T had a crib In view, a small house with not much in it. But I was looking for sleep, not plunder. I went there, took out a pane of glass, entered and went upstairs to f nd a place to settle down. I stood in a dark 'hall looking into a room where a night lamp was burning. In the room a woman was in bed with a child, both asleep. The child was sleeping on the front of the bed, very near the edge. He was a boy and, 1 think, about five years old. On a narrow lower bed. close beside the other, slept another child, a girl of about three. She wis sleeping in the center of her bed on her side and had her chubby fist up against her fat cheek. It was hot summer weather, and none of them ox; pt the woman had any covers whatever. What interested me was that the boy's head was hanging over the side of his bed :tud so much of his brrty, too, that it looked to me as if he t fas about to fall. He was restless an3 1 knew he would be over very soon Somehow I wanted to see nicn fall though I kept in the dark so that he wouldn't see me if he woke up. Th next kick he mrdo sent him over.

At any r.te. ': .:n. not the least n ( v. i'J.ing. Meanwhile I heäid Hie nmtte:iii.u of distant thunder, and while 1 u ah looking at them all then came one terrific crash loud enough to wake the dead. The mother turned over, but neither of the children moved. Then followed one crash after another, and I expected that at least, the mother -would wake up and take a look at her children. But she slept on. She must have been very tied or had lost a lot of sleep or she ' couldn't have slept through, those terrible bolts. Never had I heard such thunder before. The only effect the storm had on any of them was to iucrease the restlessness of the boy. He rolled and tumbled in his sleep like a ship tossed by the waves, sometimes lying for a few minutes close against his mother's bed, then rolling over .to the outer edge of his own. I was sure he'd in time tumble out of this bed, as he had out of the other, and I was bound to see him do it. Sure enough, before I expected it he gave a liirch and landed plumb on top of his sister. Neither of them awoke. I reckon women know in their sleep what's going .on with their children, for, now that the storm was over and everything was still as the tomb, the mother sat up in bed, glanced at her children, got upland put them in their proper places. Then she went back to bed herself and was asleep in a moment. "Well," I said to myself, "if that's what a clear conscience will furnish Tm going to have a clear conscience." I went back to my room resolved never to enter any man's house again but my own, at least not for plunder. I

THE OBJECTION TO JOHN. h Was easily Removed When the Situation Was Explained. The Gaylords and Nelsons have always been neighbors and intimate friends. So when John Gaylord at twenty-four, as fine a fellow as ever was, began to see what an altogether charming girl Molly Kelson was there was naturally no opposition. Indeed, as the "affair" became serious it was evident to all, including John and Molly themselves, that the parents concerned were delighted. As yet there was no formal announcement, but every one knew that it was "understood," and evening after evening John talked to Molly on the front porch, often lingering after the otner Nelsons had retired. The surprise of the two was consequently great when one evening a ßh-uffiing step was heard in the hall, and presently Mr. Nelson appeared in slippers and dressing gown, candle in hand. Quite evidently he had gone to bed and then got up-r-f or some purpose. cWhy, father, what is the matter ? x Molly's cheeks were burning, as her father stood there hesitating and eying John closely. John, leaning against the doorpost, where he had stood for the last fifteen minutes saying good night to Molly, felt decidedly uncomfortable under Mr. Nelson's gaze. In fact, it was embarrassing all around. But John is a young man who goes straight to the point. "Is anything wrong, Mr. Nelson?" he began. "Am I to infer that you object to my being here ?" "Well, no, not exactly, John5 Mr. Nelson coughed slightly, hesitating. "It's only that mother and I would like to get a little sleep." "Father," cried Molly, quite indignant, "we couldn't have been disturbing any one! John has been talking very low" "I don't doubt that, my dear." Mr. Nelson was beginning to enjoy the situation. 'It's not that, nor have I any objection to John's talking to you. In fact, I haven't an objection in the world to John nor to his conduct, except" Mr. Nelson is open to suspicion of having prolonged the matter unnecessarily atnthis point. "except in one thing. Mrs. Nelson and I do object seriously, my dear J ohn, to the habit you seem to have formed this evening of leaning against the bell push. Our bed- j room is next to the kitchen, and this continuous bell ringing is noi j conducive to repose" j

Caught. In Philadelphia they tell a story of a man whose wife had arranged an "authors' evening" and persuaded her reluctant husband to remain at home and help her receive the fifty guests who were asked to participate in this intellectual feast. The first author was dull enough, but the second was worse. Moreover, the rooms were intolerablv warm. So, on pretense of letting in some cool air, the unfortunate host escaped to the hall, where he found a servant comfortably asleep on the settee. "Wake up!" sternly commanded tlie Philadelphian in the man's ear. "Wake up, I say! You must hav been listening at thj keyhole!" Harper's Magazine.

A An Old Story. Once when Rudyard Kipling m& a boy he ran out on the yardarni of a ship. "Mr. Kipling," yelled a sailor, your boy is on a yardarm, and if he lets go, he'll drown I"

"Ah" responded Mr. Kipling,;

with a yawn, rbut he won't let go!" i

Thfe incident also happened to John Burns, Horace Walpole, Napoleon Bonaparte, Dick Turpin Julius Caesar and the Kain McTooki. Presently it will "happen" again. London Answers.
