IIo wont ( o hrcakfast fully prepared
and determined to tweak uboiit It
When hnlf through the meal , he coin-
promised with himself ho would Just
hint.
Yet the evening cnme. With It his
laundry and the landlady , and the
hint was not yet Riven.
Mrs. IlalRtoad was the landlady , or
"the mother of two , the relict of three , "
an the cheerful Idiot In the hallrootn
epitomized her. "He was only a coun
ter Jumper , " the landlady scornfully
remarked before she fired him.
Mrs. Ilnlvtead had watched the old
man all day. In her mind ho had been
construed and reconstrucd Into a pos
sible fourfh in the "also ran" class ,
whereby she should change her name
and later wear crape. For tlnee
months at one time she had HuttcrlngH
around the heart because of an air of
embarrassment about him when ho
looked at her. Finally he told h-r
about some mice that had Invaded his
closet. In her eyes It was evidently
only n lm ty excuse when his courage
failed him.
The "old chump , " as she called him ,
had recently assumed mourning and
remained In his room all day. Thes
two things urged Mis. llalstead to en
courage him to speak his mind , argu
Ing quite accurately that some one hud
died and he had Inherited.
So she plumped heiself In a chair aft
er laying the laundry on the bed.
Grimly she waited.
Mr. Peters was rejoiced at her lln-
Bering.
The lean old man paced the lloor ,
favoring her at every turn with a look
of Indecision.
"Mrs. llalstead , " he began hesitat
ingly he seemed to bo talking to the
rosebuds on the carpet "I have hem
wanted to speak to you about" IIo
flushed , closed his thin lips obstinately
and continued his walk li resolutely.
"Was there ever such an old fool ? '
she said to herself under cover of her
apron her face had a habit of perspir
ing under mental pressure. "About ? "
she queried In her smoothest tone. Her
Biipplemental toilet was ilnlbhed.
"Yes , about" Ills heart fotsook him.
"Well , I guess another time will do
Mrs. llalstead. " He sat down , trem
bling.
In the glare that she threw at the
back of his bald head the orange blos
soms were drooping , drooping and go-
Ing.
Ing."Now , Mr. Peters , " she coaxed ,
"hadn't you better get It off your mil d
once and for all ? I know'd you wanted
to say something" oh , the coy ways
of forty-fUe years and 180 pounds
"and and couldn't Jest get the hang of
It how to say It , I mean. "
Her worCa were very grateful to
him.
"Perhaps you are right ; only I
thought It might be considered cr
eccentric cr lmbecllic senile"
"I'd like to see any one say so , sir , "
she bristled , llko a porcupine , or as
only n landlady can. "They would not
stay In this house and say it. Be
sides , I think every every one" shy
ly "rather expects it"
"Oh , indeed ! Well , I am sure still ,
It Is very gratifying very , very , " said
the old man. "You see , the newspaper. !
say there are 800 of them to choose
from. Do you think you could get a
nice , pretty one for me ? "
She was bewildered , but not entirely
nonplused. From experience she knew
the old man had a habit of speaking
"adjacent thoughts" aloud.
"You won't mind the children ? " en
deavoring to bilng him round to the
main chance and at the same time as
certain the future status of her two
little darlings.
"Why , bless you , no , " ho exclaimed.
"I lo\e children always have er
good ones. Now that I feel financially
able to care for one , I want to Indulge
myself. It has been the dream of my
life. " The old man was talking to
himself. "I have lived a lonesorco
life. I never had a hobby , like other
men , except this. " Then ho turned to
her. "I prefer a boy , not too old tw >
or three years , I trust , would be old
enough ; also , while I think of It , I will
pay jou for any trouble he may cause
you. " Mr. Peters drew forth his wal
let. Ills face was full of a tremulous
excitement.
Mrs. llalstead mentally heard a dull
thud as the bottom fell out of her
hopes. But she did not show it when
the old man placed a bill and n news
paper clipping In her palm and dis
missed her with "Please get him to
morrow , poor llttlo chap ! I suppose
they feed them on bread and water ,
lie must be hungry. " For , if the truth
bo known , the old man had In his early
youth been an item of publVc expeiiFO
owing to tuo bibulous habits of his
male progenitor.
A forlorn hope presented Itself to
her. "Why , Mr. Peters , why don't you
get man led and" Her modesty
would not allow her to proceed.
"Hlcss my soul ! " And he scratched his
bald head dubiously , then meditatively.
Presently he gazed at her attentively
"I don't know I never thought of It. "
She Huttered with the quiet agitation
of her weight , ago and experience.
"Hem ! Well , I'll It won't make any
dllTeience. I'll try the boy first. "
It was a month later. Ho sat with
his Uuecs wide spread and his elbows
icst'iig- their bony Knobs. Ills heels
weie hooked In the rung of his chair ,
JUKI hb ! Careworn old face jested In the
pulm.s cf his upturned ImndB. In front
of him , on another chair , was the
j oungatiT , Hobble , crying.
