''poet of the Sierras," and Blank, the
sweet swan of PackingtoWn," went
to England together and made a pill

Arrived at the jealousy guarded re-
treat of the great metrist, they con
fessed themselves to the poets faith,

The latter withdrew to break the
glad news to Swinburne, and the Wis"
itors began to think anxiously of the
nice things they wanted to say. Joa-
quin took q firm grip Of his flowing
whiskers, while Blank fingered rery-
ously q neat roll of manuscript in an
inner pocket. Soon Il door WIS opened
on an upper floor, DuntOn was heard
to make his announcement, and then

The Promenade Stopped.

Captain Deering, when he was in
command of a steamer running from
Portland to st. John, was once unable
to sleep on account of the ~ceaseless
tramp-tramp of some star gazing pas
senger on the hurricane deck over
head. After turning and twisting in
his berth for half an hour and the
tramping still continuing, Captain
Deering, enraged at the loss of his
sleep, rushed out in his night shirt and
climbed the ladder to the hurricane
deck.
The ~promenading passenger was
frightened half out of his wits by the
specter in white climbing up the lad
der, but was somewhat treasured when
the specter bawled out:
"Say, you; where are you going?"
"To st. john" replied the promenad-
er.
"Got a ticket?" pursued the ghost.
"Of course l have"
"Well, then, you COMPOUNDED fool, go
and lie down somewhere. You needn't

and cut him dead.
The next morning Harrington walk

fore. Miss Spencer was watching for
him from behind a curtain. For three
successive mornings she was at her
post and saw the same Indifference.
Then she wrote a note to Mr.. Harring-
ton telling him that she had declined
to speak to him because she had heard
something about him to his discredit.
If he would call on her she would tell
him; she didn't wish to do him an in

Harrington called the same evening.
Miss Spencer wore her most becoming
costume. She was a pretty girl and
had never looked prettier. There was
no convenient place for him to sit ex-
cept neXt her on the sofa. She told
him that some one had maligned him;
had said he hated M He replied
that he was not in a position to deny
the charge, for be had made such a re-

"But you didn't mean it," she said.
"Don't say you did, for I know you
are a gentleman, and none such would
attack the weaker sex"
Harrington saw a pair of beautiful
blue eyes looking into his. He felt
complimented, and he felt drawn to-

agreed said Miss Spencer.
Harrington kept his word. He called
often and invited her to go out with
him. She declined his invitations for
places of amusement for fear she
would be seen by some of the girls
with whom she had made the compact.
She knew very well what she would
say to them when the time came to
say it, but the time had not come.
One day Harrington was about to get
of a trolley car. A young lady on the
platform blocked his way. She was
about to step down into the street
when Harrington put a hand on her
shoulder and held her back. A second
later an automobile driven by a drunk

This is j. NJ. Barrie's favorite story
about Bret Hartc. When Harte reach
ed Glasgow after his appointment as
the American consul to that city his
finances were at a comparatively low
ebb, and instead of going at first to a
hotel he found it expedient to seek
lodgings at once. His search led him
to a dour Scotch landlady, arrange
ments were made, and after leaving
his belongings in his new home he
went out to look after his official du-
ties. Upon his return that evening he
was met by the landlady. Her atti-

No Boxes For Two.

Telephone girls sometimes glory IN
their mistakes if there is a joke in con.
sequence. The story is told by a tele-
phone operator in one of the Boston
exchanges about a man who asked her
for the number of a local theater. He
got the wrong number, and without
asking to whom he was talking he
said, Can l get a box for two to-
night?'
A startled voice answered him at the
other end of the line, 1--WE don't have
boxes for two.'
"Isn't this the - theater?' he called
GROSSLY.

an undertaking shop"
