In the course of a fow days the rich aunt passed away, the the Ore and the consequent ex- chetacnt having been too much for her The funeral that wed was entirely in keeping with her th and station in society. Then the young people undertook the task of consoling each other. It was entirely to the liking of M. Reichard, who did his best to reileve the mind of his charming young flanoae. In the proz- ress of his courtship he sought In every way to be divorting and entertaining. He told the young woman many stories of his daily affairs, and finally recalied tho incident of the wiliard ball and his funny mlsoue. The story did not lose any of its effect in his relation of tt, and no detall up to the time it bounced out ot the window was omitted.

The inference followed that the billiamt ball had frightened the pet Angora cat, who had in turn upset the lamp, which set fre to the house and caused the firemen to Invade the place and so shock the maiden aunt that her death was the outcome of It all. It was an unbroken chaln of elreum- stantla! evidence, The miscue was the provoking cause of It all, The miscue was committe’ by M. Relchard, and logically it followed that M. Relchard was responsible for the death of tho beloved maiden aunt. ‘The charming niece broke off the en- gAgement out of hand in spite of the protestations of M, Reichard. who 1s Rot even left. the consolation of of playing billiards, as he vows he wil again ouch a’ cue unless the young” woman forgives him for his bad play.

It Is @ princely gift, and Greatsinger offers it In a princely manner, aud the public pays. What could be nicer? Now, no man with a heart (not a Greatsinger heart, of course, but an or- dinary human cardiac) will deny that $45,000 would come as a godsend to these poor motormen and conductors and their familles. No one but has been stirred to pity at sight of the motorman on whose vigilance so many lives hang standing at the front of his car, hour after hour, in bitter cold, sleet, snow or rain, unprotected by even @ filmsy gi partition.
