ways used To admire Flumuery the

situation; II made him So brilliant,
you remarked. Now, why can't
you regard me as brilliant A.? I'd be
willing to do anything wicked for
he sake of your admiration, m y
dear, even to standing myself up in
barrel of my own lard, and setting
fire to myself. which would be de-
cidedly wicked of me, and very
brilliant.
"Pretty time to choose to go to
acting up, and breaking your heart
staying out nights just when you are
in the midst of so many troubles
no diamonds, no silver, and the
carriage and horses going tomor
row." Wasn't the carriage and

dale road; no it wasn't either, it was
on the race course, Mrs. Rasher;
and that's what's kept me, and a
racy time we had of it. I'd tell
you all about il, if hsdn't this

shoulder and see il it is sprained,
or spawned, or anything; it hurts

coat torn ?" Well, how did it ?
that is what I'd like to know my.
self, my love; you shouldn't ask
questions that you can't answer.
Probably it tore itself when was
thrown out OF Betman's gig, yeslcr-
day. 1t would be just like the
Plaguey coats tdilors make now a.
days-and you see, the coat and
the wearer were both in the same
condition, little tight, my love.
"How did 1 come to be thrown
out ?" Well, now, upon my word,
I'd answer you candidly if knew
just how it occurred; but it's as
much of puzzle TO me as 10 you.
We were going pretty fast, and
whether we ran against stone or
a stone ran against us, can't posi-

wondering how came there. Ii

had il on my back for twelve hours
without being aware Of it, As Bet.
