What probably is the queerest Of

revealed by the death In Paris of

for years had received relief from
the authorities. The other eyenlng no

stuffed monkey clasped fondly in his
arms. The gendarme who was sum.
moned noticed that there was a slit
In the monkeys skin, and out OF cur.
iosity he thrust n pencil into the
aperture. This led to the discover
that the monkey was filled with pa.
pers. The gendarme drew out a let.
ter which stated that the writer
In fear OF burglars. had placed his
savings In the monkey, and he then
tore open the animals BODY. Il was
found to contain $1,000 in bank notes

No Glory In a pory.

Let him who seeks that sort OF glory
Cross the ocean In a dory.
But ms for me- I much prefer
Tho busy City's buzz and whlr.
Where tides OF peoples ebb and flow,
Where autos come ard trollcys go,
And other dangers compass me
Unknown TO sailors on the sea.
Here let me battle with the gales
That twist my tiller. rend my sails,
And In their fearful fury serve
To test my courage. try my nerve.
Let him who seeks lesser glory
Cross the ocean In a dory,
But as for me ia rather stay
In old New York and fight my way
Amid the perils OF the town.
Wherein you have 10 swim or drown.
And when the calm Of after life
Succeeds The days OF stirring strife,
Mayhap I'll seek n shady nook
And there. with some engaging book,

froze the smile with which she had
unintentionally favored him, and had
promptly ayerted his eyes, as if in
hopes that the girls wrath might
glance off his broad shoulders. Thus,
turned away, he had missed seeing her
discovery Of her open purse and her
consequent CONSERVATION. When he
had ventured to look again, she was
staring straight ahead of her with
what seemed to him a most inscrut
able expression. In reality she was
thinking of the luncheon she had re-
fused and bordering the great truth
that even modern dining car is of
little avail unless one had the price of
meal.
AS the afternoon wore away Howard
began to curse the conVentionalitieS
Here he was within a few feet of this
peerless girl-as he had already begun
to term her-and yet to all practical
purposes was miles and miles away
He had always been slow to scrape ac-
quaintance, even with men, and, so
far as he could remember, had never
in his life done so with a woman. I'm
less Dorothy-he heard her aunt call
her Dorothy-should give him an open
ing, he told himself sadly, that he
should never venture to address her.
After awhile a waiter passed through
the car announcing dinner. Howard
was hungry, but determined to wait
until Dorothy should go in. The car
might be crowded and he might be
compelled to sit with her at the same
table, where he might hope that the
chances of the meal might enable him
to address her. But wait as he might,
Dorothy showed no signs of budging,
and, long after the last call for dinner
had been circulated, he was forced to
go in alone.
While dining he wondered over the
situation. The girl had eaten nothing
since she came on board the train
nearly six hours before. She had no
lunch with her-not even a box Of
candy She was solid, healthy girl,
not by any means one of those fragile
beauties who live on air, and should
have had an appetite to correspond.
What the dickens could be the matter?
The next morning was the same.
Dorothy sat motionless, looking in the
eyes of the by-this- time besotted
youth, lovelier than ever. AS a matter
of fact, the lack of her morning coffee
had given the girl headache, while the
lack of other food made her savage and
miserable.
At last came a crisis. Just as the
waiter passed through with his last
call for breakfast in the dining car"
the train stopped, not at a station,
but out in q field. After ten minutes
had crept by without sign Of move
ment, Howard, who had been waiting
for breakfast as he had waited for
dinner, went out to investigate. Soon
he came back and went straight up to
Dorothy with determination In his
eyes. IT beg your pardon" he said,
with composure that astonished
himself, "but we have been stopped by
a wreck across the track and will be
delayed at least six hours. They are
going to cut off the diner and send 1T
back as soon as breakfast is over. If
you want anything to eat you had bet
ter get it now, before it is too late"
Six hours longer! The tears came
into Dorothy's eyes, and her lids ouiy-

woman start. "Graciousi" she ex-
claimed, I'll be carried off. Good-by,
Dorothy. Write as soon as you get to
New York. I'll be anxious till hear"
The two hurried to the platform,
where the girl stood smiling and wav-
ing until the train was we'll under way.
So well under way was it, indeed, that.
as she turned to enter the car, a sud
den lurch threw her violently to one
side and made her grasp the rail to
steady herself. AS she did so, her
purse, hung to her belt by a chain,
flew open and sent most of its contents
at large through the yet Enclosed doors
of the veStibule.
Unaware of this, however, Miss Yer
non walked to her seat, glancing
around her just in time to see How
ard watching her. Both were think
ing of the good lady's anxious hosni-
tality, and before they could recover
themselves they had smiled souarely
into one another's eyes.
With quickly stiffened lips, Dorothy
sank into her seat. AS she did so. her
purse swung forward into her lap, ex-
posing its emptiness to her startled
gaze. With q gasp Of dismay, she
seized and examined 1t. Her ticket was
safe In an inner compartment, but
every cent of her money was gone.
IL uio AOl TAKE ueE long TO decide on
the moment of her loss, nor the hope
lessness of repairing it, Miss Vernon
was very independent young woman,
who on more than one occasion in the
four years that had elapsed since she
had begun to earn her own bread had
seen her funds depleted nearly to the
vanishing point, yet never before had
she found herself entirely penniless.
There was nothing to be done, however,
to telegraph to Aunt Bessie for more
money would be to brighten that lady
almost to death, and there was no one
else on whom she felt at liberty to
call. She must simply resolve to make
the best of her Journey, all twenty
four hours Of it, without money.
Meanwhile, Howard had been watch

eye, admiring her more every moment
