OUR BOARDERS
ODOOSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGO
E had settled down
to housekeeping in
the town of D ,
where Jack, who
was a lawyer,hoped
to win fame and
fortune.
Our honse was
large and old-fash
ioned,and although
built half a century
ago was still in
good repair. A
broad, well-kept
lawn sloped away to a shaded carriage
drive on the west. On the opposite
side, the flower beds -bloomed bright
and beautiful, a genuine delight to me
from the appearance of the first snow
drop to the last chrysanthemum. A
heart-shaped bed of pansies, purple,
white, velvety black and yellow, looked
out with old-fashioned primness and
dignity from the centre of the front
lawn at the passersby. At the back of
the house were the kitchen garden,
with its trim box hedges, and the old
barn or carriage house, a sorrowful
remnant of better days. The latter
was now unteuai^ted save by a few de
predatory swallows and a family of yel
low-jackets, who had taken up their
abode in the vacant hay loft.
Our family, besides J»ck and my-
self, consisted of two boarders, Mr.
Priuce and Mrs. Fellis and our two
servants. Mr. Prince, who was get
ting on in years, was extremely digni
fied, always dressed in respectable
black; he came and went about the
honse as he pleased- He had been
with us for some time and Jack and I
had become very fond of him. He was
quiet and good-natured, went on oc
casional errands, and never failed each
morning to carry in the mail and lay it
baside Jack’s plate at the breakfast
table.. He had, however, two faults,
which in my eyes were very grave.
He would never wipe his feet before
entering the house».|Uid although I had
admonished him several times for his
lack of thought, I had been unable to
break up his careless habit. His
favorite lounging place was the broad
Turkish couch, with its numerous pil
lows, which occupied one corner of
our cosy library. He would stop in
the doorway, look cautiously about
him, and finding the room tenantless,
would throw himself down among the
pillows; never failing to rest his un
wiped feet upon the prettiest one of
the number.
One day, finding him there, my
wrath ovaxame my courtesy and I un
ceremoniously dragged the pillow
from beneath his feet. My heart
smote me immediately for my harsh
ness as he awoke, left the couch and
walked out of the room without even a
glance in my direction. His wonnded
feelings soon healed, for a day or two
later I found him comfortably en
sconced in his cld place.
Our other boarder was a pretty
youug widow, Mrs. Fellis by name.
Jack bad known her before we were
married, but somehow I never felt
jealous of this acquaintance. She was
gentle and affectionate but excessively
nervous. Her dress was always of
the softest gray. Black she detested,
as it was decidedly uubecoming to her
small figure. She would sit for hours
in a large old easy-chairinthe library,
where she and I spent most*of onr
time. I always fancied that she had
a good voice, though I had never heard
her sing. She had an exasperating
habitof humming a certain monotonous
tune in a low key at all hours of the
day.
Toward Jack and myself she was
friendly and affectionate, though never
demonstrative; bnt when in company
with Mr. Prince she preserved a frigid
dignity, and met all his overtures of
friendship with a cold rebuff. She
had peculiar fancies and queer fond
nesses for odd places. The old barn
was a favorite haunt, and here she
would spend hours at a time, revelling
apparently in its solitude and dilapi
dation. It was untenanted, as I have
said, except for the swallows and
wasps who built their nests beneath
its rotting eaves. Occasionally a tramp
would stray in under cover of dark
ness and claim its hospitality for the
m
night. What Mrs. Fellis fancied in
the place we never knew, but Jack
and I seemed powerlcsa to prevent
her from going there.
It was at the close of a hot Angrst
afternoon. Mrs. Fellis and I sat upon
the broad piazza behind the thick
curtain of woodbine, attempting to
keep cool. It was too warm even for
conversation. I dozed over my book
at one end of the piazza and Mrs. Fel
lis nodded drowsily at the other. Mr.
Prince lay stretched at full
length beneath one of the huge
maples on the lawn. He was in a
bad humor occasioned by the appear
ance of a tramp at the gate half an
hour previous. Mr. Prince was dis
tinctively snobbish. To poorly dressed
people he was barely civil, while
tramps were his special aversion. He
had dispatched this last specimen
with small ceremony, and now lay
panting from his exertions.
