MRS BAXTER'S EXPERI MENT.

Mrs Baxter was lying on a lounge in her cool and shaded sitting-room. An odour of camphor pervaded the room. The pale face appearing from beneath the white bandage gave ample evidence that she was suffering the torture of a severe headache.

Near her, moving a fan with a gentle motion, sat an elderly lady, Mi- Baxter's mother, who had arrived on a

visit that day,

There was a sharp click of the gate nd then-the well-known sound of slip a od feet across the kitchen floor, ah' Oh, dear, I do believe Mrs Good win has come to borrow something again!' moaned the sick woman, making a feeble attempt to rise. The door, which had been left ajar, was pushed open, and a tall, gaunt figure appeared. 'Good arternoon, Mis' Baxter. 1 declare for it, if you ain't got one of them pesky headaches agin ! Had it all day f The caller spoke in a rasp ing tone, with a quick utterance. ' You ought to take some hot hop tea and soak your feet and have a good sweat. Guess a dose of castor ile wouldn't come amiss, either." Without stopping for a reply, or an introduction to the elderly stranger, she continued in a tone which touched every nerve in Mrs Baxter's body, ' I just had word that Mis' Springer and her sister from Boston was a-comin' to spend the arternoon with me, and me without a mite of sweetcake in the house ! So I jest set to work to make some, and found I was all out of soda, so 1 jest run over to borry some.'^ Mrs Baxter made an effort to rise.

«La sakes I you jest lay still now. I can git it. I know jest where you keep it!' And without other words she started for the pantry'

Mrs Baxter knew that honesty was one of Mrs Goodwin's redeeming points, so she made no effort to detain Having procured the j3^-> i| lrs Goodwin■ pSled, h- -F™ri over her hearl "o-4 aM Wlth a P arfcing injunc tion to ' keep her head cool, and above all to keep her narves quiet,' she hastened home.

The next, morning, as Mrs Baxter was busy about her household duties, and chatting with her mother, Mrs Goodwin again appeared. She carried in her hand an empty cup. j

•So you are round agin ! Take any hop tea V Without pausing for a reply she continued, ' Wai, I had a real good time yesterday, and my sweetcake riz beautiful, if I do say it. I was just a-gettin'. ready to make some ginger bread, and found I was out of morlasses, so I just runover to borry Borne.' Mrs Baxter quietly proceeded to fill the cup from her own well-filled jug, Mrs Goodwin indulging meanwhile in gossip, which, although not in the least malicious, was exceedingly distasteful to Mrs Baxter. ,' So that is your husband's mother, is it ?' she exclaimed, after being in troduced. ' Come unexpected, p'raps V ' No—not unexpectedly. The visit has been pleasant anticipation for a fortnight/ replied Mrs Baxter. 1 Want to know! Why, you didn't tell me she was a-comin ! Wai, I must hurry. If I set here a-talkin' all day I shan't never get my gingerbread made.' And soon the click of the gate an nounced her departure. Mrs Baxter threw herself into a chair with an expression of hopeless ness that surprised her mother. ' What shall I do V she exclaimed. '■That woman worries me to death with her borrowing. She is a good, honest creature, but hasn't the least idea how she troubles me. I don't want to be disobliging, or refuse her a favour. It's just so all the time. No sooner do I get about my sewing, or writing, or taking a. nap, than I have to jump' up to wait on her for something she has come to borrow. And that isn't all, either. Sometimes she forgets to return borrowed articles. I don't wonder at it, she borrows so much. And frequently the articles she returns are not as good as

