ARTFuL BILL DROPS IN.
Calls TO See His Friend Tom About
Small Money Matter.

Bystanders saw the derby-hatted,
bushy-eyebrowed little man enter the
office of his friend with the air of one
who has something on his mind.
well. well! If there amt Old Bill!'
exclaimed the man sitting at his desk
What's on your mind, anyhow"
"Oh, just dropped in, Tom," replied
Bill. Found myself on your door and
Just thought I'd see how everything
was with you"
"Glad you did. Well, how're you
maxim out?"
First rate. How's things with
your"
"Oh, can't complain at all. How
are all the folks?"
Zine. Everything's coming all right
with you. is it?"
Now, after the conversation had run
along in that strain for a little while
the bystanders in the office decide y
that the caller had dropped in to maze
o touch.
Bill shifted from one foot to the
other uneasily. He seemed to lack
for word Evidently it was coming,
"Oh, by the way, TONI" spoke UP
Bill suddenly, with much show Of
spontaneity, "I was just on my way
down to pay my rent and 1t Just struck
ne that | haven't quite enough on
ne Could you let me have that ten
pot ! lent you down at the club last
rght?"
There. He'd said it. The worst
weg OVER. And it wasn't a touch af-e
all, but man trying to collect deb,
in an inoffensive way, which is thrice
rs embarrassing.
Tom looked at his visitor. "Didn't
| ever give that back to you?" he ask
ed. Huh! Why didn't you speak OF
1t before?"
"Oh, l haven't needed it-wouldn't
have thought of it now, in fact, If
hadn't been standing here and just
happened to think about-not having
enough to hand to the landlord"
Sorry you had to ask for it," apollo
gized Tom.
"Oh. that's all right, guess know
you we'll enough to feel free to ask for
what l want, hey? No need of formal
ity or anything between us. OF course
| wouldn't have mentioned 1t at that
If l hadn't just been here and hap
pened to think"-and so on.
And having collected debt that had
been on his mind for months, while
he wondered how to get 1t without Civ
ing offense, Bill went his way in .
high state of inward glee.

Orlplnal Miniatures,

The original miniatures were the
small pictures with which manuscripts
were illuminated in the middle ages
They got their name not on account
Of their minute size, but because they
were colored with minium (red lead)
whence came the Italian designation
miniature. Following the invention OF
the art Of printing and engraving,
miniature painting entered a new
phase, and the word came to mean In
popular parlance simply a small por-
trait.
