a well-dressed stranger walked into
the Office of Dakota lawyer and real
estate agent and said:
"Suppose a man made misrepresen-
tations to me about a piece of land he
sold me, what could ], d0about it?'
"Have him arrested for obtaining
money under false pretenses.
''If he said it was good land and it
won't raise white beans?n
"He could be heavily fined.''
"And that there wasn't stone on it
and Il find you could build stone
Methodist church off of every acreP"
'Imprisonment. sir, he would be
lucky to get off with five years.
''That's what thought. Now if he
said there were good buildings and
there proves to be only the lattiee-work
off a bale of hay?'
"Why, my dear sir, nothing short Of
fine and Imprisonment and plenty of it,
too. 1t would be clear casep"
Much obliged--I had about the
same ideas myself"
"Well, hold on. don't you want me
to take your case?'
80, no, guess not. You see it was
a piece of land You wrote to me about
and finally sold me. I've been out
looking it over and have retained this
other man across the street to handle
my case. l just thought I'd step over
and get your views on the subject. too.

his eyes. There, by the fire. sat Mabel
in all the abandon of negligee toilet,
her luxuriant tresses falling in glossy
freedom over her shoulders, while the
little fellow on her lap clutched at one
long. shining curl, crowed and laughed
as well as he could for aunty's smoth-
ering kisses. A sudden revulsion Of
feeling came to the fathers heart at
the sight of the sweet home picture.
"Aha! / know who contrived the
plot r' he said. ''But am glad to see
you, nevertheless.
"Wasn't she the belle of the ball?"
asked Mabel, saucily.
There's no doubt of that. At any
rate, 1 didn't get chance to dance
with her.
''Of course. Who ever heard in So
ciety of dancing with ones wife!'' she
said, sarcastically. II see that she
followed my directions implicitly. You
must learn that a house divided against
itself can not stand-that is, if one half
is flirting at party and the other half
at home crying her eyes out
go, Alice-were you, really?"
81 should think she was. | can as
sure you that 1 myself saw half the
house dissolvedin tears, and so wretched
that"
80, Mabel, do hush!" said Alice,
imploringly.
Traitor, do you turn on me?" ex-
claimed Mabel, with mock displeasure.
"My child" she went on, tossing the
growing cherub, "tell your selfish papa
that he also has some obligations, and
that, if you had known that you were
to be the bone of contention in this
family, you'd have staid in the garden
of angels, where you were wanted"
And that night she tapped on the
door of Alice's room and looked gaily
in. Wasn't right?" she asked.
And she was right. for Herbert was
strongly affected by this audacious out
burst; but it had the effect of leading
him to see his duty in a new light. 1t
taught him to reflect; it opened mis-
eyes to his selfishness and made him,
from that evening, better and more
considerate husband. Six months after
that time Alice was dressed for party.
But this time the party was to be given
in her own house and in honor of Ma
bells marriage. Even the bride did not
look lovelier; for nothing now ever oc-
Cured to mar Alice's happiness; and
happiness. after all, is the best preserv-
ative of beauty.-DetroI Tribune.
