NATURE SPARE3
Tk* Stricken Rose From Grief.
"What a fortunate provision of nature
It la. that deprives the rose of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be Its
grief to discover. In the height of its
blooming glory, that a canker fed at its
heart, and that Its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she Is a veritable
store-house of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast a gloom over the lives of thousands
of young women, but thanks to the In
vestigations of scientists the true cause
of hair destruction is now known to be
a germ or parasite that burrows Into
the hair follicles. Newbro's Herplclde
absolutely destroys this germ, thus
permitting the hair to grow as na

affair to her mother. She also knowe the
fact that William has abstracted his fa
ther's dress suit.
William's attentions to Miss Pratt and
those of rivals get on Mr. Parcher's nerv es.
Jane tells Mr. Parcher In secret that Wil

3YNOPSIS
"Oh. Wallle Bunks, bid pld s'ant
have Bruvva Josle-Joe's dance 'less
Joe say so! Lola mils' be fair. Wal
lle mustn't"—
"That's that Mlsa Pratt." observed
Miss Boke. following William's gaze
with some interest. "You met ber
yetr
"Yeh," said William.
"She's been visiting here all mm
mer," Miss Boke Informed him. "I
was at a little tea tbts afternoon, and
gome of the girls said this Miss Pratt
said she'd never dream of getting en
gaged to any man that didn't have
$750,000. I don't know if It's true or
not. but I expect s«>. Anyway, they
said they heard her say so."
William lifted his right hand from
his ankle and passed it time after time
across his damp forehead. He did not
believe that Miss Pratt could have ex
pressed herself In so mercenary a man
ner, but If she had—well, one fact In
British history had so impressed him
that he remembered It eveu after ex
amination: William Pitt, the younger,
had been prime minister of Kugland at
twenty-one. Undoubtedly Miss Boke's
bit of gossip added somewhat to the
already sufficient anxieties of William's
evening.
"Up at the lake." Miss Boke chat
tered on. "we got to use the hotel
dining room for the bops. It's a floor
a good deal like this floor Is tonight
Just about oily enough and as nice a
floor as I ever danced on. We have
awfly good times up at the lake.
'Course there aren't so many Men up
there like there are here tonight, and
I must say I am glad to get a chance
to dance with a Man again! I told
you you'd dance all right once we got
started, and look at the way It's turned
out! Our steps Just suit exactly! If
I must say it, 1 could scarcely think
of anybody I ever met I'd rather dance
with. When anybody's step suit* In
with mine that way, why, I love to
dance straight through an evening with
one person, the way we're doing."
"Yes," William reflected, "it had to
be me!" With all the crowd to choose
from, Mrs. Parcher had to go and pick
on him! All, all the others went about
free as air, flitting from girl to girl
girls that danced like girls! All, all ex
ceot William danced with Miss Pratt!
What Miss Pratt had offered him was
a choice between the thirty-second
dance and the twenty-flrst extra. That
was what he had to look forward to—
the thirty-second reg'lar or the twenty
first extra I
Meanwhile, merely through eternity,
he was sealed unto Miss Boke.
The tie that bound them oppressed
him as if it had been an ill omened
matrimony, and he sat beside ber like
an unwilling old husband. All the
while Miss Boke had no appreciation
whatever of her companion's real con
dition, and when Uttle, spasmodic, sin
ister changes appeared In his face, as
they certainly did from time to time,
she attributed them to pains In his
ankle.
So they danced again and again.
When the fourteenth dance came,
about ..half .an hour, before midnight.
tfiey were"Still danclhg together.
Ii was upon tho conclusion of this
fourteenth dance that Mr. Parcher
"N'otty Ickle boy Batster fluttln'I"
mentioned to liis wife a change In his
feelings toward William. "I've been
watching him," said Mr. Parcher, "and
I never saw true misery show plainer.
He's having a really horrible time. By
George, 1 bate him, but I've begun to
feel kind of sorry for him! Can't you
trot up somebody else, so he can get
away from that fat girl?"
Mrs. Part her shook her head In a
discouraged way. "I've tried, and I've
tried, and I've tried," she said.
"Well, try again."
"I can't now." She waved her hand
toward the rear of the house. Round
the corner marched a short procession
of negroes, bearing trays, and the dan
cers were disjiersii/j themselves to
chairs upon the lawn for refresh
ments.
\\ ell, do sonieimns. Mr. rarcner
urged. "We d.m't want to liinl birn In
the cistern in the morning."
Mrs. Pareher looked thoughtful, then
brightened. "I know!" she said. "I'll
make May and Lola and their partners
come sit in (his little circle of chairs
here, and then I'll go and bring Wil
liam and Miss Hoke to sit with them.
I'll give Willie the scat at Lola's left.
You keep the chairs."
