knows s-that he might hear of SON citing
to his advantage if he should 70 down to
the city and call upon Clementine; So,
after some futile resistance 10 the mes,
sage, he betook himself thither.
he was graciously received by Clemen.
tine-that is, graciously enough for a
young man who had played the trifier
with her invisible affectons-and he
seated himself in cosy chair near thu
pretty table which held his old friend
the blue jar.
AS he talked with Clementine-a little
constraint being apparent on both sides
he toyed with the lid of the jar, and the
slant eyed mandarin appeared to wink al
him three times very knowingly
Under some occult but imperative
pressure Randall removed the lid and
touched with his finger the silken texture
Of some mysterious contents.
Curiosity further constrained him, and
he pulled from the bosom of the now
jubilant mandarin pale blue article OF
singular description for a parlor orna
ment, and, following it, he extricated a
pale pink strip of similar shape and
structure.
Turning TO Clementine for explanation
OF these unforeseen apparitions, he found
her speechless with wild eyed astonish.
ment, and, without a word or gesture,
she seized the old blue jar and hurried
from the room.
Randall smiled the first real, soul felt
smile that he had INDUCED in for several
months, and vowed by the pigtail of the
old slant eyed that he would stay rooted
to the spot until Clementine returned.
What she said to the genius of the blue
jar as she flew up stairs with it only the
mandarin can reveal.
AS Randall paced the parlor, pulling
his mustache, and wondering if Clemen.
tines keen sense of humor would carry
her safely through the trying hour, she
came shamefacedly into the room, bear

old bosom.
Randall met the dear girl more than
half way, and as she whimpered gently
on his shoulder he promised never, never,
TO tell.
And when they were married, If you
believe me, that ridiculous old ginger
jar accompanied them on their wedding
trip, and Randall packed the bosom OF
the grotesque mandarin full of Clemen-
tines bridal roses, there to fade, and
there forever to remain.
Now, as Randall never told, and Glenn
entine never told, the entire responsibility
of this revelation lies between you and
me and the ginger jar.-Emma Carleton.

CRUSHING A CLERK.
A French Comedians Little .poks
which Worked successfuIIy.

A French Comedians Little Joke
Which Worked successfuIly.
1t is related of certain French come
dian, says the Philadelphia Times, that
he would rather indulge in an inoffensivs
practical joke than keep faith with his
manager.
An incident in the latter line that he
confessed to himself was that on certain
occasion he entered prominent hard
ware store when nobody was in attend
ance but young clerk. This individual
on his entrance treated him with that
distant and flippant condescension which,
although it exists there, is. perhaps, less
a characteristic of the Partisan counter
jumper than his kind elsewhere.
The actor took in the youths mental
proportions at glance and said;
Il would like, if you please, a nice copy
Of Hugos complete works.
ave don't sell books here. This amt
no book shop. You're in hardware
store.
"Oh, well, I'm not very particular,
continued the player, pretending with an
excellent imitation of nature that he was
very deaf. 1t doesn't matter whether
bound in calf or morocco.
"But this is no bookstorei" shrieked
the attendant, getting red in the face.
Just 50, just SO, went on the come
dian. "Pack it up in your incest shape.
But would like TO write my name in it.
The young man gasped and fell back
against the counter. Then, with voice
that made the very nails in the door
rattle, he yelled:
"This-ain't-n no-book-STOREl"
%Oh, very well, then I'll wait, Of
course" and the actor quietly took q
chair.
The clerk choked another effort to
either burst a blood vessel or make some
impression ON the others tympanum, but
at that moment the proprietor entered.
@For heavens sake, Mr.. Chysel," he
cried excitedly, rushing toward him,
@hurry up. There's crazy man in here
and can't make him understand me-"
Mr.. Chysel approached the comedian
and in luired blandly:
@Can ] do anything for you, sir?n
Certainly you can. ] want a flea
common five inch rattail file, if you please.
You have them?"
Certainly"
The side look of whitening scorn the
proprietor gave the clerk was such that
for months afterward he dreamed he was
SO small that deaf customers were con-
tinually lifting him up and dropping him
through the eyes of needles.
