More Ways Than One.

A queer thing was noticed in the rear
of large hotel few nights ago. A
girl. evidently cham bermaid, had let
down bucket tied to Il tire-escape rope.
and from the window where she stood
the bucket just reached the window OF
the kitchen, even with the pavement.
The cook, or some of his assistants, fad
filled the bucket with chicken. ice
cream and other delicacies, and the
girl was just in the act of drawing il
up. 1t was dark and deserted and late.
and they were both apparently afraid
of anyone coming upon them suddenly.

hotel We're such that this feast could

When a woman loves man she lives

the thought of him. If she puts

seen wives lay aside their own prfer-
