plenty of them in the town"
"Just because I'm poor and can't afford to

A CURIOUS DISCOVERY.

Certainly" said Mr.. NJ, romance is not
confined to literature. Truth, as is so often
said is stranger than fiction. Ten years ago
my wife and decided to come to New York
together to buy goods. We were keeping
small store in B at the time, and mat
tiers had not prospered with us, as a rival of
mine, who had more money than l, was do
ing his best to ruin US. In fact we were
quite discouraged, and we were making a
last effort, for my wife hoped to choose more
tempting stock than 1 could, and by offering
move tiles reinstate ourselves in our old posi-
tion as the keepers of the best store in B.
We got on the train about O'Clock and
went first to 6. & J.'s for wooden goods
All the way down had noticed a stranger
a man about 45 years old-who sat near us,

very pretty woman, and that did not sur

there is limit to everything, and when
saw the man walking behind us it struck me
that did note like it. And when a. G. &

goods in a way that made me sure he knew
nothing about them 1 grew angry.
However, even that might have been a CO.
incidence, and it was only when we had
been to H-'s and VS. and were
going to lunch, and had seen him follow
ing us with his eyes on my wife, that 1 made
up my mind to bear it no longer.
We went into lunch. He took the table
opposite us However, the restaurant was
for the public. gave him glance, and he
colored and looked away {; but he was on
our heels again when we left. Then I
made up my mind to put end an to it and
we came to a large stationery store IN --
street L stopped, dropped my wife's arm and
requested her TO go on by herself to make
the purchases, as she was more accustomed
to that sort of stock than 1.
She did as 1 told her, but
'fOh, Frank" she whispered, don't quar-
rel with that man. L know you are going to
speak to him."
Don't be frightened my dear" said, 81

annoyance"
And as she left me, I took step toward
the stranger, who fingered on the sidewalk.
He met me half way.
