cidental discharge of a rifle in the
hands of his older brother, John.
John is prostrated with grief over the
tragedy. He was sitting in one room
engaged in cleaning a rifle. while
Earl was sitting in a chair smoking
in another room. A charge was left
in the gun, and while handling it in
the course of cleaning, it in some
manner was exploded. The ball
passed through the partition and en-
tered the temple of the younger
brother killing him instantly.
The circumstances attendant upon
the death OF Earl Stone are very pc
culiar When struck he uttered no
sound and it was not discovered that
he was dead until one of the family
happened to go into the room several
minutes later. He was sitting upright
in his chair and had not moved an
inch from his former position.

peculiar sensations when one morn
inc the gas collector, new employe
of the company, presented himself at
her own door, claiming the payment
of a bill of three-months' standing. 1t
wasn't nice of the gas collector to DO
this but he seemed to want his money
such is the way of gas collectors.
Now, il there was any one thing upon
which Mr.. Franklin prided himself 1t
was his promptness in liquidating his

So it happened that this good mer-
chants wife was not a little surprised
and somewhat piqued to have the gas
collector thrust a bill in her face and
rndaIv demand settlement. She
was too amazed at first to reply. She
had not the same suayity of speech
as her next.door neighbor had. and be-
ing taken so unaware, her stammer-
ing excuses at first presented de-
cidedly guilty appearance.
Il don't care to discuss the affair,
madam; you have had your notice,
and. if you will remember this thing
has been running three months; and
YOU have not admitted the man to
turn off the meter So the august
official spoke in the first few seconds
of his call. When his astonished vic
tim at last gathered her wits togeth-
er with breath enough to speak, she
protested that as long as she had
lived in the city her bill had been paid
each month in time for discount priyi-
leges. And then, IN order TO allay
his overbearing insolence, she insisted
upon producing the receipts, which,
as soon as she had succeeded in con-
yincing him that her name was not
Upton. reduced him to a state of abb
iect apology. A light had broken
upon the harassed little woman, and
when she was meekly asked where the
Uptons lived. either in defense of her
friend. or as a matter of triumph to
her prosecutor. her injured dignity
drew itself up to a whitening height
with the reply. as she supposed in do
fiance of the ninth commandment, that

FLAT JEWELLERS
The Friendship Of Two
Very Different Families

The Uptons lived on one side OF
the hail. the Franklins on the other.
They were genial neighbours that is,
the Uptons were. They seemed TO
possess to an unusual degree that
indefinable quality known as the art
OF making friends. Mr.. Upton, espe-
cially, had such a bland way Of speak
ing to anyone in general, and the land
lord In particular To the other ten
ants it even appeared like somewhat
Of an outrage that the Uptons were
assessed any rent at all. Because,
according to the natural order OF
things, such.a family should have been
paid liberal royalty for even con-
descending to live in anything which
was at all short of being mansion.
Thus the Uptons lived-in peace
with themselves and with all the
world beside They dined well and
INDUCED in expensive amusement
but OF course Mr.. Upton was very
success -ful business man;
The odd circumstance with regard
10 these people was that they took
for their most intimate contidants the
Franklins across the hall. who had
no interests in common with their
own. To be sure, the Franklins We're
good people, but it seemed that the
uptons were the only neighbors who
appreciated this fact
A rather unfortunate matter was al
ways presenting itself whenever Mrs.
Franklin happened to be visiting in
the apartment of her friend-not that
she cared on her own account. but
simply that the situation would be an
embarrassing one to her hostess.
Having been sympathetic. however,
evidently she never took any notice
AS was compatible with good breed
ing-or, maybe she did and didn't
mind--"still water runs deep" we are
told
This is what was continually hap
pening: The two housewives would
be cozily chatting, when Mrs. Upton
would answer the door to a collector
for the grocer, the laundryman. the
milkman, or possibly the dressmaker
or the dentist. 1t meant only one OF
those occurrences which are likely TO
happen in any well-regulated house
hold. but which seem so suspicious to
a wide-awake observer. Mrs. Upton,
though. was ever ready to handle
them with that ineffable grace for
which she was renowned She SIM
ply would tell the intruder that he
might call at her husbands Office, Civ
ing the number or perhaps she would
trouble" him to call next Tuesday
as she was entirely out Of change.
And the heart Of the collector that
would not melt before the winning
smile of such a woman and in the
face Of such convincing assurances
would be an icicle indeed.
Not TO enter into the psychological
workings Of Mrs. Franklin's mind dur
ing these dialogues is a temptation.
Certain IL is that. if she regarded az.
fairs as being crooked" she still
found enough of congenial qualities
IN the UptOns TO warrant the con-
finuance of their friendship. and. il
she did not suspect. her generous tact
enabled her to ignore the situation
entirely Bat. whatever her feelings
regarding these neighbOrs might have
been, she certainly experienced some
