Just his artfulness Mr Boffin A
cheap way of keeping up his credit
while he was running into debt I can
sjeellirough it now
Aifd only last week mem if youll
believe me 1 brought him in a wine
bill for seventy odd pounds and he set
tled it as easy and casual as a lord
Ah -Mr Baffin Brazening it out to
the last
If anyone said the butler oracu
larly had told me an hour ago that the
guvnor wosnt as safe as the Bank of
England Id have said to that man
Youre a liar and you knows it And
now to have thcrbniliffs iu
As Mr Boliin spoke a footman popped
his head into the housekeepers room
when- the above dialogue was taking
place
Beg pardn Mr Coffin sir but one
of Them irents is irskimr for ver
Thank you William
the folier that Ill attend
leesure said Mr Boffin
disrnity
Very good Mr Boffin sir
And William departed with the nies
sasre
To think of- your being bordered
about and colored over by those low
chaps exclaimed the housekeeper
with sympathetic indignation
Beggiu your pardon Mrs Asprey
but Im not being bordered about nor
yet ectored over mem Mr Boffin
drew up his short obese person to its
full height And I sent em that mes
sage on purpose to em see it But
1 am going to see what their
is not becos they borders
-
SSESEEE
you may tell
lo him at my
with extreme
next move
me for I

such vermin but becos Im the guv
uors representative and shabby as he
hasibe flvefttome after twenty years
service I still considers myself the
trustee so to speak of his h interests
a ndhiswproperfy
With this speech delivered in his
most impressive manner Mr Boffin
quitted the housekeeper and went to
join the sheriffs officers in the large
front hall
There were two of them The one a
squa re built bow legged tmwhoJesomeiT
faced man seedily dressed and of vul
gar aspect the other a far smarter
more pleasant looking and more pre
sentable individual who might easily
liavp passed for a well-to-do clerk or
collector From the first he had taken
the lead indeed the bow legged man
iiadscarcely opened his mouth and
was evidently the boss and spokesman
or the pair
Sorry to trouble you lie said to Mr
Boffin quite civilly but liefore I go
and leave my man here in possession I
shall have to take an inventory of your
masters effects and I thought that you
might like to go round with me while I
do so
Certainly I shall wish to keep nly
heye on you young man retorted the
butler with distant frigidity

Thank you young man Its really
very kind of you to commend it most

Eh What laughed the annota

well put a cheerful face on it It cant

And in an instant he was busy jot-
ting down the contents of this apart
ment also Mr Boffin looking on with
a crushing and a stony store and the
bow legged individual whistling or
rather lnssings fTagments pf popular
Umes through his set teeth -
A hey next went- to the library -Here
was a very fine collection of well bound
books numbering- some 2000 or 3000
volumes The man withtlhe notebook
moved -slowly round inspecting the
shelves
Ha he said as he scribbled away
rapidly- I see your guvnor s a bibli
ophile He has some splendid old books
here I know collectors who would
give their weight in gold for one or two
of these
Ill tell my master what you say ob-
served Mr Boffin haughtily I am
sure he will be gratified by your recom
Uendafionsyoung man
Ah well in spite of your sarcasms-
said the other not in the least put out
or abashed I do happen to know a
good deal about articles of virtu and
there are many good M tuiges 4vtyp set
store by my opinion I can tell you
Ho indeed young man was Mr
Boffins comment -
nd now said lie of the notebook
as soon as the inventory of thejibrary
a rather lengthy proceeding was com
plete We had better finisiroff the
rest of the ground floor beforegoing up
stairs Will you show tlfeiNvayIV
Very well yoimg inanrBntI oo this
same under protest and thats
did fa ck
The inventory of the kitchen pantries
and other servants offices was soon
completed That of the cellar was a
longer process Some of the wines were
of line brand and of great age and
value- and the aunotator was careful to
jot these down accurately They then
went upstairs and worked oft the
by the inquisitive eyes
of Hannah the head housemaid to
wliom the character of the visitors had
not been communicated and who was
very curious to learn what was in the
wind Xor should this Have been dif
ficulty roiv although the aunotator him
self was of no distinctive cut the air
appearance and manner of his under
ling simply gave him away A more
typical baliiff never trod in shoe leather
When the inventory was at length fin
ished if was nearly 9 oclock The
young man shut up his notebook with
a snap and thrust it into his breast
pocket He then said to Mr Boffin
civilly and indeed throughout he had
evidently tried to discharge his unpleas
ant duty with as little offense as possi
ble
-I must be off now Of course 1 shall
have to leave my man here in posses
sion yery sorry But it is what I am
forced to do Just a word in private
drawing Mr Boffin aside Make him
comfortable and treat him decently and
youll iind him a most civil and obliging
fellow
If he is any think else he wont find
it go down with me replied Mr Boffin
with dignity rM
f
Xo perhaps not But its always
wise policy to be on good terms with a
man in I can assure you Our friend
is used to genteel company That is
why I have brought him here Good
night
Good night young man said Mr
Boffin rather mollified by his
ingspeech
Xow thenmy good feller he re
marked turning to the bow legged
bailiff-after-duly shutting and locking
the otrtsidp door I should say as the
servants all with the bunder servants
is about your fit eli
Anywhere for me guvnor Im no
ways pertikler answered the man
with a befitting humility which still
further mollified the butler
Theyll be having their supper now
continued Mr Boffin You had better
join them at once
Thank ee guvnor I could do a bit
of vittles answered the bailiff This
inventory business makes a bloke peck
ish
I cant say that it has had that effect
on me was Mr Boffins answer I
feel as if I should never enjoy my food
again
Ah you aint used to this sort of
thing guvnor and so it upsets yer
said the bailiff with a sympathetic
shake qf his head
Xo my man Iam not used to it
answered Mr Boffin And the dis
grace of it has nearly settled me