Straightway she sped upon her kind
ly errand. It proved successful, so
successful, indeed, that without the
slightest effort. witlnut even a hint on
her part, she brought not only William
and his constant friend to sit in the
circle with Miss Pratt, Miss Pareher
and their escorts, but Mr. Bullitt, Mr.
Watson, Mr. Hanks and three other
young gentlemen as well. Neverthe
less Mrs. Pareher managed to carry
out her plan and, after a little display
of firmness, saw William satisfactori
ly established in the chair at Miss
Pratt's left
At last, at lust he sat beside the
fairy-like creature and tilled his lungs
with Infinitesimal particles of violet
scent. She whispered:
"Xo't.v lckle boy Batster! Lola's last
night, an' lckle boy Batster fluttln'!
Flut all night wlf dray bid dlrl!"
William made no reply.
There are occasions, infrequent, of
course, when even a bachelor Is not
flattered by being accused of flirting.
William's feelings toward Miss Boke
had by this time come to such a pass
that he regarded the charge of flirting
with her as little less than an Implica
tion of grave mental deficiency. And
well he remembered how Miss Pratt,
beholding his subjugated gymnastics
in the dance, had grown pink with
laughter. But still the rose leaf lips
whispered:
"Lola saw! Lola saw bad boy Bats
ter under :Jray .Jree flnltln' wlf
dfny bl(T dirl. TiiiilJit1 nil lllgut wif
dray, bid, 'norirtons dirt!"
Her cruelty was all unwitting. She
Intended to rally blm sweetly. But
seventeen is deathly serious at such
Junctures, and William Was la a sensi
tive condition.
"Oo tross?" whispered Lola.
Ho spate not
" 'Twasn't my fault 'bout dancing,"
she said. "Bad boy! What made oo
turn so late?"
He maintained his silence and the
accompany I up Icy dignity, whereupon
she made a charming little pout.
"Oo be so tross," she said. "Lola
talk to nice Man uvver side of her!"
With that she turned her back upon
him and prattled merrily to the gen
tleman of sixtcefl upon her right.
Still and cold sat \Vill!am, Let her
talk to the Man at the other side of
her as she would, ana ever so gayly.
William know that she was conscious
every Instant of the reproachful pres
ence ujmn her left. And somehow
these moments of quiet and melan
choly dignity became the most satis
factory he had known that eveulng,
for as he sat, so silent, so austere, and
not yet eating, though a plate of chick
en salad had been placed upon bis lap,
he began to feel that there was some
where about him u mysterious super!
orlty which set him apart from other
people and above them.
And, although Miss Pratt continued
to make merry with the Man upon
her right, it seemed to William that
this was but outward show. lie had
a strange, subtle Impression that the
mysterious superiority which set him
apart from others was becoming per
ceptible to her; that she was feeling
It too
Over the chatter and laughter of the
guests rose a too familiar voice. "Lem
me he p you to nirc tongue samwlch,
lady. No'mV Nice green lettuce sam
wlch, lady V"
Genesis!
•wice ioi»;:ue samuicii, 3uuy Mce
lettuce sannvich, ludv?" lie could be
liennl vociferating, iierhaps a little too
much as If he hat! sandwiches for sale.
"Lemaie Jes' lay this nice green let
tuce samwicb on you' plate fer you,
lady."
Because he was a new waiter he
strongly wished to show familiarity
with his duties—familiarity, In fact,
with everything and everybody. This
yearning, born of self doubt and In
tensiScd by a slight touch of gin, was
beyond question the inspiration of his
paiuful behavior when he came near
the circle of chairs where sat Mr.
and Mrs. Tardier, Miss 1'archer, Mls»
Pratt, Miss Itoke, Mr. Watson, Mr.
Bullitt, others and William.
"Nice tongue samwicb, lady!" he an
nounced semicake walking beneath his
high borne tray. "Nice green lettuce
sam-'— He came suddenly to a dra
matic dead stop as he beheld William
sitting before him, wearing that strange
new dignity and Mr. Baxter's evening
clothes. "Name o' goo'ness!" Genesis
exclaimed, so loudly that every one
looked up. "IIow in the llvln' worl'
you evuh come to git here? You' dad
dy sut'ny inus' 'a' weakened 'way down
'fo' he let you wear his low cut ves'
an' pants an' long tall coat! I bet
any man 50 cents you gone an' stole
'em out nftuh be done went to bed!"
And he burst Into a wild, free Afri
can laugh.
At seventeen such things are not
embarrassing; they are catastrophical
But, mercifully, catastrophes often pro
duce numbness in the victims. More
as in a trance than actually William
heard the outbreak of his young com
panions.
A flourish of music challenged the
dancers. Couples appeared upon the
platform.
The dreadful supper was over.
