caused Harry Lee, bache- and a good deal of a cyul¢, into: the Central depot that on he never has been able to xplain except by laying it to fate. He gasi't going anywhere, didn't want to anybody in particular, and he al- 8 kept clear of passenger depots on ant of tearful old women and cry- children. On this occasion he had# caught sight of one tearful old woman when somebody caught sight him. "And who on earth told you that IT was going to Buffalo?' exclaimed a yolce at Lis elbow as he turned to go vas Miss Remington, whom he had vn fairly well for a year past and struck bim as be ell," replied ready : ice of you! My trunk was half an hour ago ahead of me must be In the baggage room. I "YES, I KNOW," SMILED THE BAGGAGE MASTER. know you will take my ticket and get dt checked for me. Brother Will said he would surely be here, but something Jas happened to detain him." "It will be something to remember all my life." A child of ten, a bachelor of forty or an old woman of ninety can check a trunk when once the feat of getting it to the dgpot has been accomplished. All you have to do Is to point it out with one hand while you show your ticket with the other and tell the bag- gage master that he must make no mis- rather threatening. At the end of the day he decided on making a personal trip to Atraighten out the tangle. He could remember the trunks and thelr respective owners. His first stop was at Syracuse. He was sure that the girl in- mourning | with a humble looking trunk had had it | checked there. Two telegrams had | passed and he had her address, In the |! course of an hour he found her. 8he hadn't quite so much mourning on now and was better looking than he had thought. She had received the plain woman's trunk with the broken handle. She was a refined, ladylike girl and in mourning for an aunt who had left her $50,000, but yet she used language tinged with acid. Next time she went traveling and had to appeal to a man for help she would make sure that he knew enough to check his own trunk, and so forth, and so forth. A woman may lose her sweetheart and say noth- ing, but let her lose her trunk while traveling and it takes years to exhaust the subject. Ar.

Here was another mixup. The bachelor drew a long. breath and started to explain, but was cut shprt after a minute. He wag asked to identify himself as an honest man; he was asked to prove that he was not a baggage thief; he was asked to con- vince the plalu looking woman, who looked plainer than ever in her own house and with her anger up, that his grandfather bad never been hung for a capital crime At the end of half an hour the plain woman soften on him a bit. She softened enough to say that perhaps after all it was his first crime and that If he hustled around and got that one handled trunk in Rochester inside of two hours she would not call in the police. Re slor Lee longed to return to New York and find rest and peace, but inex- orable fate drove Lim on to Buffalo. There he foun ss Remington.

Ever gince that date, and particularly during the last three months, the bachelor club man has found it necessary to go up the road to talk trunk business, and he finds that the most effective way to remind Miss Remington of her duty to- ward the diamond ring she wears is to suggest that he take a trip to Syracuse 'to see' the other young woman about her trunk. . Shifting the Responsibility. Sir John Macdonald, when premier of Canada, ome evening was present at a publie dinner at which he was rather impor- tant speech. In the conviviality of the occasion he forgot the more serious duty of the evening, and when at a late hour be rose his speech was by no micans so luminous as it might have been. The reporter, knowir that it would not do to print his notes as they stood, called on Sir John next day and Staten Mr, I was not much o. ever, the ore he fail | told Lim that he was not quite sure of his possession.

"Ten thousand pardons, ladies," he apologized in confusion, and with that | he gallantly pulled out the three cliecks | and made a falr divide. There was just one apiece and nothing left over. it was train time now and everybody "4n a burry, and Miss Remington's brother came rushing in, and so with it all no one made any discoveries, and 'tho three women were hurried away _ + awvith scores of other passengers. For the first time in a year, so far as he could remember, the club bachelor had made himself useful for a few minutes, and there was something like elation in his eye as he left the depot fo continue bis saunter. Twenty-four ours later he received a call from young Winchester, who had an open telegram in his hand and who bluntly Inguired: "gee bere, Lee, what have you done y sister's trunk?"

He (hen walked up and down the room and delivered a most fmpressive speech in the hearing of the amused reporter, who took down every word as it fell from his lips. Having thanked Sir John for his courtesy, he was taking his leave when he was re- called to receive this admonition: "Young man, allow me to give you this word of advice-never again attempt to peport a public speaker when you are drunk." A Canadian Gift. The massive silver beaker which was presented by the citizens of British Columbia to Lieut.-Col. English and the other officers, non-commissioned offi- cers and men of the Imperial troops at Esquimault on the occasion of their departure from Canada in May last, has just been placed in .the museum of the Royal Un'ted Serviee Institution, in Whitehall. With the beaker is an flluminated address, signed by the Mayor, reealling the fact that for up- wads of 150 years Imperial "troops had heen stationed within the borders of what' was now Canada.

Ee ER ORR RORY, Londen's Most Ancient Court. The ancient court of hustings is of Saxon origin, and the name Is derived from hus, a house, and thing, a matter of cause--that 1s, a house or hall of causes. Courts of the kind were estab- lished in all the great cities, and, as regards London, it is the supreme as well as the most ancient court and is the court of appeal from the sheriffs' court. In the earliest times it was held weekly, but it is now summoned only as occasion requires. this to say regarding the game 3 "Golf is a great game, but shiver me niblicks if I think it comes yp to tid- dledy winks. ple of farms, a river or so, two or three sand hills, a number of imple- ments resembling dentist's tools, a strange language much like Hindoo- gtanee, any old clothes and a large as- sortment of oaths."
