] ip BILLY BUL j ?i DECEIVED HIS VE | ! By John S. Rafferty, .' ?a ?.. ' Mrs. W. Guernsey Batwell left for Bar Harbor with many misgivings. Florence, 7 years old, went with ber. She had two trunkf uls of stunning apparel, enough money to splurge for at least two months, and she was so tired of tho continuous per formance of housekeeping in her Hyde Park flat that she seemor! omi-, nently equipped for an ideal exist ence at the fashionable seaside re sort. Put she wasn't. She had misgivings, a mountain of them, and when Bill}', her husband, finally persuaded her to start and rushed her and their daughter off to the train she thought sue saw a gleam of demoniacal joy in his eye, and she was wretched without even the satisfaction of knowing csactly why. Billy had been too anxious to get rid of her, and he showed it For two years she had begged him to give her a season at the seashore, and he had never felt financially able till this summer. In May he achieved a famous coup on the board of thade and from that day showed an almost offensive enthu siasm about sending her on a fash ionable vacation. As his eagerness waxed, hers waned. He was a youngish man of 40, with quite a streak of boyish devilment yet in him. She knew he was handsome and that other women knew it as well, and she tacitly resented his evident delight over the plan to get rid of her and their daughter for two months. She wa?n't jealous. Not a bit! Billy had never given her cause for that, but he had been so insistent about getting her started and so atrociously glad when she agreed that she would have refused to go at all if she could have found a single reasonable ex cuse. She put. an anchor to wind ward before going by asking Mrs. Howard, her net door neighbor, to "have an eye to tho flat/' The ad monition was quite unnecessary, for Mrs. Howard was all eyes and ears when it came to keeping posted about her neighbors' affairs. But Mrs. Batwell's request to "have an eye" seemed to carry an unspoken wish for occasional reports about the deserted Batwell home, and the impressionable Mrs. Howard made a mental resolution to keep tab on Billy and bulletin his wife every time he did anything out of the routine. Women are so tactful-and sympathetic that way ! .So lairs. Billy went away with gloomy forebodings, and Billy, thc brute, hied himself to a "blind pig* and, in the exuberance of his joy bought two rounds for every mai present. Mrs.. Batwell, who was quite ? handsome young matron, contri vee to make something of a "hit" at Bai Harbor, and after a week of min gled uneasiness and pleasure sh? was beginning to forget the caus< of his misgivings and learning t< make the most of her new surround ings. Billy wrote every day. No since the days of their courtshij had his letters been so romantic, s< ardent, so soulful. They wert actually love letters, and the read ing of them awoke again in he: heart the girlish emotions that ha< slumbered beneath these, later pro saic years. She had begun to re spond in kind when she got her firs letter from Mrs.' Howard. It end ed with this postscript: "By the way, dearie, don't forge to tell me who is this Hemingwa; woman who is at your house noT nearly every day and often in th evening. Her daughter is beauti f i:, I think, but the mother strike mc as a bit bizarre. I think th name is Hemingway or somethm, like that. Who are they ?" Mrs. Batwell nearly fainted whe: she read that postscript. Grief, dc s pair, rage, humiliation, shook he - by turns. First she resolved to rc turn to Chicago at once. The ehe vowed she would never loo upon her husband's face again. Sh held her little daughter in her arra for hoc VJ 'sobbing, and when th child fell asleep she walked the floe planning and discarding a doze schemes for vengeance. No wonder he was anxious to ge rid of her and their darling child Entertaining a "loud" widow an her beautiful daughter", day an night in her home-Ilemingwaj Sire had never heard of, much les met, such a person. She bogan 'dozen letters to Billy and toro thei all up. She would wait and see ho long? his hateful duplicity woul continue. She was almost hy?terii al the next day when his lette more loving, more romantic an more rhetorical than ever, was rc ai "I suppose his vile letters'aro ii spired by this Hemingway harpy she sneered to herself. Then she wrote a guarded letti to Hrs. Howard, sacing that she he only a "slight acquaintance*' wii the Hemingways, thanking her f< her letter and Adroitly urging ti< to keep a close watch on her .hu band's guests, "aa some of them tai advantage of his good nature ar are apt to get too gay." Mrs. Howard's next two lette: followed each other with ominoi speed. The.firat intimated that t) Hemingways had almost taken po session of the flat, that they wo: there all dav during Mr. Batwell absence and that at night when 1 'came home tb?y remained in tue parlor laughing and chatting, play ing the piano and guitar till nearly bedtime. Tho second letter brought tlie fateful news that tho Heming ways wore folly installed; that Billy seemed to have gone "to board elsewhere," but that he was a con stant visitor "next door." "Of course I suppose you know all of these things, concluded the letter, "but as you never mentioned tha* you intended to give up your flat I thought Fd write to you about it. I hope everything is all right. I have picked up a nodding ac 3uaintance with Mrs. H. and her aughtcr, but they don't seem anx ious to know me. It's mutual. I think they're vulgar." Mrs. Batwell did leave on the next train after that letter. She showed up at her flat in Chicago with fire in her eyo and murder in her heart. A blond,, handsome woman of about 35 opened the door. "Are you Mrs. Hemingway?" hisRP-d th? wife. "Yes, ma'am," said