FOUR BITES OF A CHERRY.

Br George Folsom.

How a Genitas Collected S&0OO At the Bate of a Clip —and Kept It.

Copyright, The Frank A. Munsey Co. ’—— O ‘ ;• • “You look like a sick Spaniard;’ cried. Creel. |I ean’t risk a dialect this time,” said Linden. “I must be a sick American or nothing. What’s the time?” “Twelve o’clock,” replied Creel. Wait a few minutes more. He might hold the under-olerk if. a customer cariwr iifa." • ■ . “And there may be one tfilre even now. Anyway,'l will wait ,h bit. I wish I could see what the fellowrf in the hall are about. I have a slim chance of getting out of here unseen.” “I am going to put up that sign for the painter,” said Creel, “and I will call out something to start you off.” Creel went out, leaving the door open. As he looked down the corridor he thought he saw a man dodge into another corridor just beyond the elevators. Creel tacked up the notice and kept his face partly turned down the hall.

“Mr. Linden certainly ought to be down by this time,” Creel called loudly, “but you may find him in Mr. Cossett’s office down the long corridor.” “One man, near the elevator,” he whispered to Linden as the latter came toward the door, “keep your face away from him and turn the corner carelessly. The man near Cossett’s, if there is one, won’t know you came from) here, anyway. \ My man may rush up, but I don’t think he will if I stay out here till you reach the door. Off with you how. I’ll have this door on the latch, and be near it.” Linden walked slowly up the hall until he reached Cossett’s door. No one was watching him on that corridor evidently. He walked in and asked for Mr. Sneed was alone in the outer office. The underclerk had evidently gone for his lunch. Sneed went into the private office and, in a moment, came back. Linden took the chair offered him and waited. In a mement Mr. Cossett opened the door and glanced at his visitor.

“Mr. Sneed,” he then said, “take this check to the Chemical and have it certified, if you please. , Come right in,” he said to his visitor, leading the way to the private office. As Linden sat down facing the well known safe he heard the door close after Sneed. “Now, young man,” paid Mr. Cossett, sternly, “you have, been here before. You have been to my house. Don’t rtln,” he said as Linden sprang to his feet, “I have a pistol here. You can’t see it, but it is ready for use. • ~ “You are after ten thousand dollars, I believe. I have that exact amount in this package—-waiting for you. There it is,” holding it up, “and now, my dear sir, take it and go, and be careful how you go." If Lihden was alarmed when Cossett recognized him, he Was stupifled when the financier held out the money to him. “Take it,” cried Cossett, “and see if you ban escape with it. I doubt it, Jjut you have been fortunate so far.” “Manifestly this is a trap,” thought Linden swiftly. “Will I chance It?” The money by this time was almost in his hands. He grasped it rind made for the door. “They want to trike me with the money In my possession;' he riaid. “Marked bills, maybe. “ I will chance it.” He opened the door to the corridor and immediately made a mistake. Instead of walking down the hall, he ran. He heard a step behind him. He turned the corner swiftly, and dashing through Crdbl’s door he cried, “I think he has gone crazy, but I have the money.”

Creril locked * the door as Linden pushed a spring in the bookcase', thd whole of whfch, except the aide-cas-ings and the top, swung around on a central pivot The recedirig end swung against the partly open door of tee next room and Linden Stepped through the operihtg. The bookcase was swing back to its plaice immediately. Drimpster, who had seen the supposed thief rush down the hsll, sprang after him. Before he got to the corner he heard a door open and cloyei In an instant he was 'st Creel’s door, beckoning to his assistant, McGill. “Which 7” he whispqred, when the man had come up. ; “That's the right door.” whispered Mc s!P' * wlth-blpck coat and a green shade ?ye.” Oo a Rttlg but watch that HEtag** *”"***”*

glass. He knocked at the door. It was opened by, Creek, / “A*®. y°u the painter?" said Crees calmljr. “I left a note for you, tacked on the door.” "Tufl l nervy little chap,” said pthe detective to hintaqlL Then aloud, “No, sir, I am not the painter. I am tanking for a than who Jrist ran hi here,” peering about the office as he Ipbke. All he eould see beside the. furniture was a gray coat hanging on the nick with a hat beside it.

Speaks Well of Operator.

