'i ve had to make it up. and I thought I'd get down early so that my regular work would not suffer." Mr. Armour said nothing, but be wat Immensely pleased. He quietly ordered the young man's pay raised 128 a month, and that young man was so astounded when he found how fortunately his night Of dissipation had served him,, he deter mined never to touch liquor' again, being convinced that such a stroke. of luck could never happen twice.

Now shs has to lost ber nerve that whan her husband dreams of cats Be always persists in telling her about It she gets out ef tbe market promptly, even though compelled to take a loss. Thus It was that a mere men tion of eats sent her fleeing from the place lest the have another streak, of bad luck. .It Is a very common occurrence to tee two tr three women over a friendly cup of tea at the luncheon hour turning 4he cups like fortune-tellers to aee whether something good.
