Over the Wire.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

X Copyright, 1908, by r. c. McClure.I I,
I Job Strong kept a grocery IN the
town OF Medina. and he was an old
bachelor 1t had been said of him a
hundred times over that he was the
homellcst man IN the state.
dob Strong had brother living in
Brunswick. and, as each had tele-
phone, messages often passed between
them. The grocer had good voice. 1t
was deep and rich and clear, and he
was accounted one of the best singers
IN his church choir. One day when he
went TO hello for Brunswick he found
himself answered by new voice. It
was that 0f female, and IL stirred
his heart at once. 1t was pitched to a
gentle cadence. 1t reminded him Of
his own New orleans molasses gently
gurgling from the spigot into II GUS
TONER'S jug. 1t rolled along the wire
like new tire on bike, and he held
on TO II as long as possible. Curlously
enough. that deep, rich voice OF his
awOke an answering echo In the heart
OF the operator at Brunswick. She
thought of knights and cavaliers and
squlres and danes, and it was with &
sigh that she switched him over to the
brother.
Ii may be giving away the plot too
soon, but there Is curious coinci-
delce here to be explained The Bruins.
wick operator was an old maid named
Miss Judklns. She had reached the
nge Of forty and for the last twenty
years had been match for Job Strong
In homeliness "As homely as Miss
Judkins" was a saying for thirty miles
around. They said Of her that she
had once scared COW to death by en-
terlng the barn and that when farm
era drove TO town they double hltched
their horses to the posts ON her ac-
count. And, like Job Strong, she didn't
know that anything was amiss.
After the first call over the wire job
strong had a longing to hear that voice
again. Not many hours had passed be-
fore he found an excuse. This time be

The toys OF the French revolution
period were characteristic Of that ter.
rlble time. There are tops whose
shadows cast the profile portraits Of
Louis XVI and Marie Antoipette.
These are turned IN lockwood aud are
indeed interesting "reminiscences Of
toys with the impress Of history. The
children Of the revolution had their
tiny Phrygian caps and danced the
horrible carmagnoles IN their play.
Little models OF the gulllotine were
made to "work," and the bodies of
pigs with heads Of Louis XVI. were
decapitnted. Models OF the Bastille
were popular. Playing cards with fig
ures OF revolutionary heroes were
made when kings, queens and aristo-
cratic knaves were taboo From "Toys

Wnen WIN your employer reurnY<
I asked the sailor.
He shook his head and declared that
he did not know.
How long did he lire you for2"
For all summer" He pointed to
the sloop, and 1 got it out of him that
he had been hired in New York to
come to the lake and sail It.
I'm the creek up yonder," I said.
pointing toward the Tippecanoe, you
tried to kill me. There was another
man with you. Who was he?"
THAT was my boss" he replied. re-
luctantly, though his English was clear
enough
What is your employers nameg" I
demanded.
"Holhrook. sail his boat, the Stillet-
to, over there" he replied.
"But it was not he who was with
you on the houseboat in the creek. Mr..
Holbrook was not there. Do not lie
to me. Who was the other man that
wanted you to kill Holbrook?"
He appeared mystifed, and Giles
pie, TO whom had told nothing of my
encounter at the boat-maker's, looked
from one to the other OF US with a
puzzled expression on his face.
Cali he knows is that he's hired to
sail boat and, incidentally, stick peo-
pie with his knife" said Gillespie in
disgust. 1--WE can do nothing till Hol-
brook comes backj let's be going"
We finally gathered up the Italians
oars, and, carrying the captured arms.
went to the east shore, where we put
of in Gillespie's rowboat, trailing the
Italians boat astern. The sailor fol-
lowed US to the shore and watched our
departure in silence. We swung round
to the western shore and got my ca
noe, and there again the Italian sullen-
ly watched us.
Hes not so badly marooned," said
Gillespie HE can walk out over
here"
