Daddy held up a warning finger. *Remember, this i to be what you wanted & funny story. Well to begin with, dogs used to whistle, something like mock ingbirds, and they were very playful. “One day two men began chasing them, and they began to run. “While the mén were chasing them very hard and the dogs were play fully dodging them great drops of rain began to fall. “And then sheets of rain came down, and the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared, and there was an awful time. Then the two men began run ning toward a great big boatlike thing that looked very queer because boats do look queer on dry land. “The men kept running toward this boat, and now the dogs chased afte: them instead of the men chasing the dogs. But the men were running swiftly as though they were frightened, and when they arrived at the boat they opened the door, ran in and slammed the great door closed. right in the noses of the Ppoor scared doggies. “They shivered and whined and whistled, but there was really no use ot thelr doing that. Then the rain came down in such torrents that the pup dogs Tan up on a high hill to keep from being drowned. “Then wonder of wonders! The big boat began floating and floated right past the tall hill where the poor doggies were whimpering, and they fumped Off the top of the hill right onto the top of the boat, which was roofed over like a house. “And there the poor little things remained for forty days and forty long dark nights, and all this time they didn’t bave anything to eat enly what a dove brought them from the inside of the great boat. “But after awhile the rain stopped, and the big boat settied upon the tip top of a high mountain, and then the poor little doggies crawied off the root down where all the other animals were. They didn't run away now when the two men who had chased them picked them up and fed them with warm milk. J. B. STREATER.

Two Kinds of Rough l_)_iamond The author sat in his study dancing the characters of his imagination, as a Punch and Judy showman sits under his mimie stage working his puppets, when a card was sent up to him bear- ing the name John Remington. Now, John Remington was the name the author had used in his last novel He knew no real person of that name, for he had found the name in a tele- phone directory. Why had this person called to see him? He was curious to learn. He directed that he be shown into his study. The imaginary John Remington, hero of “An Uncut Diamond,” was a bluff but honest countryman who had mar- ried the daughter of a farmer. They had quarreled soon after the wedding. and the wife had left ber husband to g0 to the city to make her own ltving. When the real John Remington en- tered he appeared to the novelist to be of that class from which the character had been taken. “I'm not goin’ to take up your time, sir,” sald the man, “or beat about the bush. It's no concern of mine how you got hold of my story or what in- ) fluenced you as to the version you gave of it in your movel. You made me out a brute, and T suppose I am one. It's my misfortune to bhave been made that way, What 1 want t8 know is where I can find my wife.” The novelist gathered that to a co- incidence in name and another in hav- ing hit on an actual story (or some thing like it) for the subject matter of his novel this man’s call was due. “You say that I have pictured you as a brute. Wherein, may I ask, have I made you brutal? “Well, first off, 1 should bave give in as soon as I got married. There's no use of a husband tryln' to have his way with his wife. It's not in reason.” ‘“Why so?” “'Cause there’'s no reason in a wo- man. She ain’t made that way.” “How Is she made?” “Why, jest as you made Peggy. Only since you didn’t get the whole story there's lots o’ things you left out.” “Name some of them.” “Well, Peg never could learn that if a little thing annoyed me ahe’d better let it alone. 8he’d keep on doln’ it jest the same as if 1 hadn't shown ber a | dozen times that it annoyed me. Then | she'd give up to me in a beap o' small | things that I didn’t set store by, then | come down on me for ome big thing | that was wmighty important. When 1 balked she would throw up at me all | the ‘sacrifices’ she bad made for me. mentionin’ things I hadn’t wanted.” “Why, then, do you couskler ydur self brutal in having objected to this did & to bome, and with a venge ance.” “Mr. Remington,” said the author after another pause, “I owe you an apology for having told your story wrong.” “Just so.” “And 1 owe myself an apology for baving spent a year and a half telling it and the public an apology for hav- | ing taken up its time reading a lot of rot. I don’t know where your wite is, but i you'll give me what clew you have, if any, I'll help you find her.” “That's fair enough. 1 always like to see a man own up when he’s in the wrong." Me. Remingtun had a clew which he gave to the novelist, who eventually found the rough diamond’s wife. There was another dialogue in the former's study in which he essayed to prove to her that her husband would be an | easy man thereafter to live with, and she returned to him. Later Mr. Remington made the au- thor another call, “Y came to tell you 1 got my own way, after all,” he said. “How did you do it?" “My wife's so confounded contrary that when I offered to give in to her she wouldn't have it.” Self Accused By M. QUAD Copyright, 194, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate. 1 had been practicing law in the town of Lancaster for about four years | When James Higgins, myggchant, was murdered. According to the testimony of his wife, they were aroused at mid- | night by a noise downstairs, and he ! went down to fnvestigate.

He didn’t admit bis gullt, but at the same time he didn't deny it with the warmth expected of an innocent man. It was an accident altogether that | made a series of dis- coveries. This man planuned with an- other to break open the passenger depot and rob the safe. They had been surprised in their work by a tramp, and tbe hostler was afraid to talk to me or any one eise of the mur- der case for fear of being found out in the lesser crime.
