If the dinner were delayed again there was danger that the whole thing might fall through. The oniy way to approach I’rescott was through a dinner d a home din- ner at that. The Prescotts bad lived in hotels all Zheir lives because they were so seldom long in one place, Their permanent quarters in the fashionable hotel they regarded as home, but they were more often .in London or Paris, or else up the Nile or some other queer place, and it was a saying that one argument after a home dinner was worth a hundred in an office where Sydney Prescott was con- cerned. It seemed a simple matter to Jack to borrow a waiter from the restaurant ‘where he lunched to take the place of the butler, who had left the day be- fore, but the head twalter shook his head. There were three big banquets that night. Every waiter in town had been engaged weeks before. Yet for all of that a quiet faced Eng- lishman presented himself at the Mar- tines’ that afternoon and went to work with a quiet skill that made Mrs., Mar- tine almost want to hug him. To Beth he seemed like a godsend. All day long she had been struggling with the preparations for the dinner with such awkward help as a green servant could give. When Peters came into the kitchen and quietly took pos- session, it seemed as if the sun had suddenly burst from behind the clouds. The servant was set to work to clean the silver, and he took charge of everything. directing Beth with a quiet respectfulness that inspired confi- dence, Long before the guests arrived things were all ready and Peters had retired to his room to get ready for the even- ing. Beth sat out on the back stoop to cool her- heated face and breathe a sigh of relief that things seemed to promise so well, Della ran out for a moment just be- fore train time to show herself and be admired and lightly kissed the red lips. “Isn’t Peters a gem?’ she exulted. “I never saw a man take hold so. If it had been his own dinner he could not have been more interested.” “He's a dear,” laughed Beth. “I think we will have to get him to stay somehow, even flough he said he was only here for the day. I almost think I'd marry him to keep him in the fam- Hly2 There was a discreet cough, and the two women started apart. Peters had come downstairs again and was stand- ing by the dresser. With a last kiss Della ran off to welcome Ler guests, and presently Jack came into the kitchen to see that all was well. “Don’t let things fall down,” was his parting injunction to Beth. “If this deal goes through you shall have that trip to Europe—unless some one else takes you there first.” “You'd better get ready to write a check if you are thinking of Harvey,” she said spiritedly. “I wrote him yes- terday that I never wanted to see him again.” “He’s an awfully good chap,” urged Jack, who seemed to find food for much laughter in her speech. “I’ll bet you change your mind before long.” “Never!” she called after him as he turned back to his guests, and it was with a high head that she entered the kitcien. Even now she was not alto- gether sure that she was glad that she had sent that letter, but Harvey was 8o irritating. But this was no time to worry about Harvey, and she turned to her work. “Things look splendid, Peters,” she smiled as she entered the dining room and saw how perfectly the table was appointed. “I think we shall have to get you to stay on with us.” “I think it could be done, ma’am,” was the respectiul reply, “but my price is pretty high, ma'am.” “We paid Hawkins sixty,” she said. “Have you been getting more than that?” “No, ma’am, but I should want more here.” “Possibly my brother might make it seventy-five,” she suggested. “If you think that will do I will speak to him before you go.” “It's not money I'm looking for,” he explained. “It's something else. You see, I'm a single man, ma’am.” “I dow't see what that has to do with it,” she said coldly, “unless you have fallen in love with Maggle. I be- lieve she is engaged to a policeman in town.” “It was yourself, ma’am,” was the even response. “I heard you say as how you'd marry me to keep me here.” Beth went white with anger, and for a moment she. wished impotently that she was a man that she might strike this fellow. She turned as if to call Jack, then she thought of the dinner and all that depended upon it and with an effort collected herself, “You forget yourself, Peters,” she said coldly. “You had better announce dinner.” Peters never stirred. “I'm not going to do anything unless you promise to marry me,” he said doggedly. “You know what this dinner means to your brother. Now you may take your choice.” She looked at the man curiously. He was not intoxicated, nor did he seem to be crazy, yet he stood there coolly mak- Ing a proposal of marriage to her. “Let me hear no more of this,” she said severely. “Either announce din- ner or get out of here.” “I'll do neither,” he said determined- 1y, “unless you say ‘Yes! Won't you, dear?” he added, with a changed voice. Beth gave a little shriek. “Harvey!” she gasped. “Precisely,” he agreed. “Jack told we his trouble, and I told him that I would come out. Prescott knows me, so I had to disguise myself, and I thought I'd pay you back for that letter too.” “Are you going to spoil it all now?” she pleaded. “Not if you say ‘Yés.” “Announce dinner, please.” “On those terms?” “You brute!” said Beth, but some- how it did not sound as if she meant it, and Harvey kissed her before he went to summon the guests. An 0la Meat Bill. The state historian of New York in compiling some records brought to light some amendments to laws confirmed at “ye General Court of assizes held It New Yorke, beginning on ye 5th & end- ing on ye 8th day of October, 1670.” The following catches the eye: “Whereas, divers Complaints have been made of the great abuse of bring- ing dead hoggs & Porke into this city & it not being discernible -how long they bave Leen Kill'd by reason they are too often brought frozen, so not ca- pable of being preserved by Salt which tends much' to ye disreputacon of that Commodity svhen sent abroad, and ye Merchants who BExport it into Warmer Olimates, for ye reasons aforesaid it is Ordered, That henceforth no hogg or hoggs shall be brought dead to thig place eitber for sale or payment of debts, except it shall be In cask well Salted & Packt according to ye Law, otherwise’ smoak't or dryed of whick all persons are to take Notice, as they. will answer ye contrary at their Per rills.” A ice of Evils. sLandlady—Would you advise me to send my daughter to a cooking school or to a music school?

Put His Foot In It. g On one occasion in Scotland a guest arriving rather late at a country house was quartered in the haunted room. Although professing to be a skeptic, llke many others, his courage vanished with the light. Determined, however, to protect himself as well as possible, he placed a loaded revolver under his plllow and awalted events. As the clock struck midnight he saw a fleshy hand at the end of the bed, and, steadying his nerve, he addressed the visitant thus: “If you do not instantly remove your hand I shall fire without further warning.” He counted three and then discharged the bullet. A howl of pain which aroused the house- hold followed, and it ‘was soon discov- ered that the successful marksman had shot away two of his own toes.— London Throne. Punishing a Court Fool. Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great and the Emperor Paul had rough ways with their fools. A dagger thrust would follow a poor joke and banishment any sign of declining wit. Once when Fougere, the jester of Czar Paul, of- fended his royal master he was permit- ted to depart in peace. In the middle of the night, however, he was aroused and ordered to get up and prepare for immediate banishment to Siberia. In vain the unhappy man pleaded. He ‘was bundled into a dark van and driv- en away on his long journey. Day after day, week after week, it lasted. Upon arrival he stepped out into the presence of—the czar. All the time he had been driven not toward Siberia, but around and around St. Petersburg! Polite Notice Boards. At the hospital just opposite the en- trance to the East India docks and the Blackwall tunnel—under the Thames— notice boards are set up asking the drivers, for the sake of those who are ill within, to walk their horses past the building. That is a common enough request, but what gives it a peculiar interest here is that the carter, having complied or not with the modest de- mand, is confronted at the other- cor- ner of the building by another board, saying, “Thank you, driver”—A Wan- derer in London.

The Knock-out Blow. ‘The blow which knocked out Corbett was a revelation to the prize fighters. From the earliest days of the ring the knock-out blow was aimed for the jaw, the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach punches were thrown in to worry and weary the fighter, but if a scientific man had told one of the old fighters that the most vulnerable spot was the region of the stomach, he’d have laughed at him for an ignoramus.
