GRANDMA IS PuzzLED.

Grandma Goose hurried down the drive that led past the farmhouse, crossed the road. and started to walk along the path that led to the river, where old dog Spot had seen her son Big Bill disappear in the afternoon.
 It was already growing dark. The river was half mile away. And there were the eleven children that Grandma had left at home, to await her return. Who was going to care for them?
 Grandma Goose paused I'll never find Big Bill tonight she said to herself. 'I'll go home. And early tomorrow morning I'll go to the riv- CT"
 So she plodded back to the farm yard.
 You haven't caught him so soon ?" old dog Spot parked as he saw Grandma coming back Up the drive.
 "No. It's too late to look for him tonight" she answered, "Fe must have reached the river, if he met with no accident, He went down there to see the wild geese. They're flying south, you know, And often they stop in the bay to rest and feed.'

Why Despair Banishcd Hope As Madgc Listened Unseen.

Well, little one?"
 These words in Harry Underworld voice were the first which came float. ing up to me through the hole in the floor beside my couch.
 l thanked my particular little joss for the forethought which had made me move the couch to tho spot near the radiator, and for Linda's weak ness for drink which had made her use the hole for the eoncealment of her familiar, the flat bottle. and 10 hide the fact of the radiator pipe's acoustic qualities from Grace Draper,
 Hardly daring 10 breathe. and with one hand upon the corner of the ex- quisite hooked rug, ready to throw it back into position at any sign of wakefulness from Linda I strained my ears to catch every syllable from the room below.
 Well :" Grace Draper's voice was as unfriendly and sullen as Harry Underwood's had been mocking.
 Are you acquainted with that be- loved character in fiction, "The Wal rus'?" Mir. Underwood asked with silken suavity. but there was hint of sLeel beneath Tne mockery.
 "oh, can the first act persiflage T" she replied wearily. If you have any thing to say. spill it."
 T was simply going to inform you" he drswled--'that the said walrus spieled mouthfu when he emitted that well-known remark, The time has come For we're about to have a showdown, old precious, you and I, with the cards all nicely laid faces up on the table"

 T neither know nor care what you mean.' she said.
 You will before I'm through with you" he said. his voice suddenly men, acing beneath the drawl. You've double crossed me, and it never has been considered exactly healthy to do that to me-
 "Your Little Game Is Up"
 "I haven't" she began defiantly, but his voice with the sharpness of al whiplash cut short her protest.
 "You brought Madge Graham here. She's here now, Oh, you needn't trouble yourself to think up any lies about it I saw her.
 Now I know you're lying" the girl i retorted, stressing the pronoun.

 I caught my breath at the revela- tion So my own intuition had not been at fault. although I had not thought of Harry Underwood during those hours of suspense in the lm- cuisine. But he was speaking again, slowly, icily, this time.

Letter from Alice Hamilton, Brides.
 maid at the Wedding of Her Sister
 Leslie Hamilton, and John Alden Prescott, 10 Her Friend, Elizabeth
 Stolxley.
 ! Dear. Dear Betty:
 Only when I am the bride herself, and perhaps not even then, will l ever have the thrill that l had as a bridesmaid at my sister Leslie's wed- ding yesterday.
 You see, Betty dear, l had a secret knowledge of blighted life,
 knew that, although Karl Whit ney was standing bravely smiling at the other end of the line of ushers, he had received thrust in his heart from which he would never recover.
 How true it is, how very true it is, that truth is stranger than fiction.
 There stood that splendid young man, much better-looking than the bridegroom, his face pale with emo ton, but with a dauntless courage he held himself erect and only could see that underneath it all he was beipg tortured in 3 way that had never been accomplished by le Spanish Inquisition,
 could not find it in my heart to forgive my sister Leslie had she not, poor darling, been utterly uncon- scious of the depth and breadth and height of the love which Karl Whit ney was even then silently laying at her feet.
 do not think that l shall ever forget. however, the look of grati- tude which came to me from his sad eyes.
 COh. Betty, you never saw in the face of mortal man such wonderful eyes as those of karl's.)
 As Leslie came up to the altar and was met bv John and his best man and the ushers had arranged them selves at the side, had a chance to look across at him and received his thanks for putting the pearls-his pearls, dear Betty--about my sisters neck.
 oh. Betty. you will never believe this. but as Leslie put her hand for ward ot receive the ring. she put her ether hand rather convulsively 10 her throat and caught Karl's pearls.
 Could an9thina ha ma~c drn mat . --nlore tragic: and to think that only 1 and kHrI Whitney knew!
