Ny splendid boyi Forgive and forget
Dick. IL you can. and come and see
the silly old dad"
Luckily Rere was an envelope In
which he pS the card. Then he gave
IL to a programme girl with a half
crown.
See that Mr. Semper has that as
soon as possible he said. And when
she saw the coin she nodded and
smiled. After the curtain had fallen
on the next act she came back 10 the
end OF his row and a note was passed
along TO him.
Dear Dad" It ran, "rI bring the
wife and boy tomorrow. SO glad you
are pleased. IL Is wonderful about the
play. Wait 70 hear what Newbury
says. Yours affectionately. Dick"

At the end OF a month confidence

letter Of inquiry. In answer he re-
ceived what looked like a stereotyped
reply form TO the effect that so many
unsolicited plays were sent TO the
theatre that considerable delay In
considering them was often quite in
evitable. After waiting another
month he wrote again, but this time
no answer was vouchsafed. Wrath

an angry and peremptory demand for
the return Of his play. This drew
forth a very polite rejoinder from Mr..
Rideing himself. He had made a
most careful investigation. he said.

Unhappily his real talents did not
lie in that direction, so that hard as
he worked he never enjoyed any great
success The feeling that he was a

Joseph saius Tries to Kiss Sister, but

iy Beaten.

Webster Mass.-The return of
Joseph Salus of Chicago to his home
here after an absence of twelve years
was marked by g reception different
from that of the biblical prodigal.
Salus desired to surprise his people,
and there had been no forewarning of
his presence when the door was
opened by his sister, now Mrs. SAX.
Overjoyed at seeing her, Salus en-
braced the woman, VITO screamed,
bringing her husband to her side.
Salus was floored with left-hand
swing. Before he could recover the
angry husband seized the supposed
intruder by the neck, dragged him
down fight Of stairs, threw him into
the street and called the police.
When the time for explanations ar
rived Salus established his identity
and received his welcome home and
first aid for his injuries.
