The Sermon Hit Him.
A colored preacher was vehe
mentlv denouncing the sins of
his congregation. "Bredern an*
sistern, Ah warns yo, 'gainst de
heinous sin ob shooten* craps
Au charges yo' de black rascality
ob liflin' pullets. But above
else, bredern and sistern. Ah demolishes
yo' gainst crime ob
melon stealin."
A brother in a Wck seat made
an odd sound with his lips, rose
and snapped his fingers. Then
he sat down again with an abash
ud look .
"Whuffo, mah fren," said the
parson sternly, "does yo' rar up
an snap fingahs when Ah
speeks ob melon stealin'?"
"Yo just reminds me, pahson,"
the man in the back seat answered
meekly, "wha Ah lef'
mah knife."

A dozen motor cars waited at Rosebush
station for the arrival of the 6:30
train from town.
Marjorie Stone sat at the steering
wheel of her own little runabout
waiting for her father. A train whistled
and presently the air vibia*ed
with sound as it thundered into the
station. Immediately there was a
chorus of shouts as a man jumped
from the train and ran aoross the platform.
"Qtnn him 1.1 ~ I >
MWJ/ UlUi OWy UlUAi
The fugitive darted around the
building, fairly hurled himself into
the tonneau of the Stone car and
crouched in the bottom.
"Start ofT anywhere! I'll explain as
oon as we're on the way!" he begged.
For answer Marjorie pulled the
starting lever and the beautiful big
car glided away from the platform
just as the pursuers panted around
the building.
In a moment the big machine purred
swiftly away from the depot and disappeared
around the bend of Bushy
road.
When they were ten mlleB from the
station the man raised himself and
stepped over the seat to sit beside
Marjorie.
For the first time she took a good
look at him and noted that he was
young In spite of the gray hair that
edged his temples. He was well
dressed, but his clothing was covered
with dust.
"Why did you save me?" he asked
abruptly.
i Deueve it was your gray nair,"
confessed Marjorle, with a swift
glance in his direction. "I thought
you were old, aud I?I do pity old
people."
"I feel old enough today!" muttered
the man.
"You are in trouble?" she asked,
softly.
He nodded. "It seems there was
some trouble in Benton?the large
town beyond here. I was there on
business for my firm when I received
a telegram saying that my father was
dying in Albany. I sprinted for the
railroad station in order to catch the
express. The whole town was out
Chasing a bold thief who had been
working in daylight. I crossed his
trail and they thought I was the man,
and I couldn't persuade them to the
contrary. So I shook them off and
I held 'em off with my revolver until
they reached here. I saw you sitting
there and jumped in, and you know
the rest!"
"And you want to go to Albany?"
asked Marjorle without questioning
his statement.
U> I ? 11- r
"We ^are the Central railway,"^
which will take you to Poughkeep- *
ie," she aald. "We can reach there j
In time for the 7:30?and I do hope j
you will reach there in time."
"You are good," he aald with deep
feeling.
In a few minutes they drew up at ;
the Central depot and she watched j
him board the train and answered :
the wave of his hnyd with a fluttering
handkerchief until the rear car
disappeared in the woods.
Then she drove swiftly back to the
station, to find that her father had '
arrived and was waiting. As they .
drove home in the twilight she told
him the story of the fugitive and how
she had helped him to escane.
Mr. Stone laughed skeptically and
shook his head.
"Oh, my romantic daughter!" ho ;
teased her. j
Marjorie blushed divinely. "If you :
had seen his eyes, daddy, you would i
never have doubted him," she pro
tested.
The next evenirrg he showed her
the newspaper he had brought from
town. In it was a full account of the
Benton burglary and a picture of the
thief, who had been caught.
"Daddy, It's not my passenger!"
cried Marjorie; "so he did tell the
truth, after all."
Several weeks later Marjorie
waited once more at Rosebush station
for bcr father's arrival from
town.
When the train cam? In Mr. Stone
was accompanied by a man whose
fo :n was familiar to Marjorie.
Ir wan her fugitive!
Tawny e; os ar.d violet ones met
in a glad g ance and then the man's
hand went oei in greeting as Mr.
Btone introduced him.
"Marjorie this la a son of my old
friend, Arthur Gray. Gray died in
A1 any a short time ago?and you
will be glad to hear that you helped
young Arthur to reach his father in
time to bid him farewell."
"Thanks to you," said Arthur.
Marjorie said she was glad, and
then she became suddenly very shy,
30 that the two men were compelled
to talk to eaoh other as the big car
whirled them toward home.
That was the beginning of many
rides for Marjorie and Arthur Gray,
ind with each return of her strange
passenger be appeared to grow
younger.
At last they took one Important
ride together, and when they returned
Vfarjorle wore a magic ring on the
third Anger of her left hand, and
loth wore a look of unmistakable joy
n their faces.

