(Copyright, 1905, by Daily Story pub. ( a.
She always declared that it was the
little hole in the toe of her stocking
that caused it all. It was such a
tiny little hole, but the bright color
spread over her pale face at the dis-
covery and gave it a beauty that
James Eliot was quick to notice.
She had sat Up late the night be-
fore to mend them carefully, but hav-
ing grown so thin, they could not
bear the strain of darning. It had
taken many weeks to save up enough
mcney for the new shoes and she had
needed them so much.
On entering the, store she felt that
•every clerk was looking at her shabby
:*hoes. ;
She remembered afterward that the
tall, dark man. the proprietor, who
waited on - her, did not seem tc
notice their shabbiness and treated
her with the courtesy to which she
had been accustomed in happier days.
She smiled half bitterly as she re-
membered her extravagance in those
days. Her mania for pretty shoes had
been a family joke.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a
pleasant voice saying. "These seem to
lit you nicely. Do you care to wear
them? Very well, I will send the
others.”
All that day something in the girl’s
face haunted James Eliot. He could
not understand it. Had he ever seen
her before? He had forgotten to ask
her address, so could not send the old
shoes. Perhaps she would remember
and call for them, and wrapping them
carefully he locked them in his desk.
Day after day he watched, hoping
she would return, but as she did not,
‘one night he took them to his room
and put them among the few treas-
ures in his cabinet.
Those who knew James Eliot would
have thought this very strange. All
his energy seemed concentrated upon
making ihoney and no one dreamed of
sentiment entering into his nature.
With much at his command, he lived
as simply as any clerk in his employ
and no work was too hard for him.
His presence was felt in all parts
of his establishment.
One day he noticed a young lady
quietly waiting in the store. She had
evidently sought shelter from
the storm. There seemed to
be something familiar in the
pathetic little droop of the head
and as he walked past her she gave
him a faint smile of recognition.
His face brightened as he said with
an eagerness that startled her: "I
am so glad to see you again.” Re-
covering himself, he added: “Do you
know I- did not ask your name or
address, so could not send the old
shoes.”
“Let me take them," she said, won-
dering at his embarrassment. He
hastened to say. “No, it is raining,
you will not want to carry a pack-
age. I will send them to-morrow.”
He wondered what she would have
thought had she known where they
were and how sacredly they had been
treasured.
"My name Is Helen Arnold. Send
them to 8'in Hawthorne Ave.”
‘Helen Arnold!” Mr. Eliot said, in
an astonished tone, but noticing her
look of surprise he added quietly. ”1
knew a Mr. Frank Arnold in the East.
You remind me strangely of him,
but it is probably just a strange coin-
It is good to meet some one who
knew niv father.”
“May i call this evening and t:iUx
to you of him? 1 know it is asking
much of you, blit—”
“I want you to come." she said
eagerly, .“if you knew my father.’*
That evening as Helen Arnold pre-
pared her tea and toast; she hummed
■ softly, the first time for many weeks.
She had been so lonely, but. now
some or.e was coming who had'known
her father. With unusual extrava-
gance she added some fruit to her
evening meal.
When she came down in a dainty
“When I came into the possession
of so much wealth after my father's
death, 1 made inquiries and found
that much of it had been dishonestly
made, that the wealth in my posses-
sion rightfully belonged to another. I
tried to find the daughter of the man
mv father had wronged and restore
her what was rightfully her own. I
have lived on a clerk’s salary, saving
everything for this girl.
"You knowr how I discovered yon.
I was a coward and did not tell you
at once who 1 was for I loved you
from the first, and knew you would
despise me if you knew. I am afraid
you will think worse of me for keep-
ing it from you so long. It was all
because I loved you so.
"Now I give back only what is your
awn. 1 am so glad to restore it to
ou, but it is hard to have you think
id of mo.”
She was sobbing quietly. How he
longed to take her in his arms and
comfort her!
“There is only one condition under
which I will accept it. James.” she
said, when she could speak. “Can't
you guess what 1* is? Oh, you stupid
boy! You must go with it, dear.”
REMARKABLE TREE OF INDIA.
FEE WAS ALL ARRANGED FOP
Lawyer to Recover the Lost Property
and Keep It.
Not long before Charles Bonaparte
left Baltimore in favor of Washington
and a seat in the official family of the
ration's chief executive, an amused
office boy one morning announced to
him that the 10-year-old son of one of
his friends had called to see him.
The great lawyer was amused, too,
but he knows the boy-animal pretty
thoroughly, so that when this partic-
ular specimen was shown in, he was
met with a perfectly solemn "Good
morning, Sammy. What can I do for
you?”
"Well. Mr. Bonaparte,” began Sam-
my. "I was out'n the country yester-
day, an’ I caught a tadpole, an' cornin’
in on the B. & O. I lost ’m.”
”1 think I understand," said Mr,
Bonaparte: “you want to recover said
tadpole. Is that it?” And Sammy-
nodded vigorously.
Still in his most professional man-
ner, the attorney, with never a smile,
continued: "Another thing: do you
want return in value or kind?”
”Jes’ the tadpole,” was Sam's an-
swer.
"I think we can settle it all right,”
was Mr. Bonaparte’s next essay, “but
look here, what am I to get for, my
trouble? Suppose the road gives up
your tadpole, what do I get?”
"I've thought of that, too, Mr. Bona-
parte." came the ready reply, "an' I
I thought I'd jes’ give you the tadpole.”
Many Products Yielded by the Famous
Mahwa.
In northern India, close to the foot
>f the Himalayas, grows ihe mahwa
tree. Sugar is made from its flowers
as well as a cordial and the tree
proves iiodf useful in other ways.
As a nut-bearing tree ir has been
known for many ages. It belongs to
the sapotaceae (star-apple) family. Its
blooming period lasts from the end of
February till April. Quickly after the
pollen is formed the whitish tubular
flowers swell to balls about as large
as cherries, which contain a large
amount of invert sugar (honey). The
flower tubes fall, covering the ground
in the greatest profusion. They are
eagerly gathered by natives and eaten.
A tree yields from 2'«t to 300 pounds
of flowers.
Rice is usually mixed with the fruit
before it is eaten. The dried flowers
have very much the taste and appear-
ance of raisins. They are exported to
Europe as curiosities, and are also
used as food for animals. Distillation
yields a large percentage of spirits,
which diluted with water makes
"davn” a native drink very much used.
It comes on the market in oaken bar-
rels. and is highly esteemed by Euro-
peans.
Besides the flowers the seed is of
considerable use. They contain a fat
of butter-like consistency, which
serves as a foodstuff. It is called
“mowra” and the crude stuff is known
as “illipe” and is used by the Euro-
peans largely for making candles,
soaps and the like. The wood is very
hard and lasting and is much used for
making wheels of the native bullock

