"You don't want to stay for the pic tures, do you?" asked Laura In the tone of one who eipecta the answer to Ibe "No." Bet blushed. She took a childish de light ta motion plcturea, but from the ichatter about her, eke gathered that It wu considered ojalldlsh to alt through the whole performance. Her ooustn ;Laura seemed to regard the taate for Vaudeville Itself rather Indicative of elemeatary development. "Do you mind?" Beth aaked timidly "There's fire department pictures." With a shrug of her shoulder, her cousin settled back In the seat as the lights went out and the first picture was thrown on the screen. The prop erty man and his follows on the stage supplied tho clanging of the bells and the screech of tho whistles and to Beth It was all very real. Then the street with Its cnglnoa vanished from the screen to bo roplaced by a con trasting plcturo of three Dromon sit ting In quarters cngngod in a game of cards. Their faces were largo onougli to show the play of expression and tho oudlenco shrieked at tho pantomimic humor. But Beth had leaned forward and was looking eagerly at tho screen. Laura tugged at hor skirt but the girl did not roallzo It. There upon the screen was Thad Burnham. She was sure of it. Tho plcturo changed again and she Bank back Into her seat quiv ering In every muscle. Rapidly she explained to Laura how Thad had gone away from home, how his letters had stopped nnd his mother could find no trace of him. "His mother'B heart Is breaking for him," sho declared. "I must find him and tell him to write home." She left her seat and with trembling limbs started up the aisle, Laura fol lowing her country cousin curiously. An usher directed her to the balcony where the machine was operated, and she waited until the operator had fin ished. He could give her little Information other than to furnish her with the) ad dress of the firm which had takes the pictures. She could scarcely watt un til the next morning to continue her aearch, and she started immediately after breakfast with a male cousin as an escort The manager was courteous and seemed to take an Interest in her quest. The pictures had been made in town, he explained, and he gave her the number and address of the engine company. It was far uptown but ahe could not rest and In a short time she stood in front of the tiny desk beside, the glittering enginer "Is Mr. Burnham a fireman here?" Bhe asked with trembling voice. "Tommy Burnham Is with seven truck," ho explained. "I am looking for Thadwlck Burn-, ham," she explained. "He was photo graphed here for some motion pic tures." "Wlckes, Roo and Casey posed for, that plcturo," he declared. "You mean this?" Ho took down from the wall a Bmall framed photograph, evidently an en largement of the picture film. "That's Thad," she cried. "I'm sure of it." "Call Roe down," commanded a voice behind her. The fireman sprang to salute and Beth turned to face a kindly faced man with gold instead of sliver buttons and crossed trumpets on tils cap front "Stand where you will be In the light," directed the newcomer, as he stepped into the background. Wonder ingly she obeyed his directions aa in answer to the call a man came sliding down the brass pole. Before she could speak he had turned around and came toward her. "Hello, Beth," he cried. "Where did you come from?" "What Is your name?" demanded the battalion chlof. Instinctively the man's hand wont to salute, and he gave a puzzled laugh. "It's Burnham," he said, "yot I know I'm called Roe. What's the mat tor?" "You remember the Jane street Are in the shop where you worked?" sug gested tho chief. Thad nodded. "But you forget that In Jumping to the net you fell short and struck on your head. When you came out of the hos pital, you bad forgotten whom you were." "I remember now," Thad exclaimed. "The boys were Interested in me and kept me going until I could get In the department. You gave me Richard Roe for a name,, eh?" "I saw you Ih the picture at the theater," Beth explained. "I knew It was you." "Which is more than I did," he laughed. "I've been some one else for neatly a year now. Is mother " Beth nodded as his voice faltered. "She Is alive," she assured, "but very lonesome. She thinks your are dead." The chief stepped forward. "I'm go ing up to Bee the foreman," he Bald huskily. "Put In your application for loavo and I'll see that headquarters grants it." He Btamped up the stairs, and Thad turned to Beth. "And you?" he asked. "Have you " "I've been waiting, too," sho assured as her hand stole into his. "We can have,, a pretty good honey moon in 30 days," smiled Thad. "We'll send the picture men some of the cake." "We must," she agreed, as he kissed her right before the man on watch, "I found you In the picture." i HENRY JAMES ASKS A DRINK i Hew the Neted Novelist Might Havi Given Expression to Desire to Quenoh Thirst j I would like like with a degree of longing so entirely out of all propor tion to the lenath