He sank into chair and folded his arms
on his breast Hardly had he done this
when the ticker began again. He read the
message, and then, as the clicking stopped,
he bowed his head on his hands and sobbed
aloud. The message was: 'Have stopped

this: Dorrie, did you ever know that your
mother and my father were lovers once? Yes,
your mother was the prospective Mrs. Ken!
once, but for some unaccountable reason she
broke the engagement. That reason was that
she found that her dearly beloved friend, Dor
othy Dean-my mother-loved him also. My
mothers father was in some great financial
trouble at the time, and his cares would be re-
lieved by rich marriage. Dorothy, your
mother knew this and gave up her love for her
friends sake. No@bhe guessed it. She never
mentioned it TO any one, but my mother knew
still. Dorrie, you can, you must, guess the rest.

Tricks of LANGUAGE.

Cunning in the use of language to give
false impressions is Yankee trick cele-
Grated in song and story. Many instances
Of its'use come to light in the testimony
given in courts An illustration of such
dishonest craftiness is related by Maine
gentleman. A man came to him wanting
him to buy share in country lottery in
which the principal prize was horse. ''I'll
take one" he said, IF you'll warrant me
1 shall draw the horse" ''Oh, yes" said
the seller glibly, pocketing the cash. 'I'll
warrant you to get the horse" The horse
went in another direction, and the ticket
holder, meeting the seller, said jokingly, Il
thought you warranted me to draw that
horse" "Oh, no" said the other shrewd-
liz, II did not say warrant, but want l
siIid I wanted you to get the horse, and
did. "-Bangor Con~nercial

Both Sides Alike.

more, got up, sat down again on the other

change of position, have your"

A Story Of London Tower Clock.

II can remember the old clock in the
steeple of the Church of ST. Magnus i'll
London just as well as if I only saw it YES
terday. although it is so years since left
London, said Thomas f. Anderson at the
Laclede. "There was an interesting history
attached to tAOt old clock. Along about
the latter part of the seventeenth century
Thomas Duncombe, afterward Sir Thomas
Duncombe and lord mayor of London, had
to wait for his master on the bridge, and
time and time again he was puzzled to
know the time 1t was while waiting there
one bitter cold night that he made reso-
luton that if he was ever able he would
put a clock in that steeple, SO that other
people would not have to worry as he did.
He prospered in life and kept his word,
and that old clock has been in that steeplo
now for nearly $50 years, and it is keeping
time yet for the whole neighborhood OF

Where Colonies Congregate.

Many of our older hotels gain renown
through association with particular classes
of men who frequent them. In this way
the National has come to be known as a typ
ical ancient southern hotel, noted for the
number Of it's guests who possess titles,
military or civil. "Iwas conversing with a
military friend recently in the lobby of the
National" said Senator Dubois, when he
left me- moving but few PAGES away to
converse with a mutual acquaintance. The
lobby was well filled at the time. Desiri: =
to speak with my friend, called to him,
oh, I say, c"lonelp and do you know II
men stepped up."-Kate Fields Washing

THE ORDERLY.

The sergeant majors were awaiting the
colonels arrival. Not word was breathed,
for tho air seemed charged with electricity.
The fact is the great chiefs orderly had
been imprisoned the evening before (no one
knew why, and the commandment himself
appeared anxious.
Some alleged that Private I4oumy the
colonel's orderly, full of solicitude for his
superior, had thought it Il part of his duty
TO taste the wine before serving it at table.
Others, with more elevated ideas, gravely
Sssrn4ae@ wat the orderly had abused his
masters confidence and betrayed France by
divulging to Germany certain secret plans
Of attack.
Suddenly each one stood up, examined
the position of his i4ct, curled his mustache
and began to assume the most complete i'm
mobility; the clock had just struck g. the
exact moment when the colonel usually APP
peared at the door of the guardhouse
But on that day he did not arrive until a
quarter of an hour after the usual time,
and then dictated more calmly than usual
this simple line:
Nothing new today, comma; the band
will be dispensed with; full stop. That will
do"
The astonishment was such that it de-
generated into positive fear. Assuredly the
affair must be serious since the colonel had
shown such cOmpOsurc; there could be no
doubt that the country was in danger
through the faithlessness, nay, the treason,
of the colonels orderly.
Each one withdrew, without daring to
look behind him for fear of being accused.
The commagdant, Toulouret, bravest of
the brave, alone remained ready to support
the shock. Stirring neither head nor foot,
he stood motionless near the colonel who
was signing some papers,
my orderly has placed me in Il most
awkward position" suddenly said the great
chief
Undoubtedly, colonel, it is a very seri-
Gus matter"
What, then, you knows"
"Oh, no, colonel, not at allP' quickly re-
piled Toulouret, who feared to be taken for
an accomplice.
"Well, just imagine, this booby-by the
