He Wanted to See an Overcoat.

II would like to look at an overcoat,s
said seedy-looking individual, enter
ing one of our leading clothing houses
the other day. The gentlemanly clerk
eyed him suspiciously for a moment,
and then said: About what price ?"
"Oh, that's no matter" said the seedy
stranger. @Show me something nice
and warm" "Aha." thought the clerk,

with pocketful of money. Just watch
me now" He overhauled pile after
pile of coats, but nothing suited.
Finally he brought out . fine, soft
coat, fur cuffs and large fur collar.
@Only forty dollars. just as good a.
. tailor would charge you eighty for"
The stranger looked ct it carefully for
about five minutes, and the salesman's
eyes sparkled in anticipation of An
easy sale. Finally the seedy individual
turned to the salesman and said, with
. sigh, "Thankee, sir, thankee. It's
been so long since I've seed . good
warm overcoat that thought it would
do me good to see one again, sir. Lord
bless you, no, couldn't buy it, not if

A DANDY Office BOy,

There was hurried consultation In
the editorial rooms of the Tribune the
night following the election in France.
Cablegrams had been pouring in faster
than contributions flow in to the Golfers
of the Worlds Fair Committee. The
telegraph editor sought the desk of the
night editor with handful of double.
loaded proofs of the foreign matter and
handed them over with q sigh. tbs
is what the night editor read:

PARIS, Sept. 22.-Returns indicate
that General Boulanger is elected.
Later-General BouIanger is not

Still Later-The latest returns show
that General Boulsnger has been

Later Than the Latest General
Boulanger's election is doubtful.
Later Than -Boulanger has
been elected.
The Last Thing-He hasn'.
After the Last-He has.
Come Again-You're another.
Now" said the telegraph editor
when the night editor had finished
wading through it and had put on his
shoes and stockings again and rolled
his trousers down into place, "wh.t
would you head that?"
Head it ?" asked the night editor.
@Why don't you head it your OWE
self?"
Don't get pernickity"
*Don't you, either. Put your own
head on it and I'll put another ON you
to take the place of it,"
You will, eh?"
"Yes, I will"

The night editor looked at the tele-

had come to me from the desd-I pressed
the paper to my lips.
When 1 returned from that rids it was
dark. The clock over the Grange stables
struck seven.
Dinner was to be at half past.
Feeling guilty and contrite, made as
hasty toilet as possible and repaired to
the drawing-roo in the hope Of finding
my wife alone. Hawks was there, how.
ever. bending over her and fastening q
bracelet; Edna Lynton sat on a low seat
near, turning over the leaves of An album.
L know am late. Forgive me, / said
frankly, going up to Georgit; thus sdher-
ing closely to the line Of conduct I had
laid down.
All right, Jack, she answered care
lessly, without looking at me, then
laughed out merrily at something Hawks
was saying.
Edna, raising her eyes, gravsly return.
ed my bow, and at that moment Dr.. Gas
coigne was announced felt his advent
aud CHEEKY; shook. hands warmly with
George snd myself. and seemed to bring
a Whit of fresh, pure air with him. He
spoke a few pleasant words to Edna; !
mentioned Hawks by name.
we are all friends here, he said, and
held his hand to the younger man. The
dinner-gong sounded; he offered his arm
to George.
How we'll You look, Mrs. Dudley. I
heard him say as passed to lead the way
with Edna.
Yes, George looked we'll, and splen-
didly handsome in her new black dress,
glittering with jet, yet knew that the
light touch of the small hand resting on
my arm thrilled me in . way my wife's
gorgeous beauty could not do. Hawks
kept up fire Of lively banter behind us,
but I was silent; my tongue seemed tied.
When We seated ourselves round the din
ing table I felt conscious of ono pros
ence only, and that was Edna's. 1t was
50 wonderful . thing that she should be
80 near! The soft folds Of her white
dress touched me. At her throat she
wore little bunch Of vio!ets; their per-
fume seemed to fill the air. How fond
she used to be Of violets in the days gona
by!
How it might have been without those
soul-bewildering violets can not say, but
as it was they did for me completely. A
wave OF intense feeling swept over me-a
to SEQ the wretched, bare, most miserable
truth.
Grest Godl Had I not only ceased to
love my wife-had I, in fact, never loved
her; but been the slave Of mad, infaru-
sted passion that had burnt itself out al
ready? Was Edna-who had been my
first love-my only true love still?
