We had some offish neighbors once
that moved in down the road.
We reckoned they was ’bout the proud-
est folks we'd ever knowed.
An’ when we pessed ‘em now an’ then
we held our heads up high
To make dead sure they couldn’t snub
us if they was to try.
It really made me nervous,
braced up one day
An’ thought I'd go ahead an’ show my
manners anyway.
On Sunday, ’stid o’ turning round an’
gazing at the view,
I looked at them ys, “Hello!’
An’ they says, “Hewdy do!”

It wa'n't the cold an’ formal greetin’
that you've sometimes heard;
smiled and’ said it hearty, like
they meant it every word.
It’s solemn to reflect on what we
along life's way
By not jes’ being natural an’ good
humored day by day.
There's lots of folks who fling
simple joys of life aside.
Because they dread the shadow of their
own unconscicus pride.

friend was not yet stirring, and went |
back to bed with a parting emphasis
upon the dull ears of the waiter that
he wanted breakfast served at ten
o'clock. At that hour the bell woke
him again; he hobbled down, let in
the commissary, and went back to
rouse Geoffrey. He rapped on the door
but got no answer. Then he went in-
to the darkened room, let up the
shades and saw that the bed was not
only empty but that it had been un-
occupied during the night. He
searched the rooms and the closets
before he went downstairs, but there
was no sign of either Fairchild or his
baggage. Cn the hall rack, however,
he found Geoffrey’s hat hanging just
where its wearer had placed it the aft-
ernoon before. This set him to think-
ing that perhaps his friend was lolling
about, but a half hour's search yielded
no further trace of the vanished
guest. The waiter was gone. There
was no help for it but to continue his
explorations of the house alone. Tt
was nearly noon bafore he b:sgan to
feel faint for want of his breakfast.
He ate it, puzzled, worried and waited,
but no Fairchild appeared. The next
morning his mail brought him a letter
from Geoffrey. It was dated Beau-
mont and said that the writer was
just starting for Chicazo and would
“drop in.”. The date line and post
mark both showed that the letter had
been written only the day bcfore Geof-
frey had come, and how he had man-
aged to beat the fast mail from Texas
was almost as puzzling as his extra-
ordinary behavior after arriving.
Manning suspected that Fairchild had

but turn and twist the thing as he
night he couldn't guess where the
lauzh was to come in if it was a joke.
While he was- finishing his coffee a
telegram came which set Vincent's
neari to heating uneasily about his ab-
sent wife and boy; but it, too, proved
from Fairchild, dated Texark-
ana, thus: “Delayed here two days.
Will see you Saturday night sure.

On Saturday right Manning was so
curious to find ont what sort of a plot

The casuai glance notes little if an

Captious critics of the naminz of
American thoroughbreds may possibly
at times carry their alliterative Bwin-

for instance, is a vile name for a race-

saic, unimaginative breeders ought not

The Ottoman Government has
bought the English concession for a

the line will be built for strategical
purposcs, it can hardly fail gradual

The report of the French bark Vin
