spot, down your article would go to the waste basket. Has what I said come true, or has it not?" "Too true, Rosie, too true," answered Grinley, "but I would not object to the editor exercising his prerogative by consigning my article to the basket. What I do object to is his stealing the heading, writing some utter nonsense under it, and exhibiting his idiocy in punctuation marks. Anything more foolish and idiotic than that could not be conceived." "Grin, you are too severe on Gilder. Whatever else he may be, he is not a fool. As you know, he used to write fine articles before you volunteered to do it for him. He did not ask you to write. If the truth were known, he may have published articles of yours that he did not agree with, fearing to displease you by rejecting them. I have heard you say yourself that you did not think your own articles as good as Gilder's used to be." "Your memory is too good sometimes, Rosie. I am willing to admit that what you say is true, but why the devil was he not man enough to write me and say: 'Grinley, old man, some of my readers don't like your editorials very well, so I think I will resume writing them myself.' That would be a gentlemanly and friendly way of letting me know to stop. The method he has chosen to get me to quit is brutal. I say it's damnable, for nothing else expresses it." "Grin, why don't you say it's horrid. You know I don't like to hear such language, and a man should never say in the presence of his wife what he would not feel at liberty to say before any other woman." "Rosie, I did not mean to use such language. I am sorry I did. I was angry and could not help it." "Father," said Joe Grinley, entering. the room at this stage, "I am almost afraid to tell you something you ought to know." "Don't be afraid, Joe," said his father kindly. "If you have done something you ought not to have done, I'll forgive you. You are a good young man, and try very hard to do right in all things." "Well, father," said Joe, taking a letter from his pocket and handing it to his father, "I forgot to mail that on Thursday morning, and it has been in my pocket ever since." "My editorial to the Record! You forgot to mail it. Joe Grinley, how could you forget such an important thing as that?" "I don't know, father. I am very, very sorry. It escaped my memory somehow, and I thought it best to tell you the truth about it. "But if you forgot to mail it, as you say you did, and as the letter itself proves you did, how the devil did Gilder get hold of the heading of my article and the very subject I wrote upon. It is inexplicable." "I suppose Gilder just happened to think of the same subject," suggested Mrs. Grinley. "Impossible!" exclaimed Grinley. "Don't be too positive now," answered his better half. "Only a few days ago you told me yourself of some of the wonders of telepathy." "Tele-h-" answered Grinley, and immediately started off to catch the next train for Brownstown and demand an explanation. CLAN MACKENZIE, NEW YORK.

Why Not Try Nature's Way?s s ss s From Nature you have a right to expect an abundant supply of pure, cold, sparkling water. It should be freely provided; should cost less than hydrant water; should be more healthful than artificially distilled water; abundant for all home need. Perhaps a run of Typhoid in your home has served to emphasize the point. If your house does not have just such a supply, it was due to your ignorance of "Nature's Way."
