HOW CHARLES
Proprietor Lyceum Shell Oyster Parlor of Rochestas9 i't r.
Obtained $2rCOO Life Insurance Policy
" My business as proprietor of the Lyceum Shell Oyster Parlor 24s Main
street Rochester N. Y.." writes Mr. Charles W. Babcock "was so confining
that my lungs became affected. My doctor told me I'd have to leave the store
and go to work at some-
thing outdoors lie said
my lungs were in bad
shape and I knew it
just as well as he did.
The trouble had been
growing on me fur a
long time. Like most
other people I trk d to
make myself believe
the trouble was not in
the lungs. I called it
stomach trouble or ner-
vous disorder but I
kept coughing spitting
and wasting away right
along. I lost in weight
falling from 140 to 115
pounds. Somehow or
other I got hold of Ack
Qr
ers English Kemeay
for Throat and Lung Troubles and after taking it according to directions I was
as well as any man in New York State. I was healthier and stronger- than be-
fore I took the cold which came so near killing me. I now weigh 150 pounds
ten pounds more than ever. After recovering I applied for a life insurance
policy. When the doctor began examining me I was afraid he would discover
that my lungs had once been affected but he didn't. I passed all right and
was pronounced in a first-class condition. If that isn't proof of the most posi-
tive kind that Acker's English Remedy is a great medicine I don't know what
you call proof. I give it my warmest endorsement. My address is given above.
Anyone who wishes may write me personally about my case."

WIND ON THE SEA.
The loneliness of the Kt is in my heart.
And the wind is not more lonely than this gray
mind.
I have thought far thoughts I have loved I have
loved and I find
Lore gone thought weary and T alas left be
hind.
The loneliness of my heart is in the sea.
And my heart is not more lonely than this gray
wind.
Who shall stay the feet of the sea or bind
The wings of the wind? Only the feet of mankind
Grow old in the place of their sorrow and bitter
is the heart
That nay not wander as the wind or return as
the sea.i
Arthur Symons in Saturday Review.
THE SACRED f
ARMCHAIR.
Story of a Soldier's Return
Captain Carus Bentley of the Elev-
enth artillery regulars limped down the
gangway from tbe transport and step-
ped on pier 19 with the vague indefin-
able satisfaction that after a year In
the tropics he was getting back to
God's country. He swayed a moment
as he reached tbe dock and looked up
at the ramparts of buildings along tbe
river. No one met him at the dock of
the steamer. There were no tearful
eyes brilliant with joy and tender arms
to crush him with happiness. There
were no- little feminine plaudits and
girlish bhrieks for greeting. How dif-
ferent was his coming back from his
going away! She had clung on his arm
and sighed little heartbroken sobs.
She was sad then. He had been exult
ant gay happy carried away with the
enthusiasm of war and man's love of
action. He had gone and won his spurs
and got wounded and then lay for six
months in tbe military hospital at San
tiago smitten down by fever wavering
between life and death not knowing
then of tbe agony which he inflicted on
his dear one with 6 Hence unbroken by
a letter or message of any kind.
Regularly and faithfully with the
devotion of her sex. she had written to
j him. and at the end of ten months
having received no reply she had
ceased. Some of the letters which she
had written be carried with him. His
hospital nurse had let him have them
when she thought that he had the
' strength to comprehend their contents.
Bach was an unhappy passionate cry
from a wounded soul an unconscious
rebuke to him and each revealed tbe
pain resting heavily in the bottom of a
neglected woman's heart the pain
. which she could not help express when
the natural warmth of her heart was
repulsed by persistent 6ilence.
Bentley crawled into a cab and drove
to his rooms. He had cabled his house-
keeper from Cuba before the transport
had sailed and he knew that bis apart-
ments would be in trim order when he
arrived that his bath would be pre-
pared the fire burning gayly In the
erstwhile deserted hearth and dinner
hot and steaming when be wanted it.
Wben he reached the door he fumbled
in the pocket of his blue uniform for
his latchkey and he felt puzzled when
be found that it was gone. He touched
the electric button. It seemed funny
to him to have to ring his own door-
bell before he could get in.
Presently the housekeeper opened
the door and Bentley's collie was alert
at her heels. Mrs. Blossom could only
ejaculate incoherent sentences in the
exuberance of her surprise and joy
and look at her returned soldier with
all the tenderness of her devoted old
age. " 'Happy and improving' your
nurse wrote last" she said "so I bad
no fear for you."
"Happy and improving" Bentley
echoed under his breath. "I wonder
if she too heard that." He had sunk
down Into a big armchair before tbe
fire. He was depressed and silent and
still weak from the wound in his arm.
"Let me alone to think now" he said
to the woman who stood waiting for
orders. So she quietly and uncere-
moniously withdrew and left Bentley
alone with his dreams. The collie too
little noticed after the long separation
leaped on his knees and whined piti-
fully and lay her gentle head against
tbe faded shabby sleeve of his coat.
Bentley took her head between his
hands and as he looked at the quiet
faithful eyes two tears came Into his
own.
"Little old woman" he said "you've
been lonesome haven't you? So have
I. I've wanted to be back here mil-
lions of times. Yes I have little wo-
man. And I had hoped when I did
come that we might not be alone any
more and that the hearth might not be
so dreary. Yes. Jess. I actually began
to imagine that some oue would sit in-
that chair opposite and would answer
me when I spoke and understand me
when I was silent and love me al-
ways. "Why little woman that empty chair
has stood there opposite mine for ten
years now. Yes ten years. You
haven't kept such close watch of the
time as I have." He drew the collie
close into his arms and she lay there
complacently blinking into the fire.
