A Successful Salesman.

The late Thomas Bracket Reed
used to relate the following incident
which happened one summer while he
was spending a few days in small
fishing village on the New England
coast.
young countryman who had been
advised to take sea baths registered
at the village hotel one evening, and
shortly afterward sauntered down to
the beach. Espying grizzled old
fisherman mending his nets beneath a
sign which informed one that B
had boats and tackle to let and bait
for sale, he accosted the veteran and
asked him if the water was not for
sale also. On receiving an Affirmative
reply the countryman returned to the
hotel, obtained a couple of buckets.
and, having paid the price asked, filled
them and returned to his room to
carry out the doctors instructions.
On the following morning he hap
pened down at the beach when the
tide was out, and after contemplating
the broad receding beaches for some
minutes. approached his acquaintance
of the evening before and remarked
in a tone of admiration, Gosh. but
you must have done some business

"Groom Of the Feather Cloak" Fell

When King Kalakaua of Hawaii Wis

as was the ancient fashion. Finally
it was decided to let Robert, one or
his attesdants, wear it. William N
Armstrong, the kings attorney-gener-
al says This additional service de-
lighted Robert, who now, according to
a confidential statement made to his
Japanese attendant, was keeper OF
thea royal standard groom of the
feather cloak and valet in ordinary.
While in the imperial car. on the way
to Tokyo. the kings suite had sud-
denly seen Robert, sitting in state in
the luggage car. dressed in silk hat,
white gloves and with the gorgeous
royal cloak hanging over his should
ers. the tableau being completed by
group of Japanese attendants who
were standing before him, lost in ad-
miration." But Robert was scarcely
equal to the dignity that was his. In
his capacity OF valet he preceded the
party to the palace assigned to them.
and discovered there abundance OF
wines and spirits. which he consumed
until they arrived. He was found
asleep in the kings bed chamber. with
the silk hat far down over his head
and the gorgeous cloak askew on his
shoulders. He was at once deposed

The blade cut her leg to the bone.
and she shrieked with pain: but her
startled horse had no thought of stop
ping. Making mis- way with plunges
and leaps, he carried her out of the
press sooner than she could have guild
ed him out. Once on the edge, he
broke into run. The agony of the
shaken wound was unbearable. Shrek
ing and moaning, she twisted her
hands in the lines and tried to stop
him. But her strength was ebbing
from her with her blood. By and by
she dropped the rein altogether and
clung to the saddle-bow.
They reached the wood at last, cool
and sweet and hushed in holy peace.
The frantic horse plunged into one of
the arching lanes, and the dir of the
hunt dies behind her; silence fell like
a curtain at their heels; even the thud-
ding hoof-beats were softened on the
leafy ground Randalin lay along the
horses neck now, and her senses had
begun to slip away from her like the
tide from the shore. Somewhere.
there was the soft thud of a falling
body; then the cool greenness closed
around her and held her tenderly, a
crumped leaf that the whirlwind had
dropped from its sport.
