vehicle. equipped as have particular
lied, what is to prevent me from reach
ing it? Even if the cartridges and
Holsters give out and I am reduced to
frozen porterhouse steak, my interest
and ambition would carry me forward. "
sWhat If one of your mules gives
out?" asked the insurance agent, who
seemed deeply interested in the
scheme.
"Such contingency is possible and
has been provided for. A pair OF rein
deers could readily be substituted, and
probably with profit. The only rea-
son start out with the mule instead
of the reindeer is because wish to ex-
pertinent on the mule and discover the
north pole at the same time-make
happy combination of it, SO to speak.
The world has no authentic record OF
what a mule can do in the Arctic Cir
Gle. l have great hopes that the pair
will get through and back with me,
and if ti-ose hopes are fulfilled the
worthy animals will, of course, be on
exhibition over the Dime Museum cir
cult. You will watch the daily papers
for particulars. and remember that one
dime entities you to view all the curl
osities and witness the performance on
the stage. Are there any further criti-
cisms?"
"You haven't figured on any room in
your vehicle to hold forage for your
mules" said man who had been us
ing his pencil on the wall of the sta
ton.
"Sir, you have struck the key note,

diagrams l forgot that l must have a
store room for forage. 1t was on &C.
count of my oversight that / stopped
here as l did. The vehicle. as orig
inally planned, will not do. That store
room must be added. The $4,000 men
toned will not cover it, and where
am to raise the extra amount unless
this crowd helps me out I cannot see.
There are eleven of you. A contribu-
ton of ten cents each will do it as
slick as grease | am not asking you
to help defray the main cost, but to
come in on the annex or auxiliary. The

you know. When you impugn a gen
tleman's honesty at poker you impugn
his general honesty clear back to his
birth. Let a slight of that kind pass
without notice and your reputation is
gone. The senator had scarcely
spoken, sab, when replied:
'Majah Doolitsle always Gets for
me. Let your friend see him at once.
"The senator seemed to be agreeable,
and l went away delighted, but the
man turned out to be no gentleman.
He had the choice of weapons, and
what do you think he did, sab? Egad,
but he insisted that we use hickory
clubs, and no amount of talk could
move him. That a senator should SO
burlesaue the code was felt by his
whole Stae to be lasting disgrace, but
the senator himself felt elated at pull

fight him with a club. To have done
so would have been to sacrifice myself.
The only course open to me was TO
send him word that I would dash my
glove into his face the first time we
met in public and brand him as
coward"
"And you did 500" asked as the
colonel paused.
"Well sah-no, sah-not exactly,
sah," he replied. "You see, sab, he was
no gentleman. The word 'honah was
not in his vocabulary. He received my
word and sent a reply to the effect
that if | hit him with my glove he
would stand me on my head. He had
the brute force to back him up. A gen
tleman does not look we'll standing on
his head, sab. The position is both I'M
comfortable and ridiculous, and is GER

his detriment. Realizing that the sea-

indeed he had been bon with any, l
dropped the matter and let it die out.

The first step in the programme is to

other end of the platform in a body. l
am not going to ask you for anything
like that sum. The $4,000 will be want

vehicle, but will not ask you to look
at them. Suffice it to say that it will
be vehicle which can travel on either
wheels or runners, as occasion may
demand. 1t will likewise be fitted with
an engine and a propeller, and it will
squirt hot water against snowbanks,
saw away blocks of ice and put the
CAD on the mules. / depend upon it
to keep those mules going at pace of
six miles an hour all day. The vehicle
will be divided into four rooms. There
will be parlor, kitchen, library and en-
CINE room. 1t is needless to say that
the kitchen will be supplied with all
the delicacies of the season, and that
nothing whatever will be lacking in
the library"
1T will be a sort of picnic, as I I'M

man.
Not exactly, sir. smiled the tramp.

have figured out to fraction the room
that will be required for the cartridges,
Holsters, champagne and cake. The
library will take in exactly 200 books.
There will be three rocking chairs and
q Turkish couch in the parlor, and I
may add piano at the last moment.
II not a piano, then l shall set up
regular bar in one end and make all
drinks free to myself. AS the mules
speed along, whacked at brief inter-
walls by the whackers connected with
the engines, can stand up to the bar
and take drink without fear of be-
ing kicked afterwards, or I can lie
down on my divan and smoke three

We all looked at the banker. He
thought the matter over for a minute
and then pulled out dime. Every
other man extended coin of the same
value. The tramp gathered them in
with cheerful hand, and then stepping
out on the track, with his face turned
towards New York, he pulled off his
cap and said:
I'm the interest of science I thank
you. l go to add the store room and
buy forage for the mules!"

that they owned the earth and pro-

down the main street twice, whooping
and shooting, and then about fifty citi-

A SONG.
Sing me a sweet, low song of night
Before the moon is risen,
A song that tells of the stars delight
Escaped from days bright prison.
A song that croons with the cricket
voice,
That sleeps with the Swallowed trees,
A song that shall bid my heart rejoice
At it's tender mysteries
And then when the song is ended, love,
Bend down your head unto me
Whisper the word that was born above
