She was tall, good looking, well

conductor stood before her demanding

received a nickel in change in a man

was in her eyes and she seemed OBJ
HvIOuS to her surroundings. Three
minutes later the conductor, passing
through the car, called aloud, as is the
custom Of his class, for fares, paused
before the same g~oOd-lOoking girl.
Again, quite automatically she handed
him the nickel change he had but
just given her, and the register bell
rang with a loud clang. All at once
the PARKWAY look left the maiden's
eyes, and, as she realized that she had
paid two fares, she sat up straighter
in her seat, and said:

HWine and His Wife.

In connection with the monument
that is to be placed on Heine's grave
in the cemetery of Montmartre, Paris,
it is interesting to recall the early life
Of the poet in the French capital. He
fell in love with q poor, unlettered
girl and married. Heine frequently
beat his wife, always declaring that it
was for her own good. These thrash
ings, however, did not impair her con-
jugal fidelity. On the day after his
wedding Heine drew up a will in
which he bequeathed everything to
his wife on condition that she mar
ried again. He wished, he said. that
at least one mar should regret his
death.-Chicago Post.
