Mr. Cleavei opened his eyes wide, and then, with a broad grin, gently laid the forefinger of his right hand on the risht si(ie of nis JPP16 nose- "Polly." he shouted, "here's Mr. Dex ter wants to know how you are!" "Oh, I'm a11 right," said Polly, mak jn her appearance at the door, and looking down upon the two men. "And how do yer find yourself, Mr. Dexter V In his confusion Thomas Dexter re plied : "I'm ns well as can be expected, Polly." An answer which sent her into fits of laughter. Sow this laughter was sweet music 5a Thomas Dexter's ears, and Polly Cleaver a vision of loveliness in his ryes. Her hair was hanging loose, her boots were down at heel, and she was in a general state of untidiness, but Venus herself in negligee could not tare more completely enthralled him. Polly continued to laugh, holding her fides, and presently tottered down a step or two, and cried: Ketch rue, Mr. Dexter, or I shall fall." He nothing loath, caught her to his leart, which went a. thousand a min ute. Polly had not laid in his arms as long as she could count three before she knew what was the matter with him. These inspirations of knowledge are woman's peculiar gift. "I thought," she simpered, looking up into Thomas Dexter's face, without at tempting to release herself from his embrace, "that yer might be going to ask me to go to church with yer." "That's ju? what I should like to ask yer. Polly," said Thomas Dexter. - "Well, then," exclaimed Mr. Cleaver, while Tolly laughed immoderately, 'arsk her, and we'll get the wedding dress made if you give us the money for it." Something like match-making, this. Striking the nail on the head; no shilly shallying. Sudden as it was. it accorded with Thomas Dexter's humor. "I don't mind doing that," he re sponded, holding Polly tight. "What do you say, Polly?" What do you say, Mr. Dexter?" as';ed Poliy, fencing. She was inclined to look upon the whole affair as a joke, thoughthe pros pect of the present of the wedding dress had caught her fancy, 'I say, will ytr have me, Polly?" 'I doa't mind.'- answered Polly, cas ing in wonder at her ardent lover, add ing quickly, "if you're not jokins with me." "He'd better not" said Mr. Cleaver, spitting in the palm of his right hand and rubbing that and the palm of his left together at action which every Briton understands. "If he makes a fool of my Polly I'll have it out of him." "You shut up, father," exclaimed Polly. "I'm old enough to take care of myself." "What!" cried 1 nomas Dexter, point ing jto Polly, who had released herself and was now standing a little apart from him. "Make a fool of a gal like that! What do you take me for?" "Wait a bit," said Polly; "I'm con sidering." There was the new dress; there was the excitement of a wedding; there was the novelty of getting married. Although she had had euy number of lovers, not one had ever asked her to marry him. "Do you mean," inquired she, plant ing h;r two fists in her sides, "without any gamnorj, that yer want ter marry me?" "That's the way to put it," said Mr. Cleaver, with approving nods. "It's exactly what I do mean," said Thomas Dexter, in an imploring tone, as though scarcely daring to hope Uiat such bliss could fall to' his share. "If you say yes I shall be the happiest wan in Clare Market." "I'd like to see the man. as'd dispute It," said Mr. Cleaver. "Whoever gets my Polly gets a treasure." "You needn't shove your spok In, father. Mr. Dexter knows all about me; he wasn't born yesterday." "That's true, Polly," said Thomas texter, somewhat ruefully. "I'm a good bit tlder than you." "Oh, that don't make no difference," said Polly, scratching her head. "Yer won't cry off, will yer J You'll give me a dress?" . "I'll give yer two," said Thomas Dex ter, eagerly. v "I'll take 'em; I ain't proud. And as you're serious as all that about It I'll have yer. Give us a kiss." He save her a dozen, and while this was going on Mr. Cleaver sat on the stairs and shed tears, which he con quered to be the regulation duty of a father, especially of the father of such a girl as Poliy. "There, that's enough," said Polly, r ! Thomas Dexter away. "Yop're r iniplofi me ail over. You'd best make r -H'rif scarce, you and father, while I " ly myself a bit." - - : said Mr. Cleaver, dab- k'u'.-s 't$ t'v.vs with A w'vtfrd ijiUflSrey- THE SLUMS. chief, "you've got the price of a pirn about yer. The proper thing to do is to wet the match." "I've no objection," said infatuated I Thomas Dexter. "Come alonsr. then." said Mr. Cleaver, seizing Thomas Dexter and hurrying him downstairs; "we'll drink Polly's health." "Stop a minute," cried Polly; "I'll Jine yer. If anybody' ought to be in this it's me." How many times they drank Polly's health and how many healths they drank after Polly had been sufficiently toasted is not easy to say. What Thomas Dexter had good cause to remember was that he rose the next morning with a splitting headache, and that three weeks afterward he and They lived together for just two lhat, under Providence, he is the prn.ci months, and then they parted. The Pl means of supplying them with plain truth is that Poliy ran away. their daily bread. If they have a spark When Thomas Dexter awoke from his dream and discovered his mistake he tried to make the best of it. He remonstrated and argued with Polly, 'but his remonstances were thrown away upon her, and her argu ments were stronger than his-consist-mg of anything in the hardware line she could lay her hands on. She was at once incorrigible and honest. "I was never cut out for a married woman," she said. She had old acquaintances whom she would not give up "for the best man that ever wore shoe leather." Among these acquaintances was Holy Joe, a costermonger, so called because oe was in the hfibit of making an open scoff of religion. "I've made a bad bargain,' sighed Thomas Dexter. He did not mourn long. Now that lis eyes were opened, his fear was that .'oily would