SHE KNEW HIM.
Why n Maynard Husbands Efforts
to square Himself Fell to
the Ground.

The little hours had crawled up to
the comb OF the roof of night and
fallen over until three of them were
rolling down the far side toward the
caves Of morning, when solitary foot
man might have been seen slipping into
his own house with his shoes in his
hand.
How needless, oh, how needless are
oftentimes the devices Of man. How
nugatory and void are oftentimes his
most painstaking efforts.
His wife was wide awake and wait
ing for him when he entered the sancti-
fed seclusion of their apartment.
81 was so afraid of wallingyou, dear"
he stammered as he let the shoes fall
from his nerveless grasp TO the floor
with couple Of dull thuds so close
together they seemed as one.
She asked him in a stone cold voice
where he had been to be getting in
at that time Of night.
lie thanked heaven for an opportuni-
ty to explain, and he told her a har-
rowing tale Of business and delayed
trains and telephones out Of order and
telegraph wires down and no messen-
gers that would have moved heart of
marble.
She never said word as she looked
straight at him.
''Do you doubt me?" he said, as II
indignant at the implied suspicion of
her silence; and then pleadingly: ado
you doubt me? Oh, Mary, how can
you?"
Her face softened and the fxity Of
her eyes relaxed.
"No, William" she responded, almost
gently. "No, | do not doubt you. At
first there might have been some doubt
in my mind, but now, thank heaven,
there is none. Not a shadow, William,
and I'm as sure that you are lying as
that you are standing before me-"
Then William bowed his head in
shame and turned up the gas-at her
request-so She could get a better look
at Washington Star.

Two Of Nnst,s Faces.

William NJ. Tweed was n portly man
OF medium size, with long. pendulous
nose, little porcine eyes, fat. dropping
cheeks and a straight. firm mouth that
was decidedly his best feature. The
outlines Of his face were those of
Bartlett pear little end upward. and
never saw craft so palpably written
upon a human countenance. Mast
used to be fond Of drawing Tweed's
face by the way. as a sack of money.
The general contour Of his head lent
itself to the outlines Of the sack, and
he used marks for the nose and eyes
Strange to say, It was a capital por-
trait
Another Of Nast's trick pictures was
one Of Roscoe Conkling. He would
draw large letter V. with a smaller
inside it and surmount the pair With
an Interrogation mark upside down
The big V represented Conklings point
ed beard, the smaller one his sharp
nose and the Interrogation point the
Hyperion curl which he always allowed
TO fall neglgently upon his forehead.

ator wild and exasperated him more
