right In; glad To see you; always pleased
TO receive visitors"
The floor and bed and chairs, in fact
everything in sight, was covered with
newspaper clippings pasted on great
sheets OF paper, photographs OF Train
in every conceivable style; views in
Japan, in China, in Italy, France and
England; in fact, the world over were
lying in delightful confusion all
around the room.
Psyche was being photographed. He
sat In an easy chair, an opera-glass in
his hand, gazing out upon the tide
flats, as If In parOXysOn of delight.
He was dressed in a suit Of dark
clothes, neat patent leather shoes en-
cased his rather small feet, and he
wore a white shirt with turned down
collar and a subdued tie. A large
nosegay of roses and forget-me-nots
adorned the left lapel Of his coat and
on his chin was at least two day
growth of beard.
As soon as the photographer had
snapped the cameron the HERALD man
presented his card. The Citizen was
delighted. Fairhaven was grand
town"
"You ought to be consolidated, =" he
said, in that quick, jerky fashion for
which he is noted. 1.-TWO towns on Il
grand bay like this is prepOsterOus."
just here there was an intermission,
and the HERALD man and represen-
tative Of the Express, who was pres
ent, were also photographed, with
Psyche In the foreground, and his pri-
yatc secretary, John n. Klcnsch, with
red fez on his head, and looking Wild
eyed and gloomy reclining like TurkO-
man near the feet Of the great tray-
eler.
The job was finished and, as the sad
eyed reporters gaZed upon the work Of
the deadly kodak they felt that fame
and undying glory was at last theirs.
Then Psyche, his attention diverted
from the camera, hurled volume Of
questions at the Express man. Were
no accounts Of his trip furnished from
time TO time in his paper for the edi-
ficatiOn and the instruction of the
world?
Had not the comments Of the news
papers OF the globe found "a resting
place in the columns Of his paper?
The Express man said they had, and
the snowy head Of Psyche ceased its
swinging, for his anger had TEN.

Mayor jenkins entered and the el
