UNDER THE SURFACE
An Ir.cident That Brought Con
tent to s Dissatisfied Woman.
By ROY RICHARDSON.
"I'm sorry we're Invited," .observed
Mrs. Kdniomls to her husband as they
dressed to go out. "We shan't have n
pood time."
"Why?" her husband inquired. "I
always liked Xed."
"Yes." responded .Mrs. Kdniomls. "I
like them both. but. Will, try as hard j
as 1 may, they make me absurdly jeal
ous."
Mr. Kd mends grew serious. "The
old excuse, (J race. I thought you had
outgrown that had habit. We've got
so much that they can never have. !
There!" he cried, pinching her chock.
"Let's put It aside. We have each oth- ?
er. while you know they quarrel. We
must Have them here some evening
soon. You can sing while I juggle the
dialing dish Xed Constable never
could make a decent rabbit. His wife
won't let him learn how."
Mrs. Kdniomls sighed even at her '
husband's picture of a pleasant even- i
Ing at home. "I shall depend upon
you." she said as they rang the Con
stable doorbell, "t<> keep me contented
tonight. Will."
If was quite an affair. Mr. and Mrs.
Constable, whatever they might be
when alone, were a charming host and i
hostess.
"IIow well they do It!" exclaimed
Mrs. Kdmonds to her husband as they
sal eating. Then, with a dangerous
tone In tier voice, she said, "I wish,
oh, so much, that you and I"?
"There, there." Kdniomls broke in
gently. "We're not going to speak of
that, dearie. Ity Jove!" he ejaculated
suddenly. "1 do believe there's old
Tom Goodwin over there all by him
self. You remember Tom, don't you,
Grace? the fellow who was too poor
to come to i'iir wedding and who said
he was sending forks instead of buy
ing a railroad ticket? I haven't seen ,
him for months, lie writes things, 1 I
believe. Yon must meet him. good old i
chap."
??!><> you kiinw," tioodwiu remarked
a few moments later, seating himself
beside his new found friends, "I al
ways promised myself the pleasure of
Electing Mrs. Kdmonds. And now,"
ar.d his genial beamed with wood
nature, "I see how true it is that un
expected pleasures are the keenest
Kunny thins. Mrs. Kdmonds, but I
didn't want to come here at all."
At this Kdmonds smiled at his wife.
"Neither did we. Now wo are clad
wc did." he said. "Hut. Toiu, why
haven't you called? You might have
foutkl us before this in the directory."
"Oh. yt:s." Tum rejoined. "l>ut you're
such dreadful swells I didn't dare.
You see." he explained while Mrs. Kd
monds tried to tell him how modest j
they really were. "I'm just beginning. J
When you Just begin people don't like j
you, and mostly you don't take to |
them, and sn J have thought it best to
keep away by myself until 1 had done ,
something worth while."
Ooodwln made himself very agree- .
able, and Mrs Edmonds liked him. /
Iler husband got deep in debate with j
a business acquaintance, and the two j
men presently drifted to the other side |
of the room, so when She music began
*:i the conscr atory Coojvin took Mrs.
Kdmonds upstairs.
"it's awfully good of you, you |
know." lie said to her as they seated j
themselves next a dense inasn of palms
in the ballroom. "not to *nsist on
dam ins, but to talk t?> me. You're so !
cheerful avd >-eom sn contented. Will :
Is a fortunate' man, Mrs. Edmonds.'^
"How odd! I was discontented and
bluo when I came here tonight," she
said, "all because I was? well, I was
covetous."
Tom laughed.
"We all get that way at times, I
fancy," he remarked. "Look at those
De Puysters standing over there, the
richest people here. You wouldn't be
lieve It, but they are ridiculously Jeal
ous of the Four Hundred. How the
Four Hundred fare we never know,
but the De Fuysters ape them as far
ae they can, while some of us are silly
enough to ape the I>e Puysters. I am
glad you are not one of those."
Before Mrs. Edmonds could confess
that Indeed she was one of them there
came to her ear from behind the palms
by which they sat the sound of voices.
They both recognized the tones of
their host and hostess. It was an
awkward position, but they could not
have escajKHl l>elng seen from over
the palms.
Constable was evidently remonstrat
ing with his wife. "You can't mean to
pretend," he was saying, "to be keep
ing pace with the De Puysters. One
would think you were, to see us to
night. I tell you, Auue, I can't afford
It, and that's Hat."
"That's what you're always saying?
'can't afford this; can't pay for that!'"
cried Mrs. Constable, with considera
ble beat. "Why don't you go into
bankrutpcy and tie done with it? You
never used to complain."
"We would look well bankrupt,
wouldn't we?" her spouse cut In. "I
never used to complain, as you say,
fiecause 1 was getting rich fast then.
It Is changed now, and I'm often
pinched for money to the verge of
desperation. I've told you so. Anno.
While I've no objection to your en
tertaining and having a good time,
there's a limit to our means, you know,
and where the devil the money for this
Is coming from I don't see."
"You never told me!" cried Mrs. Con
stable. "You merely said you were
worried. And I'll tell you right now,
Ned Constable, I do Intend keeping
jace with the De Puysters and flatter
myself I have done so."
"lie stuck me on change for $12,000
last week," muttered Constable. "You
may be able to keep tip the pace; but,
by thunder, I can't at that figure,
Anne!"
There was a pause, men ue nam
pacilkally: "You ro at it wrong, and.
as your husband. I must correct you.
