Wilton looked at his companions searchingly. How are we to proceed? To get Berenice SERVICE A rather stout woman was making herself a nuisance in the big shop which was holding its annual sale. Nothing, It seemed, would suit her, and the unfortunate shop assistant was be- ginning to get a little weary. e Havent you anything that will fit me?" asked the customer ready-mad- at last Yes; the umbrellas and the handkerchiefs are downstairs, madam, the girl replied- - PERHAPS Belle You are a nice fellow, but if 1 married you, I dont think you could be true Bill Perhaps Im too good to be true. Duffers Two men who were spending a holiday together thought they would like to try their skill at golf.

Now theyre gone, maybe the pupils will come back. It will be a relief to walk down that corridor in the dim light and know theyre not in that room, and wake up in the morning and know they are not at their eternal study. Always studying!

It may be a strange sentiment, Wilton remarked, but I have a distinct aversion to Berenices knowing that her brothers and sisters were killed the added dreadfulness of realizing that their murderer was her fathers confidant her trusted guardian I We want him to give her up. Yet if we have a weapon strong enough to make him relinquish her, we have one which reacts on our own conscience. We have to accuse him - publicly. There was no gainsaying this. Its like looking at a murder out of the tall of ones eye isnt It? remarked Arthur. Knowing some one has passed a window when you half see him. He glanced through the window, looked again with a blank expression that gradually changed to distinct horror.

Now there is only one its Lake with two es, not one. The Unietd States Geographical board has e issued an document which well might be titled Uncle Sams Handbook on Geographic Names, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. It is full of queer names and in the 25,000 decisions on proper spelling there are many strange explanations. For instance Ozark is not an American Indian name, but Is the way Americans adapted the French name of the Aux Arcs.1 picturesque mountains The board continues to call Key West by that name, though it calls attention to the fact that it knows very well this is a mere corruption of the Spanish Cayo Huesco. It officially lists the Tombiges river, winking at the fact the name came about through local inability to pronounce the Amerindian appellation of Itombl-Ikrwhich means the place where coffins are made. The board, however, declined to go so far as to charge the Purgatoire river in Colorado to the Plcketwlre, as Winne-pasauke- e 800-pag- i, it says certain natives of the region prefer to call It The report lists such names as Pork and Beans, Palntpot Meat Mountain, Huckleberry, Mendicant Ridge, Starve to Death Creek and Black Growler, but it smiles a bit condescendingly at them.
