letter from friend In England. writ

to return loan OF So The man who
wrote the letter needed funds and
would the debtor kindly send the
money TO him, care OF the steamship

Philadelphia within a day or two. so
he promptly clapped ten dollar bill In
an envelope and addressed and mailed

mail that the money had not arrived,
Both men made dilIgent search for
the missing letter. But It could not bc
found. So the debtor gave his friend
a check and forgot about his $40. set

the envelope.

THE CONCIERGE.
Tyrant Rule Of the Autoerat Of the
Partisan Flat House.

Partisan Flat House.
The concierge" Is considered to be
the bane OF the Partisan fiat dweller's
existence Ills functions are supposed
to be the following:
The first and most important Is to
collect the rent ON quarter day: after
that he must see that the tenants do
not surreptitlously remove. The latter
precautlon seems to be somewhat un.
necessary, as rents In Paris are always
paid In advance.
He should also bring up your letters
at least twice a day. but as the con-
cicrge Is generally a stout. middle aged
woman who has decided objection to
climbing stairs the latter regulation re-
mains somewhat of a dead letter.
In Paris the front door OF most
houses Is generally closed ut 10 o'clock.
After that time admittance can only be
obtained by ringing bell. The con
cierge Is obliged TO open the door. and
she does this. as soon as she Is awake.
by pulling n rope which hangs by her
bedside.
II she Is sound sleeper and you are
accustomed to come home late at night.
the best thing to do Is to look for an
other fiat. as the concierge will put you
down rs bad tenant" and make
things rs unpleasant for you as posi-
BILE.
II you never stop out late nj night,

pected from you and the incoming ten

called "denier Dieu." she is anx-
ious to speed the parting guest" as
much as possible.
The concierge does sometimes make
Anal effort to extract something more
from you by attempting to make you
pay franc for every nail knocked in
the walls Of your fiat. but this has been
decided to be Illegal and may be safely
resisted.
But the Partisan concierge Is really
unpopular because she represents n
landlord.-London Mail.
