5aunt with his wife last month and
finally reached Bar Harbor. When he
stepped up to the clerk Of the leading
fashionable hotel Of the place he was
q little appalled, at the contemptuous
creature seemed to regard such paltry
ttees as hard-earned dollars.
"A room in the house for one week
VII COST each Of the occupants ST."
he remarked in an airy manner, as

pierre Just above the questioners hat.
And meals?"

person"
There was a brief silence. during
which the Cleveland man made a rapid
me1tal calculation.

cied he had the clerk this time.
why, we haven't any maid" he
chuckled.
Il understand" said the clerk in his
ciest manner. But did not refer to
your maid. referred to our maid.
Each guest Of the house will pay $40
per week for the services of the maid
in caring for the room occupied by said
guest"
The Cleveland man stared. He Is
familiar with hotels Of every iescrip-
ton and in all sections of the country
but he had never before run up against