The heat was intolerable, not n
breath of air was stirring. The leaves
drooped, dusty aud motionless, and
over all hung that peculiar, ominods
calm which betokens the approach cf
an electrical storm. Boon we heard
mutterings of distant thunder, and in
a few moments the storm burst upon
us. The rain fell in torrents, the
wind roared furiously, and bliuding
flashes of lightning followed each
other with startling rapidity.
At the first sharp peal of thunder,
Mrs. Fellis, whose nerves were never
strong, and were now completely shat
tered, gave one wild glance around,
sprang from the piazza and fled to the
barn. In vain I called to her. Nc
sooner had she disappeared within its
doors than above the howl of the wind
and roar of the thunder came a loud
crash, followed by screams of distress.
The old barn had fallen in. Paral
yzed with fear at the thought of Mrs.
Fellis’a fate, I was about to rush after
her when Mr. Priuce, who had taken
refuge on the piazza when the storm
broke, dashed by me and disappeared
among the ruins. Very carefully he
clambered over loose boards and raft
ers, and in a moment or two reap
peared, carrying the much frightened
but unhurt Mrs. Fellis. He deposit
ed his burden at my feet and once
more returned to the ruins.
Satisfying myself that no harm had
come to the little widow, and quieting
her fears as well as I could, I saw her
safely seated in her favorite armchair,
and throwing on a cloak, the storm
having now abated, I went in search
of Mr. Prince. , I found him furiously
tugging at what seemed to be a bundle
of rags pinned under the falling tim
bers. A few more vigbrous tu
the bundle was' dislodged, an
before us, white^ and trembling
fright, stood the tramp whose apj^
ance early in the afternoon had roused
Mr. Prince’s wrath, and whose
screams of terror we had heard above
the crash of the falling building.
Finding he was nnhnrt, and not liking
the attitude which his rescuer now
assumed toward him, he picked his
way carefully over the debris, and lost
no time in getting clear of the prem
ises.
When Jack returned an hour later
I narrated the stirring event of the
afternoon, proudly telling of Mr.
Prince’s coolness and bravery and
Mrs. Fellis’s narrow escape from a
tragic death. Jack listened with de
lighted interest, and when I had fin
ished caught Mrs. Fellis in his arms,
patted the hero of the hour lovingly
on his shaggy black head, and vowed
that he should have the handsomest
collar the town could produce; for if
ever a dog deserved to bo rewarded
Priuce did, aud if Mrs. Fellis failed to
love and respect him forever after, she
would indeed be an ungrateful cat.

THE WIND AND THE LEAVES.
The wind is
Th« loaves are men—
They are blown along for a little space,
Anti then
A lew emerge and tumble ahead,
Over and over and over again,
In a maddening race.
And here and there
One lodges and clings in a lonesome place,
Until, at last, but a single leal
Whirls onward into the far Somewhere.
And the many leaf-men that are left behind
(lather in elustera here and there.
Aud are w hirled about by the wilful wind,
And, at hist, when the great white quilt is
spread.
And nil is over and done
Then silently He and slowly rot,
Each on the barren little spot
Where 1U troubles were begun.
—Cleveland Leader.
WISE WORDS.
Do good constantly, patiently and
wisely, and you will ntvar have cause
to say that life was not worth living.
Do not esteem too lightly the small
things of life, for the whole universe
of Ood is made up of insignificant
atoms.
Life is rather the state of embryo,
a preparation for life. A man is not
completely born till he has passed
through death.
Work touches the key of endless
activities, opens the infinite, and
stands awe-struck before the im
mensity of what there is to do.
Obstacles which seem to hinder our
course afford the best opportunities
for developing the courage and ac
cumulating the power which we need
to pursue it.
It is the united action of the brain
and the eye that forms the action to
close observation. We must think
about what we see if it is to be a per
manent impression. When the mind
is vacant the eyes are robbed of half
their value.
True piety is of the heart rather
than of pretension. The closest stud
ents of human nature have found that
it is the tragedies and sorrows of life
that are the real tests of religion.
