THE POSSIBLE MAN BY KEITH GORDON Copyright, 1894, by Keith Gordon Miss Van Orden halted and regarded the display in the windows of Berg & Co., with kindling eyes. There really was no excuse for her to linger at that particular window, for Berg & Co., as everybody knows, are haberdashers, and Miss Van Orden was fatherless, brotherless and unmarried. "Talk about women's clothes," ran her thoughts as she reluctantly prepared to move onward. "Why, there isn't a window in town that compares with this for charm. Dresses—ugh! Ruffles, tucks, plaits, French knots and jussiness! But this—it's a poem! Just imagine some big creature in that pink bathrobe or." With a silent laugh, she caught her lip between her teeth and moved down the street toward the dry goods shops. But the windows appeared cheap, overloaded and tawdry. Berg's store, with its display of masculine attire whose severity sometimes verged just near enough to softness and beauty to be fascinating, kept rising before her eyes, and almost automatically she retraced her steps in that direction. By the time she again reached Berg & Co.'s she had an idea that made her giggle; though her eyes were bright and her cheeks went pink. Some girls, she reflected, boarded china and silver, others linen and still others old mahogany against the day when "time and chance" should bring the man whom they all confidently expected. She would depart from such main traveled ways and do something equally practical, though more unusual. She entered the store rather timidly, but the sight of a portly dowager at one of the counters reassured her, and she was soon examining bathrobes with an ease and assurance that might have been acquired by years of shoplog for masculine relatives. "What size?" asked the clerk when after much hesitation between a pink and a blue one, she had finally decided on the former. At the question she stared at him in blank amazement. "That is, how tall is he?" he went on, judging from her look that she failed to understand. Then she recovered herself. "Six feet," she answered, with a hysterical relief as a thought occurred to her. "T. P. M." the clerk repeated, lying her reproachfully. "Right—er they're not for Mr. Van Orden," she observed firmly, giving him look for look. Neckties and scarf pins were added to her collection without difficulty, but when it came to the purchase of a waistcoat that lured her with its dash and style the question of size again cropped up. By this time, however, the clerk had learned to think of her as the "excentric Mrs. Van Orden" and was prepared for the vagueness of her orders. Not even when she dreamily selected a pair of gray soaks with dark red clocks, to match the gray shirt, and demanded them of a size to match a No. 16 collar did he make any demeanor. The time for leaving town had arrived, and the contents of the carved chest were carefully arranged for the last time and then locked up with the sweet scented bags of lavender. Elose sighed at the thought of leaving the things, for they had come to have a sort of personality of their own. They were beautiful in themselves, and besides, the one who was to wear them, should they ever be worn, would be for her the king of the world. She sometimes tried to picture him, but his face eluded her. Yet the face of her dream often bore a startling resemblance to Philip Hamilton, and that gentleman himself was becoming a more and more prominent fact in her life. More than once she had surprised a strange, tense question in his eyes—a speculative look that made her happy, yet afraid. She half wished that he was not going to his cousin's for the summer, since that would place them in the same little colony for the next three months. But in the weeks that followed, when riding, golf and moons' openings on the broad piazzas brought them constantly together, her feelings underwent a change, and she was appalled at the desolation she felt when he rained to towns for a few days, as he did now and then. It was on one of these occasions that she found herself alone on the porch one evening, when a brisk step sounded on the gravel. She rose as Philip Hamilton sprang up the steps and came toward her in the soft moonlight, the tumultuous joy that she supposed hidden in her heart shining in her eyes and dancing on her lips. He looked down at her for one moment with eyes before whose mastery A LEVEL HEADED I was only twenty-four years. One of the managers—a cousin of Thonon Yorke—had been friendly with this time, and he was looking all as a pattern of morality. One busy afternoon Mr. gave me two or three extras to do, and when it came time our bank deposit I had seen in the fire at once. Trade rushing and sales heavy happened that about every cash. The sum for deposit, and I had just counted it we came into the office to ask check that had been mailed try customer and had not yet been upstairs to see Yorke him for an explanation. The man stood right up everything. He even stated did not go out on the side happened