COUNTING FOR A HU sBAND.

A New Matrimonia Superstition which
Sometimes Works and Sometimes Does
Not.
Just as the train pulled up at Chel-
sea avenue station, Long Branch, a
very pretty girl darted forward togreet
a young man WHO stepped to the plat
form. Pleasure and triumph struggled
for possession of her bonnie face as she
grasped his extended hand and eX-
claimed:
"Thirty-one got eleven of them on
the drive to-day"
SIS that all?" returned her escort
"Sixty-four!'
"Sixty-four" shrieked the girl
where did You get them? You're real
mean; you said going up to town
wouldn't be much of an advantage to
you, as they weren't wearing them now
to any extent"
''Well, neither are they" said the
berated one. "The fact is, | met a
chowder party going out of town, and,
in accordance with the etiquette of such
occasions. they all wore EN-"
"Oh!" said the maid, what glorious
chance; and suppose you were glad. I"
mo, Lyle. ] was sorry you weren't
there. You know we must try to keep
even. certainly will not shake hands
with any other than yourself when my
number is complete. and it will be en-
barassing to say the least TO refuse
shaking any dainty little paws that
may be offered me. So you'd better
make haste" But the girl didn't hear
him. "Thirty-two, thirty-three, thir-
ty-four," she exclaimed. breathlessly.
''They just got in cab.'
"What is it all about?" ! asked my
sister, who was helping enjoy the
situation.
Il believe you are the only man in
Long Branch who don't know. It's
quite the latest thing in matrimonial
superstitions. You must count nine
tv nine white hats and four black ones
and you are sure to marry the first per-
son of the opposite sex with whom You
shake hands-the first eligible person |
mean. of course, if | happen to meet
the ragman first the charm does not
hold good.
Whereupon l grinned maliciously
and said: II always knew you were a
friendly soul. Grace. but do you shake
hands with the ragnan ?"-N. Y. Her

Barnicott regarded her suspicicusly

Now. Capt. Barnicott was tifty-nine

Ever since his wife could remember
him he had been accustomed to go
straight upstairs and wash his hand
when he came back from tAa mihe;
and she in the meanwhile had seen TO

her great amazcment, he called down
the passage As he entered: Bring in
the tea at once. Mary" and made no
movement towards his bedroom. lie
Immediately began to talk To his wife:
and this was siuCulaTly unfortunate,
for she Was almost beside herself with
longing u quit the room and have a
word with Mary. Also 10 that perple "
ing look which she had already Oh
served upon her husbands face ere
was now added a very evident sus-

morning in half-a-score of families,
and with a remarkable accuracy of de-
tail. When at last she had come into
the street where her son lived, Mrs.
Barnicott was even more painfully
conscious of her daring. The street
had been forbidden ground to her
since the time of Dicks marriage, and
that seemed to be an event of many
years ago. She felt almost a stranger
in this part of the town, and as she
passed along the street took careful
note of the numbers on the doors.
though she might have identified
Dicks house without any difficulty
from the descriptions which had been
brought to her of its immaculate
whitewash, the gay green paint of the
door and window-frames. and the
beauty of the pelargoniums within.
She stood at the door and heard
voices family from inside. She was
half inclined to retreat But the inn
petus of her original resolve was too
great to be overcome by any slight
obstacle. She knocked at the door
very gently; then raised the latch and
entered.
a moment later she would have
turned and fled. had the power to do
so remained with her, for she had rec
ognized her husbands voice. And
while she stood as if paralyzed her
son came forward in his shirt-slee YES
and drew her into the room, his face
radiant.
Come in, mother" he said, as he
bent down and kissed her
But her amazement only grew deep
er. Old Cap'n Barnicott was sitting
ia a corner OF the room near the win
dow, tiny baby held clumsily in his
arms. For Que moment he glanced at
his wife with something of the old i'm
periousness. Then, before she could
attempt to Justify her tlagrant dis
obedience, a rather foolish smile took
possession of his face. 1t fed, and he
raised a finger warningly.
Now, hush," he said. Now, hold
tina tongue, do! Mary Jane is sleep

spoiis the child outrageously, and that
he. the autocrat. finds himself no bet

house that morning, ! was fully in
tending to go up TO Tregollan as usual
But there, it only shows the little vag-
abone could always do what he had a
mind to with me from the hour that
he was bora"
l am told, also, that Mary Jane has
only less influence with the old man
than her little son. And even his wife
begins to have an opinion of her own
on some few subjects of absolute I'M
Importance Black and White.

shortly after midnight, when he met a
policeman.
Good evening. Mr.. Officer" he sa.
luted politely; Its a pleasant night to
be out"
quite So replied the officer, cycling
him suspicious!y.
Il presume you are out every night,
aren't you?"

little closer to him.
"All night?" asked the passenger.
"All night"

my wife, and / suppose if | stayed out

you are a policeman. Good night, and
the intruder hurried on, leaving the
policeman in state of great uncer-
tainty. Detroit Free Press.
