Through the window Dinny saw Mary
Carnahan go by; and she looked at him,
but did not bow or smile.
In spite of the consolat ton it gave him
to plant the seeds of dissenslon be-
tween father and son, Dinny's cup Of
trouble was very nearly full. He could
only buy ice by sending an express
wagOn-and the money-after it..
Though he never defaulted a payment,
he was refused credit at the cigar
mans, and the other wholesalers in
formed him they understood he was
against the alderman.
That functionary came in one after
noon and asked Dinny what he had
done to help Spieshoffer on the COM
mittee.
Not turn" was the defiant reply.
That evening a new policeman came
on the beat, and he came in and told
Dinny if he didn't quit running dis
orderly house the doors would be closed
against him.
"And never dhrunk nor noisy man
in me place." groaned Dinny.
At midnight he escaped arrest by the
narrowest, for after he locked the place
and was looking about him another
officer came along and addressed him:
Now, don't be standin' around there
and drummin' up customers. It's mid
night and time for you 10 90 home"
To his great surprise Dinny simply
whlstled, and went obediently down
the street.
In the morning the aldermans son
came in rather early and lighted a ci-
garette.
"What'll you take for the place, Din
n.y." he asked.
"And what'll ye give?"
1.-TWO hundred dollars"
Dinny calmly hammered glass on
the bar till he broke it, and then as
calmly asked:
do you want to see me sales for the
past mont'-and the ward agln me,
too"
well, what is the place worth to
you"
"Oh, I'm don' fairly well. I'm goin'

"AND WHO BOUGHT IT?'

But the alderman persuaded Dinny not
TO appear and prosecute when the case
came up in the morning, and he had to
pocket the loss and grin as If he enjoy
ed 1t when the court told the prisoner
to 20. 1t was not specially consoling
to him to learn later that the fellow
was quite valuable in the service of
Spleshotler, and was an excellent man
at the primaries. not to speak of his ac-
complishments on election day.
Then the brewer who had backed"
the saloon since the beginning Of Ben
McGraw's reign sent word that Dinny
would have to look out for himself in
the future, and the iceman ANNOYED
him with the statement that he could
have no more crystal cubes from the
Laketon Company, and when he told
them to sit on the Ice till he asked for
1t, and went to the rival houses, he
found them consumed with Inertia,
and ne concluded they understood each
other.
the spirits man dropped down at a
most lnopportune time, and just about
took all the money Dinny had, and then
the alderman's son came in and asked
how was business.
Its good" said Dinny. 81 make

NO"
"a tell you he do be after him"
Then we'll have to kill Spieshoffer

You can't do II while I'm running
this place" said the proprietor, with
great show Of loyalty to his friends.
The alderman's son made no reply, but
he was more pacific In his intercourse
with Dinny. He seemed to think this
was a man to cultlvate-or remove.

show, and watch which he treated as
a common thing in spite of its jeweled
case and intricate monogram. He
brought friend or two with him, and
they seemed to like the quiet of Dinny's
place and to be willing to pay for it.
Next day he came again, with an add
ed companion or two, for he had no
need of working. And when he came
the third day he got quite chatty with
Dinny while waiting for his friends.
And Dinny learned he was laying pipes
for the appointment of a certain man
to the judgeship.
He's the son of his father, all right"
SAID Dinny as he rinsed the glasses and
wondered II the Reuben had found a
buyer for the horse or had driven it
out into the country, where they both
belonged.
Quite a number of persons talked
with Dinny about supporting Spies
hotter for committeeman, and he had
not specially warmed to the aldermans
conceptions of his duty. So about noon
a man came In and told him the license
was due. And he paid it and took a re-
ceipt, which he found in half an hour
was the emanation of a weight un-
known at the City Hall-one who had
no more authority for collecting money
than he had for claiming to be honest.
Dinny met this genius at the depot In
Intervening, but the policeman wouldn't
arrest him, so Dinny followed to an
other beat, and himself arrested him.

