HIS TOP NOTE.

Miss Mary Emerson was acknowl.

Among the many who sighed for he1
were two who seemed so far advanced
in the court they paid that they might
be called suitors. One, Charley Norton,
was toward the front because he de-
served to be there, for he was good
fellow, bright and earnest, albeit guilty
Of harmless vanities, not to say the sell
conceit with which some people charged
him. His one dangerous rival was the

ira, Theodore Schreiner. Schreiner' s ap-
parept lead in the race for Miss Emer-
sons affections was due wholly to his
boundless assurance. The proof of this
came to him with unpleasant clearness
on the day when he proposed, only to be
rejected. Nary let him understand dis
tinctly that she was promised to Car
ley Norton and that her accepted lover
had her entire affection and trust
For day or two Schreiner was mo-
rose and inclined, SO he said, to suicide.
Then came the annual charity concert,
for which long programme had been
arranged. Norton, who was a popular
fellow and a good singer, was down fol-
a song, and the piece he had chosen
was one of his own compositions. AS
manager of the enterprise l had encour,
aged Linn to sing the thing. I hadn't
heard it AID, to tell the truth, cared
very little whether CT not it was meri-
torious. 1t struck me simply as a good
feature to advertise song by popular
local co4nposer, written for the occa-
sion,' as I unblushingly announced in
big type on the billboards.
The fact was that Charley had ham
mered out the music in the ecstasy fol
lowing his acceptance by Miss Emerson,
and the piece was privately dedicated
to her. The accompaniment was ar
ranged for the string band, and us il
was simple thing there was no neces-
sity for conductor. Schreiner, as first
violin, marked the time from his desl
as well as played his part in it.
At the rehearsal the song went we'll
The violinists read their parts without
an error, and Charley sailed up to the
climax, very high note, in the most
effective style. We were all sure that il
would be the hit of the evening and
that Charley would score brilliant
success with that fetching top note.

Burglar and Ornng-Oufang.


 Some two years ago a retired officer of the merchant service, living in the Rue D'Alesia, Paris. M. Duchesne, brought home an orang-outang from Borneo. Since growing to it's full size the brute is 3 terror to the aeighbors Its master won't hear of it's being chained up, contenting himself with shutting the animal in his bedroom be- fore going out. Nicholas Bargeve, alias the Deyourer, had determined to make a professional call at NJ. Duch- esne's apartment with intent to burgle Now this illustrious character was un- aware that such a pet as the orang- outang was tolerated in these particu- lar rooms Consequently when the burglar was suddenly bounced upo7 by two hairy paws he was somewhat sur- prised, and his screams soon brought help, with the result that M. Bargeve was drawn out of the room by his feet, in a very ignominious fashion. He was taken to the infrmary, and it is re- ported that he has gone mad and now imagines himself to have been changed into an ape.
