'Tired," yawned Boyd Leslie, pre- i
rription clerk ror Uavia & t'o "I'm I
dead for the want of sleep The end j

There was a tinge of relief In Ilia !

door, when the kuob was turned and

shouted lustily:
"1 must get in. doctor says 1 must

paper whleh Boyd recognized as a pre
scrlptlon. Ho let the boy in. Mid-
night weariness made him sway, the '
lights were poor, he almost nodded !
putting up the prescription. It was
"For Mr Lewis," a heart tonic, Boyd
noted that He was so done out, that as
he gave the waiting boy the bottle
be left the last phial he had used in
filling the prescription upon the case 1
counter. Then, without even undress- j
lug, he Hung himself on the lounge i
Just behind the case and was plunged 1
tn sudden slumber Immediately.
Long hours, Irregular meals, lack of J
air and exercise were fast undermin-
Ing a splendid constitution. There j
was no nine hour rule at the Davis I
establishment.
"t'-uni! lust about half slept out,"
yawned Boyd at daylight, rousing up
at the call of an alarm clock, unre
freehed for another day of hard work.
"Well, if I can stand it out I'll soon
have enough to start a course at the
medical college."
Boyd cooked his sparse breakfast on
a spirit stove. He tidied up and
ventilated the store and set at put
ting the disordered prescription desk
In order. As ho picked up a phial ly
ing upon It ho raised It slowly. A
shudder passed over his frame He
turned deadly white. He uttered a
great gasp. His horror-stricken eyes
were glued to the label on the bottle.
"The last I used last night tn mak
ing ii that prescription." he spoke
breathlessly, "and poison!'
How had he come to make the fatal
error? Ills dazed, tired eyes had read
"ascetina" for "arsenic." He had un
wittingly substituted for a harmless
alterative enough of the deadliest
poison known to materia medlca to kill
a dozen men.
Sick at heart, Boyd Leslie dropped
the futul phtal and sank to a chair,
overcome The deed was done, with
out any doubt! Oh, was there the
merest vestige of a hope that the pre
scription had not been used? Shak
ing from head to foot with unxlety
ami dread the young drug clerk hur
ried on hat and coat aud rushed from
the store.
Me knew w here the Lewis home was
located His heart beat like a trip
hammer us he turned into the street
upon which It fronted. It seemed to
halt with u shock as he saw on the
bell handle of the house a streamer
of crepe!
How he lived through that day,
Boyd Leslie could not realize. He
heard that the physician attending
Mr. Lewis had given a certificate of
death from natural causes First an
impulse came to his mind to confess
his mistake publlcli. Then dread of
cuiisetpieiices made ot him a coward.
The episode pusi.cd by. He was safe,
In the general acceptation of that
word But his mind was iu torment.
As to restitution nh, there he could
act! He had robbed the Lewis family
of a protector. He would take hit
place.
HU motives were never suspected
by Vero.i.i or her mother
As ihe weeks passed on however,
the inU irsi he tool: lu the children,

u small amount that emihled her to
renew a mortgage on the homestead,

lovable young girl
As ti Boyd, an angel witha darning
sword seemed to stand between htm
and the beautiful girl who hud won his
soul's devotiou
"I dare stay here no longer," he told
himself one day. "I will Hnd some

His heart silicic him the evening he
announced to the family the demands
of a fictitious position in another
state.
He saw no other way out ot bis dif
ficulty, however. They helped him pack
his effects, and during the process
Verona brought a small chest of odd!
and ends, to find for Boyd a blood
thermometer he had loaned her moth
er when she had a touch of fever.
It contained some papers of the
dead father, some phials of medicine,
a sealed bottle As bis eyes fell upon

sudden eagerness thnt fairly startled
Verona.
"This this is a prescription you bad
tilled the night before your father
died?" be uttered hoarsely.
"Yes. Poor dear father!" replied
Verona, sadly. "He died before broth
er got back from the drug store with
It."
'Innocent he never took It!" cried
Boyd Leslie, and then he fell to his
knees and prayed, the tears ot relief
and joy pouring down bis happy face.
"I need not go now," he told Verona
a little later, if you do not wish It."
Her little hand stole Into his shyly
but confiding those dear sweet lips

