AS our friend, Abigail Stllman, says,
Who'd a.thunk it," said Mr.. Gray, laugh
large.
The next morning Mr.. Gray had gone some
distance from the house before he remembered
that he had only IS cents
ITll risk it, {" said he to himself. perhaps
I'll not want to buy anything. I'll show
Annie that a man can do without money!
@Hello, Grayin cried a voice, interrupting
his reflections. "What is the brain study
aboutf' 1t was his old friend, Frank Ray
mond.
The two men had not met since Mr.. Gray's
marriage, and as Frank was to remain in
town for II week, Mr. Gray invited him
home.
He lit q cigar and handed Its mate to
Frank; as he did this, the two converssd Of
old times, until they reached Mr.. Gray's place
OF business, when they separated. Frank
agreed to be at Gray's at 8 o'clock. Annie
was apprised of his coming by a note from
her husband.
Going home that night, as was his invaria-
bic custom, he ran into Benton's to buy some
| cigars. Benton was surprised to see him
drop the dozen he had taken up.
"Are they not good" inquired the dealer.
w think them our choicest
"They are good, but on second thought /
will not take any tonight"
Mr.. Gray had always purchased cigars as
he used them; but now he wished he had u
box Mt home. However, he decided to ask
his wife for some money, and run out and till
his case without his friends knowledge.
Twenty-four hours had passed, and he had
already begun to experience n feeling OF
shame, and a disinclination to ask for money.
A thought of Annie crossed his mind.
NPshawi she doesn't have to treat her friends
to cigars" he muttered.
Frank Raymond was already at his house,
and Annie had a tempting little supper for
them; and Annie was looking her prettiest.
When supper was over, he took Annie
aside and asked for a dollar, which she gave
him gfudgingly. Then ho excused himself
for a moment and bought some cigars. They
were wretched affairs, however, and filled
the house with a villainous odor, for he had
to get them at a new place, Benton's being
too far of.
The next day the two friends started out
together, when Mr.. Gray, with an air of
having forgotten something. said: Excuse
me a minute"
~Pl go back with you IL you nave forgot
ten anything" said Mr.. Raymond.
Mr.. Gray clapped his hand to his pocket.
Il thought l had forgotten my pocket
book, but l haven't" he said. $50, it's all
right" and then he hurried on, his cheeks
| could not risk having bis friend oo ~
with him and stand hv ,.hiia he s -
money.
Mr.. Gray was lucky that day. He had no
calls for money, and he had half a dozen of
those horrid cigars left, a couple of which he
him. In fact. he concluded IN ,;sI- nno,har
day in the same way. But on this day he
