be very far from tears. For she was full;

be lost on Dartmoor in 0. 511' w storm is
no joke, I can tell you; an, to make
matters worse—if they could be _c
worse—it was now uite dark and .9
wind wasan . All at once
the girl slipped—fell forward—a glimmer
of light flashed before her eyes—and with
a long, sobbing cry, she sank down,
down, into a treacherous snow drift.
Not a. hundred yards own two men
were luxuriously enjoying ,. eir post-
prandial pipes in a small heavily rafter-ed
room, which looked like nothing except
what it was, namely, the principal apart-
mcnt in a tiny shooting bOx, intende'd,t0
all appearance, solely and entirely fer
the use of the sterner sex. A roaring
fire blazed in the yawnin grgte almost
putting to shame the liglifio tlieglamp
which stood on a s 1 table near the
hearth, in company ith some dried
fruits and a bottle of Burgundy.
“By Jove! how cold it is,” said the
elder of the two men, ashe threw an-
other piece of coal on the fire.
“Cold? it’s the very deuce,” shivered
his companion. “Wonder if it still
snows?” he went on, rising and saunter-
ing towards the yet unshuttered window
as he spoke.
He was a tall, fair, good looking fol-
low of perhaps 30, with dark blue, rather
passionate, eyes and sunny air.
“Worse than ever!” he muttered. “I
say, Lance, this looks cheerful. Old
Weilings will be snowed up on the road
if he doesn’t mind,” he added. “He
ought to be back by this time.”
“Horrible contingency,” murmured
the individual addressed as Lance, with
a. lazy smile, as he filled his pipe anew.
“If he doesn’t get back, we are in for the
pleasing exercise of cookin our own din-
ners, making our own be s, and ‘doing
for ourselves’ generally, for an indefinite
time. For I venture to predict that .we
too are safe to be snowed up before the
morning.” He leaned back in his chair
as he spoke, and closed his gray eyes
sleepily, as though the prospect didn’t.
disturb him very much.
He was not a handsome fellow, Lance-
lot Darrell, but he had a kind, stron ,
refined face which somehow invariab y
impelled those about him to trust him
implicitly. This was mainly due, I think,
to a certain indefinable something about
either his eyes or his mouth, I am not
sure which—or perhaps both.
All at once he sat up and said hastily:
“I say, Carruthers, did you hear a.
noise outsido?—a little cry, like a child’s
or a woman’s?”
“NO; can’t say I did,” returned the
other. Then, after listening for a mo-
ment or two, he added, “I hear the wind,
but nothing else.”
Darrell rose and came over to the win-
dow. As he stood, it was noticeable
that he was scarcely so tall as his com-
panion; he was better built, though,
and his general physique was more
powerful. He threw up the sash, and
vainly tried to pierce the gathering
darkness beyond. All was silent'outside,
save for the fltful moan of the fast risin
wind, and the soft intermittent sweep 0
the snow against the window panes.
Suddenly, almost close at hand it seemed,
there came a faint, uncertain little cry.
Both men started, and Darrell went out
into the tiny square hall and opened the
outer door.
“Is any one there?”er called out in his
clear, pleasant voice.
‘ “Oh, come quick, please,” was the an-
swer in sobbing, childish tones.
“A child, by Jove!” ,he muttered,
plunging out into the snowy darkness.
A moment or two later he shouted:
“Show a light here, Gilbert, will you?”
Carruthers did as he was desired, and
stood in the doorway holding the lamp
aloft in amazement.
“What the devil is it?” he exclaimed,
as Darrell, carrying a drenched dagk
bundle in his arms, hurried paSt him into
the house.
“What is it?” Carruthers repeated, fol;
lowing the otherinto the sitting room, '
and setting down the lamp in a. bewild-
ered kind of way. . ‘
“Get the brandy, there’s :a good fel-
low,” was. the only reply, as D. .
placed the bundle, gently On the sofa and
knelt down beside it.
“By J9vcl” ejaculated Gilbert un-
der his breath, as he got dill;
tho brandy, “here’s a nun gonuid~ o
mistake!” For he had caught a brlJ
glimpse of a pale, sweet little face. aid
long tangled hair. Was it dchildi—O'r 'a
woman? .

