MISSING SKELETON.
It Laid tha Foundation for a Love
Story Before Tt Turned Up,
The first night in the new houses-how ln
effubly dreary it was I
May day had dawned with blue sky and
winds full of treacherous halminess, but
lonff before noon it had clouded over, and
with the dusk a fine, needle pricking sort of
rain had set in, which, without making
much outward show, had yet contrived to
drench us girls through and through as we
made our way along the streets with the
parrot's cage, the musio box uud the b-st
duplex lamp with tho juweled glass shade,
the three household treasures which for the
life of us we dared not trust to tim t.iw
mercies of the truckman, in spite of his
manifold vows and declarations that he had j
moved the very best families in New York. I
and some of 'em every May day for ten
years.
W e eked out our painfully insufficient in
come, Beulah and I, by lotting lodgings, and
we did not always have luck in the busi-
ness.
To speak paradoxically, the new house
was an 010 nouse, and not in the test of re
pair. 1 ne yard gate was off its hinges ; ono
window blind banged distractiugly against
the north side whenever the wind took a

deavored to warm a can of cold tea above
mo iiicaenng gas Jet we could distino:ly
hear the rain leaking through on the floor
nbovo our heads with a "drop-drop'' like the
ticking of a clock.
As lor me, I had cut my fingers trying to
T" uu " saruines, and was dolorously
endeavoring to stanch the blood wilh a far
from immaculate pocket-handkerchief when
the last load came.
The truckman and his assistant were
tired and cross, and a little the worse for
beer; the old horse was played out; the
rain drove harder and harder, and the wind
blew out the shadeless gas in the hall just
as the little old assistant dropped the basket
that contained the best crockery with a
srash. And we were glad enough when at
.ength the last bundle of Disorganized stove
pipes was flung into the basement UcW, and
the truckman vanished like an ugly dream
into the mist and darkness.

"And I hope no one'll never accuse me of

as if prepared to burst into

"It's it's full of-bones !" I gasped

Mrs. Dawson stared steadily into her 1 ock

as a tombstone. I knew I was behaviui
very badly, but what could I do!
"I'm sorry I opened tho trunk," said I
"but I was so dreadfully, awfully curiom
to know what was in it."
"Believe me, Miss Barry," said theyoung

aid that his "copral" had told him not to

'What was the man who made the ..i,....

DOGS THAT WENT FISHING.
A Newfoundland That H'ns Fond of Catch.
inc Crabs.
I once knew two dogs that, took great
delight in catching crabs, says a writer
in Forest and Stream, nut soft crabs,
but lusty, hard ones, capable of making
a good fif,'ht. When about twelve years
of age I used to spend my vacations at
a large farm on a tributary of the Chesa
peake bay. Uesidcs myself there was
another boy and two dogs at this house.
One of the dogs was a large Newfound
land, and the, other .was one of those
medium-sized, puzzling ('011111111:111(1118 oi

One dav I noticed the Inrrre iln? vend

foot of the yard and evidently,,,.,, rolling
for something. I found that he was
looking for oralis. When a cntli vena

and, after making several attempts,

the beach, and then play with it, much
as a cat does with a mouse, until the
poor crab was either dead or helplessly
exhausted. He seemed to do this for
the mere sport of the thing, liarkiny all
the time in a tone that denoted excite
ment rather than anger. lie never ate
the crabs after killing them. The crabs
fought back to the best of their ability,
ami it was often difficult to say which
had the tightest grip, dog or crub, for
the crab would fasten on to some por
tion of the dog's mouth with both of his
powerful pinchers, and it would require
much shaking before he would drop off.

A patent strikes most people as an appalling

Bell; that he must devote years to delvlnr in
complicated mechanical problems and that he
must spend a fortune on delicate experiments
before he can get a new device to a nai,.mi,i
degree of perfectlbn. This delusion the com