The tears came to her eyes as she
said: “He was my fat Iter. " Mr.
Eliot tried to speak naturally, as he
said, "May I claim you.as a friend for
jour father's sake? He was one of
the noblest nu*n 1 ever knew.”

since the other days, Mr. Eliot did not
at. first recognize the pathetic little
creature he had seen at the store.
“You seem like an old friend,” she
said, giving him her hand in a cordial
way. “It is so lonely to know no one.
I feel sometimes that I must give up
and go back.”
“Why did you come here all alone?”
he asked. • :
“Take that easy chair and I will
tell you all about it. It will be a com-
fort to tell some one my troubles.
It is kind of you to want to know.
After the failure and father’s death
1 felt that I wanted to get away from
ail the people I knew. My mother
died when I was little, so father was
all I had. Some of my friends tried
to be kind, but I could not endure
their pity, or to be dependent upon
them.
“I had some ability for writing and
came here expecting to make my liv-
ing in that way. So many, many
things that I wrote were rejected and
when the little raonev I had was al-
most gone, I went to . nk in a store.
1 still try to write in the evenings,
but often I am too exhausted to think.
Oh, I am so tired of it all!”
“Poor child,” he said, “I should
think you would despise the one who
brought this trouble on you.”
“The man who caused my father's
failure, and indirectly his death, is
dead. There is a son, but I have nev-
er seen him. At the time of the
failure he was abroad. I do not like
to think of him, but he may not ap-
prove of what ills father did."
“He would surely suffer did he real-
ize what trouble has come to you,”
he said, shuddering. The paleness of
his face startled her.
"By the way.” he said, carelessly,
just before leaving, “let me take some
of your manuscripts. I know an edi-
tor that 1 a in sure will accept them.
You will probably hear from him in a
few days.”
When he left she remembered that
she did not know his name. It did
not matter, he was her friend.
The next evening when she went to
her room, the air was sweet with
the perfume of violets. The card bore
the name of James Eliot. “I wish it
were some other name,” she thought.
"But what difference does it make?
Me does not belong to that family.”
The n<-xt morning she received a
check for one of her manuscripts that
was so large it almost frightened her.
That day she had the first good meal
for many weeks. How good it was
not to be hungry!

her.