head. Then she added, ' , 3 her great
dark eyes upon Darrell, “Did "you-Sud
me?” _
‘ “Yes,” he answeged, wiw a kind little
smile. “You must jet is ppéd dovvn
the bank at the end of the nouse.’ We
heard you cry out, and I found you.”
He unfastened and removed her cloak
and hat as she spoke, and hung them to
the fire. while Gilbert wheeled forward
a large easy chair, and stirred the con-Is
into a fiercer blaze.
“Do you feel better now?” said the
latter. '
“I feel very cold,” she answered in a
weak little~ voice. And she shivered.
“My clothes are so wet, you know,” she
added, looking up at him pathetically.
“By Jove, yes, of course, so they are!”
he said in some perplexity. “You must
have them dried in some way.”
“Had I not better try to get home ”
she went on helplessly. “I live near
Tavistock. Am I far from there?”
"Do you feel better now i’”
“We are seven miles from Tavistock,”
said Darrell, who was pulling at his mus-
tache in an absent way he had when dis-
turbed or perplexed—and just now he
was both.
Thegirl rose to her feet with a crv of
~ fact, not very euro-what he in
.and if I don’twhat ‘ ’
dismfiy.‘
“Oh, what shall I do?” she said in a.
terrified voice. “My aunt will be so
dreadfully anxious. Oh, I must get back
to-night.”
“I fear it is impossible,” said Car-
ruthcrs gravely. “It is not only a fear-
fui snow storm oven for Dartm'oor, but
with this wind the snow will drift so
abominably. It is drifting now.”
“Was it not a little imprudent to ven-
ture so far from home in such threaten-
ing weather?” said Darrell, with a half
reproving smile.
“I did not mean to go very far,” she
answered. “I had gone to see a poor
woman who lives on the edge of tho
moor; but I stayed too late, and then the
snow came on worse. than ever. And
then I lost my way. Oh, I must have
walked for miles and miles,” she sighed,
“for I am so tired.”
“Poor little thing,” said Darrell, with
much the same compassionate tenderness
he would have used to a child—and,
indeed, the girl looked little more.
“Your people will be terribly. anxious
about you, I’m afraid,'but it is roally ut-
terly out of the question for 'yOuto 'get to
Tavistock to-night.”
uDo ou mean that I must stay here?”
she sat , looking up at him with eyesin
which there was more than a suspicion
of tears.
, “I’m afraid I do,” hpanswcred kindly.
“AndI am equally afraid that we can
not make things as comfortable for you
as we should like to do. The fact is, we
are two helpless bachelors, with every
prospect of beln doubly helpless for the
old man who ac s as our servant on the
few occasions when we some down here
went to Princetown this forenoon for
supplies, and has evidently found the
roads impassable, as he has not re-
turned.”
“Oh, what will Aunt Priscilla say ”
she murmured in a ngrvous, falterin
little voice. Then, after a. pause, “
ought to tell you. who 1.1m! suppose-
My name is Leslie Heath. My aunt is
Miss CarlyOn. She has taken The Grange
for three years.”
“Carlyon,” said Darre quickly. “I
knew a 'man Cgrlyon in t e —-th lainoers.
Ho was junior majior tenjyears ago.”
“Ah, that must have been my uncle
Jim,” she said, fiushin brightly. “He
has been in India eve' since I' contro-
member.”
“And is it possible that you are Jim
Carlyon’s niece?” ho exclaimed, with so
pleased “I? in his games. “Then
we may a c-st claim acquaintance, Miss
Heath, for he used to be a great chum of
mine out in Simla." '
The girl looked at him with a puzgled
earnestness for a second Or'two. Then
she said gravely: ~
“I think you must be Capt. Darrell,
are you not?"
“Yes,” heanswered, looking .. used.
“M name is Dwell—Lancelot .errell-
An this is my friend and alter ego, Gil-
bert Carmthe'rs.”
“I have sooften heard Aunt Pris ._ .
speak of you,” she said to Darrel], w en
she had bestowed a Sweet little smlle on
Carruthers. “You once saved Uncle
Jim’s life, did on not?” she added, With
an awed infiec On in her voice. -
“Oh, no, hardly that,” .he answered
hastily. '
Hero Cari-others, who had been feel-
ing rather out of it, observed ve'i-y sensi-
bly that if Miss Heath sat much longer
in her wet clothes she would most cér-
tainly catch cold.
“But what am I to do?” she said pit-
cously.
Darrell pulled his mustache again
with a perplexed air.
“You see—er—that ins—well, as this is

ruthers, not very lucid! , “you gory, Of

if it could be managed in any way at all.

