Or is it money— or debts?’—although he knew Tom to be a marvelously healthy animal, and that neither of the other two possibili- ties had power to disturb him in the least. Tom now slowly revolved his head and looked at Van Vechten, glassily. Without replying, he absently fell to caressing one wrist, which appeared to his companion to be somewhat swol- len and bruised. Van Vechten's curi- osity mounted. “Where have you been?” he de- manded. Tom answered with poorly assumed carelessness; ‘“Over at Rocky Cove.” Then unconsciously he began caress- ing the other wrist, which also was discolored and swollen, Van Vechten Doxology Didn’t Go.

It was a huge concourse BEvery nook and corner of the hall was crowded, the meeting was a great success and came 10 its end, when up spoke the bishop of London, who was in the chair. “Dear breth- | ren,” said his lordship, “we will now ! conclude the afternoon’s good worl_{“ by singing the doxology.” “You can't, proteqtpd a voice (Smith's) from the back. “I haven't got a music license— it's against the law—the magistrates won't let me.” No Limit on Housework. | A lot of housewives don't seem to be deriving much benefit from the new law limiting a woman’s working time to ten hours a day.—Philadelphia In- quirer.

What do you purpose doing, may I inquire?” “I'm serious,” returned Tom, scowl- ing. “l mean just what I say. I in- tend to go to work. Think of all the years I've squandered in idleness—" “Heaven forbid!" broke in his friend. “I can imagine onty one thing that could set you'to reflecting upon the desolate, dreary waste of your mis- spent life. And, mirabile dictu et visu, it has come at last! Who ig this para- you?” Tom colored again. “Shucks!” he growled sulkily. “A feliow might as well try talking seriousiy to an idiot.” “Believe me,”” said Van Vechten earnestly, “I never was in a more Mayn't 1 be permitted some vent for my stupefac- tion? You appear here, utterly unlike the chap I know, and sit for minutes, about as garrulous as a corpse, then overwhelm me with the amazing reve- lation that you are—at last—in love! Tom, my dear fellow, I feel as if I were participating in a miracle. Tell me frankly all about her.” “She has the tenderest, most mu- sical voice in the world,” said Tom fervently. “That’s the genuine poetic touch,” Madison Heights, Va.—Mr. Chas. A.
