MR.. AND MRS. DEAN.
The Surprise They Gave a Roomful of
Blackguards.


Blacksuards.
In the early part of the nineteenth
century Vauxhall was the resort of
many respectable persons, especially
of those who came up from the coun-
try to see London sights. During one
season it was infested by a band of
roughs. who made it their occupation to
insult and modest the most quiet, de
cent people, especially any whom they
guessed to be country visitors They
became such nuisance that several
men about town, among whom were
Lord Alvanley and Keppel Craven.
laid plot to get rid of them.
They hired Mendoza. the famous
prize fighter, and dressed him up as a
dean, with a shovel hat and apron.
Another prize fighter, a short man.
was dressed as a middle aged lady
and passed as the deans wife, and one
evening they were seated at Vauxhall
in conspicuous position to watch the
fireworks. 1t was not long before the
old fashioned, countrified pair attract
ed the attention of the gang, who as
sailed them with every kind of coarse
raillery and insult all of which they
bore very meekly.
At length one of the prosecutors,
growing holder by impunity, stepped
up to the dean and squirted an orange
into his eye. On this the dean, rising.
said in a meek, quiet tone, Really.
gentlemen, have borne a great deal.
but l must put stop to this" With
that his hat went one way and his
coat another and, followed by his
wife," he sprang into the middle of
the party, hitting out in all directions.
Filled with establishment and terror,
some fed and some tried to show
fight, but the handling they got from
the prize fighters was too severe for
the fracas to last long.
All the time Lord Alvanley and his
friends, who were in the boxes, were
calling out in delight: $50 1t, Mr..
Dean! Give it 'em, Mrs. Dean! An
effectual stop was thus put to the an
noyance.-London Spectator.

know how we live on the road"
"You can live well anywhere fol
what we get" contended Beatrice.
Mrs. Purroy laughed again.
"You can live good on what you
think you're going to get. But when
they take out fines and shoes and
stockings and gloves and things like
that it's a different story. Say, Kid,
If you've got a fellow that isn't on the
stage forget how nice it's going to
feel to be second Bernhard and get
busy with wedding ring"
Mrs. Purroy quieted down soon. but
Beatrice lay awake thinking of her
words.
This was all very different from
what she had anticipated. Her par
ents were not rich, but she was used
to living well, and the whole reality
was very different from her anticipa-
ton. 1t seemed that she had only
fallen asleep when a pillow banged
against her head and a voice announc-
ed that unless she wanted to miss
breakfast she had better get up and
dress.
The dressing rooms at either end Of
the car were filed by the early birds,
and there was a long wait before
Beatrice could get to the washstand,
and then her toilet was accomplished
under difficulties because of the
laughing, pushing mob of girls that
filled the place to overlooking.
She was sick and tired when the
train pulled into Washington. and the
girls were hustled across the street for
a hurried breakfast The breakfast
was distinctly bad, and as Beatrice
went back to the train shed, where
the car had been attached to a way
train, she was bitterly homesick
Her heart stood still as she saw
standing by the ratings a man whose
figure suggested Ben Streator, but
when he turned and Beatrice saw that
it really was Ben she gave a glad cry
and ran toward him.
What are you doing here?" she
cried.
II came after you," he explained.
II met Mr.. Ratsey a couple of days
ago, and it was he who suggested that

"Home?" echoed Beatrice. ben,

Ratsey, who stood by the gate regard
ing them with "bless you, my chill
dren," air. 'He was right. One night

Adventures of a Stained Glass windo,

Adventures of Stained Glass Window
The east window at st. Margarets.
Westminster, wandered about for more
than 200 years before reaching its pres
ent position and was the subject of
seven years lawsuit. Henry VII, for
whom it was intended, died before the
window arrived from Dordrecht, and it
came into the possession first of the
abbot of Waltham and then of General
Monk. Stained glass was anathema In
Puritan days, so the window was
buried until the restoration, when it
was brought to light Refused by
Wadham college, it was bought for
90 guineas and erected in a private
house and years later was bought for
400 guineas by the committee charged
with the restoration of ST Margaret's
and placed in position in the church.
The lawsuit to which we have referred
was brought by the registrar to the
dean and chapter on the ground that
the window contained superstitious i'm
ages, but after seven years legal wran-
Cling the church wardens proved vic
torious, and the beautiful window was
suffered to remain undisturbed.-Lon

the ferret eyed little stage manager
had announced that none of the chorus
girls might be accompanied to the
train by friends or relatives under
penalty of five dollar fine. He was
nervously pacing the cobblestones in

make certain that the rule would not
be broken.
On the block above the ferry house
leave takings were plentiful, but the
house itself was free of a crowd of
weeping relatives and mournful gen
