"a girl; a girlr' murmured Mrs.
Kyle, faraway look in her eyes.
Yes" maintained Mr.. Kyle with the
assurance of inexperience. 81 shall
hire the girl this time. Watch me-"
From that day Bronson Kyle became
a familiar figure at intelligence Offices.
He also advertised literally. Desirable
girls objected in vigorous terms TO
leaving the city. Mr.. Kyle was about
to yield to despair when Magenta ap-
peared on the scene.
Gorgeous in a white pique skirt and n
blue silk waist, figured in huge yellow
roses, she faced the master of Hannv
Hilltop. Her references were "A1"
She was neat in appearance, deft and
quiet in movements, but by reason Of
various bitter experiences Mr.. KYLE
was suspicious. There must be some
reason for this girls anxiety ito bury
herself in a suburban kitchen.
"YOu understand, do you-er-er''-
Magenta, sab; nah name is Ma
genta."

home is forty minutes ride from town
and it will cost you nearly a dollar ev-

never a sigh. That's jes' what All
want, sab. TO get outen this yere town
as fer as All ken. Alive had the trou.
bic Nv NAH life in this yere town. All

With difficulty Mr.. Kyle suppressed
a chuckle Of triumph. He told his new
serving maid to return at $3.50 sharp;
then. just as she reached the door.
horrible thought flashed through his
brain.
''See here, Magenta! You're sure You
haven't sweetheart who will per-
suade you to change your mind before
the afternoons over?"
Magenta turned upon him like an
enraged tigress.

BY the grace of Mary Jane the BrOn-
son kyles were permitted to enjoy their
suburban home, Happy Hilltop, for
three years. Then came the deluge
Mary Jane married the iceman. Mr.
Kyle made unpleasant remarks about
the iceman. Mrs. Kyle wept and gave
Mary Jane her wedding dress.
During the next three months hand
maids came and landmarks went until
Mr.. Kyle evinced no surprise when the
third servant in one week brought in
the soup. Patience ceased to be a vir-
tue however, when the latest acquisi-
tion saw things in the corner of the
Kitchen and in her efforts to dislodge
the obnoxious intruders destroyed sev-
en- fine china plates four saucers and a
family heirloom in the form of a blue
and white gravy boat.
Mrs. Kyle sent the remains of the
gravy boat TO china repairer, cleaned
and closed the servants room, hired a
boy to look after the cellar and the fires
and took possession of her own kitchen.
She scored Il success in her undertake
ing. Mr.. Kyle admitted that they had
never lived so economically and so well,
but he watched his wife with growing
disAay. She never had time to sit down
and chat with him. The bloom faded
from her cheeks, three tiny lines deep
ened in her forehead, and night found
her too tired to run into town for con
cert or the newest play.
The theater had been one of their pet
diversions, and Mr.. Kyle missed it sore
ly. Gradually he fell into the habit
of stopping in town over night when
something particularly good was on,
not, however, without suffering qualms
of conscience at the thought of the de
voted wife and mother at Happy Hill
top"
AS for Mrs Kyle, she fairly reveled
in her self sacrifice. The woman has
not yet been born who does not enjoy
playing the role of martyr to domestic
duties-fOr Il limited period-but with
the approach Of spring she became lar
guild and listless. and Mr. Kyle. after
wiping dishes three consecutive even
ings and running for his train on top of

mornings, announced that something

A Story of the Irish Liberator and ,
Falling Floor.

Daniel O'Connell was once address,
ing an enormous meeting in Kings
town, and the crowd was so large that
fear was felt for the safety of the
buliding. As he was about to speak a
,entlcman aSccndCd the platform and
5aid, trembling with fear: "Liberator.
the floor is giving way. The beams are
cracking, and we shall all fall through
in a few minutes" 1t is not given to
many men to live through such mo-
ments as O'COnncll lived through as he
rose to address the meeting nor TO pre-
serve such magnificent courage in the
face of great peril. Warming the man
to keep quiet, the liberator said. Il find
this room too small to contain the num-
Der who desire to come in, 50 we must
therefore leave it and hold the meeting
outside" y few rose to leave but the
hall was still packed, and then O'Con-
nell said: Then | will tell you the
truth. You are Irshmen and therefore
brave men. The floor is giving way,
and we must leave this room at once.
If there is a panic and a rush to the
door we shall all be precipitated into
the room below. but if you obey my
orders we shall be safe Let the dozen
men nearest the door 20 quietly out.
then the next dozen. and so on until all
have gone. | shall be the last to leave"
The Irishmen followed the advice the
hall was quickly cleared. and as O'Con-
nell walked across the floor the broken
beams gave way.-OXfOrd Chronicle.

Bronson Kyle realized that argument
was futile. The bell rang sharply. and
he made Il dash for the pier. When
half way across the river he recalled
that the magazines and papers were
still strapped to Magenta's telescope.
Then he sighed. What matter. so long

Acold rain most all day Sunday and
Monday morning. The thermometer
stood at 41;Fargo way and western points
points report light frost.

A peculiar circumstance occurred out
Carlisle way this week. Two ladies were
driving broncho hitched to buggy and
going along at a fairly rapid rate when,
through some means, the broncho
thought he had to stop, and did SO very
suddenly. Before the driver could start
the horse again the other lady noticed a
bicycle lying in the ditch. Thinking it
strange she got out to investigate and
seeing no one near, began to wonder if
it would not be best to pick up the bicy-
Gle and carry it home, and advertise for
the owner. Just then she glanced under
the buggy and saw Young man lying
PROSTATE and unconscious. He soon re-
covered, however, and explained that he
had been riding his wheel close up to
buggy, and when the horse stopped so
suddenly, had been thrown against and
under the buggy. He was not otherwise
injured.
