 In perfect silence the Shannons ra. tired to the forlorn kitchen to finish the dishes. John gathered up the fragments of the chop plate. three cups, four plates and some other pieces, and consigned them to the garbage barrel, while his wife lit the -'-- .'-
 gas and heated some more dishwater. Alter several attempts to start a con versation, which were received with rigid silence, John went to bed, and at midnight his tired wife followed him, to cry herself to sleep. No sil- yer lining was in sight to her dense cloud, for that day she had heard her successor was worse. She remembered her promise to MT. Cramer the first day she went to the office to "see him through his troubles" and her fears flowed faster than ever.
 As the days dragged past, Mrs. shannon could hardly think life worth living. She hated the office, with it's routine work; she constantly thought Of the confusion at home, and the clearinghouse she had once enjoyed filled her soul with anguish, with it's gossip and nonsense. She no longer went with John to church Sundays, but devoted her time to putting the house to rights, while her husband loafed downtown. No more walks and drives and evenings together, for the dishes must be washed and break fast prepared, and the dozens of little things attended to during her spare minutes.
 Did you ever notice signs of in sanity in me, John?" inquired Mrs. shannon one morning as they ate breakfast in the kitchen from table which boasted no cloth
 No, dear" said John, with a sur prised look, though one glance at her tense face told him what was coming. T believe you mentioned once that housekeepers were more apt to go crazy than"

a few days to do some special work for me, and if you would like to be re- leased, can spare you," said the old gentleman, kindly. "Of course if you'd rather stay, I'll be glad to have you, but"
 'I guess I'll go on home" said Mol lie, with her hat already on her head. I've got few things to- attend to there"
 "All right, but whenever you want to make little pin-money let me know. These independent young wom- en find 1t hard to ask their husbands for every cent, and often have extra work on hand"
 Mrs. shannon was halfway down the hall before this sentence was fin- ished, and did not hear the laugh that followed her hasty exit. Half an hour later MT. Shannon smiled to receive two notes at the same time. One was from MT. Cramer, and contained only these words, Your scheme was suc- cessful," and the other was from Mol lie. MT. Cramer doesn't need me any longer, so we can begin to live once more. Dear, I will be good forever more. Your repentant Mollie."

long as 1 live. I know I made your life a burden to you by always re- minding you of the money I used to earn, but surely have been punished enough"
 It was not necessary for John to try to conceal the broad smile on his face, for his penitent wife was in his arms long before her forlorn little speech was ended. and he was kiss. ing the top of her head After a few minutes spent in retirement, Mollie lifted her head and wiped away her tears. vehemently, as she said, in dis gust, Look at that table! Our home Is ruined almost. and what is the re- suit? I've earned the magnificent sum of $50 and had endless trouble. I've missed church, Sunday school, a re- ception, two picnics and all the pleas ant times we used to enjoy, for the sake of little money! Dear, can you ever forgive me?"
 'I'll try to- said John, with his old, gay manner that had entirely van ished during the past few weeks. I'm glad you will never want to go away from home again. Perhaps MT. Ora mer's stenographer will soon come back"
 'T hope so," said Mollie. fervently. q promised to stay as long as he needs me, and I'll keep my word if 1t kills me-"
 While Mrs. shannon hastily cleared away a few of the breakfast things before walking downtown with her husband, that crafty man had mys- terious business with 8 small boy at the front door, and silver dollar changed hands. The young couple parted in better moods than they had been for many day. and Mrs. Shan non turned on the steps leading up to her employers office to wave her handkerchief as in the old days. The salute was returned, and she actually smiled as she entered the hated room. Mir Cramer crumpled up note in his hand at sight of her, and said. Good morning. Mollie. You seem in good humor this fine morning"

Birmingham 4: Little Rock |:

Birmingham, Ala July 25.- Little Rock got six hits today Birmingham got seven. The Colts scattered theirs around through five innings. The Barons punched four of theirs, including double and a triple in one in hing. Res sul Birmingham romped away with the game by score of 4 to1.
 "Rube" Keith was knocked off his pedestal by the Barons today. The idol of the Little Rock fans was the whole show for six in- nings. He allowed the Barons but two hits and seemed to have them completely in his power. The Colts had managed to score one run from their six hits and it really looked as though the spell might be broken.

$50 FOR CONTEMPT
James DeLucia Got Saucy 10
 Judge Burpee To-Day.

James, DeLucia lost his temper in the city court to-day and the out break cost him $50 for contempt of court. DeLucia was the fellow who through a technicality was dis charged from the superior court the other day. He was charged with a third offense of theft, but there was a loophole in the complaint and the case was nolled Tuning with con- tempt for the police he went to the police station yesterday to- inform the department that he was going to have every man Jack of them sued for false Imprisonment. The police had been looking for the fellow and he walked right into their clutches. He pleaded not guilty to theft this morning of a barrel of junk from the premises of Jacob Rosenbaum on Ward street., April IS. Several Hof Rosenbaum's employees identified him as the man they saw hanging around the place few days before the theft, and the barrel of stuff found in his place they identified as theirs.
 Detective Dodds gave the mans record showing him to have been found guilty seven times of theft, carrying concealed weapons and so on.
 Judge Burpee imposed fine of $60 and committed him to jail for four months.
 T take an appeal from that" De- Lucia shouted angrily. z
 "All right" said the court; bond of $1,000."
 T don't care d." snarled the fellow. You can make 1t S2,000 if you like"
 'Very well, then," rejoined the court, ''the bond is $2,000, and you are fined $50 for contempt of court. From that there is no appeal Do you hear?"
 Evidently DeLucia heard, though he did not say word.

 Acts of vandalism are becoming common in Chase park and if they continue the authorities will have to take steps to find out the guilty part les. This could be done only by put ting a watchman there during the night time. This week some of the signs were torn down and people who live in the neighborhood say they have reason to believe that all the deviltry takes place late nights. They also think that if the park is to be made of much use to the pub lie few more seats ought to be SUD- piled and better light would be a great help too. In this connection 1t might not be amiss to state that the question is often asked why there are no seats in Union Square park. Probably Superintendent Walker could throw some light on that mat ter and if not 1t would be quite prop CT to put it up to the department of public works.

 MT Lord: "Yes, 1t is high time 5 did something. When can you bet with me to talk it oyer?"
 MT Wells: Any time at all.
 MT Lord: How would next Sat day suit you?"
 MT Wells: All right"
 Not another word was said on the bject, but judging by the way hat passed was said the committee tends to have another talk with blonel Burpee and if they don't ke what he has to say on the ques- bn 1t is quite likely that the courts III be asked for ruling on the htter. Commissioners Wells and brd were appointed to look into ] is muddle over year ago, but for me reason or other they never did hything.
 The board had long chat on the recommendation of the board of hblic works regarding the salary Superintendent Walker of the hblic parks.
