Embarrassing.

A great lover of animals Professor
Dryasdust was much given to having
his pet dog sitting beside him at meal
times eating tidbits from his own lit

The other evening he was at din

great lady. who was proud of her

But the professor paid absolutely no
attention to her. His mind had
switched of on to some abstruse point
and he was lost to the world over the
problem.
The duchess did not approve of this,
and presently. to attract his attention,
she pulled him gently by the sleeve.
Then the professor woke up. Grab

Jealousy Comes Aboard.

There was an air of domestic peace
in the observation room, where Nal.
lory and Marjorie had been left to
themselves for some time. But the
peace was like the ominous hush that
precedes a tempest.
Mallory was so happy with every
thing coming his way. that he was
even making up with Snoozleums
stroking the tatted coat with one hand
and holding up his newspaper with
the other He did not know all that
was coming his way. The blissful 81.
lence was broken first by Marjorie:
How do you spell Utah with a
~
Utah begins with You" he said
and rather liked his wit, listened Tor
some recognition. and rose to get it,
but she waved him away.
Don't bother me. honey. Cant you
see I'm busy?"
He kissed her hair and sauntered
hack. dividing his attention between
Snoozleums and the ten.lnnlng game.