" \Miat IH the matter with him
now ? " the old man indeed himself
wearily. The child yelled. The fos
ter father clawed hli CIUH with his
wrinkled hands and hoped , In a de
spairing fashion , that Mrs. llalstead
would come to the rescue. Then he
dreaded her look of disapproval at the
mess around the child. Toys of
every description- pictures and picture
books , his watch , fancy bottle stop
pers , about everything not nailed was
there Still the Imp cried : "Mammal
Mammal Yobble wants mamma ! "
Yell ! Yell ! Y-e-1-1 !
The little spinster dressmaker who
lived In the hall room passed the door
Just as Hobble achieved a brilliant
chef d'uMivre of jells. She skipped by
In a seined manner , hurriedly Inserted
the Key In her door and vanished.
Petei s and she had neer exchanged n
vvoul , although he had occupied his
room ten ycais and she had been In
liers a year before. lie was preju
diced against her In those early da.-s
because HU ! > inn a sewing machine
sometimes at night. The cause had
ceased to e\lst , but the prejudice still
clung to hl.n , although he ne\er pro
tested against her. She on her pint
had grown to regard him as a gruff old
ogre- past whose door she always
Imstcned.
This afternoon he actually yearned
for her or Mrs. llalstead or any wom
an to soothe the youngster. lie tnt
there wondering If she knew anything
about chtldten. lie hesitated. Hobble
began to take in air for another out-
binst. Peteis daited Into the hall and
knocked timidly at her door.
A few minutes later the child was
Bobbing on her breast , pouring out his
tale of woe In Indistinguishable sylla
bles , while the distrusted Peters
walked the floor , eying the Imp ap-
prehenslvelv. Miss Hoblnson held the
child tcndeily , absorbed In her olllce.
The foster father was enthely out of
the picture. The little woman loved
chlldion dearly.

Mr. Peters read the letter and heaved
a sigh of relief. It was from his niece
and contained an Invitation to make
his home with her. lie had nc'-"r
seen bin niece until the executor of
the estate Introduced her at a mcetHg
of the heirs.
Mrs. Halstead eame In person to
make his bed. The signs displayed t
the breakfast table had actually made
her blush and the boarders stare. Such
looks ! Such smiles !
"Mrs. llalstead , " ho began briskly.
Her poitly foim was bout with tuck
ing In the clothes. " 1 am thinking of
making a change in my life a gro.it
change. " He paused for encourage
ment.
"Yes , " sweetly.
"Now you see Robbie and this
woman next door Miss Hoblnson she
I supposed women have hem great
ways \\lth children. " Warclouds gath
ered on the widow's face. "And I"
"Not Miss Koblnson ? " exclaimed the
landlady.
"Bless me , yes ! " He looked at her
In astonishment.
"Well. I declare ! " Out of the door
she llounced , with blood In her eye.
"Now , what Is the matter with her ? "
he asked himself , rubbing ills glasses
and peering down the hall. "What
strange creatures women arc ! "
He had Intended telling her that from
the way Hobble took to the spinster It
seemed best to provide female care for
him in the person of his niece.
"Papa , " called Robbie. The old man
started. The boy had kicked the cov
ers from his cot. Mr. Peters looked
gravely down at him.
The boy grinned back , tossed his
bare fat legs and chuckled.
"You you little imp , " commented
Peters , with a smile , "do you know ? "
* * * * * * *
Ills niece went out of the room with
her nose held high In air. He shook
his flst with latent lage at her vanish
ing form. The Idea ! Send the boy
back because , forsooth , she didn't like
children !
The muffled sound of sobs came to
his cars trom Miss Robinson's room.
IIo felt the hush of "the gieat Idea. "
"I Mrs. llalstead ordered mo to
move ! " the spinster explained tearful
ly when she answered his knock. "It
seems so like like home. "
Then ho managed to get out "the
great Idea. " She ? Oh well for love
of the boy yes.

"Public speakers often make curious
mistakes , " said an observant man ,
"and I have had occasion to note some
rather singular things In this respect.
Some time ago I attended a religious
meeting In an out of the way section
of the country , and the very first thing
the speaker said put mo to thinking.
He was a short , stocky fellow , with a
rasping voice , and was as solemn lookIng -
Ing us If he had been going to the guil
lotine. Here is the first thing he had
to say : 'I want to say a few words be
fore sn j Ing vv hat I want to say. ' I
could not refrain from laughing at the
bad break of the fellow , and all the
good things he said after that had no
effect on , me. It was wasted ammuni
tion , so far as I was concerned. This
goes to show what a little mistake will
sometimes do for a man. Really I be
lieve the exhorter was as much put
out by the bull as I was amused , for
his talk was not as smooth as It might
have been. " New Orleans Times-Dem
