"sHE SAYS. SIR. SUES OUT.

ohh pAlDs 0lh1 she . JUL
I'm not one of them kind that goes in
for lynn, and so to make things smoother
for you and save you the time, tell you
the truth, sir. don't think there is much
use of your ever comin' again; when l
took in your card, says she That bother
some fooln And says l, AT least he is
the better of you, he's man. which, sir,
you might think was a liberty for me to
say that, but l concluded it by your name,
and, sir, there is many fine woman who
would be glad to see you and take my ad-
vice, and don't fiddle away the precious
moments a runnin' after a skinny thing
like her. " 1t is quite unnecessary to say
that the man never came again, and that
am told he dislikes me.
Still this wasn't the worst of Angel-oh's
truth-telling. There are always little
things in a household that it is wiser to
keep from a man; there is no necessity to
entertain him with the little irrigations
the little worries, and the troubles that
are purely feminine. 1t dawned on me
one day that the masculine element
seemed to know great deal about the
household affairs. Then | noticed that
Angel-oh managed to slip into his room
presumably to fix the fire just before din
ner. One night paid a visit near the
door a the same time-that is to say, l
meanly listened. This was the dialogue
Masculine Elemental, Angelo, fixing
up the fire, Ell, How has the house been
today
Angel-oh; "Wen, sir. there have been
the usual troubles; the missis and the
butcher had a set-to, and if you have got
anythin' for your dinner tonight you may
thank me for it, because | talked to the
butcher and made him see with me own
eyes that ii wasn't worth while listening
to the complaints of woman, and to send
us a good leg of mutton for me own sake.

there was two ladies to luncheon, and
though the cook said it was claret they
had to drink, l have my doubts. And
later in the day two men came. MisSiS
and the baby went out with them, and
God in his goodness only knows where
they went, for l didn't like to follow
them
When I heard this, must confess l felt
as if l
WOULD LIKE TO BOX ANGEL-OH's EARS
AS for the masculine element, deter
mined to make it unnecessary for listen
ing to him. So, when at the dinner table
it said, ANY company to-day, dear" |
looked at ii in the way that Onlya woman
can look when she wants to lie and said,
None at ALL 1t kept quiet after that,
but when the fish came in, with the same
air of studied unconcern, it inquired, Did
you get letter from the South2N And
smiled back and answered, mo, the post
man quite neglected us" Then it looked
at me sternly, and said, mo visitors
And no letters}" And I looked back,
and with an independence that would
have been impossible if had been speak
ing to Angel-oh, said, None that con-
| Germs YOU
And after that it went to its club, and
/ to see Angel-oh. He was in the kitchen,
sitting in the cook own chair, writing a
letter. little dreamed then what that
letter was, out l started in to give him a
| good talking to about carrying tales.
! w ich talking TO was interrupted by his
saying, 81 knows me duty, Miss, to the
gentlemen of the house. Let us not dis
! cuss that which is unpleasant to YOU, but
which it were only right for me us man
to man to refer to-
The next morning breakfast time passed =,
market time came, but there was no sign
of Angel-oh. Suddenly the cook remem-
| bered the letter, and said that he took it
in and laid it on my desk There it was.
! Angel-oh had done me the courtesy of
! using my best paper, and this was the
! letter he had written TO me who had been
his true friend.
MlCHAEL's FRANK LETTER.
Ma 'am-which il were not being
| truthful TO put before that title an en-
| dearin' word, for you have been but a