/£&,

mine. Sometimes I can't use her flour or butter. I dislike to say anything to hurt her feelings or offend her so 1 have borne it over since I have lived here-over two years ! What shall I Her mother sat silent for a few moments. Then she said : 'I know just how to sympathise with you. I once had a borrowing neighbour. I can tell you what I did but perhaps you will not approve oi my course.' , ... , <Do tell me!' exclaimed Mrs Baxter, e^TWs neighbour was a good enough sort of woman,' said her mother, ' but she would borrow everything, from a bar of soap to a bootjack. Sometimes she forgot to bring them back, and sometimes they wasn't worth much it she did. I remember I began by set tin« aside all articles of doubtful qual ity n-snch as flour and butter, and when she came to borrow such things again I gave them to her. One morning she says to me: ' Seems to me that last butter was not as good as you commonly have, was it V , ; ' Says I, as calmly as I could, con sidering I was shaking inside for fear she would be provoked : < I guess not. It's the same butter you brought back to me three days ago. L didn't feel to use it. I thought may be it was your kind, so I set it one side against the time you wanted some more.' 1 She looked thunderstruck. ■ ' Was that what you did with the last flour I brought back V and her tone was very suspicious. 'Yes,' says I. as meek as a lamb. < And the tea, too V 1 Yes,' s lys I, though I was tremb ling all over, I was so worried. ' I thought if they were your choice groceries, there couldn't bo any objec tion.' 1 You ought to have seen that woman ! She looked all sorts of ways. If you'll believe it, she never said one word, but just marched straight out, and she never borrowed after that. She was rather cool for a good while, but she got over it finally, and I guess she troubled the grocers a little more than she did her neighbours.' < Why, Mother Baxter ! I wouldn't dare do such a thing !' said Mrs Baxter junior. ' I should be afraid she would get very angry and gossip about me.' •What if she does? I guess you can live it down/ said her mother. That very afternoon Mrs Goodwin came over to return some borrowed butter. It was odorous and therefore odious. 'I am desperate,'said young Mrs Baxter. ' I shall certainly try your plan.' Next morning the molasses came home and was set aside in a cool place in anticipation of the time when it might want to walk back across the yard. The butter kept it company. Only a few days passed, and butter was again called for. Mrs Baxter shook in her shoes as she banded her neighbour that vigorous butter. Next morning Mrs Goodwin came in to borrow a little salt and a couple of eggs. 'Do you take butter from a new dairy now, Mis' Baxter V sho inquired. <N o —why do you askI }' said Mrs Baxter, innocently, trying to suppress a smile. " I kinder thought that last I bor rowed was not as good as common,' she replied. Mrs Baxter braced herself mentally, and proceeded to face the music. 'It was the same you broughthorr"' the other day. I will tell you frankly that I thought it was no* «f good as mine. I am very particular about butter, eyp-"^ cooking, so I saved it f or j-oii, in case you should happen to want some more.'

Mrs Goodwin's face flushed, turned pale, then red again. For once she was at a loss for words to express hei' self. Bestowing on Mrs Baxter a look, in which there was such a variety of emotions that she failed to interpret it, she hastened away.

' There, mother ! I guess I have done it now !' And Mrs Baxter re peated the conversation. They saw nothing of Mrs Goodwin for three days. At the end of that time she suddenly appeared, bringing a basket, which she placed carefully on the kitchen table.

' There, Mis' Baxter!' she exclaimed, 'I've brought home all the borrowed things I could think on. It has just come to me what a pester I must have been; and me a livin' jest as near the store as you do 1 I calkorlate I shan't trouble you so much in future.' Mrs Goodwin proceeded to unload the basket.

There were eggs, salt, soda, a bar of soap, a cup of sugar, some tea, a' paper of needles, some starch, a bowl of flour, ditto of pickles, some mustard, some writing paper, three postage stamps, and a bottle of cough drops. ' And here's your basket, too. I'd had it so long, I really forgot it was yours !' And she set the basket down at the astonished Mrs Baxter's feet. Mrs Goodwin coloured a little as she said : ' Now I hope we shall be just as good friends as ever,'cause I do like you fustrate.* 'I hope so, I'm sure,' replied Mrs Baxter. 'To tell the truth, it has sometimes inconvenienced me to get the articles, not but that I would just as soon you should have them. But if we understand each other, it will be all right. Occasionally I shall be happy to oblige you.' ' Wai, I must sharpen up my memory a leetle, and send for things when I need 'em, same a3 you do.' There continued to exist between them kindly feeling, but from that day Mrs Baxter lost her borrowing neigh bour. "SheW Brand Butter in half-pound pats.

WHEN the gout "hurts," the tooth smarts, and sore throats, neuralgia, and rheumatism set in, use St. Jacobs Oil, the pain conqueror. Do not continue to suffer - every store keeps it, and the man who endures pain rather than utilise a ready relief is his own worst enemy. Wintry winds are keen and piercing, and a house hold liniment an absolufce necessity. Many preparations are. offered at lower prices than St. Jacobs Oil, but none are so effectual or speedy in operation.

Mr C. Wellington, of Townsville (Q.), used St. Jacobs Oil for sore throat and rheumatic pains with great success, and considers it one of the best remedies ever put before the public.

Mr Frank Stephens, boot and shoe im porter and manufacturer, Auckland, N.Z., suffered for months from a bad knee. He tried numerous remedies, but St. Jacobs Oil was the only one which removed every trace of pain and cured him.

Maurice D. Benjamin, wholesale mer chant of Brisbane, had Home doubts about the power of St. Jacobs Oil to eradicate rheumatism, but after testing its efficacy he honestly states that it has wonderful rheumatic healing qualities.

Mr John Taylor, of the firm of Messrs M'Ewan and Co., of Melbourne, gratefully writes :—" You may make any use you like of these facts. I have found St. Jacobs Oil to be a euro for lumbago and for tooth ache."

Mr G. Coleman, of Aucklend, N.Z., had hi- foot badly crushed. Sb Jacobs Oil re moved all the pain and soreness in a few hours, and ho now strongly recommends the use of the oil.

Mr Scales, of tho well-known firm of Wrigley and Scales, of Melbourne, used St. Jacobs Oil for a severe strain to his back, and was quite cured by a few appli cations.
