HIICIUCI iuo uuuuico uici uar | ancoi the successes or not Is a deli' cate subject. One oi' his wild impulses swept over darbies soul as he turned to gaze into the face of an excited bellboy. The bellboy had dashed madly through the hotel lobby and around the cashier's glass cage ar.d then had grabbed Garble by the elbow as he stood counting ! out bills. "Well, what's the matter?" asked Garble, as the boy stuttered with ex! citement. I Garble and Rockton had been stopping fcr a few days at a Chicago hotel. Now they were preparing to de, part They had dropped their bags 1 over on the other side of the lobby as j they came downstairs. ?o the bellboy stuttered as he grabbed Garble s arm. "Say," he gasped. | them your bags over on the other sidt-a the lobby? By the door?" "They are," replied Garble. "Why?" "Well," said the bellboy, "there's a ?A ?. * ntAril 'AIW! V"AI?M Kotior 1 mux; iu auai uxn . 1 uu u uwbut come quick!" It was then that Garble was obsessed by his sudden idea. He shut his mouth, which he had opened to exi plain the matter, and stuffed his change into his pocket with an exaggerated display of haste. "Where is he?" he growled, as he ran after the fleeing bellboy. Across the lobby he descried Rock; ton walking away with the two suitcases, headed for the checkroom, where they were to have been left during the day. Spurred on by authority, the boy seized Rockton. "Here!" he cried. "Whachu doin' with them bags?" Rockton turned a mildly surprised face upon his captor and then glanced smilingly at Garble in the rear. He wondered why Garble looked so sour. "Why," he said easily, "one of 'em's mine, and the other is his." indicating Garble. The boy turned upon Garble a look which spelled complete understanding. "How about that for nerve?" he asked. "He's an old hand at it," said Garble, stepping up and frowning upon Rockton. "Drop 'em! And we'll have to see about you!" Garble pointed to his name card in the tag on his Brn'tcase. "Clever of him," he commented to the bellboy, i "What do you mean to?" began Rockton, indignantly. Garnie transnxea mm wun a siony stare. "I mean to hand you over to the police for grabbing my grips; that's what I mean," he said distinctly. Then he coughed. He had to, because Rockton's face was so funny. "Call the house detective!" commanded he. Amazement, rage and the shock reduced Rockton to a state of incoherency, which was easily taken for a iign of guilt. Moreover, the house detective was feeling unusually suspicious that day. And Garble was impressive. "You come with me," the detective told Rockton. As Garble, with unholy glee, gazed upon his miserable friend, he thought af an added touch. They had been duo | to take luncheon with Miss N'eddcji and her mother at one o'clock and, if the truth must be told, there was quite a contest on between Rockton and Garble as to who should win the favor of pretty Alice Nedden. ?imi_ ? _ l:i.I knn i nis man a imni^ iui mj delayed me," he murmured. "I have an engagement at one o'clock and I don't believe I can make it unless I sail a taxi?" "Don't call one," suggested the house detective. "You'll have to come along to 'the station to prefer charges!" It was then that Rockton, catching a glimpse of the consternation on Garble's face, braced up. He even grinned. They sat glaring at each other all the way to the station and then Rockton had his innings. "Look here," he said to the question Ing officer at the desk. "He says he can describe all the articles in both grips! Well, so can I! Why isn my word as good as his? I tell you, If you'll investigate this you'll find he's the guilty man! He's trying to steal my property by having me locked up." "It's all a Joke," protested Garble, watching the clock hands. "I think I'll look into this," said the desk sergeant, ponderously. Which he proceeded to do, with all the frills of red tape known to a conscientious city policeman. With the combined and disgusted atd of the hotel clerk and two business friends, after the: had related the history of their lives from birth and had been threatened with a fine for "getting gay," Garble and Rockton, at 5:30 o'clock that afternoon, finally were released. Garble was a chastened man. He had been through much since noon. He had not even dared to telephone an irntonaHnn tn AHo<? flinCP it WOUld never do to mix her up in a police case. Besides, how could he explain to ber that he was unable to appear at luncheon because he was detained by the police? They caught their train for the east with only a second to spare. When his rancor had somewhat cooled Rockton approached Garble, who was writing voluminously. "What are you doing?" he growled. Garble looked up ooldly.

