D R R e T I e T S T W “The melancholy days have come,” said Medford to himself as he unlocked his tront door upon his return from es- tablishing his wife at a summer re- sort, “and the fellow who said that the fall days are the saddest of the year probably never had a wife who went away every summer and left him to his own destruction.” He stared about him when he enter ed the familiar living room and it seemed to him that a company of ghosts were drawn up to receive him. His wife's cozy, sleepy hollow chair bad changed its pretty tapestry dress for & winding sheet. The Morris chair wore a bilious looking blouse, and al though his own leather rocker had been permitted to remain unmolested it Tooked strangely out of place in this ghostly company. “No wonder men take to drink and gay company when their wives are away for the summer,” he said to him- self, as he dropped into his accustom- ed place. “Does any sane woman think that a man is going to be satisfied with shrouded chairs and blank windows for society while his wife is sitting on & hotel porch talking to the swells? “I think that at least Lydia might have left the curtains up, for she knows how I hate bare windows. As for this beastly carbolic smell, it makes a fellow feel as if he were in his grave or in a hospital, which is about the same thing.” He wandered about from room to room, assuring himself that he felt like the heroine in thé story of the *“Three Bears,” who was so difficult to please in the matter of furniture and porridge. When he came to the din- ing room he stood aghast at the havoo revealed there and he was shocked at the absence of the precious silver cof- fee pot. “No matter if I am to take my meals out, she might have left that coffee pot Just for company,” he mourned. “It is all very well for her, there in & perfect forest of coffee pots, for she will probably never give a thought to her own, but next to her there is noth- ing that 1 miss 8o much. If I knew No Wonder Men Take to Drink. where she had hidden it I would get it out and take my chance on its being carried off by a burglar. Burglars! 1 can fancy that a man could get so lonesome that he would be glad to meet & burglar. I am sure if one should turn up now I would invite him to sleep in the spare room.” Then he slowly ascended the stairs and entered the dainty gray and pink bedroom where twin four poster beds stood in solitary splendor. “If she was so keen about putting things away, why didn’t she hide this abandoned twin?” he grumbled as he turned from it. Again, like Golden Locks, he ventured to try another bed, the spare bed, which graced a room which had no personal associations tor him and therefore seemed less dreary. But the mothballs had taken posses sion of that room and in utter discour agement he returned to the twins, which at least were innocent of offen- sive odors. Upon again entering his own room | his eye fell upon his wife's little ma- hogany sewing table, with its armless chalr drawn up beside it, and out of idle curiosity he opened one of the drawers. “If I were a real hero of romance,” he mused, “I ought to find a letter tucked away in here, a letter that would reveal my wife’s hopeless pas- sion for another man.” But instead of a letter there were the gold thimble he had given her, & neat little row of scissors and spools of thread of all sizos and colors. These ssemed to agitate him as much as & guflt-revealing letter would have done, and he looked away from the drawer to the picture of a happy face smiling at him from the wall. He returned the amile. When later he tumbled into bed his final reflection was: “Well, I dom't care how lonely I am, it only she has & good time."—Chicago Daily News. Sounds Fishy. A Prench inventor has takea out a patent for the catching of fish by means of the telephone. It is stated that fish, when swimming, emit cer tain sounds which can be detected by the telephone. The inventor's appara- tus consists of a telephone recelver and a detonator, which are sunk in the water and connected by wires to a post of observation on the river bank. When fish in any number pass the receiver a sound is heard by the watcher, who has only to press a but ton to explode the detonator. ______—;-———'___"-\ —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— e w Classified Advertising AN FOR RENT—4 unfurnished room; WANTED(— your FOR S ALE reasonablerent.