“Are you—I mean is there no one here

after-a short pause, twisting her fingers
in an embarrassed kind of way.
“No, no one,” he answered gravel ,

are not afraid of us, are you? You don’t

afraid it is quite inevitable that you

very gently, “be a good, sensible little
woman, and promise to do what I tell
you, for I am horribly exercised in my
mind lest you should take cold. Will
you promise?”

up her mind to the inevitable.

“The deuce! Then what are we to do

“Well—if we can’t get out, I suppose
she can’t get out either.”
“Humphl It's confoundedly awk-
ward.”
“I quite agree with you. It is awk-
war .”
There was a pause; then Carruthers
said:
“Curious that you should know her
people.”
“Yes, it was curious,” replied Darrell,
as he struck a match.
“She secmsa nice little thing,” went
on the other. “Awfully young, too, and
not bad looking.”
Darrell made no reply. He was lying
back in his chair, watching the blue
rings of smoke curl upwards to the rafter
bbund ceiling.
“How do the rations'stand?” he asked
suddenly. , ,
“Phew! I don’t know!” exclaimed
Gilbert, taking his pipe out of his mouth,
and sitting up straight in his chair.
“Now that I. come to think of it, there
can’t be a superabundance, or Wellings
wouldn’t have trudged to Princetown in
the teeth of a coming storm. Oldfooll
. as if he couldn’t have sccn‘to things
sooner,” he muttered, resuming his
former position.
“Well, we must inspect the supplies in
the morning,” said Darrell tranquilly.
“By Jove, how the wind Whistles!”
“Yes, and the snow is up to the ledges
of the windows already,” returned the
other, “at least, it was steadily progress-
ing that way when I opened the back
door. Heaven knows how high it’ll be
before morning.» It’s an,awful pity we
didn‘t go last week, Lance. I knew this
would come.” -
“In which case pooerss Heath would
most certainly have been frozen to
death,” Darrell answered quietly.
Carruthers looked seriOus.
“Ah, yes, I forgot tha ,” he said.
“Poor little girl, yes, of course.”
Meanwhile Leslie Heath, in the
seclusion of her room (or rather,
to speak more correctly, Capt.
Darrell’s room) was inspecting her quan-
tcrs with some curiosity. It was-a good
sized room, quite as large as the sitting
room, uncarpeted, and of severe, almost
military simplicity in its appointments.
It looked very cozy, however, in the
light of the roaring heaped-up fire, which
blazed in the wide grate, and shone
brightly on the bare walls and on the
__bars of the narrow brass bedstead. A
gun case and a battered portmant‘eau, al-
most covered with half efl’aced labels, oc-
cupied one corner of the room, and a
couple of tweed coats, smelling strongly
of tobacco, hung behind the door.
Tired and cold though she was, a wild
desire to scream with laughter took pos
session of the girl as she noted the ar-
rangements made for her comfort. A
large bath was placed immediately in
front of the fire, and beside it stood acan
of steaming hot water. A pile of clean
towels lay on a chair.
“Six—no, seven,” murmured Ieslie,
counting them in much amusement.
On the bed was conspicuously displayed
.“a masculine dressing gown, warm and
. gray and soft. As this lastmet her view,
Leslie abandoned herself to the agonies
of noiseless laughter.
“Poor fellows!" she said half aloud,
“how good of them, and yet—how
funny!” Here she choked again. “Oh,
what would Aunt Priscilla say? How
nice they are—especially Ca t. Darrell.
And howvery strange thatI ould make
hisacquaintance in such an outrageous
way. Old enough to bemy father, he
said. Well, he does not look it. I won-
der how much brandy he putlnt ' ,”
regarding'with much distaste the tum-
bler she had just set down.
She took off her drenched little gown.
and her equally, drenched boots and
stockings, and having put them to dry,
brushed out her hair with an ivory
backed brush on whichan inextricable
silver monogram flourished, baffling all
her efforts to decipher it. Then she bx-
amined a. little pile of books which lay
on the mantelpiece, consisting of a
con 10 of French novels, a railway time
tab e, and a small morocco bound Bible.
011 the fly leaf of this last was written:
“Lancelot ‘E. Darrell, from his loving
mother.” It was his room, then, the
girl thought with a curious sense of sat-
isfnction. - At this point she became
aware that she was feeling rather sleepy;
sosho obeyed Darrell’s' instructions to
the letter, extinguished the candle,
jumped into bed, and in two minute:
was fast asleep.
When she awoke the fire was out, and
the room in darkness; so she promptly
went to sleep again. From this sleep she
was awakened by footsteps passing her
door, and by the sound of subdued