My friend .John Truesdale is coming up from the city to spend some time with me. L wish to warn you against playi ing any of your pranks on him." "Why. papa: What can you mean?" "Mean! You little minx, you know ' very well what 1 mean. Every man who comes into this house you send away all muddled up. I am very fond j of Truesdale. He. served in the regi| inont I commanded in the Spanish war. J J and 1 don't wish anything to come between him and me to cause restraint. ! I If you go for him he'll keep away from I here forever after." "If Mr. Truesdale is a friend of j yours, how can lie"? j "Nonsense: in the first place, he's ! 1 ten years younger than I; in the sec- ' j ond. if he were ten years older it would i not make any difference to you. Now, ' go. You understand what I require; . behave yourself." "How do you wish me to treat Mr. Truesdale?" "Let him alone." "All right, papa. I'll do just as you say." Mr. Truesdale appeared, or. rather. Captain Truesdale. for he had comI manded a company In Colonel Board , man s regiment in Cuba ana nad cus: tinguisbed himself for gallantry. ILe was thirty-two years old and a tine man; hence the warning the colonel bad given Gwen. A few days after bis arrival u second interview occurred between father and daughter. "Gwen," said the father sternly, "I thought I told you to do nothing to get Truesdale balled up.'' "For heaven's sake. papa, what have I done?" "Done? You have done a lot. One can often work more mischief by doing nothing than doing a great deal." "Didn't you tell me to leave Captain Truesdale alone?" "I did. and you have left him so severely alone already that I can see he is piqued. What I wish you to do is to treat bin! just as you would treat any guest of mine." "Yes, papa." In spite of the obedient tone In which the words were spoken Colonel Boardman looked at his daughter with mis giving as she meekly left the room. Another brief period passed, and the colonel again thought it necessary to speak to his daughter about her treatment of his friend. "Gwen!" She knew by the tone in which her name was spoken that more fault was to be found with her and I bowed to what was coming. "I can't understand." the colonel resumed after a pause, "why you can't treat friends of mine who come into this house more naturally. I asked you to let Captain Truesdale alone, and you let him so severely alone that your treatment of him attracted his attention, ruen i assea you iu w more cordial to him. and you must needs be too cordial. Don't you know that's the way to get a man in love with you?" "You don't mesfn It! Isn't-tbat funny?" "Funny! It isn't funny at all; it's serious." "What do you wish me to do next, papa ?" "What do 1 wish you to do? Why, confound it, I have a mind to send you away!" "Shall I pnck?" The colonel thought a few moments before replying to this last question "Yes." be said at last, "you may pqck. Go to your Aunt Margaret's till Trues dale leaved here. Then you may come back. If I had any confidence in you. which I haven't. I wouldn't object to Truesdale. but this mania of yours to ! bring every man down for mere sport | is execrable, and in the case of Trues- j dale I won't have it. I'm extremely | fond of him and will not permit you : to embarrass our friendship." "Yes. papa." The same afternoon Gwen was packed off to her aunt's. While she had been at home. Truesdale. especially un- j der his recent treatment by her, had' been the life of the house. He talked over their campaign with his host and i made no mention of any time of departure. But as soon as Gwen had| gone he became dull and listless. The j colonel tried to enliven him with "a horn" once in awhile, but it did not! appear to do him any good. The day after Gwen's departure he told his host that his presence was needed in' the city. The colonel protested, but! yielded, since his guest had ceased to' be companionable. So they parted. Then the colonel, who must have companionship, wrote his daughter: "You mav come home?the tempta tlon Is now out of your way." When Gwen drove up to the house the colonel ran out to embrace her Who should get out of the carriage first but Captain Truesdale. He handed out Gwen! "What does this mean?" asked the colonel, bristling. "It means." said Gwen, "that you wished me to let Captain Truesdale alone. That didn't please you, and 1 treated him cordially. You sent me away and he followed me. What In the world could I do? I suppose 1 must marry him. for you'll never he satisfied with anything else I do la the premises." "I think you bad," said the colonel, "btctUfe b$ Wtu puohhhly not b# satlaflsd bl?ttt with anything elet yen CATS ON UNCLE SAM'S PAYROLL Some Draw a 'Salary of $18.25 per Annum.

The Government maintains and provides for numerous cats, says the Chicago Tribune. The army has its regular corps of them, kept at the commissary depots of the great cities,and each draws regular pay equal to $18.25 a year. It is customary for the officer in charge of each depot to submit to the War Department a request for an allowance for so many cats, and the regulations provide that meat shall be purchased for them at a price not greater than five cents a pound; to these rations a stated amnnnt nf Mnnor) millr ia uuivuiiv vi vuuiivu uiim i?j uuuvu jlv* variety. It has been proved by experiment that no matter how good the cats are as hunters, nor how abundant the mice, no cat thrives properly on a diet of unmitigated, mouse; nor does it neglect its duties when other food is provided. Bids for the cats' meat are regularly posted, calling for "fresh beef,suitable for feeding cats?bone to be excluded?to be delivered at the contractor's place of business on such days as may be designated and in such quantities as may be requisite." More than 400 cats are in the employ of the Postoffice Department, distributed among about fifty of the largest offices. The New York ojfice expends something like $60 annual ly for cats meat. Most of the other large governmental buildings are supplied with cats. At an immense cold storage depot established at Manila some time ago cats have been found to be necessary,and there were sent there some of the famous cold storage ; breed from Pittsburgh. This breed originated in the great warehouses ' of a cold storage company and has developed special qualifications for enduring extreme cold. The cold storage cats are short-tailed,chubby, * with long and heavy fur, and their eyebrows and whiskers are extraordinarily long and strong. It is said that they do not thrive when transferred to an ordinary temperature. j SCRANTON SKETCHES. "Here a Little, There a Little/' Gathered by Oar Alert Scribe. Seranton, June 3:?The Sundayschools held their joint annual picnic at Howe's springs Friday, May 30. Three cars were required to transport the large crowd, number ing about lbO people. Among the many visitors were: Misses Kathleen Hayes, of Dillon; Ethel Welch and Beulah Truluck, of Lake City; Olive Lavender and brother, Albert, of New Zion. The day was an ideal one and all agreed that it was the most pleasant outing of the season. There was no preaching at the Methodist church Sunday on account of the illness of the pastor, Rev J W Bailey, who is improving, we are glad to report. Rev Dr L D Bass was in town Saturday afternoon distributing sample copies of "The Commonwealth", of which he is editor. He preached at Camp Branch church Sunday morning. Miss Kathleen Hayes of Dillon is a welcome truest at the home of Mr and Mrs R L Lee. Miss Hayes is one of the teachers in the graded school and has gained many friends here, all of whom are glad to see her. She came last Thursday to attend the picnic at Howe's springs Friday. Mr E M Husbands spent Sunday at the "Gate City". Mr R B Cannon went to Atlanta Friday to join Mrs Cannon and little Nell, the latter having been ^aken there for treatment. We hope she will derive much benefit therefrom. We are glad to report that little Vivian Pate has recovered from a spell of typhoid fever and is playing about as jolly as ever. Miss Olive Lavender is the charming and attractive guest of her ristsr, Mrs g M Cooper. 1 ijTO / "itiMTB
