A Difficulty Overcome With
the Aid of Cupid
. By O. HENRY
Copyright, mo, by Doubleday, Pace
& Co.
The poet Longfellow—or was it Con
fucius, the Inventor of wisdom ?—re
marked:
Life la real, life Is earnest,
And things are not what they seem.
As mathematics are, or is—thanks,
old subscriber I—the only just rule by
which questions of .life can be meas
ured, let ns by all means adjust our
theme to the straight edge and the bal
anced column of the great goddess
Two and Two (Make Four. Figures
—unassailable Sums in addition—shall
be set over against whatever opposing
element there may be.
A mathematician after scanning tho
above two lines of poetry would say:
"Ahem! ,Yoqng gentlemen, if we as
sume that X plus—that Is, that life is
real—then things (all of which life In
cludes) are real. Anything that is real
is what it seems. Then If we consider
the proposition that 'things are not
what they seem,' why"—
But this is heresy and not poesy.
We woo the sweet nymph Algebra.
We would conduct you into the pres
tnce of the elusive, seductive, pursued,
satisfying, mysterious X.
Not long before the beginning of this
century Septimus Kinsolving, an old
New Yorker, invented an idea. He
originated the discovery that bread la
made from flour and not from wheat
futures. Perceiving that the flour crop
was short and that the stock exchange
was having no perceptible effect on
the growing wheat, Mr. Kinsolving
cornered the flour market
The result was that when you or my
landlady (before the war she never
had to turn her hand to anything;
southerners accommodated) bought a
five cent loaf of bread you laid down
an additional 2 cents, which went to
Mr. Kinsolving as a testimonial to his
perspicacity.
A second result was that Mr. Kin
solving Quit the game with 12,000,000
prof—er—rakeoff.
Mr. Klnsolving's son Dan was at
college when the mathematical ex
periment In breadstuffs was made.
Dan came home during vacation and
found the old gentleman in a red
dressing gown reading "Little Dorrlt"
on the porch of his estimable red brick
mansion in Washington square. He
bad retired from business with enough
extra two cent pieces from bread buy
ers to reach, it laid side by side, fifteen
times around the earth and lap as far
; as the public debt of Paraguay.
Dan shook hands with his father
and hurried over to Greenwich village
to see his old high school friend, Ken
witz. Dan had always admired Ken
wltz. Kenwitz was pale, curly haired,
Intense, serious, mathematical, studi
ous, altruistic, socialistic and the nat
ural foe of oligarchies. Kenwitz had
foregone college and was learning
watchmaking in his father's jewelry
store. Dan was smiling, Jovial, easy
tempered and tolerant alike of kings
and ragpickers. The two foregathered
Joyously, being opposites. And then
, Dan went back to college and Ken
witz to his mainsprings—and to his
private library in the rear of the Jew
elry shop.
Four years later Dan came back to
Washington square with the accumu
j iations of B. A. and two years of
I Europe thick upon him. He took a
filial look at Septimus Klnsolving's
elaborate tombstone in Greenwood and

Dan's arm with the grip of a friend
and a judge.
"You can't do ltl" he said emphat
ically. "One of the chief punish
ments of you men of 111 gotten wealth
is that when you do repent you find
that you have lost the power to make
reparation or restitution. I admire
your good intentions, Dan, but you
can't do anything. Those people were
robbed of their precious pennies. Ifs
too late to remedy the evil. You can't
pay them back."
"Of course," said Dan, lighting his
pipe, "we couldn't hunt np every one
of the duffers and hand 'em back tlu
right change. There's an awful lot oi
'em buying bread all the time. Funny
taste they have. I never cared for
bread especially, except for a toasted
cracker with the Roquefort But we
might find a few of 'em and chuck
some of dad's cssh back where It
came from. I'd feel better If 1 could.
It seems tough for people to be held
up for a soggy thing like bread. One
wouldn't mind standing a rise In broil
ed lobsters or deviled crabs. Get to
work and think. Ken. I want to pay
back all of that money I can."
"There are plenty of charities,'' said
Kenwitz mechanically.
"Easy enough," said Dan In a cloud
of smoke. "I suppose I could give the
city a park or endow an asparagus bed
In a hospital. But I don't want Paul
to get away with the proceeds of the
gold brick we sold Peter. It's ths
bread shorts I want to cover, Ken."
The thin fingers of Kenwitz moved
rapidly.
"Do you know how much money It
would take to pay back the losses ol
consumers during that corner ID
flour?" he asked.
"I do not," said Dan stoutly. "My
lawyer tells me that I have two mil
lions."
"If you had a hundred millions," said
Kenwitz vehemently, "you couldn't re
pair a thousandth part of the damage
that has been done. Yon cannot con
ceive of the accumulated evils pro
duced by misapplied wealth. Each
penny that was wrung from the lean
purses of the poor reacted a thousand
fold to their harm. You do not under
stand. You do not see how hopeless
is your desire to make restitution. Not
In a single Instance can it be done."
"Back up, phUosopber!" said Dan.
"The penny has no sorrow that the
dollar cannot heal."
"Not in one Instance," repeated Ken
witz. "I will give you one and let
us see. Thomas Boyne had a little
bakery over there In Varlck atreet
He sold bread to the poorest people.
When the price of flour went up he
had to raise the price of bread His
customers were too poor to pay It,
Boyne's business failed and be lost
his 11,000 capital—all be bad In the
world."
1 Dan Kinsolving atruck the park
bench a mighty blow with his fist
"I accept the Instance," be cried.
"Take me to Boyne. I will repay bis
thousand dollars and buy him a new
bakery."
"Write your check," aald Kenwitz
without moving, "and then begin to
write checks In payment of the train
of consequences. Draw the next one
for $60,000. Boyne went insane after
his failure and set flre to the building
from which he was about to be evict
ed The lose amounted to that much
Boyne died In an asylum." ,
"Stick to the Instance," said Dan.
"I haven't noticed any insurance com
panles on my charity list"
"Draw your nest cheek for 1100,000,"
went on Ken wit*. "Boyne's son fell
into bad ways after the bakery cloved

