Mr. Edward Vernon had long had annni.

he scored a fair success. One Incident
threatened to takv place, however, which
would Inevitably have upset thu whole per

timely If somewhat spirited aid of Juliet.

The play had traveled smoothly tUoug to

Just as Juliet twnt over him lu the wild

She was from Boston, a sweet, simple
thing, lovely to look upon and almost good
enough to eat, but shu knew nothing of the
ways and means of life. But shu thought
she did, oh, yes, and had uu Idea in het
head that what she didn't know wesn't
worth knowing at all.
So that one day in her Detroit hoarding
housu when the weather threatened a
spring freshet she went to the laudlord und
said:
"I havu some trunks In the basement. Do
you think the water will get Into them?"
"Dunno," answei-l the landlord, who
hail his money in ice; "it's 'bout u
foot deep now outsl.. ,d rising."
"Dear, dear, how perfectly dreadful! I
have a wurdrolie in those truuks that I
value at 610,000."
"Sho now," answered the heartless man.
"Why ain't you a wearing of It?"
"Something must be done and done at
oncu. Are there windows to this subter
runean storeroom?''
"There are, mum, several."
"Then I have a plan. Go at once and
have bars put across the windows."
"Yes'm. Might I a-k what for?"
"To keep the water out." Exchange.

room.
The man with a sandy goatee seized his
pistol mid was taking careful aim when ho
felt his arm gripped violently.
Turning h beheld the agonized face of
his wife.

She whispered distressfully.

the ew flat, and Mr. Sparks felt ns every

1 he ilmynmn had dropped a trunk on
tho family elork and made It useless for all
time.
''WiMiiust gel atiothi rkeloek, my dear,"

a handsome nun for the oak mantel In thu

won't be, late at the office any more."
Mr, ,c parks hud Just paid " to one land

he, "and I can't waste my money on fancy
ones. The works are all the same, and I
don't proiKine to pay for gingerbread orna

That was on Monday. Tuesday night Mr.
Sparks slept soundly until 1 o'clock. Then
the ringing of thu tleetrlc front door Ml,

roused him, Theru was no let up In the

and tucked lu his nightgown.
"The fellow must have his foot planted

barefooted down two flights of uncnrpi t.-d
stairs, while thu U'll kept up Its tattoo Im
hind him. He was in an agony lest It
awake tho baby, a contingency that meant
no peace till morning, for the Sparks fuhy
was of a uervotts temperament. The bell
topped Its clamor Just as Mr. Sparks
reached thu front door and threw It open.
Thu wind swept In and chilled his knees,
but there was no one there. He crept an
grily back up stairs.
"Who in thu namu of decency," he de
manded of Mrs. Sparks, "would ring our
doorbell at this hour of thu night and then
run away? I Mlevo it was somu of your
fool friends."
"Our doorbell!" echoed Mrs Sparks

Thu following story Is told by Thu Broad

proof 'plastron' reculls thu anecdote con
nected with thu Duke of Wellington and a
somewhat similar Intention. The Inventor,
having obtained an Interview with the
duka at thu Horse Ononis, was requested
to put on tho armor, which was staled to
bo of some light material worn beneath the
clothing. The duke, having expressed his
approval of Its appearance, the Inventor,
highly pleased, dilated on Its perfect quali
ties warmly until thu commander In chli f
quietly asked onu of his staff to order t. e
attendance of a file of tho guards with a
few rounds of ball cartridge. Needless to
add, thu Inventor mudu a hurried exit, and
nothing more was heard of this luvulnern
bio armor." Some of our readers may
think they have read this anecdote In this
column before, but they nro In error. The
last time wo printed it the grim general
was Napoleon, and the time before that