later, "you spoke of the man who

Mrs. Van Oyster gave a $5fifi lunch-
eon yesterday. Among those pres-
ent were Mrs. Clamchowder in a 54S0
gown: Mrs. Doughnut, $3ho; Mrs.
Cruller, $37.3: Mrs. Pancake, $730.
The dance given by Mrs. Golddust
cost her $1,5.3.0, she announces.
A pleasant dinner was given cm
Tuesday evening by the Dougherty
de Normans. The delightful inform-
ality of the affair may be guessed
from the fact that Mrs. de Norman in
her statement to the press put the
cost at no more than $2,561.
The Rev. Smyth de Srnythe was
highly pleased with the attendance at
his church on Sunday last. Promi-
nent in the pews were Mrs. Oil well,
purple, with green trimmings, $250;
Miss Rockflor, plain yellow, $680; Mrs.
de Snifter, green. $1,050. and Mrs.
Triphammer in magnificent pink and
mauve. Unfortunately Mrs. Tripham-
mer's price-tag was indistinct, and her
telephone message to the offiee was
taken by the sporting editor, who con-
signed the information to the waste
basket.
Mrs. Playgore’s theater party was a
grand success. More than $10,©no

A Historic Spot Built by One of Na-
poleon's Followers.
One of the landmarks of New Or-
leans will be sold at auction in a few
days, says the New Orleans Picayune.
'It is the historic and typical residence
on North Peters and Jottrdan avenue,
which was built nearly seventy-five
years ago for Gen. Jourdan. a French
emigre, who came to Louisiana after
the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo,
jand invested in real estate in the
'Third District of New Orleans. The
'house is of the colonial architectural
istyle, with wide galleries on three
isid.es and massive columns. It fronts
on the Mississippi river and the
grounds belonging to the old mansion
,are more than one square in extent.
Gen. Jourdan was a local celebrity in
his time and Jourdan avenue, a thor
oughfare in the lower part of the city,
was named in bis honor. He sold
his property to M. Lavigne, who oc-
cupied it for many years, and it was
acquired from the Lavigne estate by
the late Judge C. H. Luzenburg, who
was presiding magistrate of one of
the sections of the criminal district
court and subsequently district attor
iney. When Judge Luzenburg died the
property was sold to Capt. R. A. Cor-
-bin. who resided on it and improved
tho grounds, but did not alter the
stately outlines of the house.
Now the ancient structure, yet in a
good state of preservation, and one of
the city's beauty spots, will again
pass into new hands.
Japanese Colony for Texas.
Mr. Akioki. a Japanese of distinc-
tion. >s in this country seeking infor-
mation as to the climate and re-
sources of Texas, where it is proposed
to found a colony of his countrymen.
He will shortly bring over 3oo fam-
ilies. who will settle on a solid tract
of 10,000 acres in Bee county. They
will undertake tea-farming and silk
culture. The mulberry tree grows ev-
erywhere in the region to a great
- size. San Antonio is the nearest
town to the proposed erlony and the
| expectation is that the newcomers
will make good citizens and inter
marry and coalesce with their Texas
neighbors. Mr. Akioki says that if
the first colony is a success he will
buy another tract on which he has
an option, and in this there are 10,-
j ooo acres, enough to make homes for
3,000 families. There is a small col-
ony of Japanese now in Bee county.
They have devoted themselves to rais-
ing tea and this year sold their prod
nets with a good profit.

and investigating1 mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by-
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, nature’s own remedies—
calling in a physician only- in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained a won-
derful knowledge of the curative prop-
erties of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest-
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a rare combina-
tion of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with-
out money- and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
Of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen-
nial year dawned it found their prop-
erty swept away. Some other source
oitncome had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.
The three sons and the daughter,
with their mother, combined forces to
restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
so good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams hod no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were steeped on the stove;
gradually filling a gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired a job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkhaa’s
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties of
the medicine were, to a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam-
ily had saved enough money to com-
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success of
the enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vege-
table Compound have become house-
hold words everywhere, and many
tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in its manufacture.
Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not
live to see. the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward year*
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done it
herself.
During her long and eventful expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
serve a record of every case that came to
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice—
and there were thousands—received
careful study, and the details, includ-
ing symptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since, are
available to sick women the world
over, and represent a vast collabora-
tion of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
world.
With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her
daughter - in - law, the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was carefully instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the
direction of the work when its origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty-
five years she has continued^jt, apd
nothing in the work shows when the'
fiVst Lydia E. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mgs. Pinkham,
how the mother of a large family, took
it up. With woman assistants, some u
capable as herself, the' present Mn?
Pinkham continues this great work, and
probably from the office of no other
person have so many women been ad-
vised how to regain health, hick wo-
men, this advice is “T|purs for Health”
freely given if you only write to ask
for it. , • ^
Such is the history of Lydia E. Pink-’
ham’s Vegetable Compound; "■«**«
from simple roots and herbs; the one
great medicine for women’s ailments,
and the fitting monument to the nobis
woman whose name it bears.