dle, and looked at her watch. It was
twenty minutes to twelve. Surely' it
must be more than that, she thought
in some pcrplexity. . She felt as if
she had been asleep for a long
time. All at once she became
conscious of a strong, pervading odor of
newly made coffee, min led with the ap-
petizing fragrance of fr ed bacon. Was
it possible it couldbcnearly twelve noon?
She drew aside the window blind and
looked out. It was pitch dark. Much
puzzled, she examined the clothes she
had hung to the fire. They felt quite dry.
By this she knew that many hours must
have elapsed. Besides, the room felt so
cold that she also knew the fire must
have been out for some time. Like a

“I say they die both delicious,” said
the girl demuroly. “I do Wish I had

with a rippling little lau .
“There is every proba, ility that you
may see us in that engaging capacity for
some days to come,” Said Darrell rather
ruefully.
. “Some days?’ she echoed, setting down
her cup indlsmay. “Do you mean to say
I can’t go home even today?” '
Instead of answering Darrell pointed
to the window, where the prospect was
black indeed, being simply Egyptian
darkness. *
“Do.you know how far you arefrom
The Grange?” he said then,looklng at her
with amused, kindly eye's. “Quite five
miles. Look how the snow has-drifted
already, and it is still snowing.” '
“0h, Aunt Priscilla Will be quite
' crazy,” said poor Leslie in a despairing
kind'of way. “And what a nuisance I
shall be to you both.”
“Do " you think 80?” said Darrell
gravely, as he took her cup. “That is
ve unkind of you. Have some more
co co?”
“Iet'us take Miss Heath up to the loft
and show her the promising state of the
surrounding country,” suggested Car-
ruthers, when the visitor had resolutely
refused any further nourishment.
“But—the table! It must be cleared,”
she said reprovingly. '
“Oh—er—yes, of course,” he replied
in deubtful tones. “Come on, Darrell!”
“I shall help,” said Miss Heath, who
had thrown care and Aunt Priscilla to
the winds; and was be g to enjoy
herself immensely. “Where is the
kitchen ” she continued, seizing the cof-
fee pot. “You lead the way with the
lamp, please, Mr. Carruthers.”
The kitchen was in a state of indes-
cribable'oonfusipn. Plates, knives,
etc., were. thrown about im 'y on
chairs, table and floor. A cheery fire
was burning, however, and threw an air
of rollicking joviality over the whole

as the speaker invested herself in a large
white apron, which, by the way, was
most becoming.
“Oh. I say, not just now, Miss Heath,”

with combined interest and amusement,
“Now we must have some hot water,”
announced this new autocraf of the
kitchen. “We can’t wash dishes in cold
water, you knowfi’ she proceeded kindly
to explain. , .
“Why not?” Carrathers ventured to
lnghre. - . |
t Miss Heath did not answer. She
was rummaging in a drawer for towels.
She looked quite at home and as busy
and happy as possible- 80 her two 313269

