Roxnnn's dog wns nil ill conditioned
bruto. He was n Rurly bull pup that
bad never met Ills muster and ilelighted
In making It most uncomfortable
for those who sought Roxnnn's compuny.
He was not often docile, even
wltli lier, hut she was so proud of ills
blue ribbon and ugliness that she endeavored
to hide bis delinquencies.
Nevertheless, there were times when
she would not have gone near him for
the world. ?
One day he snarled at her before
Goddurd Greer, and tlint was the beginning
of trouble. Greer was a college
bred athlete who feared 11 >thing
011 earth except perhaps Itoxann. Enraged,
he seized the luckless prize winner
by the collar and bore him to the
hallway, where he administered a
strong argument, after which he turned
the amazed animal loose down the
back stairs. Goddnnl returned to the
parlor, arranging his cuffs, but otherwise
as usual, lie stopped short as he
faced Uoxniui, who looked like an outraged
empress.
"A truly fine performance," she declared
scathingly. "There is your ring.
I never wish to see you again."
"What's up? I don't understand"?
"If you think you can abuse my dog
or any animal and keep my regard
you are greatly in error. It is fortu- 1
uato I discovered your true character
before It was too late."
A11 amused twinkle lighted Greer's
eyes. "Do you think if 1 let a dog |
snarl and snap at you I'd be better ;
fitted to take en re of you? The beast
lias been hunting trouble. Come, don't j
let us quarrel"?
"1 shall never quarrel with you I
again," asserted Itoxann sternly, as
though depriving him of some pleasant j
pastime. "Can't von nei-ont n tiint I
I wish to l?c alone?"
Greer stood Ills ground. lie tried to
laugh, but not very successfully.
"Come, Itoxle, forgive ine. You
know the old proverb: 'A dog, a woman
and a walnut tree. The more
they he beaten the better they be.' "
Uoxuna's eyes blazed as though she
already felt the suggested chastisement.
"Oh, Is that your theory? Well,
I decline to he the woman!" And she
left him to meditate on the ingratitude
of woirtankind. They had quarreled
before, but never with what appeared
to be such finality. When Greer called
again lloxana was not at home. lie
wrote, and his letter was returned unopened.
About a week later Itoxauu,
having passed a day shopping and dining
with her friend, Mrs. Vinlng, deckled
not to await Mr. Yliilng's delayed
return, though he had promised
to escort her home.
"I'll jump on a car. I nin not afraid,"
she declared.
"But, dear, it's nearly 10. Phil can't
be long now," urged her hostess. But
lloxana was obdurate.
"No, I shall be all right."
There seemed to be a delay on the
line, for she had stood nt the corner
some minutes. Then a mnn joined her.
Without looking she knew it was Goddard
Greer. She was incensed. Had
he followed her? Would lie have the
presumption to ride on the same car?
As the headlight shot Into sight she decided
to wait for another car rather
than risk his unwelcome proximity.
Greer glanced inquiringly at her, but
seeing that she made no move he likewise
retained his position on the curbing.
Roxunn tapped her foot impatiently.
It was absurd! Why had lie
not taken his car? When the next car
appeared, as one of tliem must make
a move, lloxana hailed the inotormnn,*
mounted the step and took her seat.
T7<....... 1.? 1
11 <71.1 iK-iii-u 111 u?*r iinvrnn ljus HI1C saw
Greer standing sentinel on the pintform.
The enr was empty, with the
exception of n negro, and Itoxnnu had
traveled several blocks before the conductor
came to collect her fare.
She opened her purse and looked hurriedly
from one compartment to another.
It was empty. Evidently she
had spent every penny during the shopping
expedition. Hut there remained
her wrist hag, Into which she frequently
dropped small change. The conductor
went forward to speak to the motormnn.
ltoxana pursued the search.
In vain she emptied out her helonglugs
from the satchel. She found no coin.
Then she unfastened her coat. Surely
In the change pocket she would find a
nickel. But the pocket was as hare as
Mother Hubbard's cupboard. The conductor
returned, ltoxana was frightened.
It was late, and she had'quite a
trip before her.
"I seem to have no change," she
commenced nervously.
"Allow me." Greer handed the fare
to the official, who looked questloningly
at ltoxana.
"No! I'll get oft! Please stop!" she

(Jreor. Hhe lind dismissed him. lie had
no right to Intrude In nny way.
