five minutes from my home).
They always came back about our
meal hours. / called them Paddy and
Polly. Paddy is afraid of nothing;
he comes into the dining room and
walks around the table, taking food
from everyone, and one day he had
the boldness to turn two cats from
their saucer of bread and milk and
finished the contents himself. Another

AS ever when she was with me. my

lips in sympathy / found that curious

Then 1 saw that must straightway
dig some chasm impossible between

From that we fell to talking in her

terms dispassionate and cool of this or
aught else; and when looked upon her
my heart beat faster and my blood
leaped quickly. and 1 knew not always
what II was I said.

which saw the beginning of struggle

An amusing incident occurred in a
hotel few nights ago. says a Phila-
delphia newspaper. 1t appears that a
farmer from South Jersey. who was
unusually ignorant of city ways, went
to the hotel with las son. The father
retired early, but the sen went out to
see the town"
At 1890 o'clock the farmer went
downstairs and inquired of the night
clerk If the boy had returned yet He
was told that he had not. The father
went back to his room, An hour later
he again appeared before the clerk
and said:
'Hain't Jack in yet?'
Again he was informed that the lad
was out. The ole man made several
subsequent trips, and still his boy was
among the missing. Finally, at $3.50
O'Clock, the farmer trudged YEARLY
down the stairs and asked again If his
boy had returned.
NO, he's not in yet" replied the
night clerk.

Finally he succeeded in getting a
