Copyrighted. 1SCT, by N. E. Daley. Dick Staley. perchef on a fu'ralture tratc, looked disconsolately at F.illy Blaine, who was regarding tle Avail paper and trying hard not to laagh. In spite of Blaine's efforts the twitch ing corners of his mouth curved, and us he met Staley's eye he explode! in a roar of laughter which served only to deepen Staley's gloom. "Laugh, confound you!" growled Sta ley. "It's funny to you. It's no: bo funny to me. I've got to get this place settled, in five days, and upon my noul I don't know what to do first!' "The first step is easy," chucUled Blaine. "Get a man in to scrape th walls. The paper Is the worst I ever saw.". "It looked all right in the book," said Staley defensively. "It wus the pret tiest thing In tiie whole book of cam ples." "It may be all right In a cample." admitted Bleln. with another glr.net at the flowered mouBtroeity, "but there Is only one square ynrd of the san pie. It looks different, Dick, when you have a roomful of It" "I know it," admitted Staley, "but that doesn't help matters. It oaly serves to make them wors. I want ed to surprise the matter by briniajf her to her ov,rn home instead of lik ing her to a hotel. She hates to lvt up her old home, and I wanted to make the change as easy as possible." The smile died from Blaine's face at the allufllon to Mrs. Staley. lie was Dick's chum, and fce knew how tender ly Dick loved the gentle faced woman who within the month had lost both husband and daughter. Now Ehe was coming to live with Dick, and for weeks h had planned to take an apartment that she might not feel too keenly the loss of the home that had been hers since marriage. "I'll tell you what we'll do, Dick," suggested Blaine. "Let's go downtown for some lunch. I'll phone Nell for one of those professional fixers for you. She knows a crac'xerjack, a girl who used to mere In good society and whose father lost his money. She knows what's what and how to d) It, and Nell will get her to do it for j ou." Dick patted his chum on the aok while his eyes glistened. Nell Blaine "COMFLETB?" SHE ASKF.D, NOT QUITE CATCH1-J HIS MEANING. was the most accomplished matron of his acquaintance. She would extricate him from his trouble. Together they left the apartment, and while Sialey ordered lunch Billy Blaine hung oyer the telephone in the restaurant. "She'll bring her over tonight at 8," reported Billy as he took his seat. "Eat with a good appetite and con sider yourself settled already." Billy's words restored confidence, and when Dick Staley met Marion Wadleigh that evening, his last doubt vanished. The girl did not laugh at his blunders nor even at the. wall pa per. She listened with sympnthy end took from her chatelaine the tablets on which to make notes of what the wanted. With increasing admiration Staley followed har through the vari ous rooms, noting the quick, business like way in vhich she condoneo his errors and aiproved his successes "I can do it over in four days,' she said briskly when she had shut up her memorandum book and returned t the parlor where Nell Blaine. Billy's s:ster-in-Iaw, still sat in rapt admiration of the garish wail paper. "Suppose. Mr. Staley, that you drop in here Filday afternoon? Then you can suggest any last changes you wish made, and the place will be ready for your mother Saturday evening. Shall I get you a servant also?" i "Can you?" Staicy had heard o" the servant problem, and ne hfid wo .Tied greatly. This businesslike girl oi' ered even to take that trouble off his hands. He was rapidby coming to regard Mar lon Wadleigh as a tailor made anpel, He dropped in the next mornlr? on his way to the ofacc and found a pa per' hanging creT already installed, removing the paper that had prov d so disappointing. Marion was there in a gingham aproa even more tecojiing than the cloth costume of the nigl t be fore, and Dick's heart beat faster in answer to her greeting. There was something "homey" in her appearance that appealed stn ngly to the man who for years had enjoyed but an occasional glimpse of hqcie In vacation time. The soft dark hair was, hidden by a cap and the piquant face was flushed with . exertion, but the heightened color only added to her beauty, and the cap did not shadow tne tender light in the brown eyes. Dick went to hl3 office -with his head in a whirl. Ever since he had come to the city ba bad sunk himself In work. Fortrna had come his way rap idly, and up to the present he had found work all sufficient. Now