Heroically Roxana left the car and
walked north. She had never been alone
on the street ho late, and, remembering
the distance, the darkness and the loneliness
of the blocks, she was really
alarmed. She did not fear the pedestrians
she met as much as those who
overtook her. She dreaded the sound
of footsteps l>ehind, conjuring up all
sorts of horrors. As she hurried up the
deserted thoroughfare It seemed to her
that some one followed. If she hastened,
the pursuing footsteps quickened.
When she slackened speed, the
other did the same. It frightened her,
and she became breath'ess. With the
passing minutes'her terror gained. She
si&L,Kf l ,. . : ' ~
began to run. Then the dread became a
certainty. The other one would soon
overtake her. What If that negro had
seen her gold purseV
Across the avenue she saw*nil alley, i
She hail heard that thieves often evnd- J
itl arrest by disappearing In the dark- .
ness of such places. If she cut through j
might not she, too, escape? Desperate, '
half liystcrlcal, Itoxana made a sudden^
rush across the road. A trolley grazed
her shoulder, the motorman cursed as
he reversed the lever. Terrified, she
had all hut renched the desired shelter
when a strong hand grasped her suddenly
by the arui. She tried to scream,
but 110 sound came. Lifting her eyes,
her glance met Greer's, looking sternly
at her.
"I guess that will do for one night,"
he remarked coldly. "Come over to the
drug store while I phone for u cab."
Completely unnerved, Itoxana followed.
The reaction had been sudden.
She tried to remember what they bad
quarreled about, but could only feel ,
relief in his presence. Greer ordered
the cub, then went outside to wait.
"Come!" he commanded tersely 011 its
arrival.
Gratefully Itoxana obeyed. Tlieu as
he was about to close the door Hlie
found her voice. "Don't leave me."
"I've 110 intention of doing so." And
he mounted by the driver. When they
reached her home Roxana's eyes were
suspiciously red."Wcll?"
said Greer. The bull pup
sniffed respectfully at his boots. Greer
stooped and patted him 011 the head.
"The dog forgives me"??
"Then its mistress can do no less,"
she admitted.
" *A dog, a woman and n walnut
tree* began Greer teaslngly.
"Ilush, hush!" whispered Itoxana,
with her hand 011 bis lips. "You know
I never really believed"?
"Of course not," lie agreed promptly.
Then, as his arms tightened about
her, "But, oh, Roxie, don't lot us play
that game again."
Sucli In l-'nnir.
The following story concerning John
l'orster, the biographer of Dickens,
was told by the late Sir Weinyss Iteid:
In the days of his youth Sir Weinyss
showed a great desire to embark upon
u journalistic career, wnereupon nn
old friend of the family iu Newcastle
told Idm that going to Loudon and
writing for the papers would bring
him no good, adding:
"I mind there was a decent friend of
mine, nuld Mr. Forster, the butcher in
the side, lie had a laddie just like
you, and nothing would serve liini but
he must go away to Loudon to get eddieated,
as he called It. and when he.
had got eddieated he wouldn't couie
back to ltls father's shop, though 14
was a first class business. He would
do nothing but write and write and
write, and at last he went back again
to London and left his poor nuld father
alone, and A're never heard tell
of that laddie Rlnce."
"It was thus," concluded Sir Wemyxs,
"that the fame of John Forster, the
author of 'The Life of Goldsmith' and
the destined biographer of Charles
Dickons, was cherished In his native
town by his father's ancient friends!"
Points on PropoiilnK.
An old fashioned book of etiquette
contains a chapter on courtship that Is
exceedingly naive. Any young man
who might be contemplating a proposal
of marriage was urged strongly to select
with care and due forethought the
proper time and place for such proposal.
For Instance, he should never
propose to a young woman while out
boating, for if she should happen to refuse
him It would be ditllcult to reach
shore Immediately, and the situation
would obviously be awkward.
On the other hand, if she should accept
him the situation would be equully
undesirable since too close a proximity
uuu cerium auituues incident to the
circumstances are known to threaten
the safety of a boat; also said young
man was advised never to propose to a
young woman }ust before dinner. Having
been without eating for some hours,
she would doubtless be iu a less aniiable
frame of mind than usual and
might under these conditions refuse an
offer which nt another time would seem
desirable.

' I believed that I had collected an
outlawed bill the other day," remarked
a physician. "I met a man on the
street who said he owed me $3 and
who promised to pay the money some
time. Knowing that there was little
likelihood of his doing so, as he is a
well known deadbeat, I replied in a
bantering sort of way:
" 'Bet you a dollar you will never
pay the $3.'
"Much to my surprise, when I re*
turned to my office, my wife said this
man had called to settle his account.
He had given her a check for $10 and
received $7 in cash. In the evening
he dropped in, and I gladly paid him
