The TicIse, She Couldn.t Cosb

\ handsomely gOwned woman step
ped up to the box Office of n Broadway
theater one night last week and de
posted three tickets on the window
ledge.
"One of our party disappointed us, &c
she said Would you kindly take back
one of these ticketsF"
Certainly" replied the obliging
treasurer, slipping the ticket into the
rack and CHANGING up eXpectantly at
the next purchaser in the line. The
woman tapped her gloved fingers i'm
patiently on the window ledge.
"Well?" inquired the treasurer.
"My NOR y, if you please"
y cynical smile stole over the treas
urcr's face. Then you didn't under
stand that those tickets were compli-
mentary," he said.
Just n suspicion OF flush suggested
that the woman had understood, and
she moved away murmuring Really
There had been wee circle punched
in the ticket. and the treasurer said she
knew we'll enough what that circle
meant. 1t was the trade mark Of the
theater's complimentary tickets, and
the woman had been coming in on the
same sort OF tickets for two seasons

"Since then" said Professor Muller,

1t was merely the difference between
the spoken and the written dead
tongue that had puzzled him. But
that takes nothing from the humility
