He telophoned immedi- atley for Abdullan, his grand vizier,who came running with his tongue banging out. “‘Last night,” said the caliph, “T had a dream to the effect that all the married women in Bagdad threw themseives on their knees before meand bewailed their condition. You are responsible for the welfare of my subjects, and 1 want this thing stopped, and by the beard of the prophet if you don't put a stop to it T'll put a period to your existen: *‘Humbug!” replied Abdullah, “there is not one married woman in Bag- dad who would swap places with any ur married woman. Theyara a'l chroni kickers, but, nevertheless, there are some who are happy.” “Well, you find one and bring hLer here before the fivst of next month, or off goes your head under the civil sory- ice rules.” Abdullah supposed that in unearthing a happy married woman ho had th #oftest job in town,whereas it was harde than tracing a lost umbrella. The first call he made was on the caliph's own -wife, He supposed that she could not help being happy, but he vas surprised when he found that she was the most miserable of her sex: that for abject wretchedness she captured the entire bakery and some of the ad- joining buildin; She had discovered in her husband’s pistol pocket a lettor addressed to him and signed: *Your loving wootsy-tootsy Fatima.’ As Abdullah was leaving the place he met on the stairs Bridget Muldoon, the scrub iady. She had Chicago feet, and was not happy because her husband would not allow her to compete in a beauty show. We have not space to record lah’s failures to find* & happy married woman 1n Bagdad, He finally said to his own wife, where he thought he had a sure thing of it: “Emily, 1 supnose you are a happy womah, are you not?"” “Lmight be happy {fd only had & hus- band who would supply‘me with a few decent clothes tw eédr. This is the third fall I've worn: «this same bonnet. Verily, Abdullah, youwate no good,” ro- plied his loving \\'lhg, 4 Abdullah, perceiving thata great sor- row was gnawing at her heart, caused lhnl- onversation to qeif] pnmmlhul chan- nels, 'As the first of the tagfith was rapidly approaching Abdullgh’ hegan to listen to hear his own head drop into the basket with a nausedting reverberation. “Ull et you off this,time,” said* the caliph, “*bécause whila you were off in tho country I have discovered a happy married woman mysglffh Bagdad, “Impossible! T'vé - fsked them all, Who is ibis happy woman?” asked Ab- dullah. “Your own wife. She told me that she was always happy when you were out of town,” - The Famous Mining ‘Lunnel company is commencing work on a 100-ton concentrator, to be erected near the Famous tunnel, six miles from Aspen. e — Abdul- When Baby was sick, we gave her Castorls, ‘When sho was a Child, she cried for “astoria, When sho becatne Miss, sha clung to Castoria, When she had Children, sho gave them Castorig THE ANGEL SEAT. Detroit Free Press. “Don't forget to have the turkey and other things sent early, dear, so thatl may get the most of my preparations through with today, and have only the final touchos left over for tomorrow.™ Mrs, Wiliard'scheery faco looked over the top of the shining silver coffeo pot that stood at her right hana reflocting her features in the most grotesque varia- tions, but whether lengthened out to emaciation, or broadened toa Ilulicrons width the reflections usually the ame genial smile of kind-heartedness. That one bit of extravagance was a per- petual delight to her, satisfying her na- ture as only solid silver could have done. This bright little woman had a weak- ness for “real things," the indulg of which her husband's somewhat limited finances restricted. “Iam sure that wore mee one enjoys luxuries all the more for having to plan and economize in order to obtain them,” she was wont to remark with one of her con- tagious smiles, and an aftirmative nod of her head that carried the weight of con- viction with it. “Things easiiy obtained lose much of their importance in one's estimation, you kunow, and I am confi- dent that those who are in moderately comtortable circumstances get more real enjoyment out of life than those to whom cost signifies nothing. Mr. Willard came around to his wife's chair, and with one hand on the back of it bent down and kissed her. Though they had been marvied thirty years their love for each other had not aged a singlo day, and now their hearts were drawn closer by obno great, common sorrow. “Isn't it a deal of work and worry, dear, for just two of us®" he asked, so- licitously. ‘*‘Seeing that you have no help at present, can we not be quite as thankful with our ordinary good dinner as with these extra Thanksgiving dishes?" “You forget the angel, dear. We must have the regular Thanksgiving dinnor for the angel’s sake, and our own, too. I don't think 1 could be quite happy with any of my usual preparations left un- done.” As she spoke of the “angel” their eyes instinctively turned to the third, unoccu- pied seat at the table. For twenty years their dining table had never once been spread without this extra seat prepared for the unexpected guest. The prettiest pieces of china, a clean napkin and a fresh bouquet were always at the “‘angel’s”seat, in readiness for the possi- ble guest, and 1 doubt if the Willards would have relished a meal in their own home with this preparation left undone. 