mat depends on what you're leav-
Ing behind Most folks seem TO get
enough OF 1t in about six months"
Then he went his way, leaving Well
lngton red, agape and perplexed. The
trouble with Wellington was that he
mad brought along what he was leav-
ing behind. Or as Ashton impudently
observed: You ought to enjoy your
residence there. Wellington, with your
wife on hand"
The only repartee that Wellington
could think OF was rather unin-
splred: You go to -
SO long as it isn't Reno" Ashton
laughed, and walked away.
Wedgewood laid sympathetic hand
on Little Jimmie's shoulder. and said:
That Ashton is no end of a bound
err what"
Wellington wrote his epitaph in
these words:
Well, the worst | can say OF him
is, he's the kind OF man that doesn' [
lift the plug out when he's through
with the basin"
He liked this so well that he wished
he had thought Of it in time to crack
1t over Ashton's head. He decided
to hand 1t to him ANYWAY. He forgot
that the cardinal rule for repartee Is
Better never than late"
AS he swung out of the mems room
he was buttonholed by an individual
new to the little Trans-American col
ony. One OF the camp-followe and
suffers who prosper round the edges
of all great enterprises had waylaid
him on the way to the battle-ground
OF marital freedom.
The stranger had got on at an
earlier stop and worked his way
through the train to the car named
"Snowdrop." Wellington was his first
victim here. His pushing manner,
the almost vulture-like rapacity OF his
cleaning eyes, and the very vul-
turine contour Of his profile. his palmy
gestures, his thick lisp, and every
thing about him gave Wellington his
immediate pedigree.
1t i'll behooves Christendom to need
reminding that the Jewish race has
adorned and still adorns humanity
with some of its noblest specimens: /:
but this interloper was of the type
that must have irritated Voltaire into
answering the platitude that the Jews
are Gods chosen people with that
other platitude, Tastes differ"
Little Jimmie Wellington, hot in
pursuit of Ashton. found himself
checked in spite of himself; in spite
Of himself deposited somehow into a
seat, and in spite of himself confront
ed with curvilinear person, who
said:
"EXcoose, pleass! but are you get

ly. essaying to rise, only to be deli
cately restored to his place with a
gesture and a phrase:
Then you meet me-"
"Oh, | need you, do |? And who
are you?"

Wellington found pasteboard in
his hand and read the legend:
