gives tight rope and an empty spool

spool with slack rope, which reduces
the power and damages the rope by
winding tight coils over loose coils.
The rope is not fastened to the spool

This happened in one Of those quiet. SOM
nolent restaurants where the best Of every
thing is kept and the patrons linger over
their demi-tasse for an hour or more think
ing over the joys of life. Monsieur. who
owns the place. but is now so wealthy that
he remains at home and lets his sons run
things, came there the other evening with
madame. Most of the guests knew him;
those that did not might easily have guess
ed who they were from the sudden activity
of all the walters.
'Gaspardr'
The star waiter was about to turn one
somersault which would have landed him
at his employers table. when the latter
closed his eyes In a significant way.
''Oui m'sieu!' said Gaspard. He rushed
to the bar and began to crack a lump OF
ice into infinitesimal pieces. Wondering
what epicurean drink monsieur had ordered,
most of the guests watched Gaspard with
considerable interest When he had chop
ped the Zee sufficiently fine he filled two
claret glasses with it, packing IL tight In
three steps he at monsieur's table,
where he placed one glass OF ice before
madame and the other before monsieur.
Each bowed politely and began to turn the
glass around by the stem.
Gaspard rushed to the dumb waiter which
leads to the wine cellar and shouted:
"Une bouteille. nuinero troi cent qua va
six,"
The guests wondered what Il was that
Gaspard had called for. What happiness
IT must be. they thought. to be the proprie-
tor of such a restaurant, One had only to
nod ones head and the rarest of wines
would be brought forth 10y walters whose
dexterity and celebrity were heavenly. Prob
ably Gaspard would bring monsieur a dust
covered, cobwebbd bottle. filled with some
rare Chambertin or Clos de Nougeot. Or
perhaps il would be some extra fine vint-
age OF champagne or sparkling Moselle.
But conjecture was cut short by the
rumbling of the ascending dumb waiter.
Gaspard returned to monsieurs table. took
the two glasses. and poured the ice upon
a plate. He then brought forward a small
bottle. wiped IL with the utmost care. drew
the cork most gingerly. and then slowly
and carefully filled the two glasses with
beer.
Monsieur and madame slipped the beeG
slowly and with great relish.
