She Felt Sure He Wasn't Worrying Abou
 Her.

"why is it that no woman can send a telegram that the receiver can under stand? I don't mean the advanced and bebloomered woman. hut the real femi- nine kind. the only kind worth know ing"
 Thus began Jarvis. with q fearful frown. He was in n quiet mood now, outwardly at least, but we who knew him saw that he had been grooming in- wardly over some unpleasant memory all through luncheon.
 My wife arrived home yesterday from her summer in the blue grass country" Jarvis continued. and her able and accomplished method of send ing telegrams gave me . fine lot of ex- ercise, to say nothing of worrying me half to death.
 ''She will telegraph me into an early grave For two weeks before she start ed for New York had been begging her to write me in full the name of the railroad on which she wO.ld travel and tho time, antomeridicm CT post merid- fem, that her train would arrive in Jer- sey City. Last year had to pay n cab man for n horse he had foundered gal loping for six hours between the three railroad stations at which she might ar rive. Why: Because she sent me this telegram:
 Will arrive $ o'clock. All we'll. With love to you.
 You catch the idea, don't you? She knew the hour and the railroad station which she would arrive. Ergo. should know it. The telegram was n mere for malify in, f. Y,,x- You know how q woman regards a tel egram: She knows that for 2J or 90 cents she can buy ten words, which the telegraph company must deliver tosomc- body somewhere. It is impossible for her to send more or less than just ten words
 'Of course she ignored my latest re- quest, to write the details of her home ward trip. got telegram day before yesterday morning from her father stat ing that she had left EminCnce, Ky, on the C. and O. railroad and would ar rive via the Pennsylvania at 6 o'clock the following evening. Can you imag- inc the shock felt three hours later on receiving this?
 LEXINGTON. Ky. To \. B. Janviz tnicc way to spell Jarvisl:
 Misssu connection. VIII arrlNc ntnC twenty from Wash'n. With love. KATE.
 That made just ten words, you see, so from the feminine point of view it was perfect. But how could tell where and when to meet her: was distract ed. What did the blamed thing mean, anyhow? Will arrive 9:2O:' That look ed simple enough until l filled out the puzzle this way. Will arrive on the train that starts from Washington at 9:2O.' Again. was it morning or cven- ing: And you remember how hot it was yesterday.
 Both my partners and the book keeper agreed on the theory that the train started from Washington at 9:2O ill the morning. But there was no such train in the Guidcbook. Our chief drum mer, who has lived for years in railroad trains. said a train left Washington about 9 o'clock in the evening. In de- spair l called on n railroad agent. and att,r long rendering hr advised me tu lN' It Jersey City at 20 minutes past q u'CiN'k that evening. Sure enough she arrive d um that train.
 " How haGEard You lUuk. dear" she ! remarked. 'lnu mustn't work sp hard. l know you couldn't have b,tn worrying about nr, for sent you such a busi. uCSslikc ft lvgraiu! !'-\cw York Herald.
