couple orderly, well bred, nice people,
iapparently.
"Oh, what lovely berries, Jack,"
cried the young- woman, pointing- al
most directly at the concealed officer
"Yes," her escort returned, "but
vou mustn't touch . them. There are
too many officers about."
The girl pouted her lips. Then sud
denly a brig-lit thoug-ht struck her, and
she exclaimed:
"Oh, I know! Let's play Adam and
Eve. You, dear Jack, will be Adam
and I JiiVe. The park snail oe our
g-arden of Eden. I'll pluck of the
bidden fruit and give to you, and"
"But suppose an officer should
for-
see
us?" the young- man said, uneasily,
glancing- about. jno policeman was
in Big-lit. Reassured, he continued:
"All rig-lit, Eve, g-o ahead: but didn't
Adam pluck first and give to Eve?"
"Un, no, vou sillv bov: oi course
not!"
The make-believe Eve stole over to
within five feet of Officer Ryerson and,
picking- a larg-e cluster of berries, took
them to Adam. She placed them in
the lapel of his coat and patted his
cheek. Adam was alive to his oppor
tunity, and imprinted a kiss on the
fair cheek before him. She blushed as
red as the berries Adam wore.
"And now that this is your Garden
of Eden, and that you, Adam and Eve,
have sinned," Officer Ryerson said, as
he sauntered up behind them, "the
aevii aotn appear m tne snape ot a
park policeman." And he waved his
billy as thoug-h it were a scepter of
fire. "I'm sorry, sir, but you'll have
to come along- with me to the arsenal
ana explain vo tne serg-eani; now it is
that both Adam and Eve have trans
gressed the rules of the park."
Half way to the station house Ryer
son relented. He is a sort of a wag
himself. He was grinning- his broad
est, and the young- people, too, while
not forgetting- the seriousness of the
charg-e against them, could scarce sup
press their smiles.
Ryerson stopped short and said:
"Well, I'll let you g-o, but let me give
you a piece of advice. Don't, when
ever you want to play Adam and Eve,
come to Central park. There are two
hundred and fifty just such devils as I
am lurking- about to entrap the un
wary Adams and Eves. Just remem
ber that, please. You may g-o."
The pair overwhelmed the officer
with their thanks and hurried away.
WISDOM OF A HORSE.
He Knows When His Master Is Loaded
and Needs a Rest.
There is a horse on the Mississippi
coast, it would not be wise to say just
where in telling- a true tale, and such
a tale, for this horse has a master who

often takes a drop too much, and, una
ble to ride, throws himself on the
ground "to sleep it off." Then the
ahorse grazes around patiently until it
is time to g-o home, when he arouses
the man by pulling- his sleeve, makes
'him mount and carries him safely home.
