Sa GacsOua Rat.

One day well-fed and sagacious rat
came across an object made of wire,
whose sole occupation seemed to be to
take care of liberal piece of cheese.
Having had several years experience
with men and their Vaccinations. the
rat looked the ground over with great
care, and he was still engaged in this
occupation when a mouse appeared
and wanted to know what was up.
why, the fact is" replied the rat,
Il have more cheese here than l can
possibly eat at one meal, and as cheese
quickly spoils in this climate, I was
waiting for some one to come along
and accept portion"
you are generous" said the mouse.
Don't mention 1t. Just step inside
and pass the cheese out, will you?"
The mouse had no sooher nibbled at
the bait than there was a crash and
he found himself trapped.
"Ah, that's the way it works, is it?"
queried the rat. 81 couldn't Just make

where. Good idea
But I'm caught" exclaimed the
mouse in great agitation.

And Then He tainted.

At dinner party not long ago a
certain young gentleman. an enthusi-
astic golfer started off with the white
bait to enumerate to his partner the
details Of a match that he had been
playing that day. 1t was not until
the dessert was brought on that he
suddenly bethought himself that he
had been doing all the talking; indeed,
the young lady had not said single
word during the progress Of the meal.
1t was possible that she was not in
terested in the subject-incredible, but
still possible.
II am afraid have been boring you
with this talk Of the shop" he said.

"Oh, no; not at ALL" was the pretty
maiden's polite response. "Only. what

Merrill Fremont paused, hat in hand.
Erma believed him dead and forgave
him. How would it be when she found
him alive! He stood in dumb uncer-
tainty. She was his only love and to
lose her again would be more terrible
than not to have found her. Dead,
she surely loved him: her action prov
ed 1t. Would he not better go away
In the certainty Of that love than, by
staying, perhaps revive the old bitter
ness which his return to her unharmed
while all her beloved family lay dead,
might recall?
He was about to retreat. It was too
late, the lady turned and saw him. He
stood awkwardly before her. She look
ed at him in puzzled inquiry.
Suddenly he cried out "Erma."
She moved back pace in surprise at
being so addressed by an apparent
stranger.
Once his tongue loosened Merrill gave
her no chance to escape. In quick,
incoherent words he poured forth the
Gilpin observer., 1899-05-18

mistaken report Of his death, his love,
his sorrow for her grief. and at last an
earnest plea that she would prove more
kind than in the past.
AS she listened delicate flush crept
into the lady's pale. sweet face. The
shadow that rested in the deep, blue
eyes lifted. She looked searchingly at
the man before her. Could this really
be her young lover, returned in the
guise of this impetuous elderly man?
She had neve rthought of him save as
the soldier boy who had gone away at
her bidding. At last she seemed to
understand. For moment the corners
Of the lovely mouth forgot to droop.
By the light OF memory the man and
woman grew young again.
When his torrent of words ceased
she stood silent for some moments and
then held out her hand as she softly
said

other novelty in the bracelet line is

In timid, hesitating way he had
made few inquiries for old friends,
but the answer was ever the same.

But she gave them for her country's

His "supreme Moment"

Novelists are all wrong when they
mention "the time he proposed" or
the moment their eyes met" as the
supreme moment Of some sentimental
couple. A charming woman who has
been in love with her husband for five
years told me how she always remem-
bered "Tom," who. by the way, is an
artist and romantic figure at most
times, says the Home Journal.
Il always think Of him." she said,
