In one of the filler tenement buildings some months K??r Miriam Challoner, one-time wealthy and ''toWoStto woman of .ocl.ty. took -refuge, Vmhln thU s&AXL J !W light, and that seemed fully ns Incongruous to its surroundings ns wns tho woman ner fcclf, thero was nothing In its furnishings to remind one of former prosperity. In a far corner of the adjoining room was a stove on which a frugal meal was cooking, sending Its odor throughout tho small apart ment a meal that In former days she would not have thought possible oven for her servants. At tho window of this room which was bedroom nnd living room com bined upon a small tnhlo was a typewriter, boforo which sat Miriam Challoner, clad In a somber dress that was almost nunllko In Us soverlty. She was palo, nnd on her face was the look of a woman acquainted with grief. Sho read as she wrote: "Now this Indenturo wltnesseth comma that the said party of the first part comma for tho better securing the pay ment of the said sum of money mentioned In tho condition ot tho said bond or obliga tioncomma with Interest thereon com ma according to the true Intent and mean ing thereof semicolon and also for and In consideration of tho sum of ono dollar comma to him In hand well and duly paid " Suddenly she halted and fingered the copy lying on the table at her right "Twenty moro pages I cant do them now " she muttered half aloud, and, crossing the room unsteadily, threw hersolf upon the bed a cheap bed that groaned and creaked as If It felt her weight upon It. tired I'm so tired," she moaned, as she lay there supinely for some time. All of a sudden sho sat bolt upright in bed, for tho sound of a timid knock on tho door had reached her ears; but thinking, perhaps that she had been dreaming, she waited until tho knock was repeated, and only then did she cry out: "Well? What Is It?" There was no nnswer. A moment more, and sho was at the door confronting a man and a woman, both gayly caparisoned. They stood hand In hand, sheepishly, smilingly, tho woman looking moro like somo guilty child who was being brought to task by nn overlndulgent parent For a brief second that seemed Interminably long to Mrs. Challoner waiting for them to speak, they stood thus and It was not until they called her name that sho recog nized them. ".Mrs. Challoner we thought " they stammered In chorus. "Why, It's Stevens," Mrs. Challoner broke In, at last, "and you too, Foster!" And the color Instantly went flying from her lips to her cheeks. "Yes, ma'am," again camo In chorus from Stevens and Foster, lately butler and lady's maid to Mrs. Challoner, nnd still hand In hand. "Oh, Mrs. Challoner," then spoke up Foster, "what do you think? Wo'vo gone and got married 1" "Married? Foster 1 Stevens! Why, yes, of course: you do look llko brldo and groom," said Mrs. Challoner, her heart for tho momont sinking at all this happiness; and then, "Como In and do tell me all about It." "Mrs. Challoner," quickly put In Stevens, as they camo Into the rooms, "she pestered mo 'til I had to marry her thero was no getting rid of her." A faint smile crossed Miriam's face, nnd soon sho fuund herself entering Into the happiness of this couple, Just as she would havo done In the old days; and so well did they succeed In making her forget hor present position that she was actually try ing to determine what would be a most appropriate and, at the Bame time, a most pleasing gift to them. Absorbed, therefore, In her laudable perplexities, It was qulto a long time beforo she fully realized that there were but two chairs, a fact which had not escaped the eyes of theso well trained servants, who still remained stand. Ing In the center of the room ; and when, at last, tho truth dawned upon her, It wa with tho greatest difficulty that she kept back the tears, as half-coaxlngly, half-authorl-tatlvcly she prevailed upon the terribly em barrassed pair to occupy them, whlls sho seated herself on the edge of the bed. "Yes. ma'am," resumed Foster, deter mined to tell all there w.s to tell, "there wero about six men that I could have mar ried as well as not not like Stevens, but big. flne-looklng men, every one of them. But Stevens here got In such a way about it that I felt eorry for him and I gave them nil tho go-by for him. But there's one thing certain," she concluded with a sigh. "I didn't marry for good looks nor for money cither, for that matter." "You married for love, Foster, and that Is so much better," commented Mrs. Challoner, reveling In their Joy. "I dare say," conceded Foster, "tha I'll come to love him In time." "Yes, ma'am," put In Stevens, eager to get In a word, "she bothered me until I finally succumbed, though my tastes were well, ma'am, I must admit that I like 'em a little plumper." To Miriam Challoner It was Indeed a treat to hear their good-natured banter. Presently .he asked with Interest: "What are you doln- now, Steven.? "He's a ahofar. ma'am." woke up FosUr "t . .. i vt .v ,'f, I'm working for Bernhardt, the brewer a hundred dollars a month,' ma'am." "Indeed I So you're n chauffeur, nnd earning one hundred dollars n month 1" exclaimed Miriam Challoner. "Why that's fine I" And a. hundred dollars never seemed larger to nny one's eyes. Stevens shrugged his shoulders as he an swered In an offhand