I often questioned her about her for
mer places discovered to my utter amaze
ment that she never was in a theater,
never saw or read play, and was entirely
innocent of novel reading.
I had become used to her manner. and
no longer feared she was insane, when one
evening my gravity gave way utterly, and
for the first time | laughed In her face.
She had been arranging my bed and self
for the night, and was just leaving the
room, holding in one hand an empty
pitcher, and In the other my wrapper.
Suddenly drunken man in the street
called out, with yell that was really
startling, though by no means mysterious.
Like flash, Mary struck an attitude.
One foot advanced, her body thrown
slightly forward, the pitcher held out,
and the wrapper waved aloft, she cried
out, in voice of perfect terror
'.Gracious heavings. What hideous
screams is those p
Gravity was gone. I fairly screamed
with laughter, and her motioDless attitude
and wondering face only increased the fun.
"Go down Miss Mary, or you will kill
mev' [ gasped at last
Apparently unconscious OF the cause OF
my merriment, she went slowly from the
room, waving, alternatively, the pitcher
and wrapper.
To see her brandish a dust brush would
strike terror to the heart of the most
daring spider, and no words of mine can
describe the frantic energy with which
she punches pillows, or the grim salts
faction on her face at the expiring agonies
OF spot Of dirt she runs out of existence
The funniest part of all is her perfectly
sto,id Inconsistencies of doing anything
out OF the way.
Harry found out the explanation
She has lived for ten years with retired
actress and actor who wish to bury the
knowledge of their past life, and who
never mention the stage. Retairing in
private life the attitudes and tones OF
their old profession, they have made II
kind of sport to burlesque the passions
they so often initiated, and poor Mary
unconsciously has fallen into the habit OF
copying their peculiarities. When they
left for Europe, she found her way to the
Intelligence Office, where Hurry secured
her. Long, long may she remain "Our
GAL" 20

Put your shoulder to the wheel.

There's voice that speaks within US,
If we own no craven heart,
AS we press along life's pathway,
Taking our appointed part;
And it bids us bear our burden,
Heavy though it seem and feel,
And with strong and hopeful vigor
Put our shoulder to the wheel
What though clouds are darlzling DER US,
They but hide tranquil sky,
Or should storm drops fall around US,
Soon the sunshine bids them dry.
Never doubt and faint and falter
Heart, be stout and true as steeli
Fortune smiles on brave enieavor-
Put your shoulder to the wheel:
Folded hands will never aid US
To uplift the load of care;
Sup and stirring be your motto,
Meek to suffer, strong to bear,
IT'S not chance that guides our footsteps,
Or our destiny can seal;
With will, then, strong and steady,
Put your shoulder to the wheel.
Men of worth have conned the lesson,
Men of might have tried It's truth,
Aged lips have breathed the maxim
In the listening ear of youth;
And be sure, throughout life's journey,
Many wounded heart would heal,
If we all, as friends and brothers,
Put our shoulders to the wheel.

] must write it; if nobody ever reads a
line of it, must, while it is all new and
fresh in my mind, write out the history of
the last two weeks, and the description of
"our gall" as Harry calls her.
Our gal first made her appearance in
the house two weeks ago last Monday, and
hailed her broad face and stout figure
with most hearty welcome. Little did
| realize--but to begin at the beginning
[ was, I am very young housekeeper,
yet theoretically I do know something of
the arts and sciences thereunto appertain
ing. was married about two years ago !;
bat we have always boarded until now,
and when l started in my pretty house,
with two good girls, and everything new,
| fancied that clockwor would be mere
wandering vagrant compared to the
regularity Of my proceedings. Twas on
a Sunday morning" as the song says, that
my troubles began. I was dressing for
church, when my chambermaid came up
with a rueful countenance.
eff you please, Mrs. Harvey, I'm going"
"Going ~ exclaimed; "Where 2"
"To leave, ma am Home I've got
spell of neuralgia coming on, and I'm
going home to lay by"
"But you can lie down here, if you are
sick"
"Well, ma'am, I amt to say sick, ex-
ac.ly, but I'm fixing for turn"
"a turn p.
eyes have neuralgia in spells, and |
always feel 'em coming"
Words were vain. Go she would, and
90 she did. [ went into the kitchen to
explain to the cook that she must do
double duty for a time. She was perfect
terrnagant, and to my utter amazement
she wheeled around with the cry
"Gone! Jane gone. Will you get an
other girl p
"Certainly"
"To- day 7"
"How can I get girl on Sunday ?"
sAnd tomorrow wasb-day! Well, I'm
not going to stay to do all the work. You
will either get another girl early tomor-
row, or I'll leavep'
you'll leave now, in the shortest space
of time it takes to 60 from here to the
door," cried Harry, from the sitting room
where he could overhear US.
With many insolent speeches she de-
parted, and incohvenient as it was, was
glad to see her go.
Oe course there was no church, and /
began to get dinner. Harry, Ike mas
cuiine angel as he is, took off his coat and
came down to help me, with the assurance
that he actually could not sit still and
| hear the cook use the tone she did, one
instant longer.
1t was merry day. Harry raked the
fire fill his olossy brown curlS were DOV-
dered with gray, which premature sign of
age was produced, he assured me, by care,
and not sthe weight of years" He peeled
potatoes so beautifully that they were
about as big as bullets, after he had taken
off the skin an inch thick all round. Pies
were the only article of cookery with
which was practically acquainted, SO !!
made a meat pie, two apple pies, and
short cakes for supper, which we ate with
the dinner at six o'clock. 1t was late
enough when we cleared up, but at last all
vas done but one thing Harry was IN

THE PoETIcAL AND THE PRACTICAL

THE POETICAL AND THE PRACTICAL
A gentleman of means, and an enthusias-
tic sportsman, having purchased a country
residence, began (to the establishment OF
his neighbors) to devote his time to his
gun and hounds, instead of the culture OF
his land After time, an old farmer took
a favorable opportunity to make some
remarks upon his course, that was, In his
view, not only proftless, but devoid OF
interest.
"If you will for enc day go with me, y
says the sportsman, 81 think can convince
you that it is intensely interesting and
exciting"
The farmer consented to do so; and the
next morning, before breakfast, wended
their way to the hunting ground. The
dogs soon took the scent OF a fox and were
off, and our two worthless followed; through
woods and meadows, aud over hills, for
two or three hours. At last. the sports
man hears the dogs driving the game 10
their direction and soon the pack, in fuli
cry, comes over a hill that had previously
shut out the sound.
There! my friend" says the sportsman,
s'there, did you ever hear such heavenly
music as that z"
The former stopped in an attitude of
intense listening for some moments, and
then said ::
"Wa'al, the fact is, those confounded
dogs make such noise that can't hear
I the music !"
Efforts to convert him were immeoia te'
ly abandoned.
