ScoviUe Building, Over Orangeburg Rank. TU r nrt?TTiiT u/irr [ mililm ?irr.. By ARTHUR MAXWELL. [Copyright, 1S09, by American Press Asso ciation.] "Mary!" called Mrs. Fenton, the pretty, young, but rather jealously in clined wife of George Feuton. Mrs. Fenton was plainly angry and held in ber bands a letter whicii . nowed signs of having been curried long in a pock et with tobacco aud pencils. "Yis, ma'am," auswered Mary, com ing to tbe door. Tbis door led to the dining room, and it was from tbere tbat Mary came. The little parlor of the tiny flat had another door which led to the bed room* aud still auother which gave out into the general hall. And Mary stood looking with surprise at her young mistress, for it was evident that she was laboring under some heavy strain. "Mary, oh, Mary, just to think! I have found this letter in George's pock et, aud I am heartbroken. 1 never thought he would do such a thing. He always pretended to love me so!" And here she dissolved in tears. "Oh, don't take on so! Now, beloike j it wor somethin' he picked up in the strate to show you." 'Oh, every one toid me not to marry a commercial traveler. Listen: 'My own iovey dovey. Your own ownest chicky J wicky will wait at the gatey patey at' 9. Don't forget your Dotty Dimple." 'Now, Mary. I am sure this letter Is not an old one. I'll punish him! I'll put his love to a test that will show j whether he loves me or Dotty Dimple! best Mary, I'll be dead when he comes." "Oh. Mrs. Fenton!" "Now. don't cry, Mary. 1 don't mean really dcnd. but I'm going to pretend it. and you must help me." Mrs. Fenton was very young. "I'll go and get out my old crape veil and tic it on the doorknob and get some flowers and all sort of things. When he comes bring him right in here. Lower the curtains, aim I'll be laid out on the table, and you get out? two of my best sheets and a pillow. We'll put these two tables together end for end. and I'll be laid out on them, and you pretend to cry. But you must put the flowers on first. Then watch him closely and tell me nfter ward what he does. His train will be here a quarter to S. and we must bur ry. You get the things ready while I am out." Mary grumbled to herself that this was the foolisbest thing her young mistress, who was so very emotional, ever did, and she did not at all like the idea of pretending to be dead. But "hers not to reason why," and she did as she was told. Mrs. Feuton had gone out through the dining room and down the back stairs, while Mary went to the linen closet and looked for the "best sheets," and this took several min utes. Anyhow it took Ions enough for George Fenton to open the ball door with his pass key and come in quietly. He looked sleepy and as though a shave would do him good. His jolly face was wreathed in smiles, which faded slowly as he saw that his wife was not there. His cigar had gone out, and lie yawned widely, saying: 'Now, where is Annie? Well, the game lasted until daylight, and I am in just $(J00. Well, as she is not here I guess I'll take a nap and a shave, "WHAT WAS THE MATTEK WITH HSU? She's probably gone to market, and as sbe doesn't expect me on this train, why, I have half an hour anyhow." Saying these words, George, the handsome; George, the best traveling ] salesman east of the Allegbenies; George, the inveterate poker player, took his gripsack and went quietly into the bedroom. There was a fear ful and wonderful screen before this door, and one in that room could bear aud see all that was taking place in the parlor, himself unseen. It was not very long before George heard Mary in the parlor moving the tables, but he never interfered in the household matters, and indeed Annie J was a famous housekeeper. His face I j was covered with lather besides. Then ] I he beard the doer open and his wife enter. He could not decently rush <'!it an?J kiss her until be had got the j lather <?ff bis face. so he hastened the j operation, but was suddenly che? ked by hearing his wife say: "Now. hurry. Mary, and uet the ta bles together over here by the window and draw the curtains. I've tied the crape on the door. It is nearly time. Mr. Ericson's Old House. Go see it, it's a beauty. It stands out among all its neighbors, because the coloring is so bright and clear. Mr. Erlcson painted with L. & M. Paint