TRAGEDY OF A WIND! By GEORGE I. PALMER. "Look, Margaret!" said the girl In the toque, sitting up suddenly and, taring intently across the crowded waiting room. "Look at that man? the one Just getting into the elevator! ivs too late, nee gone. She sank back into her seat. "If: he hadn't got away so quickly I 6hould have rushed up to him and asked him to please pull my hair," she remarked I pensively. Her companion looked exasperated. "Helen, you do say the most ridicuJcus things! Will you kindly tell dip why you should want to rush up to any man and ask him to pull your | hair?" The girl in the toque giggled. "Why, yes, I was just going to tell you," she replied. "You know two years ago last sum- j mer, after I had typhoid and had to | have my hair cut off. I went up to a farm in Wisconsin to stay a month." j "I know you stayed only a week." | "That's part of my story. One day j when I had been up there nearly a week I started out for a long walk In i the woods, in the course of my wan-' derings I came to a lovely little lake | with the most beautiful pond lilies; floating on it. There was a canoe drawn up on the beach at one end ' and a little boat house among the trees?" "When does the man come In?" "All In good time, my dear. I'm leading up to him. I looked all around for somebody the canoe might belon? to. and then I decided to bor- i row it for a few minutes and paddle over and get some lilies, trusting to luck that the owner would be kind enough to stay away until I got back." "Nice, high principled thing to do." "I paddled over to the lilies and was having a beautiful time gathering a great bunch of them, when I discovered that the paddle was floating around In the water Just out of reach. I leaned over as far as I darpd, and , was clawing for it, when I heard a shout from the shore. A man was gesticulating and gyrating on the beach. 'Hey, look out!' he yelled. v "Wait till I row out and get it!' "He dashed into the boat house and brought out a rowboat. He rowed over and pushed the paddle within my reach, and I paddled back with him in my wake, feeling the way I need to when I tried to play hooky | nd got caugnt? "And what has all this got to do with hair pulling ?" asked the other young woman restlessly. "Oh, I'm coming to that After he had helped me out of his canoe and dragged the lilies out, we looked at each other and laughed. He had the most delightful laugh and dark blue eyes and broad shoulders. And then he wanted to know if he couldn't carry the lilies home for me, and the first thing I knew we were wandering along through the woods and having a beautiful time." "You didn't think of asking his same or where he came from before you went strolling through the coun try with him, I suppose?" suggested the girl who was doing the listening. "Well, everything went along delightfully," proceeded the girl with the toque, "until just as we reached the farm house where I was staying. Then a nasty little gust of wind came up?there hadn't been a breath of air stirring all day?and blew my hat -off. And, my dear, it took my wig with it! You know I had to wear one because I didn't have any hair, and there I stood looking like a sheared sheep." "He certainly must have known how it was." i aon i Know w uai ne Knew or what he thought, for the minute he brought my hat back I flew into the house and the next day I skipped the country and came back home. I was afraid I would see him again. Now yon know why I want to have him pull my hair. "Oh, Margaret, here he comes back again, right toward?look, the tall one with the gray overcoat!" "That man! Why, that's Sidney Hollister . I've known him for ages." Before the girl in the toque could atop her the other young woman had Intercepted the young man and he ? was standing smiling down at him. <lO] J 4U1. 1M oiuntry, tins is ntritru jDeueuiui, tutu ' she wants you to pull her hair, J please," gurgled Margaret. "Pull her hair?" the youth began ! amazedlv, then a light dawned in his j eyes as he held out his hand eagerly, i "Is it really you? Well, I think you i ought to have your hair pulled for the way you treated me that day, and then skipped the country afterward without leaving a trace. I tried to bribe the people at the farm house?" ' He broke off and then began again. ' "I won't pull it here in public, but if you'll let Margaret bring me up to see you some day I'll be glad to give? It a little tweak and call it square." I "Didn't you really think?" "That you always wore a wig? Not for a minute?and anyway," auda- j ciously, "you weren't such ail awful , eyesore without It." Easily Fitted. Colonel Jasper, having anew pair shoes that hurt his corns, decided to five them away to one of the negro holsters at the hotel liverystable, and picked out Zeke as a likely object of his generosity when he saw the old fellow shambling toward him wearing a pair of tattered shoes that looked like sandals. "Zeke, what size shoes do you wear?" he called to him. The old negro stopped short In expectation. "Any size, cunnel!" he exclaimed earnestly. "Any sise!"?Judge. ?The Scrap Book Making an Impression.

A searching investigation when the guests had departed revealed the awful truth. One of her small children had abstracted all the ham from the sandwiches and substituted pieces of an old red flannel garment, carefully trimmed to sandwich size. Let Your Sun Shine. Have you ever wondered if this could be the same world because some one had been unexpectedly kind to you? You can make today turn suddenly sunshiny for some one.?Maltbie D. Babcock. Witty Count Montrond. It was Count Montrond who said to Alexandre de Girardln of a young man who was beginning to make a brilliant reputation and whom Girardln did not appreciate, "Hasten to recognize him or he will not recognize you." Ills valet waited on him one morning most unsuccessfully. He could find none of the toilet articles. Montrond handed them to him. remarking: "You must admit that you are lucky to have me here. Without me you certainly ' could not wait upon me." He Thought It Was Alive. Gill?ert Parker, the English author, tells of an English gentleman who recently came to this country to visit some friends in California. "In com nmn with most travelers he supposed game was plentiful everywhere in that state, so he carried with him the necessary guns and ammunition. "As his train neared Sati Bernardino there was n delay. Several hours passed and still the train remained stationary. Our traveler friend sought the porter of the Pullman car to ascertain the cause of the delay. "It seems that in mounting the grade a freight train had broken apart, tne rear portion having descended the grade and blocked the track. The porter Informed him of the accident to the freight train and said. There is a caboose on the track.' "Immediately the 'hunter* instinct was awakened. Hastening to his berth, he procured his gun and started for the door, saying: " 'Show it to me! Show it to me!' " ?Hearst's Magazine. \ WHEN YOUR LIVER GOES WRONG.
