The Result of Coincidence.
By Maude E- Cougar
Of course, It wob nil John'H fault.
Ma Bnld bo and bo did Mrs. Stuyvoaant
Smyth, and of coutbo they ought to
hnvo known If anybody ought. And,
bOBldOB, IP John hadn't left the carriage-house
door unlocked Dotty and I
would never once have thought of go
ing In nnd If he had put his old shears
away whero thoy belonged, something
oIbo might not have happened. But,
as It was. that something did happen
and Mrs. Stuyvesant-Smyth went away
In a high old temper and ma got mad
as a hornet and discharged John on the
spot. But Betty was ccarod to death
and If It hadn't been for me Bho would
lmvo up and told the whole business
and spoiled all the fun it was fun to
boo. Mrs. Stuyvesnnt-Smyth's nose get
redder and redder as she got madder
and madder and to see ma taking the
hond off of everybody who came
around. That's the reaBon Betty and
me sneaked In the back way and hid
behind the parlor curtains and stayed
there for hours and hours.
We never did like that Stuyvesant
Smyth woman, 'cause she was always
talking how good her little boy was
and how "dreadfully noisy" Betty and
I were. That made us tired; and then,
she always brought an ugly little pup
all covered over with hair about a foot
long, and made Betty and me walk
up and down the sidewalk with It,
holding It by a chain; or made us go
around on tip-toes and talk In whispers
If TreB Petite was aBleop. "Thes Pe
tite" that's what she called It a
mlehtv outlandish sort of name, I
think.
Well, that day when John "left the
carriage-house door unlocked, Betty
Betty and me thought we'd just go In
a little bit and look around; and when
wo got Inside. there was ma's
brougham standing there, wide open
and being aired. Betty and me got In.
It was lots of fun, at first, protending
we were on Fifth avenue, or having a
runaway and smashing into people.
But we got tired of that and begun to
hunt around. There was a nice big
holp underneath tho back seat and we
were just looking Into It and thinking
what a lark It would be to crawl In
there, when, all of a sudden, we heard
someone coming and In we went be
fore you could think. Botty was afraid
but 1 told her to be quiet and I would
protect her If need be.
It was John coming to get the
brougham for ma, but we Just stayed In
tho hole as quiet as mice, although
Betty wanted to get out more than
once.
John drove around to the front door
and who should we hear, In a little bit,
but Mrs. Stuyvesant-Smyth talking to
ma. Then they got into the carriage.
"Shucks," I whispered to Betty.
"That woman again."
"Let's get out." she whispered back,
while I felt her hands moving about,
trying to find a way.
"Not much I'm not going to misb
the fun." So we stayed.
Protty soon I heard Tres Petite snif
fing around outside.
"That little cur, do you hear her?"
I asked Betty.
"Yes, nasty little thing," she an
swered. Then I heard net: give a gasp.
"Hush," I murmured. "What's the
matter? What you got?"
"O I don't know yes It's shears!
My, how It scared me they were so
cold." Betty always was a fraid-cat.
"Shears?" I whispered. Sure enough.
I could foel them.
Just then the carriage stopped and I
heard ma say: "John, you keep Tres
Potlte here In the carriage and see that
Bhe doesn't get out. "We will be back
soon." And then they went away.
Well, of c'oursovJnever Intended do
ing it at all, and Betty kind of hesi
tated, but I peeked and John wasn't
looking, so I reached out and grabbed
hold of that hair. -
"I don't care." J said to Betty. "We'll
have our revenge. You hold the little
beast."
We stuck all the hair In a corner
under the carriage-seat and when ma
and Mrs. Stuyvesant-Smyth. came back
I expect Tres Petite did look rather
queer. And then that Smyth woman
went off, saying she'd never show her
face inside our house again, and ma
jwas just boiling mad. I don't see why;
I'm sure I hope Bhe doesn't, then Betty
and mo won't have to look after her
old dog and walk on tip-toes any more.
The only thing I'm sorry about Is
that John had to get out, but then, you
see. It was all his' fault.