and says it cost 1-3 less than ever before. He bought only 12 gallons of L. & M. Paint and 9 gal lons of Linseed Oil to mix with It. This made 21 gallons of pure paint, and cost only $1.20 per gallon. It's as handsome as the finest In town. The L. & M. Is sold by J. G. Wan namaker Mfg. Co., Orangeburg, S. C. Mary. I will get up on the table and 11c down, and t.i?u you cover the sheet over me and lay the wreath on my breast and scatter the other flow ers along the sheet. Then when he comes in you tell him that 1 found this letter on the floor, and?mind that I say on the floor?and that 1 gave one piercing shriek and fell dead." "I will, ma'am," said Mary, taking the ragged letter. In the meantime Mrs. Fenton had pushed a chair to the side of the table and prepared to mount, while she said plaintively: "Oh, Mary, 1 feel like some of the people they write about?the Indian girls that leap from precipices, singing their death songs. "Place me on Sunlum's marbled steep, Where nothing but the waves and I Can hear their ghostly murmurs sweep. There, swan-like, let me sing and die." Annie stepped to the table from the chair preparatory to lying down and ?assuming her corpselike position. Mary gathered her skirts around her feet. Mrs. Fenton had on a very pretty white dress with much lace around the waist. She prepared to "be dead," as Jenny Wren calls it, when George, who had got nearly all the soap out of his eyes and off his face, stepped forward to surprise his pretty wife, whom lie sincerely loved. But the strange words and actions caused blm to stop, listen and look through a hole In the screen. At first he thought of rushing out and surprising her. But he didn't and stood quite still, awaiting developments. At last Mrs. Fenton managed to get down to the table, and Mary adjusted her head and the clothes about her feet. Mrs. Fenton closed her eyes and folded her hands across her breast; then she waj suddenly struck by a thought. "Mary, don't cover my face until just before you go to the door. Oh, I for got to loosen my hair! George likes to see it so! And Mary, 1 do hope and pray he may repent after this." "Well, ma'am, he ought to, but I don't see what he has done." While this was being said and done George said to himself: "By Jinks, this is getting Interesting. I'll help carry this thing out In flue style. It is a joke that can cut two ways. I'll slip out the back way and ring the bell and come in, and I'll bet a stack of little round silver dollars she'll never play such a trick again." And he took his gripsack and went out the back way. Mary continued arranging the corpse and set all the chairs arouud the walls as if for a funeral. Then the bell rang suddenly and hard. Mary jumped. Mrs. Fenton said: "Hurry, quick; give me the powder box!" And she put the powder on so thickly that she did look very white. She continued hurriedly: "Now, Mary, cover my face careful ly so I won't sneeze. Now go and let film In." As she said this Mrs. Fenton sud denly began to quiver and lift her knees under the sheet and sneezed three times, while Mary was fairly dancing with fear as the bell rang again, this time furiously. At this minute George was at the door and bounced in. laughing heart ily, while Mary looked too shocked for words. He threw the bag down with a slam as he shouted: "So the old hen has kicked the buck et, hopped the twig, passed In her checks and gone to kingdom come! Well, I'm not going to cry over it. What was the matter with her?" Mary remembered her Instructions and with a tragic air handed blm the letter. "This, sor!" George took the letter and read it, laughing still harder. "YIs, sor; she found It on the flure? ou the flure?yis, on the flurc-and fell did on the spot." "What spot?" asked George. looking about him curiously. "Lor". I don't know, sor," replied the girl, who was beginning to be rattled with the turn affairs were taking. "Well, I don't care. Now, Mary, this letter was written to her by a big lam mux of a pa loot, and I wish he had married her." At this studied insult Mrs. Fenton lifted her head under the sheet. Mary only saw it and stifled a cry. "I say. Mary," said George, "you are a nice looking girl, and I kn<" . you are tidy and a good cook. Now. what do you say to taking the old hen's place. I've had my eye upon