He's 2 curatc, is he not?” “Ye-es,” faltered Mrs. Patterne. “That accounts for it. Who could possibly be grammatical on the income of a curate? It would be unkind to expect it.” Mrs. Patterne was only humane. “One does not expect a servant in search of a place to correct one’s hus- band’s grammar,” she said, icily, “Of course, if you put it in that im- personal way, ‘one’ does not. It is rather like Ollendorff, ‘One has told me you wish to a the bad bonnet of the good aunt.’ And all that kind of thing. Still, even a curate must have his boots blacked if he wishes to shine—at either eud.” She smiled and displayed dazzling teeth, “Don't you think you would be rath- er trying as a maid-of-all-work?” sug- gested timid little Mrs, Patterne, “My dear woman,” said Cynthia, composedly, “I couldn't possibly be worse than the average servant.

Most thoughtless and selfish of her,” said Rev. John, in- dignantly, “You know you are not well just now, I will admonish her and point out that sin of selfishness which doth beset us all.” Before Mrs, Patterne could restrain him he had entered the kitchen. “Maria,” said he, firmly, “be good enough to bring me a glass of water.” “Oh, go away and don't bother,” said Cynthia, “Con’t you see I'm busy?” “T want a glass of water,” he persisted with dull obstinacy. “Then get it!” Cynthia put a fresh sheet. of paper into the typewriter and went‘on with her work, oblivious of his presence, Rev. John withdrew, “She is so kind to you that I thought —I thought it best to—to temporize,” Le explained to his wife, who was indig- nant with him. “She—she is a mys- tery.” “A heaven-sent one,” declared the lit- tle wife, wearily. John, dear, I’m so tired and—frightened.” With the coming of the baby Cynthir redoubled her exertions. She seemed to know all about it, and, as the nurse said, the baby “took to her.” This nurse was an opulent-looking, Mrs, Gamp-like sort of person, whose prevailing charac- teristics were a red nose and a smell of peppermint. Three weeks after the birth of the baby Cynthia ordered her out of the house, for she had discovered Mrs, Patterne crying herself into hysterics, “I—I'm afraid of her,” sobbed the poor little woman, “I’m sure she gives baby things to make him sleep.” “Well, I'll give him things to make him sleep,” said the undaunted Cynthia, “Wholesome things.” The next afternoon she found Mrs. Patterne almost angry wiwth her hus- band, “Because you do such a lot he doesn’t realize how overworked you are,” she said, crossly. “Overworked! Not a bit of it, Feel my biceps, What is the trouble? Can't I put it right?” “I don’t like to impose upon you.” Cynthia began to play with the baby. “Out with it. What is it?” “J-john has invited a man to dine and stay the night.” “Well, why shouldn’t J-john?” “As if you hadn’t such a lot to do!” “Don't mind in the least. One more man doesn't make much difference. If it were a woman she would be much more critical.” “I hate to imj-3e on your good na- ture.” “That's all rigit. What shall I get for dinner? And who is the man?” “Panion, a young army man who used to read with John. He went out to South Africa and has only jus; landed, John is so fond of him thai he wired to him directly he heard the steamer was in.” “Quite right, too,” said Cynthia, flugh- ing a little. ‘I haven’t had time to see to-day’s paper. I'll have a look at it.” She went downstairs and picked up the paper. Yes, “Parkworth, Pepper- ton, Panton.” She gave a little gasp, pulled herself together and flew upstairs to get his room ready. “Stay a week—a month—a year, til! you get over that wound,” said Rev.

She found Cynthia in the dining-room, hand to heart, straining her ears for the sound of Panton’s voice. “Is that—is that the-one?” Mrs. Pat- terne faltered. “Ye-es,” “Isn’t your proper place in the kitch- en?” asked Mrs, Patterne, icily, and Cynthia, crushed for once, indignantly swept by the ungrateful woman for whom she had done so much. She flung herself, heartbroken, into a chair. And after all their silly misun- derstandings they might have come to- gether again!

The most interesting’ news in connec- tion with the match is the won- derful set of rules that have been ar- ranged for the event. Fifteen rues have been framed and they are more suitable for a dog fight in this country than a catch-as- eatch-can wrestling bout for the best three falls in five. Biting, scratching and pulling each other’s ears are stip- ulated as being barred, and other spe- cifications are drawn up in a style that must be truly English. Obstacles stood in the way of a match so long that they seemed unsurmountable, as the Turk wanted to take any kind of @ hold he could get, but a satisfactory arrangement has finally been arrived at. In bouts for the championship, the stipulations in the articles of agreement are generally such as to de- fine positively what the contestants may do. Were it not for that, there would be nothing left for the referee but to permit everything to go—stran- gle, hammerlock, neck wrenching ani the whole category of muscle-wreck- ing practices. Thus, as a general rule, exhibitions for the title are reasonably clean. Ordinarily, the terrific and dan- gerous holds possible in wrestling are not employed in ordinary matches. In fact, one of these, the strangle, is al- most always barred. Another, the ham- merlock, is frequently ruled out in the articles of agreement. But many of the matches which are wrestled, practi- cally in private, for big side stakes, and with only the backers and officials in attendance, are affairs of agonizing brutality, and frequently result in re- markable exhibitions of endurance and fortitude. and, too frequently, of mishaps in the way of breaks and sprains. year if desired, HACKENSCHMIDT TIME DEPOSITS.