Most anybody will do that which is
profitable. Few are faithful to the:
own shame and loss.
Tyndall once concluded an addre
to the students of a London nniversi
thus: “Take care of yonr healt i
Imagine Hercules as an oarsman in a
rotten boat: What can he do but by
the very force of every stroke expedite
the ruin of his craft? Take care
the timbers of your life boat.” S*
HUMOROUS.
Every man who has been engaged
before, tells his fiancee how glad he is
he discovered his mistake in time.
“You are not friendly with Mrs.
FitzDucats?” “No. I hate the sight
of her. She rented the pew we want
ed in church.”
Dental Student—Sweetheart, before
I start back to college won’t you let
me pull one of your molars, just to
remember you by?
“Harry, is Mrs. Beverly’s draw ing
room furnished artistically?” “Yes,
indeed; a sash and a lace collar on every
chair in the room.”
Miss Ootrox—Jack is up to date.
Her Friend—What do you mean?
Miss Ootrox—Last night he asked me
to be bis Klondike.
First Child—We’ve got a new baby
at our house. Second Child (con
temptuously)—-That's nothing. We’ve
got a new* papa at ours.
Wealthy Girl—Colonel de Biff acts
so like proposing when w e are alone, I
verily believe he is in love. Other
Girl—Perhaps he is in debt.
Don’t be mean enough to think
when your wife becomes unusually af
fectionate that it’s a new dress she
wants. It may be only a hat.
“What is your idea of a strong-
minded woman? ’ “Well, she is a
woman who can look at a photograph
of a baby without saying, ‘Oh !—how
cute!’ ”
“Why is it that Chumpley always
buys another new gun at the opening
of the game season?” “Because the
one he had the year before never killed
anything. ”
Mr. Absentmind—It is pretty’cold
in here. Barber—Yes, sir; it is chilly
this morning. Mr. Absentmind—If
you have no objection I’ll keep on my
hat while you are cutting my hair.
The Cabman—Gimme your bag,
lady, and I’ll put it on top of the cab.
Mrs. Oatcake (as she gets in)—No;
that poor horse of youra has got
enough to pull. I’ll carry it on my
lap.
Boarder (warmly)—Oh, I’m know
ing to the tricks of your trade. Do
you think I have lived in boarding
honses twenty years for nothing?
Landlady (frigidly)—I shouldn’t Be at
all surprised.
Jack—What is the trouble between
Josie and Claude? I bear the engage
ment is broken. Penelope-Yes. Claude
called when she was expecting Clar
ence, and she had on the wrong en
gagement ring.
He—What a homely girl that is,
over in the corner. She—That is my
sister. He—Is it p-possible! Still,
I’m not surprised. You must have
been granted a monopoly of the
beauty that was set apart for your
family.
Collins, the Crook—Here's an ac
count ’f a feller wot took eighty
ounces of gold ont’n one pocket, in
Alasky. Petey, the Pickpocket—I
sh’u’d t’ink de feller he touched
would’ve missed all dat weight out ’f
his clothes.
Wayworn Watson—I feel sorry for
them rich men’s sons that has ex
hausted everything in life, don’t yon?
Perry I’attetic—You bet I do. W’y,
just think of you and me. When
everything else has been tried we can
go and take a bath.
“Charley,” said yonng Mrs. Tor-
kins, “I have made a discovery.” “I
hope it isn’t anythingabout athletics,”
replied her husband, apprehensively.
“It is, though. I now know why na
ture does not put any hair on the
heads of young children. It is to
keep them from becoming football
players too early in life.”
An Innovation in Wild Fowling.
An innovation on the grass mats
used as a blind for wild fowling has
been intrpdnced by a New Yorker at a
point in Georgia where snipe and
waders ore plenty and the beach is
hard and smooth. This is a grass
blind built aronnd a rubber-tired
tricycle in which he sits aud quietly
pedals from point to point where he
has placed stales, calling as he goes.
If birds alight or are seen at a dis
tance, he very slowly drifts down to
.hern, and in this way is reported to
making excellent bags.—New York
