' Gentleman Talks

He Came to Take Up
Tramping.

""?XE evening lu the outskirts
If I of au Ohio village," bogan
J the dilapidated gentleman
as he rua asked for a rem
iniscence of the road, "I knocked at a
comfortable looking house to ask for
a bit? to cat aud leave to make my bed
undej; the currant bushes. The door
was 'opened by a woman weighing
about 200 pounds and having a moth
erly look ail over her. Just let me tell
you something rlut here. If It wasn't
for the fat women of America the
tramp would soon be an unknown
Quantity. They are as big hearted as
well, as big bodied. Not once In a
hundred times have I appealed to them
In vain. On this occasion I hadn't got
my mouth, open, before the good wom
an saluted me with:
" 'You poor fellow! But come right
In and get something to eat I don't

believe you have had a full meal iu a
week. , Helen, help jue to set out the
cold victuals,'
"Helen was her niece. Bho was an
old maid. She had a turn up nose and
wore glasses, nnd she looked, upon me
as dirt beneath her feet. She assisted
her auut, but very reluctantly, and I
overheard her tn iking flguinst me. If
It bud, bocn left to her 1 should have
got the bounce Instead of a good sup
per. I knew that some sort of a story
would, be expected of me when I had
eaten,' und It occurred to me to heap
coals ,$f fire on the old maid's head In
revciige. Sure enough, as 1 shoved
back from the tuble the fat woman set
tled herself In a rocking chair and
aid: .
" 'You must have had some adven
tures jwhllo tramping over the coun
try?" '
" Tes'm;,a few.',
"'What started you on the tramp? ,
"'Now, auntie, what do wo care?"
put hi the old maid. 'lie's a tramp,
and that's euough. He Is probably
anxious to be ou his way.' .
" 'And I'm anxious to hear hira talk.
Why did you take tip tramping?'
" 'It la a story that I seldom tell,' I
replied, with a choke In my throat, 'but
you have been ho kind to me that It
would bo selfish lu tne to withhold It.
You may at some time have read or
heard of Chief Justice Rathskaller of
Washington. Well, he Is my father.'
"'You don't uiiy!' gasped the widow,
whilo the old maid pricked up her ears
and grew Interested at once.
" 'Ten years eg when I left college,
my father wanted me to follow In his
footsteps, or at least to become a law
yer. That was also my ambition, and
perhnpf l should have been ou the
bench today, but for a trifling Incident.
One day my mother sent me to the
laundry to say that the towels sent
home were short by one.' .
" 'Yes; I've heard how them city
laundries keep back tilings, replied the
widow.
"'At the laundry I could get no sat
Isfaction about the missing towel, lint
the girl who was running the tunncle
Instantly attracted my attention. She
was as handsome and had about such
a figure As this young lady here. ' ner
bearing was proud and aristocratic, as
Miss Helen's Is.'
""Tiiauk you,' simpered the old maid
ns she hitched her cbulr a foot nearer
and began to smile.
" "lJuat mangle girl captured my ad
miration In a moment and my heart
wlthlitx five. Twice again during the
day I returned to the laundry to upeuk
with Iier, nnd within two days I had
told her that I could not live without
her. I loved ns the strong man loves.
Had oceans rolled between us I would
have drunk them dry to kneel at her
feet.'
" 'Gracious, but you must have had It
hard!' exclaimed the widow.
'VI have always wanted to be loved
that way,' added, Miss Helen as she
gave tne a tender look.
'"Within a week' I had proposed and
been accepted. Then I found that
Jeanette was the daughter of a million
aire frho had put nil his money Into
a flying machine and it had flown
away from him. She had sold her
clothes nnd Jewels and gone to work
In the laundry to help him get a new
start.1 We had been engnged two
weekj when my father told me one
evening tfiht I must marry a girl
named Aramnntha Kehermerhorn. His
mind Lad been made up for some time.
but ho hud taken his time about In
forming me."
"'And yon refused? queried the old
maid. ,'Oh, Uo not tell me that you
Jilted the other! -
" 'I refused, of course. For the first
time In my life I deflod -uijr father.
Ararnanthrfi' papa owned" a theater,
and tad I wed her we could have all
had free Jijisscsjand I "could have gone
Denuia me scenes oow ana men, out
bo ar4j;;cu"cotild mak'ij me give up
my JemiKte of the mangle.'
"'Oodtl for you!' said the widow as
(be slapped the arm of the rocking
chair. :" .
K aavjajavatfiii j iFffjsrwnnitw i
There was true nobility In your ac
tion,' added the old maid.
"'When my father found that he
could not prevail upon me to carry out
his wishes he rose up with fierce mien
and a voice shaking with emotion and
said that he would mangle the girl of
the mangle before she should bring
disgrace upon his house. I paid no
attention to his words, but walked off.
Alas, I did not know my own father!
The very next night as Jeanette ceased
to mangle the collars and cuffs and
walked homeward thinking of me some
one told her that there was a dog fight
around the comer. She hastened her
steps to see, aud it was her undoing.
Some one came up behind ber and hit
her with a crowbar and broke ber
neck. She called my name and then
expired. Excuse me If I I'
" Toor nian! sighed the widow as I
turned my face away.
"What a romance! What nobility
of character! mused the old maid.
"'It was never ascertained who kill
ed Jeanette,' I continued after a prpcT
Interval, 'but I have every reason to
believe my owu father to 1m? the guilty
party. In fact, when I chaiged him
with It he simply grluued sardonically.
I called him her murderer and cursed
him and fled from his presence. In an
other day I was a wanderer, and I am
a wanderer still.'
" 'Hut why don't you go home some
times?' asked the widow as she wiped
her tears of sympathy away. ...
"'Can't you understand, auntie,' re
plied the other, 'that he no longer cares
to mingle with life? He has received
a great shock. His heart has been
broken. As he Wanders o'er the face
of the earth be thinks of hit dead
Jeanette. Down In bis heart there Is
the hope that some day some day be
may meet up with some young lady
some young lady who will remind him
of the loved and lost so strongly re
mind him that he will cease to sorrow
and'-
"She halted there, and I nodded my
head-but the widow bluntly finished:
'"'And marry her and be happy
again! Well, mebbe he will. I'm sure
I hope so. Helen, what are you blush
ing and hitching around so for?"
"It was mean of me." smiled the
dilapidated gentleman, "but It had be
gun to rain, and It was dark as tar out
doors. . I couldn't bcTp but sigh and
wipe my eyes. When I had finished
sighing and wiping I couldn't help but 1
look lovingly at both those women. !
couldn't help but see that I had found
a substitute for my lost Jeanette, but
which ono It, was was what puzzled :
them. I had ye parlor bedroom thstt
night and a staving good breakfast In
the morning, and I could have hung
around there for a' week and had the
best In the land, but I overheard some
conversation that mado me anxious to
strike the road again.
" 'Why, auntie, you surely don't
think of marrying again?' I heard the
spinster ask.
' 'Never you mind what I'm thinking
of, Helen Bmitherg,' wns the reply.
I've heard of women throwing them
selves at men's heads, but I never saw
It done till liwt night.' " M. QUAD.

