In downtown barber shop is en-

act as general utility man in the winter
Having nothing else to occupy his mind,
he has developed wonderful faculty
for relating marvellous stories. He bids
fair in time to outrival Joe Mulhattan
and several others who have become
noted as prevaricators. His talent in
this direction is so marked. indeed, as to
astonish the patrons of the shop, whom
ne never fails to regafe with one of his
choicest selections.
The other afternoon gentleman who
was in hurry to catch the train took a

Smith northumberland Wayne heard
him greet lady-Mrs. Graham.
She was prettier than ever face to
face, and her great fur cloak enhanced
her loneliness. Her husband stood be-
side her. and WAYNE was forced to I'd
init that he was tine-lOOking. in spite of
his instructive dislike. Then suddenly
Wayne found himself presented TO his
heroine of the evening, and was vouch-

the roses she carried. and he thought
she flushed slightly, but it might have
been mistake. Anyhow she did not
recognize him.

surged between them, and she was
gone.