"We used to think that she came
and sat there and made us happy with
her laughter and her bright talk. She
was always a kind of airy ideal of ours
wasn't she Jess? But she was real
for us yellow hair blue eyes low
voice slender figure and all and she
used to come and sit there and rest
her elbows on her knees and talk non-
sense to us and contemplate the burn
ing embers just like a real woman.
And then she used to jump up sudden-
ly in her sweet impulsive way and
come and kiss us Jess you on that
queer white spot and me right on the
top where thetialr has grown! thin and
disappear to make tea. Yes Jess it
was all so gloriously dear that dream
and that image.
'Now little woman" he continued
musingly "I am going t tell you a
cret. Don't get angry and bark. wluV
you? I haven't told yon before be-
cause there wasn't time before I went
away. But I met her at Mrs. Man-
ton's ball three weeks before I sailed.
Yes her her Jess; just think of it; the
embodiment of our dream blue eyesv
womanlluess grace ah. everything
that you and I had yearned for all
these years.
'I knew her three weeks and Just
tbluk of It .loss she said she loved me
and she promised to come and sit at the
other side of the lire and to tease us
and kiss us and make tea for us. Ah.
little woman I began to believe that
our dream wjiIs coming true." The col-
lie lifted herself with a quick spring
and stood upright on her knees and
pricking up her ears to listen began to
bark furiously at the farther door of
tbe room.
"You are nervous little woman."
Bentley said. "Now settle back and
let me tell j-ou the rest. I have wanted
so much to tell somebody. It has been
rather hard to keep It shut up in one's
heart without even tbe comfort of a
friendly patient ear. I went away
with her kiss burning on my lips. I
bated to go without her but it was
war and that meant duty and It waa
the one thing for which I bad worked
and studied and fitted myself for 20
years. She wrote to me Jess; yes.
grand letters; and lame minded dog-
that I am I didn't know how to an
swer her in tbe way she wanted. I
couldn't even grasp what she was driv
ing at. and I used to think at times
that she was aiming at a smashup.
Well then I fell 111 and couldn't writs
at alL But she wrote and kept on writ
ing for months but I didn't get. the let
ters. I don't know what they were
thinking of down there to hold them
back. Here they are. Jess In mj
blouse and the last one Is awfully bit-
ter; yes awfully bitter little woman
and I guess the jig is up. Gad I don't
blame her. Six months without a
word and then she wrote and said she
hated me and loathed me and detested
me and that I was a coward and that X
could never see her again."
Again the collie sprang up and bark
ed still more furiously. Then Mrs.
Blossom came In and asked him If be
would not go and look at his room and
see whether or not everything was all
right.
I think there Is something which
annoys the dog." he said as he got up
to do her bidding. But she had disap
peared again.
Bentley went to his room and stood
at the door and looked In. It seemed
dreary to him. He did not have the
heart to inspect Mrs. Blossom's ar-
rangements. He turned again to go
back to the fire. As he reached the
door of his den he glanced toward the
chair at the other side of the hearth
and then stepped back suddenly and
steadied himself against tbe door
frame. For a moment he felt dizzy.
He ran his fingers across his hot eye-
lids to shut out the vision. A slender.
girlish figure leaned back in its dreamy
depths. Bentley looked again and the
vision seemed fuller to his tired sur-
prised brain.
"Louise!" he whispered audibly.
A yellow head turned and smiled at
him in an old. familiar way. He stole
over to his chair and sat down look-
ing at the quiet graceful girL
Louise Louise" he whispered feel
ingly. The collie sprang at her skirts
and larked indignantly. A strange
being filled the depths of the sacred
armchair which Jess bad been taught
never to use herself and to protect
with religious vigilance against Intrud
ers. Now it was occupied.
Bentley watched her curiously. She
smiled again and dropped her head In
her bands and watched the fire criti
cally.
"Louise is it you dearest?"
"Yes it is I" she answered calmly.
"The newspapers said that you had
been mortally wounded but the sur-
geon cabled other news and I conclud-
ed that he knew. I came today to In-
quire for you of your housekeeper and
you surprised me here."
"Louise do you love me?"
"That is not the question we ought to
consider. I have proved my love" she
said firmly.
Louise I love you and you know
It!" he cried out wildly. "Won't you
come and occupy that armchair al
ways?"
"Some time" she laughed exultant
ly with sudden gayety as she got up
to run toward the door. She stopped
in the middle of the room and came
back and leaned over to kiss the spot
on his head devoid of its silken gray
hairs and then the sunburned cheeks
seamed with lines of long suffering.
and then the dear limp arm with its
glorious wound.
Yes some time." she laughed hap
pily. Exchange.
Counterfeit Cents.
One of the best judges of counterfeit
money employed in the cashier's office
In the custom house was talking with
friends whom he met in a cable car
about the skill of counterfeiters and
the large number of counterfeit cents
which were in circulation. When the
conductor came around to collect fares.
the friend pulled out a handful of
small change to pay him. Tbe custom
house man leaned over and picked a
cent out of his hand with the remark:
'This just illustrates what I have been
saying. Here is one of the counterfeits
now and if you don't mind I will give
you a good coin for It."
Even suspicious people who invaria
bly rhiff silver coins to detect frauds
never examine 1 cent pieces to deter-
mine their genuineness and it Is proba-
bly the safest kind of counterfeiting
that a man can do though it cannot
be very profitable. The cent which
this custom house man picked out dif
fered from the others chiefly in its
being more worn around the edges
and very much blurred in its letters.
