and said:
"I'm looking for one Malvina Bar
kerr" ~
"And that is me-" said the rosy lips.
'Then I've brought you baby" he
said abruptly.
A good deal of astonishment can be
put into o pair Of bright blue eyes
without spelling them--and 80 there
was. Fortunately. at that point the
landlady appeared and 20. . moment
later. did Malvina's mother. called up
from the cellar by the voices.
Tom, again In his little room. found
it the loneliest drearisst place he had
ever in his life looked upon.
A couple Of days latter he concluded
that 1t would be inhuman not TO 60 and
inquire after his little charge. In an
incredibly short space of time he was
seized with the same impression again.
Then he went to take 10 baby, who had
not yet learned that the moon Is more
distant than the door-knob, a box of
geographical blocks. Then he went to
inquire II 1t need pocket money; and
he told Malvina that he knew she was
not kept awake nights with 1t, because
her eyes were so bright
After tea the moon came out Oh,
that wicked, shameless moon! Tom,
by its light, told Malvina right out
that her eyes were bluer than heaven
her lips sweeter than roses-and all
that
When they parted Malviva went to
her room and cried.
What could q perfect king of a man
mean by talking like that to herP OF
course he could not mean to marry q
little school-mistress only home on q
vacationp
Tom acted queerly, too. when alone
in his room. He took paper and pen
Gil, and figured and calculated. He
made list Of all the little properties
he possessed. He added them up and he
added them down. Then he set down
list of all tho things he was accus-
toned to spend money upon that could
be dispensed with. Then he brought
out book on economy, where 1t tells
how a man can live cheaper with
frugal wife than he can alone. He was
astOnished to find that book SO intense
ly interesting!
The next day Tom went again to see
the baby. In fact, it had seemed to
him as though the afternoon would
never come. He had more waiting to
do at the cottage. for Ma!vina's mother
received him, and she did not appear.
At last his impatience spurred him to
ask.
II don't want you to see her again,
young man. will be frank with you
and tell the truth"
''Oh, Mrs. Barker!" cried Tom.
''She's simple child, sir, and is in
danger not to understand that atten-
tions from one like you can mean moth
ing"
Dear Mrs. Barker, you mistake me
entirely, must see her this once.
must, indeed. If she sends me away
will never come again"
Tom conquered. When he explained
to Malvina about his small income and
consulted with her about its sufficicncy,
she told him that he ought to be
ashamed to waste such heaps Of money
on one. He should have sent half to
the heather.
Toms income has thus far held out
better than when he was single. Young
man, try it!

When Charles O'Conor took his first
shave at Nantucket the elated barber
finally, after many fruitless attempts
at conversation, asked the leading ques-
ton, ..How would you like to be
shavedp" "In silence, SIR" was the
short, storm reply. This story has in
terest only as it serves to illuminate
afresh the moss covered truth relative
to great minds ever running in.sthe

thought the retort all his own. but the
fact Is that Funiman, who was court

somewhat similar circumstances many
years prior to his time.

THE BELGENLAND CRASHES INTO A PIER.

The Master Mechanic of the PennSylyanla Kali
road COMPANY Yesterday investigated thc damage
done on Saturday to the companys pier at the foot
of Grand-st, Jersey City, by the Red star steamer
Belgenland When the steamer came up there was
strong ebb tide. and the officer i'll charge deter
mined to run the vessel up short distance north of
the pier, and let her drop down with the
tide 0nreaching the required distance the steamers
bow was turned toward the south; but instead
of dropping gently down with the tide, ne mug
vessel ran nose foremost against the pier with such
force that she went almost through, and remained
fast for some time. The piles were broken on short
the flooring was ripped up, the spnters were sent
living in all directions, and part of the roof fell H.
There was CONSERVATION for time among the pas
sengerS, who were all crowded on deck, and
two or three of them were thrown to the
deck by the violence of the collision, but none
sustained injury 1t was some time before the
steamer was hauled out again and then the extent
OF the damage could be realized from the appear
ance of the great V shaped hSsuIe IN the pier. II
was estimated by the railroad officials Who exam
med the wreck that the damage could not be re-
pared for much less than $4,000. The repairs
viii be made by the railroad company which owns
