ridor will accept the offer.'

ten-iollar note 10 him, and he set out on his

will you please give ME one dollar for this

eyes that lis genuineness ought TO have been
visible
A half sarcastic, bali angry grim came
over the generals face. but he deigned no
reply, and oontemptuously turned away.
The prefer was soberly made to nine men,
none being witness TO the others refusal,

body would buy SO with 81. All decided
on the spur OF the moment that they were
the object of o swindler's attention. Ths

teased for letting so good bargain slip.

like a brilliant shaft from heaven, and
reste for a moment on the white head of

Nothing SO theatrical in effect occurred
at the Grant memorial service. but there
was an incident that attracted the attention
OF many present When the organ thundered
forth the grander part of the march q white
dove flew from among the high arches
and fluttered for a moment above the chan
eel, seemingly bewildered by the throbbing
waves of music in the midst OF which it
found itself. Then it hovered along in the
direction the procession had taken, wavered
an instant in mid air, and finally disap-
peared among the arches again. / asked an
attendant after the services were over IL the
dove had been released by some one in the

afraid size had lost something, or the cars
would run off the track, or they wouldn't
get up early enough next morning to get Off

after she got in bed, and, though We
wouldn't hear what she said, he grunted
miserably every few seconds and we Knew
bv that she was still at it, Finally she
doz.d off to sleep and all was quiet in her
berth. Everybody was glad. But in less

noked him in the ribs and shouted:

the doors open and forgot TO close the
kitchen windows"