kettle and replenished the fire. - -l
“While it is heating I shall'go upwi
you to the loft,” leslie said then gra-
ciously. “Perhaps it' has left off snOw-
ing. What a dear little house 'it is,” she
exclaimed, as, after a short inspection of
the tiny dwelling—which was all on one
floor, bungalow fashion—they prepared
to climb the‘ladder leading to the loft.
“You are‘ right,” acquiesced Darrell
reflectively, “it is small, and, yes—it is
most certainly dear. Give me your hand,
Miss Heath, and mind your head on that
beam."
“Dear me, daylight comes on one quite
with a shoe ,” said the girl, blinking her
eyes a little. “Oh, oh!” she went'o‘n in
dismayed tones, as she took a bird's eye
view of the surrounding country from
the small sloping skyllgljf, through whose
crevices the snOw w led in m ' .
' “Why, I can see nothing but snow! 0

might snow for weeks. Oh, I shall never

cluded despairingly, all her gay spirits
deserting her. '
“Never is a long day,” Said Darrell en~‘
couragingly. “We will hope for better
things. You had better come down now,
Miss Heath's it is far too cold for you up
here.” , , f .
So they descended to the kitchen

“Then we must gel; the door open, and

After some time, and with- consider;
able difficulty, they got the door
open, and set to work with a will.
Meanwhile Leslie, left to her own de-
vices, put her own room to rights, made
up the fires and explored the larder.
There was plenty of bacon, another cold
lo, and an apple tart, besides a couple
gowls and a fair supply of tinned meats.

They all helped to get the somewhat
heterogeneous evening meal ready, and
when it was over they drew round the
fire in quite a cozy, friendly fashion.
Leslie insisted that her hosts should
smoke their cigars or pipes as usual.
“Just as if I weren’t here, you know,”
she said coaxingly. - ,
It was wonderful how much at home
she felt and looked already. She made
a winsomo little picture enough, as she
sat curled up in a big easy chair brought
by Darrell from the other room for her
benefit. She was not exactly pretty,
that young man decided, as he looked at
her from his dark corner at the other
side of the fireplace—but there was some.-
thing wonderfully lovable and attractive-
about the pale little face with its fluffy
brown hair, and its great dark eyes out
of which the pure-fearless woman’s soul
looked so trustfully. A man might
safely give his heart into the keeping of
such a sweet little wOman, lie reflected
further. Then he pulled himself up
with a start, and frowned slightly at his
own folly.
“I know one thing,” said Carmthers
suddenly, as he stretched himself out in
his: chair, and lit: a fresh cigar—“there's
not a single dish of any kind or descrip-
night.” ~ -’
Leslie laughed; then she grew sud-
denly grave.
“Aunt Priscilla will think I am dead,”
she said, looking meditatively into the
fire. “I do wish I had not ventured out
Both men were silent, for they could not
honestly say they agreed with her. On
the. contrary, I fear that with an utter
disregard for the feelings of poor Aunt
Priscilla, they were rather glad that a.
capricious chance had thrown this win-
some little maiden on their protection.
It seemed curiously natural and familiar
to see her sitting there, to see thefire-
light glinting on her hair, to hear her
childlike laugh. It seemed incredible
that they were unconscious of her very
existence yesterday—only yesterday!
Next; day passed much as its prede-
cessor had done, except t hat the then
worked hard all the morning—clearing
the snow from about the house, while
Leslie attended to the domestic arrange-
ments herself. In the afternoon Car-
ruthers distinguished hims’elfjby concoct-
ing a fearful and wonderful stew for sup-
per, which it appeared he had known
and loved in India. Leslie looked on in
sarcastic disapproval, and Darrell chop-
ped up wood in the back kitchen. Owin ,
however. to a somewhat liberal distri-
bution of cayenne pepper, and the total
absence of any other seasoning, tho stew
was not a marked success, though its
author declared it was “the finest thing
he had tasted fgr‘mzmy along day.”

