wire woven note paper, which had it's
hnbitation for years upon the bill file
of the tradcsman to whom 1t was sent.
1t tells It's own tale:
"Mr. Charles Dickens Is much obliged
to Mr.. Claridge for the offer of Lord
Byron's flute. But, as Mr. Dickens
cannot play that instrument himself
and has nobody in his house who eau,
he begs to decline the purchase, with
thanks. Devonshire Terrace, twen-
tieth June, 1S4S."
There is no visible mark of smile
upon the paper, says Mr.. Fem, but
there seems to be one playing among
the words, and one cannot help think
ing that when Dickens wrote that he
could not play the flute he must have
recalled n certain flute serenude played

Mrs. Bowser could say nothing fur

In the moonlight Mr.. f,owser would sit
there even If the house took fire. He
was in no hurry. however, He got down
the encyclopedia and looked up "Mala-

o'clock he felt himself thoroughly post.

up stairs she asked;
"Where do you propose to carry out

II shall sit on the front steps," he re-
piled.
"And how long will II take?"

open for dying bugs. Mr. Bowscr
wasn't doing his work IN q slipshod

with him, and he jotted down notes
for the benefit of Professor Boxly and
mankind In general:

"1Ol0-Am positive there Is a mist"

"Well, that mist Is caused by the
