For one thing, as a rule, they are chatterboxes and let out everything they ought to keep to themselves. If they are your guests, meaning no harm, they gossip about your domestic affairs, discuss your character, tell all the little stances of your daily life, and, lo. fools, unwittingly distort all they relate and exaggerate into the veriest trifles that may have occurred. A accent I was in one act of it myself the other day on Twenty-third street. I assure you that I am not particular- proud of the part I played, but then, I did it purely from necessity, not choice. I started out to shop that afternoon, the sky was perfectly clear, but in about an hour it came on to rain very suddenly, and I was caught without an umbrella. I had a new bonnet on, of those folk are given to these puny bursts of made into the sure, sign of deep seated disagreement, and you and your husband, who live like turtle doves in the main, with Just an occasional, very occasional, crashing in the bushes, and a presented to society as decorated war pony scrambled inharmonious and 1- in a hasty good ; y you know, made mostly through them, his rider in surly surprise, while at the same moment from the thicket beyond, three other half naked mounted fig- appeared and lined up in the path which led to safety. The child's heart stopped beating. His frontier training told him that all that had gone before, even the tragedy which had darkened the afternoon, was as nothing compared with this new and awful danger. In a paroxysm of terror he tried to stop with all his small strength to turn him aside toward the main., to chock plunge into the very anus of the enemy. But for the first time the horse paid attention neither to the beloved voice nor to the tiny hands pulling so desperately upon the reins. Whether it was the sight of an old and hated foe. or whether the wise. Kind heart of the animal realized the full extent of a peril of which the child was as yet only half aware, it would lie hard to say. But little Dan found himself going faster than he had thought and the tawny, sun- burned plain, and the pitiless, sky. and the nearer, greener foliage of the willows even the outlines of the dreaded savages themselves became as so many parts of u great rushing, whirling whole, and all his strength was absorbed in the effort to retain his seat upon the bounding horse. And so, like some vision from their own weird legends, straight down upon the astonished Indians swept the great bronze beast with Its golden haired burden. Down upon them and through them and away till by the time they had re- covered from their amazement there was a good yards between them and their flying prey. And that distance, hard as they might ride, was not easily to be overcome After that first wild lush the Ma- settled into a steadier smooth, even run, so easy to sit that the lad relaxed his clutch upon the animal's mane and turned his eyes to the horizon, where gathering of savages showed like of ants against the slope of the hillside In his track, with shrill, singing cries, like hounds upon a trail, came his pursuers. And far to the south flaws was a puff of white smoke from the wails of the fort and a moment later the first heavy, echoing of the alarm gun thundered across the plains. I'M Not Start. A lazy man is seldom so very lazy as not to lie able to invent some ex- for his inactivity. Round Table tells a story in point. Patrick was the captain of a schooner that plied between New York and on the eon. One day his schooner was load- ed with bricks, ready to start for New York, but Patrick gave no sign of any intention to get under way. Instead of that be sat on deck smoking a pi. The owner of the who was also the owner of the schooner, and who had reasons for wishing the bricks landed in New York at the earliest possible moment, came hurrying on board and demanded of the captain why he did not set sail. your said Pat- rick, no wind Why. what's the mat- with you There's Lawson's schooner under sail, going down the river I've been her, but It's no use my under way. got the wind now, and, faith, hare isn't enough of it for A For Life. curiosity is directed toward Henri of My Something of an Ishmael- as he is, M. life has been a long skirmish. The follow- passage gives some idea of the risk he once more than a quarter of a he says in his preface, have been like a man on a switch- back railway, continually plunged from the highest summits into the depths. A few months after the day wHen the populace threw down the doors to liberate me and carry me in triumph to take my sent in the national de- government, I was dragged to Versailles in chains and threatened with death. For a whole hour I was paraded in the streets of the city like another and I can still bring to my mind's eye the fig- of an man, attired in a close- buttoned frock coat, who waved a rod umbrella mid started in the of tho Flay him alive this tune ways quarreling. You cannot quite understand what your sympathetic friends would lie at when they speak to you compassionately, sigh and ray, You do not know why you should be pitied, not overheard your fool when he or she reported that little scene at where you had blunder- obstinately, main that the shield was red when your husband declared it was blue. Thus the little spurt came, and the fire died down as boob as it was kin- like a match that catches but does not burn. But your fool made into a and only one of many unto it. with all your domestic concerns in detail, if you have a fool as your who dot's not understand the very alphabet of breeding in the reticence imposed on all who are admitted into the intimacy of a family. A fool of this kind is mischievous beyond all after remedy. In this mongering world of ours it needs but the slightest push to set the snowball a-rolling. when it as it goes till it is out of all pro- portion with the original nucleus.