Disgrace ejaculated bowlegs
Well now that is a funny way to look
at it Lord Jove yer I was in at a
hearls only last week and at a dooks
back in the summer They didnt think
it no disgrace And why should they
J t s downright fashionable it is really
Which in that case heaven preserve
me from wot is downright fashiona
ble rejoined Mr Boffin fervently
But ere is the servants all my man
Ill take you in and interdooce you
Thankee guvnor
Mr Boffin opened the door and usher
ed the bailiff in
Heres a guest he explained as
is going to join j ou unexpected at
supper and I leave it to you to see that
hes looked after and has his food prop
er and comfortable
With that and with a gracious wave
of his hand to signify that they might
again be seated for all the servants
had arisen at the entrance of that great
Mr Boffin he withdrew to take his
own supper in the housekeepers room
with Mrs Asprey The bailiff bowed
very politely to the assembled menials
and seated himself in a chair which
Martha the scullery maid placed for
him The company eyed him curiously
but coldly forlthe nature of his calling
and the reason of his presence were now
pretty clear to them all But he was so
civil and pleasant spoken and behaved
so deferentially to Mrs Holly the cook
and to Miss Hannah the head house
maid and so affable to the Misses
Sarah Jane Eliza and Martha subor
dinate domestics and so respectful to
Mr William the footman and so pa
ternal to Walter the buttons that they
were all on good terms with him almost
before they knew where they -were
His conversation too was spicy
without being improper and amusing
without being vulgar Nor did he ob
trude his remarks unduly As Mrs
Holly whispered behind her hand to
Hannah The man knowed his place
and kept there Mrs Holly and Miss
Hannah were pleased to smile at his
funny anecdotes Mr William to snig
ger languidly as for the four under
maids and the buttons theyJ giggled
without reserve The servants Ball
waxed altogether quite jovial It was
ouvious mat our Dow ieggea nainrr in
his social capacity had scored a dis
tinct success
Supper concluded he addressed him
self to Mrs Holly with an insinuating
and a deferential air at the same time
producing from one of his capacious
pockets a large flat case bottle
You would be doing me a great
honor mem he said ef you would
allow me and hoping you dont think
it a liberty to brew the company a
leetle bowl of something hot
Beally sir replied cook regard
ing the ease bottle with a shocked yet
rather inquisitive expression that is
a kewrioue request of yours upon mj
word
The fack is mem 1 cant get on
without my glass o sperrits And I
orlways carries it about with me But
it seems selfish like to drink it orl bv
myself especially when youve made me
so comfortable with my vittles and if
you and the rest of the company would
be so kind as to join me in a brew of
punch you would obleege me extremely
mem
Mrs Holly hesitated and looked at
Hannah Hannah hesitated and look
ed at Mrs Holly The Misses Sarah
Jane Eliza Martha looked at each
other and tittered Mr William looked
at the ceiling Master Walter at the
wall ppposite The truth was this
Only beer limited in amount and re
stricted in strength was allowed to
the servants hall And the prospect
of a glass of something hot was attrac
tive But here as at other polite
boards apparent eagerness for food or
drink was out of the question And so
from sheer good breeding everyone
hung back
Come now mem pressed the bailiff
insinuatingly
Well sir said Mrs Holly at last
I wont say you mustnt but I could
nt touch a drop
Hannah couldnt touch a drop either
Xor could Sarah Jane Eliza or Martha
William however was understood to
say that he didnt mind if he did While
Walter gathering courage from Will
iams example expressed an opinion
in favor of nightcaps and volunteered
to fetch the kettle
So the kettle was fetched and a bowl
and glasses and a soup ladle Also at
the bailiffs request lemons and loaf
sugar Then he compounded a frag
rant jorum with no unpracticed hand
And right insidiously delicious did that
jorum smell But the bailiff and Will
iam and Walter were all too gallant to
drink unless the ladies gave them a
lead So not to disappoint them Mrs
Holly tasted a drop Hannah a drop
and Sarah Jane Eliza and Martha a
drop apiece And then William and
alter and the bailiff several drops
And everyone became pleasant and af
fable and jocular so that the servants
hall presented quite a rollicking scene
While this jollity was in progress Mr
Boffin walked in The mirth was in
stantly checked upon his entrance and
everyone affected to be unconscious of
the punch bowl The bailiff however
stood nip and addressing Mr Boffin
with great deference explained the cir
cumstances under which he had taken
upon himself to brew the punch and
ventured to hope that Mr Boffin would
condescend to pronounce an opinion
