the bitter Of acid in the knowledge
that no one ever came up to him and
slapped him on the shoulder with a.
Hello, George, old sport; what's the
good word?" for the simple fact that
his shoulder was always bristling with
spikes, born Of the fear that some one
was making fun OF him.
Perchance his mothers spirit, hov.
ering over him this evening, might
have been inclined to tears. For they
do say that the ghosts Of the dear
ones are thus employed when We are
near to committing some folly, or to
exploring some forgotten chamber of
Pandora's box, or worse still, when
that lady intends e1nptying the whole
contents down upon our unfortunate
heads. If SO be. they were futile
tears; Percival Algernon had accom-.
plished its deadly purpose.

Vicious method, known only of gods,
they had got together all tho trials
and tribulations Of mankind (and some
of the joys) and locked them up in
this casket. It was the Golden Age,
as you may surmlse. You recall Eve
and the apple? Well, Pandora was a
forecast Of Eve; she couldn't keep her
eyes off the latch, and at length her
hands-Fatal curiosity! Whirr! And
everything has been at skies and at
sevens since that time. Pandora is
eternally recurring, now here, now
there; she Is blonde sometimes, and
again she Is brunette; and you may
take 1t from George and me that there
Is always something left In tho casket.

would leave Cor Tort s Md, thence to

He would be jolly glad to get home
again, to renew his comradeship with
his treasures. And, by Jove! there
was one man who slapped him on the

CHAPTER u.
An Affabie Rogue.


The carriage containing the gent1e.
man with the reversible cuffs drew up
at the side entrance. Instantly the
Arab guides surged and eddied round
him; but their clamor broke against q
composure as effective as granite. The
roar was almost directly succeeded by
low gurgle, as Of little waves reced.

spoken word; to the Arabs it was
not necessary; in come manner, subtle
and indescribable, they recognized

one Of tender solicitude, for he tucked

1t was, and waved aside the carriage.

cut popular to the season gone the
year before. No fat letter Of credit
here, was the not unreasonable conclu-
sion reached by the manager. Still.
with that caution acquired by years
OF experience, which had eliminated
IN what is known as Swiss diplomacy,
he brought into being the accustomed
salutatory smile and inquired If the
gentleman had written ahead for res

possible to accommodate him.

man agreed If, on the other hand
the boys first name should be George
and that he should learn the business

agreed that the boy himself ought tc

and to learn the rug business from

Percy Algy, and not only the boys
laughed. but the pretty girls snig-
gered. Many time he had returned
to his dormitory decorated (not in
accord with the fond hopes of his
mother) with a swollen ear, or a
rudy proboscis, or a green-brown
eye. There was a limit, and when
they stepped over that, why, he pro.
ceeded to the best of his ability to
solve the difficulty with his fists.
George was no milksop; but Percival
Algernon would have been the Old
Man of the Sea on broader shoulders
than his. He dimly realized that had
he been named George Henry William
Jones his sun would have been many
diameters larger. There was a splen-
did quality Of pluck under his appar-
ent timidity, and he stuck doggedly
to 1t. He never wrote home and COM
planned. What was good enough for
his mother was good enough for him.
1t seemed just an ordinary matter
of routine for him to pick up French
and German verbs. He was far from
being brilliant, but he was sensitive
and his memory was sound. Since
his mothers ambition was to see him
an accomplished linguist, he applied
himself to the task as If everything
IN the world depended upon it, just
as he knew that when the time came
he would apply himself as thoroughly
to the question of rugs and carpets.
Under all this filial loyalty ran the
puro strain of golden romance, side
by side with the lesser metal of prac-
ticality. When he began to read the
masters he preferred their romances
to their novels. He even wrote poetry
In secret, and when his mother discov-

WEDNESDAY MORNING MUSICALE

The first meeting for thu winter sea
son of this very delightful organiza-
ton was held at ten o'clock this morn
ing. There was a large and enthus.
iastic attendance. The time was oc-
cupied in organization and arranging
plans for the winter. The year book
for the musicale will be ready in a
short time and promises to be most in
teresting. The general outline consists
of a study of the works of the modern
composers, the song cycle and an OPP
cratic anthology. The chorus will al
once begin the study of a japanese
cantata, which is delicate and most at
tractive in style. The officers and
members are very much encouraged by
the interest generally shown.

AS Mr.. J. E. Johnson was going to
the postoffice this morning, he crossed
the trail of a good sized snake, which
was just coming out of the dense
weeds on the lot opposite Mayor Rob-
ertson's residence. He soon killed the
snake, but more of them may be in
the weeds and the city should see that
they are cut. Snakes are of retiring
disposition, but they are not pleasant
denizens of a locality frequented at
this time of year by barelegged child
rem. The odor from the drain along
there is not like altar of roses, either.
