Number Six s
 Sister.
BY BERNARD BIGSBY.
(Continued From Yesterday.)

''Lovc that little witch, Wanda-of course he does-who could help it. Well, we must do something to cure him of his madness he muttered to himself over his pipe.
 Tho way did not seem quite clear at first, bl:t chance helped him at last sud- denly and unexpectedly.
 They were sitting one evening on the stoop, himself and the three ladies, when George Arundel came across the street, feeling his way with his cane after the manner of the blind. A cart was driven hurriedly round the corner, and before the poor fellow could leap aside the wheel had struck him and flung him to tho ground.
 In an instant Kate Evcsham, white as a sheet, had dashed to his assistance.
 Nonc but Mir. Hardcastlc noticed the ghastly pallor of her check as she raised him, nor the shadow of pain which crossed her face as he muttered his thanks.
 ''So kind of you, Wanda-but I am not hurt bit-a clothes brush will put mo all right in minute"
 And seeing this Mir. Hardcastle began to plot.
 It was astonishing with what sue cess he managed that ia all their walks Kate should be the bind raan's com panion. Never did an old match-mal1- ing dovagcr scheme and plan for a pretty protc,gc with greater zeal than he did for this generous girl, who had given her affections to a man who loved another.
 With this result That Arundel, ever quick to appreciate sympathy, soon re- spondcd to the generous interest of the sweet girl and looked forward with hungry delight to the hours spent by her side.
 All was going splondidly. Mir. Hard castle knew that ia common decency Ee could not much longer put off the evil day of his departure and he wanted to leave one staunch friend behind him to move the puppets of this little drama in his absence. And here he made his first mistake.
 He had Q keen appreciation of the sterling worth of William Bladon, and he resolved to make the honest yocman a confidant, and if possible an accom- plice in his schemes.
 So he seized an opportunity for a quiet chat with the old servitor, who was not at all backward in accepting the interview
 ''NIr. Arundel is getting on finely after his trouble,' MT. Hardcastlc said tentatively.
 '.Hc be, sir. At least as far as gain ing strength goes, but
 The old man drew a long w!liff at his pipe and paused, as though something

| fire, you arc grabbed, cross-sr2iucd, scardalou3 old sinner" And having delivered himself of this righteous explosion cf wrath, he turned on his heel and wont hurriedly towards the Evcsha1n's cottage.
 Poor old chap, Bladon grinned. ''He's in the meshcs, same as the rest of 'e1n-an' when q man O his years gets took, he alwGy3 has it as bad as can be. Poor old buffer, Ec aia't q bad sort after all. Oh. them women, them women, what . sight O misery they work i tl2c world
 Andit chanccd that as Mir. IIardcastlc strodc wrathfully down the stroct, who should come tripping along but Miss Wanda Arlington.
 "Ah, hero you arc she scid, norrily. ''I was hunting for you high and low. I want you to come long walk with mo bST the rive"
 With all my heart, my child 3 he re- piled, the smile involuntarily lighting his face.
 But you seem annoyed about some thing, MT. Hardcastle,'' she ventured, when they had gone a few paces.
 'sYes, my dear,'' he said. T arn."
 Then it flashed across his mind that after all shc would be tho best person in whom to confdc his project.
 q have been upset, he continued. q have been building castles in the air, and some of them are tumbbng down. g
 II am SO sorry"
 And you can help me repair the ruins if you wish, Wanda.
 T am 50 glad" WAS the bright re- sponse. Now what can I d0?''
 He replied by asking her question.
 '.Havc you noticed lately the pleasure that George Arundel takes in Katc's so- ciety?"
 ''Why, yes, have," Wanda flashed with quick delight. "Do you really think he is lcar1ing to love hcr?''
 T do. Would 1t not be a fine thing for both of them? So now, little woman, I want you to p.1t yOsr wits to work and further the good cause.''
 Indeed I will How strange that never thought of this before. But. wherein have you failed? For I pre- sumo your fallen castles were built on this base.''
 You are right. You see wanted some one to help me, and I went to Bladon."
 Wanda laughed merrily.
 ''To Bladon! Why it does seem funny to ask that wonlan-hating old man to interest himself in such a project. He looks on love as q little less calamitous than smallpox
 ''So found out, my dear. Why, will you believe 1t, the ignorant old idiot actually charged me with matrimonial intentions on Mrs. EveSham.''

''The Rube profession will be over crowded like the rest Of them soon if it Keeps on the way 1t has" said J. B. Rankin, whp claims to be one Of, the originals in the calling. '"The trouble with so many of the new ones is that they're cheap and ovordo it. We old timers will have 10 get something all together new to keep salaries up.' -''' Rankin. who is doing Chicago in the inteHest of cigar firm, has been in this li4is eight years, before 1t was recognized as regular profession. With his wife he parade5 the streets dressed in the costume Of the rustic. and displays an advertising sign when ever the curious crowd becomes big enough. He was once an actor.

was on his mind that he was not quite prepared to divulge.

Staring at the high buildings Iisn't enough. l get down with a match and look at the cable sometimes, and the other day I tried the new lenders I let the car run into me, and then sat down in the fender, but I got such a l jolt tha5 I don't think I'll try it again i There was a crowd, though, that jam med the street full on both sides, and | stopped all traffic, and my advertising sign was in plain sight on my carpet l bag.
 T have two makeups that use-my natural makeup and the extreme makeup. In my natural makeup l don t wear any whiskeTs, nor quite such out landish clothes.

 My wife and I stopped a show not long ago. We were dressed up as g. prosperous farmer and his wife. We took box seats, and as soon as the poo pie came we commenced to attract at tenion. I stood up and tried to look into the box above us.
 When the orchestra. commenced to come in, we both almost fell out of the
 
 coming from. When the show opened we stCod there with our eyes and mouths wide open, and the audience shouted so loud the performance had to stop.
 My wife sat back and commenced to fan herself The fan had the 'ad' op it, and as long as we had shown that. we didn't care when the manager came and told us we would have to leave which we did,
 The manager was walking up and down smoking a cigar and dictating his morning mail. His head stenogTapher sat before her desk making pot-hooks on tablet and posing gracefully in q new fawn-coI5red, tailored gown.
 Darn the man who gave me that cigar!" suddenly exploded the mana ger, and, walking to the window he threw the easement open and tossed th3 offending weed into the street. As he did so the icy blast raced some ashes back into the oak-fnished office
 "Oh. Mr Van Dyck!" exclaimed the blonde stenogTapher, starting up and brushing off tiny spark which rested on the cloth. "Just see what you have done.'
 4 tiny black hole stared at him from the folds or the SWaSSer gown.
 Goodness me, what a pity!" said Mr. Van Dyke, quite upset ''How can I re- pair that damage?'
 q don't know, I'm sure," drawled the stenographer, looking ct it with a puckeT in her forehead. Tt will re- quire an entire new breadth of cloth"
 .Oh, dear; can't it be fixed without that? I say, Miss Innes, won't a new pair of gloves do?'
 Perhaps, if you prefer"
 How much will 9 pair Of gloves cost?" said MT. Van DycIh, with sigh 3f relief
 ''Oh. guess about s." was the reply.
