BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
It was an exceedingly small dog. but
Its ferocity was almost alarming. As
Wlstrom passed the bouse with the
stone front it darted out from the side
passageway in a perfect fury of angry
excitement and pursued him with paroxysmal
barkings the entire length of
the low fence that separatel the lawn
from the street. A day or two later
the same thing occurred. This time
Wlstrom made a threatening demonstration
with his umbrella. It was an
unwise thing to do, for it did not bavs
a soothing effect on the little animal,
which from that time forth seemed to
lie in wait for the young man, who
llred only a few doors away. The moment
he came in sight that brown,
hairy streak would shoot from the
passage, leap at him, all but scaling
the tiny pickets, and raise such a
clamor of hatred that it seemed the
whole street must be alarmed. Wlstrom
became more and more resentful.
The dog got on his nerves.
One morning as Wistrom started out
he noticed that the front gate of the
house with the stone front had been
left open. He gripped his umbrella
tightly and took a deep breath us he
heard the preliminary yelp of defiance
at the passage entry. The next moment
the dog was at the fence and the
next he had discovered the open gate
and was out on the sidewalk at WIstrom's
heels. Wistrom stopped. The
dog retreated, still barking furiously;
he went on and the dog was again yapping
at his heels. Then, without turning,
Wistrom brought his umbrella
around with vicious force and?oh,
Joy I?caught the dog on the ribs.
m
"Oh, you coward!"
It was a clear, youthful feminine
voice. Wistrom looked up as the
house door slammed and a girl with
very pink cheeks and abundant yellow
hair?a very pretty girl?came running
down the steps and caught up the
howling dog In her arms.
"How could you be so cruel as to
hit a poor little dog like that?" she demanded,
turning an Indignant pair of
very blue eyes on Wistrom.
"I?I didn't exactly mean to hit him
so hard," lied Wistrom in some confusion.
"You see?"
But the girl turned her back on him
contemptuously and ran up the steps
and Into the house, carrying her pet
with her.
It was a remarkable thing, but Wis
trom Instantly regretted hitting the
dog.
I All day long he thought of the girl
i with the blue eyes and yellow hair and
the more he thought of her the mere
! poignant became his regret After all,
on eminent authority, It was the nature
and delight of dogs to bark and
bite and why should they be struck'
with an umbrella for following a purely
natural Impulse?
For weeks Wistrom looked In vain at
the house as he passed for soine sign
of the pretty girl. He did not even see
the dog. On Sundays, when he was at
home all day, he did nothing but sit
by the window watching to see her.
Some time soon, he thought, the chance
would come, and then?
It came at last, that chance. Wistrom
was walking down an obscure
street one afternoon when he saw a
forlorn and mud-caked little dog that
nan DlUTCUUg IIL1U Wllllllllg aiBCODSOlutely
In the shelter of a doorway.
There was something familiar about
vthe dog. Wlstrom thought, and he
stopped to look at it more attentively.
Yes, it was certainly the dog. If there
had been any doubt about it the way
he snarled and snapped when Wlstrom
stopped to pick him up would have instantly
dispelled It. Undoubtedly the
dog had strayed away.
Well, muddy and wet as he was,
WlBtrom stowed him underneath his
coat, to the coat's and a white waistcoat's
ruin, and half an hour later he
was ringing the bell of the house with
the stone front. An elderly woman answered
the ring and went Into ecstasies
of delight at the sight of the dog. It
was quite a touching reunion. She?
the elderly lady?was most grateful to
Wlstrom, too, and so pleased to learn
that he was a neighbor. The poor dog,
she explained, had been confined to the
house in consequence of a ruffianly
young hoodlum having abused him,
and so being let out for exercise had
I scampered off.
Wlstrom coughed behind his hand.
"Your daughter will no doubt be glad
to see her pet uguin," he said, politely.
"My daughter?"
I "I?er?supposed the young lady to
be your daughter," said Wlstrom. "A
rather tall young lady, with blue
eyes?"
"Oh." said the lady of tbe house,
"that was my niece, who was making
me a visit a few weeks ago. She went
back to Dubuque and was married last
Thursday. A lovely girl!"
Rags was growling at his rescuer.
And the next morning as Wlstrom
passed he ran out and harked at him
as savagely as ever.
Boy, Fetch Us Bartlett!

BROUGHT TOGETHER BY WAR
Fronoh and English Fraternixa aa
They Have Not Done fer Mora
Than a Century.
Some months ago an old man
called at the French embassy and
asked to see the ambassador. M
Cambon saw him, and the. man produced
a little square of old red silk,
He explained that this was part oi
a tricolor flag captured at Waterloc
by a party of soldiers which included
his grandfather. They had cml
up the flag, and this piece had been
treasured in the family ever sinoe
The old man felt that he could nc
longer keep it, and wished to hanc
it baok to our friends the French.
Another gift at the embassy waf
.no less curious. A visitor called
carrying a heavy, flat case. H<
opened it in the presence of the ambassador
and showed a fine picture
by Greuze, which he asked the ambassador
to receive as a gift t<
France. The donor said that it hac
been in his family for some time
and he wanted now to present it tc
France for a French museum, or t<
be sold for the French hospita
funds, or anything they wished. Hi
refused to give his name, and lefl
no clue to his identity but the picture.?Manchester

PROBLEM SOLVED AT ONCE
No Need for Boss to Devote Mucl
Thouoht tn th? PIm
by Old Employee.
The conversation in the lobby oi
a Washington hotel, the other evening,
turned to the solution of difficult
problems, when this little anecdote
was recalled by Congressmar
James R. Mann of Illinois:
One afternoon an esteemed citizen,
who was employed in a big mercantile
house, sought his way to th<
private office, and gently bulged into
the presence of the boss.
"Mr. Smith," said the employee
in response to the interrogative lool
of the other, "I came to speak to yot
about my salary."
"Your salary!" quickly interposec
the boss. "What is the matter witl
your salary ?"
"It is just this way, Mr. Smith,'
the employee started to explain. "1
cannot save half as much on wha
yon are giving me today as I did 01
what you gave me five years ago, anc
I thought? "
"I see! I see!" cheerfully inter
posed the boss. "We can easily fu
that. Suppose we give you what w<
gave you five years ago?"?Philadel
phia Evening Telegraph.
DRINK MUCH CHAMPAGNE.
Twenty thousand dollars a day an
spent in New York for champagne
This is not a guess but a carefull]
prepared estimate based on figurei
furnished by the big liquor and im
porting houses. Before the Civi
war gentlemen served carefully pre
served and personally cared-fo:
wines, but with the mad rush fo:
precedence that followed the Civi
war and the forced nomadic propen
sities of succeeding generations, i
became impossible to keep wine foi
ten or twenty years before beinj
served. That is the real reason whj
champagne is the fashionable drinl
today.
UNWILLING TO EXCHANGE.
"Oh, mother!" exclaimed a littli
girl, as she ran in the house afte:
school. "Get all your trash ready
for the city is going to have free de
livery during cleanup week."
"Well," replied mother decisively
"I hope they don't bring us any, an<
I am sure no one else wants ours."

OF TROUBLE.
"What was all that gasolin

ONE EXCEPTION.
"I have often been struck with th

"Have you ever been struck b

OFTEN TRUE.
"Father, what is the difference b?
