Graebor, thirty yoars old, under
sized and agile, Bat cross-logged in
his little tailor shop at Twenty-sixth
street and Northwestern avenue, and
titched with "industry. Ho worked
hard and was acquiring tho reputation
of being an honest and thrifty trad bo
man. But at night Joo Graeber, tho tailor,
became another man. Tho deft needlo
work was dropped and forgotten and
Instead and quite as skilfully, Joe
wielded tho "Jimmy." In the daytime
Joe's needle went In and out coaao
leBsly. Joo himself went "in and out"
an industriously at night, tho police

himself says tailoring paid about as
well, as burglar work and at neither

electrified pedestrians on the White
hall viaduct at the luncheon hour. Tho
play turned out humorously, and it Is
probably that all tho cast are living
happily ever afterward. Just the
same, the gentleman from tho country
gazed for a moment over tho brink
of eternity.
It all happened at the creat of tho
noon halt in business. At the Ala
bama street end of the viaduct tho
throng was thick and busy.
There came along, with tho graco of
a Godlva and clad almost as snugly
as one, a member of the femlnlno pop
ulation of Atlanta adorned in the ex
treme fashion of today as It applies
to the softer sex. You understand
about those tight skirts, of course.
Well, the young woman had on a
tight skirt, and then some. It was as
though she wore poured Into It abovo
and below meridian, torso and all.
This vision was ncaring Alabama

a sturdy specimen of the best yeo

from her moorings off Tarrytown.
Fine cruising and inland yachts wero
stripped of their binnacles, glasses,

Chief of Police Ctirran, of Nyack, had
had detectives working along the riv

gasollno and provisions aboard. She
had been left unguarded for a moment
In tho night when, It is charged, "Doc"

It isn't llko coming In on the 4:45'
from tho offlce, believe me."
"Naturally It Isn't," observed Aunt
Jane, drily.
"No, becnuso I'm Just ns glad to
see him," said Mrs. Merrlwid. "I've
been having conniption fits every tlmei
tho wind blew since he was on the'
rolling deep, and I'vo been wondering,
if there really is anything in that'
nonsense nbout a sailor having a
sweetheart in every port; then, I'm
anxious to know what ho brought mo
from Ind and Cnthny and tho, Coral
Islands, and I've got a lot of interest
ing things to tell him, nnd a lot still
more interesting that I don't Intend lo
toll him. And I know that he's got
plenty to loll me, so that we won't
run out of topics of conversation inj
tho two or throe weeks of regular;
honeymooning that are to follow. If.
it were four weeks, of course, it
wouldn't bo quite bo cnjoynble, and;
we might got to squabbling in six;!
but in three Weeks at the outside,
thank heaven! I Bhall bo weeping;
scalding tears ns I pack his clean,'
shirts in his sea chest."
"If you really loved him, you would)
want him with you all the time," said
Aunt Jane.
"Of course," agreed Mrs. Morrlwid.
LAST WAVE OF MY LILY
WHITE HAND FROM THE QUAY."
"We're always wanting creen apples
and absinthe cocktails, nnd things that
are not at all good for us, and if we'
didn't want nnythlng, we'd want to
want something. So there you are,
nnd looking at It by and largo and
alow and aloft, I think I'll marry ai
sailor."
"Not Cnptnln Reefcrl" exclaimed
Aunt Jane. You don't tell mo that"'
"Not by any means, dearie," replied
Mrs. Merrlwid. "Captain Reefer only
has a two weeks' run to Buffalo, and
ho could return unexpectedly by traim
nt any time. No, I really don' think
that Captain Reefer would do at all."

Little Glrlu In Persia.
Tho birth of a girl in Persia is re
ceived with pity, even by hor mother.
"Why should I not weep over my lltv
tlo girl, who will huvo lo endure the
Biiine miseries ns I havo known?"
sho crleB. "Sho Ib of so little value!
Who knows whether her father will
net one day throw her out of the win
dow and bo "sUonco forever hor wall
lng? And why should ho be annoyed'.'
Ho knows ho may do such a thini!
with impunity. No ono cures any
more tluui If it waa a cat which had
to suffer for his wrath." From tho
hour of birth the social Inequality be
tween tho scxc3 asserts itsolf. Infant
mortality 13 very high owing to tho'
Ignornnco and- inexperience of the,
women. Sinco celibacy is considered
a disgrace, girla are often married hh
voting ns 10 or 12. In order to reduce
tho rato of Infant morinlity somo men
have suggested thnt the mother
should havo a linger cut off everj- time
she lost n child. This cruelty, how
ovor, has not beon adopted. But that
it bhould have entered Into tho minds
of any Persian men Is significant
enough.
Mind Reading.
A skeptic on tho subject of things
psychic attompted to account for cer
tain curious happenings by calling
them a matter of mind rending. lie
suid tho facts wero uppermost in tho

mind of tho other, after which they
wore dressed up and mado to nppoal
In tho light of medlumlstic communi

mind roadlng nuy less psychic, any
less phonomuunl than a message from
tho dead? As I look at It, onco admit
