"Man's well enough," nnswered Annie. "Hut I dou't think much of her. Shy's been turned out by n cjuntry dressmaker. That's cti dtut." "Ah! no gal ever does think an other gill dresses lit to bo seen," re marked Kill, with a superior uir. "Anyways, you can't deny that sho's a pretty'littlo turt." "Cull hat painted phiz pretty I" ex claimed Annie, with contempt. "Xow the man's 'nnd-ome, it you like." "Yoii'vo been a heyeing 'iiu for roiuo time, us if you thought so," fo jdied Kill, inclining to wrath. "1'vo potted you at it, gal !" "An.

"I tuiuk you ineuu to (pi.irrel with tne, Kill ; and I think," she added sarcastically, "that your 'pretty littlo tart' is up to tho sumo game with her bo, over there. Just look at her !" "Lawk, how silly sho looks, making a exhibition of 'erself like that," com mented Annie, with shrill contempt, "l'oro man ! I am sorry for 'im' that I inn." "1'iioh !

"I axree, with orl ray 'art," she as sented, relapsing into a dignified calm. "What 'as been shall 'enco forth be as though it 'adu't been. And what 'asn't been shall be 'enceforth what is." "Then I am to wish you good-day, Miss Miller," he remarked, taking olT tho new billycock with an annihilat ing sweep. "Hime to yon, Mr. Karnctt, she answered, with a simply obliterating curtsey. Kill turned west and strutted, with stndiod indifference, toward St. Leonard, Annio turned cast and strolled with sablime nonchalance toward Hastings. Tho quarrel be tween tho other conplo had roached its climax almost simultaneously. They, too, walked offin opposite direc tions, reversing tho process, however, for tho man walked east in this case and the woman west. Two minutes later ho could soarcoly tell himself how it had come about Kill found himself conversing with his charming descrtod creature. At this critical juncturo Annio en countered tho admiring eyes of tho gentlemanly toff. "I trust that I do not ofTond," ho inquired, with an anxious look into her eyes. Annio turned them down quickly on the shingle, and murmured a negative. Tho handsome stranger spoke like a ccutlciiuiu. His renncil voioo con trasted melodiously with William Har nett's harsh and commonplace tones. "You uro without a tquirc," he pursued. "Yes," faltered Annie. "1'ardon me for alluding to the mat ter," said the stranger, with a half apologetic air. "I could not, just now, help witnessing tuo littlo er differenco which occurred between you and vour hem friend. "Ho is no longer any friend of mine," sho answered, her eyes flashing indignantly, as she glanced westward, toward w here William Karnctt aud the painted hussy were now carrying on a spirited flirtation. The stranger's eyes roamed in the same direction. For a moment his brow darkened. Then he said, rather viciously, "I see that he has taken up with a er admirer of mine, whom I am thankful to say, I have just this minute hum er finally shunted. c:v i ndare.her no longer. Perhf p you witnessed the disgraceful scene which she occasiouel?" Annie nodded. "A well matched pair," said tho stranger, with a scotling smile toward tho subjects of this criticism. "Exceedingly," assented Miss An nio, with incredible venom. "Aud I hope," persisted ho no long er seolliug, but speaking in genuine ardent tones, "that we two aro er (ho lowered his voice, caressingly) "a well matched pair." "Oh, really.

When sho loaruod that he, too, was goiug back to Loudon by tho evening tram, and woul I tako it us a great honor if ho might escort her, sho was charmed. it was with groat difficulty that tho hauiUoiuo strauger piloted Annio through the crowd aud found two empty places in tho train. Ho placed her ir ouo or tuo seats, wnicti was next tho door, and stood himself upou tho step i, siuokiug his cigar until tho train should start.

Annio kept his scat for him. Hut ho did uot come buck. Tho engine fizzed and whistled. Tho train started. Yet he did not come back. Annie Miller never saw thut handsome blade again. An hour or ho later a smartly dressed couple, a lady utid a gontleuitiu, were, eujoyiug an excellent dinner in tho largo salon of tho Ciraud Hotel. "It was not tho amount wo took." sail fho to hor, with a chuckle, "but rather tho urtistio tnauuer iu which tho alVair was managed, that was so commendable. The readiness with which we twigged the littlo tiff be tween I'hyllis and Corydon, and then played up to it, was, as a dramatio stroke, superb. I never enjoyed any thing moro." "Poor Corydon," laughed the lady, "Well, his watch, chaiu and money aro 5 on the wroug side of nothing to us areu't thoy?" "Aud l'hyllis's gewgaws will fotch pretty uoar a tenner," said the man, stroking his mustaobe. "I'm glad we loft them their return tickets to town," ho added, benignantly. "Wo didn't want to bo too hard on the poor thiugs." "Aud the tickets were quite useless to us," said the lady. "(juite," assented hor husband, with it philanthropic smile.

An account was published recently of a suit for heavy damages arising from lack of punctuation in a tele gram. A man sent tho message: "Don't come. Too late;" but tho doctor received it: "Don't come too late," nnd immediately engaged a special train to convoy him a long distance. Mr. Story, tho sculptor, who began life as a lawyer, tells a good anccdoto which illustrate the fact that the em phasis which punctuates has as much to do with determining tne sonse of a sentenco as the meaning of tho words. Once, when ho wa called upon to de fend a woman accused of murdering her husband, ho adduced as one of the proofs of her iunoceuco tho fact of tier having attended him on his death bod, and saying to him, when he was dying, "floodby, Ooorgo !" Tho coun sel for tho prosecution declarod that that ought rather to be taken as proof of her guilt, aud that tho words sho had use I were : "Good 1 by George 1 A well known clergyman of Xow York used to make a strong poipt by reading tho verso: "God said, 'Let thero bo light and thcro was light,' " with the emphasis on tho word light, not on was, as usually rendered.

Origin ol "Ho'ey Pokey." It is an actual fact that old ico cream is bought up by Italians and venders from restaurants and ice pream stands, frozen a second and third time, aud again offered for sale, to be consumed by the newsboys and general public- under the alluring ti tle of ''hokey pokey." Almost every night these venders make tho rouudu ot all the hotels, aud buy up whatever has been left over from the day pre vious. This cream has all meltod moro or less to its original consistency aud if it is still frozen when they got it there is littlo left but fluid by the time it has reached Krooklyn and tho lUl iau quarter. This melting process is tho causo of all the danger. Cream once having been frozen and again meltod very readily turns sour. In thisstago it is poisonous. Tho vernier of "hokey pokey" cares littlo whether or not tho cream is Hour. Quickly upou his re turn to his quarters ho frcezos all this mush, and packs it away for tho next day's use. Tho few casos ot poisoning that have coaio to tho public uotico are in all probability net tlu ouly ones th it have occurred, for phvsieiaus say that many cases of poisoning have occurred iu the districts where tho "hokey pokey" venders are that could not bo accounted for, because of tho sudden ness of death. It has generally been understood that certain establishments aro putting out large quantities of "hokey pokey" ami supplying tho von lor.', but this is not so.

Then thero are the ordinary business men. They need divine and Christrluii help. When we begin to talk about business life, we shoot right olT nnd talk about men who did business on a largo scale, and who sold millions of dollars of goods a year, but the vast majority of business men do not sell a million dollars ot goods, nor unit n million, lior a nuurtcr of a milliou, nor tho eighth part ol a million.
