A BATH TUB ROMANCE.
BY Elliot Walker.

1t was Saturday night, and the
sound of ablution had been steadily
proceeding, with irregular intervals OF
hasty footsteps and banging doors, for
at least two hours.
Roscoe Marston peered nervously
from his door, glancing down the hall
of Mrs. Tobey's boarding establishment
in the direction of the small apartment
devoted to general consumption of soap
and water.
IN never get in there" he thought
in anxious wrath. IF there is any
thing in this world more in demand
than a boarding house bath tub on a
Saturday night, 1 don't think 1 ever
heard of it.
81 believe old Romans is at 1t yet.
He's been in twenty minutes, and he
always uses up all the hot water. Yes,
that is he singing that old chestnut.
Pull for the Shore, Sailor He in
variably huns that and splashes
everything within ten feet. wish he
would pull out and give me a chance.
I'll stand here ready to run for it the
moment he door opens"
1t was quite dark in the hall. The
gas jet by the bathroom door f1ared
and flickered in feeble agitation, as
the corpulent Romans, still humming
warningly, bundled out into the pas
sage.
Marston heard him slam into his
apartment. Now" thought he. Civ
ing his dressing gown a hitch, he
slipped rapidly toward the coveted cor
ner, and collided violently with Rosetta
Bliss, who, with a swift and sudden
dart emerged into the corridor as Ros-
coe scudded by her door.
A simultaneous "Oh!" followed by
confused apologies and a mutual back
ing off placed them in a position of
irresolute embarrassment.
"Go on!" cried Marston, politely.
"Oh, no-you!" whispered the girl,
crowding into protecting shadow, and
feeling for the buttons on her envelop-
Ing gossamer.
I'm wait! Hurry! Someone else
will get it," returned the young man
in dire confusion, and Miss Bliss with
a murmur of unintelligible thanks,
fed.
Roscoe in the security of his cham
Der, gazed in his long mirror with
hysterical amusement. Lucky it was
so dark" he laughed. THAT pretty
Miss Bliss of all people-gracious! I'll
sit here and smoke, l guess. My! how
my heart beats! She nearly knocked
me down."
He was smoking and smiling at the
absurd recollection when a tilniG rap
sounded. "Next!' came smothered