Dryden'a Base.
The story I told that Dryden, finish
ing his translation of, "Virgil," sent It
to Jacob Tonson for. publication for a
sum specified upou . the manuscript
Tonson was desirous of .obtaining the
book, . but determined to. take' advan
tage of Drydeu's need of money. He
therefore Informed the poet that he
could not pay the sum Dryden asked.
In reply Dryden sent the following
line In description of the publisher:
WUh leering look, bull faced and freckled
fair,
With two left legs, with Judas colored
hair
And frowsy pores that taint the ambient
air. t
When this waa delivered to Tonson
he asked If Dryden had said anything
more. "Yes," replied the beurer, "he
said to tell the dog that he who wrote
these lines could write more I kethem."
Tonson aent the money at once.
Crocodile and the Core.
One does not usually connect croco
diles with a health resort rather the
reverse but the creatures are quite a
feature of the Indian bathing plnce of
Manghaplr, about nine miles from Ka
rachi. This town Is a place of pilgrim
age for pious Hindoos, but It Is chiefly
famous for the value of Its waters In
the cure of the drend scourge of lep
rosy. The waters are hot nud more
than 00 per cent of the sufferers who
bathe there annually, It Is said, are
cured. , The crocodiles are rather iwte
worthy In that they live In tho hot
water, apparently suffering no Incon
venience from Its temperature or me

rebel Sepoy, who was under examina

white In the course of half an hour.
