ruption by other departing guests
prevented. He was still chuckling
when he boarded his suburban train,
and, in his jovial frame of mind, it
was only natural that he should sue
coed in engaging in conversation the
man who sat next to him. He had
just reached the point of saying: ST
heard good story tonight" when
the casual acquaintance's station was
reached. The conductor sat down
beside him for a moment, but his
duties compelled him to leave before
the story was fairly started and he
never came back.
Never mind" soliloquized the man
with the story, "Mary will enjoy it.''
Mary being his wife, it seemed as If
there would be no escape for her.
She was sleeping soundly when he
reached home, but a little thing like
that did not trouble him. He was
still chuckling when he entered the
room, but the chuckle died away
when he saw the placard that was
hanging from the dimly burning gas
Jet. The placard read: "Any story
you have heard will keep till morn
ing"
Mary is a resourceful woman who
profits by experience, and this was

Had the other for $3.50. Altogether he
