A Careful cobbler.

An amusing case OF experience
through ones appearance is related by
lady who went into cobbler's shop
in town in Scotland and left pair of
rough and ready shoes to be mended.
She was plainly dressed as a traveller
and evidently made no particular i'm.
preston on the mind of the shoe mend
er. In a few days, on returning from
some festal occasion, the lady stopped
her carriage at the cobbler's door and
went herself into the shop to get her
shoes. But the man told her he had no
shoes belonging to her, and when she
pointed them out he fatty refused to
let her have them, insisting that they
did not belong to her. She left, deter
mined to get the aid of the police II
necessary to obtain her property. but
the next day she concluded to try
again. This time she was more sue.
cessful, but as the man handed her
shoes to her he told her that a strange
woman in carriage had tried to get
them away from him.
"She was a sight BONNER than your
self, but / wur moo carried ava WI
her." he said as he handed her the
package, and the owner Of the shoes
realized that she was another sort OF
woman In her travelling gown and bore
no resemblance to her other self in par
ty attire. 1t was case of mistaken
Identity that was curious and convinc.

GRATITUDE
Versus
JEALOUSY
BY Robert Jermain Cole

COPYRIGHT, 1905, by Eugene PARCELS

Julia Forman watched her two
friends run down the beach together
and plunge, with a shout Of laughter,
into the big wave that rolled up to
meet them. 1t made pleasant sight
for the crowd on the sands, but Julia
was not in mood to be an impartial
spectator She had come down for
three days, she could not swim, and
she thought the time was too short in
which to try to learn.
Allan Wright and Bess Hart were
water comrades of many summers.
Julia would not spoil their sport. She
had known Allan Wright only in town,
and here she felt almost like an in
truder. They had urged her to join
them, but she fancied it was from po-
likeness.
Seating herself on the sand, Julia
began to dig furrow with the heel Of
her small shoe Then she looked out

to say the words.
1T must be-a-~glorious = thing-to
know that you sayed-her-lifer Then
she added with self forgetful pleas
ure I'VE are ALL am so grateful to
you. Mr.. Wright"
you all make too much of It." ex.
claimed Allan hastily. Then he spoke
again with an earnestness Julia had
never heard in a mans voice.
''Do you know what was thinking
when / went down for her? / thought
If didn't save her you would never
forgive me. Not that | shouldn't have
tried anyway, but when / thought OF
you simply could not fail" An In
credulous look stole into Julia's eyes
You don't mean you were thinking
of anybody but Bsss at such mo
ment?" she asked.
"Not only that" returned Allan, at
even flashed through my mind that
wished it were you that ] was saving.
1t would be very sweet to have you
owe your life to me-"
THAT would not be very big debt, "
said julia, speaking as lightly as she
could and trying to smile up at him.
The effort had so little success that she
turned away her face.
at would be the greatest thing on
Gods EARTH" declared Allan, with an
almost religious fervor of tone. He
walked around where he could look al
her, dropping upon the sand at her
side
"Never mind about that now," he
said. Your life would be yours to give
or keep even though man should save
it. If you gave 1t for gratitude's sake
it would be no true gift want you,
dear, without any reason"
But don't you care for-for"-
Nobody but you"
~ thought was afraid"- The rest
Of her words Allan broke on the lips
that would say them with his own. A
moment later he said triumphantly:
well, l don't know why you care
for me, but know it isn't gratitude"
'How do you know it isn't jealousy ?"
asked Julia, with suspicion of tear
ON her lashes.
If it is, then wen change jealousy
to another page in the dictionary" he
cried joyously.

THE GIRL.
on the water, where she could see the
heads Of her two friends, swimming
side by side. She turned her parasol
around so as to shut off the ocean.
Julia recalled the two last times she
had seen Allan. During those talks
slight acquaintance had quickly de-
veloped into close sympathy. They
had felt together that delicious sur
prise that comes when one finds that
another has entered the same hidden
door Of thought or fancy whose key
only they two in all the world possess.
They had just begun to talk of things
that opened up long, winding ways
through the forest Of dreams, when
Julia's mother had taken her off to the
mountains While they were gone Al
lan's family went to the shore for the
summer and he went with them.
Whether Bess Harris lively ways had
won him or not Julia was unable to
decide Certainly they were very good
friends.
Julia raised her parasol and looked
out again toward the swimmers. They
were coming back now. Suddenly she
saw the girls arm go up In the air and
then her head sank out of sight. An
instant later the man, too, had disap-
peared beneath the surface. Julia's
heart seemed to stop beating She
could not cry out or raise herself
from the sand. Then the mans head
rose into view, and beside him he had
the girl.
Julia struggled to her feet and ran
toward the water. A broken wave
rolled up and wet her ankles, but she
did not heed it. She called to the bath
ing master again and again. At last
he turned, and she pointed out toward
the man and the girl Allan was hold
ing his own, but Bess appeared to be
unconscious, and he had to support
her as dead weight.
1t was not long before the bathing
master had gained his side, and the
| two were able to reach shallow water
| with their burden. Then, raising the
| girls limp slenderness in his arms.
| Allan carried her ashore and laid her
| gently on the beach. Julia knelt by
her friend and put her ear to the wet
| garment over her heart. Then she
looked up quickly to Allan.

| She did not return, but walked out tc
the beach as far away as che could

sat down and pressed her heel into
the sand. She heard a step behind
her, but did not turn. Then Allan;
