's" "WO hundred dollars. pleasa

WO hundred dollars, please"
 x: The New York drawing room
 : was crowded with fashion able throng on the eve of departure The hostess, standing near the door way, addressed her remark to quiet, innocent looking lady who was about to pass through and who now viewed her with astonishment.
 "Two hundred dollars!' she exclaim. ed. What for?"
 "That is your loss at bridge for the evening"" said the hostess.
 But" exclaimed her guest, II had no idea that we were playing for mon ey. Why, wouldn't do such thing What can you meanT
 "You don't suppose for one instant" said the hostess haughtily, 'that we were playing for our health, do you? It is the usual thing.'' "But I haven't got the money with me-"
 '.Then you can send me a check-at once."
 The guest. her sense of justice fully aroused by the imposition practiced upon her, drew herself up proudly.
 q am, as you know, not long Q resi- dent here" she observed. "It seems to me nothing short of robbery. Suppose I refuse to pay this money?"
 The hostess shrugged her shoulders meaningly.
 "If you do," she replied, with fine, cutting contempt, "there Is no hope for you. From this time forward you will cease to be an honored and respected member of our sacred circle" Tom Mason in Judge.

That drunk orter have lasted me the best part of three days, but the bars cured me of it in about forty minits. Seein' the old woman would do nothin', my line was to play dead and hope the varmints would git tired and go away. They got tired of the play. but they wasn't through with m" then. They began to growl and show sign of madness, and I called out to the old woman:
 "'Mary, can't you see that they all are dun gittln' madT
 "I kin,' she said, speakin' fur the first time and speakin' mighty keer- lessly at that. 3'
 "They all will begin to bite and claw in airnest now.'
 "They will fur shore

 "'But yo' wouldn't see yo own hus band perish befo' you eyes, I take itY
 "'Pll think 1t over. If yo' are gwine to live on, yo' got to keep sober arter this. It will be well fer yo' to have some scars to pint to. Arter yo' have been half killed mebbe I'll do sun- thin. but 1t does seem pizen mean to drive the bars away when they're hay in' so much fun
 "Jest then the old he bar took long look into my face and then uttered growl that made chills shake me all over. He knowed me, and I knowed him. He was a bar had hunted fer three years, and he had three of my bullets in his body at that very min nit. Yes, suh. that critter knowed me fer Feb White, the man who never yit had mercy on bar, and he seen that his time had come to git even. He hauled off and gin me swat that al- most stove in my ribs and then bit me twice. His mate pitched in, and fur the next two minnits I was mauled about between 'em like "a rag doll. It was no use of my tryin' to make fight fur 1t. They was all over me all the time, and even if had knife 1t wouldn't have helped me out.
 "What sent the pesky critters off at last was the old woman shootin' down the he bar, but was left in power full sad state. I had skeercely stitch of clothes left on me, and was one mass of bites and claw marks. had to be dragged into the house and boost ed into bed. and I didn't tech toe to the floor fer three weeks to come. hadn't any bones broke, but the claw marks and bites of bar don't heal fur long time. Durin' all the time l was in bed and sufferin' the old wom- an kept whisky under my nose. had the scent of it until positively hated 1t and begged her to, take it away. The hull thing taken together worked cure so thorough that, though run a moonshine still fur three years, l never tasted a drop of the stuff.'
 "Did Mrs. White have anything to say to you after you got betterY I asked.
 "Neyer word," he answered. "What was the use? If all that bar play wouldn't stop a man from makin' a fool of himself ag'in, then words would be thrown away. No, suh, she never done said word, and that's why reckon she's jest the incest and best wife in this yere state of Tennes- sec" NJ. QUAD.
