The pilot bad not jvt left ttie Mon arch, bouutl from I.otuloti to Sydney, ' when 1 was fairly well posteil ou the , uisspugcr lift. There wore twenty . ladies iu the cabin, ami half the lium- j ber had their husbands sIoiik. There were thirty-five men, huiI all but ten ! were fr? of bondage, of the twenty ladies tlirte or four were single, thtv or four were widows ami others had left husbands in Eimlitiul or were go ln to Join husbands la Australia. Wheu this list had lieen bulled down there was Just one to fall lu love with, who was down as Mrs, Ethel Warner. That melius she was a widow, twenty five years old, nuil riiti mid mxi look In!?. Before we were on" soundings I had made up my mind to fall lu love with Mrs. Warner. On the third dny oat. which Is the prpiier time to beKln a flirtation, pro vided the weather Is all riht. I found that the other twenty-four men were of my way of thinking. It Is easy pnouixli to hritiR about nn Introduction on shipboard. If you can't find a mutual ariiiilntniiee, then Introduce yourself. When I got ready to fall In love , with Mrs. Warner I walked up to her, handed her my card find a few compliments, and the thins whs done. She was pleased to say that she was glad to make my in qtnilntnnce, and an hour later I was in love. Mrs. Warner was as well bred as she was handsome. She asked no ques tions about five or six children. She didn't express surprise that 1 hail lived to tl'e nue of forty without having fallen In love IWore She might have shown some little doubt In her look or speech when 1 said Unit I was going out to Austratln to sell out my sheep ranches and return to England with $2110.000 and marry and settle down, but nothing occurred to alarm me. At the end of a couple of hours I felt that I hud won her, and there could be no sort of doubt In ber niliul that she had me hooked fast I walked about know ing that twenty-four men envied me and hated mo and called me names be hind my back, but not fr long. That same evening a young doctor who was pulng out to the colony got some one to Introduce him, nnil 1 saw Mrs. Win ner hanging to his nnn as lovingly ns she hud hung to mine Later on 1 found the doctor In his cabin. The im pecunious shrimp had retired to grin and chuckle and feel puffed up. I am nn aggressive man. I allow nobody to Interfere with my vested rights. 1 dif termlned to squelch that doctor right on the start, and when I had been ad mitted to his cabin I didn't lose a min ute In saying: "Sir, I desire you to understand right here and now that 1 iiiu as good as engaged to Mrs. Warner, and i waot no more of this lollipop business!" "If you are engaged to her she does not know It," he replied after recov ering from his surprise. Then we had a scrap, in w hich blood was drawn and clothing torn, and il was understood that as soou as we lauded In Australia there should be a shooting match. Ou the next day the widow was mine for a couple of hours. While I talked love more or less, 1 felt it my duty to warn her against the other twenty-four men In the most sol emn manner. The lady thanked me over and over again for my more than brotherly Interest, and when I at lust handed ber to u seat and went off for a smoke I was ready to ask ber to name the day. After tifllu that evening, when 1 had gone to my cabin to change coats, the door was suddenly banged open, and a fellow named Itlrhards entered. I bad learned that he was a needy lawyer, going out to the colony In holies to better his purse. "Sir, I want a few plain words with you!" began the miserable wretch as I confronted him. "I am as good as en gaged to Mrs. Warner, and if you will only bear that In mind hereafter It may save you trouble." Wo cume together. We clawed, kick ed, lilt and pulled hair, and we were both badly damaged when we got through As soon as I could properly appear on deck I decided to settle mailers one way or the other. I was waiting fur the widow to appear when I was in vited to the smoking room to debute a matter of business. 1 found the oth it twenty-four men there. When the meeting bad been called to order a " al low youth arose unit Inquired if It was understood that the whole twenty five of us were lu love with some woman. It was so understood He then stated that be felt himself engaged to that woman and wanted to know If the ret of us did. We felt so Then the cal low youth asked if any one mid a sug gestion to offer Twenty four sugges tions were nfti n d in i liorus, hut f tie callow youth turned them all dim n fot one of Ins own Then evet vboil y drew in his breath nnd turned on his neighbor, but iielntv n blow bad been strtnk the inrer anil n lady Hlepped inside.

He Dnzed Lew Wallace. Shortly after the first success of "Hen Hur" Lew Wallace had ocvnslou to go over to London and one day pick ed up a pirated copy of the novel at a railroad newsstand. To his amaze ment he found the subtitle left oft, a preface Interpolated and oue of the chapters rewrltteu. Of course he boil ed with rage, mid as soon as possible he called on the publisher. That gen tleman coolly admitted his crime and told Wallace he thought the amended form better adapted to the llritlsh taste, donchorknow. Ills gall was so stupendous that the novelist was awed and went away without spilling bis gore. Old Joke Books. Jest books long: antedate the comic paper.

A sweet faced old lady walked up Fifth avenue hanging on to the arm of her husband, who was a little bit hard of hearing. A girl brushed past them rudely, bumping into the little old lady. "She didn't even say 'Excuse uie,'" she said indignantly to her husband. "What, my dear?" he inquired mildly. The old lady repeated her statement in a louder tone. Still the old gentle man did not understand. "Excuse mo!" she shrieked above the rush and roar of the automobiles. "Certainly, my dear," he answered graciously, "lint what did you do?" New York I'ost. Begin Now to Live. After a long stern chase I am con vinced that the ingredients of happi ness are very few and aim pit. The trouble with most of us Is that we think we want too many things and ho miss our true aim in the effort to ob tain them. It is belter to put beauty In your life than money in your purse, tiilt edgeil stocks will not compensate you for the poverty of the inlnd. A city mansion and a country house, the seductions of society and the vain I pursuit of the aniseed bag will not make up to you for a dearth of soul life.

The northern boundary line of Dela ware Is circular because the charter given to 1'enn states that Pennsylvania was to be "hounded on the east by the Delaware river from twelve miles distant north of Newcastle town until the three and fortieth degree of north latitude," and that the southern bound ary was to tie "a circle drawn at twelve miles distant from the tjjwn of Newcastle northward and westward until the fortieth degree of north lati tude nnd then by n straight line west ward."
