GETTING ACQUAINTED.
When Henderson stepped into the
big dining room of the golf club, which
had been converted into a dancing
thall for the occasion, and saw Flor-
ence Tracy standing opposite the door
he made up his mind that he wanted
to know her. He put forth a big mus-
cular hand and plucked by the sleeve
the first man that passed him.
“Introduce me to the girl over there
talking to Matthews,” he commanded.
“Don't know her,” responded the
other man. He turned and stared at
the girl for a moment. “A good deal
of a peach,” he commented, “but |
never saw her before. Sorry I can’t
oblige you.” And he dashed off in
pursuit of his own partner.
The next half hour Henderson
passed looking for some one who
would present him to the girl, but
none of his acquaintances seemed to
know her. Finally, however, he came
upon Filkins, who was popularly sup-
posed to know everybody in the world.
“Say, Filkins,” he said, “if you don’t
know the girl in white who has just
been dancing with Trenton I want you
to make it your business to get to
know her so that you can introduce
me.”
Henderson eagerly followed in Fil-
kins’ wake, with his eyes fixed on the
willowy creature who was the object
of his admiration. Thus he just
escaped climbing up Filkins’
back when that unreliable person
stopped in front of a pudgy blond
creature and with a beaming smile in-
troduced Henderson.
“That wasn't the girl | wanted to
meet!” he exploded to Filkins a few
minutes later. “Nice enough girl, 1
don’t doubt, but not the one. The girl
I want to know is the tall girl who
stepped out on to the veranda just
as you turned around then. Now, do
you know her?”
Filkins shook his head. “No, 1
don’t,” he admitted. “But I think she's
Mrs. Peterson's sister and is visiting
her. I'll try to find cut for you.”
“No, I'll do my own pioneering, |
thanks,” said Henderson.
Three times during the course of
the evening he discovered men who |
knew the young woman in question,
and three times did he and the mutual
acquaintance wander about vainly in
search of her. As the dancers were
beginning to leave Filkins rushed up
to Henderson.
“I've met her and danced with her,
and she is a peach,” he announced.
“You just wait here half a second and
I'll cut her out of the bunch as she
comes down and introduce you."
Once more Henderson waited pa-
tiently but vainly. When all the
guests had departed Filkins gave a
sigh of mingled weariness and disap-
pointment. “Honest, old man,” he
said, "'! didn’t mean to give you the
wrong steer, but she must have gone
out the other way.”
Henderson from that moment set
his teeth and made up his mind that
he would achieve Florence Tracy's ac-
quaintance even though the heavens

attended three lawn parties—festivi-
ties which he loathed—and a church
bazaar. In vain.
One cvening on his way home he
saw her sitting in the front of the car |
with a girl whom he had once known,
but never liked, and had consistently
avoided for years, Wandering past
them with a bland, slightly embar-
rassed but wholly humble and propiti-
atory smile upon kis face, he was met
with such an icy stare from the girl
he had once known that he hastily
bolted into the forward car without at-
ten'pting to renew the acquaintance.
However, several days later, when
he had almost given up hope of ac-
complishing his object, he woke from
a surreptitious nap on the evening
train just as it was pulling into the
station. In spite of the fact that his
vision was somewhat blurred with
sleep he suddenly became aware that
Miss Tracy had just stepped into the
aisle from a seat about half-way down
the car.
Trying to look as much as possible
like a man who has just been sitting
with his eyes closed to rest them, he
stumbled into the aisle. Then he
glanced back as he did so, actuated
by the suburbanite’s instinct for gath-
ering up stray packages. In the rack
Just above the seat which Miss Tracy
had been occupying his eyes fell upon
a small, dainty parcel. Instantly he
was wide awake.
He dashed back to the seat, secured
the parcel and then dropped off the
platform of the car just as the train
was pulling out of the station. Deter-
mined to see the thing through, he
hailed the village taxicab and ordered
the driver to follow the automobile
which was carrying Miss Tracy swift-
ly out of sight.
As Migs Tracy stepped out of the
car in front of her sister's house Hen-
derson, hat in one hand and parcel in
the other, stepped out of the taxicab.
Somewhat heated but perfectly game,
he advanced toward her and held out
his bedraggled offering.
“If 1 am not mistaken,” he sald
suavely, “you left this in the train.”
Miss Tracy looked at him in sur-
prise. Then her eyes fell to the par-
cel. Sha half advanced her hand as if
to take it, but withdrew it again.
“It was good of you to bring it,” she
said hesitatingly, “but you are mis-
taken. It isn't mine. Why did you
think it was?”
Henderson laughed shamefacedly.
“f must have wanted it to be yours.”
Then the whole story of his efforts to
get acquainted with her came out.

Sometimes these todhunters were of

they were local dignitaries. There was
honor and considerable profit in thei

In the rough country horse and
hound would have been worse than
useless, and Reynard made his den in
such rocky ground that he could not be
dug out. The sole solution was a dog
small enough to follow the fox or otter
or badger or wild cat into his lair,
strong enough to bring him out dead or
alive and game enough to do both. A
dog developed from this necessity, and
that dog was the ancestor of the pres

Water at Meals,
There is a very popular fallacy
abtoad—natuely, that a person should
never drink water with his meals.
There is one and only one danger in
this. That is the temptation to wash
down half ma=cicated food with ~vater.
There is one distinct advantage .n the
digestion of food when water is taken
with the meals. As food is swallowed
it goes to the stomach in a lump about
the consistency of a bread dressing.
