He half expected the tartest of re- joinders; but, to his astonishment, his wife burst into tears and laid her head upon his shoulder. And Phineas found himself caressing her as he had not done since Tim was a baby. “Phineas,” she wept, “I feel so mean and hateful, the way I've treated the Flahertys and the Hooligans, after the friends we've been. It's for the boy’s sake, Phineas, dear, isn't it?” “Sure, that's all right,” answered her husband. “They understand.” “Do you think they think I think they aren't good enough for us?” in- quired his wife, ralsing her face, wet with tears. “I guess they think they’d do as much if they were in your place, Mary,” he answered. “For half a pin,” said Mary, “I'd stay right on here for old times’ sake, and —and Invite the Hooligans and Fla- hertys to the picnic after all.

On this occasion there was an alto- gether different look in Mary's eye. | “What is it, woman?”’ he exclaimed, sensing that something quite different from anything in his experience had ‘Speak out, Mary, girl!

Years of practise had enabled him to interpret it accurately. It meant, “lie low, Phineas, for things have been at-sixes and sevens all day.” On such occasions Phineas, good, honest man that he was, would slip out quietly after tea to the corner saloon, where he would sit talking pol- | over a glass or two, till the time came “Sure,” answered her husband, bravely, though he, too, was thinking of his old friends and those merry eve- nings at Rafferty’s.

Phineas Kelly, with a mixed feeling of joy and sadness, took up the mis sive and spelled it out: “We beg to inform you,” he read, “that an error was made in stating James Smylie, was likely to be proved “You're going to be a contractor,| 5t five thousand dollars.

God- frey, born in 1704, was a humble gla- zler, but a man of intellectual force. John Hadley also invented a sex- tant, evidently carrying out a sug- gestion of Newton which was found in Sir Isaac's original draft among Hadley's papers after his death. Godfrey antedated Hadley by about one year, but for a long time his claims were not recognized, and Had- ley received all the credit. How the humble glazier received his first inspiration to design the instru- ment of so great use to mariners is an interesting story. One day, while replacing a pane of glass In a window of a house on the north side of Arch street, in Philadel- phia, opposite a pump, a girl, after filling her pail, placed it upon the sidewalk, Godfrey, on turning toward it, saw the sun reflected from the window on which he had been at work finto AL A the bucket of water, and his philo- We've shook dice together each| gophic mind seizing upon the Inc‘;dent Saturday Dight 1In years” pleaded was thus led to combine the plan of ;’hlne?s.l Af‘d what about that Sun-' gp ingtrument by which he could draw ay sncno with them and the Hooll: the sun down to the horizon by a 5“‘“5' ; contrivance incomparably superior to ‘There won't be any picnic,” assev-| any that had ever before been used erated Mary irritably. for the purpose of ascertaining angu- Nevertheless Phineas did manage to| lar measurements, meet his old friends by various sub- terfuges, and he carefully explained the situation to them. “The best woman in the world, Mike,” he told Flaherty. “But you “Phineas!
