eral times ON the point of beinp run over
by vehicles. and there is scarcely any
doubt that his misfortunes were further
augmented bv the use of words after
which the faithful historian draws an ex.
clamation and supplies by a blank. All
in moment. however. he thought he had
stepped ON a mouse and then he knew be
had come upon the plush wallet. In the
hall be opened it hastily, expecting to
find. perbaps. a few gold pieces: but his
luck was far better than he had expected.
What could Tiff have been thinking of to
forget about 1t or withhold it. dear little
goose! How could her charming ghost
have profited by her pin money, suppos-
ing thew had been starved?
In couple of hours more Tiff's head
ache had gone of like mist. ard they both
looked even gayer than before the terrible
ordeal of that day had set in.
At 8 o'clock there came a knock at the
door. The servant stepped over to Mrs.
Thwaite and said something in a low
voice. Mrs. Thwaite replied In the same
manner. Who could have supposed that
there would be e serious SEQUEL to such
slight occurrences When the servant had
withdrawn. says Tiff. Please, Huff, hand
me &5."
Certainly, Tiff. But on second
thoughts. remember how careful we must
be for a month"
II wish you would reflect that the laun-
dress must be paid"
.Oh. We can't spend money in SO lavish
way as that ut present. She must
wait"
Well" says the blooming wife, un-
concerned one way or the other. I'm go
and send her of.
She left the n ON and did not return
for FIVE minutes. Then. after sitting
down again and reading few pages Of
Mrs. Browning. she looked up with q
smile as II at some Joke, which was mex
plicable under the circumstances. Il had
to give her the clothes. said she.
"Did youS thought you always did /"

she had brought"
Weren't they Just right?'
Huff. you are getting obtuse. She
took them in payment"