*;j: By HARMONY WELLER. I;!
The room was so dense with smoke
that the twelve heads surrounding
the dining table seemed to waver
over the damask like .so many ghosts
of bachelors. One of the twelve was
soon to take upon himself the yoke
of matrimony, and this was his farewell
dinner.
Out of the smoke the voice of the
Honorable Bobs continued the trend
of an argument on social questions
started by Major Graham.
"And I say that there is work for
every man right here In this city?
if employment is really desired."
"Since you are such a wonder,'*
chipped In Lord Henry, "let's see the
kind of a mess you will get yourself
Intn hv trvlnor ? aw???
M?w WJ v? J lug ivi OCVU1 c V11C Ul 111CDO
many positions." Having turned the
conversation into a lighter vein as
was Lord Henry's wont he took
greater Interest. "I'll bet you the
lateBt thing in aircraft that you
can't support yourself by your own
labor for three weeks."
"It's a go!" Honorable Bobs then
reached across the table and he and
Lord Henry clasped hands.
Honorable Bobs remained quite
undisturbed. That he was going to
win that biplane and show some people
that there was work for willing
men was shown In the delightfully
steely expression In his blue eyes.
So patriotic was Honorable Bobs that
the first months of the war saw him
back from the front with an arm so
shattered as to disable him for a second
trip to the trenches.
The result of Major Graham's bachelor
dinner was that Honorable Robert
Ingraham accepted a post as a
kind of butler in a refined and quiet
boarding house in Holland park. His
wounded arm, his peculiarly attractive
manner and his evident desire for the

the lady to whom he made application.
Things ran on smoothly until the
advent of Leona Martin. Leona was
the most dainty of American girls.
She had come to the boarding house
to live for a few weeks before returning
to her home.
The first morning that Honorable
Bobs knocked at her door with
her cup of tea, Leona felt aggrieved
that she must leave her cozy bed and
unlock the door. It was a cold, morning
in January and Leona shivered as
she slipped into her pink kimono.
"Your tea, miss," said Honorable
Bobs, and put the cup into the
girl's hand. He could not remember
having seen anyone who seemed so
naturally born to rob a man of his
liberty as did Leona Martin as she
?ioou mere in ner pms Kimono ana
pftftiih 0 sa>J!o u^haskf on h?r 1 Ipm.
Honorable Bobs began to (eel that
he wished he had never seen Lord
Henry nor any of the major's friends
who were responsible for his present
position. However, he was a sport
in every sense of the word and continued
to take tea to sleepy boarders,
stand behind their chairs at dinner
and open the door like any fullfledged
butler.
Leona talked, with American freedom,
to him. When she found out he
had been fighting her sympathy was
wonderful, and Honorable Bobs was
guilty of conversing longer than he
had any right to as a servant in the
house. If his blue blood flowed even
under the butler's uniform and if Leona
blushed when his eyes looked
straight into her own, no one was the
wiser. Leona marveled at the blue
blood, but remembered that all good
Kngllsh servants possessed refinement
and beautiful voices.
It did not occur to the American
girl until after he had left the house,
that her interest was other than sympathetic.
When she knew that the
butler had taken away her heart with
him she shrank from the knowledge,
l.llt n-lt V, -i

to fight his delightful image from her
mind.
The further result of Major Graham's
bachelor dinner was the meeting
again of Leona and Hon. Robert
Ingraham.
Leona, standing beside her hostess
at a great dance in the Long Island
home, started violentlv onH
went straight into the air.
"And who," she asked with tilted
nose, "is the gentleman next to
Dickey?"
"That," said Mrs. Chutney, "is the
adorable British hero whom I have
selected an a befitting ir.ato for my
loveliest American bud. He is Hon
Robert Icf raham. commonly kno\ n
as Honorable Bobs."
"Humph!" Leona was guilty of a
sniff.
When explanations had been made
it was Leona herself who made a
quick way back to Mrs. Chutney.
"Please don't, fling your loveliest
bud at his head." she said, plaintively.
"Men are so susceptible."
"I am sorry," her hostess told her
with a short laugh, "but I have already
introduced them. Run along
hack to him."
Honorable Bobs was waiting impatiently.
The loveliest bud smiled.
