er Birthday
it resent By JANE LUDLUM LEE. Copyrighted, 1907, by Horner Sprague, Robertson, the jail breaker, handcuff ting and magician, was In town. Billposters were everywhere announcing his arrival at Feck's Vaudeville theater, telling of the wonderful feats he would perform. Standing before one of these posters was a pale faced, tired girl on her way home from the office. It was incredible to think that a man could do the things advertised to see a man break out of jail, to unlock the dreaded handcuffs before your very eyes! Oh, no; it was too wonderful to believe! She had often watched a crowd of urchins following a man who had been arrested and once had seen him taken to the lockup, but that a man could get out of his own free will this seemed incredible. She gave a final look at the picture of the man on the poster, tucked her novel tightly under her arm and moved slowly toward home. It was her "I WANT TO GO HOME. PLEASE TAKE ME." birthday, and her mother had given her a dollar to buy herself a present. She still had the dollar, and the thought occurred to her that she could take a girl friend to the vaudeville tonight and see this wonderful man. Then she recalled that her mother objected to girls going to the theater alone. After eating her dinner she decided that she was too tired. She would stay at home. The ringing of the doorbell after dinner aroused her from her lethargy. She went to the door and opened it. "Hello, Janet!" "Why, Billy, won't you come In, or shall we sit on the stoop? It's pretty warm inside." "I came around to see if you would go with me to Peck's Vaudeville tonight The handcuff king Is there, yon know, and today Is your birthday." "Oh, Billy, will you really take me? I've been longing to go ever since I read about him. You sit here on tho stoop, and I'll be ready In a jiffy." Billy sat down to wait, and Janet was soon in the midst of her toilet. She donned her best brown frock and flower trimmed hat because she noticed that Billy had put on his best gray suit and had his cane with him. They found the theater packed and were fortunate in securing two balcony seats. The noisy songs and tiresome dialogues which came before the handcuff king's appearance on the bill seemed Interminable. No. 7 finally appearedhis number. lie came out not the strong, big man she had pictured, but a lithe, muscular foreigner, and they chained him hand and foot, locked and relocked the leg irons and handcuffs on and left him there if) get out as best he could. Janet hung over the balcony rail, and Billy's eyes feasted on the bright and happy face beside him. The little fellow on the stage began his act. Slowly twisting, turning and writhing, seemingly in great pain, for several moments he made no headway. "Billy, he is being hurt! Why don't some one help him?" Janet implored. "Of course it hurts him, but no one can help him. He must get out alone." "Yes, but that's cruel. Just see the veins in his arms! Oh, Billy, I can't stand it to see a poor man suffer so! Look, Billy! His face is getting redder and redder every minute!" she cried as she hid her face In her hands. There was a deathlike silence In the house. You could hear a pin drop in the awful stillness In which the man held the audience. Janet peeked out between her fingers, but dared not really look. Billy leaned a little closer and gave her arm a reassuring pat. It encouraged her to speak. Leaning close to him. she whispered: "Billy, I'm ashamed to tell you, but I want to go home. Please take me. I'm so frightened." "Why, of course, little girl, but I thought you wanted to see him get loose." "II didn't know It would hurt him," she whispered. Out in the street, with a tight hold on his arm, her fear left her. and when Billy suggested Green's for a plate of Ice cream she readily a;reed. Awy from the atmosphere of the theaUr

Suddenly Janet stopped eating, her eyes stared straight ahead, and Jik j stinctively Billy turned to see who j had attracted her attention. It was the handcuff king, not a king after all; I just a mortal man thirsting for a dish j of ice cream. j "Oh, Billy. I'm sq glad he got out. I 1 never could have slept with the picture of that poor man in chains." "Of course he got out, you silly child, lie always does. Janet, you women are a funny lot. You never know what you want I came home this afternoon and passed you as you were standing there gazing at the billboard. I thought you wanted to see this man do these wonderful things, and that is why I took you. Guess you don't like my present to you do you?" "Isn't it so, Billy? All my life I have been planning to do things, and when the time comes to do them my ambition is gone. I long for something differentperhaps something I ought not to have. Then when I get it I don't want it It's just as if I reached out j and touched a passing bubble, and, at 1 my touch, it burst Yet there is always that longing in my heart for an unknown something, and it lurks there still." "Janet, little girl, my present to you was not much of a success. I wanted to make you happy, and I only succeeded in frightening you. Suppose we turn the tables and you give me a present?" "Why, I never heard of a girl giving a present to some one else on her own birthday. What under the sun do you mean ?" "I mean this, dear. I want a present that only you can give me. It's a big, precious present You say you don't know what you long for, but I know what I am reaching for, and that something is you, Janet Will you give yoursoJf to me, a present to keep always and to love forever?" "Billy, that waitress heard every word you said. It's not fair to propose to a girl in an ice cream parlor. I wouldn't dare say No if I wanted to." "Do you want to say 'No,' Janet?" almost whispered Billy. "Well, to be perfectly honest, I don't think I do. Billy, maybe, after all, it's you I'm longing for, maybe it's you I've been reaching out for all the time. I guess It must be, Billy, dear, because I have been happier in these past few minutes than I've ever been in all my life before. If you'll take me, Billy, I'm yours." Deer Shooting Extraordinary. "The most extraordinary deer shooting I recall," said a hunter, "wa3 up in Aroostook county, Ie., one winter. I was new to the business then. The guide posted me beilnd a cold rock, a very cold rock, near a runway, with instructions to shoot the deer that came my way. He was to take his post j downstream a bit and if I heard sevI eral quick shots I was to leave my lair and come to his.

There was a careful old man a clerk he was who played the flute. The old man entered a music Bhop one day, opened a large book of music and laid it on a 6helf before him in an out of the way corner. Then he took his flute out of his coat tall pocket screwed it together and began to play softly the first tune in the book. When he finished the first tune he turned the page and played the second. Then he played the third. At the end of half an hour he was still playing on. The shopman then approached and said civilly: "Do you think the book will suit you, sir?" "I don't know," said the old man. "I have only played half the tunes." And he resumed his subdued tooting. Pearson's Weekly. Backed Doth Ways.