A Lion Antelope Fight,

In his recently published book on the
Game Fields Of the Transvaal" Mr.
F. V. Kirby describes a battle, wit
messed by him, between a lion and q
sable antelope, which resulted in the
death Of both of the combatans. Al.
first sight it may appear surprising
that an antelope could kill lion, but
the sable antelope of South Africa is q
powerful animal armed with strong,
sharp horns.

ror shattered, the furniture wrecked
and the glasses strewn over the floor in
glittering confusion. The revelers grew
wanton in their success, and pushed
one another through the windows, un-
hinged door and set it up as gang
plank from the bar to the pavement.
And then they turned out the gas and
left-just before the arrival of Il judi
cious officer, who knew who was alder
man of this ward and who his friends
were, night or day.
In the morning the alderman came
along and noted the complacent figure
of Dinny, sitting cross-legged on the
floor of an express wagon across the
way. He also saw his son among the
fellows in the wrecked saloon, and
noted that the heir Of his house was ju-
bilantly disposed. He mistoOk it for the
cheer of vandalism, instead Of the stole
disregard of misfortune which marks
the youth of opulence, and he rather
gloried to know that his dilletante son
had blossomed into anything so vigor-
Gus. He noted. too, the banner, on the
wall, and, deeply appreciating the quail
ity of what he supposed was Dinny's
wit, turned to that gentleman and
thought to be merry with him.

The alderman grew more serious.
Maybe he had not punished Dinny af-
ter all.
"And who bought it?"
"Your son down there" indicating
the polished proprietor Of the ruin.
"My son, Cornelius"
"No less" said Dinny, and uncurled
his legs from the bed of the express
wagon.
1t was an even thing for the first
three minutes. And after that the cab
mans activity prevailed over the alder
mans adipose tissue, and Dinny rose
victorious in time to dive through the
crowd from the advancing policeman.
The alderman was hustled into drug
store, where surgeon visited him, and
hours after carriage took him home.
In the afternoon Dinny and Mary
Carnahan went to the matinee and saw
Herr Spieshoffer standing across the
street, reading the sign:
This Place Has Changed Hands:
San Francisco Post.

Worlds Oldest Family.

AS result of recent investigation it
has been shown that the foundation of
the families Of about dozen of the
400 baronS in the British House of
Lords dates back to 400, the earliest
being 1864. The oldest family of the
British Isles is the Mar family of Scot
land, 1893. The Campbells of Argyll
began in 1190. Tallyrand dates from
ll99, Bismarck from 1910, the Grosve-
nor family, the Dukes of Westminster.
1866. The Austrian house of Haps-
burg goes back to 952, and the house
of Bourbon to S64. The descendants
of Mohammed, born so, are all regis
tered carefully, and authoritatively in
a book kept in Mecca by the chief Of
the family. Little or no doubt exists
OF the absolute authenticity of the long
line of Mohammed's descendants.

GEORGE HENRY LEWEs.

How Mrs. Lynn Linton Describes Him.
 Lewes was a singularly plain man, deeply pitted with the smallpox, with narrow jaws and somewhat drawn-in checks He had bright vivacious and Well-shaped eyes, a quantity of bright brown hair, and a flexible mouth of singular moistness. He was the first of the audacious men of my acquaintance, and about the most extreme. He had neither shame nor reticence in his choice of subjects, but would discourse on the most delicate matters of physi- loogy with no more perception that he was transgressing the bounds of pro- priety than if he had been a learned savage I heard more startling things from Lewes, in full conclave of young and old, married and single, men and women, than I had ever dreamed of or heard hinted at before And I know that men complained of his after-dn- ner talk and anecdotes as being beyond the license accorded to or taken by even the boldeSt takers of the mess table and the club smoking-roem He did not go so far as this in public, but he went very far; and to a young girl, fresh from 2 country life where the faint echoes of ''plums, prunes and prisms" still fingered. it was all em- barrassing and shocking" enough.
 His manners, too, were as free as his talk. It was said of another notable man in his day that his way of shak- ing hands suggested the divorce court; and the same might be said of Lewes' manners to the women he liked and was intimate with. I myself was at Mrs. Milner Gibson's when he shouted
