THERE IS
SATISFACTION
Iu knowing that 5'ou have bought a worthy
article—one that gives yeu full value for ths
money you have invested in it.
And it Is our purpose that every buyer of
our pianos shall feel that he has the best in-
strument that could be given him for the price.
We go beyond the consideration of profit-
making for our selves because we recognise
that a permanent business is best established
by having due regard for the customer's in-
terests.
No patrons of ours Is more anxious to have
a satisfactory instrument than we are to give
It to htm. No purchaser is more concerned in economical buying than
we are Ln helping him to select the best piano obtainable within, the
price he wishes to pay.
That briefly expresses the plan on which we conduct our business,
li has proved satisfactory to our customers and to us.

COLfDUKE, U. S. A
ADIE BARTLETT was
not the first young
girl to lose her purse
while chopping in
the city nnd find
herself penniless, so
thnt after paving
rarfare to the depot
she had not a cent
left. Vet she sat
down in the waiting
... room and imagined
that su. li a terrible, awful tiling hn<l
never been known In history since
Columbus so handily discovered
> America.
T he fare to the suburhan town
near which Miu Sadie lived with her
widowed mother was only 4i> cents,
uut It might aa well have been 140
ror all her ability to raise it.
She thought and thought, and then
the ehed a few tearB. Her tea™ might
nave become obs, but for a tough
looking boy of 15 who sat on the peat
opposite watching her Just aa the
first aob was working Its way up to
her throat, the boy winked at her -
deliberately winked with the right
eye and then the left. That checked
the sot) and brought a -lash of Indig-
nation to her eyes, but he came over
to her and grinned and aald
"What's dn matter wld da kldeas*
Has she lost her fadder and raudder,
or did her (eddy bear run away ami
lose himself?"
Miss Sadie had not drawn her
breath mote than twice when the
hoodlum received a box on the ear
and a kick, nnd a middle aged man
with a kindly face on him stood be-
side her and quietly obaerved:
"If I mMuke not. nilas. you are In
trouble. Will you be kind enough u
iccept my aid. If I can do anything?"
"Why — why, It's such a little
dead-broke maiden 40 cents to pay
her fare home, llo deserved a hospit-
able welcome and he received it. His
sgcuse for being there was that he
happened to have business in the vil-
lage Hnd blundered upon Mis-* Rirt-
Istt a identy and place of residence
quite by accident.
She bluthingly tendered the 40
army officer without being a gentle-
man ?
If anyane had broached the Idea to
th« girl that the colonel was ' inter-
e«!*d" ln her ahe would have laughed
right out. Kven when drest ed In his
best and freah from the barber a, he
rould not hide the crow tracks and
the gray hairs. It was plain that he
He could not be, would have been
the unanimous deciaion. and yet when
bay came again there waa another
quarrel about the colonel. When he
attacked. Sadie defended and things
grew ro hot tiiat she finally stuck her
chin in the air and said:
"If the colonel comes here it's none
of your business, and I shall see Uim
my purse. That Is. I must have lost
It in one of the stores where I was
shopping."
And you want to take a train and
can't buy a ticket?"
"V-ves. sir."
"Tell me where you wish to go and
I will get the ticket."
"But how can I pay you back?"
' Oh. I'll leave my address. It's a
matter of no account, anyhow."
The stranger procured the ticket
and saw her to the door to take her
train. Her apologies were so profuse
nnd her relief 90 great that the train
wus rolling out of the depot before
she recollected that her benefactor
had not given he the address prom-
ised If she had known that as soon
as ho left her he had procured an-
other ticket and tnken the same train
she might have bad still further
cause to wonder. He got ofr at the
same station, saw her tane a carriage
and drive away, and ten minutes later
he knew her name and where she
lived.
On reaching home, the girl, of
course, related the incident, and it
was commented on In words favorable
to th* stranger, but nothing hap-
pened to nil* u*. the milestones along
the highways of that county until
ne*t afternoon.
Then Orover Day called He had
been In the habit of calling for a
year past. He had an idea that he
was engaged to Sadie, and that his
ca.ls were welcome She had Just be-
gun to tell him of the incident of the
day before, nnd he was just begin-
ning to fe«l vexed over It. when the
parlor maid brought in the card of
