So Uncle Bushrod put on his old
brown suit, got his thick hickory stick
and meandered through the almost
deserted streets Of Weymouthville. BE
entered the bank, unlocking the side
door, and found the passbook where
he had left 1t, In the little back room
used for private consultations, where
he always hung his coat. Looking
about casually he saw that everything
was as he had left, 1t and was about
to start for home when he was brough,
to a standstill by the sudden rattle OF
q key In the front door. Some one
came quickly in, closed the door softly
and entered the counting room through
the door in the iron railing.
That division of the banks space
was connected with the back room by
a narrow passageway, now in deep
darkness.
Uncle Bushrod, firmly gripping his
hickory stick, tiptoed gently up this
passage until he could see the mid
night intruder into the sacred precincts
Of the Weymouth bank. One dim gas
Jet burned there, but even In its neb
ulous light he perceived at once that
the prowler was the banks president

"Ain't" is an improper abbreviatioo
Of "are not" British writer's spell Il

and "is not" as well as for ARE not"
It is unquestionably the worst instance
Of slovenliness In the common speech
Of today.
Yet 1t Is by no means Of universal or
even Of common use. It will slip 0c-
casicnally from refined lips, always
with a Jar to the enunciator as well
as to the hearer. But the habitual
user Of "ain'ts" is careless Of refine.

SaIted Herrinoa.

Centuries ago William Buckets, q
Hollander Of Bierwich, made the then
astonishing discovery that salt would
preserve fish and that salted fish could
be packed and exported. Before his
time herrings had to be consumed
within few days Of their capture.
Buckets salted them. In 1886 William
Buckets salted the first hundred Of
herrings, and, having salted them, he
packed them In barrels. This exercise
Of common sense resulted in a singu.
lar development Of the resources Of the
country. The English fisheries were
not as prominent 500 years ago as
they are now, and Holland had for
time almost monopoly Of a market
which she was able to create and to
supply. Buckets had not to wait 600
years to have his claim to public graf
itude recognized. Charles V. had q
statue erected to the mackerel salter
who became the benefactor Of his
country. Queen Mary Of Hungary,
however, paid him even greater honor.
During her residence In Holland she
discovered his tomb and, seated upon
II, ate a salted herring.

Mystsry Of c piplomat.

OF disappearances most myst .rious
was the case Of BENJAMIN Bathurst,

friend and valet, in post chaise, Perls'
berg, q small posting town In north
Germany, had been reached. Here
Bathurst supped and slept, awaiting
the arrival Of fresh horses. Waking.
he asked were the horses ready and
passed out Of the door to make In
quiries. Eight people saw him 80 out,
but none ever set eyes on him again.
