There was story of his careel

One night, going out Of Chicago, {

a berth was assigned him. Then he
kicked off his boots, which We're of sur.
prisiag length, turned into the berth,
and, having an Easy conscience, wa:
sleeping like Il healthy baby before the
Car lef, the depot. Along came another
passenger and paid his 80 cents. In two
minutes he was back at George Pull.
u
There's a man in that berth OF
mine" said he hotly, land he's about
ten feet high. How am l going to sleer
there, I'd like to know? Go and look ai
him"
In went Pullman-mad too. The
tall, lank mans knees were under hi.

until he awoke, and then told him il
he wanted the whole berth he would

Not . Pleasurnble Day.

The man was a wealthy and still
young northern squire, selfish and self
indulgent, childless, which was fortu-
nate, for he was unfit to play a fathers
part, and suddenly widowed. 1t was to
the funeral of the wife that my friend
was professionally invited. 1t had not
been q happy marriage. The man was
gloomy, not because OF the bereavement,
but because of the solemnity and seri-
BUSINESS it entailed.
He would have gone away If he had
dared and left her relatives to bury her.
He did not Lille them and swore be
would not be shut up in a carriage with
any one of them he would ride alone.
NO." said my friend, who had great
influence over him tas indeed he had
over most people with whom he was
brought into contact. "You must not
do that" There were good reasons why
he should not have gone alone. III you
will not go with your relatives, you
must 90 with the clergyman" 1.-THE
