MW PERFECTION OIL CGDK TOE i ( An Ineffective Revenge By ALAN HINSDALE A vehicle Homml t tile country re Idence of Mrs. Vau Arsdale,' and a mua , taking a phonograph from It, carried II to the front door. Miss Iilrdie Van Arsdale was sitting on the porch at the time and asked him what she could dc for him. Presenting the phonograph he said: I am Introducing the bandar alara phonograph. It la c ipe ially designee; . for unprotected fiirni'ies and renders other defenses umici.cs.-ary. It la eon tiected electrically with such openingf In the house as would he considered available by a burglar, wound read for line, and dp his breaking the con neetlon the clockwork in set going The machine tlii.ii addresses the bur glar, who, finding his presence in tot house to be known, beats a preclpitatt retreat." The prelude to such encomiums as a drummer kuowg how to pour out upon what be has for sale caused the youu lady- to call out: "Mother! Come here." Mother came. 'Hie salesman repeated what be bad already said and contln ued iike a trotting horse en an endless track: "It the burglar la one of the desper ate kind any uicihIkt of the family who has beeti awakened by the phono graph's first word inuy move a Hlide marked 'Shoot:' und the report 6f a pistol will be heard. This tilde." point ing to another, "is to tall the police." j Mother and daughter exchanged ', glauces. They were deprived of inan'i , protection and never went to bed with j out poking canes and umbrellas undeij tlielr beds. Mr. Van An-dalc wa! obliged to spend his summers in thf city and was rarely with them. When1 he came up he lay like a watchdog on a wire inclosed portion of he porch, and hi wife and daughter slumbered. Mrs. Van Arsiklu a. I.cd '.he ptico oi cue of the phonographs, drew a check for the $00 asked, and afier siie new owuer hud been duly Instructed the drummer le'm-ted. It was 8a:ui'ity evening. Mr. Vao J,radsln bad wri:teii that he would not t be aldei to spend! the week end with his family, and after the house was closed for the night Mrs. Van Arsdale and ber daughter placed the phonograph at the top of the staircase leading down to the front door. The salesman had put In all the connections, and there was noth ing to be done except make the attach ments. These things having been at- j tended to, the ladies went to bed, and iceu uu uouviou reigneu over aiL Mr. Van Arsdale changed his mind and went home. It was Just twenty minutes to 12 when Mr. Van Arsdale arrived vat home and stepped lightly on to hi poreh that he might not awaken his wife and daughter. His out of door bedding not being provided, he thought he would go upstairs stealthily and get It In serting his night key, he oiened the door and as he stepped into the hall felt his foot catch in some obstruction, (such as a fine wire or light string. Wliii t was his astonishment to bear a sonorous voice burst forth : "Aha ! You thought to get in here without our knowing it, did you? Ad vance at your peril I I've got the drop on you I An Inch further and you're a dead man !" It must be admitted that such a re eejition on entering his own house had a marked effect on Mr. Van Arsdale. The only motion he made was throw ing up of his hands. He could not see the speaker, hut he supikwih the speak er could sec him, since he had declared that, be had the drop. At the first challenge of the intruder Mrs. Van Arsdale and Birdie both slid out of bed and made for the position of tho phonograph, reaching it Just as the talking machine pronounced the words "a dead man." "Is he going out?" whispered Mrs. Van Arsdale, shivering. "No," replied the daughter. "I think I can bear blm down there near the door." "Push the slide calling the police." Birdie felt for the slide', but, not be ing able to see In the dark, struck the wrong one. There was a shot, follow ed by the words." Well, then, take that:" Something was heard to drop in the hall below. j "What have you done?" cried the 1 mother frantically. "1 told you to move the slide calling the police! You've killed him!" "Why, mother, it wasn't a real shot. It couldn't hurt any one." The imagination y powerful-at least Mr. Van Arsdale found It so, for ou hearing the shot lie felt a shock; Ills knees gave way and let him down. When he heard his wife accusing his daughter of having killed him, not feel ing at ail dead, he called out In bis own true voice: "thut in tuiuid 'r is nil this about?" "Why. It's papal" ciiud Iliidie. "Oh. Lienr.y. are Jou kill (!'; I mean are you f. i; l.trncil to death?" "I re ton rant's nliaut it-frightened to tV-ctli.

There wa one ceremony of ancleut and honorable standing about the ob servance of which Colonel Whittlesey was very' particular.

There was no likelihood i.f the men pay ing attention to this ceremony III the presence of an enemy occupying a par allel eigzng trench to themselves, but the coltmel " considered It one of the ways to prepare, them for this warfare, and If the gun was not tired twice a day on the minute of sunrise and sun set woe betide the culprit whoso duty It was to attend to th.- emitter. Now, It so happened that Colonel Whittlesey, who was a widower, was attentive to a widow, Mrs. Eleanor Andrews, whose son was being trained at the fort, and the indy wa stayUig with the wife of one of the otDcvrs ou duty there. 'Nevertheless his courtship did not prevent him from being watch ful of the neglect of any of hi favor ite observances.
