chemist who sold "antifat" to pose for
his picture of before" and "after" treat

suit of gutta-percha and was then in

fessional witness. Your case gels into
the paper; you are knocked down by a

though that, as Mrs. Todgers said, was
a fault on the right side. But even then,

Jinkins couldn't leave the youngest

so; m to play. The breathing of the
youngest gentleman was heard through
the keyhole Of the door. He didn't play.
What vent was a flute for the passions

The serenade approached its close.
Its GROWING interest was at hand. The

in company, who, for the reasons afore-
said, maintained a fearful silence. The
song (which IA of a classical narure),
invoked the oracle of Apollo. and de-
manded to know what would become OF
Todgers' when Charity and Mercy
were banished from its walls. This
oracle delivered no opinion particular
ly worth remembering, according to the
not infrequent practices of oracles from
the earliest ages down to the present
time. In the absence of enlis htenment
on that subject, the strain deserted it
and went on to show that the Miss Peck

hadn't been an island there could have
been no Miss Pecksniffs. And being
now on a nautical tack, it closed with
this verse:

A DULCET SERENADE.

During this season of moonlit even
ings and soulful s%erenades it is consol-
ing sometimes TO turn to Charles Dick
ems and by reading know that others in
the bygone years have been put through
their tortures. If description counts
for anything one can easily imagine that
the quartette which serenaded the
young lady next door" last night IA
composed of the same young men who
poured out their seething souls i'll

the Misses Pecksniff on the V Of their

dismal could have been desired by the
most fastidious taste. The gentleman
of a vocal turn was head mute. or CHIEF
mourner; Jinkins took the bass and the
rest took anything they could get. The
youngest gentleman blew his mela1-
choly into a flute. He didn't blow much
out of it, but thai was all the better. II
the W. Miss Pecksniffs and Mrs. Tod
gers had persisted by spontaneous COM
bustion. and the serenade had been in
honor of their ashes, ii would have been
impossible to surpass the u%nutterable
despair expressed in that one chorus:
GO where glory waits thee" 1t was IA
requiem, a dirge, a moan, a howl, a
vail, a lament; an abstract of everything
that is sorrowful and hideous in sound.
The flute of the youngest gentleman was
wild and 1itful. 1t came and went in

William R. Stewart conceives tie idea
Of firing bombs of muriate OF am

This is the way one Of the chaIac-
tiers in the story tells Of it:
We forged ahead to get closer c
the enemy, and did not pay much at
tention to the long range shot or
two which the Japanese CHANGED at
random, even when n shell struck
not q hundred yards away. That
gave us an idea of the distance, though,
and soon afterward came the com
mand from Miller: Ready there with
the smoke bombs. A mile and a quar-
ter. Let go one!'
Out into the night shot the gas
laden projectile. but it fell short OF its
mark, plunging impotently into the
sea away this side. A volley from
the battleship greeted this disclosure
of Il position.
