Gone to Stay.

Booth Tarkington was telling stoc*| lea to a group of college graduates In a New Tork club, when one of the! party suddenly inquired: “What has become of Davis?" ! “He has gone out of town on bust-! ness for a few days, I guess,” replied another of the party. “He has gone for a long while," ob-, served Mr. Tarklngton, with a amfla.i “Davis is one of men who leave unmistakable evidence of their pur- 1 poses. Whenever Davis goes away to stay a long period he takes with him. 1 an old mouth organ, which he lores dearly to play while he occasionally nibbles at gingerbread. I have mad* an Investigation of Davis’ room, and; .have found that the mouth organ disappeared with hint. The presence or absence of that instrument is enough to tell me* what Davis’ plans are." . The party learned soon after that Davis had left for Wisconsin to reside permanently. '