silence. Thus they came into the pres
ence of the last item of the Instance.
"How many this week, Miaa Mary?"
asked the watchmaker. A mountain
of coarse (raj shirts lay upon the
floor.
"Nearly thirty dozen," said the yonng
woman cheerfully. "I've made al
most $4. I'm Improving, Mr. Kenwltz.
I hardly know what to do with so
much money." Her eyes turned,
brightly soft. In the direction of Dan.
A little pink spot came out on her
round, pale cheek.
Kenwltz chuckled like a diabolic
raven.
"Miss Boyne," he said, "let me pre
sent Mr. Klnsolvlng, the son of the
man who put bread up five years ago.
He thinks he would like to do some
thing to aid those who were "Incon

The smile loft the young woman's
face. She rose and pointed her fore
finger toward the door. This time she
looked Klnsolvlng straight In the eye,
but it was not a look that gave de
light.
The two men went down Into Varlck
street. Kenwltz, letting all his pes
simism and rancor and hatred of the
octopus come to the surface, gibed at
the moneyed side of his friend In an
acrid torrent of words. Dan appeared
to be listening and then turned to
Kenwltz*and shook hands with him
warmly.
"I'm obliged to you, Ken, old man."
he said vaguely, "a thousand times
obliged."
"Mein Gott! You are crazy!" cried
the watchmaker, dropping his specta
cles for the first time in years.

Two months afterward Kenwltz
went into a large bakery on lower
Broadway with a pair of gold rimmed
eyeglasses that he bad mended for the
proprietor.
A lady was giving an order to a
clerk as Kenwltz passed her.
"These loaves are 10 cents," said the
clerk.
"I always get them at 8 cents up

Kenwltz was trying to train his so

on her wonderful fur boa and the car

"Dan and I were married a month

A Deal In Antiques.
A certain dealer in London, having
a number of alleged Chippendale chairs
for sale, approached a well known no
bleman and succeeded in selling the
set for >5,000 td the latter. Later on
the purchaser, being informed that the
chairs were "faked," wrote to the deal
er and demanded his money back. The
wily dealer wrote back a hurt and of
fended letter to his patron, protesting
that his honesty had been impugned,
but to show his good faith he would
be willing to pay 1,000 guineas to get
the chairs back. So It was done, and
within a few hours tho nobleman's
receipt for that amount was being held
under the nose of an American mil
lionaire as proof that the chairs had
been bought from that well known
collector. Lord . Of course the
dealer must have his profit, and the
American millionaire finally banded
over a check for 112,000 and carried
his bargain triumphantly across the
Atlantic.

HOMESICKNESS.
" A Real Dissase That May Affsot I very
a Organ In ths Body.
0 If you doubt that homesickness
is a real disease, to which the most
g sturdy and self sufficient mortal
may be subject physically, it is evi
-0 dent you have not traveled widely.
i Homesickness to the grown man
1 seems like a disease for susceptible
r children, a mental trouble which if
| experienced must not be revealed
s ; for fear of ridicule. It seems like
an ailment for the timid and shrink
\_ing. It is no such thing,
' j There was never an army recruit
ed that did not suffer to a man
. with a more or less intense attack
of the disease, though few soldiers
i will admit it, and physicians in the
- field have frequently found men
s mere physical wrecks, with no ap
| parent organic trouble, who were
simple victims of what is scieiv
. tifically known as nostalgia.
. j . There is a scientific explanation
i for it as well as a sentimental, and
t in scores of cases the least senti
i mental people have suffered vitally
1 from a disease which no one could
' diagnose and which in fact was no
more than common homesickness,
such as children suffer when away
from the parental abode.
There is no organ in the body
which may not be affected as a di»
rect result of nostalgia. Indigestion
is the commonest symptom of all.
Blood disturbances give place to
apoplexy, and sudden death often
ensues. The brain is at a tension
and is swelled with blood, Borne,
times it takes the form of a raving
madness. ..
Soldiers who have acquired mys
terious, incurable diseases in the
service which seem to be killing
them by inches frequently recover
at once when taken into their home
country or into an environment
that is similar.
The worst feature is that the ail
ment feeds on itself. The sufferer
finds nothing more painful and yet
nothing sweeter than nursing his
own heart pangs, recalling tho
scenes of his fondest associations
and reveling in the tears and ago
nies of mind that come from such
reflection.
The disease is a physical one in
its manifestations, but there is only
one physical cure—return to tho
spot of attachment —Philadelphia

