rolling like a ship In a gentle seaway,
sways the footbridge. The engineer cheer
fully and apropos of nothing that we care
about at the time, mentions that the men
are so proud of having completed the work
of cable spinning that they have begun
already to take tha Iron trusses off our
meager roadway. That, he explains with
the satisfaction of aclence, is what makes
the footbridge swing so. He stops quite
unnecessarily to explain It.
Then we begin the ascent toward the
New York, or rather, Manhattan tower,
though nobody ever calls It that, even by
accident. If the climb from the Brooklyn
anchorage to the tower was hard, now, In

It had been a pleasant morning walk.

To look down and see Manhattan's Immense
buildings, dwarf-like under us, tells us
suddenly that there Is such a thing as dlx

enced It before this, we learn now thai
we did not know what the real thing was.

her after he had doused the glim and

the Washington Post.
"Ha! hal ha!" he gurgled, as he settled
back on his pillow his wife had been In
bed for about fifteen minutes then
Heard a Jim Dandy of a story about
Billy Fantoida this afternoon. It seems
that Billy took It into his head to go fish

and b'jing, he hired a lenky skiff over in
Georgetown without knowing that the
blamed thing waa leaky. Well, when he
had rowed out to the middle of the river,

At this stage of it the narrator heard
an exceedingly gentle feminine snore along
side of htm.
B Jee, It she basn t gone to aleep on
me again," he said to himself, aggrievedly.
"Mary," he said, aloud, "are you awake?
There was no reply.
"Huh! Wonder she couldn't just be civil
enough to keep awake while a fellow's
telling her a good story, anyhow," he
growled to himself, and then he had
sudden Idea.
"Well," he proceeded, in precisely the
same tone that he had employed In start
