strain of Uncle Hobart's illness well,
but the peculiarities of the physician,
chosen by Uncle Hobart himself, had
been, to say the least, trying. "Do
you really think he will recover, Dr.
Shaw?" asked the oldest sister of the
invalid, who had borne with his va
garies patiently for years.
"I know how you feel, with Thanks
giving coming on and all," said the
doctor, peering at her from under his
shaggy eyebrows, "but it's too soon to
tell. He may get well, and then again,
he may not; I can't encourage you yet
either way." -

A young mother went upstairs one
vening to be sure that her son was
safely sleeping. As she paused at
the door of the nursery she saw her
husband standing by the side of the
crib, gazing earnestly at the child.
As she stood still for a moment,
touched by the sight, tears filled her
eyes, and she thought, "How dearly
Frederick loves that boy!" Imagine
the shock to her feelings when he sud
denly turned toward her and said:
"Amelia! It is Incomprehensible to
me how they can get up such a crib
as this for three dollars and sixty
cents." ' .

The shades of night were falling.
Swiftly and gracefully an aeroplane
descended, landing as lightly as a
feather on the smooth roadway of the
boulevard.
Forth stepped an elegantly attired
man, wearing a mask.
Snatching a purse from a richly ap-
pareled dame who was passing, he
stepped back into the aeroplane and
was soaring aloft and disappearing in
the distance before it occurred to the
astonished victim to let loose a scream.
