Hat on a Frolic

The young man seemed to be of q
particularly mild disposition and the
straw hat he wore was not out of the
ordinary, but the combination was the
cause of series of mishaps on Sew.
enth avenue car the other day. And
it was closed car at that. The young
man and the hat took seat we'll for
ward and were soon in deep thought
at least the young man was. The
hat was evidently cooking up mis-.
chief.
The chance came at last. 1t was
blowing gale in the street and hats
were flying in all directions. The sight
probably fired the ambition of the hat
on the young mans head.
At Twenty-third street the car
stopped. A stout woman climbed on
the front platform and the motorman
obligingly opened the door for her
With the woman came the tail end of
particularly fierce gust of wind
which hit the car plumb center. The
hat arose from the young mans head,
seemed to pause for a, moment in
mid-air as though selecting victim,
and then started on it's aerial flight.
1t nipped off the eyeglasses of a
choleric looking old man, caromed
across the car and smacked German
woman in the face. Then, gathering
fresh impetus from an open window,
it sailed up to the roof of the car,
tried to ring up couple of fares on
the register, and fell into the lap of

cannot write a decent business letter,
write, then, to the adorable Cornelia;
the words will be at your finger ends
for that letter, and will slip from your
pen as if they were dancing:
my Sweet Cornelia:
Il have not seen you for two days,

the noblest thing in my life, and to

"She is gone, Doctor"
"At what hour?"
1.-THE clock was striking three-she
went smiling"
Then he bowed his head and turned
away. There was nothing more that
he could do; but he remembered that
Arenta had stepped on board the La
Belle France as the clock struck
three, and that she also had gone
smiling to her unknown destiny.
Arriving home he very gently &C.
quainted Mrs. Moran with the death
of his young patient, and then asked,
where is Cornelia?"
II know not. She is asleep. The
ball tonight is to be fairy-land and
love-land, an Arabian nights dream
and q midsummer nights dream all in
one. I told her to rest, for she was
weary and nervous with expectation.
Tomorrow the Van Ariens' excite
ment will be over, and we shall have
rest"
II think not. The town is now
ready to move to Philadelphia. near
that Mrs. Adams is preparing to leave
Richmond Hill. Washington has
already gone, and Congress is to meet
In December"
"But this will not concern U.S."
"It may. If George Hyde does not
90 very soon to England, we shall go
to Philadelphia, wish to rid myself
and Cornelia of his airs and graces
and wearisome good temper, his sing
ing and reciting and tringham-trang-
ham poetry. This story has been long
enough; we will turn over and end
it."
ut will be a great trial to Cornelia."
''It may, or it may not-there is
Rem-Rem is your own suggestion.
However, we have all to sing the
hymn of Remuneration at some time;
it is well to sing it in youth"

CHAPTER Viii.
Two Proposals.

WI VtSPOSaIos
The ruling idea of any mind as.
sumes the foreground of thought, and
after Arenta's marriage the dominant
desire of George Hyde was to have his
betrothal to Cornelia recognized and
assured. He was in haste to light his
own nuptial torch, and afraid every
day of that summons to England which
would delay the event.
II may have to go away with mother
at any time-I may be detained by
events I cannot help-and have not
bound Cornelia to me by any personal
recognized tie-and Rem Van Ariens
will be ever near her. Oh, indeed, this
state of affairs will never do! will
write to Cornelia this very moment
and tell her l must see her father this
evening. cannot possibly delay it
longer. I have been a fool-a care
less, happy fool-too long"
He opened his secretary and sitting
resolutely down, began letter to DR..
Moran. He poured out his heart and
desires, and then he read what he had
written. 1t would not do at all. 1t
was a love letter and not a business
letter. He wrote another and then
another. When he had finished read
ing them over, he was in a passion
with himself.

evidently satisfied with its work.
The owner of the hat jumped after
it at the first stage of the desertion.
but was obliged to tack about the
stout woman whose entrance to the
car had caused the trouble. When he
got. by he failed to see the choleric
old man, who was blindly cropping for
his glasses on the floor of the car
and saying harsh things soto voce.
Therefore, the young man was hardly
to blame when his knee came into
violent contact with the choleric par
tvs ear, knocking off his hat. The
young man, who was crimson with
embarrassment, turned to apologize,
and, plunging forward in his confu-
sion, stepped squarely upon the crown
of his mischievous hat, which was re-
posing at the feet of the woman with
the baby.
The young man was still several
blocks from his destination, and the
rain had begun to fall; but somehow
he felt that his presence in the car
was rather embarrassing to the other
passengers, so he got off. The chole-
rio man found his hat and glasses,
but not his temper. The German wo-
man quoted . Wagnerian selections
while she prospected about her face
for possible scratches, and the wo-
man with the baby said something
that sounded like "chump." New

Phila delphian with Dogs to Hire Tells
some Secrets of the
Business.
A pet stock dealer Of Philadelphia has in
his shop window a sign that reads:
DOGS TO HIRE
BY DAY, WEEK OR HOUR.
Rates Reasonable.

