His Thanks.

The court looked severe, and after
there had been an ominous silence Of
about minutes duration said:
Prisoner, this is the forty-fifth tims
have fined you for being drunk"
Mr.. O'Fallon looked up suddenly and
glad light appeared in his bleared
eyes as he put hand against his breast
and said:
Tanks, jedge."
what do you mean by thanking
me?" the court imperiously demanded.
With an expression of childlike in
nocence upon what had once been his
face Mr.. OTallon replied:
"Oi had, losht thr-rack of tn num-
ber-r of tonnes it was mesilf and Oh
jisht had a curiosity to know how many

In the Elevator
stopped at The hotel

NAMPERTON stopped at the hotel
desk long enough to read the letter
which was handed to him with his key;
then he started for his rooms to dress
for the club dinner.
But the club dinner was no longer in
his mind. The contents of that letter
engrossed his thoughts to the exclusion
of everything else.
1t was from his late travelling COM
panion, Birch, whom he had left in
Paris month ago, and who now wrote
from London to tell him that the Kings
leys had quit the continent and were in
tending to sail for America at once.
80 the coast is clear, old man, and
youcan come back, declared the writer,
persuasively. "You were an idiot ever
to run away as you did. Join me here
In fortnight and we'll still be In time
for that Mediterranean trip"
Competitors jaws were set and his
brows contracted as he stepped into the
elevator.
He knew that the Kingsleys, in re-
turning to America at this time, were
curtailing their original programme by
at least six months. And it was easy
TO guess the reason.
They were coming home to prepare
for their daughters marriage to her
titled sutton. The count himself, no
doubt, would follow in short time to
claim his bride.
"And l must get away before they
arrive" decided the young man. "I'll
go back to Europe by the next steamer"
Through the mist of his mental alb
straction he observed that the elevator
had an occupant besides himself
woman who had seated herself in a
shadowy corner of the car-but her
presence did not change the current OF
bis thoughts.
The elevator came to a sudden stop
DO sudden. indeed, that Camperton, not
being prepared to check his upward
course all at once, involuntarily rose to
his tiptoes, waving his arms like huge
bird about to take fight, and then
pirouetted gracefully toward the other
passenger in the corner.
There is no danger, madam" he be,
gan, in his most reassuring tones
"We're fast between two floors and
must wait awhile"
He stopped short as he noted, With
surprise and alarm, the attitude Of ahs
lady. She was still sitting in her Cor,
