and quiet, steady determination on
Johns, Meg was sent for. She was
not very attentive, but she was a
very CHEEKY nurse, She forgot my
medicine one hour, and gave me a
double dose cheerlly the next, and
laughed gaily at her own mistakes,
And In spite Of her mistakes, | got well
quickly.
But, long after was we'll, Meg con-
tlnued TO stay on with me-
"You have nicer dinners than we
have at home" she would confess with
sweetest candor, land your chairs are
softer. And | feel that | am doing an
act OF benevolence In staying, save
you and John from eternal tete-a-tete.
Now confess, Kitty, that you are duly
grateful"

SILENCE means confession" Meg de-
.clared.
She stayed through almost all Nov
ember with u.s. Whenever she spoke
of going John grayely interposed and
begged her TO- remain; and she re-
malned willingly. Sometimes l wished
ungratefully that she would go and
leave me alone; but John seemed to
have more fear than | OF those tete-a-
tete talks from which she saved us.
Yet, one day, II struck me that John,
too, was growing tired of her long
visit Meg was late in coming down
stairs; he and / were alone for a min
ute at breakfast, He held his paper,
but he was not reading IL; presently
he put II down CHANGING across at
him, was panied to see how worried
and anxious he was looking.
Meg is staying all this week,
Kltty?' he asked me suddenly as he
caught my questioning glance,
"You asked her to stay, John"
Eyes, I know" he said; and he took
up his paper again with little sigh,

ONE LICK PASSED.
A Little Fight In An Alley Last
Night

A curious little scrap occurred in an
alley back of a saloon near San Antonio
street last night.
Two well known men became involv-
ed in quarrel and went into the alley
to settle it.
One called the other a liar. The
other slowly and deliberately pulled
off his coat and handed 1t to bystsn-
der. Then he slowly peeled off his
vest and handed that to a friend.
Meantime the two men were standing
within halt foot of each other and
the one continued calling the other a
liar. FINALLY the insulted man got his
coat and vest off and deliberately
smashed the other in the face. That
ended the fight.