come back from time to time, and make his life intolerable". Her father made many efforts to in duce her tof extract money from her husband, but sho would not listen to -ini. ' Then Mr. Cleaver endeavored to ob- ain a hold on Thomas Dexter by going o him and reviling Polly, but Mr. exter would have nothing to do with iin. The end of Mr. Cleaver was that .e died of a day's work. In the course of two or three years "nomas Dexter almost forgot Polly en irely, almost forgot that be had ever een married, almost forgot that he ad ever been in love. He could undoubtedly have been re used by law from the yoke of matrl tony had he sued for a 'divorce, but .c would not trouble himself. From that tinieforward he thought o more of women.' A seal was put ion his romance, in its sentimental ipect, which was never to be re .oved. .. CHAPTER III. A Little Pretender. As much as is necessary to be known l Thomas Dexter's early history be- g disclosed, Little Make-Believe .aims attention. Come, then, into the light, flower of he gutter, and show yourself to unac ustomed eyes.

To grace such as you by comparing ou to a flower may excite ridicule. . very weed in appearance, whose ppearance mars the loveliness. of the .are'en. ' Nevertheless, you- began as great ouls began, and there were In yod ossibilities of worthy things which light one day have . ripened into eaury. Ko time, however, for idle specula tion. In the midst olf a world of shams you stand clearly out, a stern fact. It is the fashion with many to call you a problem, and though you will hardly believe yourself to be of importance, you are, in the aggregate, a most formidable figure in the social system of to-day. At all events she was not an indo lent creature; she worked, being, like Thomas Dexter, a general dealer. But her business was much more circumscribed than his, and lay in quite a different direction. She dealt only in one article, being brimstonely conservative; thaf article was matches. One half-penny a box. Or a farthing. Or anything you chose to give her. A gentleman once gave her sixpence for a box, and when she said, with a shake of her head, "I ain't got no change, -sir," he told her that he did not want any, and walked away. This was so wonderful an event that she talked of It for months afterward, and would often conjure up Imaginary st$p&U'?R t& teat&mr? feasts. Sometimes she had no matches to sell. Then she went about pretending. But, as you alrerdy know, she did that at other tlmesj as well. She had a father, who was such a favorite with publicans and policemen that they very rarely let him out of their sight. v They played with him as they would have played at trap, bat and ball. From publican to policeman, when the publican was done with him, and from policeman -to publican, when the police man was done with him, was as regu larly to be depended on as the chang ing of day into night and night into day. Which suggests a comparison be tween Little Make-Believe's father and the earth, the observable difference be ing that when Little Make-Believe's father turned round on his axis it was with a more eccentric motion than wo attribute to the earth, uenerauy in his movements, and especially when the publican passed him on to the po liceman, mathematical niceties were conspicuous by their absence. W7hen the policeman passed him back to the publican he exhibited a more improved method, which, as a rule, lasted no longer than an hour. - Speaking in a comprehensive sense, with a wide application in view, pub licans and policemen would be very badly off were it not for Little Make Believe's father. Half of them would have to shut up shop, for it is a fact or gramuae iu xuein mey v""t j lwn upon their knees every night of their lives and thank Cod for sending them Little Make-Believe's father. She had no mother. Perhaps she ought to have thanked God for that. Notwithstanding the fondues of pub licans and policemen for her father, Little Make-Believe did not live alone. She had a sister, a year and a half younger than herself. This sister's name was originally Sarah Anne. Now, by a singularly happy twist, Little Make-Believe had invested this somewhat plebeian name 'with quite an- aristocratic flavor. She called her sister Saranne. Beat that, if you can, you Smiths and you Swythes. 'It is a fact that Little Make-Believe was always pretending and living for a great portion of her time an inner life, as it were; she did not envy the Queen. There was one advantage in having a father. It devolved or him to pro vide a home for his children. This home, in the matter of rent, cost him on an average about eighteen pence a week, which he sometimes laid and sometimes didn t. ueueiany laid and sometimes didn't. It was invariably either at the very top or the very bottom of the house; lever in the middle. Now it was a garret, now a cellar. At the present time it was a cellar. Having provided this home, be pro vided nothing else. That was Little Make-Believe's af fair. He hired a roof for his daughters to sleep under, and then, metaphor ally, he washed his hands of them. Otherwise, he seldom washed his hands. But, although he gave nis cniiaren roof, by a strange oversight he did uot give them a bed. The builder did that -ihe bare boards. Saranne was a beautiful child, with a lovely mouth, curly hair, large gray, wistful eyes, and a skin as smooth as new velvet. When she was a baby, another baby, a few months older than herself, who .vas fond of carrying her about, let her all downstairs, and she had hurt her ipine. She grew up very delicate and was 'early always lying on the boards of he cellar, or the garret, as the case xiappened to.be, resting' herself into ctrpno-th. rrM. .o Tsuio ATnfcp-RpHeve's strict I -.nmv tho insniration of which she XUi3 T1 tl3 ,a AevWeii from a friend who hf.d I een kind to her for a little wiine, ana im mio-ht have remained her rriena ..ad not death claimed him.

