INFORMATION OF THE PUBLIC| (Copyright, 1913, by Associated Literary Press) George Verner entered a crowded surface car and found the last unoc- cupled seat. It chanced to be directly behind a very young woman and an infant. Verner attempted to become inter- ested in his paper, but the profile of the girl ahead of him stole his; glances with every turn of her She was very young, very mother would have known that baby would rest more comfortably the easy relaxation of her arms. Ver- ner remembered the fearful, breath- less clutch with which he had first | held his sister’s baby, but gradually | that feeling of holding & breakable | toy had left him. There was that same fear in the | eyes of the young girl ahead of Mm,| and Verner knew that she was living | in momentary dread of the child fall- ing to pleces in her arms. He was beginning to sense the strain of her tense attitude when the car came to a stop. “Car ahead!” yelled the conductor. The passengers, in various stages of peevishness, gathered themselves and their belongings and prepared to follow the conductor’s bidding. Not so with the woman and the baby. She cast one startled glance at | the outgoing passengers, and then her eyes met Verner's. There was posi- tive tragedy in their depths. Then it was that Verner saw the big suit case on the floor beside her. “How did she manage to get on the car it she couldn't get off with a| suit case and a baby?” Verner asked himself while he raised his cap and addressed her. “If you will permit me—I will car- Sy “Oh—if you would be so kind,” she gasped in a frightened little voice, | and before Verner realized it she had | put the badby in his arms and vul about to pick up the suit case. “1 am more used to this,” she said with & half blush, “I can easily take both,” Vlrnor| told her as he swung the tiny infant against one big shoulder and took the | suit case from her. “Her eyes are decidedly coquettish for a young mother,” was his inward | comment as he helped her into the | car ahead. He found it within his ! sonsclouspess to - condemn .married | | ! 1f You WIIl Permit Me, | Wil Carry— | 8IFts, “oven “thoufh Theéy hid shaded ! gray eyes and one elusive dimple. | When he had put her comfortably | into another seat in the car ahead she made room for him beside her | and sent up a smile into Verners | eyes. Although he felt himself to be treading on dangerous ground, he ac- cepted the offered seat. His destina- tion was a few blocks beyond and he felt that his heart could not be hope- lessly damaged in so short a time. He sighed as he wondered who the man | might be who called this little beauty his own. “You seem perfectly at home with babies,” the girl remarked by way of breaking a more or less awkward silence. “I bave three of my own,” Verner told her in a half jesting manner, and wondered afterward why he wanted ilo convey that impression, “Oh.” was all the girl sald, but her tone was noticeably colder, her atti- tude more aloof. The girl's frigidity spurred on the man’s imagination. He talked glibly of a beautiful wife and children whom he had never seen, of a home he had never known. An inscrutable . smile, not unlike that of the Mona Lisa, hovered over the young woman's eyes and lips. Verner wondered whether or not she was believing him. A sense of irritation stole over him at the mockery in her eyes, and when |luduuuuon drew near he was halt “Is Bliggins & man of his wend?™ “Uufortunately so. Whenever he sings “TLaudlcrd, Ml the Flowing Bowl!" or |T Won't Go Home Till Morning!" he absolutely insists on making good.” Alligators’ Eggs Edible.

