"See that party with the jag sitting
In the corner of the carr" said con-
ductor who was riding to the car barns
In Zoo and Eden park car to the con-
ductor In charge of the car.
"Yep He's got a heavy bundle" was
the answer.
"Well, take this counterfeit half dol
lar with you when you collect his fare.
A passenger passed it on me a month
ago. Ii he gives you dollar, you can
shove It on him."
The conductor of the car took the
lead half dollar, entered the car. and
the man with the jag held out a silver
dollar and received the counterfeit half
and 40 cents In change.
"Worked like charm" said the con-
ductor as he reached the platform.
"Here he comes now. He wants to
get off,"
The drunken man wabbled to the
door and unsteadily descended from
the car.
"Now wen split up" remarked the
conductor of the car as he drew the
dollar from his pocket And as both
of the conductors gazed at the silver
dollar they gasped In unison: Were
up ag'in 1t! It's counterfeit dollar.

LONGING.

In city walls where duty bids me stay
long for woodland paths, sweet breath Of pine,
To sec again the distant, dazzling line
OF slender, sandy shore. know today
How fair must lie the sea far, far away
On whose broad breast the sun wrought sapphires
shine
And sparkle in the wind that breathes of wine;
How shafts OF gold and shifting shadows play
Beneath cool groves that sing a slunber song
And clear bird notes tingling through and
through
The peaceful heart of silence All, long
For friendly frs that brush against the blue
And each still night to watch the warrior Mars
Review the vast procession of starsl

among the people in the bar parlor she
would never notice him. After all, II

He loitered about for some little

He prowled disconsolately to the
back of the building. cursing his luck
and wondering what he should do.
There he hit upon an Individual who
evidently combined cycling with pho
Biography.
A brilliant idea sprang up In his
brain. He engaged the amateur pho
tographer In conversation and explain
ed his desire. The kodak changed
hands, and so did cleaning yellow
coin. There was some shutting of new
films. Then Bob Falk took hasty snap
shots of the back and front Of the
building in order to divert suspicion
from his real purpose. After that he
conveyed the kodak to the bar.
Some little time aer her return
from Scotland Lady Judith received a
very singular letter. It ran:

with themH Yours truly, ROBERT FALE.
The Enclosure was a photograph. She
removed the silver paper hastily and
saw. Well, you see. when the landlady
of that hotel positively refused to adj
NIT her to any of the rooms used by la
dies on the ground that her costume
would do harm to the establishment
she had consented to take her meal In
the barroom and put up with an attic
rather than proceed farther In her ex-
hausted state She had regretted this
weakness ever since. She only hoped
that no knowledge of the insult which
she had allowed to be heaped upon the
cause would come to the ears of her
strong minded sisters.
Now she saw before her eyes visible
presentment of the scene-herself In
her semimanly garments seated at a
small table to the right discussing pro-
visions, to the left knot of common
men and the apparatus of the bar It
was bad enough to be exiled from her
proper place. There was the worse
thought that by her presence in the bar
she had given tacit encouragement to
the curse of drink.

her aunt's consent, and no one could
ever make out why Lady Judith chang

WOMAN,S VOCATION.

With woman's nimble fingers
Awake life's beauty everywhere;
Things small and unregarded
Beneath thy touch shall change to fair.
With woman's tender insight
Unspoken sorrow understand;
The watchers aching forehead
Shall yield unto thy cooling hand.
WITH woman's noble purity,
Be as the snow white lilies are,
Their glowing heart shall beckon
And be the wanderers guiding star.
With woman's strength eternal,
Thy life, for Others freely given,
Shall shine afar, translucent.
Clear as the crystal gate of heaven.

mistake made and the one most frequently

appearance, well doing much injury
