why do you lick the postage
stamp" one woman was heard to ask
another at the post ONCE the other
afternoon. Tho obvious reply was, of
course, to make it behave itself ON
the letter, but this was not made. Tho
other woman simply looked up in sur.
prise and remarked: "Why not?" Il
always moisten the corner of the en-
velope instead" was the response. Il
do not like the taste Of the mucilage
on the stamp. It may be as sanitary
% the envelope corner, but it doesn't
taste 20 well, and I'd rather risk the
envelope than the stamp. So lick
that instead" Its q good idea," re-
Piled the other. And thereupon she
proceeded to do it, although she had
already applied her tongue to the
stamp to moisten it. But she had tho
satisfaction Of knowing she did it her
way a. we'll - the way of her friend.

toward the sharp clear stars OF this
October night. The man had thou
sands in the banks, unlimited credit,
seen in the restaurants over on Broad
way, and never with woman. His
cook and valet had been with him for
ten years and had accompanied him
on his travels. He lived comfortably,
not luxuriously. He was fine chess
player and was lucky ut bridge and
poker, but never gambled in stocks or
public places. He was thirty-nine
years old, in good health. What would
draw man toward playing at safe
breaking If not latent criminal in
stinct? On the other hand, this pas
time was known to several of his
banker friends, who sometimes made
wagers with him. Well, we'll; his
right or left thumb would presently
settle the whole matter, one way or
the other.
A taxicab came chugging into the
street, stopped for a moment before

bundle under his arm opened the
door.
