any name or address. Therefore there
 was some excuse for the Pullman DOT ter getting them mixed up and when the new wife and husband left the
 train at their first stopping place on i the long journey which they had con-
 templated unloading upon the driver
 of the cab the wrong item of baggage.
 The blunder was not discovered until the bride was preparing to dress for
 the evening at the home of her friend. Augustus was in an adjoining room and getting into his best togs when there came a timid tap at the door. He found Elinora standing in the hall with such fury blazing from her eyes as he had only seen once before-the day he had taken her dearest enemy among the girls out on the lake to search for water lilies.
 Now, what's the matter, Nell?' he asked.
 Her only reply for moment was to swing around from behind her an open suit case and to point to it with a fin- ger. A shiny revolver, seryeral boxes Of cartridges, half a dozen decks of cards and lot of the more intimate apparel of the masculine person were it's contents.
 This is queer go," said Augustus,

 Tears gave away to smiles at the Idea Of doing shopping turn, and in live minutes Elinora was ready for the expedition. She returned from it tn an hour fairly well equipped for the evening. and while she still Iamented the absence of the gown that she had gotten up for the occasion she was partially modified by the impression she made.
 MT. Snagsby, commercial traveller, went to a city of a couple of hundred l miles beyond. When he opened what ne presumed to be his suit case in his notel that night it took him 60 seconds to recover from paralysis. He dragged out fashionable low cut gown, var lous other articles that he, being a hatchelor, was anacquainted with, and finally gold medal bearing a feminine hrst name on one side and a date. on the other.
 Guess I'll have to sleep tonight without my pa1amas," he said to him- self. If I had suspected this I'd have 1 given that porter Diff in the ribs in- l stead of half dollar"
 The Snagsby though up an idea. 1 First the business of appealing to the | railroad people for rectification of the l error was gone through with, but it | was the luck of the three persons most ] concerned that the two pieces of bag gage persistentlyi. lodged each other l But, after all, the processes of Snags- | oy's intellectual laboratory got in their work. x
 His journey carried him all the way .o Denver. He was sitting at break last one morning in a hotel in that 'ity when 8 man and a woman took 'eats opposite him. AS he rose to cave the table she nudged her cempan- on and whispered to him. The man got up and intercepted snagsby at the 1oor of the room.
