The Cowboys Virgil.

George Handy is in town-tender-
foot from Colorado. Originally he
was a tenderfoot in Colorado from
New York. When acting as tele-
graph operator at the railroad station
in Guthrie he was approached one
day by citizen of quiet mien who
asked when the next train left. In
an airy way he replied, "Oh, when it
can" The stranger reached back
and produced ''gun," which, accord
ing to Handy, was two feet long and
as big around as cannon. "When
do that train leave?" he repeated.
Handy, yielding the floor, amiably
answered that question and dozen
others which were flung at him. See
ing book lying on the desk, he
said: "What book are that you're
reading?'" THAT'S my Virgil, and
I'm translating few lines when 1
have time" Virgil? God bless him!
Haven't seen him in 20 years. How
is the old boy? Just the same as
ever?" He opened the volume, sat
down on bench and began to read
it off in perfect English, to the
amazement of Handy, a Yale boy.
"How did you learn ito" the operator
asked. "Oh, was first honor man
at Harvard and always loved Virgil
Where is that train?"-N. Y. Press.

Beldon went into his room and closed

Meanwhile, whenever 1 could get

time over them in my own room, so
much so that Aunt Jane Mary COM
planned that she was left entirely to
Glorianna.
One day when Miss Dacres had
gone off on one of her lengthy rides,
and I had been up to call on the la
dies, returned to find her door open
and Glorianna standing within the
opening. She was reckoning silent
ly with quick, sharp crook of the
finger.
"Glorianna," said I, 'sNliss Dacres
allows no one in her room but me-"
THAT'S why 1 come" said Glori-
anna. You ben fooled long
enough"
What do you mean?" 1 asked.
Glorianna closed the door gently
and then crossed the floor. She flung
u towel over the keyhole. of the COM
municating door, and led the way to
the door of the cellar. This l saw
that she had already unbolted; she
began to descend the stairs.
"Come back, Glorianna," said /,
come back" in as loud whisper
as l dared give voice to. "You know
told her that no one should enter
her room but myself, and going into
the cellar was u very particular part
of the promise. Come up, do you
hear? Come up!"