you for a long time." There was another subdued commo tion under the sheet. "Just as soon as she Is planted, for It would be an awful"bother to break up housekeeping, and you could have all her clothes, her sealskin coat?and? ah?her table linen. (This last was Annie's joy and pride.) Oh. say, I'll have her cremated! I suppose there'll be a coroner's Inquest and an autopsy. Yes, I'll have the autopsy, for she swallowed a gold dollar once. And, Mary, get your scissors. I'll cut her hair off. She won't need it where she's one, and J guess it's worth at least :>25. And, Mary, you take out her teeth. They cost And then the sheet quivered again. But he kept bis back turned. He conlinued: "Well, it was a kind of sudden tak ing off. But then I save the expense of a doctor's bill, and she was getting airing in years?yes, fifty if she was a day." Mary stammered: "Laws! I wouldn't have gave her over twenty-two." Mary saw the (1st that now protruded. George lighted a cig.ir and continued: "Ob, wotlten have a way of fixing themselves up Now. you wouldn't believe i'. but she had a cork leg!" At last Man understood that Mrs Fenton wanted her to get him out of the room and said; "Ah. Mr. Fenton. won't you come to the dlnin' room and eat n bit of ?ome Rev. I. W. Williamson's Letter. Rev. I. W. Williamson, Hunting ton, W. V., writes: This is to cer tify that I used Foley's Kidney Rem edy for nervous exhaustion and kid ney trouble and am f^ee to say that it will do all that you claim for it."

You haven't had your brikfast yit" "No, Mary, I'm having too good a time in here. This is the first time I've ever smoked in my own parlor. I say, Mary, you are a nice girl. Get some whisky and bring it here. She would never let me have a drop In th? house. If I had been all the repro bates she called me? Well, Mary, you are a girl after my own heart." "Oh. Mr. Fenton, please don't talk so.' The missis"? "Is dead. Long may she stay so. Here, let me put this wreath on your golden head. Mary." This. George proceeded to do. and Mary nearly fainted. Mrs. Fenton, who had borne all she could, sat up, throwing off the sheet, flowers and all and, weeping into one corner of the sheet, she cried: "Wretch! Villain! How dare you? Aren't you ashamed of yourself? I'll leave you this very hour, making fun of me and lying?yes. you did, you did; you know you did!" With the powder on her face and her disheveled hair she looked very wild. He turned and said disgustedly: "Ah, why didn't you stay dead?" "I never thought you could be so un feeling. I thought you cared a little for me, and I wanted to teach you a lesson. Mary, come here and take out my teeth?if you cau. Both my legs are cork, since I was born in Cork. You hateful thing, wanting to get mar ried again before I was cold! Mary, I give you warning. You are a bold, bad thing! Bring me my things. I'll go home to my mother." "Mary." said George seriously, "bring a damp towel to wipe off this powder. Listen, Annie. I was on to this from the first. 1 am heartbroken." As he said these words George threw himself flat on the floor, sobbing aloud: "You might' have killed me with the shock. Annie. I hastened home, count ing the hours. I came home while you were out, and I went into the bed room to shave so you would not be disgusted with my rough face. I heard the whole plot. How could you treat an adoring husband like that?so cruel ly? Oh. Annie!" "But?I found a letter"? "I picked that up in the street?ah? to?do some figuring. You will find figures on It. But, oh. Annie! Your lack of confidence"? "Oh, George, forgive me! Of course but 1 didn't see any figures on It. and, oh, do say you forgive me, George! I am so unhappy." "I will, Annie, I will, but don't ever doubt me again." As George took his repentent young wife in his arms she turned and said: "Mary, you are to stay. George, you are an angel to forgive me so. and you may smoke where you please, aud, oh, I'll go and fix my hair." "Better Dead." A Massachusetts farmer sent a I'.rge black hen to his married daughter, who lives in Springfield and who wish ed to keep this present as a pet. Upon the arrival of the fowl it was immedi ?uely placed in a coop which chanced to be within sight of the street. It wasn't Ion:; before a neighbor, passing by, said: "Got a hen. haven't you?"
