osity about the silk mills and this would be Il good time to gratify it. The widow suddenly decided that Tommy might get over his illness without any of her help. She had her fair share of sisterly affection, but Tommy was one of these fellows that always played baby even with a cold in the head.
 Two mornings later the judge took an early morning walk. It was an hour before breakfast. He walked down to the depot to see the 6:20 train go out. He was on time, and he saw the Widow Chatham there. She lodged him and returned to the hotel instead of taking the train. When they met at breakfast neither one said anything about their walk, but the landlord rub bed his hands and smiled and said to his wife:
 Marie, my magnificence grows. The widower and the widow were out for a sunrise walk this morning. That means love and matrimony. I was the one to introduce them and bring two happy hearts together. Of course 1t will go into both bills as an extra"
 There is a pretty fair mountain at Lausanne. It is high enough to have precipices and rugged enough to put a man out of wind to climb It. When you have followed Lovers walk" far enough you strike into Hearts high way" and quarter of a mile farther you debouch upon a platform called 'Maiden's rest" The judge and the widow had been up there twice. On the afternoon of the early morning walk they took the path again. When they had reached the plateau and found seats and had few words to say about the view the widow looked the judge fair in the eyes and said:
 MT. Fordham, in about three min utes, unless you promise to leave Lau- same by the evening train, I shall be- gin to scream"
 "Yes," he calmly replied.
 'T shall run down the path shouting for help"
 "Yes.'
 q shall meet people and declare that understand what that will mean to you.'
 Certainly, but there are loopholes in your plan. For instance, I have no less than three witnesses concealed be- hind the rocks up here. Then I have a telegram to the effect that your Broth CT Tommy is in custody at Lyons. I also have second stating that his ex- tradition papers, for which have been waiting these many days, are ready for me-
 Where do come in?" she asked after awhile.
 You don't come in. Tommy did the embedding, and you simply ran away with him. So far as my instructions go, you are to be left behind here in Europe to enjoy yourself as best you may. No doubt you have some of the stolen money to pay your bills with, but was not instructed to arrest you. I was simply keeping tab on you until the papers were ready for Tommy. Is there anything more to say?'
 ''Sir, do not know you" answered the widow as she arose and started down the path by her lonesome.
 
 And so you go away to LyonsT' re- peated the landlord after the judge had announced his intentions.
 Yes; have to go.'
 And the widow from Chicago, Can ada?"
 ''I must leave her in your keeping. We have had misunderstanding. You know how cantankerous American widows are''
 Maria" said the landlord to his wife that evening, ''I may be magnificent and I may not. The widower and the widow have quarreled and he has started for Lyons, and it may be that he will never come back to plead for reconciliation. The main point, how ever, Is that charged him two extras for falling In love with another guest of my house and falling out again, and maybe I am magnificent after all"
