A PUGILIsT'S PARLoUR.

Bottle of fizz!" This from a short,
thiek-set fellow, of coarse, common
features, wearing a faded velveteen
shooting coat with bronze and metal
buttons, on his head billycock hat,
his legs encased in Bedford-cord
breeches and rust-colored sheepskin

knees and a stout stick resting across
the guard of his arm-to all appear

tired champion of the P. R. 1t is the
DERBY week." when London, in addi-
ton to its own sufficient fraternity of
sporting roughs, is cursed by an an
nual influx of similar characters from
all parts of the kingdom, with a
sprinkling of birds of like feather from
abroad Both native and foreign have
assembled in the tavern parlor Of the
ex-prize fighter-+an oblong saloon, ca
pable of accommodating large crowd.
1t is already well filled, st. Matthew's

part of which is TO visit the tavern of the
retired pugilist. to have a look at London
life in its lowest circles.
Neither desiring to be seen there. they
have ensconced themselves in the darkest
place possihle--a corner close to the door
and are quietly slipping sherry when the
bottle O. fig strikes upon their ears.
The cry causes Henry Harding to start,
and turn toward the direction whence it
came. Not that there is anything strange
in a man calling for champagne. Others
are doing the same-but the voice. that is
what has arrested his attention. Sure he
is of having heard 1t before. Stin surer.

tho1GA not out of sight. The story in
all its details, soon becomes known
throughout the neighborhood, and to
stop severe comment and save himself
from ridicule, Mr.. whitley, the dealer
in bonds, has no alternative but to dis
charge his ill-conditioned keeper. which
he does.

place and is never again seen among
the Chiltern Hills. Be he is heard Of
soon afterwards; a police report in the
London newspapers telling of his APP
pearance before Bow Street magis-

gamekeeper or poaeher, but the owner
of a dog that has won distinction in
the rat pit.

Malaccca cane to descend upon his
shoulders: which it does with rafting
repetition, belaboring him till every
bone in his body seems in danger Of be-
ing shattered as the shells at his feet.
Now, you thief" cries the irate
youth, with passion nearly spent, and
satisfied he has given the poacher suf-
fcient chastisement, you can go back
to your snob of master, and hatch
with him what plots you please; but no
more of my pheasants' eggs. Away
with you!"
Doggy, dreading fresh application
of the cudgel, does not vouchsafe reply;
but, clambering across the fence,
slouehes sullenly of to hide himself
among the hazels of the stockholders
preserve.
Making his way to the empty nest,
the young sportsman examines the
ground in its proximity; soon discover
ing what was scattered over H-buck-
wheat, swollen as if it had been soaked
in some sort of liquid. Collecting a
quantity, he ties it up in his handker-
chief and takes it home with him.
Submitted to analysis, it proves so
luton of arsenic, No wonder at his
pheasants being found dead.

General Harding at first fears an ae-
ton for assault against his son. But
Doggy Dick thinks better than 10 bring
it, knowing the punishment he had
would be justified by the provocation
given. and that an act of poaehing so
outrageous as his would get him a
good spell in prison.
In fine. no action Is instituted on

A BICYCLE WASHER"

The bicycle "masher" IS one Of the
greatest annoyances that women cycI-
lists have to contend with. Chicago
girl recently disposed Of one Of these
pests in decidedly effective manner.
She was riding down Michigan av-
enue when she noticed that a young
man was pedaling along close beside
her. She increased her speed, but he
still kept alongside. Then she slack
ened her pace. but he slowed up also.
He did not speak, but she could feel
his eyes fixed on her, and II made her
nervous. Presently she rode up to the
curb. dismounted. and proceeded TO ex-
anime the pedals Of her wheel. In an
instant the trailer was at her side
proffering assistance.

said. and I don't believe / have a

the wheel. At the same time she took
from her hat a long. shiny pin, and
jabbed 1t three times into the rear tire
OF his wheel. When he had concluded
his ministrations she thanked him with
a bewitching smile.and, mounting her
wheel, rode slowly away. A few min
utes later he told the bicycle repair
man all about 1t. and that is how the
story got out.--Baltimore Herald

