But Philip was not. No, not at all.

some picturesque style, which Jack
Christie audibly declared TO be ''just

making track OF glory behind her,
and gold and jewels flashing from her
head, her throat, and her wrists.
All in vain, however, Philip pleaded
for dance. Mona had been engaged
for every set since breakfast, and she
reminded him rather malieiously of
the necessity OF conforming to the
usages of society. So he had the sat
isfaction of watching the social tri-
umph OF the future Mrs. Hayes.
Three miserable days of continual
disappointment, and then Philip de-
termined to go back to New York and
see Mona no more until she returned
to her country home.
He babe his mother and Cecile good-
bye, and gave the regulation kiss to
Mona, who received it with per-
feet placidity and many kind wishes
for his pleasant journey; for, as
he was to leave very early in the
morning the ladies did not expect to
see him again before his departure.
As they passed out of the parlors

of the old tenderness made her face

miserable enough; but in about half
an hour a timid little figure stole
through the deserted room, and with
out warning laid her hand upon his
shoulder. He turned rapidly, all the
passion, which had grown to deeper
intensity in his suffering, bursting out
in one imploring whisper, "Nonal"
"Philip!"
Well, you know the end. Philip did
not like the fashionable Mona at all;
his whole heart cried out for the sweet,
natural girl that he had never priced
enough till he believed her gone ior-
ever. The tangled curls, the short
dresses, even the little ruff1ed aprons,
never more looked homely in his
eyss.
Ever afterward he had the most
wholesome fear of Mona turning fash
ionable; and she to this day, when
Philip is in the Opposition, reminds
him OF his one experiment in managing
women, and assures him that in the
long run he would not like his own
way il he got it, and so he takes hers,
which, after all, | have no doubt, is
the most sensible thing he can do

Chicago Herald. Captain Williams
OF the New York force, is one of the
best known police officers in the United
States" said Manhattanite at the
Palmer House the other night, "but ]
don't believe the story OF how he got
on the force has ever been told in

with orders to keep the sidewalks
cleared. Now, that was about the
toughest corner in New York. The
hoodlums used to run the streets
there, and if q policeman failed to
carry himself to their satisfaction,
they proceeded to do him up. On
this day the toughs were out in force,
and right among them Williams
walked.
"Ye'll move on, now" he sang out,
that's the order
"NVat yer givin' us, Mr.. Fresh?'
was the defiant response, as the gang
gathered to wipe the gutter with him
as with so many OF his predecessors.
''But Williams waited to hear no
more. In a jiffy his club was out, and
that terrible right arm of his al work.
He is powerful, agile man, and in
all of his experiences he never handled
a willow with such telling effect. In
less than two minutes he had eight
toughs stretched out on the sidewalk
in front of him. and as fast as they
attempted to get up he knocked them
down again, and walked over their
PROSTATE bodies whacking them right
and left. He is tiger when reused,
and such clubbing bout was never
before seen in New York. Having
pounded the eight toughs into subjec-
tion he stood them up in line and
marched them to the station-house

are red in captivity, and as much
accustomed to the sight of man as
dog or cat. But take the case of
wild tiger trapped in a jungle. Well.
the tiger is terocious chiefly when he
is hungry. If man has got full
grown tiger and sends it home from
India he is not such fool as to allow
the tiger to go blasting all the way. The
tiger lisa marketable commodity, and
will fetch ESQ in the market. II you
have got ESQ in an animal, you take
care it does not want its dinner. On
the contrary, you give it as much as
it will eat, in order to improve it's
condition so that it will fetch a better
price. The consequence is by the time
the tiger has arrived in London from
Calcutta he has grown fat and lazy.
He gets his meals regular, and has no
disposition to make meal of you;
hence you can approach him, and if
you are patient and study him and
humor him and be firm with him and
never take your eye off his or let your
back be turned, you can do what you
like with him. Animals are all alike;
there is on animal so ferocious but
can be overcome by kindness and pa
tfence."

Threatened Masonic Exposure.

bill offering to expose the order, and
offered an advertisement to the same
effect to the local newspaper. These
handbills he has sent to Masons in
the locality, threatening to distribute
them il he is not aided, and his de.
mand is in the nature of blackmail,
The lodges have investigated him,
and find that he is not entitled to
assistance, and some OF his letters to
individual members have in them
smack of threats similar to the Nor
gan expos ire. The lodges will offer
no opposition to his course, and it is
understood that he is getting ready
for comforting degrees surreptitiously
at his house.
