According to chiromancy (the pretend

tortuous*, colorless, feebly marked and
broken It announces 111 health and
short life; narrow, but long and well
colored. It Indicates wisdom and in

Mark Twain Heeded the Voice.
Mark Twain was quite at his best
as an after dinner speaker at the ban
quet given In bis honor some years
ago by the members of the Authors'
dub. Incidentally he told his amused
listeners the story of his first lapse
from the paths of honesty. He was
very young at the time, he explained,
and the day was an exceedingly hot
once. As be walked down the street of
the village In which he wns living he
saw a cart loaded with melons of most
attractive appearance.
"It is with regret I mention." Mark
Twain went on, with a humorous
twinkle In his eyes, "that I was tempt
ed and I fell. I grabbed the most like
ly looking melon of the lot and hur
riedly made my way to the back of
the woodshed. I gouged a huge slice
out of It and bit It. No sooner had I
done so when something within me
convinced me that I had done wrong.
A voice seemed to say. 'Mark, get op
and take that melon right back to
where yon got It from.' It was about
tbe greenest melon I had ever tasted.
1 went back to the cart and carefully
replaced it and? took a ripe one In Its
place." ? Boston Traveler.

A Middle Aged
Courtship
By ANDREW C EW1NG
Copyright by American Prew As?o
clatlon. 1311.
I was thirty-five years old and be
coming: tired of myself. The summer
was coming on. and I went to the sea
shore. thinking that X might shake off
i ennui.
There were boys and girls at the
hotel who excited my envy by the
friendly way or the loverlike way or
any kind of a way they mingled
There was a young woman apparent
ly a year or two past thirty who, on my
ahrlval at the hotel, seemed to regard
me with something more than an ordi
nary interest. She was sitting on the
porch as I entered the house and fixed
her eyes upon me with a peculiar ex
pression. I would bave liked to be
lieve?as I would have believed ten or
fifteen years before? that I bad made
an Instantaneous conquest, but that
day was past. I simply Infernal that
there was something about me that
reminded her of some one she knew
or had known. I had no remembrance
of ever having met ber before.
The next morning 1 joined a grrftip
of ladles commonly called the knitting
brigade sitting on the porch, and .Miss
Brown, the lady I bave mentioned, be
ing among the number I was Intro
duced to her. Drawing a chair beside
hers. I entered into conversation with
her. She had the faculty of placing a
man on unconventional terms with her
at once, a valuable gift In a woman?
that is. whenever she cares to exercise
it? and I felt at once as free with her
as if 1 had known her for years. The
other ladies one by one withdrew and
left Miss Brown and me by ourselves.
We chatted till luncheon was announc
ed and wondered what had become of
the morning.
That was the beginning of It There
was nothing between us that could be
called a flirtation. We had passed
that age. We simply found companion
ship in each other and spent much of
our time together, or, rather, all our
time that we were not in our rooms.
Miss Brown treated me not as a
stranger, but as one she had known a
long while Every now and again she
would indicate that there was or had
been at some previous time something
between us. but gave out nothing that
I could get hold of? nothing that I
could even question her about So we
drifted from day to day, l every now
and again rnnnlng up against this
vague something she seemed to have
on her mind.
And here I will remark that there ;
are circumstances, episodes, happen
ings?call them what you like? that a !
man will forget but a woman will re- j
member so long as she lives. It Is the I
large things that Interest a man-his j
career, the interests of his country or
those questions which pertain to the I
ongoing of the world. A woman will
treasure a note, a button, anything
connected with some scene or person
near to her heart
Finding Miss Brown companionable,
it occurred to me that here might be a
chance for roe to get away from my ?
lonely bachelorhood, to exchange club
life for home life, to settle myself for
the rest of my days. Whether I could j
do so was very easy to discover. All !
that was needed was for me to propose j
to Miss Brown.
But here was a difficulty. When 1 j
was a young man 1 could make love
for fun. as 1 regarded it, by the hour.
I knew a flirt by Instinct or thought I
did, and there were no boundaries with
such to my lovemaklng. But now in
middle age to do the same thing, and
do it seriously, seemed impossible. In !
vain I attempted to say something j
"soft" to her. The words wouldn't j
come out. And how could I propose j
"in cold blood?" There must be some ,
approach to a declaration of love I
coupled with an invitation to the wo
man to be my wife.
By dint perseverance I managed to
bring forth several hints as to what
was coming. Then, having prepared
the lady, the next thing was to make
the proposition. I took her out for a
long walk on the beach, hoping to gain [
inspiration from what the waves were
saying. The waves seemed to say,
"You old baldheaded coot what sort
of a fellow are you to tell a middle
aged woman you love her?" I kept
her on her feet for two hours vainly
trying to screw up my courage to the
required point The worst of it wai
that I knew she was aware of what I
was endeavoring to bring out and
was getting tired of waiting for It? not
only tired mentally, but bodily, especi
ally In her legs. But I couldn't do it
I marched her back to the hotel.
I made several more unsuccessful at
tempts, but Anally while we were sit
ting In a corner of the piazza by our
selves, with no one about 1 made a
final attempt and won. Then I listen
ed breathless for a reply.
"You are not as glib at this sort of
thing," she said, "as yon were four
teen years ago."
I started. "What do yon mean," I
asked.
"Dont ycu remember sitting In tb?
moonlight at another hotel Just before
returning to college for your last year
there proposing to a girl 7"
"What name?"
"Madge Brown."
"The flirt of the White mountains,
so called?"
"Yes."
She unclasped a locket she wore on
her neck and showed me some plaited
strands of hair.
"Whose ?s it?" I asked.
"Yours."

W. M. Jones, 4037 1-2 Twenty-fourtfll
St., San Francisco, Cal., says: "I
take pleasure in publicly acknowledg
ing the correctness of the statement
ray wife gave in August 1907, telling
of my experience with Doan's Kidney
Pills. I sufered a great deal from
pains in my back and when I lifted
or brought any strain on the muscles
of my loins, I was in misery. This
trouble made me very nervous and I
seemed unable to get any permanent
relief from the doctor's treatment.
Finally 1 began the use of Doan's
Kidney Pills, and benefit soon fol
lowed. Before long my pains and
aches had disappeared entirely. At
intervals since then I have noticed
slight recurrences of the trouble, but
at such tipjes Doan's Kidney Pills
have brought prompt and satisfactory
relief. I feel justified in vouching for
their merits."

Curious Old Legend.
Here Is a curious legend of Cologne.
Once upon a time there was a burgo
melster of the town whose wife died ;
and was buried, in the evening I
thieves, seeking to take jewels from
the dead, opened tbe coffin. Now it
happened that the woman was not
dead, but In a trance, and when the
thieves broke Into her burial place she
awoke and went to her home. There
she called a servant, who ran In fear
to his master and told him what hud
happened The scared burgomelst^r
replied to this, "I would sooner believe
that my horses were looking out of
the top floor window than believe that
such a thing could be." Scarcely had
the words left his mouth than be
heard horses galloping up the stairs.
In memory of this and of tbe return
of his wife he had two horses' heads
in stone Bet in a top floor window of
his house, where they remain to this
day.
