out stopping. The train was three hours
behind time and the doctor, not expecting
it, and unfortunately being very deaf, and
the snow-storm so binding his vision,
stepped upon the track just in front OF
the train, to be caught and thrown higher
than the train and upon TIE platform. He
breathed only once or twice when friends
reached him.

DENNIS AND THE MONKEY.
How Dennis Had His Coal Delivered Free
ut His Door.
BHfdl0 ErpreS

Dennis Regain is now living in fat
which overlooks the Laclawana tracks.
Across the street lives an Italian nObleman
in reduced circumstances, who ekes out
his poor existence with the aid of poo mon
key and worse hand-organ. To Gsribaldi
comes Dennis one evening, and after pass
ing the time of day, warns up to the sub
ject in hand.
''Av We place. Mr.. Garybalda," says
Dennis, in his most unctuOus and wheed-
ling tone, ''wud yez have any objections
to loanin' me yer munkey fur an hour or
two ivry mornin'?''
What a-for you want a-monk?" in
quired the count.
''Niver We mind" replied Dennis.
What wud We charge mornin' for the
use av him?'.
The count suggested that 10 cents an
hour would be the proper figure, after
vainly attempting to find out what Dennis
was going to do with the monkey. Dennis
haggled and tried TO beat the Italian down,
but Garabaldi wouldn't have it that way,
and the deal was closed at his figure.
Everything went beautifully for few
days. The money WAS paid promptly and
the monkey was returned regularly in time
not to interfere with the requirements OF
the counts profession To be sure the am
nal looked u little hOllow-eyed and care
Worn, but in the main WAS in good cOndi-
ton.
Finally, however, the Italians curiosity
got the better OF his avarice, and he told
Dennis the monkey would not be loaned
any more. This announcement had most
depressing effect on Dennis. His megathe-
rian intellect rose to the emergency, though
and he proceeded TO effect one of those
mastery financial cOups which dazzled
people who are not familiar with the work
ingS of the capitalistic mind
"Garybaldy," said Dennis, ''av yen
promise to act square and not give the
racket away I'll he after takin' We into
partnership an gin We half the profits for
the use of the monkey"
"All-a-right-a, said the Italian.
At this the new partners shook hands
and each took another pull out of the can
of beer which Dennis had warily provided
to lubricate the negotiations. Then Den
mis-, in his customary lordly manner, put
his arm through the Italian 5, and together
they Sauntercd over To the back yard OF
the house where Dennis lived.
"D'yc see that thcr pole, Carry" inquir-
ed Dennis, pointing 10 pole some fifteen
feet high, surmounted by n croSSpiece.
The Italian couldn't very well help See
ing it, and remarked that it WAS within
the range of his vision.
"D'yc know PLAT there is beyant the
fence" said Dennis Trims the railroad
