William Smith, the widower, wan tall, so they pave him the name of Shanghai; William Smith, the liachflor, was short, and for twen ty years they hu>l spoken t<> and of him us Bunty Neither enjoyed a middle naiue, und neither was resourceful enough to supplj a distinguishing inl tial.

Shanghai, who lived at the other end | nf the x illage street, was resting in full j enjoyment of the respite death had glv.-u hiui from a somewhat overstren- ; uou- term in the yoke. When he tired !

He could marry the Wiuow Dunnigeu any day. lie thought. What he was alter was bigger fish. He finally sifted the choke down to two. j According to their uncontroverted I statements one was a widow with Jl'J,- ixm In mining sto< k. the other a maiden lady of means. Her mysterious reserve j on the question of means led Bunty to In i f.e she must at least own a bank, I .lily i railroad. To these ladies he !-• h - photograph, taken ten years pr« . .sly. when he attended the liraud Army encampment. He also ga\e tlnin to understand that he was a It* to support a wife as a wife should ,ie - .['polled and that he did hot so inii' h \al ie means as a faithful heart and a face free from wrinkles. Bunty made progress. He arranged ' with the ,vo women to meet him on a • i..ii day in the city, twenty miles ! from Tow Head Junction, one at the j union station at one hour, the other at j the jiost otilce at another. One was to ! wear a pink, the other a white rose. ! Bunty marked himself apart from all mankind by tying a red ribbon in his lapel buttonhole. He did not goto i the post ottb-e that morning, but took j the 010 train for the city. When j Shanghai went alter Lis mall the i>ost | master handed h.m a letter "Ain't for j Bunty. 1 reckon." he said, "as it's ad dressed Jlst William.'' Shanghai opened the letter and read: Dear William—Looking at tha map. I ■ee Tow Head Junction is very near tha city. I find tha ma! tmui from the city reaches Tow Head Juiiftlon fifteen min u'es before the train >ou will leave on Ketn there. »u I have decided togo to Tow Head Meet me on the station plat form. I will wear * pink I'AKULINK. "Must be for Bunty," Shanghai re flected as he set out to look him up. Jim Daniels said he saw Bunty at the depot and that he heard him ask for a tlckot to the city Before Shanghai got there the U.IU came, but the train from the city had not arrived. At the dei»ot they said It w as thirty minutes late. Bunty was to meet Caroline at the union station in the city at 10 o'clock. Caroline was the maiden lady with moans He had named 1 o'clock as the hour for seeing the widow who held the mining stock at the [>ost otlice. The widow also consulted time tables and maps She found that she could get a train to Tow Head Junction that would put her down there at 8:55 and that she could return to the city at main She decided to run out and look the place over. So w hen the train from the city which should have arrived at Tow Head before ltuuty left stopped two women pot off One wore a pink plntn-d to her bosom, the other a white 11is 1 The otic adorned by the rose was Tut. short broad faced and masculine. The tall wiitiiau scanned the men on the station platform. There was not a gleam of red ribbon on any of them. "Is Mr William Smith here?'" she asked the agent. "That tall gentleman over there," ho answered, pointing out Shanghai, who. having missed ltuuty had forgotten the letter and Caroline.

He is known as Bunty. I am Shanghai." Confusion followed. The women ac cused each other of treachery and Shanghai of deceit They drew a crow d. "If you will walk up the road with me, 1 may be able to explain," Shang hai suggested. They went. Half an hour later the fat one returned. She told the agent she had been tricked and deceived by William, otherwise Bunty, ~ Smith and that sin would not li\c ii a hole like I'ow Head for all the Smiths lu the world.

Another summer diversion for the fingers of the little girl at the seashore is the stringing of shells for a por tiere to the door of her father's den or mother's boudoir. All along the coast may tie found exquisite little shells that lend themselves deiiglitfully to this use. Some of the portieres that have been created by little linger- are most artistic, and surely father and mother would feel most gratified at having little daughter devote so much of her vacation leisure to making for theui such a lovely and desirable ad dition to the winter home. Clever Monkey*. Monkey cleverness has long been fa mous. They are past masters in the delicate use of their linger- A titi was wont to steal specimen insects from the cabinet in which they were kept. A niona could pick a lock, undo a knot or take off a ring. Livingstone's Miko was just as smart with lingers and thumb. A macaco opened boxes, and a marmoset turned over the leaves of a book which It pretended to read. A squirrel monkey which disliked tobac- j <o used to whip its master's cigar out of his mouth. There once was a goril la in the zoo at Dresden which would take off Its keeper's boots and put them on again. A capuchin removed the hinges of the door of its cage by ex tracting the nails and screws out of the wood. In Benares, where the mon keys are "spoiled," they play all sorts of tricks on passersby, besides pelting them with missiles. Even the orang outang has condescended to untie the knots in hi- chain. The monkeys that act as detectives in monkeydom must have a verv btlsv time of it. % Mini That Cannot I*l>. Who knows of a bird that cannot fly? Even a tame goose can fly, though very awkwardly. But I know of one, the auk. that cannot fly at all, for his wings are too short, and the poor fel low's legs are so short and are set so far back that he can hardly walk, llow, then, does he get about and find his food? An old Irish sailor explained that "all their walkin' is done by swiuunih'." Their broad webbed feet are good oars, and their short wings i are useful paddles.

The old game of polo is nothing more than the game of shinney on horseback or, rather, on ponybaek. The pony must be trained to play polo, and he must be gentle, quick and -wift.

When the train reached Blimton, he pulled tin- belliord and made for the door. Ihe < onductor, who happened to be in the car, seeing the act, gave a signal togo on, but not before the train had slowed down and the passenger had Jumped Then the conductor gave a terrific stop pull on the cord and made for the door him self. In a few minutes the train hands : were carrying the lifeles- body of the passenger into the baggage car. where i it remained till the train reached Its tirst regular stop. Six months after this event the nig.'it express carried a passenger who pre seiited a ticket to Blimton and was informed that only local train- stopped at that station. W hen tin- train reached J Blimton, the passenger went to th door and gave a leap in the dark \ I brakeman who saw him gave a stop signal, and the remains of the passeti ger, mutilated beyond recognition, were found lying beside the track. The next day the conductor of the ! lightning express made application to be transferred to a loi-al train that stopped at Blimton. "What do you want that for. Tow lerV" asked the fuperinteudeiit. "It will cut off a month of your pay." "I know it will," replied the con ductor.
