HThe soul of the rose, with its last sweet breath,
Leaped forth to meet approaching death,
And gave to the breeze erery crimson flake;

WRONGFULLY ACCUSED.
IThe great dry goods store was crowded,
(for it was bargain day and many special
Biles had been advertised.
, A large, important looking woman,
richly dressed, bad managed by a liberal
Use ot her elbows to get in the front row
and attract the attention of a salesgirl,
who stood as if bewildered at the commo
tion around her,
"Here, clerk," 'she called loudly. "A
dozen of black, C2, and be quick about
it, too, aa I don't want to be crushed to
death by this vulgar crowd."
The girl addressed, a slender, pretty
blond, with aristocratic features, invol
untarily drew herself up and opened her
lips as if to reply to this rude speech, but
remembering where she was closed her
lips and tamed to select the gloves.
"Will you try on a pair?"
"Of course I will, and do be careful you
do not pinch my hand. You glove fitters
are bo clumsy." And drawing off her
glove the customer displayed a hand be
decked with glittering rings.
"I must ask you to remove your rings
or. I cannot properly fit you." And the
pretty clerk waited patiently until the
rings were ostentatiously removed and
laid in a shining heap on the counter,
-After several unnecessary orders the
gloves were fitted and done up and the
buyer began to put on her rings. As she
did 60 she gave a quick glance and cried
out loudly:
"You hove stolen one of my rings!" -
The proud, disdainful look which had
appeared on the young girl's face at the
accusation gave way to one of anxiety as
the woman londly reiterated her charge.
"Indeed, madam, I did not touch your
rjng.' You must have dropped it!" she
cried. Running around in front of the
counter, she began to search on the floor
lor' the missing bauble, and many stand
ing by helped in the search, bnt all in
Tain.
, . "You can't fool me!" declared the own
er in positive tones. "You took that ring,
and you've got to return it or pay for it
Xoa Just come along to the office wth me
and be searched." And, seizing the girl
by the hand, she almost dragged, her to
the office.
Two gentlemen, one the proprietor,
iwere in the ofBce when the two women
entered. "
"This girl has stolen a diamond ring
from me, Mr. Gilford," announced the
customer, relating- the cirenmstanees,
"and X want her searched."
"Impossible, Mrs.' Hardlos. ( I assure
yon that Miss ," began Mr. Gilford,
but stopped at a sign from his compan
ion.- - . . .. ':
. "May I ask, madam," said the gentle
man in a cold, clear voice, "if you are
sure you removed the ring and placed it
on the counter?. Could it not perhaps
have remained in the finger of the
glove?, v
The young clerk looked at the gentle
man' when be spoke for the" first time
since entering the office and turned very
pale, then red again, -so that to a suspi
cious mind she was the picture of guilt.
- "That:; is Impossible. Such a thing
never occurred." Mrs.. Hardlos exclaimed
angrily; but, taking up the glove she had
worn, she gave ah involuntary cry of sur
prise, (The ring had indeed stuck in the
glove finger and now sparkled maliciously
as its owner pulled it out. ' i 4
with nro found anoloiries Mrs. Hardlos
turned to the proprietor. tie quietly mo
tioned to the clerk to withdraw, but -the
gentleman ivbo was with him laid a re
straining hand on hor arm.
.'Do.soCgn." he sold, f'until yo have
given hisMlils person, an opportunity to
apnlfcrfz to vowiis' you n re the only in
Jured party." he said decidedly.
, "How dare, you, sir? Who are you that
you ( pmsnmo to 1 dictate to me?" Mrs.
Hardlos! hnt;jhtily exclaimed." . . '
, The stranger hnnded her his card, and
a marked: change of expression .was no
ticeable on; Mrs. Hardlos worldly fea-,
tures. The name on the card was that
ot a man' well known as a person'of great
wealth and Influence, one whose ae
quaintance? was agerfy sought by the
most select. Besides this, he was a bach
elor and considered a great "catch." A -
"Yon fire quite Tight.' Mr. Jameson, but
I will atone for my mistake. ; Here, my
good girl,' tike this, drawing out a $5
note ostentatiously.' "and call ns even.
If , this ;wn considerad an apology In
the eyes of Mrs. Uardlqs, ft did not pass
for such in 1 he eyes of her victim. With
a gesture as haughty as any f her for
mer accuser thepiri refosed the offered
money and. turning to the .proprietor,
asked if she might be' excused. (
With his permission she withdrew and
was followed by Mr. Jameson, who has
tily bade adieu to his friend and overtook
her at the door. He spoke to her in low
tones -for a moment, then raised his hat
and left her. The new clerk remained in
her place nntil her week was up, then re
signed her position. : . ',
About two months after the unfortu
nate affairof the ring Mrs. Haos re
ceived an invitation to a reception given
La hoDor of Mr. Jameson and his bride.1
Greatly pleased, she determined to at

She was enlightened a few moments
later when she mentioned the fact to her.
"Yes." replied the bride, "you are quite
right, Mrs. Hardlos: we have met before.
It was at Mr. Gilford's glove counter the
day.you accused me of stealing your ring.
Perhaps If you had known t. . I was
only there for a week in payment of a
foolish wager I had made with some
friends you might have acted differently.
But I hope you will remember, Mrs.
Hardlos, tbnt It is always safer and more
humane to be sure of a theft before you
accuse any one of being a thief. And re
member, too, that a salesgh. poor as she
may be. has feelings as well as you have

Then she politely turned her back upon

Long Distance Tickets) Wanted.
He was long, lean, lank and raw
boned, and he shambled up to the tick
et window at the TJnion passenger stn
tlon much after the fashion of a scared
canine when he approaches Ills master
to receive a well earned thrashing. He
got as far as the outside railing and
stood there with a bashful blush gaz
ing at the man behind the brass bars.
"Come in, come in. Make yourself at
home," was the encouraging welcome
from within, ne accepted the Invlta
tlon and brought up against the marble
ticket counter with more confidence In
his face.
"Say, thar," he said in a half vbisper
to Harry - Hansen, "is this the place
where you get tickets for the kyars?"
"Yes. Where do you want to go?
Hurry up; we're rushed."
"Well, sir," he replied, shifting a
square inch of plug tobacco from one
cheek to the other, "hev you all got
enny long distance tickets Inter Ken
tucky?'
His case was equaled by that of the
old lady -with the sunbonnet who said:
"I want a ticket to Platte county."
"What place in Platte county?" in
quired the ticket man.
"No place in Platte county. I want
to go to Platte county, and It's none of
your business where I'm going to visit
You sell me the ticket to-Platte county,
and I'll get there." St Joseph News.

MRS. CAKOIINH EVAK3.
It b t mistake to take any and every kind of medicine when you are
sick. There is danger in it Most of the so-called cures for "female
weakness" do nothing more than deaden the pain temporarily, and when
the effect wears away the patient b weaker and sicker than before. It is
never wise to take chances. You have only one life, and that is dear and
precious. If you have any pain, ache, disorder or weakness in the femi
nine organs, nothing will help you like Wine of CarduL It helps do
away with morning sickness dur'w the early stages of pregnancy, and
modifies the pains of childbirth; recovery is rapid and future health- is
assured, rue wine is purely veg
etable, being made Of herbs whose
medicinal properties act directly
upon the organs of womanhood.
It is a long-tried remedy, and has
many years of success behind it It
b sure. Why take a chance medicine when you can get a sure medicine?
