THINGS BEING EVENED UP. I sti ,i.-v:i oy the brooklet side; Tins :m"en was bright. I stols .-. (".ozrii kisses there, That blissful night. I u'.f a march on other mc:i; I kr.e'v ray par:.

"JUNITA." 'Well, what is if:" "Lady to sco you, sir. "Ity aj pointmentY" "No. si., hut very important-, she says." "Very .sorry. Too busy ask her to write." Frank Ilayler botinee! n'.vay from the telephone ami Huns himself into his chair, muttering maleilietions on the heads of all ladies or otherwise who would. i:isN; upon calling or worrying the life vat of a busy editor, on what they Mere pleased to term important business. That was the third time during the morning that he had boon runs up n Home utterly frivolous pretext, and he was angry. Hut his a user was intensified as the ;eIcphoue bell began to ring again, lie threw down his pen in despair and rushed to the instrument,1 shouting at I Lo top of hi voire: "What is it "Very sorry, sir; lady won't go away. Says she must sec you. She's waiting." "Let her wait." was Frank's angry rejoinder. "No." lie added almost immediately. "Show her up." He sighed to himself with a resigned fllr. and. as he walked toward his writ ins table, he could not help thinking what a ft ol ho was to allow an importunate woman to interfere with his morning's work. And his work that morning was-particularly heavy, lie was the editor of the Chatterer, a paper that had not yet taken hold of the public fam-y. He was convinced that it would do so eventually that is. if l:is funds tasted Ions cut..ts':. Meanwhile h was doing Iiis bcyt to turn out some attractive articles, and here was this woman A timid knock at the door notified Mm that "this woman'' was close i't hand. "Come in." lie said, in what he prided himself i bo his best editorial voice, although he really felt very angry. The door opened and when he looked at the intruder he muttered to himself: "Poetry era subscription list." The lady who had thus brawl the lion iu his den. as it were, was neither j-ouiis; nor pretty. She was rather tall, though stooping somewhat, and very dowdy looking. Little cork-screw curls wore hanging on each side of her face, which was almost completely hidden by a thick veil. "Pardon me for intruding In this manner." she said in a peculiarly weak, falsetto voice, "but I felt that I must call upon you in person, and I am extremely obliged to you for seeing me. I hope I do not interrupt you in your work:" "Not at all." said Frank, airily. "I have one or two thins waiting to be done, but they are of no consequence. IVou't you take a chair?" "Thank you so much." she replied, ns she sai. down very carefully on a chair with her back to the window, at some distance from Frank. "What can I do for you':" was Frank's tiueslioii. "I just called to ask if you would be bo good " and she paused as she opened her hnnd-bag and drew out a flat brown paper parcel. "I knew it." muttered Frank to himself. "Poetry:" Then, addressing his visitor in the firmest t.mo ho could command, he said: "My dear madam. I can assure you that we h'ivo no room for poetry." "Poetry, sir!" she squeaked, nnd there was a touch of indignation almost In her voice. "I would not think of offering yoa poetry." Frank thought there was just the slightest amount of emphasis on the "j-ou," and be wondered whether she was laughing at him. lie wished he could S"" her face, but owing to her position, with her back to the lisht, added' t Imr thick veil, he could not distinguish her features at all elenrlj. "No, i.ir." yho continued. "I have here three short stories, which you will find eminently suitable for your pa per, and 1 am sure that they v.i:l be appreciated by your readers." Frank w.'s so used to hear people Fpeak in similar praise of their own work that the cgotisical speech d't not at all surprise him. ns he replied: "I hope that when the storien are published other people will think as highly of your work as you do yourself." "My workl" she said, with a startled ntr. "I tin! not say that thy worn iny work. I am here on behalf of a tery dear frici.d of mine to offer these stories for your consideration." "Hut why take all that trouble. You should have posted them to us. They woidd ha vm been carefully considered." "No. I would not trust them to the post. I wanted to see you persor.illy find give them to jm in your c.vn hands," and. suiting the action to the word, she advanced toward Frank t"id offered him the parcel, lie reluctatdly took it from l.er. exclaiming: "1 am afraid 1 tnnnot promise that they will be accepted. Wo are overcrowded with short stories." "I do not want you to promise that. AH I ask is that you will read thorn." "I will rd them, certainly." "Thank you so much. This is very kind of ;-.u. Coo.1 morning." Frank toiiohed the bell and politely bowed his visitor out. She respouded with au old fashioned courtesy, and