manner: "What's a hundred " "A hundred dollars a month I" again sighed Mrs. Challoner; nnd fell to planning what that sum would do for her. Suddenly Stevens broke ln upon her thoughts with: "What n cozy little place you have, ma'nm!" And turning to Foster: "I hope wo can ham Just such n llttlo placo ns this someday. It's great!" "I'd know In n minute, mo'nm, that you had arranged things." said Foster, falling In readily with her husband's enthusiasm. For nn Instant Mrs. Challoner shaded her eyes with her hand. Tho room, sho knew only too well, was tho very last expression of poverty, yet theso two had shown a delicacy and kindness that she had sup posed to bo far beyond them. "Rut Where's your manners. Foster?" suddenly demanded Stevens. "Surely you might put your hnnds to fixing up that supper on tho stove! Do now, like a good girl "Indeed, sho muit not nnd In that lovely gown, too besides, there Is really nothing to do," Miriam Challoner quickly returned, for sho could not boar to havo Foster see what was cooking there. "Oh, I'll be very careful, besides, It will seem natural to bo doing things for you," persisted her former mnld. "Yes, take a look at tho mast baking thero in tho oven, anyway," said Stevens, and no sooner had his wlfo turned hor step toward tho kitchen than ho quickly leaned over to Mrs. Challoner, nnd. thrust ing something In her hand, ho said In nn undertono: "She's treasurer, ma'nm, nnd I havo to necount for every penny; but this she knows nothing nbout. It's for you plcaso take If In an Instnnt Mrs. Challoner wns on her feet, nnd putting tho "money back In his hand, she exclaimed! "Why, Stevens, I can't tako this I Really, I navo money For a moment Stevens's eyes wandered about tho poorly furnished room, betraying his thoughts to tho contrary. This was not lost on Mrs. Challoner, who Immediately went on to explain: "Yes, Stevens, and I earn It, too." And she pointed to tho typewriter with a cer tain pride. "I beg your pardon, ma'am," said her former butler contritely, returning the money quickly to his pocket "Only, don't let her know When Foster camo back Into the room, they were standing over tho typewriter, Mrs. Challoner explaining its mechanism. "Oh, what a fine thing It Is to havo nn education!" exclaimed the young wife, looking sharply nt her husband ; but hoc penetrating glance was too much for Stevens, nnd turning quickly on his heel, he proceeded to rearrango the chairs. "Hey, there!" suddenly called out Foster. "Why aren't you moro of a gentleman whero's your manners7 Run nlong there, llko a good fellow, and put some wnter In tho teakettle I" Stevens lost no time In obeying; then drawing close to Mrs. Chal loner, Foster whlsperod: "This Is for you, ma'am, but don't let Stevens know, for he's as tight as a drum head." "But" protested Mrs. Challoner, looking at the other in astonishment "Please, I saved It Just for you," Insisted Foster, with a look of disappointment on hor face.

STRANGE ADVENTURES OF BILLY BUAIPUS THE BANQUET By Farmer Smith One morning when IllUy Rumpus got up unusually early ho discovered somothlng which fascinated him. In every circus there Is what Is called nn "advance car" that Is, a car which goes ahead of the main circus distributing bills, setting up posters and so forth. For some reason this car had returned to tho circus where Hilly wbb Btopplng, and as ho stood there lu tho early morning ho greatly ndtntred It. Tho sides wero plastered over with pic tures which amused Billy greatly. Ho was particularly Interested In tho elephant's picture so he went up closer to It and nib blod off a corner. "Grcatl" exclaimed Billy. The door of tho car being open, Billy waited In. There was paper on every frtde of him paper tho llko of which ho had never seen before. And such colors! "I guess I'll go along with this car a while," thought Billy, as ho curled up be hind a pile of sacks. It was not long beforo tho car started oft and Billy was wondering what would be como of his owner, tho clown. He finally went to sleep nnd was awaken ed with a start. Billy peeked out from behind the sack. Tho men were going out to work. Ho would follow thorn. They had gone quite a dis tance beforo nilly (dipped out of the car without their seeing him. Slowly ho followed them as they posted a bill here and there, hugo sheets of paper with elephants nnd other animals pictured on them. Also tho actors and the clowns. "Hump! Just wait until they move on and watch me chew that elephant's ear off," Billy seemed qulto pleased with himself, "It's so much moro delightful eating my breakfast out here than In that stuffy car. Besides, tho paper Is all laid out for me." The men disappeared and Billy apprpach ed a huge billboard. "Hellol BUly Board, my name Is Billy Bumpua," The goat made a low bow. First there was the elephant Billy started to eat the picture at the car. "Funny he doesn't squeal 1" laughed Billy tn hlniBelf. "Maybe his snout Is a bit moro tender. One, two. three!" The picture dldn t move. "I guess I'll bite your squirmy little tall," said Billy. " ne reached up on his hind ,eut the elephanfa picture said nothing, and was soon devoured. Well, upon my soul, If there isn't my rtear old clown I" exclaimed Billy, going up to the picture and kissing It.