A Jackson man was “if-yQU-pleased” and “yes-sired” so politely by a telephone operator Thursday that he called up the manager arid said a good word for the girl. , It was so unusual, he said. .“Unusual?” responded the manager. “Certainly the operator’s politeness is no more unusual Chan your own. T have been in this business for a good many years, and you are one of the few men who ever took the trouble to say a good word for an operator.” It is no temper-soothing job—that which the telephone girl»holds. She has to serve at once a great corporation and an exacting public. She is held responsible not only for her own mistakes, but for the countless mistakes made by otheir people. You roughly jar your telephone, and your nerves, if does not answer instantly; you think she Is teasing you, when she tells you the line you want is “busy”; you are furiqus over her stupidity, when you get the wrong party, and you never stop to think. She is a sadly misjudged girl. Her work is difficult and her errors marvelously few. She has no time for unnecessary words, though she is as polite as the public will permit her to be. v She knows that you never think of her service except when It goes wrong and never speak of her except to “knock". Yet she patiently does the best she can for you. Don’t imagine that you are distinguishing yourself by complaining against her. Thousands have been ahead of you. But say a word in her favor at the right place, and you stand almost alone with an approving conscience.,—Jackson Citizen Press.

After the Burglar

R was night. Deep, dark sight, Wa over Rernr. Inelridtag Ahe fcoara Ramsey discovered It as soon as he got home, but he went to bed just the same, and, enjoying the possession of a clear wntotferie*. Ifc weft t* however, notwithstanding f* qtaarf PL’vs&e vjusssz unusual doing In the house. Captlpsrty and with stealth ha Sros# and, securing his trusty automs shapely form, he sallied forth from] the bedroom Into the darkness, now freighted with lurking, mysterious danger, into the rootos beyond. Ffrst, he awakened his son In low, tqhse tones, bade him arise without noise, and arm himself, bceaagjr there whs an anarchist In the basement preparing to blow the house up, or something like that, and, anyway, it watf necessary to get a move, on.

Mr. Ramsey, Jr., climbed promptly out of bed, and arming himself with a miner’s candlestick of the latest and most deadly pattern, follbwed his war-like father forth to the fray. There was a roomer upstairs, and he,' too, was served with a notice to come forth and do battte in defense of the house of Ramsey, and .'hastily drawing hta trousers from the place between the mattresses, where he kept them to keep the creaseß from going away while he slept, he was soon a member of the now fully assembled army. “Hist!” came from Ramsey, In low, vibrating tones whch made the hair on the 1 back of the roomer’s neck turn Its ends upward and his toes curl in eagerness- to be moving (away from the scene of the threatened carnage), and In his heart he considered the question whether or not it would not be best to desert, then and there, arid so avoid taking the life of the man lurking somewhere, in the gloom, all unknowing, waiting for an awful death. The son of Ramsey and the roomer'followed the lead of the grizzled veteran, guided by the soft, almost inaudible froufrou of his silk kimono. From I'oom to room the sleuths moved as silently as the shadows they would have cast If there had been any light, and poked around the corner of every door-jamb In advance of the party was the trusty automatic and the deadly candlestick, and’ever and anon came the threatening chatter of the teeth of the roomer, who longed for the fray and gory glory which, was sure to follow the onset. There was nothing doing in the anarchist or dynamiter line above stairs, and then the party silently deployed on to the floor below, where R was nt kept long 1 Suddenly, arid with appalling noise from a far corner of the room erfms the sound of the enemy. ThetarwMe a spitting-thudding sound, 'followed by the crash of a heavy weight striking something with great force, followed in turn by a slighter sound from various paints of the room, and the dauntless three were just on the point Of opening fire lit an attempt to sell their lives as dearly as possible, when the roomer arid the younger Ramsey were startled arid somewhat relieved to hear the voice of the older Ramsey reverberating in clarion tones: “Oh, fudge, It’s only a cat." Silently, and with the gravity becoming thq release from the necessity of shbdrifrig human blood, the roomer, Ramsey, and Ramesy junior returned to the slumber regions above, thinking of the goodness of providence in sparing then! from the necessity of blood-shed.

The Key to the Bastile.

