HIS LETTER TO HER.
 New Haven Cnnn Ian

f1lS IO 1EH New Haven, Conn, Jan. 15. My Dear Madge: Here are the snapshots I promised you. I devel- oped them the day got back. hope you are all right. enjoyed my holi. day at Christmas very much, thanks to your keeping things lively all the time. The only part didn't like was being chaffed about Mollie's engage ment. Of course I laughed and tried to take no notice, but did mind. Especially mothers saying that she thought was so devoted to Mollie, and wondered took it so calmly. So was, and so am now, and I'd give anything to see that fellow out of the way.
 The other day was reading one of her letters through, and I must say I blame her a little. Anyone would say if they read them that she not only encouraged me, but led me dis tinctly to understand that she cared about me. am sure all her people thought so too, for I was the first to be told of her engagement.
 Although care so awfully for that girl, think she has treated me rather badly. Sid always said she was flirt, but I didn't think so. However, it's all over now Once hit, twice shy" is my motto, and I shall never give myself the chance of loving another girl. I don't know why am telling all this, but I know you were an ad- mirer of Mollie's too, and then you're so jolly sympathetic, and always seem to understand fellow.
 Sid told me that last year, before went to Bar Harbor, he and Mol1ie used to have long talks on the beach, but she always led the conversation round to me, and seemed very keen on my going down there.
 I shall almost hate to meet her if we go down there this summer. You're coming though, aren't you? Uncle Fred said something about talk ing the cottage next ours.
 I'd better shut up now. The one thing I ask you, Madgie, is please, please don't say anything about this to anybody. Sid is the only one who knows. Believe me, your affectionate cousin,
 BILL TREVOR.

Of COOh hSE IT ALI HlGdI. I don't know how to start. The fact is. I've come to the conclu- sion that there is only one girl in the world that want to go about with always, and not to beat about the bush, that's you, dear. You must think me a fool. especially after what told you sometime ago, but I can't help it, and 1t seems to me now as if it could only have been you all along, after all.
 Is 1t awfully conceited of me to think that you do care little for me in return? I must know at once. Is 1t all right? Yours ever,

Dentist Not Owner of Tooth.

At Gers. in central Germany, a gen. tieman who had been suffering from toothache made up his mind to have . tooth out. The stump proved a difi- cult one to draw. and when it was taken out was of such curious shape that the dentist declared that he would keep 1t as a curi- osity. His patient thought he would like to keep 1t himself. and claimed it; but the dentist. on the ground that a tooth, when drawn with the free consent of patient. Is owner less property as soon as It leaves the jaw. refused to give 1t up. The patient entered an action against the dentist vho has had to deliver up the molar.

men than you do, and really l only meant 1t for the best when I advised you to give young Grantham plenty of room. As for going to tea with fellows and that, I shouldn't have thought that Mollie's was an example you'd want to follow after what has happened. I don't want to be mean about her, but I'd thought you were rather different sort of girl.
 As 1t happens I've got to come to town on Saturday morning to see about some new tools. Couldn't you give up an afternoon to me, instead of to Grantham? Let's go and do a matinee together. Daly's, or anything you like, as per old times. Do, Madgie, to show me that you have forgiven me for the bit of straight advice in my last letter
