"A Rotten Bad Fit."

 To what? Before him in the morning glow the great gray fort rose to crush his hopes. There on those slanting rampaIts she had smiled at his declara- tion-smiled and labeled him foolish. Well, foolish he must have seemed. But there was still hope. If only Allan Harrowby did not return.
 The first man MinOt saw when he re turned 10 the lobby of the De la Pax was Allan Narrowly, his eyes tired with travel, handing over suit case to an eager black boy.
 What was the use? IAstlessly Minot relinQuished his last hope. He fol- lowed Narrowly md touched his arm.
 "Good morning." he said drearily. You gave us all quite turn last night. We thought you'd taken the advice you get in the morning and cleared out for good"
 "Well, hardly" Narrowly replied. "Come up to the room, old man. I'll ex- plain there"
 "Eerore We go Cp," replied Minot, "l want you to get Miss Meyrick on the phone and tell her you've returned. Yes-right away. You sce-last night ] rather misunderstood-I thought you weren't Allan Narrowly after ali-and I'm afraid I gave Miss Meyrick a wrong impression"
 By gad--I should have told her was going" Narrowly replied. But was so rattled, you know He went into booth. Ills briei talk ended, he and Minot entered tho elevator. Once in his suit, Narrowly dropped wearily into a chair. ! "Confound your stupid trains. TV' been travelling for ages. Now, Minot I'll tell you what carried me off.

I'm frightfully fond of Nils! Meyrick, and I want that wedding tt take place tomorrow. Then, too, there'l Jephson. Understand me-Cynthia i not marrying me for my title. I'd stalk my life on that. But there's the fa ther and Aunt Mary-and considerinl the number of times the old gentlemal has forbidden the wedding already"-

How to Say "Venison,"

We have noted methods of cooking venison but how should 1t be pro nounced-as a two CT three syllable word? Most of us pronounce it as if spelt with 6 '.z" and as 1t is derived from the French venatson, this Is as it should be. Shakespeare, it is true, treated it as a trisyllable, and appar- ently regarded the "s" as hard, for in, "As You Like It," the Duke asks, Shall we go kill us vanison T" But this contemporary Chapman made but two sy1lables of fl, and that there might be no doubt as to the pro nouncfation he favored, even spelt it phonetically, thuS-venzon. = London ChronciIe.