he be- gan to realize that the years had been ' lonely. . : , 1 ! Marion was not at the house when he dropped in the following morning, nor did he ret her ngnin until Friday afternoon, when he went to make his final inspection of her work. - Dick gasped as he entered the apart ment. In place of the gaudy paper the walls were cow corred with fjuiet tones and the flowered carptts had been exchanged for rugs whose soft tints harmonized with the new paper. Instead of the solid oSicellke furniture were lighter r.nd more tasteful pieces, and the whole apartment suggested a Jeminlne presence. Best of all. Marion Wadleigh was there. The print dress had. ben ex changed for an afternoon costume, find immediately Dick decided fiat aft er all a print dress was not tie most becoming costume which Marioa could wear, though that had been his Impres sion flnce he hnd seen her last. ; -.Quietly sho moved about thf- place, giving an account of her expen litures, and Dick followed, hearing o:ily the rich voice, full tones, without caring what she Paid. At last the tour of the rooms was ended, and she return ed to the parlor. "If you like." she said, "I can buy the material for dinner tomorrow and be here to welcome Mrs. S'taJcy when she arrives. Mrs. Blaine wanted to come over, but she had to leae town last night with her hssband." "I should be delighted If you eould arrange to be here tomorrow," said Staley. "I am eure that my mother will wish to add her thanks to mine for the btautiful home you have pro vided. You will stay to dinner?" "I only suggested being here to wel come her." said Marion, her fare flash ed. "You coe in business it Is best to maintain strictly business relations. You dont have to thank me fur what I htTe done. My charges cover all services, you know." ' "But money could not pay for pull ing me out o? a hole and settli g ine," insisted Dick. "Besides, I don't want to maintain a purely business relation ship unlerfl you insist. Misa Wadleigh." "I don't insist," the girl answered softly. "I have been much in crested in your devotion to your mothe and 1 am sure tjwit I shall be glad ta know her better. Hhe mu6t be a dear old lady to deserve such affection." "I want fou to know her very wail," explained Dlek. "You see y u have only partly settled mother. You have provided her with a home, but I want a home of my own, end I want you to furntsh It complete." "Complete?" she asked, not quite catching his meaning. "Even to a wife," explained Dick. "I don't ask an answer now, but will yon consider the proposition?" "As a business woman I have always considered propositions." sh said. with a laugh, but the look in her eyes belled the briskness of her words, and Dick realized that when they should know each other better tliee was a prospect of being settled "in full," as he termed it some months latvr when he placed a solitaire on Marion's finger. He Got ths Job. He called at the house and asked if she had any carpets to beat, adding that he had been in the business for over twenty years. "now much to beat that parlor car pet?" she asked. "Four shillings." "Why. that's awful! There was a man here yesterday who offered to do the job for 2 shillings." "Exactly, madam, but how wn h.P prepared?" "He had a stick In his hand." "I presume so. He Intended to take the carpet cut on a vacant piece of land, didn't he?" "Yes; our yard is too small, you know." "Exactly. That is a tapestry brus sels carpet. It hr badly worn. He would make a great show in getting $ out and in here. Out on the piece of land he would give your name to every one who asked who the carpet 1 elonged to. Is that the way to do a job of this sort? "I take the carpet out .through the back yard. I wheel it home. I beat it In a yard surrounded by a hifh loard fence, and whiie I am return!: g it, all nicely rolled up and covered with a cloth. If any one asks me what I have I reply that It is a velvet carpet for 224 Blank street. If no one asks a:iy ques tions I call at the houses on either Klde of you and ask if they have juv.t order ed a new wllton. They watch me and see me come in here." He was given the Job. Pearson's. A Poet's Vision. For years the poet Francis Thomp son had been one of the "submerged," .v, " 1 ...... . rood. At last ne yieiueq tq aerpair, i and hating for some days saved m all he could earn, he devoted it to tho purchase of a single dose of laudanum sufficient to end his troubles. With this he retired at night to hi:? haunt, the