Ths bastile was the prison In which French kings confined political prisoners. Thousands of Innocent persons were sent to this prison to avenge personal grievances of attaches of the kings, who issued “letters de cachet*' to their ministers and officers. The cause of the street - was nowhere recorded, and • Victims thus imprisoned’t might remain confined In the. dungeons for a lifetime. In lTt# the peopK of Paris destroyed the bastile after liberating all the prisoners. The key was presented by Lafayette to Waahiogtori, and It now hah& In the main hall of the later mansion St Mount Vernon.

Man's Rough Path.

The Girl on the Cover

With a sudden, Watftpfaive clutch Cteorge B*u**«& griftbbeQ the magazine from the news stand. .Tbagf.' , staring straight Into his eye# from she cover, was a bewitening picture of Grace GkWfemzzm Wkce, whom era’ .git ri s m 1 • “I’ll take all of these magazines yqu’ve got,” Brunson cried to the rilerk behind the counter. The clerk stared, and lost no time in bundling up. * dozen or'more of thfe thrigWiri^*! ed bis eyea on kte sweetheart’s face. Coherent tboufebt returned to him presently and he sought for the arUshers of the inagazibe asking, for the artist’s address. IB the day intervening between the mailing of kls note and the receipt of a reply, Btunson did little but purchase pew copies of the magazine. We whiled away several weary hpurs in tepriqg off the magazine covers and in ning them on the Uhjtgrim. At last the letter With the address of the artist, A. B. Sloane came. Luckily, sloane lived In trie same city with Brunson and the lgUpr lo£t no time in hurrying to Sloane’s studio. Once there he sept in his card and waited impatiently until the maid returned with ft, “Miss Sloane is out,” the maid said, and looked at Brunson curiously. So A- B. Sloane is a woman, he thought to himself. Three times he tried to see Miss Sloane, but each time was met withthe information that she was out. Brrinson began to consider the matter mysterious. Why was it that he could never see Miss Sloane? Perhaps she did not thoroughly understand the situation. ■He would write to her. Accordingly he penned the following note: # “Dear Miss Sloane: “I wish to see you to learn the whereabouts of the young lady who pohed for the cover design for the present month’s issue of ‘The Public Magazine.’ This young lady was and is my sweetheart. We parted in a qqarrel; and I have never seen or heard of her until I saw her picture. The young lady in question got the idea that I was engaged to another girl. Can’t you let me know where she is so that I can set myself right? ‘‘Yours Truly, George Brunson,” Hopefully Brunson waited for a reply to this epistle, but no reply came. Again he attempted to .call upon Miss Sloane* but again was informed that sfce was out. Would anything be more mysterious and exasperating he wondered. Finally, in desperation, de decided to camp at Miss Sloane’s door until he either saw her qr passed away through sheer exhaustion. Accordingly, his pockets filled with sandwiches, he took op his post near the door one morning. All day he stayed there without results. Many people entered the bther rooms, but not one came to Miss Btaane’g studio or left. Many curious glances were cast at him, but he ; did not care. Once or twice he the door opened a short distance and someone peeked at him, but he could not* be sure. At last late at night, be was rewarded. Someone left the studio and attempted to hurry past"" him. It Vas a woman. Brunsoa A*ught her by the arm and dragged her to a light Then he saw Grace Cameron, his sweetheart. - .* . .. 1 “Why, why!” he cried. “How are you here?” ‘I—I go( your note,” faltered, “but I didn’t reply—l wanted to see if you were in earnest or not. You see I go by the name of A. B. Sloane now. I drew that cover design—of myself. I —l hoped you would see it.” For a moment Brunson looked at her uncomprehending. Then a glad light came into his eyes. “Have I explained away your quarrel?” he asked. “Do you find me enough in earnest to —to say ■Yes?”' He glanced into her face and saw his |inswer in the divine light which sprang into her eyes at his words.— Frank H. Williams.

Promises to Children.

The promise you make to a child Is just as sacred as the one you make to the most Important of grown-ape* Nothing should allow you to break it; and it should be considered really a matter of honor to keep to your word here as elsewhere. There is a story of a little boy whose parents had promised three separate times to take him out driving “the next time.” and each time had lightly repudiated the promise. As they drove away on the third occasion, the youngsters stood at the window and sobbed. “There go the two daraest Hare in the country!”, l, And It is true. A broken promise is nothing but a lie, and" tee lie is no leas an offense because it was told to a child.
