that the nearest one ever comes in

could imagine the angels hiding their
faces when this foolish woman signed
her name to that fatal paper. 1t was
a foregone conclusion with everybody
who knew about it that she would new
er be able to pay the mortgage, and
that she had yielded to weak and sill
ly love of display and the importantly
of an interested party, for the man who
loaned her the money had long wanted
the place.
las matter of course, he would
give her no grace, and when the time
came, she was homeless. 1t is better
to forego everything in the way of dis
play than to make mistake of thi!
sort Far better would it have been il

folly the home was lost to them forever

GENUS EXTRAORDINARY.

Hicks is truly wondrous wight, whose likes
not often met;
A man of gifts so varied that they've brought
him but regret:
Whose work so full of power was it brought
about his fall,
So that to-day he sits and tlares not use his
mind at all,
He wrote farce so funny that all those who
went to see
Did simply die there in their seats from sheer
hilarity;
And so, Of course, Hicks had to take his play
from off the boards,
Lest In the future he received a murderers re-
wards.
"The novel is the thing for me-" he said, and
Before his desk and penned tale that captured
But 1t was such brilliant tale, so dazzling
bright indeed
1t blinded with It's splendor every one who tried
to read.
He turned his mind to music; wrote waltz
folks we're entranced;
But when twas played-oh, scandalous!-the
bishop, even, danced
And once an orchestra of ten, while playing at
a hop
Got so infatuated with his notes they really
couldn't stop,
Then painting Hicks took up. Alas So potent
was his brush
That men were trampled down and MANNED by
others in the rush
Who'd gone to gape and hence it is-at least
so rumor saith
That Hicks now dares do naught at all but SIT
and wait for death.

anything dishonest or ungentlemanly,
or that could even be openly criticised;
only the club had not quite approved
their course in certain matters, deem
ing it not up to the high standard by
which, individually and collectively,
1t sought to be governed. 1t was jeal-
GUS of its reputation in this respect,
and the mere suspicion that the con-
duct of any member could bring dis
credit upon it was sufficient to make
him feel heavily its disapproval.
One of these men had attracted my
attention to such degree that the
Beau could not help perceiving my Gu
riosity, and, one night, he set himself
rather grudgingly-to the task of
gratifying it, This mans name was
Richardson, and he was common
enough looking fellow, had it not been
for certain likeness to dead man,
which one could not help seeing in
his face.
Let us find as cheerful place as
we can" said the Beau, ''for the tale
is grewsome enough"
So we drew our chairs in front of the
wood fire that sparkled and snapped in
one of the little, quiet, smoking rooms,
Then the Beau called to the steward to
bring us some good brandy.
Its cold night outside" he said,
land this is a cold story. Let us for,
tify ourselves"
After we had fortified, the Beau sanl,
into deep study for little. Then he
reached forward and poked at the fire
so that it blazed up more brightly.
Have you ever noticed" he asked
suddenly, "how ones face and manner
may grow into resemblance of some
other one with whom he is much in
close companionship? How husband
and wife, for instance, may grow tC
look and act, and even think, alike
That is what we call family likeness
the members of one household grow
ing constantly to resemble each Other
in feature and action. Now note" ht
continued, not waiting for me t
answer, that the strongest face, the
strongest personality, in such case
always dominates the other. A veal
face will grow stronger; but strong
face will never grow weaker from thi
contact.
That man Richardson, whose fac,

1t was crime agoinst his own man

The Beau paused and swallowed a
glassful of the brandy.
II don't like the story" he said; lit
leaves bad taste in the mouth. An
uncle died, whose heir Richardson was
very certain he should be. But it seems
the uncle was none too fond of him,
believing the fellow deficient in GER
tain manly attributes by which she old
man set great store, mean by this,
the uncle thought the nephew cow
ard. There was some one else in ques-
ton, too; PARKWAY niece, or cousin,
or something. But the old man seemed
to think it would be only right to give
the one who was nearest him in blood
chance for the money. And he did it. y
There was grim smile about my
friends mouth at this, and l waited
anxiously for the next words.
