Now is the accepted time to have
your eyes examined by a speacialist

that will give them a vision that is per
fect. The baseball season is about to
be with us again and every good citizen
will want to get onto the curves of the
knights of the diamond. That will be
impossible if the eyesight is not per
fect. And then, the spring Is the
season of the year when repairs are in
order, when everything should be put
in first-class condition for active work.
We examine eyes free of charge; we

Consolation
o- ?
[Orlflutj
"There's eru{>e ou the Chlttendans'
door," said Mrs. Cressler. "Chauncey
has passed away. Poor Chauncey
to have beeu obliged to endure that
woman for so loug! It's a wonder he
lived as long as he did. Well. I sup
pose 1 must go over and offer the usual
consolatiou."
Now, there was not only a want of
reason for Mrs. Cressler's going over
to offer the "usual consolation," liut
there was a superfluity of reason why
she should not do <o. Mrs. Cressler
had herself been .Mrs. Chittenden and
by good rights should have been the
widow. But she had tired of Chittou
den. scut hliu off and secured a divorce
on the ground of desertion. On the
dav the divorce was granted she had
married Tim Cressler. Chittenden,
who had been forced to desert one wo
man. clung to another and married her.
Cressler was still living with Chitten
den's tlrst wife, but report said that
he was very abusive, the reports ema-.
uating from his wife, and if he did not
mend his ways he. too. would be forced
to desert her. Mrs. Cressler's Inten
tiou was to offer Mrs. Chittenden that
klud of consolation which Satan would
give a soul he had purchased? that is,
he would thrust It Into hell.
"Good morning, Mrs. Chittenden. I
have thought considering what we
have both beeu to poor Chauncey, X
would come over and offer my sym
pathies. Notwithstanding his faults
ho was too good for most women.
"He was too good for me." said the
widow demurely, "but I supi?ose he
wasn't good enough for you, Mrs.
Cressler. or he wouldn't have left you.'
"I was glad when I saw that you aud
Chauncey were gettiug ou so well to
gether. There was too great a gap
between him aud me. Chauncey was
not a smart man."
"His tlrst wife was."
-It Isn't that I was very smart," said
| Mrs. Cressler modestly, "but Chauncey
was very dull, lie ueeded a wife of
very moderate Intellect.'
"You were fortunate in getting an
other husband the day you got your
divorce from the one that deserted
you." said Mrs. Chittcudeu. "Maybe
Instead of luck It was smartness."
-I didn't want p ><>r Chauncey to suf
fer from thinking I d take h:ni back.
"It was very kind of you uot to make
him suffer any longer than he did."
"There wasn't any time? if I hadn't
beeu married? that he wouldn't have
been glad to return to his sufferings."
"Theu it must have been lucky for
him that you were married."
"We'd see about that some day, only
! m heaven there's no marrying or giv
ing in marriage."
? now is it in the other place? Do
you think you're goiug to have him
there?"
"I'm not going there. Mrs. Chitten
den. u>r is Chauncey. If there's mar
rying there vou'1' have to look out fot
a new husband."
??You'd have both Chauncey and Tl*
Cressler in heaven, only there s no
more bigamy there than marriage.
Mrs. Cressler was not getting aheafl
In the game. Her thrusts were vigor*
ous. but they were parried with great
skill. There was one thing she hai
cotue over for that thus far she had uoi
gained? a knowledge of what funds
Chittendeu had left his widow. Sh*
ha. I a vague hope that the law might
look kindly upon her and consider hei
a fraction of that widow.
; "i hope Chauncey left you comfori
I able, Mrs. Chittenden." she said in <
I tone to intimate that she would like to
uet back to her purpose of offering coa
solution.
"It's you he's left comfortable," re
plied the other, "because he was notu
ing to you. lie left me uncomfortable
because we were everything to each
other."
"They say you made a frugal wife
and he left a penny or so in the bank."
"He did, and to his widow."
"There's alimony due me."
"I hope yon may get It."
"If it's due the law '11 allow It."
"Yes. if it's due. You got your dl
force at noon and married at I o'clock
There's allmouv for one hour due you.
"I supi*ose it wouldn t look well for
i ue to come to the funeral.
"Chauncey 's funeral, so far as his
flrst wife is concerned, occurred long
Tof course I'd like to show my kind
ly sympathy for you. The neighbors
might think it queer of me to be here,
but It would show them that I'm not
malicious." ..
"Ob, they know yon naven i any
Kmdge against me. Why should you
have? It was I who made it easy for
you. Chauncey was well enough satis
fled wltli the desertion plan aftyr he
met me."
"H'm: Hey all know that 1 wouldn't
ttand him any longer."
"He told me he was afraid you
*ould."
"I'd have Just liked to hear him say
that in the flesh."
There was a step In the back room
Hie room where Mrs. Cressler supposed
the corpse was lying? a man's step,
?nd who should walk into the room but
Chauncey Chittenden.
"La's a-merey!" exclaimed Mrs. Cress
ler. "I thought you were dead!"
"That's the fellow In the other flat"
"What have you been lying to me
*or this way. Mary Chlttendeu?"
"1 haven't been lying."
"And you. Chauncey Chittenden? I al
ways thought you were above eaves
dropping."
"A corpse can't eavesdrop. I am onlj
a corpse so far as you are concerned. 1
heard what you thought of me alive
I long ago. I'm glad to hear what yon
think of uie dead."
Mrs. Cressler flounced out.

?| What Wa.s the Natter
| With Colonel Prim ?'?
T-M-H-I-K-l-H-H-I-l-X 1 I ?1"I"!-.1-!"' '
[Original.)
Why Colonel Prim opposed Captain
Plumer In bis suit for the hand of tho
colonel's daughter Marian no one In
the garrison could find out Before the
captnln evinced such aspirations his
commander showed an especial par
tiality for the ,voyng officer, who was
the most populaf man at the po9t
The change can only be accounted for
in that distaste of a father to giving
up his daughter to nny man.
The colonel curried his antagonism ,
against the captain so far as to keep
his eye open for derelictions of duty
on the part of his Inferior. Did the
captain when called upon to report In
[>erson at his commander's headquar
ters do so with a single button on his
uniform coat unbuttoned he was sure
to recelvo a snarled reproof. Was
there a speck of dirt on any of the
men composing the captain's com
pany on parade the colouel declared
the whole company a disgrace to the
Berrlce. Plumer soon saw the neces
sity of constant watchfulness, but he
was very absentinluded, and no cnre
was sufficient to head off the colonel's
reprimands. The wholo garrison was
cognizant of this injustice, and, since
all the world loves a lover, every one
sympathized with the captain.
One morning when Plumer was offi
cer of the day. Colonel Prim, looking
out of the window of his quarters, saw
him crossing the parade without his
sword. Raising tho sash, he ordered
his subordinate to como up. Fortu
nately for the captain, an officer was
passing, and Plumer, borrowing hts
sword, hooked it to his belt, then
mounted to his colonel, whom he sa
luted respectfully.
"Captain," growled Prim, "why In"?
He stopped short, his eyes fixed upon
the sworn.
"Captain," he continued In a more
subdued tone. "I didn't like the ap
pearance of the men at guard mount
tug this morning. Tell the sergeant
that if he marches n guard on again
without every man's boots being black
ed I'll break him.
"Yes. colonel. I didu't seo you at
guard mount."
"I wasn't there, sir, but? 1 saw them
from my window."
This was said, shamefacedly, for the
guards' hacks were turned to the colo
nel'? quarters.
The same afternoon the colonel again
aaw the captain from his window pass
ing over the parade and again without
his sword. He called the delinquent
officer to come up. Before his arrival
Marian came Into the room,
"Sis." snapped her father^ "do you
see Captain riuraer coming?"
"Yes, papa."
"Has he n sword?".
The girl was nbout to say no when
ehe remembered that for her lover to
be without a sword while on duty
would lie a delinquency and would In
cur a reprimand. Thou she wondered
why her father asked such a question.
The res lilt was prevarication. She
looked up In felgued surprise.
"What's the matter with your eyes,
papa?"
The colonel sank Into a chair. "I
knew It. It Isn't my eyes." he moaD
ed. "I've had queer feelings In my
head lately. Something's going wrong
In my brain. I saw Humer awhll#
ego crossing the parade. I thought ho
tadn't a sword and called him up here.
He had his sword. Now I see Ulm
again, and he hasn't. But he's coming
ap. Not a word of this."
There was n knock at the door, and
the captain entered. A sword? borrow
ed again? hung from his belt.
"Captain." said his commander, "you
a?uy? I called you up to say? that
there will be no dress parade this even
ing."
As soon ns riumer had gone the colo
nel turned to his daughter and In a
faint voice said:
"Call my orderly. Sis, and send him
for Todd."
Todd was the post surgeon, and Miss
Prim, Instead of calling tbe orderly,
went to Surgeon Todd's quarters nnd
told him the story about her father's
sudden symptom.
"Ix>ave him to me," said doctor,
and, first completing his uniform so as.
to be presentable to his colonel, he
went to the latter's quarters.
"Todd," said Prim lugubriously, "I'm
gtiing down hill fast." aud he told the
doctor all the symptoms he had and
more besides.
"Colonel," said the surgeon after
asking a multitude of questions, "In
case tills should turn out as I fear,
would you leave your family In com
fortable circumstances?"
"You don't mean It?" gasped Prim.
"Is It as bad as that?"
"It would bo no harm to put youi
house In order."
"I haven't a cent in the world; pay
accounts dlscouuted."
"It's a pity Marian hasn't married."
"Marry that ptippy Plumer! She shall
starve first."
But the doctor was an old friend of
the colonel's and knew his foibles. The
result of the interview was that the
colouel was ordered to depart the next
morning on surgeon's certificate for
rest and change of air, and the news
of Marian Prim's engagement to Cap
tain riumer was promulgated by Mrs.
Todd as soon as her hnsband rejoined
her after leaving his patient.
Before the colonel's departure Sur
geon Todd, It being too late for Prim
to recall his consent to his daughter's
wedding, told him that he need give
himself 110 uneasiness as to his condi
tion, for rest and change would doubt
less bring him back a well man. In
deed, he returned for the wedding
greatly benefited. And now? well, now
he swears by his son-in-law.
