A NATURAL MISTAKE.
The Barber Was Unwlttingly Mt Work on 9

The Barber Was Unwittingly at Work ON
New Woman.
The barber was talkative like others
Of his kind. but the patron strangely
reserved. a5isg1 fdA
"Hair cut?" asked the barber.
The patron merely nodded.
The barber made one or two ineffect-
ual attempts to start conversation,
and then settled down to his work in
silence. For nearly five minutes moth
ing was heard but the clicking of the
shears, but the effort to be quiet was
too great. sH f
Funny about these Sunday ball
games" he suggested at last
The patron said "Yes2" in an inquir-
ing, careless sort OF way. gi
Il don't believe they can stop the
games, thought persisted the barber.
The patron didn't seem to be inter-
ested, SO the barber tried new tack.
''Corbett's doing an awful lot Of
talking, it seems to me-" he said.
The patron nodded. mf,af

suggested in the hope of striking some
thing that might interest the patron,
but the latter only said: Il suppose
so."
II believe in q Sunday barber-shop

minute or two later; but ! suppose
even that works hardships."
The patron intimated that it might.
IF man wants shave on Sunday
he wants it real bad" -
The patron did not seem to be inter
ested, SO the barber gave it up. He
yanked the apron off, shook it, and as
he started to put 1t around the patrons
neck again he asked in business-like
way: 81"

"Sir!" exclaimed the patron, indig.

That evening was but the forerunner
of many similar Scarce day passed
without Austin Marshall contriving to
spend some time with the deformed
m usician. And as the days lapsed into
weeks, and the weeks into months, it
was noted that when Ida played alone
her airs were more roman tic than be-
fore. And even her unmusical family
became infected with their gayety; her
mother (who frequently alleged she
could enjoy good music as much rs
anyone--if she could only get IT. was
cheered to the verge Of joyful anticipa-
tion, For who knew that Ida might
not attain the supreme height, OF in
spring dance-music, such as her
mother loved, and abandon forever

But when the old doctor noticed the
change he shook his head in apprehen-
