HIS VISITOR
(By James WatsOn.)

"I al: expecting a visitor tonight.

His landlady's voice sounded more
friendly than he had heard 1t for long
time, a fact probably connected with his
paying four weeks overdue rent OF his
room a few moments before. The sud-
den Transformation of her lodger from
a doubtful debtor into solvent superior,
needed some show of appreciation.
Mrs. Maloney felt rather uneasy.
She had been letting out furnished
rooms TN the neighborhood, of 91st
street and Second avenue for many
years and seen many queer people, but
she had surely never seen an express
sion as that she was now beholding
in this young mans eyes He seemed
at the same time calm and excited, his
face was rather paler than usual,
though she had never seen 1t any
thing but pale, and his fingers were
restlessly drumming on the table
THE man, I am expecting, Mrs Ma
loney. is a very grand and influential
parsonage, more powerful than even
the president of the United States, so
you may ina ine how I\feel. knowing
that he is TO take dinner with me In
this very room tonight
Good Lord and st is a little cold
corned beef and potatoes that I have
for supper tonight -"
''Corned beef and potatoes, Mrs. Ma
loney-" Can you get a decent dinner
for this?" he asked and threw down
"a 20 dollar bill.
Mrs Maloney rubbed her eyes in as
constituent Never had any of her
dodgers displayed so much cash and
she had her doubts as to whether he
had got it honestly, but quickly came
to a satisfactory conclusion.
He must have sold that there book

aloud and added a number of fancy
dishes that set her own mouth water

Maloney. I leave it all TO you and #

conduct will be made under any cir

system is constructed along military
lines, and German commerce is always
under martial law.
But this does not mean that German
business men lack adaptabili They

Helen was neither narrow nor over
