A Scopch minister was sorely kept under
by his "better half, ;" who placed him and his
friends on vIry short allowance. On one &C.
casion he had a visit from an old acquaint.
,nce, and after patiently waiting for his
wife's departure, she at length, as he thought,
retired for the Light. She had no sooner left
than the henpecked husband exultingly ex-
claimed: ~ am determined to be Caesar in
my own house" and at the same time rang
the bell and ordered refreshments
Just as he and his friend were beginning to

| Is an idea, to be sure; Ill be hanged If
don't try it."
Now the idea which had struck Tom
with so much force grew out of the fact
that he had been bothered to know how
he could identify his man, after he had
found where suit of clothes of the kind
of cloth sample of which he had in his
pocket had been purchased. While re-
volving many schemes in his mind, he
had seen in the windows of store a
number of Photographic cameras for the
use of amateurs.
The thought flashed over his mind that
he could have picture taken of Foun-
tain, unknown to that gentleman.
Tom had friend engaged as leader
writer on the paper on which he was
employed, who had been greatly taken
by the amateur Photographic craze, and
who had become quite proficient in max
ing instantaneous pictures.
Fired with this idea Tom pushed his
way rapidly to Printing House square,
and, dropping into place which was at
once an eating house and beer saloon,
and where he was in the habit of meet
ing his Shadow, summoned a messenger
whom he sent to his friend requesting to
see him Immediately.
He looked about for his Shadow. He
was there, deeply interested in the study
of the various advertisements of the rail-
road lines hanging on the walls, with a
sandwich in one hand, mug of beer in
the other, and one eye on Tom.
Seeing Tom nod to him, he walked
over.
well" said Tom, what news?"
Our man"-it was one of the pecu-
Iiarities of the Shadow that he never
mentioned a name unless dire-tt! Isked
for itA"Our man had father once, but
he has been dead almost as many years
as our man has lived"
''In other words" said Tom, 1.-The
father died when the son was young"
"When he was a baby not two years
old"
"Who brought him up?"
His mother. She lived with him up
in Putnam county, coming here into the
city in the winter. She lived very quiet,

boy up well, dedicated him and then
died, just after he was of age. Ever
since he has lived as we know him. She
left him little property. Guess from
all l can hear he has about lived it up"
GLOW did he get into this swell set?''
Don't know, but ] guess through his
schoolmates."
Probably. Well, it isn't much, and
what there is makes him all the more
mysterious"
At this moment his friend came.
"Hello, old boy" cried Tom, have a
beer? No? In hurry, hey? How soon
will you be Off"

"See here, old fellow, want you to do
me favor. Iwant the picture of man
