anything be more foolish, more futile,
if concealmen. 'sas desired? II not
desired, the course was palpably more
foolish still.
Constance knew all this, but she
was strangely fascinated by the mans
personality, so like her husbands, ste
imagined. In few days. as she saw
nothing of the person, she decided to
call on Mrs. Fry and inquire whether
he was still confined to the house.
So with tumbler of currant jelly Mrs.
Hamilton approached the little house
one morning.
Some jelly for your boarder if he is
still sick. if not. for Yourself" said
Constance to Mrs. Fry when she
opened the door.
'I.or', now. how thoughtful you al
ways be! But Edes is better'n and
gone TO work. He's ben real sick,
though not SO sick but he'd gone on

II think you had better come, too,
and then you will be sure that I've

Constance, though not without hesi:a-
tation. arose and followed her to the
apartment occupied by Primus Edes.
A small, sparsely furnished room
met her gaze. but it was neatly kept,
and Mrs. Fry surveyed it with some
pride.

walked on in deep thought, but could
not help being aware that several per
sons stared at me with the same
startled look, and there was singu.

me feel as if were a ghost walking

QUESTION THAT JARRED HIM

With his ticket to Atlanta tucked
away in his inside pocket, the man
from the South in New York for Il
brief stay, felt that he could afford to
be critical.
'I'll be glad to get back to Atlanta,
he said. "for several reasons in gen
eral and one in particular. For the
next six months l expect to hear no
man say, How long will it takc?' Up
here that is the universal query. Just
keep your ears open and you will hear
it fifty times a day. If man stops
to have his shoes shined he invariably
prefaces the job by asking the boy
how long it will take. In barber shops
many customers even go so far as to
eliminate the usual morning greeting.
They simply say, How long will it
take?' and when they leave their part

that she could never bear to see any
one humbled or hurt. She therefore
took occasion to reprove Clare going
home.
'You should never be naughty, par
ticularly to one not so we'll placed as
yourself my dear. The man meant
no harm, | am quite sure. No doubt
he loves children and your hair looked
pretty to him.
"He may look at it then, but don't
care to have a common person like

quite unmollified, and drawing herself
up in a dignified fashion.

ingly, did he resemble your papa in
any way, do you think?'
mo, should say not" said Clare;
my father was very handsome
man."
The strange man she saw in church
fingered in her thoughts during the
week, and was no doubt pinned there
by a strange circumstance that came
to her notice on Tuesday evening. AS
she drew the curtains at nightfall be-
fore lighting the lamps she saw man
standing directly under tall tree that
stood in the yard, which was fence
less, and about rod from the win
dow. He appeared to be looking di-
rectly in, but as soon as the curtains
were drawn he shrank back, slowly
turned away, and walked down the
street This Mrs. Hamilton saw by
holding the drapery little one side
and peering out. She was convinced
that the man was no other than the
one she remarked at church. A slight
qualm of fear came over her mo-
ment; he seemed to be such humble
and pathetic figure as he timidly
touched little Clares hair. that she
could not fear him. And again dawned
before her intelligence the sure II
slight resemblance he bore to her huG-
band.
Sunday he was at church again. and
as for one moment their eyes met,
Constance fancied new intelligence
in his, as if he would establish con.
nection between them. She immedi.
ately decided that henceforth the cur.
tains of her stting-coon should be
drawn as usual

Earl Cadogan Is Known as
Best Landlord in LondOr,

Is 1t worth $25O,OOO to be known
as the best landlord in London?
Lord Cadogan's right to that desig-
nation is not likely to be questioned
after this, but most people will agree
that the above named sum is big
one to have paid for it,
AS matter of fact. his lordship-
who recently was Lord Lieutenant of
'reland-has always been known as
one OF the squares" as well as one
OF the richest London landowners.
He is one of the four or five men,
including the Dukes of Bedford and
Westminster, who own most of Lon
don, his particular domain being the
historic district of Chelsea, and ever
since the estate passed into his hands
he has made point of favoring his
tenants as perhaps no other proprie-
tor has done
That he has deprived himself of
$25O,0Co rather than embarrass them
was not known until short time
ago, however. when it was diyulged
in speech on the proposed taxation

NJ. r., addressed to the ratepayers in

PAPA WAS NOT IMPRESSED.
Shipwreck Of Attempt to Introduce
Beautiful Ideas into Daily Life.

Beautiful lucas INTO Oaiiy Iue'
Rosalie May had poetic ideas and
was always trying to introduce them
into her daily life, to the amusement
and sometimes disgust of her family.
She kept right on, however, in her
work of following up the beautiful.
One lovely June morning when the
family were enjoying their last bits of
sleep Rosalie May arose and slipped
out into the garden. She knocked over
something in the hall on her way and
heard her father grunt out his favOrite
ejaculation as she passed his rol m,
but she kept on.
She gathered quantities of sv eet
peas. all with the dew on. Returning
to the house she filled a glass bowl
with them and placed it in the center
of the table. Others she scattered all
over the table in careless profusion. as
she had read in that woman's Journal
of sweetness and light by which she
guided her life.
Then she tied up the napkins with
pink ribbons, thrusting spray of
sweet peas in each, and surveyed her
work with pride.
Papa came down little late that
morning The family were waiting for
him and he was cross, having lost two
collar buttons and cut himself willie
shaving.
He gave one look at the now willing
flowers and at the pink bow on MS
napkin. His comment was short but
sufficient.
Whats all this nonsense?" he
SnOrted.
Rosalie May never decorated the
table again.
