The Granger's Summons.

4 tall, lank, weedy-looking old gran
ger stepped into a Third street car,
yesterday, followed by woman as
lank and wecdy-looking as himself.
There could be no mistake about their
relationship as husband and wife. But
they exchanged no words, the woman
peering curiously at the window, and
the man cracking his iinger-joints with
remarkable success, for each explosion
was almost as loud as pistol-shot.
AT Clay and Montgomery the man got
up and walked to the rear platform.
The wife, not noticing him kept staring
out of the window. The granger put his
foreiinger between his lips and gave a
loud, shrill whistle, which made the
portly conductor jump as if bullet
had struck him. The woman got up
briskly and followed her lord, who
stalked along the street, still grim and
taciturn.
That's the way with some of those
country folk, said the conductor.
They're ashamed to call out in a car.
and when they want to bring any of
their women folk to attention they
whistle at 'em like they do to their

unlike the rooster who Just got out,

line, and when the passengers all quit
she says, Where's John?'

thieves have drugged him and took
him away to rob him, and you're in
the plot.

woman like thatp She said she'd give
ME in charge. and she was making

my car right off, though the time was

The Freak of an Actor.

Previllc occupied about the same po-
sition in public estimation in France
That David Garrick did in England.
but in no respect was he to be compar-
ed with the brilliant and versatile En-
glishman. When Garrick was in Paris,
Prcville on one occasion invited him to
his villa. Garrick just then happened
to be in Il cay and funny humor, and
suggested TO his friend that they take
one OF the regular Versailles coaches,
the villa in question lying in that di-
rection.
The twain speedily found an empty
coach and got in, upon which Preville
ordered the coachman to drive on. The
latter answered that he would do so as
soon as he should have got his couple
ment of four passengers. He could not
afford to drive that distance for half
fare only.
4 freak seized Garrick. Simply
changing the position of his hat, and
putting on the face of Ben Israel, he
slipped out of the coach on the far side,
and came round again as though he
had just come up.
''Ho! Vcrsailles?n
Yes, sir. Get in.
Garrick got in, and Immediately got
out again as before. This time he SIM
ply threw his hat back, exposing his
whole face, his only disguise being the
facial contortion.
Even Preville was himself this time
deceived. As Garrick was about to en-
ter. having this time addressed the
coachman in the idiom of Bohemia,
Preville put out his hand to keep him
back, at the same time exclaiming:
mo, no; my friends are away for a
moment, but are"
He had got thus far when Garrick's
face changed into SMILE An ex-
clamation of surprise burst from Pre-
yille's lips as his friend passed through;
but as the latter was again in the act
of leaving the coach Preville whispered
to himp
mo, no; we are full. We have the
four"
LET in no more, returned Garrick,
| as he again passed out.
Directly afterward, while the driver
was gathering up his reins for start,
little hunchbacked Dutchman came
putting up, wishing to GO to Versailles.
Can't take you-all full, was the
coachman's answer.
Never mind, let him comet" cried
Preville. wen make room for him
there! Now, away you 60. and pull
up at my villa, mind. :"
At Preville's residence the coach was
stopped, and the two actors got out,
wondering what the poor driver would
say when he reached the end of his
| journey and found that his other two
fares had vanished
A few nights afterward, as Garrick
came upon the stage in one of his IA
vorite characters, 4 voice was heard in
the pit-a voice rs of one upon whom
great light had suddenly burst:
"Ah, my third passenger! Ohio!

1t was that of the Versailles coach
