A callant Quixote.

Northerners have got so accustomed
to the curt demands Of street railway
employees to Step lively" and Move
up 'front.' that the phrases have lost
much OF their harshness Crowded
traffic requires that men and women
should step lively for their own good
In order that the cars may make
schedule time
In the south, where the stress Of life
is not 30 rude and the fine natural
courtesy Of the southerner has leisure
to flourish, the manners of an employee
of northern street railway would not
be tolerated; hence a refreshing little
scene recorded In the Outlook.
An inexperienced middle aged south
erner mounted the platform OF a car
In northern city. The conductor, not
dreaming of harm, had just propelled
fair looking woman into the crowded
interior with the customary push and
the words, step livelyP'
The southerner took the center Of
the situation by saying to him In an
intense voice:
you dare lay your hands upon an
other lady and III knock you on the
CARP
The faces Of the downtrodden race
Of passengers lighted I'D. The con-
ductor stared, then realized the situa-
ton. As long as the southerner rode
on the platform the amenities OF life
were observed.

needs Don Quixote in a good many

ness they can scarcely distinguish
those figurative milestones which are
said to serve as guides by day. TheiT
vision may be keen, but it is difficult ia
believe that the birds do ''go by those
same guides at night, especially as
they are often between two and thred
miles aloft. says Home Notes.
The supposition is that these crea.
lures, like human mariners, shape theiI
course by the stars Whether they eau

theory receives support from the fact
that when the stars are obscured by

JUDITH VS..

'Forty-five cents from 81, 55 cents.

The cashier opened small drawer

The girl cast hurried glance around,

the girls at their lunch near her desk
came to her, and she knew that the
proprietor was observing 1t all under
his discreetly lowered eyelids only a
few feet away. Judith's heart gave a
great thump. Then she looked square
ly at her tormentor and said:
"Mr. Iauderdale, l will not go out

A half sneer crept up under the in

There was nothing brilliant about
Parkinson. Indeed, his mental proc

the sort of man who would listen to a
capital story with the face of a craven
image, null over 1t the rest of the even

quite alone, he would discover the point

kinson was a man to be depended
upon. You always knew where to find
him. You were sure that what he said
he meant and that what he meant he
would stick to through thick and thin.
He was tall, broad of shoulder, and
his homely face radiated good nature
Although the bulk of the great Parkin-
son fortune was his, he sat daily before

little money did not render him exempt
from honest work, said Parkinson, and
this was why the foreign accounts of
Thorpe & TOllman were kept In his
round, boyish handwriting and also
why Parkinson received $15 at noon
every Saturday, which sum, be it stat
ed, did not cover the cost of his lunches
and cigars
Now, when it came time for Parkin-

everything else-slowly, methodically,
