THEY GREW OLD APART
By MERIAM B. BECKWITH.
(Copyright, 1!09, by American Press Asso
ciation.]
"Hurry, dour," Said the young wife
ou her deathbed, "wlieu I uiu goue
forget tue. Seek some one to till the
place I leave vacant. Don't delay.
Never tulud If the world says. 'This
man has uo sooner burled ouc wife
than he begins looking for another.'
I know what Is best for you. The
louger you put It off (he less you will
desire It, mid 1 don't wish you to be
come again used to bachelor habits."
"The place you will leave vacant will
remain vacant."
"I have given you my wish; I cau't
argue with you, and 1 can't remain
with you to lniluence you, though, if
possible, 1 will do so from the other
existence. One word more. If you de
Iny and become a middle aged or an
old man before marrying again choose
a young woman who will bear you
children to love you and for you to
love. When you think of me picture
me watching over you trying to lead
you In the path that I know will alone
bring you happiness."
When all was over and he began
the life without her these words came
back to him, and ho was wonder
stricken that they should have boon .
spoken by a woman, and that woman
his own wife. "But the realization of
her wish is Impossible," ho reasoned,
"because 1 shall never find the woman
who cau fill the place she has left va
cant, and If 1 could find one who could
fill it I would not wish It fllled."
On this account and from preference
he hugged her memory and ignored
her wishes. Shortly before her death
and while she was iu the tlush of
health her portrait had been palutod.
This portrait he took from the wall
where It hung and placed it over Ills
desk in his study, lie was a literary
tnan, aud his work was Influenced by
the woman whose mental and moral
strength and virtues were memorized
In the portrait.
| A year passed, and he still loved? a
memory. Was It love or the memory
[ of a love? He never asked himself
the question. He did not doubt that
it was love. It might not occupy his
mind, he admitted, as much as at first.
I but this is true of one we love who has
been gone a long while. Those who
are absent do not occupy our thoughts
as If they wore present, but on their
| return we find them as dear to us as
] ever. At times he would remember
I her earnest look wheu she had made
I her last strange request and would
I experience a momentary troubled re
! gret that he could not accede to It.
| Then he would recall the reason and
would bo satbfled.
One day five years after her death
he stood looking at her picture. It
seemed to him that there was a more
mature look about It than he had be- |
fore noticed. The Hps did not appear
so red. the eyes not quite so bright.
Then a sudden pleasing thought struck
him. He was growing older, aud some
unexplained mental or. rather, soul con
struction within him was enabling him
to see her growing older with him. '
Whence It sprung or what power had
planted It he cared not. It was there
They would grow old together.
Another period passed, and he no
ticed a greater change. The cheek
seemed to have lost some of Its round
ness. The uostril was thinner. There
were faint whitish pencil streaks on
the hair that might be the effect of
light on the canvas or a beginning of ?
white hair. There were lines about
the eyes and on the neck. Two feel- !
lngs within him contended for mas
tery?a pleasure that he was uot leav
ing her In youth behind hliu and a
distress that her beauty was fading.
These mingled feelings did not leave
him. lie thought the distress that she
should change was unnatural. Docs a
husband regret to see the wife he loves
grow plain? Does she. Indeed, grow
plain to him? The latter question set
him off on another course of thought.
Supposing a man loses a wife of twen
ty. At forty or fifty she comes back
to him. Is love the same as if she
had growu old beside him? He could
not make up his miud that It would be.
From this time be noticed a change
In his feelings toward the picture. It
was not the same to him. In vain he
tried to get used to this singular trans
formation In It. which he attributed to
some mystical soul effect. He felt that
It and he were diverging, lustead of
growing old together they were grow
ing old ou different Hues. Then it be
gan to be repulsive to him.
He was struggling with a desire to
remove it when one morning a girl
of twenty stumbled iuto his study.
Her cheeks were ruddy enough with
out the blush that spread itself from
her forehead to her dimpled chin. A
startled look was In her eye. followed
quickly by an embarrassed smile that
parted her lips, showing her white
teeth. Then hurriedly withdrawing,
she shut the door.
From this vision of youthful loveli
ness he turned to the picture, it was
a portrait of one the same age as the
girl who had entered and withdrawn.
Once It had so appeared ;o him. Now
It was the likeness of a middle aged
woman. He did not stop to wonder,
as he had often doue before, why this
was so. He went out aud followed the
receding girl.
After he had married her he put the
picture of his flrst wife away. To oth
ers it is the portrait of a young wom
an. To him he knows not what it is,
for he never looks at It. He believes
the soul effect he had experienced was
sent by his wife to bend him to her
request.
WIRELESS.
By MARTIN ANDREWS.
{Copyright. 1500, by American Press Asso
ciation.]
Tills Is an age of rationalism. Ev
ery day we are more Inclined to con
demn superstition and certain frauds
by which It Is supported. But while
we are losing faith In the miraculous
there is a growing disposition to ex
plain wonders scieutlilcally.
1 am especially subject to thought
transference, ami so Is my wife.
Wbeu together a thought no sooner
enters the head of one of us than the
other gives expression to It. 1 am a
scieutltlc man and expect the time to
come' when one will be able to detect
the subtle cause or means of this com
munication.
Some years ago I weut as scientist
on an exploring expedition. We were ?
obliged to enter Into an ocean that was j
theu comparatively unknown. Our
maps were the best that could be ob- ;
tained, but had not received the same J
attention as other districts. Besides,
convulsions beneath the sea are con- I
stantly occurring to change the coti- '
ditions.