All at once the steps are discontin-
ued. but the ambushed watcher has no.
ticed the direction, and, keeping his
eye on the alert, he soon sees the we'll
known face of him for whom he has
been watching-Doggy Dick, as ex-
pected.
Advancing with cat-like stealth till
he has reached the outside of his own
cover, the keeper comes to stand and
takes a survey. of the ground before
him. A second or two satisfies him
that the coast is clear; and, starting
forward again, he glides across the
strip of neutral territory, then over
the paling into the Beechwoods pre-
serves.
From his elevated post Henry Har-
ding eyes him, as the Canadian lynx
would the caribou straying unsuspic-
iously along the forests paths. He can
be patient now, sure that his vigil will
be rewarded For he has not the shad-
ow of a doubt that his old keeper is
in the act of playing poaeher, as he has
been long doing, at length to be de-
teeted
Once inside of the preserve. with ev-
cry inch of whose terrain he is ia
military acquainted, Doggy strikes in
direct line for the noted nesting
place: still, however, in crouching gait,
and looking inQuiringly around him.
He has not proceeded far before
flushing pheasant, which goes off
with a sonorous swhirr.' And soon
after another, that does not fly up, but
flutters along the sward, as if one OF its
wings were broken. This last is the

yelled hats; every seat around the
great central table occupied, while the
smaller ones, ranged along the sides,
has each it's group of guests. All sorts
of drinking vessels are before them,
from the pewter beer tankard TO the
tapering champagne glass; for there
are those present who drink expensive
wines and smoke costly cigars. Lord
Il, a noted patron of the P. R., is

The general company however, is of

to practice patience, and in this the
soothin necotin will assist him.
For nearly an hour he sits in con-
strained silence, but without seeing, or
hearing aught save the screech of a
jay, disturbed by some "vermin," and

to point in the cover.
He has smoked a second cigar, and
taken the third from his case, but
still no sound of footsteps nor sign of
prowling poacher-the thing he is on
the lookout for. His seat on the
rough, corrugated bark is becoming
irksome, his patience gradually get

the scoundrel keep on killing them!
I'd give a five-pound note to see him
lay his leg across that paling.'
'Sneak of the fiend and he's not far
off," In this instance, the adage
proves true; for, just as Henry Har-
ding inserts his cigar between his
teeth, he hears a dull humping in the
whitley cover, recognizable as the
football of man making his way
through them.

He does not pursue, but commences
to search for the nest, which he knows
must be near.
In few seconds he finds it; then,
STOPPING down, takes up the eggs, one
by one, and carefully deposits them in a
bag which he has pulled out of his
shooting-coat pocket. From the same
receptacle he draws something besides,
which he scatters over the ground in
the neighborhood of the plundered nest.
This done, he is continuing on in search

Throwing away his unsmoked cigar,
he drops down from the tree, and
makes after the nest robber.
The latter, seeing his approach,
turns III his TRACKS, anu ndheS 10 regain
the whitley covers. He succeeds in
reaching the fence; but, before he can
climb over it, he is dragged backward,
and held as in the grasp of a giant. The
bag drops to the ground, breaking the
eggs; while it's mouth flying open dis
plays the shattered shells and split
yolks.
Henry Harding is in the prime of
youth and trength-stronger with
right on his side and the anger within
him; while Dick, enfeebled with his
sense of wrong-doing, and too much
cowed to make resistance, permits the

Youthful Pessimist.

\ New England school-teacher pre-.
serves among her treasures the compo-
sition of former pupil, a boy of IL.
1t has a pathetic side, as the meager-
ness of the boys life may be con-
jectured from his words. The subject
given was: participation. Do You
Enjoy it as Much as Realization ?" Die
tionaries were diligently consulted,
and the general vote placed anticipa-
ton on IL high plane Of delight. Not
so wrote the solemn-faced boy of 12.
"Anticipation is when you think about
things beforehand. If it's having your
teeth out. that isn't much fun; and if
it's Sunday-school picnics, you can't
help worrying about the weather.
Realization is when the things you've
thought about beforehand happen.
Having your teeth out is little worse
than thinking about it. Sunday-school
picnics would be nice if it didn't rain,
but when. it rains they put them off !;
and then the day they have them, gen
orally you can't go."-Jamcs Brown,
in Youths Companion.