the harpy very politely. "Well," almost shrieked the wraihy Mrs. Batwell, "where is my husband?" "I don't know, ma'am, I-really I'm afraid you're ilL Your hus band? Madam, I never saw you before; there's some mistake." "Do you mean to tell me you don't know Mr. William Guernsey Batwell? You shameless" . "Oh, goodness, what a start you gave me!" said the bfond woman sinking into a chair. "At first I thought you were insane. You're Mrs. Batwell, aren't you? I'm so glad to meet you, but your husband will be dreadfully disappointed. He" I "Disappointed !" "Yes, indeed. I ought to keep the secret, but it's too late now. You see, he's fixing up a new home for you on the boulevard, and he hoped to surprise you. My daugh ter and I just bought out all your old furniture except the pictures and a few heirlooms, and-why, we've been busy for two weeks help ing him to pack away ali your per sonal things. He took thc last oi them away yesterday. He's buying all new things for your new home We haven't, seen it, but I under stand it's to be one of the finest lit tle homes in Chicago. Oh, he'll bc so disappointed! He had his heart set on giving you a grand surprise when you got home from thc sea shore." Mrs. Batwell was almost laughing with delight. "Can you keep a secret, Mrs Hemingway?" she pleaded. "Don' tell him that I was here or abou this awful break I've made, wil you?" "Not a word," the gentle womal agreed, "if you will keep my secret.' "What's that?" "Don't ever let on that you kne\ about the new house until you se it. It would take half the pleasur out of it for him." 'And Mrs. Batwell and Florene went back to Bar Harbor withou even dropping in on Mrs. Howan or Billy.-Chicago Record-Herald. Each Day a Life. We hear it often said that life i but a day.

Immense New York Hotels. "If one of New York's big modern hotels could be whisked to the coun try and spread out in village forma tion the result would be a model r,.o prietary town of about 3,000 inhabi tants. One-half of these inhabitants would work, in relays, night and day, for the comfort and entertainment of the other half, whose obligation would be the payment of the bills, which, in the aggregate, would represent, ia- ad dition to the running expenses and perhaps $200,000 a year set aside for the proprietor's profits, the interest on $15,000,000,000 invested in land, buildings and furnishings. Many cities cannot muster a tax list of $15, 000,000, so that this town would be conspicuous above all others for wealth, and in completeness of the details that make the material side of life a joy it would be unrivalled. Some of its houses would be constructed for one family exclusively, and others would be arranged in single rooms and in suites. All would be furnished ia the most luxurious fashion. In the central ?fare house of the town's steward would be found a greater as sortment of ?applies for the cuisine than in any publio market ia the world. There would be a row of cook shops, each devoted to the prepara tion of a special course, ranging frcai the soups and entrees and roasts to the pastries and coffee. There would be half a dozen big banquet rooms and ball rooms, several music rooms and a well-appointed theatre or two. The town would have, of course, a tele graph office, a complete telephone sys tem and some means of rapid transit td every house. Enormous boPers would supply the heat and an electric light plant would furnish the illumi nation. There would be an ice plant large enough to manufacture fifty tons a day. There, would be silversmith, blacksmith and tinsmith shops, elec trical repair and machine shopo, flor ists, hair-dressing rooms for men and women. Turkish baths, upholstery and furniture shops, decorators and seamstresses, a steam laundry, a mes senger service, a printing office, a wine cellar, with half a million dollars' worth of ohoioe vintages, and a elub house, with billiard and reading rooms and oafes. The town would be policed day and night by a dozen private de tectives, and it would have a well trained fire department. There would be a bank, over whose counters would piss millions of dollars each year, and a central executive office, with scores of clerks and bookkeepers and audi tors. The proprietor of this town would assume all the housekeeping cares of his 1,500 tenants and of many of his 1,500 employees. He would provide amusements and aot as the Court of last resort. It would seem as if the man who was rash enough to attempt the management of such a town, staking his fortune on the issue, must necessarily fall, but as a fair illustration it is net overdrawn. Its parallel is found in a compact form, with no features missing, and many added, in the modern big hotel that has reached the highest development in New York. "Neither the bigness nor the com pleteness of a big hotel is appreciated by the patron who finds hi? interest satisfied with the accommodations which it furn.?ues. He knows in a general way that it may be a dozen stories high and several cellars deep, and that tho thousand or more guests are attended by servants on every band, and when he pays his bill he believes that the charges aro exorbi tant. One of these hotels, which differs from the others chiefly in de gree, represents an investment of $15, 000,000. The 1,400 bed rooms and 750 bath rooms in it are so constructed by a series of inner courts that caoh opens *o the outer air. It has several concert halls and theatres, three great ball rooms, and, in addition to its publio dining room, where, during Horse Show week, for instance, 10,000 people are served daily, it has a series of private dining rooms, whioh are ar ranged for from ten to ono thousand persons. In the largest ball room in this hotel was given one night last winter the Charity Ball, attended by 3,500 people,, to whom supper was served, and on the same evening in other parts of "tho hotel were in pro gress two concerts, a dinner of an as sociation- of ?00 men, and a dozen smaller dinner p ties in private din ing rooms, each i~elated so completely that no one of the 1,500 regular guests need know of it." "For his service the ohef of a big hotel may receive $10,000 a year, a big salary for cooking, but by no moans ont of proportion to his value to the hotel. He is supreme in his workshop,, the ki tenon a, whioh are large, brilliantly lighted and scrupu lously olean rooms, with hardly a sug gestion in tho Z.