The Kings Premature Death,

The leading tragedian of small

one evening for man to walk on In
the first act OF historical bloodcur-

with the information, my lord, the
king Is dead" SO the leading TRACE
dian took an active and fairly pnssnbe
stage hand on one side and, engaging
him for an extra shilling or two, in
structed him carefully upon the artis-
tic responsibilities Of his new duties
Now, mind you" he said. 1.-THE first
time you come on you say, My lord,
the king IL H. and the second time
you come on you say, My lord, the
king IL dead" That's all right,
guv'norw exclaimed the unsbayen re-
cruit, growing visibly larger In the
chest with the magnitude OF his pro
motion. And then "the night came,
and In the frst act on swaggered the
dusty debutant, with the dread line,
uttered hurriedly. but in prodigious
voice, my lord, the king is dead"
"Oh, is heT snarled the leading trage-
dian, turning upon the much befeather-
ed messenger look of eternal hatred.

Ing, but while Aunt Rebecca was pull
ing the tomatoes and picking the Gu
cumbers he walked straight up to the
unfortunate" and wrote on a pad he
had brought for the purpose:
Fishing was good yesterday. I
hoped you would be out"
81 don't care 80 much about fishing"
she wrote.
Wouldn't you like a sail on the
bayT
She shook her head
81 see no hammock here. l have
spare one and will be glad to put 1t

Another shake, but she signed her
thanks at the same time.
81 said he'd come, and he did come"
observed Aunt Rebecca after the young
man had departed. Here's the card
he left. He lives in town and paints
pictures. What's the name Clarence
Denton?"
ooh, he won't come againl I'm going
fishing today, and II see him coming
I'll row away. Perhaps I shall give
him snub."
The snub was administered two
hours later Miss Jessie had reached
her fishing ground when the artist was
sighted bearing down upon her. She
lifted her anchor and rowed straight
away, and the distance was too far for
him to see the smile on her face or for
her to see the look Of chagrin on his
As the day turned out to be warm
there was no boating In the afternoon,
and neither did Mr.. Denton show up
for more vegetables in the morning,
Miss Jessie pretended to be well pleas
ed, but down in her heart she was
piqued
As matter of fact, the girl had be-
come indignant by the time she had
taken up the oars, and the feeling was
added to after she had flshed for an
hour without bite or sight of the
other boat Then came an Interrupt
ton. She hooked what she believed
was a whale, and in her excitement
she rose up and tumbled into the wa
ter with great splash. The boat
did not go over, and she soon had her
hands on It, But to draw herself ny
was another matter. She could not
do It. She could only hang on and
think of sharks
She had been clinging for half an
hour when n boat suddenly appeared
In sight, and at the top of her voice
she called out to be saved. She called
once, twice, thrice, and then the boat
was beside her. and Mr.. Clarence Den
ton was lifting her In by the shoulders
He said no word until she was In and
then asked:
"Does It always have this effect on
deaf and dumb people"
II can't say as to others, but have
surely found my voice." was the saucy
reply.
"Well, that's worth the wetting,
saw you when you went over, but was
waiting for you to call. AS you may
lose your voice again II not taken care
Of, l will accompany you home"
After Mr.. Denton had been an al
most daily caller at Towser's for three
weeks and pretty constant guest al
the dinner table Aunt Rebeccn beck
oned Miss Jessie out behind the cur
rant bushes one evening and said
"If you haven't lost your voice again
you'd better tell him that Pm willing
Uncle Joe's willing and that your
father Ii one Of the willingest men In
the world. Then you'd better be will