upon it Mr Boffin did condescend
and was kind enough to say as he set
down his glass that he had tasted
worse
But wot I come in to speak about
the butler went on is about your
sleeping accommodation to night my
man There aint no bed aired ready so
youll have to make shift downstairs
on one of the sofas in the all If wed
knowed that you was coming this
with sarcasm wed have got the best
spare room ready for you you may be
sure
Oh anything i do for me guvaor
Ill be quite satisfied to sleep on the
floor if you like
We wont ask you to do that s id
Mr Boffin condescendingly Hannah
see that this good man is provided
with a blanket and piller and snow him
the way to the front all
And having wished the tinder-servants
good night and suggested that it
was time they were going to bed lie re
tired to his own apartment Which
he had previously said to he House
keeper its the first time iu my life
Mrs Asprey mem that I shall have
laid down under the same roof with a
bumbailiff I know I shant sleep a
wink for thinking of it
But the circumstances did not after
all affect his repose For he slept just
as well or better than usual
And when he awoke at a late hour
next morning ah what an awakening
that was For first it was Hannah
then William then Sarah then Jane
who rushed to him with such items of
appalling news as made poor Mr Bof
fins gray hairs literally stand on end
He huddled on his clothes in terrible
agitation and went downstairs to see
for himself
Alas It was all too true He now
realized with a dizzy sense of horror
how he had been imposed upon how
those two knaves had so artfully schem
ed it that they liacl made an inventory
of all his masters most valuable curi
osities under his Mr Boffins very
nose and how for the fact that both
he and all the other servants had slept
so much longer than usual now had an
obvious significance the household had
been inveigled into partaking of
drugged punch
The Bomney had gone cut out of its
frame some priceless curios from the
drawing room had gone twelve rare
volumes from the library had gone ten
dozen of the choicest wine in the cellar
had gone and so had the bow legged
bailiff London Truth
How Lover Worked
1 Samuel Lovers daughter Mrs Fan
ny Sehmid writes her recollections of
The Author of OMore for
the Century Mrs Sehmid says His
industry was such that in the busiest
years of his life he did not even grant
himself time to look at the daily pa
pers or to read any new book that was
much talked of His wife always read
the papers and the new books for him
giving him in conversation a resume
of the news of the day and the con
tents of the books so that he was al
ways well informed of everything that
was going on If anything exceedingly
important was on hand in the political
world or if any part of a book was par
ticularly interesting or well written
these she would read to him while he
was painting
Many artists are as dumb as fishes ax
their easels but he could converse
charmingly while he was painting
which was a particularly pleasant qual
ity for his sitters In painting or in
writing he worked indefatigably and
seemed to be independent of the
moods to wbich many artists appear
to be victims As to his songs he used
to say himself that he never wrote a
song in his life except when he couldnt
help it The songs used to come to him
generally words and melody simulta
neously so that he had only to write
them down Frequently the idea of a
song would come when he was occu
pied with something quite different as
for instance while painting He would
then leave his easel write down the
idea and return to his work After
ward he would return to the idea and
work it out
Sew Yorks Composite Personality
Mrs Schuyler Van Rensselaer con
tributes to the Century a paper enti
tled Places in Xew York in which
she gives a picture of interesting
phases of life in the Xew World me
tropolis Mrs Van Rensselaer says
More than 70 per cent of those who
people Xew York to day were born of
foreign mothers more than 40 per
cent were born on foreign soil them
selves and many of these aliens
brought from many different lands
continue here to live in clusters with
their own kin after their own kind
Yet while each of these clusters and
each of their wandering offshoots
modifies the Xew World metropolis all
of them together do not destroy its
cohesion they simply intensify its cu
rious composite sort of personality
They make it multifariously diverse
but they leave it an entity They
touch every portion of it with pungent
exotic flavors but as flavoring an
American whole They play their sev
eral parts in a civic life that is cosmo
ramic beyond the belief of those who
have not studied it well but they do
not turn Xew York into a cosmopoli
tan town for this means a town which
overwhelmed by its strangers has lost
or has never possessed a character of
its own