with another smiling "ThanX you," descended the stairs. Frank sat himself nt his table and banged the brown paper parcel down viciously. He took tip his pen. but not to write. The thoughts would not be led away from the recent interview. He could not help laughing outright at the quaint old lady and her squeaky voice. Then he began to toy with the parcel. Finally he opened it; there lay the three stories neatly typewritten. lie looked for the author's name and address. All that he could see immediately under the title of each story was "I5y Juuita." No name, no address. "Well, this is the oddest experience I have ever had," he muttered to himself. Then he thought he might ns well read one of the stories. He did so. and words of surprise and delight kept rising to his lips. Then he read the second, which gave him still more pleasure. After reading the last one he exclaimed: "Ity (leorse! here's a find. Munita,' my friend, I lift my hat to you, metaphorically speaking. You are a genius. If you don't make your fortune, and at the saine time give the Chatterer a big leg up, my name isn't Frank Ilayler." And after marking a big "A" on each of the manuscripts he went out to lunch. When he returned he set to work vigorously, and whether it was the lunch or the satisfied feeling that he had accepted something that morning which would enhance the value of his Journal from a literary point of view he knew not, but he certainly surprised himself at the excellent matter that seemed to How from his pen. He wrote far into the afternoon. When he had finished ho proudly exclaimed: "There, if tlios articles don't put some life in the thing, and if 'JunitaV stories don't send up the circulation, I'm a Hutchman. Frank, old man." he continued, as he slapped himself complacently on the breast, "the Chatterer is going to boom large. I know it. I feci it. Juuita' has come in the nick of time. She has brought me luck!" II went home to his bachelor chambers in an excellent frame of mind. After a light dinner he dressed very carefully and took a cab to the Pantheon Theater, where he formed one of the large audience assembled to witness the debut in London of Miss Agnes Trendervil'.o, a new actress from the provinces, who had been spoken of very highly wherever she had appeared. Frank was an enthusiastic lirst nighter, for he had made up his mind that the Chatterer should be well to the fore in all dramatic matters. lie was delishted with the new actress. She was a revelation, and he felt that he could honestly praise her in the columns of his next issue. As he strolled into his did), on his way home from the theater, the first man he met was Jimmie Fleet, the eminent dramatic critic, who greeted him with: "Well, Frank, old man, what do you think of her':" "Think of her, my boy? She's yplondid." "So I think. Y'ou mark my words, she's the coming actress." "Coming. Jimmie! I should say that she has arrived, very much so; and, what is more, she has come to stay." He was right. The new actress was a success from the very start. Interviews, portraits, sketches concerning her appeared day after day in almost every paper, and Miss Agnes Trenderville was the most talked of lady in London, while the Pantheon theater was crowded to excess every night, a thing that had not happened for many months past. Frank Ilayler was fortunate enough to be introduced to the eminent actress a few days later at a fashionable "at home." He was surprised to lind how unassuming, unaffected and distinctly lady-like she was. What wonder that he fell in love with her at first sight? He was introduced to her as "Mr. Ilayler. the editor of the Chatterer." The new number of the paper had appeared that morning, containing an exhaustive appreciation of the new actress, one of his own articles, aud the lirst of the stories of ".lunita." "Oh, Mr. Ilayler!" was the remark, "your paper interested me very much this morning." "I am very pleased to hear you say that." he replied. "I am glad you liked my criticism on your performance." "I did not mean that. I do not take much notice of the criticisms on my aeting forgive me for saying so," as she saw a shade of disappointment pass across Frank's face, "for when4 they are all so good there is certain sameness about them that just becomes a wee bit monotonous." "Yes, I can quite believe that," was all that Frank could say. "Hut what I was really interested in was the story 'I5y .lunita.' I read it over and over again." "Iid you, really? I knew people

would like it at the time I accepted it." "Oh, I do not suppose everylnnly would be so stupid as I am," she replied. "Hut it seemed to appeal to me strongly." Then after a pause, she said: "I hope I am not prying into any editorial secret, but do tell me, Mr. Ilayler, who is MunitaV'" "My dear Miss Tremlerville, it is a secret; so much so that I have not the faintest idea who Munita' Is myself." "Mr. Ilayler, you are trifling with me!" "Fpon my honor, Miss Trendervillc, I do not know. I would tell you with pleasure if I did." "How very strange," she murmured. "Yes. it is a strange story. I will tell it to you the next time I have the pleasure of seeing you." Frank had that pleasure over and over again, and made such good use of his time that soon It was noised abroad that the editor of the Chatterer

