cious manner that at first he was puz-

air of attention. / astonished myself by

much champagne or something else to
be reasonable, and so, to be consistent,

led. We at last found ourselves in the
conservatory and were seated behind a
clump of palms when his conversation,
which was commonplace enough, had a
ring to it that sent the blood flying to
my face. His voice sank almost to a
whisper, giving me to understand how
miserable he had been in his later life
and how l could fill that gap of woe.
Now and then he would look up in my
face to see if there was any evidence of
sympathy that he thought should be
there.

SINCE YESTERDAY.

The mavis sang but yesterday
A strain that thrilled through autumni
dearth;
He read the music Of his lay
In light and leaf, and heaven and earth;
The windfowers by the wayside swung,
Words of the music that was sung.
In all his song the shade and sun
OF earth and heaven seemed to meet,
Its Joy and sorrow were as one,
It's very sadness was but sweet;
He sang Of summers yet to be.
You listened to his song with me.
Tho heart makes sunshine in the rain,
Or winter in the midst Of May,
And though the mavis sings again
His selfsame song Of yesterday,
find no gladness In his tone;
Today listen here alone.
And-even our sunniest moment taxes
Such shadows OF the bliss we knew
Today his throbbing song awakes
But wistfui, haunting thoughts of you:
Its very sweetness Is but sad,
You gave it all the Joy it had.

HIDING HER DIAMONDS.

Take n Lesson From tho Woman Who Put
Hers In Her Old Shoes.
A group of Washington women had
been telling each other where they hid
their treasures from possible thieves.
One used her pillowcase, second had
a pocket on her stocking, another the
lining Of her picture hat, when third
said she always tucked things in her old
shoes.
"Then ynn want take Warning from
the experience Of friend of mine. +"
said Mrs. Tarsney Of Missouri. "She
had beautiful diamond rings, ornaments,
earrings and other articles, and when an
epidemic Of burglaries came along she
took to hiding her diamonds in her old

by burglars down stairs She thought II

stairs, but the burglars kept ON and
didn't mind her in the least. She hur-
ried back into her room, caught up the
first articles that came handy and sent
them over the balusters. After they had
left her hand she was struck with horror
to discover her old shoes humping down
the stairs, attended by shower Of her
diamonds. Luckily the shoes did the
work. The burglars didn't stop to inves-

His Napkins and Even His Casters Carried
on by Customers.
1t was during the second half Of the
rush for dinner in a restaurant near
Washington market, where several thou
sands persons are fed daily, when great
clamor arose for napkins, and walters
rushed about gathering up what few
could be found ON the tables and distrib-
uting these, and others were dispatch
ed to the laundry for more. Henry, the
head waiter, went around meantime
trying to pacify the people, who were
angry and declaring that it was shame
that the house couldn't give man
napkin to wipe his mouth with. Some
customers fell back upon the time hon.
ored custom of the neighborhood and
used the corners Of the tablecloths In
lieu of the missing napkins.
Its curious and an annoying mat
ter how we run out Of napkins every
little while" said Henry. "You might
suppose that because they are Numbered
so frequently they disappear in the reg
ular way by wearing ont, but that Is
not true. You will seldom see napkins
in restaurant which show the effect OF
wear. They go because they are stolen.
This is true not only of such popular
restaurants as this, but also of every res
taurant in this city. Who takes them
do not know. All we know is that they
disappear regularly, and our SUPPOSE
ton is that some are carried of by peo-
pie who deliberately intend to steal
them and others by persons who put
them into their pockets by mistake. I
know one such person as this. It was
woman of undoubted honesty. but 1t
was joke among the members Of her
own family that she never dined at
hotel or restaurant without carrying OF
q napkin which she had unconsciously
stuffed into her pocket. We got IS dozen
big dinner napkins few weeks ago.
Within three weeks they had all disap-
peared but five dozen, and now there
| isn't one in the house.
Tableware goes in the same way
sometimes A little while ago we got
eight dozen of these salt and pepper cast
ers. Here Henry pointed to some neat
little cut glass casters with silver plated
tops. 1--WE put them on the tables dur
ing the time the wagon boys were COM
ing in here for breakfast last fall, just
before they would start out to sell their
days buyings on the streets. 'Hully
gee + they would say. That's q pretty
nice thing. guess I'll swipe 1t just for
luck-see?' And when they left every
day we would miss few casters. Five
dozen of them were lost within few
weeks New York Sun.

WAITING FOR A BANG

We had been staying in Wales for ever
so long-weeks and weeks--an awful
time it had seemed to me, drifting aim
lessly about, Maud and her husband
Maud is my sister, by the way, and
newly married-professing to be almost
as much ''gone on" the scenery as they
really were ON each other. So you can
easily guess what that meant for poor
me until George Joined us.

was George He did not quite "catch

nice, but apparently quite satisfied to
enjoy himself with us, and then go back
to work, as he playfully phrased it, "a
giant refreshed" and could not be got
to see that there was anything more
serious in life than aimlessly frivoling
about.
We had done Snowdon, and really

crowd, and all that, it was not hall
bad. Quite cheerful, you know, and
civilized. Indeed, never should have

After that, think--yes, it was

Not that any of us were at all interested
in states or quarries, only 1t was some
where to go and an excuse for drive.
George ordered the carriage and made
all the arrangements He had been
there before, so knew all about the
"show," as he said, and we left every.
thing to him.
Altogether it was SO stupid and sc
dull that, but for what Maud called the