Before they had made one turn of the room he knew that the little mother was among the guests and that she was popular with a number of cavaliers. The stately beauty felt Verner's arms stiffen around her waist and won-| dered at his sudden lack of interest in her breezy conversation. She might be a widow, was the thought uppermost in Verner's mind, ' but the brilliance of her costume and the existence of the tiny infant prac- tically denied this. | Together with his condemnation of married flirts Verner felt irritated and jealous because of the men who dangled over the girl's dance order. He avolded cAtching her eye as long as he could, but when she danced so close to him that he saw the mockery | in her expression and her nod to him ’ he could only return her greeting. After that Verner found that he was being introduced to her, “The ninth and seventeenth dances are leap year waltses, Mr. Verner,”, she said, looking laughingly into his eyes. “May I please have both of them?” “You may it I may have two oth- ers,” he put in quickly. She blushed swiftly and handed Verner her card. “Have you & dance left, Miss Gregory?” another moth about the candle questioned the girl. Verner's startled, interrogatl eyes searched the girl's face, and she laughed. “You are not married—then?” he questioned without regard for the amused listeners. “Not any more than you are, Mr. ! Verner.” She glanced at him from beneath her lashes. “You know—I didn’t believe, even for a moment, that you had three kiddies.” Verner had the grace to blush. “Just the same,’ he-told .her laugh- 1gly, “you deliberately tried to palm that baby off as yours.” “I did not,” she retorted quickly. “You took it entirely for granted. 1 was merely carrying my brother’s baby over to my home and somebody | helped me both on and off the car. | Of course—" she paused and glanced | shyly at Verner—"none of us even | dreamed of my having to change “And yet,” he looked deep into her “4t was fortunate—in this oase, | wasn't 1t?” He waited with laugbter in his eyes but a compelling note in his voice. | Allce Gregory looked up and the dimple came inte play. “Perhaps it was,” she sald. l Fools and Thelr Bets. The story recently printed that a fool, to win a bet, put a billiard ball . in his mouth, and it took a surgical | operation and the removal of five teeth to get it out, reminds Father | Beck of a simpleton he once knew whose first name was John. One day Jobn was with some girls who were having fun putting hen's eggs in their mouths, and John declared that he ;eoull put a goose egg in his mouth, and the girls dared him to. John was ibl‘l". and wouldn't take a dare, and by dint of perseverance he got the 'goose egg in, but when he tried to ‘ take it out it wouldn't come, and when ,he was threatened with lockiaw, the girls got scared and hustled John off to a doctor. The doctor, after diag- inosing the case, doubled up his fist ‘and with an under cut belted Johm ,one on the chin. John was relleved, ‘but the egg never amounted to much A8 & goose afterward. We are sorry !to relate, says Father Beck, that the {experience did not do much good in |curing John of the silly habit.

HANDLING THE CASH By LAWRENCE ALFRED CLAY. Copyi 915, by cClure Newspa- They had been married six months -George Curtiss and Kitty Cline. All bhad gone well, when one afternoon Kitty's Aunt Prue came visiting. She hadn't seen the young wife since her breath and getting a good toe hold, she sald: “And mow I want to ask about George: o "l:ne a filnd and loving husband? “Why, Aunt Prue, George is just the best man in this world!” was the enthusiastic reply. “How much salary does he ge “Twenty-five per week.” “And how much do you save per| week?" “Save? Why, anything as yet.” “Then it's wuss than I thought far —far wuss. Who handles the money”" “Why, George does, of course.” “That's it—that's it! He handles the money and does what he pleases with it. It is no wonder.” “But doesn’t the husband always save the money?” “He does where the wife is an idiot. Lord alive, child, any wife is| five times as capable of handling the house money as the husband. We never should have been worth a hun- dred- dollars if I hadn't taken the money matter into my own hands.” When the subject was changed the wife found herself thinking it would be very nice to handle the money, but was almost sure the husband £y we haven't saved with a surprise for her. It happened he had heard that Aunt Prue was at the house that afternoon, and know- ing her ideas on finance he suspected. “Kitty, I've been thinking things over today.” “What things?" “Don't you think you could make my salary go further than I do?” “Yes, I do, but—" “Then I'll turn it over to you for the next three months.” “You are so good, George.” “You can run the house and every- thing.” “Why, I surely thought you would object.” “But. you see I don’t. I have saved $50 in the last six months, though I was keeping it et. 1 guess, how: ever, vou can my record and not try very hard “I shall surprise rou. de She surpriwd him o As there were only two of them, he had been buying porterhouse steak. For dinner thoy now had a round, and seeing that she was a tenderfoot the butcher had charged her th» same price. The grocer “weiched her sugar and butter short, and there was a skimping of potatoes, In two weeks, however. the wife had manag:d to save $11, and then Aunt Prue came again. “You don’t want to put your mone in the bank.” said the old lady. gend for one of sewing maehines that are a You can surciy save “hose seco and West.

Never it you can help it. I would not sav any- thing to George about it if 1 were you.” During the last month of the three the husband looked so starved and anxious that the wife expected to hear him say any day that he must turn to barks and roots to get enoush to fill up on, but he carried the thing through like a patriot. “Well, the twelve weeks arc up, said the husband one evening. “And 1 think T can show you that I am a bit of a financler,” was the proud reply. The sewing machine had been brought over that afternoon, and the husband was led into its presence, “How much?" “Only fifteen dollars.” “I know of three second-hand ma- chines here in town that you can buy at five dollars each, but never mind that.” ‘Here is some silver stoc Prue bought for me" S “Then she ousht to give you vour money back, for that swindle “:n; u—| posed years ago " “Oh, Georze. have I been sw indled “Most surely, but what else” | “I bought two seashore lots." | “l heard vou bad and looked the up.
