A HOME
MISSIONARY
By Martha McCulloch Williams
Copyright, 1910, By Associated Literary Press,

When Sanford came back from a
frtlls, set Off with rosebud mouth
and an engaging and artless helpless
ness, it is putting it very mildly to
say the gang was amazed.
Sanford, the soul of capacity, the
stern judge, the fellow who had
weighed in the balance every friend
and emotion he had ever cherished
before allowing himself to cherish
them! 1t was beyond reason or cal
culation-they shook foreboding headl
behind his back. and to his face gave
him Fluctuations that were CHASTITY In
their exaggeration. But Mrs. Sand.
ford-nobody ventured somehow to
call her Mabel, albeit first-naming was
rigid gang rule-smiled small soft
smiles over the Fluctuations, and muir.
INJURED that she hoped Archer's friends
would find tiny space for her.
She was a nice little thing-all
agreed to that. But what of Sand.
ford's future? Arch was none SO easy
to live with. Moreover, his work al
ways suffered If he had rasping en-
v1ronment. And with this ridiculous
child at the head of his establishment,
he could not help but be rasped. 1t
showed how little she knew that she
insisted upon keeping house-the gang
affected studio life and bohemian din
ners.
The married members tried to warn
her-to point out the servant problem,
the jahitor pitfall, but all in vain. Will

An Inflated Figure.

Addison Miner, the well-known bon
vivant of New York, was discussing his
reported contract with a vaudeville
agency for series Of Partisan dances
at $1,000 week.
THAT report" he said, us inflated.
In its imitation of the salary and In
it's imitation of my knowledge of the
dances Of the East, the report re-
minds me Of a theatrical criticism l
once wrote. In this criticism of a
musical comedy l desired to iatter a
beautiful dancing girl. The girls fig
ure was superb. In my article
praised 1t ardently. But the exigencies
of space compelled the excelsior Of most
of the praise, and only one sentence,
containing a horrible typographical err
ror, was left. This unfortunate sen
tence ran:

the second act, possesses form that

UngalIant. but Effective.

In breach of promise case, tho
barrister who held the brief for in.
jured beauty, arranged that his fair
client should be so placed that her
charms should be we'll under the OBJ
servation of the jury. He began a
most pathetic appeal by directing
their attention to her beauty, and call
ing for justice upon the head of him
who could wound the heart and betray
the confidence of one so fair, conclud.
ing with peroration of such pathos
as to melt the court to tears. The
counsel for the defendant then rose,
and after paying the lady the compli-
ment of admitting that it was I'M
possible not to assent to the encom.
iums lavished upon her face, he add.
ed that nevertheless he felt bound to
ask the jury not to forget that she
wore a wooden leg. Then he sat
down. The important fact, of which
the fair plaintiffs counsel was I'm.
aware, was presently established; and
the jury, feeling rather sheepish at
their tears, assessed damages at the
smallest amount.

He'll escape-the slough won't last
six months" Bent said airily.
Eyes, he'll find even he can't dram.

added.
Ada Ware, Linson's sweetheart
only sighed. But after a minute she
said smiling:
Who'll bet that We are never asked
to Sanford dinner? Arch is SO hos.
pitable, he'll want U.S.
"And he'll have us just the same
but not at home to bother wife," Bent
chanted, pushing the bottle to the mid.
die of the table.
They were dining at Marella's. and
had prolonged the session by an extra
bottle, f1avoring the wine with gossip
OF their friends. There were regular
Marella nights, but at the next of
them only handful of the gang ap.
peared-the fringe as it were. All the
inner circle had been asked to dine at
the Sandfords, and had accepted as
one person.
"No! l didn't cook thing. Isn't

asked, from the head of the table.
