But he was badly bruised IN so doing,
for one of them had stepped on his foot.
Still he made no cutlery, but went on
perfecting his work. He lifted the trem-
bling deacon from his seat and put him
in the back part of the blackboard,
where the clothes had been, as he was
clearly untitled to drive.
Mrs. Doyle, more dead than alive,
alighted, and on going to the rear of the
wagon, where sat the old man, she
shrieked in dismay:
Il can never be yours" she suddenly
said, and she broke down and sobbed
in broken hearted way.
He sat down and pulled for the shore.
His face frightened as he piled the
oars. What was he planning? Up the
little creek shot the boat, and neither
spoke word. From time to time the
maid cast curious look at him. Why
was he so silent? They landed Then,
laying his hand on her shoulder he
said:
Where's the clothes? Oh, my clothes,
my clothes! And sure l wouldn't care,
only they're not my own at all, at all.
What will do? oh. what will dn?"

and overcoat and set forth at once On
his desk, blank side up, he left the
sheets Of his half finished romance,
"Adelbert and Letitia.'
Mckay, the sporting editor, came in
with a rush, ran into the city editors
room and breathlessly pulled out:
Say, Jones, just seen bully runaway.
Phoo! Write it up for you if you like"
Good for you, Mac! Just sit right
down there at Jacksons desk. Send it
in yourself"
This last was permission to send the
copy to the composing room without
submitting it to the judgment and CEN
sorship of the city editor, and Jones
thought the compliment was due to
Mckay for his courtesy. Besides, Nc
Kay had editorial powers in his own
province, so it was perfectly safe
Mckay sat down, drew to him the
sheets of paper which lay under a
weight on the desk and began to write
1t was not his habit to turn over each
sheet as soon as written. His way was
to lay it face up and at the end of his
writing to put the sheets in numerical
order.
In fifteen minutes he was in the COM
posing room and the copy was in the
hands of the foreman.
"Send the proof of that to Jones'" he
said, hurrying away.
Murphy, the foreman, took the writ

called to Mckay:
Say, Mckay, do you want this to
go just as it is? l must give each man
a sheet, you see, and it'll not be set for
some time, for there are only two that
/ can put on it,"
Just as it u.s. Murphy" said Mckay,
not understanding what was the diff

They had new proofreader that
night on The Glory; but, though he was
new to the Office, he was not a fool. So
when he had read the proof of McKay's
story he went into Jones office to tell
him of the weird things he had discov-
cred In 1t. Had he been familiar with
the people in the Office he would have
used language sulphurous enough to at
tract attention, but as it was he mildly
stated that the story was strangely
constructed.
"oh, it's McKay's way" said Jones
after Swimming over the first para
graph. LET it go. Did Mac make
headline too? Goodw
The "makeups" were soon hammer
ing the forms together for the first edi-
ton, and the runaway story was locked
up in the first page. In a few minutes
there was rumblng in the basement

Why hadn't the press broken down?
1t did fail-oh, yes-the night that

would it break that morning? Oh, no!

ed Jackson, holding a copy of the paper
before him. Great jumping Jehosha-

fist. Rushing to the speaking tube, he
yelled down to the circulation man to
stop the press and to send out none of
the papers already printed. The press
was stopped, but 5000 papers had al
ready been put out and were going to
the dealers as fast as horses could gal
lop.
The article was lifted out special
put in its place, and the printing pro-
ceeded. When Jones came back from
the composing room, the grinnlng faces
Of the STAFF. Jackson's included, grew
sober, and they read in silence the re-
mainder of this strange narrative:
AS Deacon Wilson was driving down
Main street last evening in his buck
board behind the new team which he
bought from Squire Williams last week
the team took fright and dashed away
down the hill at Munson's mills, imper-
ling the life of the deacon and of
Mrs. Doyle and several others.
1t seems that Mrs. Doyle, a worthy
washerwoman whose husband is in Jail
for failing to support her, was waiting
with basket of clothes at the Grand
street crossing when Mr.. Wilson came
driving along. 1t seems also that she
washes for his family, and therefore he
asked her to put the clothes on the
blackboard. being the very personifica-
ton of good nature.
But, all, they were lovers! Many
sleepless night had he spent in thinking
Of Lefty. That was his pet name for
her. True, she was of low degree as the
world would compare her to him, but at
his age what does passionate love care
for the opinions Of old fogies? He-vow-
ed that he would have her, and 1t was
his purpose in going out that morning
to meet her as IL by accident to take
her rowing on the lake and there put to
her the momentous question which was
to seal his fate.
How the plan succeeded the reader
already knows.
Leaning upon the oars, while he bent
on her look Of the most touching ten
derness, he said:
Jump in, Mrs. Doyle. Save your car
fare, woman. Put the clothes on behind
there" said he.
She had put the clothes on the back
of the blackboard and her foot was on
the step to ascend to the seat beside
the deacon when something startled the
horses, and off they bounded down the
steep grade between Grand and Union
streets. Mrs. Doyle is very stout and
heavy, and as the deacon is weak from
age he had to give both hands to the
reins, and so she had to cling on as
best she could. Down the hill dashed
the horses, and off began to fly the top
rows Of linen In the basket.
Seeing the woman's great peril if she
should let go, the deacon shouted to
her, at the same time pulling the horses
to the left with all his feeble strength
to avoid n milk WAGON

AS TO SAUSAGE MEAT.

How are we to know of what saul
sage meat is made, such as we buy in
various styles" plalntively asks an
unsophisticated reader. You don't
need TO know, my friend, for any man
Is a fool to go into the kitchen and
make observations and ask questions.
The modern sausage is the direct prod
uct Of the economic and progressive
age In which we live. There are
wastes-scraps, odds and ends, livers,
hearts, edible vlscera, blood, old horses
and possibly other quadrupeds - with
which the modern sausage, seductlvely
favored, colored and prepared, appeals
to our gastronomic tastes. Eat and
ask no questions. All you need is faith
and French mustard.

my people is myth-that am as poor
as the proverbial turkey of Job and
that no friend cares anything what 1
do-what answer would the little wom-
an give then TO my professions of love
and my offer of marriage?"
Slyly, with her fair head on his
shoulder, she replied:
They're all right, but little bit hard
in the mouth. | can manage them all
right when l get used to them. l think
got them cheap at that, and if there's
any more going at the same price send
them my way. Tell the folks 1 amt
sorry"
Just then Mrs. Doyle went back with
her basket, fully recovered from the
shock
"Oh, is that all true, dear?" she whis-
pered
ut is, darling"
'Then l am yoursr'
OF course the deacon got hold Of one
OF the papers that had the story in it.
Anybody might guess that, and also
that he sued and that The Morning
Glory had to pay him $4,000 to settle
and $40 to Mrs. Doyle.

And well ought the poor woman make
the frenzied inquiry, for even the bas-

all the way up Main street to the mills.
She looked appealingly at the police
man. Mulcahy, though his foot was
very sore, went back with her over the
route and helped her pick up the linen,
and the deacon got home with the team
without further mishap. He gave out
the following statement for publication

October SO that he could pay for his
farm. And this is Just what has been
done by lots of men the past season In

In June, sowed it to fax and sold the

If there is to be a fight between
Russia and Japan in the far East
it would be to the advantage of
the latter that it begin soon, as
she is as ready for it as she can
be in the near future, while Rus

military and naval, in that quart

could doubtless do great damage
to her enemy, if war were to be-
gin now before Russia could con
