played together the livelong day and
got a lot Of pleasure out of lfe-a
great dsal more than human folks.
I picked Murphy up when he looked
like a moth-eaten doormat and didn't
have a friend in the world. but as soon

And the way he went on unbosoming
himself OF his feelings was nothing
short OF impoiite.
Just then GuRplay Connolly came
soughing down the street talking
earnestly 20 himself. I didn't set a

came SO absorbed in her profession
that she forgot all about him and
neglected 10 say anything about
her ineumbrance when she fell in love
with the guileless lad from the East.
The husband showed satisfactory
evidence IN the way OF a marriage
certificate TO prove that Kitty de Belle
was his wife. He had been yearntng
TO see her for about a year. but as
she was travelling under a nom de
plume he spent a good deal OF time rid
ing on the steam cars swearing in
sotto voice and wondering where she
was. Il was bv the merest chance
that he found her at POssum TrOt. AS
a wife. Kitty de Belle no longer ap-
pealed to the husband, and he told
US that his only object in finding her
was to notify her in a legal manner
that he was applying for a divorce.
He took a large chew Of tobacco and
remarked that as soon as he got his
separation papers he would not stand
in the way OF any wandering Imbecile
who wanted to marry Kitty.

press in an Unostentatious manner.
He seemed 10 be in an apprehensive
frame OF mind. Perhaps he thought
his abnormal clothes would be as much
out Of place among the fashionably
attired folks in the parlor car as they
were on him. Perhaps something
seemed to tell him that when he once
more traversed the familiar gravel
walk leading 10 his New Hampshire
home. the old family watch dog would
insist that he was a tramp and nibbie
heartily at his limbs. Horace Alger-
CG Montgomery did not even say
good-by to Kitty de Belle AS he

for her from the leading florist at
Houston. We simply made things
hum, but the sight of the nominee for
matrimonial honors leaning over the
private box and saluting Kitty with a
basket of posies was too much for
Whoop-' 'em-up Fritts. His youthful
enthusiasm completely overcame his
sense Of propriety, and, pulling out
his war dog, he was wont TO relieve
himself by boring large irregular holes
in the floor OF the opera house. These
unexpected gun plays served TO keep