LANDING A BIG STURGEON.
An Exciting Time with a Fish Nearly as
. Long as a Man.
Recently I was putting In an afternoon at
Petaluma creek, fishing for salmon treat {or
anything else. It is a tide water stream,
emptying into San Pablo bay, and during a
good portion of. the year it is frequented by a
Variety of salt water fishes. The sturgeon is _
a sly biter; and sometimes “months" the bait
ten or fifteen minutes before taking} hold.
011 this occasion I had baited with a small
smelt and thrown into deep water from a
small wharf. The wind was blowing a gale,
so it was hard to tell when one bade bite.
The poles were scattered along the wharf
leaking care of themselves, when one of them
began to act queer. The line would slacken
slowly several inches, then grow taut, the tip
of the pole bending, than the line would
slacken again. It did this for several min-
utes without change, and I could not make
up my mind whether to pull or not. Then
Is almost a. sure indication of a sturgeon.
Quick aspomlble I struck and felt the hook
stick into something distressingly like a. snag,
it. seemed so heavy and sluggish; but you
“can’t most always sometimes tell.”
Slowly something below seemed to wake
up, for all the world like a. locomotive mov-
ing a. heavy train. Then, as it gained head-
way, it got madder and madder, and the reel
bummed louder and louder, until it screamed
like a little fiend. ,Two hundred feet of
line ran out in a few seconds, and then, with
water, three feet of big, drab colored fish
plunged into the air. He was evidently too
big to jump out all at once. Then he started
back up stream, and, in spite of all the strain
I dared put on him, run out nearly every foot
of the line from the reel; My heart was in
my mouth for fear of an accident, but he
stopped just at the right time. This fish
fought like a demon for one hour and a half
actual time, and seemed determined not to
come to golf. .
A Frenchman happened along just then,
and I begged him to use the gafl. He stopped
on a rock near the water’s edge, but the fish
came up, and,-seemingly with malice afore-
thought, with one flap of his tail wet the
kind helper from head to foot. He stepped
up and out as gracefully as posiblo. The
fish-was finally landed and foundto weigh
exactly forty pounds and to measure fifty-
eight Inches in length. While making a.
slower fight than the trout, the sturgeon’s
mad rushes are thrilling and exciting, and I
.believethe most fastidious angler will vote
him a game fish after he has once landed a
big fellow with light tackle.
~ Frequently I have taken them on an eight
ounce split bamboo fly rod, with smallest gut
hook baited with worm. Then their fight is
particularly pleasing, but I would not care
to try one above four feet in length on that
kindof tackle, nsbalf a day is too longto
take in landing one fish—American Angler.
Dickens on Our- Ofnce Seekers.
In 1869, during a visit, never to be for
gotten, paid to Charles Dickens at God’s Hill
Place, the myriad minded novelist, referring,
among other things, to office holding and
office scoldngin this country, said: “On 1120
occasion of my visits to America, my first
visit especially, I saw, when at Washington,
that the members of both houses of congress
regarded the Ofllces of, the government as
their special and individual property. Men
crawled over each other like ants, buifeting
one another, fighting, wrangling, scrambling
for place-all engaged in a. common assault
upon those whom they were seeking todis-
lodge and dispossess, all the time cringing
and truckling to the politicians, who seemed,
by undisputed right, to take control of the
public places and dispense the government’s
substance. .. .
“The brutality and selfishness which marked
the rule of the office mongers was more dis
gusting and offensive to decent man than the
cursed a nation. It was calculated to con-
taminate, pervert, destroy sensitive and deli-
caté minded persons; it was wholly vicious.”
And then, laying his hand upon the unfin-
ished chapters of “The Mystery of Edwin
Drdod,” the great novelist, replying to my
question, said: “It is not thebarnacle system
or the methods of circumlocution that the
people ‘of America Want; not the systems
which try the patience of the people on this
. sidq' of the water and call for a. lash of scor-
. pious, but a. system that willtako places from

