Tho senior composed his features to an expression of gravity for a moment but the smllo camo out again, broad ened nnd broko Into n laugh. "That's not so bad either, considering," he said. "But I give you my word I never thought of lt before." "Of the boy?" "Of ha, hnl Say, do you know things havo been going wrong with me this morning? I don't know when I ever got up feeling uglier. Seo my chin?" "Cut yourself, didn't your' "Yes, I cut myself, but that wasn't tho only thing. I got up late to begin with and that nearly always makes me mad when I want to get up early for any reason. I figured on finishing rak ing up tho leaves on tho lnwn and burning them in tho back lot before breakfast I worked llko a nailer last evening on the Job and I had quite a pile raked up. Well, when I looked out of the window I saw that tho wind had come up and scattered them all over where I'd raked. That was enough to make a man mad, wasn't itr "Certainly," said the Junior sympa thetically. Then, when I took up my trousers the change fell out of my pockets and ono coin rolled under the bed. I struck a match to Bee where It was and tho flame caught tho fringe of the counterpane nnd It got scorched pretty badly. It waa a counterpane that my wlfo thought a great deal of, too. I burned my hand n little beating lt out not enough to hurt n 'jreat deal, but enoueh to make me feel llko saying things best left unsaid. I Just caught a glimpse of the coin nnd I took It for a $5 gold piece. I had a couple of them In my pocket nnd I'd only picked up one, so I crawled under the bed after lt I'm a pretty tight flt for tho space, by tho wny." "You'ro not ns slim as you used to be," said the Junior. "Go on ; my heart aches for you." "I got a lock of hair tangled in tho wire springs. You needn't laugh. I haven't much hair, but I bad enough for that I promptly extracted part Ut lt and part of It I left there. Then I got my penny nnd backed out knock ing my head against tho sldo rail as I did so. As I rose to my feet I saw the 5 gold piece nestling coyly against the foot of the bureau. So it's no wonder I cut myself when I shaved-or that I was not exactly pleasant to ray wife at the breakfast table when I blistered my throat with the coffee and she told mo I usually made such a fuss If it wasn't hot " "l ddn't blame you," said tho Junior. . "But that hardly explains your pleasant humor now." "Well," said the senior partner, "I started for the train full of gall and bitterness, nnd with four minutes to make It WIsner wns ahead of me. You know WIsner, don't you? That pursy, dignified chump we met in tho drug store laBt time you were down Well, here came tho train In and I waa still 200 yards from the station nnd WIsner wns a hundred yards ahead of me, when he stubbed his too and went rolling and sprawling right Into the middle of the worst puddle of mud you ever saw, bis hat under him. "I didn't stop. I made a spurt nnd I JuBt got on ns the train pulled out I looked back then nud saw WIsner scramble up, covered with mud. Ho grabbed his hat, made a short run nnd then, seeing It was no good, stop ped and shook his fist at the train.

Chicago postal ofllcinls have officially announced that the origin of tho post age stamp had been definitely discov ered after much Investigation nnd turning of tho leaves of ancleut official folios. The story of tho origin of tho mod ern postage stamp is tho tale of a lit tle deception practiced by a serving woman in a little Inn in a remote Eng lish country mauy years ago. Rowland IIIH, then postmaster Ken- eral of his majesty King George IV., was doing tho Hnroun Al Raschld act In rural postoillces. He had stopped one night at the little Inn, which, In tho typical manner of English inns, had Its ale served by a protty barmaid. Tho postman, entering, announced a letter from Australia for tho wench and said the chnrgo upon It amounted to a shilling. The bnrmnld took lt In her hands, aud eyed both sides of the pnper, which had couio hnlf around tho world, most wistfully. Then, win ing her eyos, sho returned lt to tho postmnn with a sigh, saying that Bhe was too poor to pay tho charge. uowlaua Ulll pitied her distress ami himself advanced the shilling. Tho girl had said; "It la from my poor brother In Australia, whom I haven't Been for years." When ho told hen Bho was froo tn. opon thq letter, sho manifested somo reiuctnnco, ana no delight Her em barrassed . mnnnor aroused tho suanl. cloi8 of Mr. Hill. Boforo leaving tho Inn next morn lng ho questioned tho barmaid nt' French Squadron for Jamestown. Paris, Nov. C Franco will send a WSadT .! '10,000 In booty after alh , and finally drew from her the -jrunuiHK agm, we casualties are re- commence mat sho didn't need to 1807' ' ' ported. Upon the, letter, since there was-ouy the envelope, upoh which In fnlnt char acters were notations tuat told all her brother had to say. Before tho latter le t England, the girl said, sho and he had devised a system to cor respond without expense. They agreed that wheu either received a letter ho or she was to handlo it fondly, while protesting Inability to pay the charge, and after reading tho secret notations to return the letter to tho postman.