of time, einrnnwd ,tn hours, by the clock, since I last refreshed myself, or at least my pal ,ate, with at least temporarily satisfy lag viands which you. here In this 'place, by grace of the klag's favor, are permitted te dispense and die- peasiag, grow fat upon the Just and unchallenged profits of your ancient and honorable occupation that I may lay myself open to We llghttongued and unjust charge ef Inebriety that Is habitual inebriety, which knows not i the true values of time and place, and Inappropriate circumstance (and ! which brainless accusation I can, I assure you, disprove); like, rather, 'with the natural thirst unaided by the strong persuasion of long-harbor d habits of physical exorcise In the open air, on this sun-kissed morning (albeit a trifle overburdened In the matter of temperature), a glass nnd not necessarily a glnsB commensurato with my physical bulk (for which I am not wholly responsible, although I do not wish to bo misunderstood In the mattor of fillnl devotion), but a glaBs which Is neither too Inrgo nor too small economically to satisfy tho modest clamor of a palate parched with tho unavoidable hent nnd dust of a summer-besieged roadHlde no rain having fallen for soveral stifling days In succession, as near as I can remem ber (and I do not pretend to keep unerring account of theso trifling things nor offer any excuses for my fulluro to do so) . . .a small glass of sherry. Now York Mail. WEBSTER AND THE MAGICIAN Secretary of State's Clever Retort to the Joking Remark ef Slgnor Blitz. i During the presidency of Mr. Tyler I had occasion to call on Daniel Web ster, then secretary of state. Glancing at my card, he turned and readily extended hla hand with, "Welcome, slgnor! No hocus tvuma among my papers," covering then wun ma arms. After exnlalnln in him m kiui I reecived the required information. We laughed and chatted a few min utes, and I was about to ratlr whn I mentioned that I was an applicant ior omce ana hoped I could rely upon his Influence In the matter. "You, a magician, an office seeker, signor7" "There is only one. sir. I aanlr t all others I should refuse without re gard to their emoluments." "Well, what one is that?" ques tioned tho great statesman, in hla aeep ana powerful voice. "Counting the treasury notes, Mr. wenster." "The treasury notes. Slrnor?" "Yes, sir. You might give me 100.- uuu to count and watch me closely, but you would find only 75,000 when I returned them." "Slgnor," he exclaimed, with lively animation, "there Is no chance for you; there aro better magicians hero than you. For there would not be 75,000 left after their counting!" "Life and Adventures of Slgnor Blltx. He Who Laughs. 1 It is a very dangerous thing for literary man to indulge his love for the ridiculous. People laugh with him Just aa long as he amusea them; but if he attempts te be serious, they must 'till have their laugh, and so they laugh at him. There is in addi tion, however, a deeper reason for .this than would at first appear. Do you know that you feel a little supe .rior to every man who makes you laugh, whether by making faces or i verses? Are you aware that you have a pleasant sense of patronising him when you condescend so far as to let him turn somersaults, literal or liter ary, for your royal delight? Now, If a man can only be allowed to stand on a dais, or raised platform, and look down on his neighbor, who Is exert ing his talent for him, oh, it Is all right first-rate performance! and all the rest of tho fine nhrnses. nut ,lf all at once the performer askn tho gentleman to come upon the floor, and, stepping uoon the nlatform. h. ,glns to talk down at him, ah, that tthbu i iii wio program : iioimes. . He Will Never Know. 1 "Johnny." said the teachnr ta a tw .eight years old who had been look ling Intently at a picture In the school reader for several minutes, "what is it 'that Interests you so?" "A picture, ma'am," was the reply. "Let me see. Ah, yes a picture of a young man from the city about to milk a cow out in the country." i "But it won't move, ma'am." 1 "No. It Is not a moving picture." ' "Then, how'm I ever going to know that be sat down and began milking, and the cow hauled off and knocked him 15 feet with one foot and the bot tom of the milk pail out with the other?" 1 Hew She Hurt Her Finger. "What's de mattah, Miss Clara?" asked Rosa, the Browns' colored .laun dress, seeing Miss Clara nursing her finger with a pained look on her faco. "I bruised my finger with the hammer the other day and It hurts still," was the reply. "I has dat, too!" exclaimed Rosa, eagerly, "feels like a tlnglln' all down de palm of my ban', but mine Jes' comes from slappin' de chullua on da tmM -1 White Swan Vj Mallrnaa Which Do You Choose m n m 1 Complete Com fort Guaranteed 30 Years an t & ttnonUtM li uiflffit.M n nr.v tirirrt I'llllll'ivt fr inaii' him -!.i.v tfflv I lie "www owan is jioMiivciy ujc mpprM in an if si innai w W oMroii;ly.