A SALESMAN WHO IS A WAG.
How He Traded With One of the Tough-
est Customers of ms Firm.
There is a certain clothing salesman who
represents one of our largest; New York man-
ufacturing concerns. He is one of those me-
thodical men, of quiet and reserved address,
whose sincerity and earnestness of manner
have influenced many big sales. With an
underlying sense of cynicism and a good deal
of awag in udrysortofaway, homey be
recognized when described as one of those
humorous men who never smile. It was dur-
ing his first trip of this. year that ho had in-
vaded the establishment of the most import-
ant dealer in read made clothing of one of
the large interior cities of this state.
This particular merchant is rated one of
the toughest cases in the trade to sell a bill
goods on which any profit shall be left to the
manufacturer. Of course, he would look at
' the line of goods, “but he really was not quite
ready to buy.” Then the sincere and earnest
salesman, with confidence in his line, got in
his finest work, and after a deal of haggling
over the prices, he found he had pegistei'ed on
his memorandum book an order of unexpected
magnitude.
He had closed his book, and with an air of
self satisfaction clapped it into his inside
pocket, when his customer, as if recollecting
something unusual which had escaped his
mind, exclaimed:
“By the way, about terms?"
“Oh, regular, I suppose.”
“No, no; we get seven ofl all around.”
“Seven off ten 7”
“No, indeed, seven of! thirty days.”
"Won,“I suppose it’s got to go,” and the
salesman drew forth his memorandum book
and made a note to that efl'ect.
“Now, about the dating.”
“Well, I had not thought of that. I’ll be
“liberal, however. What do you say to sixty
days?”
“Nonsense, we are getting four months
from everybody.”
“I’m afraid I can’t do it.”
“Cancel the order, then.”
“Very well, then, I’ll have to give it to
you."
And as he jetted this down, with a. sigh, ho
exclaimed: “Besides, you bought these goods
away down at rock bottom.” And then he
added: “When shall I ship you thefirst lot i”
“At once.”
“How do you want them sent?”
“As you please. You know you are to pay
all of the expenses of shipment and cartage.
I always get goods delivered at the door,
charges prepaid. ”
“Now, let me see,” said the salesman, with
an air of frozen imperturbability, as be listed
this final concession, and then contemplated
the aspect of the order upon his book. “I oi»
serve that you have got special prices all
through the line; you want four months dat-
ing; seven Off thirty, and all expenses and
freight charges prepaid. Now I am very anx-
ious to sell you this bill of goods, and I’ll tell
you how we’ll fix it. We willforward you the
goods and invoices and you just send back the
discounts. ”—New York Star.
He Had an Idea.
“Show me the editor, please,” said a seedy
man with a. wild eye as he came on the run
into the sanctum. “Show me the editor.”
“Here I am,” said the city editor; “what’s
up?”
“Well, I read an editorial in your paper
yesterday about the United States in 1989—3
century hence, you know. You spoke of the
difficulty of depicting the state of things in
this country a. hundred years hence. Now, I
have an idea about that, and I came up here
to give it to you.”
“Why, thank you, thank you very much.
This gentleman is a stenographer. Sit right
down, please, and explain your views to him,
and he will take them down, and we will
print them with great pleasure. Sit right
down, please.”
“Well, no, I think I won’t do it now. I
think I will write them up some time and
bring them to you,” he said, backing toward
the door.
“Oh, no,” said the city editor, “please do
not leave. I can’t let any one with an idea
get away. Please sit down at once. We would
be glad to have anything that you have to
say—any idea that occurs to you.”
“Thank you,” he said, “I guess not. I
guess I won't do it today—not today. Thank
you; some other time.”
“Well, but,” said the city editor, “just tell
me, in a word, what you think of the mat;-
tor.”
“Well, I think I have an idea that if noth-
ing happens thiswill be one of the most flour-
ishing countries there is. But I can’t pos-
sibl stay now. Good morning.”
T is is an actual occurrence; and the moral
is that some people think they could make a
newspaper mighty interesting if they had a
chance, who, when they get a. chance, find
that in all the vasty deep of their empty
skulls there is not a single thought—Chicago

The Way to Advertise.
Do not have half of your advertisement:
blow and the balance blaster. Do not allow
two display lines to come together. Have all
the sentences short.
If anything has been proven over and over
again it is that there is no other as efficient a
medium for reaching the general public as
the newspaper. We do not say that this doubt
pervades the ranks of active business men to
any great extent. Evidence to the contrary
is too plentiful and conclusive.
The only proper advertising is news of the
store, and that must be gathered and written
in the spirit in which the store is managed;
but as the first requisite is attention, use all
the resources of the pleasing writer—wit,
story, incident, current events, philosophy,
morals—the morals of the trade. Whatever
you topic, be interesting, true and non-mer-
canary.
The retail dealer who advertises in his local
paper or papers in such a manner as to make
the public believe that the goods which he
offers are worth a great deal more than he
asks for them Will find that many of those
who call at his store will go away without
purchasing, after having looked at the goods,
and that most of them that do purchase will
not continue to purchase {with him—Dry
