' asV Th Brwk In th Fog. ' There had been half a dozen stories of thick fogs, but Captain Mansfield had waited his turn with patience. It came at last, and the other captains turned their weather beaten faces to ward lilm with an expression of cheer ful credulity. "Twas told me of n house setting lretty nigh the shore along hnlfway down the coast o' Maine." said Cap tain Mansfield. "1 could show you the bouse if it came right. It has a curi ous lopsided portico on it, aud one day 1 asked the man that lives there why It happened to be built that queer shape. " Well.' says he. 'the talk is that the man who lived here first had a cousin that was au architect up Boston way, and one time the feller was down here In a terrible foggy spell, and he was figuring out to his cousin how he could build a little portico of such and such dimensions, measuring out Into the fog with Ms rule, and so on. Twas in the late afternoon. He went oft next day "by train. The fog still held, and along in the morning the man that lived here happened to notice that the marks of the rule out Into the fog were still plain, so as he couldn't go ' n-fisuing he took soiuc lumber and built the foundations of this portico. That ueer Jon that makes it lopsided Is. where the wind loro in on the fog. they say. and U-iu the rule marks in.' " FOR COUGHS THE WONDER WORKER FOR GOLDS .
