I'VE shall Find Il Out Some pay.v

I'VE Shall Find II Out Some Day"
About the beginning of the month Of
April, 1884, the family Of Mr. Silas Bur
rift observed certain alteration in
that gentleman's habits and demeanor.
II appeared TO those who studied
him that he became imbued with an
air of anticipation-that he started
when a knock was heard at the door,
and that the advent of the postman
was awaited by him, II not with anx-
iety, at any rate with an amount Of
eager expectancy which was, in gem
eral way. quite foreign TO him.
II was also observed that the nearer
they drew to the end of the month,
the more these symptoms became ex-
aggerated; and, as day after day
went by unmarked by an unusual oc-
currence, he was observed to shake
his head with half-smile and half
sigh, and mutter, as he thought to
himself, Dead or forgotten After
which, he remained plunged in refiec-
ton for a considerable time
Il was his son Edward-more gem
orally known as "Ted'-who happened
to o head these words, and they
caused him no small amount of be-
wilderment.
He stood with his sister May In the
hall OF Mr. Burritt's large, old-fash-
Toned house at Dulwich Il was about
seven o'clock in the evening that. as
the brother and sister were talking in
low voices. the former was Interrupted
by the sound of an abrupt, loud, double
knock.
There's the seven o'clock post"
said the girl. 81 wonder IL there's any
thing for father this time? II there
is, Pll--"
But as she turned towards the direc-
ton OF the letter box, the study door
was thrown hurriedly open and an
elderly gentleman rushed across the
hall, and extricated from its receptacle
one letter in a thin. foreign looking en-
vslope. the direction on which was
written In large. scrawling hand,

EIoored the EnaIIshman.

At a dinner party in London Miss
Beatrice Herford was taken down by
an Englishman whom she discovered
to be a fellow of the Royal Geographic
society and who professed to know by
name all the places on the map of
England. Miss Herford had long strug-
gled with such names as Cholmondeley
tJhumley) Crichton, (Cryton,) and
the rest, and this struck her as an OPP
portunity -.

a Royal Geographer," she said, you

The Royal Geographer was puzzled,
and asked II she was sure she had pro

spelled.

A little later, when his sister, who
had again had recourse to her plano.

man put his head inside the door of
the room in which she was. and the
following brief conversation ensued:
Il say. May. do you know. 1t has
just occurred to me that the guv'nor
never mentioned the name of the
friend he was going to bring back with
him"
The scale of C major came to an
abrupt conclusion. "To be sure he

Mr.. Burrltt arrived at his destination
between six and seven. Alightlng,
he gave a hasty and comprehensive
glance round; as though he thought 1t
half possible that he might be met by
someone Then he left the station and
proceeded In the direction Of the Lord
Warden"
Arriving at that famous hostelry he
made a certain inquiry of the waiter
who came forward to meet him. To
which the reply was, that the gentle.
man referred to had crossed by the
boat that morning and had engaged a
private sitting room, leaving word that
he expected friend from town, who
was to be shown up Immediately on
giving his name.

"Then please to walk this way. sir"
The man ushered him up a flight of
stairs and along a corridor, then, In.
dicating particular door, said This
is the room the gentleman has taken.
Il will announce myself" said Mr..
Burritt, and the man withdrew
Then, after a pause Of few sec
onds, he tapped lightly at the door. A
voice from within cried; Come I'M!
and answering the summons he turned
the handle and entered, The occupant
Of the apartment, tall, lean, elderly

and TO the Isle OF Man, and Banks
got up and left. For when he was
ashore he was very religious. Even
at sea he carried prayer book and
an odd volume OF virulent sermons,
of the kind which indicate that no
man need forgive any enemy who is
not of the same persuasion. But to
tell the truth, Banks could have for
given anything but an insult to his
beloved rocks.

But the Simeon had luck, and
slipped through as If Aeolus never

happily, and sang an extra hymn on
Sunday, compensating the men (other-
