Barklay thought. re wondered q little at the diamorG that hiazed between the pink bars of fh" strangers shirt front: but then. lie reasoned, these Americans are a'"ay@ eccentric
 Nr. Earkley had heard that Fl G'ish- men arc considered by foreigners to be extremely stiiY and reserved to th" toini of clilliness. He had resolve. :. wh-r he started out. 10 correct thi@ impression as fnr as one man n''Th'. and mn,,e up his mind that fl this F'H- tleman desired 10 renew .n arn"H!ni sncc which he had IT. fortunately ftf- vottcn be would rect Jim more th"n half war.

 "Really. it's yer, o'' ''r' cant re- member you" said Mr Hrt '-,. 'L-; me think. now. E:rer. wa~ l' if'" you? Was lt in Rome"

 ..That's what I meant. When was yea In Georgia last. Mir. Barllley?"
 "Why. bless my soul" exclaimed Mr Barkley. T was never in Georgia
 The young man looked little pug rled. "Well, I'm mighty glad to see you" he said. "I'm stranger here myself. and was just going to look around tho town little. guess you Anow 1t pretty we'll by this time. How long havc you been in Chicago"
 Y only got here last night. Really. R fs most remarkable that I should mee4 you here. I'm very glad. you khow. Mv. Roberts Have they any ruhes here, I wonder? Perhaps It would be best for us to get guide
 .There's nothin' In them" said MT. Roberta "f bought one of 'em and there wasn't any thing In 1t but list ot cab fares and the principal business hooks. There's a map, but half the stteets are wrong Say, I've got a friead within block of here. We'll 10 ard see him. I'll introduce you. A friend of mine's friend of his. and he'n treat us dead right.

 Nr. Barkley stiffened immediately Y thought everyone who knew me know my views on that subject" he said. "I don't believe in drinking"
 NIT. Roberts stopped and held out ha hand. Temperance! That's me every time.- he declared. "It's against py principles.
