tion," thought the happy Mrs Grimes
as she came slowly up the street, think
ing of Grimes in the library in the
glory of his life work.
The sight of the clubhouse recalled
the image of the slothful and purpose
less companion Of her an te-widowhood.
Her cheeks flushed prettily with pride
at the thought of her present husband
in the throes of realizing great am
bition.
She could not forbear CHANGING into
the window, for a passing glimpse of
the vacant chair
There was the inert and dreamful
pulp of Grimes in an attitude so hate
fully familiar to her that he might
have inherited it from his predecessor,
by special Intervention of Providence.
Did the widow pass by to the other
side and hide her grief9 Not that she
knew of! And not that Grimes knew of!
She entered the club and laid her
hand upon his shoulder He started
guiltlly. Their eyes met
My dear, she said, in tone of voice
that he had not been introduced to, 81

work. When you are through with it

Then she vanished
OF course, Grimes explained it in the
evening; she cried and forgave. and
they made it all up.
But it was some time before Grimes
again referred TO his life work. Neither
dio he go to the bosom of nature for
inspiration, nor drop into the sunny
corner of the club to get the clew to an
elusive idea He simply sawed wood
at his desk
And when she picked up a magazine
and caught sight of his name at the
end of a satirical story entitled "His
Life Work." she laughed and wept
and kissed him all in one breath. =

HIS APPETITE SATISFIED.
Unconsciously Abnormal Demand of
Drunken Man for Food.


He was drunk and hungry, so drunk
in fact that it was not the easiest thing
in the world for him to assuage the
pangs of incipient starvation. But he
stuck manfully to the task and in three
quarters of an hour managed to demol-
ish u porterhousc steak about one foot
square. Then he took a drink and or.
dered lobster salad This also went
the way of the steak and was followed
in order by one p.ece of pie, an order
OF brie cheese. a cup of coffee and a
swallow small one--of water Then
he blinked sagely at the waiter and
said:
"Brngmeb'll."
1t was something of task for the
man who was still long way from be.
ing sober and apparently just as far
from being hungry, to walk up to the
| cashier and settle. But he did SO and
started for the door The Tar was be-
tween him and exit and he hauled up

but futile efforts to capture the cherry,
he inquired of the barkeeper;
"Mndy err TT-T-shday?"
Tuesdays about three hours old"
A look of horror came into his eyes
and he said, "G-Scott Amt had thing

| Then he turned, walked back into
the restaurant, and sat down at the
table he just vacated
"N hat-yer-got-fell'n. M hungry"
The waiter gazed at him a moment
and then suggested hominy.
