"My, how time does fly,' said she, "and we have been so happy, too. I can hardly realize it." It was now nearly 5 o'clock and she knew she would soon hear his familiar footsteps on the porch. The little Jefferson street house was spick and span, and as she entered the kitchen the kettles on the range were merrily bubbling. And on the kitchen table, daintily placed on a cut glass stand was white frostad cake. It had been her first attempt since she graduated from the cooking class some months before in the city. "Won't he be pleased," said she. "He just dearly loves cake." Just then then there was a clinking of a key in the door and she ran to the hallway, "Its been such a long day for roe, dear," said she, kissing him, "and I am so glad you are home , Supper is all ready and I have such a surprise fo you." . ' The dinner was soon on the table and eaten and then came the surprise. "This is my first cake, dearest, and made it Just fory ou. I know you will like It." The frosted layers, indeed, look invit ing as she placed it in front of him., He munched away in silence, and she waited In expectancy for some word of approval. "What kind of cake do you call this?' gasped the young husband, "rubbing his aching Jaw." "Why, dearest, that is pyramid cake,' responded the young woman, proudly. "Pyramid cake, eh? By Jinks, I might have, known it." "Ah, you notice its resemblance to pyramid?" "I should say I do. Its heavy enough to be made of a stone." And then her young heart was brok en, and he had a hard time trying to convince her it was the most dainty morsel he had ever put In his mouth. NOTICE.

THEN HE MEETS A LIVE ONE Hardly Trusts His Eyes When Supposed Victim Demands His Belongings. (Special to The Times.) Indiana Harbor. Ind., Dec. 11. A man, and a letter written in Swedish figured In what might have been a tragedy yesterday morning. The man was Alfred Nillson of Gary, a laborer working for-the Inland Steel company, and the other features in the neartragedy belonged to Nillson. Fortunately, the affair, while amusing, was not serious and Nillson is still working for the Inland Instead of lying in a watf ry grave. Yesterday morning August Zahrdzo of Deodar street decided to walk out on one of the piers reaching Into the lake. That his purpose in doing so was ascertained. Zahrdzo declaring that he merely wanted to try his nerve walk ing on the narrow piling. . On reaching the end of the pier he was astonished to find a water-soaked coat, and on top of this a short note, written in a foreign language. The adventurous Lithuanian immediately brought into his imagination a suicide, who, after leaving a note giving reasons for his re buttal of the world's offers, ended his life by Jumping into Lake Michigan. Hastily picking up the coat, he started towards shore, Intending to communicate his discovery to the police depart ment. While walking down the Lake Shore tracks toward Indiana Harbor he passed Nillson; who scrutinized the coat closely. A glance was sufficient to identify It as his own, and he immediately laid claim to it. Zahrdzo was astonished, and maintained that its owner must have Jumped Into the lake, at the same time bringing forth the letter. On seeing the missive Nillson broke Into a laugh and explained to the foreigner that the letter was from his mother in Sweden, and was not the last message of admonition of a suicide. Zahrdzo finally relinquished his pos session of the articles and returned home somewhat crest-fallen. Nillson says that he had gone out on the pier wearing two heavy coats to protef him from the spray. He was engagA in attaching an iron rod to one side the pier, to be used by small boats a tying rod and had about half con! pleted his work when some one hail him from shore. Nillson took off tl outer coat, now thoroughly soaked went into the company's yards f about half an hour, and it was durln' this time that Zahrdzo made his im portant (?) discovery. When seen by a Times reporter yesterday, Nillson declared that he was "very much alive" and had no thoughts of drowning, especially not at this time of the year.
