Rather an eccentric old lady,"
thought Mr.. Barkdale, pushing
past her to the third-story front
room, which he had solemnly en-
gagged the day before.
1t had been q rather dark and
dingy little den by the light of the
moon, but now, softened by the
coral shine of a well-flled CRATE, it
wore quite another and brighter
aspect.
"Velvet paper on the walls, gilt
paneling, red carpet, and Sleepy
Hollow CHAIR" thought Mr.. Bark
dale, glancing around. "Not so
uncomfortable, after all. When !
get my things unpacked, it will
seem quite homelilze."
He set down his valise in the
corner, deliberately opened 1t, took
out a pair of slippers, and invested
his tired feet therein. Next he
laid off his overcoat.
"Now for a cigar" thought he.
But the brown layered weed was
vet in his hand, when there was a
hustle and flutter and whisper
and a merry noise on the landing
outside, and the door flew open, as
if Ivy magic to admit half-a-dozen
blooming, laughing girls.
Mr.. Barkdale dropped his cigar
and retreated q step or two.
"Don't be alarmed said the tall

said Mr.. Barkdale. "Of course

and two rheumatic reception chairs

presented by his apartment.

Tha' set this type of yore.

Full fifty years or more;
Gone, lonv aro, the busy scribe
That drove that good quill pen;
Closed, years agonc, the eyes that read
The thoughts Of honest men.

The Bachelors Surprise.

A chill December evening, with
the rain and snow forming a disa-
greeablc sort of conglomeration on
the sidewalks, the gas-lamps at the
corner flirkering sullenly through
the mist, and the wind taking one
viciously, as one came around the
corner. Not pleasant evening to
assume possession of a new home; J;
hut necessity knows no law, and
Mr. Barkdale put his night key in
to the red brick house in the mid
die of the block, sincerely hoping
that his new landlady would have
common sense to light fire in the
CRATE.
.Is that you, sir ~ Mrs. Hinman
quotb, beamiDgly. There's a good
fire and its all right"

"Cephas Barkdale!" !" said the
wretched victim os o misunder-
standing.
"But," said Miss Moore, "you
said it was Mott Greenfield.
"Of course I did :" said the puz-
zled bachelor. "It isn't Greenfield
and it never will be unless I have
it changed by act of Legislature"
"Oh-h-h ?" cried the girls. "Doar.
dear, to be sure! And we thought
you were Kate's loyer-and his
name is, No-double-t-Greenfeld."
"Do hold your tongues, You Ii
diculous things :" said Kate, half
veyed, half laughing. What must
Mr.. Barlidale think of US all ?"
81 think you are very NICE" said
Mr.. Barkdale, gallantly.
Miss Barbara in the meantime
had taken slip of paper out Of
her pocket. She uttered an hys-
terical shrek.
ats all my fault 2" she exc aim
ed. at was No. 80 instead of No.
3G-and the tail of the horrid fig
ure's turned the wrong end up
that's all. And the cake and the
flowers and everything"
"Stop, ladies, if you please"
said Mr.. Barkdale, courteously.
Because the surprise has come to
the wrong place is no reason why
the right person should not enjoy
it. Allow me to give up this room
to you this evening. l will just
step across the street, and send
Mr.. Mott Greenfield over"
"But you must return with him."
said the girls.
And Mr.. Barkdale was not al
lowed to depart until he had
promised.
Mr.. Mott Greenfeld--a good
looking medical student, who had
the "sky.p parlor' directly opposite
came promptly on mention of the
name of Kate Kellford, and did the
polite thing in Introducing Mr..
Barkdale and Barkdale ate Of the
sandwiches. and enjoyed the cake
and cream, AMI coaxed Miss Bar
hara to pin little pink rose in the
button-bole Of his coat, and enjoy
ed himself prodigiously.
I'D like to be surprised like this
every night in the year p said he.
20, you greedy creature = said
Miss Barbara.
"But there was one time I seri-
ously meditated throwing myself
ont Of the window" said he. "when
you told me l was to kiss Kate"
"Dear! !" said Barbara, ironically.
"that would have been dreadful,
wouldn't it"
"But the awkwardnss5 CT tho

growing bold "but l will now, if
yol say So"
"But l don't say So" said Bar
baro, coloring and laughing. "Be-
have yourself, sir!"
Mr.. Barkdalc won't home with
the fair Barbara, and they grew to
be very great friends, and--where's
tho use trying to conceal how it
ended! They were married at the
years end, with all the six surpris-
ers for bridesmaids, Kate Kellford
included. Mr.. Mott Greenfield
proposes to follow the example as
soon as he gets his diploma.