rubbish plot in Coveut Garden market. Thon by his own l arratlv-i the following Incident occurred: He had already taken half the faal draft when he felt a hand upon his arm .and. looking up. raw one whom, be recog nized as Chatterton forbidding him ta drink the rest, and at the stun- instant memory came to him of how. after that poet's suicide, a letter bad been delivered at his lodgings which, if he had waited another day. wo'.:Id have brought him the relief needed. It happened so with Thompson, for after Infinite pains the editor of a magazine who had accepted and print ed an essay and a poem of his. bat could not discover his address, had that very morning traced Thompsoa to the chemist's shop where the dru was sold, and relief for him was clos? at hand. London Academy. for ttfUQtrmtti uf, sure W THERE WAS 110 CHARGE, ii 1 Ml tho Seats In That Particular Church Wcrs Free. At a certain church an aged usher, io save the exertion' of continually marching up and dowu tho aisle to con duct persons to their seats, used to tak-e a stand in the tentar of tho church and when any incomers appeared beckon to them and then conduct them to a seat. The urchins of -the neighborhood, knowing his peculiarity, used to pop their heads inside the church door and mimic his action by' beckon Jug to him. Many times he tried to catch one and one Sunday mcrning nearly did so. But the boy rushed away .from the church and ran into the arms of a po liceman. "What have you been '-up. to?" de manded the policeman. - . -Thought the bay. ;Tm caught," but he said, "On, sir, there's a disturbance at that-church. -and they have sent me to fetch a policeman.". "Very good." said the officer. "I'll step in and see about it." So he opened the door at the west end of the church and, raking off his helmet, entered. The moment the aged usher saw him he beckoned to him and motioned him to a seat next an old gentleman. Immediately he was seated he touch ed the old gentleman and said, "Come quie"t." The old gentleman replied, "What do you mean?" Officer You know what I mean, and I don't want no chat. Come quiet or I shall have to take ycr by force. Old Gentleman I really don't under stand you. Officer Look here! We don't want no more disturbance! You have been kicking up quite enough, and I'm going to have ycu out quick. By this time the congregation were leaking at the pair and wondering what Avas the raster, so the old gentle man said: "Very well. I have not . made any disturbance, but to save any I will go with you." So together, to the wonderment of the congregation, they marched up the aisle. - When they had passed out of the church the usher followed them, and the policeman, turning to him, said: ."Now, then, j-ou have to make your charge." ' "Charge?" said the usher. "There ain't any chargel All the seats are free." Detroit News-Tribune. THE CRITIC'S SHRUG. A Story of an Old Persian Poet and, an Aspiring Shah. "To bo fair." said a noted dramatic critic, "is sometimes hard and. cruel, and sometimes it is rash. You know there are reprisals. The unswerving fair critic often takes up., his pen with the shrug of Omar, the old Persian poet. "You have heard of Omar's shmg? No? Well, it was eloquent. The shah once had seit for the old poet. "'Omar,' be said, 'I have written some versos. Listen, and I will read them to yon. "And he read the verses and in the ensuing silence looked at Omar anx iously. 'Well?' he said. " 'Heaven bom,' said Omnr gently, 'each to his own calling. Scepter in hand, you are inorjt wise, just and powerful, but pen in hand' Omar shook his head and chuckled. 'Heaven born,' said ho, sueh verses would dis grace a nine year-old schoolboy.' 4His eyes flashing with wrath, the shah shouted to his guards: "To the stables with this old fool, and let him be soundly flogged! "Yet the shah, for all, respected Omnr's judgment, and when, a week ; later, another idea for a poem came to. his mind and was feverishly executed he sent for the fearless and fair critic again. "'Another poem, Omar, a better one. I'm Euro you'll think it i3 a bet ter one,' he caid wistfully. And he be gan to read the second poam to the old man. "But in the middle of the reading Omar turned and started fr.r the door. "'Where are you going?' said the ehah in amazement. "Omar looked back and shrugged Ms shoulders. , " 'To the stables,' he answered, 'for another lican. flogging.' " Denver Itepub- Which of Them? A certain two men are possessed of exactly $10,000.
