Whether he found It or not, he cleared IiIm throut aud begun: "My dear Miss Blank." Margaret wulted, for Mr. Whltmuu had stopped. "I .suppo.se It's a little unuHiiul to huve a letter of this kind typewrit ten," bo explained, "but the lady Id a very sensible person and mutter of fact enough to see no reason why a proposal of murrlage should be auy different from uuy other business proposition." "Do you think murrluge Is a busi ness proposition?" she asked. "Y??h, certainly It Is. What else is It but for two contracting parttaei to enter Into a partnership where each puts in capital of some sort to help the firm along?" "Since you put it that way tt is," said Margaret. Then she added, "But It isn't exactly my idea of matri mony." He eyed her shurply. "Isn't it?" "Shall I go on with 'the dictation?" was her ouly comment, "Yes, please. My dear Miss Blank? I have been very closely associated with you now for seterul years and* in that time I huve assured myself that you are possessed of all the admirable characteristics thut make an ideal wife. On the other haud, I flatter my self that the things I have to offer the woman who consents to be' my life compnnion are not to be despised, And I hope you will look favorably on my suit, for I Entertain a deep affection for you. Miss Blauk, and hereby hum bly offer you my heart and hand, whlrly ^f fljocwreiy hope you will aO? cept. I am yours most cordially, "JAMBfcf WHITMAN." Ajmle pink flush had mounted Mar garet's cheeks and. there was a pecu liar twltchlng"Of the mouth that slit could not control. Mr. Whitman's keen eye caught her perturbation and he re? Joiced Inwardly at the result of his missive upon his usually unemotional stenographer. "Copy it off for me right away, then, please, and I'll mail it on my wfcjr home." And her employer, looking out of the window and seeing his ear ut the eurb, retired to wash off some of the office griiQa before leaving. The door of the outer office buret open' arid a youug juan rushed In. "Hello, Margie, Where's the boss?** "Sh I He'll be back in a minute. Bob. I've something rich to tell you. Mercy f-* You mustn't do that, hero." For Bob had tiptoe?} over, tilted back her head and kissed her boldly cn the Hps, "Here and anywhere, dear old girl I rSay, Marg, I've come to see about a| raise. The. old man's got to hand it over, that's all. I've Just about come to the conclusion that I'm not going to wait any longer." "Sh !" admonished Margaret ngatn as a footstep sounded outside. "Mr. Whitman," began Bob, nerv ously, his courage suddenly oozing at the sight of the heavy-set face of his employer, "I came to see ' if you couldn't give ta4 u little more money. You see, I've been here five years and 1 think my services are worth more now than they here at first, don't you !"' "No, I don't. Office clerks are ns tbick as crab apples. I can got one for half your salary tomorrow morning." This was a facer. Bob tried n new tack. "But I was thinking of getting married, Mr. Whitman. Dou't yuu think a,, married man is steadier and worth more to you than a single one! I'd certainly like to have a boost, Mr. Whitman! I've got a dandy uiee girl !" The trick worked. The other, tfc! lik ing of his own venture upon the same sen, nnd not in the least doubtful us no he outcome, cast a benevolent < yo on the young man and looked over at his stenographer's bent head. "Why, maybe you're right, Mr. Service. A married map Is worth more. Ail right ? you're getting eighty, we'll ntfake It a hundred. How's that?" "Bully for you!" beamed Bob. "Thank you very much, indeed, Mr. Whitman. Won't^ you- congratulate me? Miss Hemphill has consented to be my wife and, thanks to you. w* can get married now without further delay." Margaret turned around smiling, but Mr. Whitman's expression caused her to spring up suddenly in alarm. "Are you sick?" she asked^ "Boh, some water, quick !?* But Mr. Whitman wared them weak ly aside as the color slowly returned to his face, "I congratulate yon both," he said.