1t was to them as if a veritable angel oc- cupied the chair, a silent and perpetual blessing in their home, No,” answered her husband, and the shadow of . a memory crept into his eyes—they used to be stern eyes in the old days, whenever he was displeased, but a great grief had burned all sug- gostion of sternness out of them—*T have not forgotten the angel, or that it has been our custom to always have the scat occupied on feast days if at no other time; but.we have scarcely become set- tled in this strange city, and you have formed no acquaintances as yet, not even a washerwoman.© You would hardly care to invite your Chinese laundrymuan to sit there on Thanksgiving day? ™ 1 do not see how yon are going to manage it in 80 short a time. Nevertheless, T will manage it in some way, and the angel’s seat will be occupied tomorrow,” she returned brightly, adding: “And I shall prepare for my unknown guest as if it was to be my dearest friend. You will send the things early, will you not?” “Cortainly, my dear, since you desire it, and God grant that your kind, un- selfish doing for thisstranger guest may return to you fraught with rich bles ing. You always say that, or something like it,” she laughed, brightly. *As if I did not get my recompenso in the pleasure these guests afford me, and vou know you are as tly interested in this pretty little conceit of—of—the dear child’s"—her,voice dropped almost to a whisper, and grew suddenly trem- ulous with tenderness that choked her utterance so that the sentence remained unfinished, bat he knew all that was in her heart to say quite as well as if she had said it. Beading quickly he dvow her head to his bosom and dropped fond kisses of sympathy on her forehead, her eyes and her upraised lips, with all the tender- ness of a lover, this man beyond middle- age with the white threads in his hair outyumbering the darker ones two to one, Her arms crept up and clasped about his neck. $She gave one quick, convul- sive sob, and the sigh accompanying it formed this plaint: 0, Richard, if we couldonly find her, our lost one,” Ves, dear, some time we replied, and hurried away lest heshould be tempted to reveal s secret hope that they were very n their daughter in this far west land and would surely find her soon; but knowing how fallacious are all expectations aside from absolute certainty he refrained from kindling anticipations that might never be fui- filled. Yes, these was a shadow in the Wil- lard home. Is there ever a home of thirty years’ establishment without its shadow, 1 wounder? The world knew nothing of this secret sorvow, for Mrs. Willard was s0 bright and cheerful that none suspected the grief close gnarded within the chamber of her heart; even her husband was not often permitted to behold its reflection in her face. Ten years her sorrow had been an ever pres- ent companion, and yot her eyes looked only laughter and huppiness into othe eyes. Knowing that human natur tiens from gloom and distress, she ac- cepted this inevitable truism “Laugh, and the world laughs with you, Weep, and you weep alon and gave the world no opportunity to share her grief, butextended with lavish gonerosity the sunshine of joyous mn- sellishness to all who were s0 fortunate as to come within her happy influence. Mrs. Willard did not question her husband’s reason for this sudden and unexpected removal to San Francisco. She seldom sought his confidence, well knowing that he would offer it when it was best she should share it with him. When he informed her that “important matters” called him to California she accepted his assertion without inguir and here they were in a sunny little cof tage on one of the many hills sloping down to the city's business center. What a delight these hills, and the novelty of them, were to her, Liftihg every habitas tion above its lh-lgh\ml‘ and obstructing the view of non The complete cable car system with which San Francisco is 80 abundantly supplied obviates the dis- aygrecarle features of these numberloss hills. Mrs. Willard finished her breakfast in pensive meditation after her husband's departure. She was ususlly more de- liberate than he, whose business often shall,” he hurried him: but this morning when she had so many extra duties to perform in order to make ready the dinner for the morrow,of which an unknown and yot an uninvited guest was to partake, she sonmed to have quite forgotten the lapse of time, and L'ngercd at the table even longor than was her custom. Tho kitten strotchod itsolf lazily on tho rug in front of the grate, without attracting hor attention. There was al- ways a kitten in Mrs. Willard's home, a wray kitten with a white ring around its neck and white feet, whon such an one could be obtained, because it was a kit- ten marked thus that little Elsie had loved in the long ago, and whatever had once been dear to Klsie's heart was d in her mothor's oyes ever after. ho little dining room is very much like the one in the home