Manners are divided into two kinds.

One day the pathetic manuscript was
returned, and inclosed with it was a
notice that such and such story had
won the prize. The colonel came home
with the letter in his hand.
But was afraid it might fall" said
Phyllis as she took 1t and went away
to weep over 1t and wonder what
everybody would say.
The colonel stalked into the library
and sat down and wrote the editor a
letter and told him that he was a man
without sentiment, numskull, a Dor
der ruffian and many other things and
wound up with lament that the days
of the duello had passed away. That
relieved him somewhat
Ten days had passed and the little
family were sitting on the veranda one
afternoon when a gentlemanly looking
man of thirty descended from an auto
and introduced himself His card
showed that he was the editor of the
Bounder. Phyllis blushed, and her IA
Their arose to begin an grafton. 1t was
to be a scorcher, but before he had
got out word the caller announced
that he had come down to make an
explanation. He was perfectly at ease,
and his manner was frank.
In the first place, the pathetic story
had exceeded the limit set by over a
thousand words. The circular had
specified American stories, and this
was laid in London. Phyllis had to
acknowledge that she had been care
less and the colonel that he had not
read the circular at all. Then the ed
itor good naturally pointed out the abb
sence of any plot and other things
open to criticism. When he had fin
ished the colonel didn't know whether
to ask him to take glass of wine or
to order him off the premises.
1t was the daughter who settled that
question. however She frankly ac-
knowedged her literary errors. After
that there was a friendly talk on lit
erary matters, and for an hour after
the callers departure the old warrior
sat buried In sort of reverie. When
the daughter at last aroused him he
said:
"Phyl. | made you a promise, you
remember"
did you?" she innocently asked,
though blushing at the same time.
And | guess I've found him. Let
me say that I'm not going to butt in
and tangle things up any more. I'm
not literary, and Pm going to drop
pathos. I'm simply military, and I'm
going to stick to that. Go ahead and
paddle your own canoe after this"
And If the colonel had not been a
wise father his son-in-law might not
be sharing the house with him and
his good wife today, and that son-in
law might not be the editor of the

editor of the Bounder He gave his
war record in full and stated that his
only daughter was writing story to
be submitted in the contest. Thus
far; his word for it, it had proved "A
tremendous literary effort, ~ully equal
to Ouida's best, and he could guar
antee that the last half would be
greater yet. He had cried over it. and
the editor. the editors wife and the
pressmen, compositors and all others
connected with the Office would doubt
less do the same.
BY and by two or three things began
to dawn on Phyllis. She found it diff
fcult to keep up the tears. The story
had gone all right to a certain point
and then stuck She was puzzled as
to the end of it. She. began to doubt
and distrust her talent and finally
ventured to say so to her father.
Not take the prize!' the colonel ex-
claimed. "Why, girl, what has come
over you? First, you are the daugh-
ter of a colonel who served his coun-
try for thirty years; next, you are
good looking and smart; thirdly, your
story is the only one to touch the
editors heart. Egad, IL it doesn't I'll

The Courtship Gate.

We have been shown design for an
upholstered front gate which seems
destined to become very popular. The
footboard is cushioned, and there is a
warm soapstone ON each side, the in
side step being adjustable, so that a
short girl can bring her lips to the
line Of any given mustache without
trouble. If the gate is occupied at
1920 p. M, an iron hand extends from
one gate post, takes the young man by
the left ear, turns him around, and he
is at once started toward home by a
steel foot. The girl can, If she likes,

HIS DAUGHTERS
FIRST STORY.
The Old Colonel Was Positive 1t
Would Win the Prize.
BY DONALD ALLEN.

copyright. 1909. By Associated Literary
Press.
The Bounder Magazine was offering
$500 prize for the best love story,
and when Colonel Sears. retired. hap
pened to see the announcement at the
village reading room he started right
home to tell his daughter Phyllis. On
the way he decided that her story
should be a pathetic one. He so de-
cided because he felt pathetic most of
the time himself over being retired,
over his half pay and over the fact
that the army was going to the dogs
without him.
Phyllis Sears was good looking. and
she was smart. She had written and
torn up two pieces of poetry, she had
written and read numerous school
compositions, and she had written one
essay on the subject of intemperance.
Miss Phyllis fully realized that she
was literary. but she would not have
pursued the line except for the en-
thusiasm and encouragement of her
father She continued to be good look
ing and smart and literary to please
him. The mother dotted on the girl.
but stood neutral in details.
The story was begun next day, and
as fast as page was written it was
submitted to the father. He weighed
every sentence Once the tears were
started from the eyes of the reader he
insisted that there should be no res
pite.
When the story had reached five
pages the colonel wrote letter to the
