MISERERI MEI DOMINI
By CHARLE8 W. CUNO.
In the provinoe of San Diego, near
the River La Plaza, grew at one time
the prettiest flowever
fashioned into
womanhood. A
L ' rustic picture was
ST 1 I J vlna MprrPflftB
E Don P.lo, <tart
handsome, stood
beneath a festoonad
palmetto and
g&xed enraptured
at this piteure. i
In the distance
could be heard
the silvery peal of
i a convent bell
and, when the
wind quieted, the
faint echo of the
Mlsereri floated
on the air. I
Palo approached
and touched the
listening girl upon
the arm.
"Oh, Palo! Is it you?" she cried.
He took her hands in his and print*
ed a fervent kiss upon her lips. "Yea,
Mercedes," he answered, "I have come
back to see you once again."
"But? but?" she began.
"No, Chlqulta, there Is little danger.
No one knows that I am here." j
Out of the convent window Sister
Sorice looked listlessly.
As she looked the two parted, and
Mercedes was left standing alone. She
was the daughter of a miller, he the i
son of the governor of the province
of San Diego. SiBter Sorice shook
her head sadly. Three months before
she had witnessed their first meeting.
When Palo went to his father and
confessed his love for Mercedes, he ,
flew into an awful rage.
"Son," he said sternly, "you will
never go near the miller's daughter
again. I shall give orders. If you
are caught there, you will be put in
prison. Remember, I mean what I
say." I
But Palo came again to see his
Mercedes and Sister Sorice was watch
ing from her high convent winaow.
Alas, he came to tell hla sweetheart
that he is going away on a trip to
far off Spain, but he will be back
again in a year, perhaps sooner. Will
she wait for him till then?
"In the morning," he said, "I may
see you again, 'tis for the last time by
the bridge that goes over the Plata,
Is It not so? Mia Carrlssima!"
Tears came to the girl's eyes as Bhe
nodded her head. He kissed her and
went down the path. In the morning
she was waiting for him at the bridge
when Palo arrived. She was about
to fly into his arms, when, out from
the shrubbery stepped a soldier. "I
arrest you Senor," he said.
The officer's back was turned toward
her. An impulse, a flash, and It was
done. She had drawn the dagger from
her girdle and plunged u Ifltfl hli frl"1'
l?aIoi!S5^ja?ck
aghast. \
"If I am caught now," he cried. \
"But you will not. Go I Go! she\
cried, in frenzy pushing him toward |
the bridge. At the bridge she stop- t
ped. "Kiss me once," she cried. He j
stooped and kissed her passionate- j
ly. ]
They parted a~d Mercedes began to
run quickly through the woods. .
She saw people standing around the
body. She fancied she heard her
name spoken. Fleet as a deer, she {
sped away, but before she had gone
a hundred yards, she was discovered.
There was a shout and a dozen started
after her. j
The silver bell of the convent wasy
again ringing and she ran instinctively
towards the sombre sheltering waUs.
She stumbled up the steps and^Jfell
into the arms of Sister Sorlce.,Snatching
the silver crucifix, from
her girdle Sorice held it defiantly into
the faces of the oncoming mtTb. They
recoiled from it as-frbm a great repellant
force.
"Stop," she cried, "she has taken
refuge with God. Would you defile
tin oon/ifiiorr of lha T,r?rd?"
They looked Into the calm, determined
face of Sister Sorlce, and
one by one, slunk Bhamefacedly away.
Trembling, Mercedes wept out her
tory to the sister, who, when ahe
beard It, wept with her.
"My child," said Sister Sorlce, gently
putting her arm about Mercedes,
"I will tell ycu a story. Twenty yeara
ago a maiden bid her lover good-bye
by that little bridge down there. 'Walt
for me,' he said. 'I will return soon!'
But he did not, and soon the maid
took refuge In this convent to hide
her Bhame. A little girl waa born and
a good man took pity on It and adopted
It as his own. That maid, Mercedes,
was myself. For twenty years I have
looked down that road, watching for
the return of my lover."
She paused and looked at Mercedes
with Infinite yearning. "And you,"
she continued at last, "Has the miller
never told you."
Mercedes looked at the slater In
surprise. "Told me what?"
"You?you are?ray?child."
Many years have passed since then. !
One weary watcher has been laid to *
rest, but there is a sister still, with
snowy white hair and kind, wistful
face, who stands by the high little
window and looks out upon the road.
Perhaps she fancies Bhe hears a
voice. It is only the humming of the
old oell and the echo of the quavering
voices as they sing: j
"Mlsereri raei Domini."

