tOnly tell me why you do not go tc
Wilson's, tonight? You cannot make
your old uncle believe that your love
for pretty Ellen has suddenly ceased ?'
"Unele if you donot cease to talk
about that ball, am off, and you don't
get your daily chess
''Nephew, where is your respect?
But see YOU are getting angry, and it
was not my intention to make you SO,
only your not going to Wilson's, to-
night, is riddle to me-
''Will you, or will you not play,
uncle?''
This little talk was between the old
General Leppo and his only nephew
and heir, as they sat together after din
ner, smoking their cigars and slipping
their coffee.
Uneasily the general watched his
nephew, who with great seriousness ar
ranged the chessmen. At last he said:
Charles, you seem to be distracted,
tonight eR 5d l4
''Why SO, uncle % 5sAsa
side.
81 beg your pardon, uncle, I forgot
this CROCHET Of yours"
'Crotohet, why scrotchet? p I have
my reason for it. -
'May I hear them ?" 5a -
1T lose with the white chessmen."

.pIayed this game every night. You