was engaged to be married to the beautiful and accomplished actress, Miss Agnes Tremlerville. The circulation of the Chatterer liad gone up. A series of short stories "Hy .Tunili" was a big attraction. The stories had been sent in by registered post. The editor had eagerly accepted them and put them in hand at once. The only thing that worried him was that payment had never been asked for. He had no addross where he could send the check, and he was waiting patiently for "Junita," or someone on her behalf, to make application for the money. He was sitting in the editorial-room one morning when the telephone bell rang. lie went to the.instrument and was told that an old lady w ished for an interview. "Junita" flashed through his mind. He sent word dow n that she should be shown up. The old lady with the squeaky voice, which had amused Frank so much on a former occasion, entered the room slowly ami advanced toward him. Frank met her with extended hand. "My dear madam!" he exclaimed, "have you brought me some more stories':" "You liked the others':" was her question. "I liked them? I should think so. Everybody likes them." "I am so pleased. I told you, if you remember, that they would be appreciated." "And now," the old lady continued, "I have tailed to ask you for " "The check':" interrupted Frank. "You are very kind. That is what I came for." "Excuse me for a moment. I will fill it in for you," said Ilayler. - lie sat down, drew out his check book, dated the check, then turned to his visitor and said: "Pardon me, but to whom shall I make it payable?" "To Munita,' " she said. "Oh. excuse me; I can hardly do that." "Why not:" she asked. "If Munita indorses it, that will be sutlicient, will it not?" "Well. I suppose so; but it will hardly be the correct thing." lie wrote the cheek, tore it out and handed it to Iiis visitor. "You will sign the receipt, please, in your own name," as he handed her the form to till up. She wrote her name in a bold hand, and handed the paper back to him. He glanced at it, and started back in surprise: for there at the bottom, in unmistakable letters, was the name, "Agnes Trenderville." A silvery laugh greeted his ears, and when he turned his head, Agnes in reality stood before him. She had torn off her disguise, and looked like what she undoubtedly was a charming young lady. "Agnes!" was all Frank could say. "Yes. dear: Agnes. Don't be cross with me; it was only a little harmless joke, and it was successful. I can explain all in a very lew words. 1 wanted very much to see what an editor was like I did not know you then. dear. I wanted my stories accepted, for if my debut had not been successful I should then have had an opening in the literary world. I thought if I came in the character of an old lady I should have a better opportunity of being admitted. I came. You could not help laughing at my squeaky voice, but yon accepted my stories, and that's the great thing." "Agnes, you are a born actress," was all Frank could say. "I know, darling. All the paper say that." The Chatterer is one of the most successful papers of the day. The stories by ".lunita" are quite the rage, but fewthere are who know that the charming and clover actress, Miss Agnes Trenderville, known in private life as Mrs. Frank Ilayler, and Munita" are one and the same person.

Feeling? in a "Wreck. "How does it feel to be on an engine when it collides with another train?" "Well," said the old engineer, "it is not so easy to answer that question, because if you are running at a high rate f speed when the accident happens it is all over in a few seconds, and if you arc fortunately left with .1 little life and consciousness in you, you feel like one who has just awakened from a bad dream, with very distant recollections of the particulars. "I was once running east on the fast express, which was a double-header, with inj engine in the lead. We were running fifty miles an hour when we struck a coal train that had failed to clear the main track, and was pulling slowly into the middle track. We plowed right through the caboose and four -rs, ripping the sides out of them, and it was all done so quick that with my hand on the throttle I had just time to shut off the steam before I was bumped up against the front end ol the cab so forcibly that the wind was knocked completely out of me. "I remember a grinding and crushing of the timbers, the Hying of gjass, and the breaking of my ribs against the reverse lever, when I rebounded, and the mad plunging of the engines, but it was all over in five seconds, and I felt relieved to feel a little life left in me." Hewn re tlio Ieadly Fnvelopc. In one of the hospitals in New York recently a man died from blood-poisoning, acquired, it is alleged, from licking envelopes whose gum was tainted with disease. The taint had been carlied through all the processes of manufacture, and appeared in the gum on the envelope. Though this seems strange, physicians agree that it is possible, and they advise correspondents to moisten envelopes in othevs ways than by licking them. Don't talk of your friends as your "set."

A public announcement of his candidacy will soon be uuule by one of the Secretary's close friends in the Sennte. This announcement, however, will not be made until President Cleveland has formally stated his purpose not to si; nr. i aky c.i:i.i-i.k. permit his name to be used in the convention in connection with a third term.

GROVER'S NEW SUIT. It Is Made of Ijcatlicr und Is to HCsed on Hunting expeditions. On the isth day of .March, says the New York World. I rover Cleveland. President of the I'nited States, won? a new suit. It is not. however, a frivolous thing for personal adornment. It is designed for the serious, hard work attendant upon duck shooting. Just before lawn on the day on which the President entered upon his sixtieth year Mr. Cleveland, attended by Dr. O'lJeilly. of Washington, and equipped with a hammerless gun and a patent rubber decoy duck, brand new, donned his spik-and-spnn garments, entered a flat-bottomed skiff, and devoted his energies to bagging his favorite game. The birthday suit is made of leather and consists of trousers, waistcoat and coat, the last-named garment measuring KOVFK S NKW Ill'NTIXO SflT. six feet in girth. The President's gun, which he has owned for two years, hanunerless. It is a double-barreled 10 gauge affair, ami ost the moderate price of JjsNT. ,lr. Cleveland does not use smokeless itowder ami he never shots "on the flight" on laud. The rubber decoy duck is a birthday gift. It is pneumatic, and can be sent up into the air and allowed to come down and rest iijmui the water, and Mr. Cleveland has spent no little time and derived no small amount of pleasure in experimenting with it. The disadvantage of the pneumatic rubImt duck is that it can be punctured, in which ease it is ruinel. This duck in use is as natural as life. Hut when it lies upon the water, with other ducks around it. you must make a souml to svt tlieilin ks rising from the water before yon can tire. If you snap your gun at them as they tloat you will puncture your own pneumatic duck sind it will collapse. A good day's sport is from ten to twenty ducks: thirtylive :i very line.
