. The scheme has been fesaible for many years and could have been consummated with local capital. "One of the conditions of the sub scriptions to the P. R. N. Co. i that' the company construct ten miles of road out of Tillamook by February 1st next. If this is not done, the sub scribers are released, and upon that contingency you would find that our citizens would take extraordinary in terest in the building of your pro posed road. But until this company has forfeited its subscription contract, you naturally will find our people careful about additional subscriptions. "Yours very truly, "SIDNEY S. JOHNSON, "Mayor." The Astoria men back of the elec tric line agree with the views ex pressed by Mayor Johnson, that As toria and Tillamook have made t grievous error "in failing to take up the matter of an electric road long before this date." While it is re gretted here that Tillamook is tem porarily tied up with another matter that is unfortunately perhaps merely visionary,, yet' a delay until after the first of the new year would probably not present any serious difficulties, though it probably would please the men at this end of the line if the preliminary work at the Tillamook end could also be carried on at the same time. The preliminary work at this end is being carried forward as rapidly as possible, and if all goes well the actual work of construction between here and Seaside ought t be well under way by fall.

,6 THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA. OREGON. THURSDAY, JULY 30 THE BUTTERFLY GIRL. Hy Ttmplt HaiUy, Copyrighted. 1908, by Awoclated Literary Tress. The Bret rift in tho lute came when Albert arrived home one stormy night and found bis bride in a fetching pink gown, with her shining hair puffed into a halo of gold, with pink candle shades a the corners of the dlulng table, with pink roses In the center and with noth ing thereon to eat but a third day's cold roast and leftover salad. Albert, having kissed bis wife enthu siastically and having changed his of fice coat for a more formal one, peered at the platter dubiously. "I am desperately hungry," he said, land there Isn't much meat left." "I am not a bit hungry." Bettina stated. "1 was shopping downtown and I bad such a lunch." "I had a sandwich, was Albert's brief comment and after that he ate "1 mavknT TIMS TO KISS OAILT CRIED. Ton," KSM sparingly of the lamb and the tasteless alad and sought final solace In bis after dinner cigar. That evening Bettina found him somewhat unresponsive. In vain she played and sang his favorite songs in her little lilting voice. In rain she prattled of her downtown bargains. In vain she petted him and praised him. -Albert met all of her advances stolidly, and the next moraine found her at her Aunt Betsey's In tears. "He has ceased to love me," she de clared. "What did you give him for dinner last night?' Aunt Betsey demanded. Bettina faltered out her menu. Aunt Betsey sniffed. "No wonder he was disagreeable,' she said. "Any man's affection would foe frozen out by cold meat and cold alad and warmed over coffee." "Albert's love ought to be superior to such things,' Bettina said. "He used always to quote things like 'A jug of vine, a loaf of bread and thon beside me, singing In the wilderness.' and last night all of my singing couldn't make him smile." But Aunt Betsey was severely on the defensive. "A Jag of wine and a loaf of bread may be all right in hot climates," she admitted, "but yesterday it was snow ing, and Albert came in chilled, and you ought to have had something fit to eat" "Well, thank goodness my love isn't dependent on food," said Bettina lofti ly. "What did you have for lunch yester day?" Aunt Betsey probed. "You told me you went to Milliard's." "We had grape fruit and crab and ejuall, and a salad and an ice. Every thing was delicious. Mary Luttrell ln Tited me, with a friend of hers from out of town." "And poor Albert had a sandwich," Aunt Betsey reminded Ber. "Oh! Oh!" Suddenly the real situa tion seemed to dawn on the little wife. "He was really hungry, Aunt Betsey, poor dear fellow." "And he had worked from 8:30 In the i morning," Aunt Betsey went on, "and when he came home at night, tired and worn and nervous, he wa3 not In a condition to appreciate lace trimmed ruffles, Bettina, half as much as an appetizing dinner." Bettina sighed. v "Well, It does away with the ro mance." "Dear heart." Aunt Betsey told her, "there is a joy in service that is above the joy of more admiration. Try mak ing Albert comfortable and you will get more solid happiness out of It than by keeping him on the rack with your coquetry." But Bettina shrugged her shoulders. "The way to hold a man," she de ilared. "Is to play with him." "The way to hold a man," said Aunt Betsey, with a nod of her gray head, "is to love him, and that means to make yourself his equal in endeavor. Then you have his respect. You" must be the homemaker, just as Albert is the money maker." "But you have never married," said little Bettina. ,"How can you know, Aunt Betsey?" "The people who look on from the outside are the wise ones." said Annt "ntwi I hnt'a aium aft mnnt matrlmoulal shipwrecks.'' That night Albert's footsteps lagged n little on the stairway as be climbed to his little fiat He knew Just what he would find at the top-Bettina, charming in the rosy gown; the pink candle shades, the pluk roses and cro quettes made of the last of the beef. Bettina always ran to big roasts, and there yet remained to be eaten a fifth day's soup made of the bone. The sound of his key In the latch summoued no rosy vision, however. He passed through the dining room. The pink candles were not lighted. In front of his place wag a copper chafing dish, one of Bettiua's hitherto unused wedding presents, and the bine flame burning beneath set the contents bub bling, and the air was laden with de llclousuess. "Bettina,' be called, and at the sound she came to the kitchen door. She wore a long apron of china blue; her hair was ruffled about her face; ber cheeks were flaming. "I haven't time to kiss you." she cried gayly. "I must watch the chops.' Albert went Into his room somewhat disconcerted. It was the first time that Bettina had railed to kiss hlra. It was the first time that his rooms had not been In a rosy glow-and he miss ed It But his discomfort vanished with the serving of the dinner. There were oysters in the chafing dish, panned to perfection. There were broiled chops, a crisp salad and a pud ding made by Bettlna's own fair bands. And Albert ate and praised and won dered. "I didn't know you could do It Bet tina," he said. "You always seemed such a butterfly girl Bettina laughed. "Aunt Betsey showed me how," she said, "and -and I really like doing If But her eyes were a little wistful and presently she said, "Don't you miss anything?" "Yes." Albert said promptly. "I da 1 miss the rosy gown and the rosy can dies and you haven't kissed me yet Bettina." He went around and stood at the back of her chair. "I was a bear last night little girl,' ne apologized, "Dut a man s a queer creature, and I was tired' He folded his hands about the oval of ber face. "Kiss me." be said softly. And when that rite was performed he asked, "Can we have the candles and the flowers tomorrow?" But Bettina shook her bead. "They cost too much." she said, "and yon need the hearty food more. But on Sundays we will make a feast of ro mance to offset the six days of com mon sense." Albertslghed. "If I were only rich," be said. "Yon are rich," his wife told him. with her eyes sparkling. "How?" be questioned. "Because you have me," said pretty Bettina saucily.
