The Diary
J
By r. E. C. ROBDINS.
The look of satisfaction on Caleb
-il-lcs's fr.ee Tbrn he tnmr home
J..e afttiiiooii alUailed attention al
most as soon as the bulky parrel that
he carried in his hand.
"What on earth have you got now
lint you're so tickled over?" de
manded his wife. She took the par
.el from Caleb's unresisting hands.
He watched her with a kind of fas
cination while she Impatiently tore
off the brown wrapping-paper, and as
she brought to view something that
looked like an overgrown account
hook he found voice to say, "It's
only a diary."
"A diary!" echoed Mrs. Jenkins.
"Just as though you had patience
enough to keep a diary! I should
Judge by the size of the book that
you expected to write In It every day,
and live to be a hundred, at that!"
Then, as she opened the book, she
exclaimed, "Why, It's been used!
Somebody has palmed off a second
hand diary on to you, Caleb Jen
kins!" "Oh, that's why I bought It.' I
v anted to see If I couldn't floor Zen
18 Perkins with It once in a while.
You see, Zenas has got to be con
siderable of a nuisance with that
diary of his, that he's kept for a
dozen years or more.
"He doesn't allow anybody else to
know anything. If anybody remarks
that this is the warmest October
that he ever see, why, Zenas hi ready
to prove that the mercury averaged
:o run higher in October only two
yars ago.
"Then he's always wanting to
Unow if we remember that It Ib just
o many years aso to-day that Joel
f ike's barn burned, or that some
Miing or other else happened. Only
I lie other day I was Baying that
Crp'n Baker's third wife hadn't been
more'n Blx months when he
.r.arrlei his fourth, and Zenas took
pic ri?ht up, and got hiB diary, and
showed by It that the cap'n had re
iru'ned a widower Just eight months
and elever days.
"You can't bring up a namable
thing but Zenas Is waiting to pounce
on you with his diary. And I don't
believe he's right more'n half the
time. I calc'late he doesn't keep
the diary along regular, but writes It
up at odd Jobs rainy days."
"I s'posed Zenes spent his rainy
days hanging about the store, like
some other folks I know.".
"Time and again," continued Ca
leb, disregarding his wife's thinly
veiled allusion, "I've . thought of
keeping one myself; but a diary has
to have some age before It's good
for much, and Zenas had most too
much of a start.
"One day, when I had an errand
at old Uncle Artemas Baxter's, I
found him writing In a big book, and
oe remarked that be had kept a
diary for thirty odd years, and I
thought then that I'd kinder like to
get hold of It. Well, when the old
gentleman passed away, and I heard
that his son-in-law, Seth Strout, was
a-dlsposing of the household goods,
I ree'lected the diary, and thought
I'd see If I couldn't dicker for it.
I've just come from Seth's, and
there's the book. I'm going to read
It all through, and then I'm going to
keep It along myself, -and we'll see
If Zenas Perkins will be the only au
thority on happenings in Pondtown!"
"How much did you pay for that
book?" asked Mrs. Jenkins. "If
you paid for it by weight It must
have come to considerable."
"Well, I paid three and a half for
It. I offered two, and Seth wanted
Cve, and finally we split the differ
ence." "Three dollars and a half! Well,
I never did!" and Mrs. Jenkins re
tired to the kitchen, leaving her bus
band to the undisturbed perusual of
hia dearly bought treasure.
When she looked In on him, an
hour later, Caleb was still poring
over the book, but the exultation had
fa led from bis eyes.
"Alvlra," he said, mournfully,
"I've spent three dollars and a half
ircadfully foolish."
"I guess that's no Dews, Caleb
Jenkins," was the crt reply.
' Now just listen 'o this," said Ca
leb, too much absorbed In hia trou
n'.c to notice his wife's displeasure.
"This Is one day's record: 'October
the eighteenth. O, the corruption in
hlrh places! O, the wickedness that
l-i'.t'lks abroad! We have indeed
iiillen upon evil times. I myself am
ns prone to evil aa the Bparks to fly

"There, lt' Just like that, Alvlra,

snd accounts of hia ailments and
what he took for 'em,' but theie'b

"This book Isn't wuth a red cent
to me, Alvlra," he continuej, bitter
ly. "Of course Seth wouldn't take
It back. I believe I'll heave it into
the stove."
"Oh, no, Caleb, don't do that!"
said the good woman, her heart soft
ened by her husband's dejection. "I
need just such a book. I'm al,vays
warning to press leaves aud flowers,
you know, and pretty much all of
the books In the bouse are full. That
diary will be just the thing. I'm
proper glad you got It, Caleb."

THE CHAMPION RUNNER'S LAST RUN.
Ha Certainly was a Faat Sprinter, But
Ran Into Debt,
"I'm the real thing as a runner."
said Howard James majestically as
he aeated himself at the first home
dinner since his return from college.
His mother and sister looked at him
in sheer admiration.
"Yea, mother, I wish you could have
been at the nniverslty to see me run.
During the football season I ran
nway from every one on th team.
They were not In It for a minute.
In the classes I took the lead leaving
them in the lurch. I always stood
highest In my lectures. And then
when tt camo to selecting a presi
dent for the naughty-nine clasa I
made the race. Wh.-r, the voting atart
,d I ran sero . but at the last, well,
1 ran ahead of all of the other can
didates. There's no doubt about It,
I'm a runner. Of course, when the.
'.anebtll season opened the crowd
vanted me to get on the team. At
lirst I hesitated because I realised
my superiority, but persuasion suc
ceeded. I weut on tbe team and the
way I ran bases waa a positive shame.
The)- I went Into the track meet. I
ran ten yards in ten seconds almost
equalling the world's record. Yes, I
am a ruuner. Then "
"Then you ran Into debt," Inter
runted old man James with a distinc
tive grunt, "and I have to pay you
out."
