howled, and swore, AID it did seem as if
he would catch it after ALL What he
thought as he stood on that fence and
watched that train sail across the bridge,

An hour later he appeared in Stamford,
wet through to the skin, splashed with
mud, and with an expression on his face
that would have scared hydrant. Back
ing himself against the depot, he stood
there until near midnight, and then went
up on an owl train to Norwalk, falling
asleep in the meantime, and narrowly
escaping being carried by the depot.
Here he took the freight for Danbury,
arriving at home just before daylight. His
wife was abed but not sleeping She lay
there torn by forebodings and harassed by
suspense. Perhaps he was dead, and lying
on the cold ground in the rain. Then she
thought of his lifeless body, and groaned
and thought of the pie and groaned again.
She knew his knock the moment it
sounded, and, rushing down stairs in the
costume appropriate to that hour, she
threw herself into his hair, and hysterical-
ly shouted, ooh, you old rascal, come in

A Swindle-Lo0k Out fer Bogus Cheeks

The Detroit Tribune tells of swindle
recently perpetrated upon various people
and numerous banks in the interior of
Michigan. 1t says:
Several weeks since a gentlemanly APP
pearing man called at a stationery house
in this city and ordered book printed
containing 1000 checks. He represented
that he and others had organized the
Eaton County Savings Bank, at Eaton
Rapids, and gave the name of some we'll
known business men of that place, to
whom he referred.
"SuppoSlng the man to be all right,
preparations were at once made TO fill his
order, but as the checks had To be sent
10 New \ Ork IN sheet form to be stamped,
some delay occurred in completing the
job. In the meantime the man called
several times, and finally, having to all
appearance become impatient, ordered
the check book TO be sent by express TO
the Eaton County Savings Bank. and
when it was bound ready for delivery it
was sent as directed
-Four DAYS after being shipped. q por-
ton of the book was found, ia a. stone
yard near the Board of Trade building,
on W oodbrldge street The cover had
oeen torn off and it was otherwise mutt
lated and $50 checks had been cut
out. As 1t bore the imprint of
the stationery house alluded 10, the book
was conveyed to their store. and they st
| once wrote to one of the business men at
