re late So William Harcourr was an exceed
ingly absent minded man. and all sorts OF amusing
stories used be current in London with regard 10
his fame in this particular. The following es.e Will
show that this reputation by means uEde-
served 1t seems that during IA very busy London
season he after consulting his list OF engagements
went To dinner Monday night. lie sancied
that he observed, making his entrance To the
drawing room that his host and hostess looked at
him with surprise and even embarrassment BUT
he did not think anything more about the matter
ana enjoyed himself very much. on Tuesday he
kept another dinner engagement. which was entered
in MS book and again he noticed almost fright
ensd look passing between his host and hostess
when his name announced. once more the en-
barrassment proved transitory and Sir William had
another thoroughly enjoyable evening. The same
thing took place Wednesday and Thursday
night and Friday. while keeping the last Of the
engagements of the week which marked
down on his book. he found that the butler who
was TO announce him was an old acquaiutaRce-had
formerly been IN his service. The man, however
started back and gazed AZ him open mOuthed

At a Well-known college a certain
professor had been repeatedly inter-
rupteG in the course of his lecture by
a group of students in one corner of
the room, and at last felt constrained
to administer a severe rebuke.
A deep silence followed, and the
professor paused before proceeding
with his discourse, when there float
ed in through the open windows the
loud and unmistakable sounds Of a
donkey's braying. The situation was
ludicrous, and the mirthfulness of the
students found vent in half-sup-
pressed outburst of laughter.
The professors face remained stern
and set, and as soon as order was re-
stored he raised his eyes and, look
ing steadily at the unruly scholars in
the corner, quietly remarked, Don't
respond, please; don't respond"

The Boston Herald says a little re.
Election has brought the Democracy to
realize that not all the protectionists
are in the Republican party. This is
true. Many Democrat has seen the
efficacy Of protection demonstrated
time and again until he has come to
see that, after all, it is the desirable
policy for this country to maintain,
Still, the leaders who will control the
course of the Democratic party are
most of them committed to the very
opposite tariff theory, and if we are
TO have any assurance of maintaining
the tariff protective policy, the only
way is to keep in power the party

Flo Jardine had her hand on the
door knob and would have entered
her fiance's room unannounced, as
her own name, uttered in loud tones
by an unknown voice, stopped her. 1t
could not be possible that George was
discussing her, and with perfect
stranger, too! The thing was prepos-
terous! She could not go in, but she
would never condescend to eavesdrop-
ping. Certainly not! But where was
she to go? There was no place but
the seat opposite the Office door, and
the conversation would reach her
there. Well, she would close her ears
and not pay any attention. Animated
by this most excellent resolution she
took her seat,bu again she heard tho
strange voice repeating her name even
louder than before.
What will Miss Jardine say to the
whole story, eh?" the speaker demand
ed. Thereupon the lady referred to
threw all scruples to the wind. She
would scarcely have been human not
to have listened. She was to be his
wife in a week, and they should have
no secrets.
81 can't help it, and I'll thank you
not to introduce Miss Jardine's name
into the discussion. l was a fool not
to tell her all about it. After all, there
was nothing to tell" came the reply,
in the tones she knew so well.
4,
beautiful letters you wrote to my Sal
all flowers and perfumes, and setting
suns and rising moons, and such-like
rot-was that nothing, eh?"
Il admit that l was a fool. Forum
ately. however, l had my awakening
soon enough. Your daughter threw
me over when someone else came on
the scene" said George.
"She wrote you telling you of her
undying love before you cut to Eng
land" replied the other slyly, and with
an apparent chuckle in his voice.
Yes, after my uncle had died and
left me his fortune and business.
think Miss Sarah realized then that
she had been a bit too previous
"All her letters to you are loving
enough any way, I'll bet. Sal knows
her book. It's no use putting things
on paper-say them, that's ny way"
said the stranger truculently.
Il suppose that's why you're here
to-day"
Right you are, my cookie"
well, since you have taken the
trouble to come all the way from the
backwoods of Australia to see me,
suppose you want something. What is
it," said George.
Now, that's business! Well, hear
as how you've come into a very tidy
fortune here, and by rights Sal should
be sharing it, and /, as the poor old
I father getting on in years, would be
kept in comfort and plenty for the
rest of my life. A store in the back
woods is not what 4 was, you know.
Well. what do you say to $4,000?
| It's too little, but I'm a very lenient
man." the stranger remarked persua-
sively.
You unmitigated scoundrel! Do
you mean to tell me you've come here

uncle's business and fortune, and here
he was at home on the point of being
married. There was no doubt that
he was desperately in love this time,
but the thought of those letters to
Sally Jarvis, the daughter Of the Wool
aborg storekeeper, made him go hot
all over.
81 tell you again not to mention
Miss Jardine's name-she has nothing
to do with this" he said angrily.
ooh, hasn't she? She soon will have,
l fancy! When she gets your letters
to Sal into her hand she may conclude
that she has something to do with it..
III warrant you don't bluff her. I've
known lots of women in my day, and
my experience tells me that they don't
like the lightly-come lightly-go kind of
gentleman. Think of that, Mr.. George
Moscroft 'Geordie Gray-eyes'-as
they called you out yonder! Think of
that, l say!"
Look here, Jarvis, don't talk non
sense. What is there in it all? Moth
ing. l went out to Australia, and fate
took me to Woolaborg. That was two
years ago. l was very lonely up there
in the bush. l was pining for home.
You kept a store there and had a
pretty daughter-the only woman
within fifty miles, except Nancy, your
servant. l made love to her, and she
encouraged me. Neither of us had
real feeling at stake in the matter.
Though l thought at the time l had l
