to see that that note-by the way, how
was it delivered to you2"
II found it on my dressing table
when l came back from New York
Monday evening. What are you driv-
ing at, Godfrey? If you've discovered
anything, for Gods sake, tell me
straight outv'
"I've discovered an unusually large
consignment Of humble pie awaiting
your consumption. You don't deserve

sudden flushing Of the cheeks. "And
she deserved them. She got me out of
the house and spent the evening with
Tremaine. 1t was an indirect way Of
telling me that she was tired Of me-.
I'd suspected it before"
Godfrey looked at him pityingly.
Really, Jack" he said, I'm half
inclined to think the coroner's right
In his theory, after ALL"
what is his theoryY'
"He thinks you're crazy"
Drysdale laughed little, mirthless
laugh.
Perhaps he's right" he said.
You'll be sure Of it in q few min
utes. It's inconceivable that any man
in his right mind should suspect girl
like Miss Croydon of such thing"
Drysdale turned to him with eyes
bright with emotion.
"See here, JIM" he said, you've had
your fun; you've tormented me long
enough. Do you mean that Miss Croy-
don didn't write the note7'
II mean just that"
"Then who did,"

mot thing. She was waiting for
you in the house. She thought you'd
deliberately broken an appointment
you'd made with her"
Drysdale ground his teeth together
and struck himself savage blow in
the chest.

fool! What perfect, muckle headed

II shouldn't If were in her place."
Godfrey assured him. "I'd think my
self well rid of you. I shouldn't want
to marry an idiot"
Drysdale cursed dismally to himself

accounting for the whims of women
there's no telling what they'll do. May

ONE LAST QUESTION.

"Mrs. Woodbe," says the caller, Il
am chairman of the committee on ap-
plications for membership to our club,
and l have called to see you relative
to your desire to become member"
81 am glad to see you," smiles Mrs.
Woodbe.
II hardly know how to say what I
must say, but, Mrs. Woodbe, we have
1t on good authority that for consid-
cradle time you were demonstration
for some kind of a complexion beauti-
fer, and that even now there are in
existence testimonials signed by you,
claiming that you owe your clear skin
and pink cheeks to the use of this To-
ton"
Signing deeply, Mrs. Woodbe ac-
knowledges that the charges are true
Then you can readily see," pursues
the caller, that it would be impossible
for us to take you into our society,
which includes in it's membership the
most refined and intellectual portion
Of the community
Mrs. Woodbe mutely signalizes her
understanding of the verdict, and the
caller prepares to take her departure.
At the door, however, she turns and
asks:
Would it be presumptuous in me If
We're to ask you to tell me the name
of the complexion beautifier you
used?'-Puck.

MEXICAN MULES.
For Individuality They Beat All 9th
ers Hybrids.

"It is tritc TO say that mules are
| brainy, but the mules OF old Mexico.
| believe, have something on all null
rs The world over for individuality Of
character and, if I may be credited,
! a sort of prescience of their own,'
said man who had spent many years
in the ncighboring republic
"a Mexican mule will do Just so
much work and no more. They re
used for all sorts Of purposes down
there. We vastly prefer them to
horses for riding over the mountains
on account of their superiority in
ihr matter Of surcfootadncSs. their
instinct for the correct path without
being guided, and their undertaking
endurance. This Mexican mule has
twice as much Of what you might call
gctthercncss as the horse. He III stick
at his amble without break until he
has done what he knows to be his
days stunt, and that stunt is invari-
ably big one.
But you can't get Mexican
mule to do anything more than what
he knows to be his days work. Such
Il thing would be impossible. The
riding mule is fully aware of the dis
tance, down to the rod, he is suppos-
ed and required to traverse in the
progress Of one days travelling day,
and all the sharp sticks or goads or
dynamite on earth won't get him to
do bit more than what he knows to
be the correct distance,
"The Mexicans have got a pecul-
lar saying III connection with this
stnbbornhess Of the Mexican mule
, when he is asked to do more in day
than he knows to be right. You ask
a Mexican for instance, how far it is,
| by mule back, to such and such a
point.

not rushed, but three days if you are
in a hurry the Mexican will reply.
"Hc means that if You don't ask
any more of your mule than you
should ask of him the mule will be
able to make the trip you have in
mind within the two days. But if in
a hurry and not acquainted with the
ways Of Mexican mules you attempt
to drive the animal he'll soldier on
you, will that mule, and delay and
hold you at every stage Of the game
once he finds you are trying to make
him do more than the contract and
the tradition calls for, and in conse-
quence the journey will take YOU
three days.

pushing Mexican mule forward once
he makes up his mind that he's done
his bit for the day-and it should be
said Of him that he never makes up
his mind until he has performed the
whole task. lie doesn't want any ia

You reach a camp, or if you re out in

as he's going. No Mexican will
