I got sick. 1 still have half the cigars. “There is no use,” I cried in despair. Then the big idea came. ‘There is but one way,” 1 whispered, ah so hoarsely, and that is to see Mr. Clem- ens in person, alone, at his own home. Remember, T had been trail- ing him ten years. Reader do you know—not unless you are a detective —what it means to trail a man ten vears? . Do vou know how hungry one becomes? Can you imagine how many soles I wore out, not counting mv own? Can you by any manner of means call up a picture of what it costs in clothing, and wear and tear of nerves, and blood, and sinew, and bone, and tue? Some of my readers I am sure have waited for friend wife when she's heen shopping? This is heaven to what I endured. With wife it's different for one may slip in and take a drink. I couldn’t, T couldn't. In the first place I didn't drink. And had I been a drinking man, I wouldn't have dared to do it, because vou see, I'd been afraid he'd slip in another cafe and thus I'd miss him Never till my dyving day shall T | forget how T felt when I finally re- solved to visit Mr. Twain at his home. T remember the sweat just oozed from eery pour of my miserable body. I was positively slippery, the way you've seen heef at the butcher's in hot, clammy weather. I couldn't bear to touch myself. So with my feeble hands cJasping my manuscript to my concave chest, and while my poor, flabby calves twitched to the tune of St. Vitus' dance, I started one August morning. Like a felon 1 crept up the soft tar walk. Like some pest infested scoundrel I crawled up the stens leading to the massive doors of the residence. Why, do you know those doors looked like the 1id of a coffin? y really did, studded as they were with big nails— and heavens thero was the door plate—so much !%e a coffin plate. T rang the bell. The sweat started anew. Never in my mortal days had I suvposed » two dollar and a half door bell could make so much noise He bought it of Corbin. 1 felt like Oliver Twist when he asked, “Piease sir, 1 want some more.” Only I didn't ‘Now."” I chattered, “there will be something doing.”” There was.

Yes, sir, he had both calves in his big. bloody chops at once. I don't helieve that dog ever enjoyed himself so much before. T know he didn’t. He told me so. Not | in many words, but if actions ever spoke louder than words THAT dog had the vocabulary of a Shakespeare. Tt was awful. It “GNAWFUL,” if. you like the word better.

Talk about “GRIPS.” That ou secret societies and dog had all kinds of grips skinned a mile—not counting my calves. “Enough!” I finally yelled.

I panted, and at an opportune and inserting the handle be- tween the sofe bleeding calves be- longing to me, and the harsh, vellow teeth belonging to the dog “Dog 'r stick?"" drawled Mark. “Dog,” I4#gurgled. “Dunno what th’ dog is worth.

Now he is reported to be undecided whether to sacrifice the pumpkin and save the dog house, or let the pump- kin attain its growth and break down ! the dog house to get it out He deserves som« slight sympathy, perhaps, for in hard times one does not lightly rifice a pumpkin,,| which is food, nor destroy a dog i house, which is buildin® material. But | the greatest measure of sympathy must go out to Carlo. Consider the melancholy case of this humble and devoted creature.

The dancing masters of the coun- try have held their annual congress and they have formulated a program of reputable dances. A Baltimore dis- patch gives this interesting bit of in- formation: *Barred are the shimmie, tight holding, the lady’s arm clutched around the man’s neck with head rest- ing on his shoulder. the wriggle, the jiggle, the squirm and the exagger- ated jazz.” We are not so much surprised at the enforced departure of these and simi- lar dances of a crazy character as we have been all along surprised that no one has, during the period of their popularity, taken the trouble to mind folks that they had simply t: away from the Bowery and the cheap dance halls of New York the dances the were accustomed to and given them a Fifth avenue setting. Slum- ming parties years ago, in search of thrills which were strictly forbidden at home, laughed their heads off at| the peculiar round dances of the hab- itues of the public dance halls, and primly wondered how people could do such awful things. As we remember they sighed and declared the sight “interesting” and ‘“characteristic,” but their precious souls were never- theless all shriveled up and they talk- ed about it in whispers when they re- turned home. And now they are not going to dance these ‘‘interesting’ and “characteristic’” wriggles and jiggles and wiggles any more. Back they must go to the Bowery where they be- long. We note that the waltz as the daddies and mummies danced it long, long ago, is to be revived “to slow music and without variations what- ever” just as they have danced it this summer “at Newport, Bar Harbor and Narragansett.” Heavens what a desertion of the firesides is in store for us all! Things improving. Soon we shall sce the lancers and the quadrille drilling schools of excellent »arlar manners, the stately minuet, the very pinnacle of poetic grace, and then the jovous romp of money musk and the Virginia reel. Why won’t the dancing masters of the day let the voungsters have a real good time at the same time they are learning how to behave while in good soclety?
