TEN DOLLARS Kathrine had put the $10 bill in the small inside pocket of her blue serge coat. She was sure of that. There was a walk of four lonely blocks between thé "L" station and her rooming house, and she was afraid of holdups ; $0 she carried just the loose change in" her purse and with a stout pin fastened the inner flap of the pocket over the bill. And then two days later she deliberately left 'the coat in the cleaner's shop, and left the bill in it. It made her heart- sick. She had been two long months saving the $10. Eight dollars a week left small margin for saving after room rent, car fare and meals had been ac- counted for, and it had vexed her to break into it to pay for cleaning the coat. She would never again sit beside Myrtle in a cafeteria. Myrtle was at the notions counter, which adjoined the hosiery, where Kathrine was stationed, and Myrtle always spilled something at lunch, Once it was her coffee; but that time she only damaged her own clothes. Mostly it was hread or cookies, which are not injurious. This time it had been tomato soup. She had turned sud- f& denly to look at Clara's new style of coiffure, and swept the bow! of red greasy compound straight at Kathrine. It splattered the entire front of her coat. Myrtle eried and offered to pay for the cleaning, but Kathtine knew Myrile's finances too well to dream of allowing' her. If Kathrine Badn't been so upset over it she wonld have remembered about the bill, But she didn't remember until she was taking off her shoes that night for bed, and then it was too late. And when she weit to work in the morn ing the cleaning shop was not apen Kathritie conldn't risk beinz late by wait ing. She reflected wrathfully that cleaning shop wasn't much of a_place to keep its doors closed till 830, she waited on customers that day in absent-minded fashion that wa reported: to a floorwalker, That night she hurried f to thesshop and almost bre manded or the tall, thi young fellow to whom giving the coat, "Did you fi in the pocket 2" "I never looked in the t, said, | courteously, "but [ will now."

Chronicle ersley, hit and seriously wounded There: upon another hot controversy arose jeuween Lord Westhury and his son #5 to which of them had shot the beater. The father ended by declar- ing that he had never even fired off his gun. Ford the veteran Lib- eral tesman, tells an amusing story gow that distinguished Lord Chancellor the, late Lord Westbury. One day a shooting party the guns were walking through a cop- pice in line Lord Westbury and his son being next to one anbther. A pheasant rose and flew hack on the line of beaters. Lord Westbury and bis son both fired at it. The bird fell. There arpse an altercat- ion hetween them as to whose bird it was Both claimed it. "Twas mine," said the son, with an oath. "You lie," replied the Chahecellor, with a stronger oath. ""Twi#s mifie alone." Presently it appeared that at the same time -that the pheasant was killed one of the beaters was His Disposition.

During a concert tour of the late Theodore Thonfas and his celebrated orchestra, one of the musicians died, and the following telegram was im- mediately dispatched to the parents of the deceased: "John Black died suddenly to-day.
