C Coming to a Decision.
(Orlftnal.]
"I can't give you any answer today,
Charlie."
"You've been saying that for three
months."
"And I suppose I'll continue to sny It
till I make up my mind to"?
"Be married."
"Oh. no; I've decided upon that."
"You mean you haven't decided on
the man you will marry."
To this the only reply was a far
away, dreamy look.
"How many of us are there?"
"HOW disagreeable of you! You seem
to Intimate that there are a large num
ber, whereas there are only two."
"That simplifies It Immensely. 1 In
fer froin your putting me off rather
than refusing me thut I'm one of the
two. Now, how would It do to decide
between tbe two by tosslug a coin?"
Again that faraway look, then "Sup
pose you lose?"
"I shall have to bear my disappoint
ment like a niau."
A dissatisfied look passed over her
face. She was silent
"What's troubling you?"
"I was thinking of my own disap
pointment In case the colu 'fell the
wrong way."
"But I thought there was no wrong
way for you."
No reply.
"Does the other fellow possess an ad
vantage that has nothing to do with
lover'
"No."
"Then, If you can be happy with
either of us and can't decide lift ween
us, why would you not be satisfied with
the decision of a toss?"
"Why. because? how stupid of you?
the coin might decide tho wrong way."
It was his turn to pnusc. no was of
a scientific turn of mind nnd had a
fancy for paradoxes, but here was one
that baffled him.
"I have It." he said finally. "We'll
toss the colu. and If It falls the wrong
way you are to have the privilege of
deciding the right way."
She neither assented nor dissented,
and, taking a quarter from his pocket,
he said: "1 choose this eminently re
spectable head with a serious face, a
wreath and the motto, "In God We
Trust* I'm perfectly willing to trust
In God."
"You said that just us If you bad
no confidence whatever In me."
"You, not being able to choose be
tween two lovers, aro not to be relied
on by either. 1 having chosen heads,
there remains for my rival the spread
eagle with an olive branch In one
claw and a bundle of arrows In the
other, by which he means, 'If you
marry' me I'll love you; If you don't
I'll shoot you.' There's a rlbbou In his
mouth, which means, 'You shall al
ways be dressed up mighty fine,' or, In
other words, 'I'll give you everything
you want.' "
"That's Just what makes me hesl
tate. You coolly arrogate everything
to yourself. You choose the head and
the motto 'In God We Trust,' leaving
for? for the other? a spread eagle, as
you call It, with your own interpreta
tlon of the emblems."
"I'm going to put an end to your
hesitation. Up she goes!"
He flipped the coin, and as it came
down he put his hand over it
"Before you know who has won,"
he said, "I want to know If you intend
to abide by the decision."
"I suppose so? that Is"?
She got no further. He tried In vain
to get a more definite reply. At last
he took away his hand and showed
the coin? tails up.
"He has won," he said coolly, put
ting the piece In his pocket "Permit
me to congratulate you."
"On what?"
"On getting a spread eagle husband
who will love you when you aro good
and stick arrows Into you when you
are bad and clothe you with silks 01
satins."
Her eyes wandered all over the room,
lighting nowhere.
"Tell me plaluly," ho said, "without
beating around the bush, are you satis
fied or dissatisfied with the result of
the tosa?"
"I might not be satisfied If? that
Is"?
She paused and looked out of the
window. On her fair young brow were
the gentle corrugations of perplexity.
"Well?"
"You neons lo be satisfied."
"I* What has that to do with It?"
"If you had shown even a tiny bit ot
dissatisfaction"?
"You would have been satisfied?"
"You're always misinterpreting what
I say. I didn't mean that at all."
"Come; we're malting no headway
it was agreed that If the coin fell tho
wrong way you were to have the privi
lege of deciding the right way."
"But I told you at first, 1 can't de
clde, at least not Just now."
"Then I suppose we have spent all
this time for nothing. I'm worn ont
with trying to bring you to a decision.
I'm going away for a long while? a
year, two years, five If necessary? to
overcome tills infatuation for a girl
who doesn't know whether she wants
mo or doesn't want me or wants some
body else or*-'?
"There's ono chance for a decision,"
she Interrupted, "that you haven't
thought of."
"What's that?"
"You might toss again."
Ho sent the coin spinning high In the
air and wlthcnt waiting for It to come
down took her In his arms.
The next morning ber little brother
was munching candy. When asked
where he got. the money to buy It with
he said be had found a quarter under
the piano.
MABEL B. RICHARDSON.
BURIED HER VOICE
Why Pauline Lucca Never Sang After
., Hor Husband's Death.
