responded TO the door bell
I'D like TO see HIM" the man replied.
See here. Bob. you're wanted" called
the woman.
There was pause. broken by the pat
dering OF the paws OF little bull ter
rier as he scampered into the hall.
The stranger at the door little needed
the approach OF the dog, until the WON

told him that Robert Badgero, a watch
man, lived there and down II vert
Yes. n good many people have mis-
taken Robert for a man becaNe his

Great In His Line.

Mr.. Robert Barr once showed a por-
trait of Mark Twain to a silk merchant
of Lyons. "Tell me who that is" Mr..
Barr said. The merchant gazed at the
portrait and answered, 81 should say
he was a statesman" 'Supposing you
wrong in that, what would be your
next guessT asked Mr.. Barr. "If he
is not a maker of history he is perhaps
a writer of it; a great historian, prob
ably. OF course it is impossible for me
to guess accurately except by accident,
but use the adjective great because
I am convinced this man is great in his
line, whatever it is. If he makes silk,
he makes the best" Mr.. Barr told the
French merchant who the portrait rep
resented and said, you have summed
him up in your last sentence."-London