PHIL LOST THE BET
By IDA SHEPLER.
????i
McQulre languidly watched the
smoke curl from his cigar, play in
weaving circles about his shapely face
and head, then float off to the realms
of pipe dreams. Presently a dreamy,
satisfied smile stole into his blue eyes.
He was so sure of her truth, integrity
and love for himself. Adorable Lora.
He was hastening back to her and
their wedding day at steamer speed.
The half closed door of his room let
In the sound of voices. It was Ed
Ralney and Tom Larkin. McQuire had
run into them 'somewhere abroad.
They were coming home on the same
steamer.
"Aawo f?Ann hn/1 lert'f lip^" RnillPV
Uuuv, guue vuu, <uu v mv ?...
was saying. "Believes that Tx>ra is
Innocence personified. Doesn't know
that she's a good five years or more
older than himself. Don't guess that
she's out to marry a fortune. Don't
know that she's, in turn, been sweet- (
heart to all of us, or anything of that
affair of hers and Lambert's, does he?"
McQuire's cigar dropped from his .
parted lips. The red leaped in an
ugly flame to his face. They were
talking, these friends of his, of the girl
he was to marry. His right hand
opened to slap little Rainey fair in
his calumniating mouth. Larkin's an wer
came slowly, between puffs at'
his pipe: "McQuire is young. She
isn't good enough for him, that's only
too true. But, Rainey, the girl was
only a little reckless, too much of a
flirt. Nothing worse. Lambert is a
liar. McQuire's a good looker and no*'
body's fool, if he was born to revel in
gold."
"Lora would not marry any man
unless he brought her gold?" Rainey
till persisted. "Oh, you need not
worry about shutting the door; McQuire
is on the deck. I saw him go up
an hour ago."
McQuire fidgeted and worried about
his cabin for an hour after. Not a
doubt of Lora's love edged itself in his
mind. No one but himself had ever
possessed her heart. Of that he was
sure.
After awhile the plan he would work
to confute these friends came crowding
Itself into his head. It was neither
new or original, but it would do.
Rainey and Larkin found him dull
company forthwith. Then its reason
came out. He had received a telegram
at starting. Hoped it was not so bad
as stated. His fortune, to the last
dollar, was in Jeopardy. He had mado
some foolish investment. Further he
would not talk. Simply moped, smoked
and read.
"Ralney, the little sneak, will go
tralght to Boston and tell Lora," McQuire
thought to himself. "Nothing
will suit him better. Nothing will suit
me better, either."
From New York McQuire wrote a
brief letter to Lora:
"My Dearest: I'm viewing the hole
where it has all gone down. You no ,
doubt have heard of the Parkinson !
company crash? The private fortunes
they swampedjtitiL-lhiUT own stupeniftflCB
fattiwe? i have titrated

cry over spilled milk. It's done, and
can't be helped. I can work for my
tarling. I have youth, health, strength
in>d love left. You know I studied
awV Behold a future Webster in your
tusbal^d. I cannot wait to see you.
Lovingly? Phil."
Raines/was with Lora when she rejelved
{his epistle. He watched her
pretty /ace turn pale, then flushed.
"Of/course it's love in a cottage?"
saicyRainey.
"?f course it isn't." she flared. "Is it
a fjact that he was fool enough to trust
fiis immense fortune in the keeping of
that company he refers to?"
"Guess ho did. He was tolerably
frank about the matter. He Is playing
cheerful to you in this letter. He believes
that nothing would separate
your love from him."
"What!" she nearly shrieked; "marry
a pauper? Hah. ho hasn't bruins
enough to get a first client. Me do
kitchen work and make my own
clothes for love's sake? Well, hardly.**
Phil was nearly a month getting
over everything that followed that letter.
At the end of that time he was
tf good as new.
Gladys, Phil'B cousin, went calling
on Lora, her cousin's lato betrothal
ring shining on her hand.
It wasn't fitting for Lora to notice
this, but she did the lovely bracelets
Gladys was wearing. "A gift from
Cousin Phil," the girl quite innocently
answered.
"I never knew that you had a
cousin so fond of you. Seems to me
that I heard your cousin lost all his
money." Lora's eyes were wide with
surprised inquiry.
"Oh, no." Gladys went on, still more
Innocently; "Phil never lost his money.
Not a cent. He was m roped to somo
girl. I couldn't get him to tell me
who. He brought her so many presents
from abroad. Then, because one
of the friends he same home with
ViQf him nr snnipfhiRL' like that, his
affianced wouldn't marry him if ho
were to lose his money, wrote her he
had lost all. Phil lost the bet, ol
course, but wasn't it lucky for me?"

EAST RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION.
The Remedy tliat Replaces CalomelCauses
No Restriction
of Habit or Diet.
It is a mistake to take calomel when
your liver is lazy and needs toning
up. Hundreds of people In this section
have discovered that Dodson's
Liver Tone is a thousand times bet4er
and safer and its action is just as
sine. There are none of the bad after-effects
of calomel to Dodson's Liver
Tone and no danger of salivation.
For attacks of constipation or bil- [
liousness one or two teaspoonfuls of
this mild, pleasant tasting vegetable
liquid are enough and McBee Drug
Co. gives a personal guarantee that
every bottle will do all that is claimed
for it. Money back in any case where
it fails.
Dodson's Liver Tone costs only 50
cents for a large bottle. Remember
the name because there are any number
of remedies sold in imitation of
Dodson claims. Some of them have
names very similar to Dodson's Liver
Tone?and are in same color package.
These imitations are not guaranteed |
and may be very harmful. Go to
I.add's Drug Store and you will surely
jtet the genuine.
Play Best Exercise.
The best Kind or exercise is tne
kind that makes you forget that you
are exercising?in other words play,
says a physician. It's a rood scheme
to have some more or less strenuous
game for a hobby?golf or bowling
or tennis or archery?anything that
appeals to you and affords exercise
with interest. But this is not saying
that systematic exercise is not a good
thing, too.
