T HERE wan once a r*Jlc of I the glacial ace in Bonton who wan discovered by a hardy explorer from the wllda of Chicago and brought out here to preside over hi* Advertising department. The relic wuu of the female eex. and her icy attitude bad an exceedingly chilly efTect on the gay and hlltlieftome solicitor* whose business it was to get her signature to advertising contracts for their various publication*. "I'll tell you what." said one of the solicitors, who was a most persevering Individual. "I am itound to get an ad vertising contract from that old lady. My reputation depends on It. 1 am going home now to think of a scheme." His fellow solicitors smiled. They had all tried their wiles on the old lady, and all lu vain. But they did not do Justice to the' depth of Intellect pos sessed by the man they laughed at. He went home, eat down and thought and thought. "What?" he asked himself, "are maid en ladies of an uncertain age chiefly Interested in?" For Ave minutes he sat still while the wheels revolved. Then, like an insn'lr atlon, the proper answer to that riddle came into his head. "Maiden ladles of an uncertain age are chiefly interested in ruts." was the way he put it to himself. "I 'will tell her a cat story. "What, if anything, could he expect ed to start a sllglil thaw in the ley at mosphere which surrounds her? "What has such a softening, such a genlaiizing influence as humor? I will tell the old lady a funny cat story." With the problem solved he acquired what he thought was an amusing story altoiit a cat, and thus equipped again sent in ills card to the feminine adver tising manager from Boston. Artfully he steered the conversation into the di rection of felines, and at the proper moment he began his great experiment. "The wife of a frleml of mine who lived in Jersey City." he began, "had *s her dearest pet a handsome tabby which was called Flossy. The tabby lived to a great old age. and linully. In the due course of time, became de funct. This sad event happened in the winter time, and It was therefore Im possible to provide Flossy a fitting sepulchre in the frozen earth. My friend's wife, in her dilemma, appealed to her husband. Every morning on his way to his office in the city my friend crossed from the Jersey shore on the ferry. " 'Wred,' said his wife. 'I am anxious that Flossy shall have a proper burial. I will wrap the remains neatly in a parcel, and when you cross the river this morning you can commit them to the deep.* " 'Certainly,* mid my friend. Tlio parcel was neatly wrapped in brown I paper and lie carried it in one hand when he loft the lionse. While wait- I Ins for the ferryboat to start he pot I Into conversation with a friend, who proved so interesting that when he pot j off the l>oat on the New York side he found that he still had Flossy in his | possession. " 'Oh. never m'nd,* he said to lilm ?elf. Til keep Flossy here at the office, and when I go home to-night i'il take her nlong and drop her into the river.* "Accordingly he dismissed Flossy from his mind entirely and plunged Into his day's work." The advertising solicitor, who was telling the story, was glad to note that by the time he had reached this point In the narrative he had succeeded in getting the close attention not only of the lady from Boston, lmt as well that of the four or live clerks and steno graphers in the room. They had nil quit their work and were listening ????? crly to his story. Already he saw suc cess ahead, and with that as an inspir ation he told the rest of the story with renewed animation and enthusiasm. He looked the old laily from Boston straight in the eye and went on. "When evening came he picked up Flossy, still wrapped in her brown paper shroud, and took a ??a;* from his oftleo down to the ferryboat. At the dock, as it happened, lie met again the friend with whom he had talked dur ing the trip across tin* river in the morning. They exchanged salutations, and. half unconsciously, he noticed I that his friend also carried a brown paper parcel In one hand. "The two men walked Into the cabin and sat down together on the plush covered seats which ran along one side of the room. Between was a vacant seat, on which they laid their respect live bundles. "The talk between them was on the prospects for a rise in Metropolitan stock, a subject on which my friend's friend was especially well posted. And ns m.v friend held an interest of ?pv eral thousand. dollars in the stock. It is easy to understand why he was deeply Interested In what he could learn of its prospects. "At any rate he listened so closely to the story that presently the boat land ed at the dock In .lersc.v City, ami he sat up with a shock <?? remember that lie had again forgotten to decently in ter Flossy. But he picked up his bun dle from the vacant seat and went on home, smiling at the curious train ?>f circumstance* which had resulted In still leaving Flossy on Ills hands, llav. | ing a well developed sense of humor, my friend felt no anger at fate for playing him such a Irick. It waa mere ly a good Joke on himself. That was nil. He would carry Flossy home again | and tell his wife about it. Then, In , the morning, lie would lnakr it his business to nee that the proper rites I and ceremonies were performed." The advertising solicitor was ueartng the point and climax of his story, lie stopped for a moment and looked to see how It was going. Hie lady from Boston was all attention. There was an almost tender, sympathetic look In her eyes. He could see her III imsgln atlon already fixing her name to a large advertising contract. The sten ographers and clerks la the room still sat motionless, drinking In every wor which fell from his month. "My friend walked on home, with h* brown paper parcel In his hand. HA wife met him at the door. M 'I've brought Flossy bark.' he said. 'I forgot nbout dropping her into the river, both going over and coming back.* "Then he went on and told her in de tail the story or the day's misadven tures. " *Oh. never mind.* said bis wife, with a half *lgh. *lt ooesn't make any difference. To-morrow morning wltf do just exactly oh well.* . **8lie took the parcel from bis hands. " ?Beside*/ she went on. 'I'm glad t? have a chance to take another look at poor Flossy.* -With a preliminary sigh she un wrapped the parcel. It contained tw< pounds of beefsteak!" The advertising solicitor stopped. Il< was all through. Nothing happened The cold sweat came out lu great drop* on hi* forehead. Was such a thins possible? He stole a terrified glance nrounl the room. Several of the stenograph ers were giggling in their haudker chiefs, lie glanced at the lady front Boston. She was looking at him ex pectantly. The sympathetic flush 01 her checks was possibly a llttie deeper Finally she spoke. "And what became of the poor eat?' she said.? Chicago Tribune. BiPEO HOGS. Some ?
