ment. And later in the afternoon
when he saw Ida Graves and his best
friend, Hugo Holland, making their
way toward the wharf the expression
Of Roe's face was still that Of great
satisfaction.
Hugo pulled a fine stroke, and they
swung into the little cove In q short
time. The twilight shadows fell about
them and conversation had Jagged.
Letting the boat drift slowly where
the tide chose to take 1t, Hugo leaned
forward and gazed into his compan-
ions face.
Lets play court" suggested Hol-
land.
"All right" agreed Ida. "Pll be
the Judge"
mot at all," demonstrated Hugo,
you've had no experience In that line
"Well, all right. But what are you
going to be?" asked Ida, somewhat
bewildered.
oh" said Holland, with great au-
thority, "Tll be all the rest. I'm the
Judge, the Jury and the lawyer for
both sides. Now, you're on the stand
and under oath, remember"
Promise you won't ask me how old
l am nor what l do for a living,
laughed Ida.
"I am now talking to the Judge" he
began, and. turning to an imaginary
figure, he continued: You see the ac-
cused, Hugo Lawrence Holland, is des
perately In love with the plaintiff, Ida
Graves"
"Oh, Mr. Holland" interrupted Ida,
II really do not think"-
"Order In the court" roared Hol-
land. Then, looking directly at Ida,
he said, "Will you listen to this suit
Of Holland for your heart and handY'
Ida laughed. The situation was ir.
resistble.
1T seems that I must-whether
will or not"
"The one bad feature of the case is
the existence of a two legged beast, y
continued Holland-"one Russell Roe
Looking directly at the Witness be
said. do you love this monstrosityT
Certainly not" asserted Ida.
The entire court seemed greatly re-
lieved.
"On your oath" added Holland.
ION my OATH" repeated Ida.
"And-and"- The counsel seemed
to hesitate He had lost his grip In
some manner. Finally, after much
hating, he asked:
"And this man, this one Hugo Hol'
land, do you care for him-just the
least little bit?"
Ida looked at him for q moment
and then, with a merry twinkle in hel
big eyes. she said, "Please let me be
the judge-just for minute"
"All right" said Holland as he
gripped an oar for support.
"Ahem," began Ida with judiciary
manner. IT think this case should be
settled out Of court. It seems TO mt
that the plaintiff and the defendant
can make satisfactory arrangements
without the aid Of outside parties"
Hugo now gripped both oars and
rou,ad no 70 ha had antprpd n varsity
race with his life at stake. They were
on shore in the twinkling Of an eye
and the testimony given there was
even more direct, for Ida was 1r
Hugos arms and her face was very
close to his.

Where They Forgot.

"Once, in the rooms of the Fabian
society, overlooking the fresh green
slopes of the Law Court gardens in
London, 1 heard George Bernard Shaw
express his thoughts about English
public schools" said a Chicago editor.
"He attacked these schools. He said
you learned nothing in them. He told
of q young peer to whom a certain
master at Eton said:
az am ashamed Of you, unable to
work out so simple a problem! Your
younger brother did 1t correctly an
hour ago.
az am sorry, sir the boy replied.
but you must remember that my
brother hasn't been at Elton as long as

Anxious For More.

An expert golfer had the misfortune
to play q particularly vigorous stroke
at the moment that a seedy wayfarer
skulked across the edge Of the course.
The ball struck the trespasser and
rendered him briefly insensible. When
he recovered a five dollar bill was
pressed into his hand by the grateful
golfer. "Tbanky, sir" said the injured
man after a kindling glance at the
money, "an' when will you be playin'

SENSIBLE HOBBY.
Well known People Devote Spare
Time to Upbuidine Health.

Physical culture is getting to ue
more and more of a hobby with many
people, who devote their spare time not
only to upbuilding their own physical
health. but in preaching doctrine of
good health to others.
There is no excuse today for any
person, unless tainted with an incura-
BILE disease, remaining sickly, with the
great advance in medical discoveries
and the growing popularity of physical
culture.
In the diseases of digestion and nutri-
ton, for example, an acknowledged
specific treatment has been found in
Mi-o-na. 1t is relied upon as q GER
tainty in relieving the worst troubles
of digestion and assimilation, and
making a complete cure.
People suffering with headaches,
palpitation, sleeplessness, bad taste in
the mouth, coated tongue, distress
after eating, specks before the eyes
nervousness and general debility, and
any other of the many distressing re-
suits of a weakened stomach, should
profit by the discovery of Mi-o-na
stomach tablets.
Bowditch, Webster e Co. have seen
so many cures by Mi-o-na of stomach
and general rundown state of health
that they are firm believers in the
power Of this remedy to cure practi-
cally every case, and they show this
faith by giving guarantee with every
5O-cent box of Mi-o-na to refund the
money unless it does all that is claimed
for it. They take the whole risk. and
Mi-o-na will not cost you penny I'M
less it cures.

was perfectly calm, the steamship was
suddenly lifted thirty feet on the top
of great wave and then as suddenly
plunged into the trough of the sea.

OF large size, were seen floating all
about the ship. After that the sea
again became quiet and there was no
rough water during the remainder Of