Then 1 fe|t, that the humous must dig It out. l went to one n our own town. Ills name was Mellaril* and he was uot only a good surgeon hut a thorough gentleman. lie found the bullet and extracted It without any difficulty. " '1 have been told.' said the sin goon, 'that you killed seventeen of the enemy with your "own hands nt that battle. I don't blamo you for feellny rather proud of that record.' " 'Hut It was only eleven. suh, and not seventeen.' " *1 have it on good authority, colo ne l that tho number was seventeen.* ? This led to high words, and 1 de manded satisfaction, y> which tho sur geon replied: "?VWlllnglt. colonel, willingly. 1 shall esteem It a high honor to cross blades with you.' ??Well he whs a cool hand, suau enough.' it looked as If he had Intend ed to pick a quarrel with me. I scni a friend to him. and a duel was quick ly arranged, lie had the choice of the weapons, and he chose rapiers. That suited me all right. The bullet had been taken from my left shoulder, and nothing ailed my right / "We had to go about two miles to find a spot where the affair could be brought off. It was within 300 feel of a farmhouse, and the grove which hid us from the highway was an open one The farmer was in a distant field at work, and his wife seemed to have gone away for tho day in the gardens surrounding the house were half a dozen hives of bees, and Just over the fence from them was a pas ture in which five or six mules were grazing. As we were on the other side of the garden no onft knew what took place until after things hod happened The farco. therefore, took tis by sur P -Now suh. here Is what happened on the other side of the house as a negro afterward described It to us: One of the mules leaned against the fence to rub his itching hide. The fence was old and weak, and a section of It was pushed down. The mule that did it led the way luto the gar den. and the others followed him. They did not find much to eat there, and they began inspecting the bee Jdves. ? One of them got a sting on the npsc. and he wheeled and kicked the hive over. Of co'se there was a row on at once. A thousand bees, mo' or I less, came flying out, and they made it very unhappy for the mules, f*' '"There was no fence on our side of the house, and the mules came gallop lug in our direction. There were bees ahead of them, bees clinging to them and more bees in chase. Refo we could understand what had happened the ?mules and bees were among ns. Principals aud seconds were treated alike. Kach had a score or more of the Insects in personal attention upon him. There was nothing to do but run befo' the storm. ? "To our left and forty rods away was a field of growing cotton. The stalks were high and offered us a chance to brush the insects away. The four of us and the surgeon in attend ance all started for this field. I think. SUh. we destroyed about half an acre of cotton and tho mules about twice as much. I remember that it cost, us $20 to settle with the farmer and that he had no mo' use of any of the mules , for a month to come. ??When we finally climbed the fence and got back to the spot on which we bad been standing when the riot com menced. my antagonist and myself were so blind that we could scarcely see to pick up our rapiers. Our sec onds were still worse off. I did not look for the duel to be resumed, but the doctor was hot for it .* ?? ?Colonel Bunker.' he said, *you 1m pugnod my honah. You denied, suh. In the face of my assertion that you killed seventeen men at the battle of Chatitllly. and this affair must go on to its legitimate end.' M 'But 1 only killed eleven. Hah,' 1 re plied. '1 counted them as they fell and put the number down in my notebook befo* 1 left the spot.' ** Then, colonel, you have that note book still 7* " 'I liave. suh.' 7 ?? 'And you can show it to me as proof that you were right nnd I was wrong V "-?Most certainly, doctor.' ** Then I withdraw what seemed to fee an imputation on your honah, and If JOU will stop at my office on the way home we will pick the stingers out of j each other as well as we can and shako ! hands and be good friends.' "And thus, snh, concluded our af fair, though we were both badly pun ished by the bees. A year later I was his second in an affair of honah with another gentleman, and he run that gentleman through the body befo' the Jlght waa a minute old. He handled ~j his rapier as I bad seldom seen it han dled. and, perhaps, the bees and the mnlea came just In time to save my Hi? t*-r. i*- . * 1 WASHER'S TWO WIVfS. f Ami ?wa?atts Other to Rvtriiiin It. .'; "; In tbe caae of Wagner wo ttud fe OMile indueuce exerting strong power tn ioroe of bis composition*.

In attempting to pump water from a very deep well near Florence bo found that In spite of all bis efforts tbe liquid would not rise bibber in the pump stock than thirty-two feet This feet the young scientist to think ing, and as be could not. account for the phenomenon In any other way he wap not slow in attributing It to atmos pheric pressure. He argued that water would rtse in a vacuum tffily to such a height as would render the downward pressure or weight of the column of water just equal to the atmospheric pressure and. further, that should a heavier Ouid be used the height of tbe column could be much reduced. To prove this he selected a glass tube four feet long and after sealing one end tilled it with mercury and then In verted it in a basin containing a quan tity of the same peculiar liquid. The column In the tube quickly fell to a height of nearly thirty inches above tho mercury in the basin, leaving in tbe top of the tube a vacuum which is the most perfect that has ever been obtained and which is to this day call ed the Torrlcelli vacuum in honor of its discoverer. Tbe name of tbe instrument means "weight or pressure measure," and Its fundamental principles cannot bo bet ter illustrated than by tho above de scribed experiment. ? , Two young burglars carried off a 200-pound safe containing $200 in cash from a restaurant in Charleston Tues day morning hut failed to break it o)K>n.