of Elsie'schild- hood, ™ she mused, as hor eyes wandered about its sunny intorior. “It really scoms as if she might step in at any moment and give me a regular school- 1 then drop down on the rug besido Pattymite.” Flsie's kittens had all beannamed Pattymite, and the name descended to each of the family i ective of kex, during the ten vears of her absence. At that moment there camo a shacp little ring at the door bell and Mrs. Willard hastened to answer it. There is as much charactor in the ring of a door bell as in the clasp of a hand, and the ring of Mrv. Willard's door boll on that particular morning had ‘*business” in its summons. “‘He hasn't had time to order the gro- cories yot, and if he had, they would be delivered at the side entrance,” she thought, speculatively. It was a little fellow, not over 9 years of age, who stood on the dm»rnlefi) with a basket on his arm nearly as large as himself. Through the tattered rim of his bat looked a pairof the keenest, widest-awake eyes that Mrs. Willard had ever seen in so small a specimen of humanity, alert, watchful eyes they were, with clear, honest depths to them that gave you glimpses down into the bov's affectionate heart. Somehow from the moment that her eyes looked into his, her motherly heart opened and took him right in, big bas- ket, patched jucket, tatteved hat and all. One might well call it a silent con- quest, for as yet he had not spoken, and had actually stepped into her heart and taken possession of it without so much as an introduction; but then he was just the bright, breezy kind of a boy that people cannot help loving. The moment that Mrs. Willard ap- peared at the door his hand flew up to his hat in order to execute a polite bow, which he had practiced before his mother many times: but his thumb shot through the torn place, and he only suc- ceeded in tipping a partof the tattered rim without any visible effect on the re- mainder of his hat, at which they both laughed, and she drew him into the pleasant dining room before he had made his errand known. “The wind blows so cold out of doors this morning,” she explained my dear, what is it? for sale “Yes, marm, if you are tho lady who's going to have an angel dine with her to- morrow,” he replied, darting quick, in- quisitive glances about the room. *Who told you about the angel?” she asked, taking notice that the child spoke quite correctly, and secmed a perfect little gentleman. “a gentleman asked me if my flowers were for sale, and when | told him ‘yes, he said that if I would go to No. 97 Post street the lady who expected an angel to dine with her tomorrow would buy what flowers she needed of me, and—please, marm, I'm awful curious ‘bout the angel. I8 it to be a really, traly one?" He had placed his basket on the rug beside Pattymite on entering the room, and now stood before her as tall as his 9 years would permit, his hat in his hand and his face aglow with curious expec- pectancy. From the first her empty mother-arms had been aching to get the child into them. She now drew him to her side and sald, with a’ sudden huskiness in her voic “Give me a kiss, my dear, and you shall be the angel while 1 tell you how it came to pass, and all about it,” At which he flung his arms about her neck and kissed her with such impetu- osity that she nearly lost her breatn. *“Ther he exclaimed, flushed and happy over the experiment. Mrs, Willard's eyes were full of lov- ing light as she placed him in the “angel’s seat” at tho table, and heaped his plate with dainties such as children like best, making two or three flying trips to the puntry for that purpose, and then, while he disposed of the food with a hungry boy's keen relish, she told him of the little girl whom God had sent into her Lome nearly thirty years before, Have you heard of the bible story?” she asked ‘in the midst of her recital. “Yes, indeed, my mamma has told it to me a mauy times,” he replied, earn- estly, “and [ am quite well acquainted with Jesus and his disciples, John and Peter, and the others, you know.” “*And yon have, no doubt, heard of entertaining angels unawares?” she questioned. *0, yos. mamma told Ave they the kind of ter-tain?" It was a desperate struggle, but he conquered the big word, just as he meant to conquer all the obstacles of life. Yes, my dear,” she veplied, “and this is how we came to stari the pretty custom. My littlo daughter’s Sanday school teacher told her the story about ‘ontertaining angebs,” and when she came home she wunted to keep a seat at our table ready for the angel who might come when least vxpw'lml. for she thought it would not seem respectful if we were not always ready. \'un are the angel this morning, my d At which the small face gn,\v quite thoughtful. “1 don’t believe that T could think a wicked thing today after belng your angel for a little while this worning,” he said carnestly.

I was wondering how I was to get my guest for tomorrow when you came; but | have thought it all out now.

Why, of eourse, it ilsie, the lost daughter. What reason could have brought Mr. Willard vo California, when his business interests were all in Ohio, but for this very purpose?
