one evening, and found at the top
another tourist, an Englishman. They
chartered pleasantly for few minutes,
when suddenly the stranger seized Sir
Andrew by the shoulders, and said,
quietly, ~ am going to throw you
over" The man was maniac.
The physician had only moment in
which to gather his thoughts, but that
moment saved him. "Pooh," he re-
piled, unconcernedly, "anybody can
throw a man off the tower. If we
were on the ground, you could not
throw me up. That would be too diff
ficult." ayes, could" retorted the
maniac; ~ could easily throw you up
here from the ground. Let US 60
down, and I will do it," The descent
was accordingly made, during which
Sir Andrew managed to secure help
and release himself from his perilous
situation.

to agree that some other explanation OF
the rupture hsd better be given when ii
was pointed out to her that the actual
one would expose her, as well as her
dismissed suitor, to good deal Of heart

"That is all very WE'LL" observed
Miss Blanche quietly. "But both you
and Colonel Byng seem to forget, NAM

asked to display any. Now, mamma
you can please yourself about marrying
Colonel Byng. l don't see why you
shouldn't marry him if you like him,
and, after all, suppose most people are
bound to have false teeth at his age.

agreed to neither you nor Colonel Byng

The hall porter, who had been an in.
