J Copreighints 1307 27 0 TE Sutvlitte t ttt. Melinda had come from up state. Before her arrival in the big, bustling city she had studied stenography and typewriting in an up state business | college. Rhe was a good stemographer, | too, and would have done well in the | etty--if she had stuck to stenographic pot hooks and curlycoes. But Metinda would read novels, and when she had secured a position and | setfted herself fu a hall room at the | working girls' club the novel habit re asserted itself more strongly than ever, abandoned scented drawing rooms and red coated hunting fleids to besiege the hearts of the forementioned honest working Iassies. Just about the time that Melinda had absorbed her three hundred and forty: ninth novel the bookkeeper gave her a couple of passes for the theater. It was just his lack, i explained, that the baby had the whooping cough when those passes came his way, but of course he wouldn't leave his wife alone of an evening under such cir cumstances. Melinda did not stop to consider that in a humble, twentieth century fashion this was rather a knightly thing for an underpaid book- pany her to the theater. It was a wonderful play, called "The Road to Yesterday" and the natural climax of Melinda's course in novel reading, for in it a young girl and her lover and many other folk were trans- ported back 200 years and did all the things of which one reads in novels centuries old. Its moral--or one of them--w=s that the old spirit of knight: hood lived in the twentieth century mar, though it sometimea had rather a practical way ef manifesting itself. From that night, perhaps because of the play and perhaps because dog days set in, Melinda read fewer novels and hunted methodically for her twea- tieth century knight. It was too het her to light the gas in the small ball room or even to burn a lamp, ES (WHOLE N 2s a Re !

It was a great night on the bay moonlit and sparking, after a day of relentless heat and humidity, and not a night for disaster at all. But one i one great flash of light, felt an arm jerk her to her feet, and then every- thing was blank. This may have been | becanse the day had been so long and hard or because the girl had never in all her reading days thought of what one ought to do when fire broke out on a crowded boat. Something cool and lovely was tric kilng on her forehead, her eyes, her cheeks, her lips. B8he was floating on a cond. No, she was lying on wet sand, and the assistant matron was murmuring: "Nao, no, she's not hurt. It was just the shock. Bhe will be all right in a minute.

I owned a common shepherd dog which was a very intelligent ani- mal and was of great assistancd to me In the newspaper business, rum- ning across the street with papers in his mouth to customers. He attracted moch attention, and he got me many. new customers, for everybody MHked him, he was such a business dog. I was sick one day and not able to sell my papers, My dog came in my reom where I lay in bed. He fumbled around In my pants pockets and tool the keys to my news stand and ran out of the house, and the first thing I knew he had the newspaper stand opened up and doing business. He was very clever in making change, changing five and ten dollar bills without a single mistake, work- ing the cash register with his paws, and everything ran smoothly until a man came up and passed him a lead quarter. My dog got mad and lost hig temper entirely, and I was forced to interfere. With much trouble I man- aged to pull them apart. If this dog bad not had such a quick temper I would bave started him in business for himself. This dog is stilk Hving. Henry Ward Beecher was once ap- proached by a young man who com sidered himgelf very clever, "Do you know, Mr. Beecher," said be, "I've baen thinking that I woul} der. All knights must be. And then the other voice sald brokenly: | "You know I never had a chamce to | tell ber I loved her. She was so back- ward and shy and always seemed to more. Melinda was sitting on the edge of the bed in the assistant matron's room. "I suppose they don't have to be tall | and slender and pale and Interesting if | their hearts are all right and knightly. And Billy's heart is all right He don't have to run an elevater, you know. His mother has quite a Ifttle money, but be's going to be an electrical en- gineer or superintendent of big bulld- | ings or something of that sort, and he says be wants to kndw everything from running elevators to running men, and then he can suppert me and mam- ma too. But when his mother came in to see me today she patted my hand and kissed me on both cheeks and said there was no reason why Billy and I should have to wait that long, because ghe thought there was love emough in my heart to keep two mothers going, and she had no daughter. She's just lovely, his mother is, and you'd know she was just the sort whose son would be a knight." And the assistant matron remem- bered a stern, white face she had seen for just an instant on that dreadful night, felt once more the grip of his firm, strong and murmured, "Yes, of such stock do real knights spring." The American Abroad. It has for years been brought home to us--by comment more or less com- plimentary--that we Americans travel ing abroad are closely scrutinized by the Europeans.

An English tourist visited Arran and being a keen disciple of Izaak Wal ton was arranging to have a day's good sport. Being told that the cleg, or horsefly, would suit his purpose ad mirably for a lure, he addressed him- self to Christy, the highland servant girl, "I say, my girl, can you get me some horseflies 7" Christy looked stupid, and he repeat- ed his question.

A villager, Intensely conceited and ignorant, but quite wealthy, was per- suaded to have his grandfather's pic- ture repainted. The artist, not having been decently treated by the villager, drew the por- trait almost in a nude form. Rolling it up, he told the man not to ook at it before the coming New Year. On that day the villager ordered the ple< ture to be hung up that he might pay it his New Year 'respects. As it was being unrolled he frantically waved his hands and shouted: "Wait! Wait] The old gentleman is not ready, for he Is not yet dressed."'--From the Chl nese. a The Worth of His Money. g Not seldom In highland districts the attendance at church during unpropi- tious. weather is but scanty. One mine ster, finding himself on a boisterous: Sunday confronted with but one sols. tary auditor, who happened to be =& gruff, outspoken character, took him into his confidence, with a view to propitiate him. "WIll I go on with the' sermon, John?' John answered gruff- ly, "Of eourse." Getting into the pul. pit and leaning over it, he asked, "Will I give you the Gaelic sermon or the Bnglish one?"
