seat In the train lady occupied the other
half OF the seat. Soc had bag anu
parcel. and after i had slowed the latter
in the rack overhead straightway forgot
all about her, as she was neither pretty
nor talkative. At the first station l sup.
pose she must have taken vacated seat
just behind me. An hour later 1 hap
pened TO look up and saw the parcel:
Great Scott" thought l, she's got Oh
and lefc that parcel"
just then the porter went by ana 1 ex-
planned 10 him that the lady had LETT the
car and her parcel aud he'd best take care
OF IT, He reached for the parcel and was
walking off with IL. when In very
audible tone-A sweet, low voice wouio
be at such IA time an excellent thing In
woman-she said, Herel you bri ng that

porter or felt the worse.
The great record as a bicycle rider
made by Willie Windle the other day re-
calls his first appearance as 'cyciist;
that is. the first time ever saw him: IL
was about five years ago. 1 was tneh
making copy on the Worcester Telegram,
and Windle was brought into the oifice
one night by half crazy chap who was
doing the Telegrdm's sports then. he

He was defeated pretty often, Dut he was

The servant was tempted TO remark
that it was none of her busines, when the
mistress of the house came TO the door
and found that the queer visitor really

The Mrs Campbell who has just been
caught smuggling pictures in New York
has, or used to have. a very unique decor
alton in her house In New York. Her
husband, divorced now, was IA wallpaper
maker Wall paper is printed from cylin-
ders on which are carved regular patterns
in low relief. These cylinders are large
or small according to the pattern. These,
when discarded. she used to fix up around
the sides Of her rooms The low relief of
the cylinders, painted In dark tones, give
almost the rich effect OF stamped leather.