Look at Will Edmouds and his wife.
They are poor, as the world takes sueh
people, but they are richer and hap
pier than we are."
"Yes," exclaimed Mrs. Constable,
"and live in a little place where you
can hardly turn around and where you
meet starved musicians, Impecunious
actors or authors who hope to startle
the world soiue day. Perhaps you
would like to chance places with
them."
"I may have to." Constable murmur
ed. "before it Is all over. Come. Anne;
the people are groins. We must get
downstairs."
Goodwin and Mrs. Edmonds arose,
lie serious, she trembling.
"Tell me." he asked her, "should we
have gone away?"
"Yes and no," she answered. "We
couldn't without their knowing." Then,
putting her hand In his as they came
to Mr. Edmonds, she observed serious
ly: "A little while ago 1 was Jealous
of them, Mr. Goodwin. Now I am
not. and my little place where you can
hardly turn around seems sweet and
good to me. Come and see us In It.
We will welcome you. and you may
get an idea how nice humility Is.
Good night. I thank you for being
here."
? ??????
As Grace and Will stood again In
their own house later that night she
said to lifni ns she hissed hliu, with
tears in her e.vcs: "I thnnk the Lord,
Will, dearest, for our little place where
some people can hardly turn around.
Shut your eyes, Will, and say It after
me: 'Bless our little place where you
can hardly turn around. Amen!'"
Eccentric Henry Cavendish.
Whenever Henry Cavendish enter
tained his guests he would always give
them the same fare? a leg of mutton.
A story goes that one day when four
friends were coining It was asked hi in
what should be ordered for dinner.
He answered, "A leg of mutton."
"Sir," was the reply, "that will not he
enough for live." "Well, then, get
two," said the host. When this gentle
man died he was the largest holder of
bank stock In England. lie owned
?1,157,000 In different public funds, be
sides freehold property of ?8.000 a year
and a balance of ?50,000 on account.
This large income was allowed to ac- i
cumulate without attention. On one I
occasion, When the bankers had In
hand a balance of ?80,(>00, they
thought It well to acquaint Mr. Cav
endish with the fact.
"If It Is any trouble to you I will j
take It out of your hands. Do not come
here to plague me." "Not the least
trouble to us, sir, but we thought you
might like some of It to be Invested."
"Well, what do you want to do?" "Per
haps you would like half of It invest- |
ed?" "Do so, do so, and do not come j
here to bother me or I'll remove It," j
was the churlish finale of the Inter- |
view. Cavendish was seventy-eight
years of age when he died In 1810,
and he had never changed the fashion
of his dress for sixty years.? London

WHAT THE KIDNEYS" DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us '
Strong and Healthy.
All the blood la tho body passu
through the kidneys one? overy thro
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood ?
They work nigt and day. When
healthy they remove about 000 grains J
of Impure matter daily, when un- 1
healthy some part of this impure mat
ttr is left In the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms ?
pain in tho back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gout,
gravel, disorders of tho eyesight and
hearing, dizzlnoes Irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But If you keep the
filters right you will havo no trouble
with your kidneys.
W. A. Hawkins, 669 Yesler Way,
Seattle, Wash., says: "It gives me
pleasure to confirm tho statement 1
gave for publication somo years ago !
in favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as
the relief I obtained from their use
has proven permanent I suffered
from an acute attack of kidney trou
ble and though I used remedy after
remedy, I was unable to find relief.
I had tho most severe pains across
tho small of my back and was also
annoyed by irregular passages of the
kidney secretions. Doan's Kidney
Fills helped mo at once and continue
use entirely relieved me. I am a
great advocate of Doan's Kidney Pills
and have recommended them on
many occasions."

THE SOLDIER'S BURDEN.
Uncle Sam to Attempt to Reduce the
Too Heavy Load.
For yours InMntry officers liavo been
carrying on niu<-h discussion concern- j
ing tlic weight which should he car
ried in the personal equipment of the
foot soldiers In the Held. That weight
has gradually increased until it is now
nbout 40 per cent of the weight of the
man who carries It, and of this weight
nearly flfty pounds are represented by
arms and aceouterments, with twelve
or thirteen pounds additional In the
way of clothing. All sorts of sugges
tions have been made in the hope that
some way of reducing the burden
might be found. The experts agree
that the soldier's load should be re
duced to the ritle, ammunition, can
teen, one lightweight blanket, rations
for three days and perhaps a light
rainproof shelter. It is maintained
that the remainder of the kit should
be carried In the wagons and dis
tributed to the men as they need it.
If that can be accomplished the sol
dier will be In a position to cover more
.ground. It Is the mobility of infantry
which makes for Its fighting efficiency.
The war department has arranged for
some elaborate experiments and a
thorough investigation of the subject,
to be conducted at the Rock Island
(111.) arsenal, where the plant will be
placed at the disposal of a special J
board of Infantry officers of various [
grades. If the board should desire
some equipment manufactured for Its
examination the plant at Rock Island
will be placed at Its disposal. In ad
dition the war department has arrang
ed to se*d to Rock Island a battalion
of infantry, sv that various samples of
equipment may be practically tested
under war conditions. The board will
probably be in session several months,
as the subject cannot be easily dis
posed of. It is probable that a similar
board will be detailed later with a
view to ? establishing the personal
equipment of the cavalrymen and the
enlisted men of the field artillery.?
