lowered sun-blinds cast a becoming

in very perfectly-ftting coat, lounges
in an armchair, and gazes at her with
rather discontinued expression.

his watch. They took the hint, but in
stead of disclosing the object of their
long call-they had been with Joyce
nearly three hours-they arose and
with great friendliness admitted that
they had stayed too long.
''We've had delightful VISIT" con-
cluded Mr.. Beck, "and we're glad to
have met you.'
"Call again some time," murmured
the mystified Joyce, shaking hands.
When they were gone he puzzled over
the matter for awhile and then went
to lunch. He didn't return till nearly
two in the afternoon, but when he
opened his door he found Beck and
Smyth sitting within waiting.
They greeted him with a fresh vol
ley of scintillant stories, jokes and
"reminiscences, and before he could
make polite display of his astonish-
ment he found himself involved in the
conversation, laughing with them and
ready for more negotiations with the
hospitable fourth party downstairs.
Nobody but the letter carrier inter-
ruted the visit, it was even more pro-
longed and pleasanter than that of the
forenoon, and the clock was striking
six when Mr.. Joyce pulled out his watch
with an expression of natural Devil
! derment.
They took the hint again, stood up,
shook hands, and for moment looked
foolish. Joyce thought that at least
they meant to state their mission, but
they only hesitated moment and then
started for the door. That was too
much for him.
Gentlemen" he beloved a fter them,
before you go would you mind tell
ing me what, that is, why, you-you
called on me?"
They came back blushing and look
ing sheepishly at one another.
"Glad you ask" said Beck. "The
truth is, Mr.. Joyce, we came away from
New York witha good supply of money,
intending to stay two weeks in st.
Louis. We thought we knew the great
American game, didn't I'VE, Smyth But,
well, to make long story short, we
met some Texas fellows coming out
on the train who knew it better. What
they did to US was plenty, for we land
ed here fat broke, and neither of us
had the nerve to telegraph home for
more"
"You see," broke in smyth, "they'd
never let up on us at the club if they
knew. A New Yorker hates to ad-
nit
"Fact is" interrupted Beck, "we
asked the clerk in the Planters if he
knew downtown lawyer who was a
good fellow and he steered us up here.
We found he was right. but"
"Well?" suggested Joyce, amazed
! and amused.

He Ran Away
With an Auto
First Machine in Carson
County Tempted Pluto Bill
NHILE the talk had stuck to
Wv horses the ex-sheriff of Carson

N7HILE the talk had stuck to
wv horses the ex-sheriff of Carson
county had enjoyed the society of the
party of visitors whose liquid hospital
ity he had been invited to share. When
it tookan up-to-date turn and switched
to automobiles he began to be bored.
The conversation wandered among
the intricacies of explosion chambers,
motors, gears, and the like, and al
though the ex-sheriff's glass was filed
and emptied with the rest, a tired, far
away expression crept over his face
and he spat at more frequent inter-
walls into the sawdust box beneath the
Sar.
"The only machine of that kind that
ever come through here" he reflective
ly said at length, "stirred things up

Whereupon the entire company, hav-
ing expressed it's interest by the usual
invitation, the sheriff removed the
superfuous moisture from his sweep

it sure could throw dust. Some of the

FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS.
To the Banker 1t Meant Poverty But
Not So to the Struggling
Artist

The bankers wife sat at the win
dow wondering what could have de-
tanned her husband, usually so
methodical, writes Charles Battell
LOOMS, in Philadelphia Saturday
Evening Post.
Al last she saw him step SLOWLY
from the car. This in itself was dis
quieting. Why had he not come home
in cab? What could have hap
pened? She fastened down the stairs
to the front door and reached # inst
as he did.
Henry, what is the matter? WHY
are you so late? And why did YOU
come in carp"
"oh, my darling, can you bear bad
news?" said he.
For answer she gave him her hand.
Mary, my darling, 1 am ruined.
Cabs are for the rich. The failure
of Sampson G Co. has pulled me
down, and when all my debts are paid
L shall have but $500 with which to
face the world" 1t was a terrible
shock, and what wonder the little
woman tainted. Only $500. Ruin!
AFFECT poverty! Sorrows cup full!
The artists wife sat with her face
at the window of their tiny room,
wondering what had happened to de-
tain her husband. Artist though he
was, he was generally very method
ical in his movements
While her fears strengthened a cab
drove up to the house, and within it
wonder of wonders! she deserted
the form of her husband. This was
indeed disquieting. Why had he come
home in cab? Was he i'll?
He sprang from the cab, dismissed
the driver with a gratuity and ran
with joyful face up the steps.
His wife fastened into the hall to
meet him.
"What is it, dear?" she cried as
he came springing up the stairs, two
steps at a time.
Come inside, dear, and I'll tell you,
although l feel like taking the whole
world into my confidence"
"oh, what is it, Paul? Have you
sold the water-colors?"
Better than that, my dear. 1 have
sold the oil that L did last summer!
And what do you suppose 1 received
for it?"
"oh, I don't know. Fifty dollars ?"
"Pouf! | received every cent of
$500! Now [ can face the world.''
And the twain went dancing around
the room like crazy marionettes. Five
hundred dollars! Prosperity! Pluto
cratic wealth! The cup of JOY bub-
bling over!

Two Odd Gentlemen
from New York ~
BY JOHN H. RAFFERTY,

DOBERT JOYCE, of St. Louis, IS
n years old, attorney at law, sat in
his office reading the morning paper.
He had no practice to speak of, but he
had hopes and rich young wife, whose
ambitions for his future career as a
public man were beginning to stir him
to something like mental activity. Be
ing good mixer, handsome, eloquent
and widely known as good fellow"
he naturally chose politics for his
field of effort, and, as he sat porting
over his newspaper, he was figuring in
his mind that if he ever got the con-
gressional nomination on the repub-
ican ticket in his district old John
O'Brien, democratic and present in
cumbent, would give him race for his
life, and, probably, beating. There
fore he was not overcheefful, and
hailed rap on his door with feeling
of relief.
To his vociferous "Come in!" two ut
ter strangers entered. Both were well
dressed, of about his own age, of good
address.
s'Is this Mr.. Joyce?" said one, smil-
ing and extending his card as he saw
the friendly nod. ''I'm Howard Beck,
of New York, Mr.. Joyce, and this is
my friend, Mr.. Smyth, also a lawyer"
"Glad to know you BOTH" said the
radiant Joyce, motioning them both to
seats. Then Mr.. Beck drifted swift
ly into running fusillade of small
talk, stories and witticisms, which,
though apropos of nothing in particu-
lar, amused and even delighted the
friendly Joyce. Mr.. Smyth OCCASION
ally slipped into the conversational with
chat reminds me-" and the host him
self soon found that he had 'a few
good ones" They snapped stories,
smoked Joyce's cigars, and made few
trips down the elevator to see the usual
fourth party till it suddenly dawned
upon Joyce that noon was at hand and
that neither of his visitors had told
the real object of the visit.
Then, as lawyers will, he began to
get just bit suspicious. He acknowl-
edged himself that he liked both Beck
and Smyth, but what, he asked himself,
did they want? Maneuvering to draw
their fire, so to speak, he pulled out
