Staggers the Tramp Happened Along at Right Time to Save | His Friend. | By FLORENCE LILLIAN HENDER. SON, “You will be careful, will you not, dear?” pleaded pretty Mrs. Ainslee, the bride of a year. *“If anything should happen to you—" “But nothing is going to happen to me, little chick,” said bluff, happy Bob, her husband. *“Now, don't go worrying yourself to death and im- agining all kinds of disasters if I'm not home till midnight.” “Till midnight!™ Mrs Ainslee utter- ed a positive scream of affright, “Nearly two o'clock in the morn- ing, I should say,” corrected Bob, coolly. “Sce here, you sensible pet.

A fine fellow of his word, honest Bob went his way. A big-hearted lite tle philanthropist, Laura proceeded to the yard. “That was my husband, Mr, Stag- gers,” she said, “Yes'm; often seen him; often re- marked how happy with a wife like you,” bowed scraped the politic tramp. “That suit he has on—I told him you were waiting for it." Staggers only grinned his delight at the anrouncement, “You have made me very glad the way you have improved,” commended the lady. “See here, mum.” szid the tramp, “the fellow who wouldn't try and make good after being treated like a man as you have done, is no gentle- man. That s added Staggers gloatingly, “say, 1 dream about it nights. I've sort of made it the top stone of respectability. My, won't I shine.

He heard some one say it was raining outside. Mrs. Ainslee had given him an old umbrella, and Staggers felt proudly that he did not have to dodge the showers, He sat through the performances of the same thing over and over again, It was eleven o'clock when he fol- lowed the crowd out to the street. It was drizzling a trifle. Staggers started homewards.
