SIMPLY MARVELLOUS.
But the Enthusiasm Of the Nice Ola
Professor Was Embarrassing.


The nice old professor whom some
OF his acquaintances We're blind enough
to refer to as absentminded, ran
across an old acquaintance at a recep
ton out University circle way the other
evening. He was delighted to meet the
lady. and he said in part:
II am simply delighted to stumble
upon YOU in this way. my dear Mrs.
Kensington. How long it has been
since we last met! But allow me to
say that time has dealt very lightly
with you. Who could imagine that
you have a daughter as old as Miss
Daisy, there-and just imagine little
Daisy being in society herself already
and looking like u grown up woman"
"Yes. Professor Ogleston, can hard
ly realize these things myself" smiled
the matron. DAISY is twenty years old
today. Think of that"
"Why. my dear Mrs. Kensington, you
don't tell me?" cried the professor. ut
doesn't seem possible! And it wasn't
more than ten years ago-yes, it was
just ten years ago. ! recall, because she
gave me that 1904 calendar that I've
always kept-she was a romping little
chit Of sixteen. Well, we'll, how mar
velously these girls do grow!"-Cleve-

The two members comprising the

quickly at each other when their
strange client repeated his question.

Bob Harley twisted his dark mus

truth, sir" he admitted. "all the
ghosts l ever met turned out not to
be spirits at ALL"
"And you, STRIP said the old man,
turning to Jack Rogers.
II, too, am skeptical," he confessed
pleasantly.
The old man was thoughtful. his
thin white hand stroking his cleanly
shaven cheek. Suddenly he lifted his
snowy head and said with decision.
"Perhaps it is best that you do not be-
lieve my story-that you do not be-

pears absurd in the face of common

quietly, sis where the ghost OF Alvin

"The ghost OF Alvin?" repeated
Rogers amazedly.
"Who was Alvin, sir?" asked Harley
practically.

BUT IF 1T COSTS $40 FOR THE CANAL TOLLS THUS MAX

The railroads propose to do much the thing with
