THE POT AND THE KETTLE
Young Woman's Suspicion Of Stranger
In Train Results In Much EN-
barrasement-

She was not accustomed to travelling
alone. and when a strange man took
the seat beside her In the day coach
she was annoyed. especially as there
were other vacant seats which he
might have chosen To make the
matter more unpleasant the train sud
denly shot into a tunnel. Hastily the
young woman remembered that in the
big. square pocket of her coat on the
side next the stranger, was her purse.
Agitatedly she thrust her hand down
into the pocket to make sure her
purse was still there. Not moment
too soon. To her horror she felt the
strangers hand slip softly down into
her pocket, and in an instant his hand
had closed over hers. She suppressed
terrified desire to leap up and
scream. What was the use of making
disturbance in a tunnel? People
would only grin. and imagine all sorts
of things. OF course he was only a
common thief, and so soon as the light
of day was again turned on him he
would withdraw his hand. She then
could take another seat, and not draw
to herself the attention of the other
passengers. AS the thoughts and
plans were flashing through her mind
the train emerged from the tunnel
and the stranger turned on her a slow,
significant smile. Her hand was deep
down in the pocket of his overcoat

filed asking that valuat lions OF real estate be
reduced from the assessment of 1910. In all
cases the Board decided that in as much as
the judgment of the deputy assessors in the
1910 assessment had not been objected to at
the Board OF Equalization meeting for the
year 1910 and that the several Boards of
Review had passed their judhment and not
made the changes. and they could not see
any unjust discrimination in the assessment

She Played the Green.

The attache of a European embas-
sy was very much attracted by a
western girl of great beauty and still
greater wealth at a summer resort,
and In order to interest her deeply he
fell into the habit of discoursing at
length on his family tree and telling
her that ancestry was of great value
to man.
The girl from the west had been
brought up IN a section of the country
where every man was accepted for
what he was. and not because of what
his ancestors had been or done. She
began to be bored by the attaches
lectures on pedigree.
Blue blood" he remarked one day,
is somethip not everybody can
boast Of"
"Oh. yes" she agreed indifferently;
but what's the use of blue blood II
you haven't got the long green?"-