Ciiceiisboro Itecoiil.
It is dawning on the public thai
living in the country has all the
advantages of living in the city.
Wiih 'phones almost everywhere
one can talk with whom he pleases,
while our country cousins now
have the advantages of the public
library. They not only have the
privileges of the library in the city,
bui branches are being esiablished
in many places. Soon there will
be no excuse for growling about
the lonesomeness of ihe farm. The
same advantages obtain as in the
city, while in the country one can
raise what is needed to eat and
does not have to go to bed won
dering what he is going to have to
pay for butter and eggs the next
day, not to mention fried chicken,
which will break the ordinary man
in these days. The young man
can visit his best girl and come
away without smelling like sackei
powders. If the said young man
is all right, he is invited to supper
and comes home with his stomach
full of "chicken fixings," and if he
knows the ropes he can hold ihe
calf while the prospective mother-in-law
milks ihe cow. But pleas
aniries aside, life in ihe country is
the only life worth living.
MAN'S PART.
"Woman," says Dr. Anna
Shaw, "ever has been man's com
panion, sharing his exile, espous
ing his cause and buckling on his
armor." And man has ever been
woman's companion, sharing her
happiness, espousing her when
she would have him, and buttoning
her up the back.

BETTER LAUGH THAN SCOLD.
Wist Writer (lives Some Advice
That All Women Would Do
Well to Remember.
If he is suspicious don't take him
too seriously.
And why? Because, if you do,
(here is always a greai probability
that he will imagine that there is a
good foundation for his foolish
want of irusi.
A lover is inclined, perhaps na
turally, to be a trifle jealous of the
beloved one; but even this usually
harmless characteristic should not
be encouraged overmuch.
As for suspicion, it should never
raise its ugly head in ihe paradise
of love; if ii does, it will spoil every
thing and cast a gloom over what
should be undiluted happiness.
A wise girl will therefore always
try gently to laugh her sweetheart
out of such unpleasant fancies; of
course, she will be careful not to
give him reason to begin ihem, but
if they do unluckily crop up, ihen
she will do her utmost to banish
them.
Kindly laughter will often do
more to make a man see that he
has been foolish and wrong than
any amount of the best-inieniioned
scolding or reproaches.
The latter are apt to leave a sore
ness and resentment behind them,
whereas a good-natured laugh
leaves no sting of any sort.
The very fact of smiling over a
matter together makes a bond of
union and harmony.

BEHIND THE BARS.
The Sunday was a wet one
and she was allowed to accom
pany her parents to church. It
was her iirst experience of that
kind.
The minister was of the en
ergetic, pulpit-thuiiijniitf type,
and he preached from a ros
trum railed in, above the peo
ple. He excited hiinsidf this
day in the thumping tucties
and had worked himself up to
a pitch of excitement.
Esther was cowering close to
her mother's side, and when he
reached a point which he em
phasized more than all the oth
ers, she exclaimed in a fright
ened whisper:
''Ma ! What would we do if
he got out?" Pittsburg Dis
patch. TOAST TO LAl'tlHTER.
Here's to laughter, the sunshine
of the soul, the happiness of the
heart, the leaven of youth, the
privilege of purity, the echo of in
nocence, the treasures of the hum
ble, the wealth of ihe poor, the
bead of ihe cup of pleasure; it dis
pels dejection, banishes blues and
mangles melancholy; for the foe of
woe, ihe destroyer of depression,
the enemy of grief; it is what kings
envy peasanis, plutocrats envy the
poor, the guihy envy the innocent;
it's the sheen on the silver of
smiles, the ripple on the water's
delight; the glint of ihe gold of
gladness; without it humor would
be dumb, wit would wither, dim
ples would disappear and smiles
would shrivel, for it's a glow of a
clear conscience, the voice of a
pure soul, the birth of mirth, the
swan-song of sadness.
REWARD OF DISHONESTY.
"Once upon a time," began the
teacher, "twoliule brothers started
to Sunday school one Sunday
morning. Their way led past a
fine orchard, where the trees were
bending down with ripe, luscious
applies. One of ihe brothers pro
posed going into the orchard and
getting some fruit, but the oilier
refused and sped away, leaving
his companion greedily devouring
the apples.
"Now, it happened that the
owner of the orchard saw ihem,
and the next day rewarded the
good boy who refused to steal his
I apples by giving him a shilling.
He got a prize for his honesty, and
what do you suppose the other
' boy got for his dishonesty ?"
"He got the apples!" yelled
every member of the class. Ex
change. Doctors say that worry kills
more people than work probably
because more people worry than
work.
You can usually judge a man's
character by the value he places
on his wife's ability to earn bread
for the family.
