to an inn for shelter ana refrcshment.

his feats of memory to the yokels in
the inn parlor and one and all were
thunderstruck except the waiter. There
is always one skeptic in every com
munion, whether Of saints or sinners.

gate the acId smile of acid incredulity
of that glorified potman, In the midst
of one of his most difficult fcats the
whistle sounded of the only train to
London tonight"' and he rushed off to
catch it. He caught it at the station,
and his reputation caught it in the inn
parlor, for the waiter, coming in with
some ordered refreshments and find
ing him gone, pointed to the corner
where he had been sitting and eXclaim-
ed, "Silly 'umbug, he's forgot his UNI
brella"'-Young Man.