German papers report that a new an aesthetic juice has been discovered in Japan, the product of a plant grow ing in that empire. This anaesthetic has been called scopolamine, and is said to be superior in its effects to all other articles of this kind. It is ad- ministered hypodermically and pro- iTuces a deep sleep lasting from eight to nine hours. It is claimed that it does not produce the slightest ill. after effects. In the novel method of electric weld ing of a Berlin firm, the heat applied is evolved by an electric arc formed between the working piece and a car bon electrode at the place where the weld is to be made. A relatively small electric generator is used with a storage battery connected up in a parallel, and the carbon, fixed in the holder, Is readily shifted as desired. The great heat melts both the working piece and the metal to be welded in suring an intimate juncture. Mr. F. A. Lucas, of the Brooklyn Institute Museum, who has made a special study. of whales in Newfound land, says that the average length of a full-grown sulphur-bottom whale is just under eighty feet. This estimate disregards the . exaggerated reports sometimes spread by sailors, and is based On actual measurements of many individual specimens. There seems to be credible accounts of whales reaching a length of from eighty-five to ninety-five feet, but Mr. Lucas did not see any of that size. Several lead-boring insect larvae are now known. In Australia, for a num ber of years, perforations have been noticed in the lead covering of tele graph cables suspended from poles by twisted steel wire.- and as these have given trouble in the season of tnunder storms they have been attrib uted to electricity. An investigation recently showed holes In the lead up to a quarter of an inch in size, as many as fourteen being discovered in a length of sixteen inches. The little black insects (bostrycus jesuica) were found, and have been watched at seeming to be t0 tions of the wire under the lead. Other insects bore through lead toes cape from confinement. A LEARNED PASTOR Keen Wit of a Welshman Won a Good Uerth For Him. A congregation in Connecticut had lost their pastor, and were desirous of fillins his nlace. But their last min- later had been 8eif.taught. and the aristocracy to wit, the deacons, etc I stipulated that the new minister should have a classical education. In orjjeP t0 De ,ure 0f their man, the bacons agreed to let applicants preach a sermon on trial. The living was r0od. consequently trial sermons were tne order of the day. But as the beacons said, they knew an educated man from a duffer, so the living re- niained vacant. At last a Welshman heard of the vacancy, but he Was less learned than the one who had left; Btni, he determined to try. The day was arranged, the appointed minute arrived, and the candidate mounted into the pulpit. He got well Cn in his sermon, when he suddenly recollected that he was expected to show his learning. "Mv friends." he said. "I will now I f nuote you a passage in Greek."

" In Fit Array. Talk as one will on the vanity of clothes, the consciousness of being well dressed has something of moral force in it. "Brush your hair and thincs won't look so bad," was the wise counsel given, by a friend to a woman whose husband had lost his money." The little child In Mr. E. J. Hardy's "Manners Makyth Man" hit on this great truth when she replied to her mother who was reproving her. "O Katie, why can't you be a good little girl? See Juiia, now; how nic ehs is. Why can't you be as good as she?" "P'r-'aps I could, mamma," answered Katie, "if my dress lia:d little pluk tows all over it,", '' STYLE IN WRITING . ; ( One's Tante For Good English Not Spoiled by Reading Newspapers. President Woodrow Wilson, like the Presidents of Harvard and Yale, has discovered that a large proportion of college graduates are-incapable of ex pressing their thoughts in their own or any other language. Incidentally, he points out the ab surdity of a certain criticism which is based on a failure to understand that language is but a means to an end. "It is the fashion among a certain class to rather sneer at what they are pleased to call 'newspaper English These gentlemen should look at home before committing themselves, and remedy their own shortcomings and their laboriously correct style of writ ing. I think the English used in news, paper articles is remarkably good. It is generally terse and clear and right to the point, and tells in a. simple way exactly what the writer wants to say. It is most surprising to me to under stand how the reporters, writing as they do so hurriedly and under such great pressure, are able to write so well. None need be afraid of spoiling their taste for good English by read ing newspapers. The articles are al most always delightfully free from stiltedness and trite conventionality, which is more than can be said of the average collegian's effusions." As a matter of fact, the composition of many of our so-called educated young men are like the works of bad architects, who think to conceal the poverty of their imagination and th commonness of their designs by stick ing meaningless ornaments on the ugly structures with which they cumber the earth.
