'Oh. this is a day of surprlsee.

come to think of it. I'm going to
have a surprisingly pleamnt birth-
day."
"You are." J. Augustus Redell
promised him darkly. He stood up.
"Gentlemen. I am requested by the
president of the San Francisco Com-
mereial club, of which we are all
members. to solicit from you sub-
scriptions to the .Japanese Relief
fund. Inasmuch as Cappy Ricks is
the president of the Bilgewater

tender-hearted mmaritans have
handed in your checks to Gus Red-
cll. I’ll add them up and my sub-
scription will be double the total
combi’ed subscription. "
Seeing that he was about to be
tagged out at first. the Jovial Redell
conformed to Cappy‘s suggestion and
as a result. Cappy' s birthday lunch-
eon cost him five thousand dollars
additional.

“You should have known the dos-
con‘s poor wife. She had mended
that suit and patched it and relaid
the trainers and turned the dratied
thing inside out until there wasn't a
shred of the original matatal left
and the neighbors used to send over
and ask Mrs. Weatherby if they
could borrow her husband to scare
crows out of their cornfields. As a.
matter of fact. I believe that with
the deacon originated the old Joke
that not only did the crows refuse to
steal the deacon's corn when he was
out in his own fields. but he fright-
ened them so badly that those crows
that had already stolen corn from
him brought it back:
ELL» one day the deacon
drove to town from his
farm and some of the gen-
tlemen of leisure. who
used to hang around the livery
stable. inveigled him into a game of
casino. From time to time they
helped him to a noggin of hard
older and for the first time in his
life he got generous. He remember-
cd it was his wife's birthday and he
decided to give her a present and
surprise her. So he went to the gen-
eral store. bought himself a brand
new outfit of clothes. from socas to
hat. tied them up in a bund! and
stowed the bundle in his buckhoard.
“It was late at night when the
deacon started home and the first
snow of the season was beginning to
fall. But the deacon was warm in-

thought of the surprise he was 3.).

“However. he surprised his wife.