-.7 ?if broiling and bak ing and roasting and~frying that is going on all around. Tho chef, with sub-chefs over the butcher shops, the soaps, the entrees, the roasts, the vegetables, the bake trees, the roasts, the vegetables, the bake shops and the pastries, and a hundred cooks are call ing oat orders in French, fer they are nearly all French or Swiss, and French is the language of the kitchen as well as of the court wherever a good eui sine is attempted, and bustling around in their white eaps and aprons, so intent co their work that the intru sion of a stranger is Dot uotice?. The waiters, io their black coats, with their order cards and their trays, thread their way in and out among the cooks, each hurrying to fill his order in the shortest possible time. It is a finely specialized kitchen, however, and all the skurrying back and forth and shrill calls in French for portions of many dishes seem confusing only for a moment. Then follows an appre ciation of the wonderful system of the plaoe that insures the highest art in cooking, of the men who do nothing but roast all day with a knowledge of the exact number of minutes and even seconds required to produce the best results, of others who fry and bake ' and carvo and garnish, and of the garde-manager where the portions of meat and raw fcods are prepared and dresoKu JD readiness tor the range. "Each cook attends only to the pre paration of his own dishes, and as for tbs chef, ha seldom cooks at ail. He has an office of his own, where he keeps his memoranda, his books and his special menus, and the secrets of his business. During the rush hours his plaoe is in the centre of the kitchen, directing, watching, and, when necessary, admonishing. If several big banquets are in progress, making it neoessary to send hundreds of portions of each dish to them at onoc, it is the chef's duty to sec that these course; are sent up promptly, and to check off each one on the bul letin board at the time it is sent. When he goes off duty one of his as sistants takes his place. Besides thc cooks there are a dozen men and wo men who do nothing but ped potatoes, others who make toast, and still others who attend to thc big dish washing machines. The butcher and his assistants have charge of the sup plies of meats, sonic of which-for instance, beef-arc kept in the big re frigerators, where the temperature never varies a degree for three months before serving. In strong contrast with the dishes they have been pre paring is thc comparatively simple dinner of the cooks themselves. As they sit at the long table in their white aprons and caps before each one is placed a bottle of claret. They are the only employees to whom the hotel serves wine. This is aright jealously guarded by t^e cooks and, they allege, made necessary by their work over hot ranges."-George Barry Malton, in Ainslee's. Steer vs. Horse. "Speaking of fine horses," said a stranger in the city yesterday, "re minds me of the sad incident-in the life of Capt. James Evans, of Cum berland county. Ten years ago there was no man living that valued a fast horse more than Capt. Evans, but now he would pay as muoh for a good strong blind mule as for Cresceus. It ali came about this way: The cap tain got hold of a horse that he was certain was the quickest traveler ia Cumberland county, and he spent all his leisure time putting the animal in good racing shape. He had visions of unlimited first prizes at county fairs; and Iber ts' a no doubt about the fact that the horse was a hummer. One day Capt. Evans hitohed him to bis light dog cart started to town. Just as he drove out of his gate, he met a farmer that he knew, who was driving a big tall white steer to an old frayed-out top buggy. Tho captain said it was the most remarkable ox that he had ever seen and had the longest legs he had ever seen on any cattle kind. The captain and the farmer drove side by side for about a mile, talking of one thing and another, and just as tho captain was about to touoh up his horse and hurry on the farmer said: " 'Well, captain, this is mighty pleasant, but I reckon I must get on to town. "Gee Buck!" "With that the tall steer reached out his long legs and began to hit the grit at a great pace. "The captain was so amazed that for a minute he sat in his cart and watched that bloomin' ox trot. Then he got mad, reaching for his whip, chuckled and said: " 'G'laug, Katy Flyer!' " 'And Katy Flyer did all Bhe knew how.' 'You may not believe it, but the captain said he never was able to catch that white steer, though he raced him* for nearly seven miles. Sometimes the farmer would let him come pretty close and then he would take another grip on his plow lines, yelp 'Gee Buck,' and the way that old he-cow would buckle down to the earth and amble up and down these hills was a caution. Finally the cap tain realized that it was useless to race any further, pulled in his blood ed horse and watched thc trottic' steer, with his tail stretched straight ont behind, disappear from view. Since this experience 'Capt. Evans has had no uso for race horses." - Charlotte Observer?

