He Knew the Law,

"A Civil War veteran, several times
representative from his own district
to the New Hampshire Legislature.
and at one time speaker Of the House.
had just returned home from a clos
ing session of the legislature, at which.
says writer in the Manchester Union.
the law pertaining to the right of way
to pedestrians had been passed.
He was crossing the street from his.
office ole day soon after his return,
when an electric car came bounding
along. The motorman, alive to the
danger of the veteran, made frantic,
efforts to attract his attention, and
when they failed, shouted:
Look out, major! If you don't get
off the track 1 shall run over you"
The mayor stopped stock-stiil in the
middle of the track.
IF you do, young man, you'll hang
for it." he said, firmly.

TO the conversation, and wondering if
her father would touch on the subject
OF their identity during Jack visit; but
MIR. Mallett did not wish to be made the
topic Of gossip among Miss Mailing
sci.
When Jack was about to leave, Mr..
Maliett decided to walk part of the way
with him, and accordingly went down
stairs first. Jack turned, with the door
handle in his hand, to thank Ethel for
what she had done-yet hardly to thank
her, either.
Il can't go without thanking you for
being SO candid with me, Ethel" he
said. "Of course was very surprised
when l received your letter breaking of
the engagement; but equally of course
there was nothing for me to do but &C
quiesce in your wish"
Ethel felt how ungenerous this remark
was, seeing that his neglect had led to
what had happened; but she would not
be driven into reproachlng him, and sc
give him cause to justify himself. Her
feelings were too real to bear dissec-
ton. and she avoided the discussion.
THAT is all passed." she said, grave
ly; "better let 1t rest"
Though she did not say one word in
self-defense, there was a world Of re-
proach in the subdued tones Of her ad
vice: though her speech was so indif-
ferent, her whole manner asserted her
right to be considered more than blame.
less throughout the affair.
Jack felt miserably small under her
calm gaze, and his respect for her was
vastly increased by this little passage at
arms; and, as he was carried by the af
ternoon express back to Mallingford
Park, he could not shake from his mind
the fable of the dog and the shadow.

SCHOONER SIGNAL
AGAIN DELAYED
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


TACOMA, Dec s.-The misfortunes
to which the steam schooner Signal
has been subjected since she was COM
PEELED to put into Port Townsend in
a sinking condition a month ago were
added to today with the fall of her
master. Captain George Monroe, from
the gang plank into the sound. In
falling Monroe struck the rail of the
ribs that rendered him helpless while
In the water. He was rescued and
taken to the United States Marine Hos
pital for surgical care, and the vessel
is again detained.
The crew of the Signal have pro-
nounced the craft a hoodoo They
recite that in October fair start was
made from Grays Harbor for San
Francisco with lumber. When off the
mouth of the Columbia River a gale
blew the vessel off her course and
opened the seams in her hull to an
extent that laundering was imminent
for three days. BY good fortune the
Signal was driven into the sound.
At Port Townsend half the cargo
was discharged and the vessel pro-
ceeded to Winslow to repair. while
returning from the shipyards the ves-
sci went aground at Point Hudson.
Freed without damage, docking was
effected and the cargo discharged to
permit of the making of repairs, after
which she was again loaded This
morning the work of the stevedores
was completed and arrangements were
made for getting TO sea. Captain Mon
roe had spent the night In town with
friends and fell while going aboard the

Here is. the latest parrot story. A
certain retired general Of the Indian
army possessed parrot and also q
very iraseible temperament. The PAR
rot was a valuable bird. but was rather
nuisance by reason Of its extreme
talkativeness. One day while the gem
eral was writing his business letters
the parrot kept up a continual chatter,
very disturbing to the writer. At last
the general could stand it no longer,
and, jumping up, he seized the cage Of
the unhappy bird, which he whirled
vigorously round and round. at the
same time shouting furiously. Then
he set the cage down again. and ST.
lence for some time ensued. AT length,
however. feeble voice came from the
interior of the cage.
