Theodore Josephson, .">15 Seventh

five years aco I used Doan's Kidney
Pills and derived great benefit. At
that time I was suffering from se
vere pains across my back and loins,
at times so severe that I was unable
to stoop or straighten. My kidneys
also bothered me a great deal, the se
cretions generally being too frequent
in passage. At last Doan's Kidney !
Bills were brought to my attention
and I procured a box. I used them
and as a result my health is now ex

feeling any sign of backache and they

Johnny liounce and I were school
mates and fiist friends. Johnny was
younger than I, but stronger. Every
boy who could lick iuo availed himself
of the opportunity Just for the fun of
It. Johnny could lick most of iheni
and. noticing that I needed a friend, lie
Kan to lick every boy that licked we.
This had a wholesome effect, and I
was soon let alone. Indeed, I am not
sure that 1 did not Impose on some of
tliein, knowing that a dread of John's
big list would deter thein from giving
nic a deservnl punishment.
When wo left school to go out Into
the world (we were pretty big boys
them I said to John liounce: "Johnny,
1 want you to understand that 1 owe
you a whole lot. If 1 ever get a chance
to make a stand off for what you've
done for me. I'll do It."
"Oh. you don't owe me anything,
Tom," he said. "Besides, I guess we'll
both get along pretty well."
I didn't see John after our parting
for years. Then one day a man came
into my o(H v of very forlorn appear
ance. I put my lingers in my pocket
to get out lo cents when I noticed the
fellow looking at me with a quizzical
expression.
"You don't know me, Tom?"
"No, 1 don't."
"I'm Johnny liounce."
My heart sank, for I knew that the
world had been too much for John.
However. 1 gave his hand a warm
grasp, asked him to sit down and tell
me what he had been doing. lie said
he hadn't had much success thus far,
but he had "Irons In the lire," some of
which lie thought would pail out very
big. 1 had heard of these "irons" be
fore In connection with men who had
lest their grip on the world and knew
that instead <>f irons they were gases.
Hit! I saw that John was sincere, so 1
did 'tot diseournge him.
"You can't run a thing like that.
John." I said, referring to one of Ids
schemes, "without being "grub staked.'
1 haven't any capital to put in, but I
wish you would let me lend you what
you need from time to time. I've got
$lo here In i iy- No? Don't need It?
Well, whenever you do conic right In
here ami get it."
I knew perfectly well that he needed
money, but couUl not bring himself to
take it from me. whose e<|unl he had
been in everything except an ability
to punch boys' heads, and in tills he
had been my superior. 1 was obliged
to let him go without affording him
relief, but I took his address, resolving
to find smnc indirect way of giving
him'inoney. lint I was very busy at
the time and put the matter off. Re
sides. I am not an Inventive genius and
failed to think of any method of lend
ing John I toil lice money without ap
pearing to give it.
One morning a woman came into my
otllce and said she had heard John
liounce. who hoarded with her. speak
of me. She vild that liounce owed her
ir> fur board, and s|)(. would like
me to tell her if he h.id any property
on which levy. I told her
that Mr. liounce was a perfectly hon
orable man. but was trying to carry
through certain seheines without sutU
clent capital. She left with a check
for the amount of her bill. A week
later I received a note from John re
gretting that the woman had thought
It necessary to adopt such strenuous
measured and assuring me that one of
his Irons was at white heat and he
would soon call and return the amount.
I admired liis plan of enabling me to
help him Indirectly.
John never came to see me. Ills
pride. Ids sensitiveness, whatever It
was. wnuldn t let him. One day a long
while after the board bill episode I
received a note from an undertaker
telling mo that a man named John
Ilouuec had tiled in a boarding house.
A letter from me had been found in
his room, and since there was no
money to bury him It was deemed ad
visable to notify me. The amount re
i]ulred was about $100.
I was sorry now since poor John
was gone that I had not been able to
do more for him. 1 Inclosed a check
for the amount and authorized a call
for more. I did the latter as an cx
cuse to my conscience for not attend
ing to the matter personally. I couldn't
bring myself to such a melancholy
duty.
A low months inter l reeeivcu u uuie
from one who wrote that he had been
nil Intimate friend of the Into Mr. John
Bounce, the inventor. It was proposed
by several of Mr. ltounro's friends to
place n headstone at his grave. There
were four men ready to contrib
ute -$50 eaeh. The cost of the stone
would be $250. Knowing that I had
been a schoolmate of Sir. Bounce, he
| had ventured to write to know if 1
would make one of five. I at once sent
j my chock for $50.
A year passed. One morning I re
ceived a note from a lawyer stating
that John Itounce had died a few days
before (my hair stood on end with as
tonishment*, that Mr. liounce had left
me his sole heir (I wondered), that
Mr. Bounce had^patented a mechanical
toy, and that a toy manufacturing
company stood ready to give $25,000
for the sole right to manufacture (J
grasped my desk for support).
This wonder turned out to be a real
ity. I accepted the offer, and when
the check was paid me my eyes filled
with tears. My poor, dear Johnny
Bounce had succeeded after all, but
too late. My thoughts were only on
that gcnlui for Inventing methods by
which I could give him money with
out wounding the feelings of either
himself or me.
