BY the time the Congo had been
warped alongside Tillbury Docks
was entirely satisfied in my own mind
that wanted to marry what 1 firmly
believed was the most beautiful, tall
ented and winsome woman 1 had
ever encountered; but determining
to do the thing decently and in order,
took the address OF the lodging to
which she was going, and begged per-
mission to call upon her with my sis
ter. In due time the call was made.
Miss b. was out, but at my urgent
request sister left a note inviting her
to spend n week with us at Maiden
head, where my brother-in-law had
taken a home for the summer. A
couple of days later she wrote us
saying that she had engagements
covering the next three or four weeks,
but at the end of that time it was
| possible that she would be able to
give us few days of her company.
My hated rivals were getting ahead
of me, I thought, and 1 was a good
deal cast down until, at the end of
! three or four days, another letter
came to say that she had cancelled
her engagements, and was at liberty
to come down at once. / got sister to
wire her to come the following after
noon, and spent the interim rehears-
ing proposal.

Smith came out on tiptoe.
Doug rose to the OCCASION:

"Wha'd she do? G'wan an tell

First, l want to tell you she's got

she marks down ever thing we've
done during the week, an not only
what we've done. but the day and the
hour an the minute we done 1t. Well,
sir, she's got two whole pages against
old Pat, fer seen It! She says,
Now, Patrick, at 9.25 on Monday
morning you scraped your feet under
your desk. 1t was very annoying
she says, and l don't want 1t ever to
happen again, so you may scrape your
feet now for ten minutes. and 1 hope
that will last you the rest OF your
life Well, old Pat he acted some
thin awful, an said he wouldn't.
You ought to "a seen her eyes-they
just flashed fire, an she says real low

was up she made him promise that
he'd never do it again, an then she
took up somethin' else fer him to do
fer the next ten minutes. He's
jumped, an hoped, an squatted, an
banged desks, an when left she had
him a-scrapin' up the ink by his desk

Doug had just paused to get the
full effect of the sensation his story
had produced, when some one yelled,
"Jiggers!"
The door opened once more and
out came Miss Morris, followed by a
cowed-looking. tear-stained lad, who
was hardly recognizable as the Patsy
Morgan from whom they had parted
over an hour ago.
One glance told Patsy that his
| friends knew 1t all, and swiftly he
mapped out his course of procedure.
He'd spoil Doug's story If he died for
it! He sprang to Miss Morris side
| and touched his cap politely:
May l carry your bundle to the
street car for you?" he asked.
why, certainly" answered Miss
Morris, sweetly.
The boys stood for a moment in
speechless amazement, looking fool
ishly after the departing couple. The
next thing Doug knew he was picking
himself up from the sidewalk and
some one was saying:
Aw, you big liar, you; I've a no.
ton to punch your face into the mid
die of next week"
AS Miss Morris climbed into the car
with Patsy's help, she said cheerily:
Don't forget to study your lessons
for Monday, Patrick"

car shot away into the gathering

Berlin, Sept. tf.-News that Com

afresh regarding the claims of Peary

such as .Gravelius, Heliman, sfeglin,

disposed throughout to believe the
word of both Cook and Peary, as they
had no reason to doubt the scientific
competence or sincerity of either ex-
