either Umbrella Was Not Hers or
Alternative Was an Unpleasant
Suggestion.

The portly old lady with the pince-
neg and disappearing mouth, shaded
by fairly perceptible mustache, sat
bolt upright in the ladies' cabin Of
the Long Island City ferryboat, accord
ing to the New York Times. Rain was
beginning to patter on the muddy
water Of the river, and she glanced
down at her stiff mohair dress with
a look Of concern, then around at her
fellow passengers, in vain endeavor
to detect familiar face Evidently
there was no one present to come to
her aid when the further shore should
be reached, and the rain was beating
down more heavily each minute. Sud
denly she leaned forward and mo-
toned to attract the attention of a
quiet young man who was deeply en-
crossed with the last number of the
Forum.
Sir" she said, with authority, 81

mistake, in possession of my UNI

Too Near Home.

A little bank in the south blew up
one day and a bank examiner came
down to look it over.
AS he was working he noticed an
old negro walking back and forth in
front of the bank, stopping each trip
to look anxiously at the door. The ex.
aminer finally went out and asked:

Several days later there appeared
in metropolitan paper an article
concerning Ralph Whitney 1t was
diatribe of ridicule rather than of
scandal. The young legislators po-
litical achievements were burlesqued
and his personality was sarcastically
caricatured. 1t was a story to ex-
asperate a man, to bring upon him
the merciless chaffing of his friends
and to do no real damage to his repu-
tation for ability and integrity.
The evening after it appeared
Ralph Whitney went to see Marian
Lewis.
Have you read this?" he asked
abruptly as she entered the room
where he was waiting for her. He
held the paper in his hand. His eyes
were shining.
Yes, have read it,
1T is a glorious article; the most
fortunate lampoon ever directed
against me. When first read 1t I

Marian, | am free man, free to tell

foil for her luckless stepcousin, Elise.
She was sorry for Elise, whose life
ran sluggishly between drab walls. 1t
had taken all her own mothers tact
and diplomacy to compass Elises be
ing where she was Peggy had been
a little worried at first-Elise had so
few social accomplishments, and
though Peggy was kind she hated car
rying dead weight. But, by and by,
when there were evening exhibitions
of drawing-room accomplishments,
Elise had shown such grace, such
lightness. such rhythmic harmony OF
motion as to redeem herself
But she had never yet done the

Mr. Whitney? Is he a friend Of

A soft color came to the babyish
face. "He's-he's the best friend I

Marian's hands pressed hard on the
arms of her chair. The satirical

to keen questioning.

claims that a study of former types
