Time passed; weeks, months had
come and gone since Mr.. Tilley was IL
rally forgiven. But this absolution
had no binding effect on his misdeeds.
He sinned again and again, after the
old fashion, and the last state OF the
man was worse than the first. One by
one respectable dodgers dropped off, re-
moving themselves and their possessions
to more peaceful quarters.
The frequent offender found no guild
ing hand stretched out upon the stairs
now, no oft-forgiying partner ready to
screen or excuse his misdemeanors.
He might stumble over dodgers boots
and coal-scuttles on every landing, and
fling cut wild curses in the small hours
OF the night as he listed, for no weeping
spouse would come forth to silence him
and lead him to his rest. Mr.. Tilley on
the departure OF dodgers was found be-
wailing the reduction of rent and the
preversity Of people who would not put
up with Z" a mans ways"
Melinda would have no hand In the
salvation OF her master, though her
cares for his children were altogether
motherly. for them she would patch
and darn and scrape; but as for him, be
was one of the hopeless black sheep,
not worthy Of any attention. Still,
with all his sins upon him, Mr.. Tflley
assumed airs Of proprietership and In
dependence. He even became a strong
advocate Of customary clearinghouse
principles. This Melinda would not
suffer at all. "You think as you're
agoin' to stick on a sxtry coal scuttel to
the Curick's bill and pints of milk
which q never 'ad. Not IL l knows it.
Mr.. Tilley! Him as is so kind as never
was TO them children of yours, and
gives 'em a meal many q time just for
the pleasure Of going without q dinner
hiSself." Here Mr.. Thley assumed q
warlike attitude. "0h, 1 Amt afraid OF
the likes of you'll There's the poker
nice and andy, and a bit o crockery on
the shelf. 'Adn't you better throw
them cups at my ed, and me ave you
I'D at the perlice csurtf for an ersault?"
concluded Melinda.
Subsequently, Mr.. Tiliey Gained
down and made an apology. He never
afterwards ventured to suggest any uu-
due augmentation OF trifles in the cur
ate's account. He, however, presented
his bills privately to other dodgers as
long as they endured.

Dramatic Little Incidents Connected with
the Reception of His Exact Fare.

Dramatic Little Incidents Connected with
the Reception of His Exact Fare.
Everybody who has lived in London
has witnessed the dramatic little Incl
dents connected with cabbv's reception
OF his exact fare. His hirer, having
allghted, stands on the pavement and
feels for his purse. Cabby meanwhile
leans over the railing of his seat with q
benignant and inGratiating smile. That
smile, it may be stated at once, Is q
fraud. 1t is not = genuine beam of good
nature, but il; ~, of cubby's business
"props." II i, :. smile of much mean-
ing, and cabby throws his whole soul
into it. 1t is trusting and confident. 1t
insinuates that cabby feels that he has
met in YOU !, man in whom he recog-
nizes peculiarly generous nature. 1t
means that cabby has no anxiety. He
knows that you are going to give him
something for himself.
But ms q matter of fact, if you watch
cabby closely, You will see the hollow
ness of its professions. Cabby's eyes are
very wide open. and he is scanning a
great deal more carefully than his fare
the little pile of silver that gentleman is
turning over in his hand Then he
stretches down his hand, broad and fat,
but trustingly, assured that he is about
to be treated rs man should be. The
fat palm ascends again, but as his fare
turns to depart, the smile dies away.
For moment, as if dazed, he gazes
blankly into his hand; then look of
mingled contempt and indignation passes
over his expressive face. He turns fierce
ly on his prey.
"Ere, wot's this?"
"Your fare" floats back to him.
my fare!' in tone of scathing scorn
tiny fare!'
Then rapidly and with businesslike
manner, as if the time for emotion were
passed now:
Gre, 'old ard; I wants another tan
ner."
BY this time his fare, if he knows any
thing at all about cabmen, is well under
way. Cabby, standing up, dashes the
offending shilling on the ground with
gesture of ineffable loathing, as at some
unclean thing. No good. His fare is
disappearing, unconcerned, and cabby,
convinced that the game is up, but loath
to relinquish his Indignation, slowly I'M
swathes himself from the folds of his
voluminous blanket, descends as slowly,
picks up the innocent shilling still more
slowly, mounts again, gathers up his
reins with one final blighting look be-
hind him and drives away, his face that
of man who never till that moment
had sounded the hideous depths of sor-
did human naturalization Sketch.

The following account Of ceremony
which was performed in Tucker county,

to show how solemn an affair the ques-

Mesalliance is always interesting
when it occurs outside of our own i'm

A man or woman sacrifices social in
stincts, bids defiance to conventions and
follows the simple promptings of the
heart and the results? Disagreeable to
those most nearly concerned, but fasci-
mating to the outside world There is
no subject SO fruitful for the novelist.

The writer, favorite living novelist,
had reached point in his story when ev-

to settle down to n deadly low level of

A friend, an experienced man of the
world, gave him word of advice: "In-
troduce mesalliance. That never fails
to enliven things" The novelist did SO,
