TIM.Ta TABLE
It was rather late when it anrivea.
People in lrlanich me not late for
the opera if it can be helped, and the
coachman droveup hurriedly. The
green and silver footman leaped to
the g'r'ound and opened the carriage
door almost before' it stopped. The
Chancellor got out looking less genial
than usual because he was afraid that
he sleight lose some of the overture.
A. rosy-cheeked girl in a white frock
was with him and she was evidently
trying to soothe him.
"I do not think we are really late,
Father," she said. "Don't feel cross
dear. It will spoil the mimic for
you"
This was not a time in which a
man's attention could be attracted
quietly. Marco ran to get the ticket
which would give him a place among
the rows of young, soldiers, artists,
male and female students, and musi-
cians who were willing to stand four
or five deep throughout the perfor-
mance of even the longest opera. He
knew that, unless they were in one
of the few boxes which belonged only
to the court,' -the Chancellor and his
rosy-cheeked daughter would be in
the best seats in the front curve of
the balcony which were the most de-
sirable of
e-sirable,of the house. He soon saw
them.' They had secured the central
places directly below the large royal
box where two quiet princesses and
their attendants were already seated.
When he found he was not too late
to hear the overture, the Chancellor's
face became more genial than ever.
He settled himself down to an even-
ing of'enjoyment and evidently forgot
everything else in the world. Marco
did not lose sight of him. When the
audience went out between the acts
to promenade in the corridors he
might go also and there might be a
chance to pass near to him in the
crowd.' He • watched • hint closely.
Sometimes his fine old face sadden-
ed at the beautiful woe of the music,.
sometimes it looked enraptured, and
it was always evident that every note
reached his 'soul.
The pretty daughter who sat be-
side him was attentive but not so
enthralled. After the first act two
glittering young, officers appeared

drawing their heels together as they
kissed her hand.nd. They looked sorry

when they were obliged to return to
their seats again. •
After the second act the Chancellor
sat for a few, minutes as if he were
in a dream, The people in the seats
near him began to rise from their
chairs and file out into the corridors.
The young officers were to be seen
rising also. The rosy daughter ileacs

gently.
"She wants Klin to tale her out,"
Marco thought. ' "He will take here
because he is good-natured.'

Every Town
Wants Industries
27. W ' ','< :
Every industry, be it large or small, adds to the progutess and
prosperity of any community. Every such industry brings new capi-
tal to a town, and distributes this among the business men generally
in the way of wages and salaries. Everybody benefits.
Among local industries there is none of greater importance in
any oommunity than that of the local home newspaper. Not only does
it provide employment for a certain number of workmen, but it of-
fers a service to the community which could be obtained in no other
way.
In their own best interests, therefore, business men should use
their local paper for purposes of advertising, and also for the pro-
curing of their requirements in PRINTING. All business men need
printed matter of various kinds free time to time. Remember your
focal' printing office when in need of printed matter.
