^Well, I'll declare, if it isn't iny
? ? ' ' AT U^irr oro
OJU scnooimaie, .ua^un. hut,
you ojd boy?"
"Same old 76, Harmon. Not
?|uite so self-important as when I
wore captains cheverons at the
Citadel, but quite as undignified.
1 am very gFad I haven't changed
so much as to be unrecognizable.
Your three - to - the - square - inch
mustache fails to conceal your lace
as I last saw it."
"What a nice little home you
have!"
"Cozy indeed, Mayson. And
the beauty of it. lies iu the tact
that I have paid for it. It belonged
to my wife until I married
her."
"So that is the way you paid
lor it, eh?*'
"Suppose we go in and pet
comfortable before we discuss
conjapal affairs," suggested Harmon
glancing uneasily towards
the door as if he found some
eavesdropper.
Soon they were seated around a
plowing oak fire? that most expressive
welcome of a country
home. Mavson was struck with
iho tiHinosc and woman!v tact ev
idenoed by the arrangement of
furniture afid decorations. Strange
it is how men estimate a woman's
worth by such little thing.*; and
yet their estimations are seldom
wrong.'1
' Tell me something of yourself,
Mayson-r-your vocation, avocation
and health. I don't believe
we have met since 'emancipation
day', in Anderson, have
we? Married yet?"
' One at a time please, my
memory is not so good as when I
was 1st. sergeant, and could remember
enough cadet offences to
keep me writing a whole afternoon.
My vocation is practicing
medicine; my avocation is endeavoring
to collect bilis. My health
is excellent, accounted for by the
fact that I have in every case of
sickness used our old surgeon's
famous recuperator, "Q. (J. D."
My wife has become addicted to
ihe use of it. This last statement
answers your last question."
' How many childrcq have
you?" asked Harmou with the air
of a man who "told you so".
"Only seven", answered May6on
meekly. 4,Four girls and three
boys. I have twice beeu blessed
with,twins".
' My prophecy has been fulfilled,
said Harniou, I always did
think you would prosper, Mason".
I think it's my turn to cross
question awhile, Harmon. Ho*
has the world beetr serving you?
Are you 'batting' as many '3's' on
life's problems as you did on
Nichol's an J Bowser's?"
No '-Sirree! In dealing with
life's problems, I find absolutely
110 chance to 'spot'.
- j ?!i. 11
' I'll bet you nave a goou wne,
said May son with a glance around
the room.
"You'll win the bet, old boy for
sweeter woman never patted a
husband's cheek, nor has more industrious
ever disturbed a morning
nap. I have only one child,
who I am sorry to say is not so
gOod taking as I had reason to
expect Tie would be. Think he
lavors wife. Here come the boy
and his mother now."
/
"Wife, this is Mayson, my old
? classmate of whom you have so
often hear4 me speak".
Mrs. Harmon tjowed, smiling

sweetly, and then extended hei
hand.
Mavson was charmed with the
little woman with roguish brown
eyes.
"I am glad to meet the wife of
my old friend. An introduction
seems unnecessary."
' And it is Mr. Mayson," she declared
with that inimitable sincerity
of the true Charlestonian.
' Had I met you five years ago, ]
could not have known better than
I do. Ju9l consider our introduction
as having taken place at that
time, and make youiself one
of us."
"Thank you, Mrs. Harmon, you
are a typical Charlestonian. The
hospitality of the dear old 'City

era have never left its firesides
unsatisfied, and 1 was a stanger
once. Are you quite happy happy,
so far away from your old
home?" kkOh, quite! llow could
I be else with such a dutiful and
and affectionate husband."
"That's the speech she keeps on
hand for compapy," he observed
drily. "If vou could have heard
her the other day when she'found
a lady's glove in my coat pocket,
you would not have recognized
me. After about ten minutes of
rapid respiration, punctured with
vehement monosyllables, and
abundant perspiration over what
she termed la heartless conspiration,'
her vituperation settled
upon what she called the "little
she devil." Now the strange part
of it all, Maysoo, is that the glove
turned out to be her own."'
"Why"?
"Please don't, Lou, I wont say
any more, except that I couldn't
do without you. Now get your
good husband and his iriend some
dinner. Shall I select the menu?"
"Yes," she replied. "If you
don't you might grumble in the
presence of your guest. I'll go
fire the stove."
Harmon was retrospective for a
moment, then he exclaimed: "Say,
Mayson, let's have Citadal fare
to-day, for the sake of old times?"
"Good," said Mayson. "Won't
we enjoy it though!"
Harmon obtained a piece of
paper and wrote the following:

"VIRTUOUS ADVICE."
Two young couples left Minneapolis
one morning for tho purpose
ol visiting the public schools
in in St. Paul. Not until noon
did they decide to remain in the
' saintly city for luncheon, and
when they did make up their
> minds lo dine away from home
i thev were unable to choose a
proper cafe, fiually one of Ihe
young men accosted a policeman,
i sopposedly on duty, and said:
"Officer, can you direct us to
- the best restaurant in town? You
see, we have two very fino young
. ladies, and we want to go to a very
' nice place,"
i "Well," responded the officer,
"fro to McU.'s, on Avenue. I
think you will that Tery tempt'
mg."
The yoang man having heard of
1 McU.'s before, thought it not
1 quite the proper place, so said,
uYes, officer, but we have two
very nice girls with us, and we
' would not like to go to any questionable
place."
"Well," says the officer, "if vou
have anybody so blamed nice, you
had better go down to the wagon
on the next corner, buy a tripe
sandwich a la carte, and go up in
some church and eat it."
Some moments later the young
people were seen at MeO.'s, evidently
satisfied with the choice.

"After I had tried many doctors and 1
medicines to no avail one of my friends r
persuaded me to try Kodol. It gave 5
immediate relief. I can eat almost r
anything I want now and my digestion 1!
is good. I cheerfully recommended ?
Kodol." Don't try to cure stomach j
trouble by dieting. That only further .
weakens the system. You need whole- I

enables you to assimilate what you eat
by digesting it without the stomach's j
aid. D.C.Scott. 2
