his savings to Russia to bring his J

desiring to give Petrof the same ad- 1

to arrive in a week, when one evening
a blizzard such as is not unusual lu
the west came up. During the uight
Mason heard footsteps in the store b?
low his twins, bur as his clerk slept
there thought nothing about it Iu the
morning Mason went to his cash draw

gone. The clerk was nowhere to he j

Ail that day the snow swirled, the j

stood at degree* below zero. It tm
impossible to go in search of the f'.i -i

"I've heard, si-, thai you're a great
haleluv.uy."
The scientist sun led.
"Is it astrolo 'ist voa i?re?" she has
tened to add jy \v..y oi correcting a
possible nil.
"I'm a chemist."
"Well. sir. I'm Molly Balne. a pocr
girl that dare. - for a iiviu". One o' the
girls has taUou niy ,-oun 3 man away
from me. and I thought you'd bs so
kind as to give cie a? s* love draft to
bring iilra back."
The scieutist smiled a;. aiu.
"He's a .rood young man Is Tommy."
the girl wont on. "and I'm not a bad
girl. Indeed I n uot. sir. tbou;:b they
say all dur.cinv ::irU is. Tommy's n

The great mm. whose d:*coveric
had made his ii:i::u? famous tliroa hou
the world, pondered, Presently he ro.-t
from his se.it. went oat and returnci
with a fistful of violets.
"My dear little sirl," he said. "tbe?<

your youir: ti.ui to put him agalu lit
your power. Bui I warn you that M
you tell him who gave; theiu to you tl.

The girl's face liglrcd with p'.easur"
"You don't n :rn it. sir? Is it in tbt

"Never mind where it is. Do as 1
tell you and y v.i will have your de

yon might 'ave made 11 m'st-.tko and
given me the. wror g spell, 'ave come ;
back for the right one."
The scientist pondered for awhile,
then said:
"Tell Tommy the flowers civen yo'j
contain an antidote for love."
The girl went out wondering, bnt
with full confidence In the chemist's
ability to do what he liked? that is. If
he didn't get the wrong potion mixed
up with the ritrht one.
The next morning the scientist re
ceived a third visit, this time not from
the dam-In,' girl. bt:t lrom Tommy.
"Please, sir. is It you as give ray
sweet he ? 1 hantidote for lovln' me?"'
"She told 11:0 you had cone off with j
another : il l "
"So I did. sir. but." looking down
and pie';:. 1 it his < ip that he held in
his hand, "when 1 see she'd got some
violets, so ' 'ii?ive r* only a swell
could af.ord "em. I. thinkln" I'd lost 'er.
wanted 'er."
"You mean you don't want what you
caa get and do waut what you can't
get."
"I suppose so. sir. I think, sir. If
you'd withdraw the spell from MolH- I
wouldn't shift again."
"Well, tomorrow morning you and
Molly come here together, and I'll see
what I can do for you."
"l>o you think you can 1:111 the hanti
dote?" the young man asked anxiously.
"That will depend somewhat oi
you."
Tli.'1 next tnorair.g the pair appeared, |
Moily much oomi'o-ted. her loer In
con .1 ".-able trepidation.
" Vipi is," said the great man stern
ly. "you have deserved to lose tills
c ?? >->t ' ule ? irl. The only antl lot;1 for
!ov ive her was your .suspicion of I
? man to take your place. Molly,,
you have always loved him, haven't j
you?"
"Yes. sir."
"Well, you can both go now. and,
Molly, if you tlad him straying away
again or ..otherwise 111 treating you
coil ? m me. and next time I'll give you
an antidote tint he won't get over so
easily."
Tbe only other gift the scientist be
stowed upon the couple was a wedding
present, a clieck accompanied by a bos
of cut flowers from his conservatory.