Tha Kind YOB Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of Ingalts' Views on Death. In tho Democracy of thc dead all men at last are equal. There is uei th or rauk nor statio? nor prerogative in the republic of the grave. At this fatal threshold the philosopher ceases to be wiso, and the song of the poet is silent. Dives relinquishes bia mil lions and Lazarus his rags. The poor mao is as rich as the richest, and the rieh man as poor as the pauper. The creditor loses his usury, and the debt or >is acquitted of his obligations. There the proud man surrenders his dignities, the politician his honors, the worlding his pleasures; the inva lid needs no physician, and the labor er rests from unrequited toil. Here at last, is nature's final decree in equity. The wrongs of time are re dressed, injustice is expiated, the irony of fate is refuted, the unequal distribution of wealth, honor, capa city, pleasure and opportunity, which makes life so cruel and inexplicable a tragedy, ceases in the realms of death. The strongest there has no supremacy, and the weakest needs no defense. The mightiest captain succumbs to the invincible adversary, who dis arms alike the victor and thc van quished. - Mrs. Richard King, the largest woman landowner in the United States and who is known as the "Cattle Queen" of Texas, has just added to her immense domain by tho purchase of 110,000 acres of land adjoining the San Gertrude's ranch at $3 an acre. Before this purchase was made Mrs. KiDg had in her pastures considerably over 1,000,000 acres, from which have been sold this year 22,000 young steers and heifers, and there are now 10,000 head of all kinds of beef cattle on the ranch. - Georgia claims a man ninety-two years old, who never cast a vote or ran for office. Ile has, therefore, a good deal to learn yet, but it is, per haps, fortunate for the old gentleman j that his time is limited. - "Your wife," remarked the old \ friend, "tells me you are getting into society now." "No," replied the] plain man, who. had to pay for his wife's ambitions, 'society is getting into me." - Powdered charcoal, if laid thick on a burn, causes the immediate abatement of the pain. A superficial burn can thus be healed in about an hour. - The motto is, "Make hay while the sun shines." But you can't ac complish it with an umbrella in one hand and a palmetto fan in thc other. - No man .ver enjoys kissing a girl who owns a pug dog. - If a woman don't talk in her ?leep the chances are she snores. - Blank books possess no literary but they are bound to sell. - A man never objects to having his hair ont it cut rates, but bc draws the line at a cut rate shave. - After marriage many a girl thinks her ideal shattered when it is only sprained. - The man who is unable to borrow a dollar sutlers from financial depres sion. - Lots of people pursue a literary career, but few succeed in catching up with it. - A poor man who has a rich uncle may not be averse to taking the will for the deed. - It sometimes happens that the visitor who comes to town to see thc sights is one of the sights. - From a cliff 100 feet 'nigh one with clear vision can see a ship at a distance of forty-two miles. -There's always life in the old land. The trouble is you have to dig to find it. - You eau never rule with profit till you have learned to submit with patience. - There may bo charity without love but there cannot be love without charity._ A Chance at Big Money. The opportunities offered to farmers by tho two great fairs to be held this fall are in advance of all past records. With Atlanta offering $1,000, $500 and $800 for the best oounty exhibits, and Savannah offering even larger prizes for exhibits of this character, besides the splendid premiums offered by both fairs for individual exhibits, should inspire every one. Crop conditions are now favorable in most sections of the state, and every oounty should be represented at Atlanta And Savannah. To say nothing of the money to be won, it is t ruo that a conn j can have no better advertisement, for presentation as an argument to home seekers, than a first-class agricultural exhibit at these great fairs. The pro raters lists are liberal in every particu lar, and may be had upon application to decretory T. H. Martin at Atlanta, or to Secretary J. O. Shaw at &><vannah.

Take twp cups cf bet water half au hour before each meal and just before going to bed, also a drink of water, hot or cold, about two hours after each meal. Take lots of outdoor exer cise-walk, ride, drive. Make a reg ular habit of this and in many cases chronic constipation may be oared without the use of any medioine.
