TRADE WITH HIM.
feeling well this morning, NiaF
he asked anxiously.
Nan watched him uj* the Mil.
Then she lay down on the lounge
and i had her cry out. Noon came.
She made some tea and i drank it
It braced her up wonderfully In
deed, she felt almost feverish. It
came to her that she would not en
dure it a moment longer. Jim was
there, 8nd he was her husband. She
would go there too.
After noon a breeze sprang up
which, relieved the hot day. Nan
dressed carefully in a white lawn
with pinkish spots, a dress her hus
band admired. She loosened her
hair about her face and let it drop
a little lower toward the nape of her
neck.
She felt that she was girding her
self for battle, and she meant to
have no weak spots in her armor.
Then she locked the door, called
Shep to follow her and, raising her
umbrella above her bare head, set
forth.
The walk put heart into her. She
felt ready for anything as she cross
ed the last field before the Holman
house.
Mrs. Holman greeted her with a
kiss.
“Why, Nan, how do you do? I’m
right glad to see you. I suppose
you know Molly McClure’s -here?
Jim told you? Yes. Well, sit right
down in this chair. We’ll 6tay on
the veranda, for it’s cooler than in
the house.”
She stepped to the door. “Molly I”
*he called.
“She’ll be down in a minute.
She’s most through dressing,” she
said, coming back to Nan. “How
nice you look in that dress! You’re
one of the few women I ever knew
who could wear pink and keep their
complexion in it.”
That did Nan good. She was
cool and her heart steadied down
when a great rustling of skirts on
the stairs announced Mrs. McClure.
Nan rose to meet her.
“Why, Nan Farrell—Nan Lan
caster, *1 should say!” Molly cried,
embracing her ecstatically. “I am
perfectly delighted to see you!”
She held Nan off and looked at
her. And Nan jooked at Molly. In
that moment her doubts, her long
fear, her jealousy, blew away like a
pinch of thistledown in a strong
breeze. She found herself sitting
in her chair again with Molly be
side her talking volubly. It was all
over.
“You haven’t changed a bit,
Nan,” Molly was saying. “1 asked
Jim if you had yesterday, and he
wouldn’t say. Hr 8aid I should
judge for myself. What have you
done to keep your complexion like
that, and your figure ?”
Nan laughed. She could laugh
now. Molly’s young glory had faded
sadly. Her wonderful hair was thin
and dull, her cheeks coarse; her
teeth had unmistakably been re
placed; her double chin rested on
her full bosom, and she wheezed as
she talked.
Presently Jim came striding up
with Mr. Holman. JProm afar he
waved his hand toward his wife.
“Just as much in love with you
as ever, isn’t he?” Molly said, see
ing him. She disposed her hand
some skirt carefully, so as best to
display its cut and finish. But
Nan did not notice. She was think
ing of Jim. Molly had been an il
lusion, and the illusion was dis
pelled. _
Old Mosque Legends.
The great Begova mosque in Se
rajevo is the largest mosque in Eu
rope after those of Constantinople
and Selim’s mosque in Adrianople.
In its courtyard stands an old stone,
across the top of which there is a
groove precisely the length of a
Turkish ell. Tradition says that a
pasha placed it there to checkmate
the local merchants’ habitual use
of false measures in defiance of the
express commandment of the Ko
ran.
But another of Serajevo’s hun
dred mosques has a much better
legend. Before this may be Been the
tombs of the seven holy dervishes
who were beheaded 200 years ago
for a peat theft. After the de
capitation each body tucked its
head under its arm and walked into
the mosque. So those dervishes are
worshiped as saints to this day.
Something In the Eye.
So when you get something in
yonr eye do the best you can to
suppress the instinct to rub tho eye.
Then pull the lower lid up and the
upper lid out and the particle in
the eye wiH be dislodged by the
tears which flow across the eyeball
in a torrent. It will be washed
out and will appear in the corner
of the eye. If pny chemical is
thrown into the eye do not wait to
look in a book for an antidote. The
best thing iB plain Water, or, if you
have time and it is bandy use a
plain salt solution, a teaspoonfnl in
a pint of water, either hot or cold.
This will wash it out quicker than
you can wait to .neutralize it in'
some other way.—Benton N. Col
ver, M.«D., in Good Health.
