Mrs. Cantor took up her shaw-strap

She twisted the leash round her hand.
1t was not very light where she was,

it was a mistake as it was standing
right with them that were going; and
the young man thought as l did. DO
you know what time the next train
starts for Bowside?'
But the Irishwoman did not know
any thing about the timetables She
kindly assisted Mrs. Cantor to alight,
and that person walked back into the
waiting-room, having an insane kind of
belief that she had been travelling a
great while and had gone over good
deal Of ground. And it was not yet
twelve o'clock Of midday.
She went straight up to the ticket.

AT 1880 this evening She thought
the man turned red and then pale at
the sight of her. She also thought she
heard him say to some body inside the
pen there with him that III that in
fernal woman didn't get TO Bowside
mighty soon, he should have to be put
into 3 strait-iacket himself, and where
the deuce did she stay between trains?"
She turned wcarlly away, wondering
what he was talking about
Her mother-in-law was expecting her
to dinner that noon She would not
dare TO arrive at Dearie's mothers in the
evening.
She sent telegram saying she had
been unavoidablY detained and would
go the next day She had not the
strength to go back to the South End in
a horse-car and get Scamp in and out of
It, She took cab at the station and
went 10 her own door.
Her husband did not come home that
night, and she was 50 thankful for his
absence that she forgot to worry about
him. Mr.. Cantor, senior. had to wait
nearly twenty-four hours before he
learned that Nuns Presh was an alb
breviation Of "Mummcr's Precious"
and that il meant the black-and-tan
terrier.
There are some people who say that
Dearie's wife is not so bright as the
average human being. but Dearie him
self afirms that she is as bright as any
woman he ever met; that none of them
know any thing. Let us trust that his

THE TREASURE SHIP.

We gre always building castles
OF the richest, grandest kind,
Where we sway imagined yassals
In the court-rooms Of the mind;
And down the Arcadian pathways
OF the mind are wont to roam.
Where we'd stray in fact-not fancy
II our treasure ship came home
And we find it very pleasant
In an atmosphere OF dreams
Quite forgetful Of the present
To indulge Utopian themes;
We would climb TO high ambition,
We would stand upon its dome,
We would claim earth's recognition
IL our treasure ship came home.
So, with hand and foot inactive,
Dreamy-cYed and lazy-limbed.
We can find life still attractive
While our lamp remains untrimmed
And sc calculate the pleasure
In Conceptions laden tome
Wen indulge In beyond measure
When our treasure ship comes home
OIL the dormant, selfish scheming
OF the idler can not last;
There will be truce 10 dreaming
When the present is the past;
And there'll come a dull awaking
When he'll find that life has gone,
And his treasure ship Is breaking
Ger the sands he built her on.
&C. G. Rogers, in Detroit Free Press.

In justice Co this young man the
writer of this must say that he had in
tended to return and suggest to Mrs.
Cantor that the placard might be right
after all. But he forgot all about this
intention until he was halfway to
Bowside, when he cried out:
Jupiter and Moses! l wonder if she
has found out yet that that car doesn't

The lady settled herself very comfort
ably. There was plenty of room. She
turned over the seat in front of her and
put her packages on it
She had risen very early. and she had
not slept much the night before be-
cause she had been trying to decide
Just what TO put in the shawl-strap.
Scamp was very quiet and his mistress
fell asleep.
The train for Bowside duly rolled out
OF the station and went on It's way.
Half an hour later an lrishwoman
with brooms and busters hustled into
the placarded car.
"Howly NJ other!' cried the newcomer,
''what does tn is mane?"
Scamp flew up furiously, barking at
the top Of his little voice. Mrs. Cantor
awoke to find her dog tearing around
frantically.

-And who the deuce is Dearie?" asked
Papa Cantor again from over his paper.
