MORE TO COME.

Recently in Seattle in a cigar
stand appeared the sign, eve give
$500 for 1909 Lincoln pennies. :"
No less person was attracted by
this than Judge Watson. He walked
up to the counter and laying down
a penny triumphantly asked for
$500. The clerk took the penny,
examined it closely, asked if it were
genuine, and after several minutes
sighed and said he guessed it was
good.
Certainly it is" answered the
judge. "Where is my $500"
"Where," said the clerk, Fare the
other 190S?"-Life.

After moments reflection, Maurice
began tentatively: Il s'pose you'd like
to win out with Margaret pretty
well?"

eyes glowing at the thought.

Maurice continued, land now I'm 60

fun to fool Chase. He certainly is the

What do you propose to dor" asked
Dick with dawning interest.
Maurice eyed him sharply.

do just exactly as l tell you? If YOU

Maybe ! shall, anyway"
Gazing into the lads earnest face
Dick promised to follow instructions.
He could surely make matters no
worse than they were. Perhaps"
The boys eager voice interrupted
his thoughts. Tomorrow morning. ar

tackle at any store here?'
Sure-f you've got the price"
Tiff you see that matters are

pick out the best fishing outfit you
can find and let me foot the bill"
"Gee!" exclaimed Maurice. Amt
! glad | came! I'll tell the cook to
count on fish, beginning tomorrow"
But for his talk with Maurice, Dick
thought that he could never have

THAT rascal Maurice Is playing

wrathfully. What would the fellows
say If they knew I'd do fool thing
like this just to humor boy In his
whim?"
He dropped his collar button, and
that gave him fresh outlet for his
Ill humor. Then he laughed at the
whole affair and felt more at peace
with himself and the world.
AS he left the house his watch told
him that he woald reach the rendez-

A
few vigorous strokes took him to the
side of the sinking boy. There was
thrilling scene in the water, then
both were safe on shore with Mar
garet lowering over her brother.
Maurice's fiuttering eyelids opened
at last, and he whispered that he'd
soon be all right. Reassured as to the
boys condition, Margaret turned her
grateful eyes to his rescurer.
How can ! ever thank your" she
exclaimed.
Il don't want your thanks" Dick
answered boldly. II want-you!"
The rosy flush of dawn seemed re-

GADY DESLYS
 IN NEW YORK

A huge crowd at the Winter Garden waited patiently through the opening scenes of witless, tuneless "revue" for the appearance of the long -heralded Gaby Deslys, says the New York cor respondent of the Chicago Tribune. Most of those present had spent great deal of money for their seats, having bought them at auction the previous week.
 Gaby had been placed in the middle section of the program. She was to appear in a one act vaudeville sketch entitled Les Debuts de Chichine," assisted by company of four, two Frenchmen, her maid, and Harold Crane, an American with a leading mans physique and good wardrobe.
 Gaby made her entrance on the arm of Crane, lowing, shaking her short blonde curls, wiggling from one small foot to the other, much after the fash ion of Eva Tanguay. When she spoke it was in a strongly accented English.  She was delaying as much as possible the Englishman's declaration of love and promising her hand to the man who would find for her an opportunity to make stage debut.
 She wore a tight fitting cap studded with brilliants and surmounted by tall black aigrette, which may or may not have cost kings ransom, and a cable of pearls about her neck. Her gown was of delicate pink, over which hung a long cape of green brocade, edged withe royal ermine. A moment later she dropped the English and chatted in her native tongue with her two Frcnchmen, one playing a dancing master, the other singing teacher, in the sketch. They, too, pleaded for the favor of her love and were in turn ap- prsed of the conditions. The scene changed, and Gaby was in her rose bedecked bedchamber. Here she was followed by the importunate singing | teacher, who told his love in song. while she threw aside her cloak and assisted with the chorus, He.' voice is a so- prano of ordinary quality. The singing teacher being followed by the dancing master, mademoiselle considerably but reluctantly retired to change her cos tune to dancing frock of black and | white, that had mot so much in front and little less than half of that behind" Her dancing compares favor ably with that of graduate chorus girl,
 Following the disappearance of the dancing master, mademoselle again retired, to reappear in short skirted affair of lavender chiffon over pink mostly plnk, Gaby. Atop her curls was simple nightcap of pearls fringed with beads and carrying cloud of l lavender tulle. In this she jumped into bed, and when her suitors again