There are various kindii of graves

mounds of tho graves ol emperors
were thirty feet in height, those of

those of barons without territories

while for inferior officials and com

"My Old Friend Tom Moore."
On one occasion Disraeli turned
his early acquaintance with Tom
Moore to profitable account. For
some years One of the members for
Dublin was a Dr. Lyons, who was
very proud of his personal resem
blance to Ireland's poet. Once on
the eve of a critical division, when
every vote was wanted, Disraeli saw
Dr. Lyons approaching and imme
diately gave a look of startled as
tonishment. "You gave me guite
a shock. You looked so marvefous
lv like my old friend Tom Moore."
The dodge succeeded. The little
Dublin doctor, flattered and delight

Shameful Neglect
f
Norfolk-Virginian Pilot.
The brave men of the life-saving
1 service show as much heroism had
. undergo as runny hardships in
time of peace as the brave men
1 of the army and navy do in time
| of war.—Boston Globe,
t \ This is the simple statement of
j a simple fact. And yet the
- Government, while properly anS
in a substantial manner recognis
ing the one, absolutely and shame
t fully ignores the other. The
, men who patrol Uncle Sam's coasts
) in fair weather and foul, daily
1 jeopardizing health and constan
' tly risking life and limb in the
| public service and in the interest
of humanity, perform a service
t the value of which is above and
I beyond any estimation in dollars
■ and cents. Certainly they deserve
I such measure of consideration at
t the hands of 'the Goverment as
shall insure their old ago against
want and their widows and orph
ans against destitution, in tho
event they lose their lives in the
performance of duty. Tbedictates
of humanity and common jus
tic demand that much; the good
of the Service renders it imperative
that they be granted no less. Per
sistent refusal or neglect of Con
gress to provide a retirement and
pension system for members of
the Life-Saving Service can only
be accounted for by the
fact that tbe coast-guards
are too few in number to
constitute an appreciable factor in
politics, and they are not permit
ted to unionize. Otherwise it is a
foregone conclusion that this has
for years been denied to justice,
humanity and the good of the
Service itself would long ago have
yielded to political expediency.
The Jury's Sympathy.
Ktateirtlle Landmark.
A Staieaville man has for years
Insisted that If the wife, children,
mother and other female relatives
of defendants on murder trials are
allowed to sit by the prisnor dur
ing trial and enlist sympathy by
sorrowful countenances and tears,
then in all fairness the body of
the victim should be brought in
court and tho relatives of the
deceased permitted to make exhi
bition of their grief. The exponent
of this idea will be pleased to note
that it is gaining ground; at least
an attempt was made in that di
rection in a Mississippi court tbe
other day when the prosecuting
attorney had tho body of tho
dead man brought into court and
offered it as evidence. The judge
ruled the evidence out of court,
as might have been expected, but
who will contend that it isn't fair
to work the sympathy game' on
one side as the other. But it
always has been so, and probably
always w >ll be that a dog alive is
better than a lion dead. A de
praved, hardened wretch, worth
less as a citizen, a menace to the
community in which he lives,
may want only siay a valuable
citizen, and yet more sympathy
will be given him and more effort
made to save him a just punish
ment, than will be given the
family or depeudenta of the dead
man whose blood crieth from tho
ground. Weboastof civilization
In America, and yet with respect
to punishing crime especially
homlcide, we are about the most
uncivillzod of the civilisod people

Wholesale Slander.
Mt. Olive Tribune.
g In a lengthy editorial in last
d week's issue of the Clinton News
D Dispatch we find this very remark
n able and surprising statement:
g It seems that tho people are
getting meaner and we believe the
lf preachers are responsible for it,
e because they refuse to declare the
'"hole council of God,'they refuse
T _ to preach against vote stealingand
5 . ballot box stalling and many other
' ie mean things that the members of
l 8 their church are doing, they are
y moral cowards who prefer to re
x main silent on these things in
e order that they may receive the
lt 'thirty pieces of silver.'" It is
ie bad enough in this age of progress
d and enlightenment to advance
8 such a pessimistic view to tha
e effect"that the people are getting
t meaner," but to say that the
s preachers are wholly responsible
for such a condition is as contemp
tible as it is untrue, and there
0 is absolutely no grounds upon
B which to justify such an absurd j
B statement. Like other, "folks,"
• the preachers are subject to the
j "weakness of the flesh," but as a
3 class they are the leaders for civic
righteousness in every community.
We are minded to say that a man
who so deliberately and recklessly
slanders a class of men who are
known to be the "salt of the
earth, is himself sadly in need
°' that characteristic
whioh distinguishes these
men in every community in
which they "move and have their
being." But, then, we are told that
yon need not expect more of a hog
than a grunt.