A man asked the dealer the other day
the significance of the sign
"Oh, II means just what II says" the
dealer said. People like to hire dogs now
and then. the same as they like to hire
horses or pianos. clear from this branch
of my business quite $40 a week.
"Do you see that handsome Russian wolf
hound over there in the corner? Well, I
hire him out good deal to young women
who are going to be photographed. In Eng
land lot OF women OF fashion and In
America a lot of millionairesses have had
their pictures taken of late with Russian
wolf-hounds at their side. That has set a
fashion. Young women all over nowadays
desire to be photographed with wolf
hounds.
But do you know what a wolf-hound
like Pete there is worth? Well, sir he is
worth $500 or $500. And do you know what
he can be hired for a couple of hours for {?
He can be hired for sl.5O. Hence he is
hired often. He is in great demand. On
the mantel OF many a poor mans house
you can see today the wifes or the daugh-
ter's photograph with a magnificent Rus
sian wolf-hound in the foreground.
aside from hiring dogs for Photographic
purposes 1 hire them for promenades.
Young women visiting the city like to rent
Boston bull or a wire-haired Irish ter
rier to walk down Chestnut street with. A
good dog on a mornings walk gives a
young woman distinction. and II is now
possible, thanks TO me. for any girl to
achieve this distinction for 81 or 81.
The dogs for which there is most de-
mand are bulls, Boston bulls, terriers and
wolf-hounds. I require a deposit before I
let a dog go out"

1t is just fifty years ago today that
took my first lesson In English in read
ing the big signs over the stores of New
York City and these object lessons have
been continued of and on whenever
travel at home or abroad. The streets of
New York of 1854 were very unlike the
streets of New York in 1904. Broadway
was paved then with square blocks of
stone and on business days the rush of
omnibuses, drays and other vehicles that
choked the street from dawn to dusk was
simply deafening. The most rapid loco
motion was by ordinary carriage. The
street railway had not made it's appear
ance. The elevated road had not even
been imagined and a bridge across the
East river was an iridescent dream. The
tallest building in New York was not
over seven stories and the office building
had not yet been invented.

The sky was clear and the air quite
crisp on that memorable Christmas morn
ing, and the streets were crowded with
people arrayed in their holiday apparel.
Here and there was a policeman wearing a
fat Dutch cap with an elevated crown in
stead of the helmet Of today, pompously
directing the passing throng at the cross
ings AS everything was strange and new
to me in this new world, 1 gazed with in
tense interest at the quaint old buildings.
Lower Broadway half century ago still
retained its somber Dutch architecture,
with here and there a four or five-story,
nat-roofed American warehouse or store
building.

my father 1 am presented with my first
American Christmas gift-a pea green
jacket bought at ready-made clothes
shop for the muniicent sum of 50, which 1
proudly donned and wore for two years
thereafter. when it was transmitted for
further wear to one of my younger broth
ers. Presently we reached tenement
house, where my father hoped to meet an
old country acquaintance. We climbed up
two stories and knocked at the door, which
was opened by a negro of huge proper
tions and rather forbidding aspect. We
had never seen nor met a negro before
and preciptately retired two flights down
without explanation.

NY FIRST CHRISTMAS IN AMERICA

on Christmas morning. 1S4-just nifty
years ago tcday-I first set foot on Ameri-
can soil. Parting with kindred friends
and schoolmates at my native village In
Bohemia, in the middle Of September. and
accompanying my parents to the seaport
of Bremen, we traversed the ocean in the
packet ship Cleo" a three-mast sailing
vessel, and landed in New York harbor
after a voyage Of forty-two days Emerg-

AS we proceeded a few hundred yards up
Broadway l Viewed with awe the eight
zenith century cemetery that surrounds
Trinity cathedral and craned my neck to
the utmost in looking up at the steeple of
the monumental church ediice, which was
then the highest object visible in New
York. While taking a birds-eye view of
Greater New York out of the window of
the office occupied by The Bee, the other
day in the twenty-third story of Park
Row building, and yet two stories below
the highest floor, l looked down upon the
venerable edifce dwarfed into insignifi-
cance by granite, marble and steel struc-
lures Of cyclopian dimensions, looming up
in the sky line almost into the clouds. As

Broadway with the group of emigrants
carrying bundles and babies and gazing to
the right and to the left at everything and
everybody they passed. Bands OF music
are playing, jauntily dressed young men
in military uniforms are paradng the
streets, and the flags are flying from the