A VISIT TO SCOTLAND
Laurence Huttons Recollections
oi
His First Trip to That Country
Laurence Huttons recollections of his
boyhood are appearing in St Nicholas
under the title of A Boy I Knew He
says His earliest visit to Scotland was
made when he was but four or five
years of age and long before he had
assumed the dignity of trousers or had
been sent to school His father had
gone to the old home at St Andrews
hurriedly upon the receipt of the news
of the serious illness of The Boys
grandmother who died before they
reached her Naturally The Boy has
little recollection of that sad mouth of
December spent in his grandmothers
house except that it was sad The
weather was cold and wet the house
even under ordinary circumstances
could not have been a very cheerful
one for a youngster who had no com
panions of his own age It looked out
upon the German Ocean whicli at that
time of the year was always iu a rage
or in the sulks and the house was
called Teep o Day because it receiv
ed the very first rays of the sun as he
rose upon the British Isles
The Boys chief amusement was the
feeding of flour scones and oat
cakes to an old goat that lived in the
neighborhood and the daily walks with
his grandfather who seemed to find
some comfort and entertainment in his
grandsons childish prattle lie was
then almost the only grandchild and
the old man was very proud of his man
ner and appearance and particularly
amused at certain gigantic efforts- on
The Boys part to adapt his own short
legs to the strides of his seniors long
ones
After they had interviewed the goat
and had watched the wrecks with
which the wild shore was strewn aud
had inspected the castle in ruins and
the ruins of the cathedral The Boy
would gaze upon his grandmothers
new made grave and his own name in
full a common name in the family up
on the family tomb in the old kirkyard
all of which must have been very cheer
ing to The Boy although he could not
read it for himself And then which
was better they would stand hand in
hand for a long time in front of a candy-shop
window in which was display
ed a little regiment of lead soldiers
marching in double file toward an im
posing and unconquerable lead fortress
on the heights of barley sugar Of this
spectacle they never tired and they
used to discuss how The Boy would ar
range them if they belonged to him
with a sneaking hope on The Boys part
that some day they were to be his very
own
At the urgent request of the grand
father the American contingent re
mained in St Andrews until the end of
the year and The Boy still remembers
vividly and he will never forget the
dismal failure of Auld Lang Syne as
sung by the family with clasped hands
as the clock struck and the New Year
begun He sat up for the occasion or
rather was waked up for the occasion
and of all that family group lie has
been for a decade or more the only sur
vivor The mother of the house was but
lately dead the eldest sou and his son
were going the next day to the other
side of the world and every voice
broke before the familiar verse came
to an end
Friendly Mooking Bircl
Who would not live in Florida to
have a dooryard neighbor such as is
described in the following paragraph
from the Savannah News
A mocking bird serves as a iiight
watehman at the residence of R F
Bettes at Tampa Florida and notifies
the family of the coming of dawn ev
ery morning by pecking on the window
pane Often when the doors are left
ajar the bird comes inside and perches
on the chairs and about the room
It will allow the to come very
close and shows marked attention to
Mrs Bettys and her little daughter
When they start out for a visit it fol
lows them some distance and then re
turns to the yard When they return
it appears very glad and will fly all
tbout them and gives evidence of its
joy in other ways
The children feed it and when the
family meal is to be served if the win
dow is not raised it makes its presence
known by pecking on the window
During the clay it gets into a neighbor
ing bush or tree and sings for hours at
a rime
Chinese Divorce
In Cochin China the parties desiring
divorce break a pair of chopsticks in
the presence of witnesses and the
thing is done Two kinds of divorces
are granted in Circassia By the first
the parties can immediately marry
again by the second not for a year
In China divorces are allowed in all
cases of criminality mutual dislike
jealousy incompatibility of tempera
ment or too much loquacity on the
part of the wife Among the Tartars
if the wife is ill treated she complains
to the magistrate who attended by
the principal people accompanies her
o the house and pronounces a divorce