We were sailing uorthward, within j
a hundred miles of a coast running '
northeast and southwest. It was near
midnight. I was sound asleep In my '
berth. Suddenly 1 awoke. What oc- i
curred during this awakening I am
not going to attempt to explain except ,
negatively. It was not a dream. It |
was not a vision. I heard nothing. I
saw nothing. It was rather a con
sciousness. In that lnllnitcslmal bit of 1
time, during which I passed from a
sound sleep to a ?vide awake condi- !
tlon, my wife, who was several thou- !
sand miles distant from me, was ges
ticulating wildly, convulsed with ter
ror, pointing and crying, "Keep ofT!" j
As I have said, 1 received this as a
brain impression. The moment I was
awake it was gone. There were the ,
usual roll of the ship and creaking of j
timbers, and I looked out of the port- !
hole. The night was starlight, and '
there was but a fair wind. Novcrthe- 1
less what had occurred had Impressed
me thoroughly with a sense of danger. 1
I arose, put on my clothes and went i
on deck. The otllcer In charge, John I
Jacobson. was pacing the after deck.
There was no land In sight, nothing j
but a broad expanse of ocean.
"What Is it?" asked the ollicer as 1
joined him.
"Why do you ask the question V"
"Why? You wouldn't be coming up
here at this time of night for nothing.
Besides, you look as If you'd seen a
ghost."
"John," I replied, "will you do some
thing for me without a reason?"
"What is it?"
"That's shoreward out there, isn't
it?" I jK>luted westward.
"Yes."
"Put her off to northwest."
"Good Lord: What for?"
"It was to be without a reason."
"What will the old man do to me?" i
"I'll take the responsibility and stand !
between you and him. Come, John,
be quick! There's danger ahead!"
He seemed to catch an inspiration of
fear from uie and gave the necessary
orders. As the ship was rounding to j
her new course 1 went to the port
gunwale and looked over.
"Come here, quick!" 1 called to the
ollicer.
lie came and looked over the side
with me.
"What's that?" I asked.
"I see nothing," he replied.
"Not that whliish line out there?"
lie continued to peer and suddenly
cried under his breath. "Great heav
ens!" then gave the order to the helms
man to sheer off to starboard. lie saw.
as 1 did. a thin white line. It could
only be foam and could only come
from submerged rocks. It rau north
and south, broken here and there by
the dark water to reappear farther on.
We got only a glimpse of It, for our
change of course served to take us
away* from it. ? For a time we both
stood with bated breath, every mo
ment expecting a shock or to hear the
hold beneath us grating ou a reef.
Then I went below and called the cap
tain.
We saw no more evidences of the
sunken reef, but ou reaching the next
port learned that It had been recently
discovered by others. Its appearance
dated from the last earthquake on the
coast.
I made a uote of the day, hour and
minute, as near as the latter was pos
sible, that ray warning came to me,
and when some mouths later I return
ed to my wife 1 told her my story.
Without waiting to hear me through
she interrupted to tell me that while I
was away she had dreamed she saw
I our ship sailing toward a sunken reef.
She. tried to warn us off, but could not
do so. Iler terror awoke her. She
looked up the date and found it tallied
with my memorandum.
A reference of my warning to scien
tific causes may be weakened by its
decadence on a dream. Dreams arc
now believed to be simply mental ac
tivity of the dreamer. But why should
not that mental activity have expe
riences as well as when the mind Is
awake? And, if so, why could not what
was experienced be communicated? I
can conceive of my wife's communicat
ing Ivr experience to me through
thought transference as readily as I
can conceive of a message sent by
wireless telegraph to a vessel far out
at sea. This process may some day bo
, solved. How she gained a knowledge
of our danger Is a problem a solution
| of which must be more remote.
Bird's Milk.
"I fed liitu with bird's milk." This
curious expression was used by the
old sultau or Turkey, while n prisoner
on his way to Snlonlkl, with reference
to his brother Mohammed, his prede
cessor on the throne. Abdul Ilamld
was lamenting his own fate and tell
ing his captors how little he deserved
It and how kind he had beeu to his
brollier. "I fed him with bird's tnllk,"
he said, as If that were the greatest
kindness he could show. What Is
bird's milk? Not the Turkish equiva
lent of the milk of human kindness,
but a European brand of condensed
milk bearing on the can a picture of a
bird on a nest.
Enough For Him.
When the physician arrived at the
designated house he found that his pa
tient was a decrepit uegro, who sat up
In bed and Inquired:
"How much yo' charge, doctah?"
"Two dollars a visit, which Includes
my time, experience, advice and the
medicine."
"A poor old coon like me don't need
all dem extras, .lust gib me 10 cents'
wo'th o' you' co jgli med'clue, nnd dat's
enough fo' me.' ? Judee.

After reading the public statement

you must come to this conclusion:
A remedy which cured years ago,
which has kept the kidneys In good
health slncc, can be relied upon to
perform the same work in other eas
es. Read this:
R. C. Fonton, 3905 N. Cheyenne St.
Tacoma, Wash., says: "I gave a state
rnont for publication, telling of my ex
perience with Doans Kidney Pills som
years ago and I am now pleased to
confirm all 1 then said in their favor.
1 was afflicted with kidney trouble
and finally I became so bad off that
I was obliged to give up my work.
1 had dull, heavy pains through my
kidneys and on one occasion I was
confined to my bed for almost a
month. The unnatural condition of
the kidney secretions also plainly de
noted that my kidneys needed atten
tion. When I learned of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, I procured a box and be
gan their use. I felt great relief
from the first and before long my
trouble was entirely disposed of. 1
havo since had no return of kidney
complaint"
