Spriqhty Bold Thief Dares Her to Chase Him

jauntily inspected it's contents. He

when a head appeared above the top
of big screen In the rear of the store
and a startled feminine voice gasped:
well. of all things!" In fact, he
merely looked up and grinned and
calmly proceeded to transfer all the
cash in the drawer to his pockets.
But presently the same feminine
voice, proceeding from the aforesaid
visage above the screen, shrieked:

but in other ways 1t is said to be the
most marvellous, for on the back Of its
shell it had a mans face, done In
water colors. The face had been
painted by an artist of no mean abil-
ity and 1t depicted a man who had
looked long upon the cup that cheers.
The eyes were half closed and the
nose was very red. the entire shell
was taken up with the features of a
Broadway "rounder."
Mr.. Leahy, who is a member Of one
of the fishing clubs Of the beach and
is fond of his little joke, is accused Of
having had the crab decorated in ad-
vance and to have hooked it on his
line when no one was looking, but this
he stoutly denies.
Old fishermen, say the crab is at
least one hundred years old, but the
best experts pronounce the painting
to be of recent origin. Whatever the
antecedents of the crab may be or its
previous condition of servitude, there
are at least half hundred witnesses
to declare that 1t was pulled from the
bay by Mr.. Leahy.

Gardeners Appeal for the Elevation

sire for Her Happiness

Recalling the days when the literary
colony at Hartford. Conn, was acquir-
inf fame, Dr. Joseph H. Twichell used
to tell an amusing incident in the
friendship of Harriet Beecher Stowe
and Mark Twain.
The Stowe and the Clemens prem
fses were separated only by a fence.
close to which. directly in the rear Of
the Stoves house, was Mark Twain's
large conservatory.
Mrs. Stowe, ever a passionate lover
of flowers, availed herself thankfully
and literally of his invitation to make
free with its contents, much to the an
uoyance of the gardener, for she had a
careless way of breaking of flowers
from the stalk that vexed his soul.
When he made complaint Of this
habit Mr.. Clemens had numbers Of
pairs Of scissors put at intervals here
and there on the conservatory shelves.
trusting that Mrs. Stowe would see
and use them on her visits to 1t. But
they seemed to escape her notice. and
she continued to go on as before. till
at length the distressed gardener
begged Mark Twain to. lock the door
and keep her out.
But no; he told the poor fellow that
whatever she did the place must al
ways be open to her and her liberty
in 1t unrestrained. At that the much
tried man fervently exclaimed: 4