Great stage artists die twice? the
first time, when tbey take leave of the
stage and set aside the harp; the sec
ond time, when, like ordinary mortals,
they go the way of all flesh? and who
knows but this last act Is not more
bearable, not less dreadful, than the
first, when, after all the blinding glory,
the shadowy curtain of oblivion de
scends? For Pauline Lucca this first
act was of long duration? nearly twen
ty years. She had time to outlive her
glory and to become acquainted with
the bad memory of mankind. Ilka
Horwlz-Barnay tells this story In con
nection wltb a visit which she made
to the Lucca home In Vienna: "1 ask
ed, 'Do you ever sing? "No! No'
Never!' she almost shouted. '1 never
sing, for ! lost u>y voice, lost It sud
deuly, by suggestion, through the will
of another.' After In-lng urged to ex
plain she exacted n promise of seeree.v
'until she was no more' und said:
'You know, my husbaud. the Baron
von Wailhofen, was sick for a Ioiik
time and heard little singing When
I did sing for him It had to be au old
song ' which 1 disliked, but be was
fond of It because of Its words. One
evening we had a few friends here
He was feellug somewhat better and
hud his "chair wheeled luto the draw
ing room. To please him 1 sang his
favorite song, lie wept with pleasure
Then he took my two hands and
caressed them, stroked my hair and
my faco nnd whispered to me: "Thank
you! Thank you! You are an angel!"
And, still caressing me, be said, "So 1
shall take your voice with me to the
graveP' I laughed and said, "You
will outlive my voice and me." But
he repeated. "1 shall take yoor voice
with me to the gravel" Two days
later the baron died, and I was never
able after his death to slug a note.'

BASEBALL UMPIRES.
Kicking on Their Decisions la at 014
as the Cr.rre.
Much has been suld and written
about the habit that ball players have,
and apparently cannot break them
selves of entirely, of disputing deci
sions of the umpire. The practice dates
back for many years. As far back as
1800 In an account of a game between 1
the famous Atlautics of Brooklyn and
the Excelsiors there appeared the fol- {
lowing:
"We hope to see the boys' play of dis
puting over the decision of umpires en
tirely done away with."
Many years have passed since that
was written, and the players still dis
pute what in somo quarters It Is ar
gued should he the sacred decisions of
the Judges of play. Nowadays the best
umpires In the game make allowance
for the Mate of uilnd a player Is In
while engaged in a close contest
The following extract Is from a New
York paper printed In 1807:
"Kelly says that Peck's dummy has
created quite an excitement on Ann
street. Dressed In a full baseball rig.
he looks quite natty. Scofleld of the
Haymakers did think about bringing
the flRure over to tho Union grounds
to act as umpire In the llaymakers
Eckford game yesterday, but a young
man named Monell was found who an
swered nearly as well."? New York
Tribune.
By Terrible Eczema ? Head Became
a Mass of Itching Rash and Sores
?Would Scratch Till Blood Came
?Much Money Wasted in Fruitless
Treatments? Disease Was Soon
CURED AT SLIGHT COST
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES
"Our little girl was two months old
when she got a rash on her face and
within five days her face and head were
all one sore. We used different reme
dies but it got worse- instead of better
and wo thought she would turn blind
and that her ears would fall off. She
suffered terribly, and would scratch
until the blood came. At night we
had to pin her hands down. This
went on until she was five months old, |
then I had her under our family doo- I
tor's care, but she continued to grow |
worse. He said it was eczema. When
she was seven months old I started to
use Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment,
and Cuticura Resolvent, and in three
weeks ? what a change! I kept using
the Cuticura Remedies for two months
and our baby was a different girl. You
could not see a sign of a sore and she
was as fair as a new-born baby, and all
for the small ooatof a dollar and seventy
five cents where we had spent ten
times the money for doctoring. She
is now two years old and has not had a
sign of the eczema since. Mrs. H. P.
Budke, R. F. D. 4, LeSueur, Minn.,
Apr. 15 and May 2. 1907."
SLEEP KILLED
By an Itching Humor. Another
Cure by Cuticura Remedies.
"I broke out with a humor which
spread almost all over my body. The
itching would got worso on retiring,
so I could not sleep. I tried several
remedies but it grow worse until I got
some Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Pills
which began to relievo me at once. By
the time 1 had used one vial of the Pills,
the humor was entirely gone. I wish
every sufferer could secure the Cuti
cura Remodies. Travis Batea, Hamburg,
Ark., April 26, 1007."
