That Professor Polydore had mar
ried has already been recorded. But
how he came to do so is a separate
story; and. as 1t involved a master
stroke of diplomacy on the part OF
cupid. 1t is we'll worth the telling
and, perhaps. also worth the reading.
Polydore, at the time in question,
occupied small fiat. In the ad1on-
ing fat dwelt Miss Bentham. an ex-
ceedingly pretty young woman. Her
pare had died a short time before,
leaving her penniless but with an in
exhaustible fund of pluck and
talent, as a pianist, sufficient to en-
able her to earn a comfortable liveli-
hood by giving lessons.
The two fats had been constructed
out OF one large apartment by run
ming a partition through the middle.
The window In the Centre
1t was an eminetly successful transr
formation In every respect except
one; the window which. before the
partltioning. had been the central
one of three in the front room, was
now divided like the room itself, one
half belonging to one fiat, and tho
other half to the other.
This would not have mattered much
had IL not been for the circumstance
that often when Tolydore wanted tho
window shut the piano teacher
wanted II open: and vice versa.
And although on these occasions
nothing was done or said by either
tenant to show resentment toward
the other. there was considerable
silent crashing of teeth and an ever
increasing accumulation of pent-up
/ hatred.
one day, when Miss Bentham had
opened the window, a pretty bird,
which had probably escaped from a
cage. perched upon the window sill
lust midway between the two flats
and poured forth a song so exquisite
ly beautiful that Polydore as well as
the young teacher remained perfectly
Cntranced
Two Hands Reached for the Bird.
All the conclusion of the song a
hand was stretched forth from each
side of the partition to grasp the bird
Vain effort! The sweet singer es-
CAPPED: but the two hands met in a
mutual grasp; and, for the first time
since they had occupied the flats, Miss
I3entham and Professor Polydore
gazed INTO each others countenance.
Each made profuse apologies to the
other. And when Polydore remarked

cried, I believe every single word
about you. You are cross and cranky
and mean and grabbed, and | don't
see how even that old darlxie likes
you. Sc there And, swallowing a
lump in her throat, Betty dropped
TO her knees and prepared to wiggle
through the hole in the fence.
For a moment Mr.. Spuggins
gazed speechless. Then he called
in commanding voice, come here
I'm spite of herself Betty halted.
But she said. with a defiance she
did not feel, 4 won't

man, Pm not used to being defied.
| won't eat you up. | want to talk
TO you He leaned on his cane in
weary way, and somehow, his voice
did not seem so harsh. So Betty
slowly approached him, stopping
about two yards away, twisting her
apron nervously.
"'Come and sit on this bench.
said Mr.. Spuggins. Betty didn't
move.
81 don't blame her." said Dorothy,
''he was horrid old man.
Don't interrupt" said father
Dear; las / said before, Betty d dnt

thing happened. The old man ac-
tually smiled 1t wasn't very big
smile. or a very convincing one,
but it was a marvel for Mr. Spug-
gins to accomplish.
Please come and sit down he
said, and his voice was gentle. Betty
looked at him with wide eyes. Then,
slowly, she approached and seated
herself on the end of the bench,
as far away from Mr. Spuggins as
WAS possible. He leaned over and
touched her sunny curls, to her dis

again and afford hum another oppor@
tuniiy to grasp for it, the only re-
Spouse his handsome neighbor made
was to blush becomingly.
The bird did not pay them another
visit; but, somehow, both Polydore
and Miss Bentham we're at the win-
dow to look for it many times on that
and the succeeding days.
And each time they met they would
exchange some pleasant remark be-
coming more and more sociable. until
The bird, which was the ostensiblo
object of their quest, ceased to be the
topic of discussion, and other themes
began to engross them.

"Do you believe in palmistryzs
asked Polydore one day

and so much against it, replied Miss
Bentham. that | am in doubt wheth-
er it's claims are justified or not
Your fingers as we'll as mine are
short" said Polydore. THAT shows
that we are both fond Of quick re-
suits and averse to mere details. Also,
our fingers are, as you see. smooth
that Is, the knuckles are not prom
inent. This signifies great impulsive~
ness.
II also note that on the side of your
hand, just below thesbase of the little
finger, there is line rather short
but very deep and clear. On my
hand you can see there is similar
line. Do you know what that means?~
az haven't the remotest idea," res
piled Miss Bentham
ut means that each of us is to have
in our lives one very deep. sincere

Miss Bentham was silent.

did not prevent the girl from saying

And. as the night was profoundly
dark and no light in either fiat. the
kiss which sealed the plighted troth
was not observed by prying eyes.

Let me see.
The story stopped yesterday Just
as Betty Blake crawled through a
hole in the fence into the yard of
the cross old Mr. Spuggins. who
lived next door to the Blake chill

house.
Father Dear was telling the story
to Dorothy and Davie. You remem-

his pleasant voice, when Betty
found herself quite through the

heart jumped up in her throat and

mouth, and had to swallow hard
several times in order to prevent
such a terrible occurrence.

dress with nervous fingers.

Every member of the Wilson house

wines or liquors of any character.
That is to say, the Wilson's have
great appreciation for the pure and
the good and have some convictions,
some conscience back of it all. The
American people ought to rejoice and
be glad that man of morals" is
