his father standing over him. Here was
more mystery.

The best man is a survivor of the band
of friends who accompanied the sutor in
his wife winning and kept watch for him
over the brides tribe, while the lover
sought the opportunity to carry off his
prize. The honeymoon journey is the hur-
ried flight of the husband with his wife
to escape the vengeance of the pursuing
tribe. The presents given the bridesmaids
and ushers are simply a relic of the rough
bribery used by the ancient bridegroom
among his personal friends so that they
would assist in the capture of his chosen
bride when the day arrived on which he
had determined to carry her off In the

A number of men in the world have to
thank this Sunday nausea that they are
to-day workers and not tramps. The
latter feel the effects of it to the end of
their days; ii is Is unacceptable : death,
but, like certain sea-faring men who never
get entirely free of sea-sickness and yet
continue as sailors. so old vagabonds learn
TO expect and endure the miserable sensa-
tons which they experience on the first
day of the week. These sensations ore
due to the remnant of manhood which is
to be found in nearly all tramps. The
bulk of them are for all practical pur-
poses outcasts. but at breakfast time. on
Sunday morning. they have emotions
which on week days no one would give
them credit Cor.
1t was my fate, some years ago, 90 be

to most persons that the tramp never

looks as tattered and torn as when they
happen to see him. but the expert has

Some days he dresses very poorly; this IS
generally the case in winter, and on other
days he looks as neat and clean as the
ordinary business man. 1t all depends on
the weather and the beat he has chosen

Sunday on the Road.
Sunday is the dsmalest day in the week
to the average tramp, the beggar who is
content with his three meals a day and
a place to lie down in at night. But a
few men who go on tramp for the first
time expect that Sunday is going TO be
any different from any other day in the
week. They usually reach ''the road" on
week day after debauch, and they find
that their sOiled clothes and general I'M
kempt condition differentiate them in pub
lie thoroughfares very little from hundreds
of wOrkingmen. No policeman worries
them with suspicious gances, and in large
cities they pass unchalenged even in the
dead of night. Indeed, they receive so
little notice from any one that they won
der how they had ever imagined that out
casts were such marked human beings.
Then comes their first Sunday. They
get up out of their hay,oft, or wherever
it may be that they lay down the night
before, prepare to look for their break
fast just as they did on the day before,
and after brushing off their clothes and
washing themselves a some pump or pub
lie faucet, they start out In a small
town they feel that something is wrong
before they have gone a block, and by

A RUNAWAY MATCH.
Though the Consequences Were
Interesting.

The Horse Ran and Not the Lovers,
Though the Consequences Were
Interesting.
John Asley, Jr., was a tall young man
| about %. He was attired in loose fit
| ting suit of homespun-not the kind our
grandmas use to make-and as he gazed
wrathfully at his father the old man
| quailed before him.
Old John Asley was of the "old school,"
whatever that may mean. And young
John Asey was of the new school," very
new, in fact, went in heavily for athletics,
ran up big bill at college for Dad" to
pay and then skipped over to the CONT
nent and there being up TO date, fell in
love with a very pretty girl. and of
course, wanted to marry her.
Now old John Asley not only had no
sympathy with his sons matrimonial
schemes, but he rather regarded the young
man and all his likes and ambitions as
! altogether unheard of, and therefore dam
gerous and to be frowned on.
They didn't play golf in his day and
generation, and they didn't wear short
trousers to school when they got to be IA
years old and over. They didn't have en-
graved calling cards and they didn't carry
cameras round with them. Consequently
because they didn't do these things when
he was young, they were all wrong and
frivolous.
However, old John was a good chap at
heart, after all. He loved John, Jr., and
hated TO see him "frittering away his
time in things he did not approve OF,
because he knew they were fatal to any
money making. And this ambition was

life.
His girl wife had been in her grave many
years. and she was about the only thins
he had ever really loved except his son
and money. And it was a toss-up as to
which he loved best
1t was natural that he should plan for
John to enter his office and learn the ways
of business. The old man felt sure it was
rank heresy and reckless foolshness to let
the boy marry till he had grounded him
self in business and its methods, Now the
boy wanted TO marry Miss Bennett at
once and learn the rudiments of business
afterwards
This did not suit the old man. He ad-
mitted that he would not be so aVerse to
the marriage if the young lady had any
money. They discussed the matter some
time.
Old John Asley new that his son had his
own stubborn and unresisting tempera-
ment and he changed his tactics. He sug-
gested that John have his aunt ask tie

man gave. This was arranged and the in.

Each Has His "Systcm."
The tramps methods Of begging. as mas
been said, are largely regulated BY cir
cumstances and experience. but even the
amateurs among them have theories about
the profession and they are never more
interested than when sitting around some
"hang-ou" campfire, dis eussing their no.

go best with different sorts Of people In
deed the bulk of their time is passed In
conferences Of this character. Each man.
like the passionate gambler. has a "sys-
tem,' and he enjoys chewing the rag"
about IFS intrlcacies. The majority OF
the systems are founded on the tramp's
knowledge Of women. Taking he coun-
try by and large he sees more Of women
on his begging tours than of men, and Il
is only natural that his theoretical calcu-
lations should be busted mainly with wo-
men. Some tramps believe that they can
tell TO a nlcety what blonde woman will
