CHAPTER uI-coNFEss1o AMANTIs.

After dinner that night at little res
taurant on the Rue N, Scarborough
returned to his lodging, lighted his lamp,
and began a letter. He had risen to fill
a pipe when someone knocked at the
door.
Come in" he cried.
The door swung back and gentleman
paused on the threshold.
rs this Mr.. Stanbrough's room?" he
asked in a low, pleasantly modulated
voice.
YES" said Scarborough, who could ses
only the outline of the visitors figure
the lamp being between them. The
stranger walked IN and removed his hat
AS he did so Scarborough fastened to him,
exclaiming:
''What. Malverni You in Paris" and
as he grasped the hand of his old friend
he crowded twenty questions into one
breath. After the surprise of the meet
ing was over, they found seats and chat
ted together as friends do who have
heard nothing of one another for a long
time Malvern's manner was frank and
cordial, and he had fine, sensitive face
but Scarborough noticed that it was full
and coarse, and that it bore traces oil
acute mental suffering; There were
lapses in his animation, too, that indica
ted heavily burdened mind.
"You don't seem quite well, Malvern,
said Scarborough when the conversation
came to a pause. "You used to be sc
! jolly, you know-you seem sort of-of-
why, don't know-depressed, perhaps
| Nothing the matter, is there?"
| Malvern subjected the head of his cane
to a searching scrutiny, polished 1t with
his finger deliberately, and finally said:
Eyes, the truth of the matter is tina

me. /"
"Why. of course" said Scarborough

AngIo-Maniacs of Some Use.

The discovery has been made that
AnglO-mania may be really of some
practical utility to the human race.
The labor-saving ingenuity Of the
hungry and voracious tramp is to be
given credit for the discovery, says
the New York Times. 1t offers him
short cut to the pocket-book of the
fashionably-dressed young man in the
human race for bread and butter. The
accomplished peripatetic beggar, if he
possesses tact. no longer accOsts the
stranger with narrowing details about
his sick wife aud his seven starving
children. He makes no display of his
own empty stomach. He assumes an
immigrant innocence, bluff English
manner, and a cOckney accent. In the
fascinating vocal modulations ofDixey
as Irving he says. "Hexcuse me, but
you look like Hinglishman. Can you
tell me if there is hany Hinglish charit-
able society 'ereabouts?"
The fashionable young man beams
pleasantly on the brick wall opposite
and contentedly twirls his mustache,
while the mendicant follows up his adj
vantage with:
81 came over to Boston six weeks
ago, but l like New York bettah. It's
more like Lunnun, yer knaw. Yaas, /
went to the ST. Georges societ bat
they cawn't give me work till Monday.
I'd be obliged if you'd give me few
pennies for nights lodging"
"What makes you think l am az
Englishman, my friend?'
Jaw, yer walk likes Lunnuner, and
your top coat is English"
This last stroke invariably finishes the
business, and the well-dressed young
man pays handsomely for what he
considers a handsome compliment
This device, with scarcely any devia-
ton, has been tried successfully on the
same man three times within month.
1t is remarkable that the tramps who
employ it landed in Boston, worked at
Cambridge, and stopped at New
Haven on their way to New York.

A Story About George ". Peck

There was good story of Georges
W. Peck told the other day at the
time when he was acting chief of police
of La Crosse. There was hard
character in the city, Tom Mulcahy.
Among his other amusements was that
of pounding his wife. Tom would go
downtown, have some fun with the
boys, get full, then come home and
give his poor wife a pounding. The
evenings sport ended in a free fgh!
with the police and Tom in the Gala
boose. These wife-beating entertain
ments usually occurred along in the
morning from l to 3 o'clock. Any
where between those hours Peck was
likely to be routed out to go down and
arrest Tom Mulcahy for beating his
wife. This sort of thing went on for
some time. Then Peck became tired
of getting out in the cold from warm
bed. One day down he went to where
Tom was working. Tom was at g
bench when Peck walked in with 8
CHEEKY salutation. Tom looked at him
suspiciously, half expecting a sum-
mons to go to the calaboose. "No,
Tn not after you this time, Tom,'
said Peck. II just thought I would
come down and see if l couldn't enter
into an agreement with you" what
is it soIg" cautiously replied Tom
"Well, you know you are in the habit
of beating your wife" The big Irish
man nodded. "Now, don't object to
that especially. Of course you have
to have little fun once in awhile, but
/ want to see if you will not do it little
earlier. ] go to bed at half-past 9
every night. 1t isn't pleasant to be
pulled out of bed along about o'clock
to come down and help arrest you.
What | want to do is to arrange with
you so that when you feel like pound
ing your wife you will do it before o.
go" Mulcahy's face during this intro
ductory was a study. At last he broke
out with: "Mr. Peck, it's the gintle-
man We are. I'll do it, a solemn
hand-shake ratified the agreement
snow understand, Tom, you agree to
do all that sort of thing before $780,"
said Peck, as he opened the door. Il
do, sor. I'll remember" A few
nights afterward, just as Peck had
reached home policeman came rum
ming up, crying: "Chief, Tom Mulcahy
is pounding his wife," Peck slipped in
to his overcoat and went down to the
Mulcahy residence. There was Tom,
the worse for liquor, and in one corner
his wife, trying to save herself from
another attack. A soon as he caught
sight of Peck Tom yelled. ''It's me-
sells lived up to the agreement
chief" Tom, you're gentleman"
was the reply. ''Come, now, come
along up to the jail" Without word
Tom marched out between two police
men with head up. prouder of having
lived up to his word than general of
conquering an army.
