The banker who can find a tobacco that will lend keenness and calmness to his brain without exacting compound inter est from his nerves, has found something to be thankful for."

NtrrCHEL On evenings when entertainment are In pro trees at the Auditorial , l ..t trip on all lines will be from entertainment, leaving Square at reg. w.ev "me and holding over at Aadltorlem. r tMvea Square te meet No, II, night train. 10 tntnutee before aeheo- . it announced arrival. Arnold Tucker, aged nineteen, met and wooed Alice Brainard, aged six teen. Both being too young to marry so their parents thought consent was given to the match only on condition that they part, not to see each other for two years. If they were then of the same mind no objection would be raised to their union. They were not to correspond, except during the last week of the two years' separation, at which time they would need to make arrangements for their meeting. One morning Albeit Tucker (not a relative nor even an acquaintance of the said Arnold Tucker) was handed a letter by. a postman addressed in a feminine hand and asked if it belong ed to him. The writing was so indis tinct that Tucker could not be sure, but replied by taking It in with other letters handed him at the same time On opening It he read the simple an nouncement: I will be at the Grand hotel on Tuesday and shall be pleased to see you that even ing. You will find me in Parlor B, second floor, at S o'clock. ALICE. Albert Tucker knew a great many girls, a number of whom he bad made love to for the purpose, as he express ad It, of passing the time, and was not conscious of any of them accepting bis attentions through any more serious motive. He did not remember any particular Alice, nor did he recognize the chlrography. He simply made a mental note of the appointment and When the evening came around reach ed the Grand hotel at 8 o'clock and went to Parlor B. A young lady whom he had never seen before rose from her seat with a happy smile to meet him, but the smile faded into a look of perplexity. "I never believed," she said, "that two short years could have so changed you." If Albert Tucker was anything he was gallant. "Two long years, yon mean." "Have they been long to you?" some thing of the smile returning with a faint blush. "Each has been an eternity." The lady looked up tenderly out of a pair of heaven's blue eyes. Bert did not mistake; it would have been brutal for him to mistake at least so be considered it He bent forward and kissed her Hps. Meanwhile be was racking his brain to place the girl among those to whom he had on some previously forgotten occasion made love. He could remem ber a Betty, a Imlse, an Ethel, but no Alice. As for the last patronymic he could remember only two of them. Miss Brainard resembled a girl be bad met at a bouse party at the home of his friend Cbnrlcs Beale a couple of years before and had become "spoons" with. He suspected that she was this girl, but was not sure. He determined to take some risk to find out "I would not suppose." he said, "that so much would happen since that de lightful period we spent at Charlie's." "Charlie! What Charlie?" "True, you were not with us at Charlie Benle's. Two years Is a long while, especially when parted from one we love. Events become confused." "I hope persons hava not become confused In your case. Waa there some girl -with whom you remember to have bad a 'delightful period T " "Not at all. Now I remember; it was a stag party." "A stag party! Do men hava delight ful remembrances of stag parties? But this is not pertinent to our meet lng. The question with us Is, Having been parted for two years, having grown older, do we wish to accept the promise made us wben we separated?" Bert would have given -worlds to know wbat that promise waa; Indeed. ha must know wbat It waa or glva up this struggle at pretense. "I have forgotten," ha stammered. "just what that promts was." Had an Ice bolt been ahot between the two It could not have effected greater change. The girl started, then recoiled from him. "What hava I dona?" be gasped. "What have you dona? Ton bare stabbed me to the heart While I have counted the months, the weeks, tbe days till we might take advantage of that promise, you bare forgotten what it was. Ob, heavens! What ahall 1 dor - She threw herself on a sofa and bur ted her fact la the cushions. "There la something wrong here,' said Bert la desperation. "Are you sura I am" 6b started op. Ton ar Arnold r "I am not I are Tucker." "Arnold Tacker, and you ha? for gotten" "I'm Albert Tucker." "Albertr "Commonly called Bert. And now, for heaven's Bake, do tell me who yon arel I must admit I can't place you." Tncker never forgot that withering look. It waa soma time before Mtaa Brain ard deigned to inform htm wbo the waa, and there was an iplanatlon. Tucker was a cool chap, 11 ipol ft ied for bis share of the mistake, sddlng: "I can only (?r to return th en thing yoo bar given me." "What la thatr asked XlUa Brain aid. Th ktaa." , A smile broke Into a Uofh.
