you?'"
The girl looked down for moment
and then, though she blushed deeply,
she gazed at him with her lovely 5lue
eyes and said:
Eyes, Mr.. Fry, felt sure you would
say something soon"
Josiah looked radiant. It was
strange how Elias words pleased him,
and yet they were not like those he
should have expected from a Quaker
maid. Still it was delightful to think
how she had understood him. and no
one could be more charming or more
sweet.
"Then thou art not afraid to trust
me? Thou thinkest 1 shall suit thee 2"
he said gayly.
EYES," she answered. "I know it.
They used to tell me you were cold and
hard, but did not believe it then, and
now / laugh when think of it, for
have learned to love YOU"
She accompanied her words with a
little squeeze of his brawny hand, which
she then raised to her lips and kissed.
Josiah felt his blood coursing .nadly
through his veins. He was delighted
to find himself so beloved, and. though
he was distinctly being courted by this
young maid, it was SO sweet to him
that his sense of the proprietics was in
no way shocked.
"But, my dear. thou knowest am
five and forty and sometimes cross and
grabbed"
"That's nothing" laughed Ella. II

with your beautiful gray hair AMI your
straight, tall figure. You will be love-
Iy old man. and shall be prouder than
ever of you.

The prince of small German state,
whose ambition it was to crafty, If
only on small scale, had invited a
number of gentlemen to go on a deer
stalking expedition. Everything prom
ised well. The weather was superb,
and the whole company was in the
best of spirits, when the head forester
approached the petty monarch and lift
ing his green cap, said in a faltering
tones: "Your highness, there can be
no hunting today" "Why not?" came
the stern rejoinder. "Alas, your high
ness, one of the stays took fright at
the sight of SO many people and has
escaped to the adjoining territory, and
the other stag has been i'll since yes
terday. But your highness must not
be angry-it is most likely nothing
worse than a bad cold. We have given
it some herb tea and hope to get it on
it's legs again in few days. ."-Zitaner

A poor man succeeded in gaining ad
mission to the presence of the wealthy
Baron Rapineau, to whom he told the
narrowing story of his misfortunes and
his destitution in such eloquent terms
that the baron, moved to pity and with
tears in his eyes and voice broken with
sobs, said in faltering accents to his
servant: Jean, turn the poor fellow
out. He breaks my heart."-Le Chron-
ique.

One Of the lady residents of Hall

regularly left on the front steps and
when she looked for it, it was missing.
Early last evening she saw the news
boy leave the paper and took 1T inside
and put back number out in the steps
and waited near the door for further
developments A few minutes later O
boy came around the corner and stole
quietly up on the steps and seized the
paper. At the same time the lady open
ed the door and attempted to seize the
youthful newspaper thief, but was not
successful, as he slipped from her and
ran like deer, but not before he was
recognized. There is a probability that
the boy will be taught lesson before
the matter is dropped, as there has
been too much pilfering of newspapers
from doorsteps and it should be stop

DEATH OF BRAKEMAN ANTON.
"lMISS FRANCIS OF YALE."

Michael Morton's new farce, Miss
Francis of Yale" scored great hit at
the Hyperion last night. The piece was
put on at the Manhattan theater in
New York a few weeks ago and was
speedily withdrawn because it did not
succeed in pleasing metropolitan taste
Its very favorable reception here last
evening came, therefore, as somewhat
Of surprise. For, whatever may be
said of the tone of the piece, it certainly
aroused hearty and continuous laugh
ter. This was largely due to the efforts
of Mr.. Etienne Giradot, who by the
same peculiar methods employed in
"Charley's Aunt" contrived to keep the
audience in good humor throughout the
three acts. Mr. Giradot has certain
tatlent for drollery and there seems to
be no limit to his ability for horse-play
and it is hoped that sometime he can
employ these faculties in the expIoita-
ton Of less unpleasant theme How
ever funny the complications arising
from case Of mistaken sex may be the
theme itself must always prove unpal-
atab]e to persons of taste. This fault
is more pronounced in the present piece
than in "Charley's Aunt And it is
surely unkind to connect such freak
ish personality with Yale, however well
it may serve as an advertisement. The
college men, who We're present in large
numbers, took the joke in good part and
gave the cheer at the close. The cast
was quite competent and besides Mr..
Giradot consisted of the Messrs. West
ford, Capp, Farren and Grisel, and the
Misses Donico, Holman, Young, Shan
non and Cotton. The latter gave par
ticularly lively representation of a
French maid.
