Decinaa hurried on. The meeting' with

confused and bewildered her. She' could

His attitude, and not only hie attitude,
hut the expreselon of his small eyes as
they rented on her father, reminded her,
in the flash of a moment, of one of the
monkeys at the Zoo.
Her father was pacing up and down the
rem, a model, In hie hand, his hair all
ruffled over his head, and he was talking
In the exerted rhapsodical Bushiest In

Mr. Mershon got oir the bench and re.

and a faint bluthsbtained his face. "I

PAYING FOR, PROMPTNESS.
This Man ',naugh- t He Knew the
Ways of Carpenters.
, Bruce Lingo thought he knew car-
penters; anyway, he knew the pre-
liminaries that some of them are
accustomed to observe before they
get finally to work. .i3ut his know-
ledge was not quite go complete lig
he thought it was.
Early one morning Lingo went to
Lem Hicks, who did odd jobs round
town.
"I've got a little iiiece of work
down at the house I event you to
do this morning," he said,
Lein ftnished chewing a bite of
his breakfast that he' hacl brought
to the door with him, and looked
speculatively past Lingo at nothing
in particular. Bit after mature de-
liberation he replied;
"1 reclon I can do it, Me.
Lingo,"
"You have a saw, I suppose?"
Lingo asked him,
"Why, yes, of course I have,"
replied the carpenter,
"And a hammer ?"
"Sure." He looked with some
astonishment at Lingo,
'"I suppose you own a square ?"
"Well( I should think so." Lona
was, growing indignant.
"That is all you will need," said
Lingo, "I have the lumber already
there."
Then putting his hand into his
pocket, he took out a hall -dollar, I
and offered it th the carpenter.
"What is that for 7" asked -Hicks.
"That is to pay yeti for bringing
your tools the first trip.. I am in
hurry this morning." .
right," said Hicks, and put
the half-dollarainto his ,pocket, ,
Promptly at eight o'clock Hicks
arrived with his tools. •
•"I eee- it worked," 'remarked
Lingo to his wife, With gatiefaction,
"I knew I 'should have th pay 'him.
for that wasted hour anyway, and
I had rather pay it, and get the
work done. It always takes a car-
penter an hour th come, squint his
eye at a board, rub his hands on 1
his overalls, and then go back and
get his tools." • ,
But a half-hour, even forty-tve
minutes passed and there was no I
sound of hammering. .
Lingo went out to investigate. !
The hammer and saw and square
were just where they had been
dropped; but there was no carpen-
ter in sight.
He was fast getting angry when
Hicks came leisurely across the cor-
ner of ..the lawn from the street,
with a three -cornered paper pack-
age an his hand.
"I had to go clown -town, end get ,
some nails," he explained, without
a smile.
• What Struck Him.
A man going home at a late hour
In the night saw that the occupanta
of a house standing flush with the
street had left a window up, and
he decided to warn them, and per-
haps prevent a burglary. Putting.
his head into the window he called
out-"Halloa 1 good peop—"
That was all he said. A whole pail-
ful of water steuelc him in the face,
e,nel as he staggered back a woman
shrieked out -"Didn't I tell you
what you would get if you wasn't
home by nine o'clock."
