There is no better known local character

as many friends as any man IN Garrari

The other day. said he to party OF
friends, boarded train on little jerk

window to learn the cause OF the stop. and
saw the conductor talking to an old woman
with bonnet and shawl and Sunday toggery
on and a small basket in hand.
Being curious to know the import of the
dialogue between the two, ] went forward
and learned that the woman had tagged the
tram for the purpose OF getting on board
and going on to town to sell Il dozen eei;s.
She told the conductor however. that she
had only ii in the basket at that moment.

the nest, was momentarily expected to Law

that it would be great accommodation If
be would hold his train until this should
occur, as IL would be pity to proceed 10

conductor consented, and then our wait be-
gan.
Finally, after the lapse of about 20 min

woman's shanty. \ moment later blue

Fair Gertie.

One evening not long ago st. Joseph
young man, who is quite well known in So
ciety, started out to call on young lady
who lives in the eastern part OF the city.
The young man had but recently met the
charmer and had never been to see her. He
did not anticipate any difficulty, however,
in finding the young lady's home, as he had
received careful directions from those who
had been there. In due time he arrived in
the neighborhood in which the young lady
lived. He was undecided as to the exact
house he was seeking, but after some hesta-
tion he selected that which he felt positive
was the. young lady's place of abode. A
ring of the bell brought big darky nanny
to the door.
"ls Miss Gertrude in ?" queried the caller.
Yes, sir; step in" was the answer, and
the young man was ushered into the parlor.
1t seems that he was too deeply engrossed
with anticipations of pleasure to follow to
make close scrutiny, else he would have OBJ
served that surroundings were not just what
he had reason to expect. After few mo-
ments the young man was aroused by =
deep and powerful voice. unmistakably that
of the negro NANNY, and its tone left no
question of the relationship between ths
speaker and the person called.
"Gertie, dar's a man in here what wants
to see yo'."
In moment "Gertie," who resembled the
ace of spades in color, came into the room
and the young man fainted.-St. Joseph

CHAPTER X.

The next morning after the sensation
Mt Mayor Houndtree's, Warrenton called
on WILDLY.
WELL" he began, cordially, as his
friend motioncd him TO a seat in the
library and stepped back to close the
door, you've read about the shooting
at the mayors. That ought to make
you feel better: it is additional proof
that you are not the man.
WILDLY sat down by his friend and
crossed his hands over his knee.
"On the contrary, l am more miscr-
able to-day than ever
why, what is the matter?''
Annette has just left me-
She has been here again? How very
imprudent! She ought not 10 have

Poor little girl!' sighed WILDLY.
"She had heard about the shooting at

that she came right in. regardless of
consequences"

beautiful proof of her love as that

the theory of my having been hypno-

expected me to be elated over the new
developments, and with that bloody
horror over me simply could not be
! so. She wormed it all out of me final
ly, and now she is quite undone. She
turned sick and almost tainted in tho

she left the house. She went home cry

Even In,

During the summer OF 1895 a handsome
New England woman paid a visit to one of
the North side society queens of Wichita.
In due time a swell lawn party was
given by the hostess at her home, to
make the. visitors acquainted with her
western friends. Among those invited
was VIII Beatty. He was presented to
the eastern lady. and it happened to be his
good fortune little later in the evening to
have her on his arm promenading over the
velvety lawn. In the course of the con-

throw on the matter. Mr.. WILDLY, you

There was short silence then.