that no one had in the office, and so it was of veracity. I had seven years of faithful honesty my credit. Yorke was an church member and above. He denied asking me about or being in the office, and easily and gracefully that was deceived. I was asked I was engaged to a young one of the first results we father forbade me—the shouldn't have blamed them she added a postscript to let instead of that she lie in coming to see me at my place, and/there we discuss in all its bearing. She sible level headed girl, and Your story sounds all but the trouble is to make believe it. He denies be office at all. Our first move to prove that he was. O member of no one calling tions or to use the telephone She entered the store rather timidly, but the sight of a portly dowager at one of the counters reassured her, and she was soon examining bathrobes with an ease and assurance that might have been acquired by years of shopping for massline relatives. "What size?" asked the clerk when after much hesitation between a pink and a blue one, she had finally decided on the former. At the question she stared at him in blank amazement. "That is, how tall is he?" he went on, judging from her look that she failed to understand. Then she recovered herself. "Six feet," she answered, with a non-evilant you should have taken that granted air. And then, remembering her preference in the matter, she added, "And broad—very broad shoulder, you know." In a manner so deliberate and composed that without further question the clerk made out the check for "Mrs." E. Van Orden and solicitously begged her to look at their spring shirts and the newest gragas. "I don't think he needs anything in that line just now," she remarked, with well assumed doubtfulness, as she laughedly viewed the stock. "Do they—would my husband have to be measured for these shirts?" she demanded. The clerk reddied. "But we'll send a man up any time," he explained, with a polite desire to be accommodating. The lady shook her head. "You see, that wouldn't do. He isn't here yet! But couldn't I give you his collar measure and couldn't you just make them proportionately?" The clerk thought they might, though they couldn't guarantee the fit under those circumstances, and when his customer announced airily that wouldn't make any difference he looked a trifle mystified. Eloise meanwhile emerged into the street aglow with the eagerness of a rather bored young woman who has found a new and interesting occupation. Her grandmother Castles carved chest would be the very place to keep the things, and fortunately it stood in her room and had a good strong lock. No one but the mate, whoever and wherever he was, should ever know about this escapade of hers. She wondered, after all, if men really wore bathrobes like that—pink, all softest wool, lined with thin silk and shockingly expensive. Then she absolutely chuckled aloud. What if the man should happen to have red hair? In this world you never know who carries the key to your heart until he arrives on the scene some fine day and— Her meditations were cut short by the gabulation of a man who was passing and whose glance carried something that arrested her attention. It was something indescribable, elusive—a quick, keen lighting up of his face at the sight of her, as instantly vanishing in the calm, passive glance of a well brod acquaintance. But she had seen it—that strange, telltale look—and her heart beat more quickly because of it. She had met him but twice—once at a dinner at Mrs. Lorimer's and afterward at the Baneker cotillon—but he was the cousin of her dearest friend, and she had heard more or less about "Philip" for years. Stanley together, her feelings underwent a change, and she was appalled at the desolation she felt when he ran up to town for a few days, as he did now and then. It was on one of these occasions that she found herself alone on the porch one evening, when brisk step sounded on the gravel. She rose as Philip Hamilton sprang up the steps and came toward her in the soft moonlight, the tumultuous joy that she supposed hidden in her heart shining in her eyes and dancing on her lips. He looked down at her for one moment with eyes before whose mastery her own wavered and fell. Then, with a low, convoluted laugh, he drew her to him, suspering. "There are some things to durling that one does not need to do." It was one rainy evening; soon after the return from their wedding trip that Elose told her husband the story of the trousseau it had amused her to provide—a tale that he listened to with a gust of laughter. "Oh, my; oh, my!" he groaned as she held up the article one after another. "You certainly have good taste, though little girl," he added approvingly, "and I hope they'll eat." Then his face sobered and he stared at the monogram on a shirt sleeve fixedly for a second and then looked up at her with puzzled eyes while she watched him fortively, wishing that she could get that ridiculous, offenate bathrobe out of sight without his catching a glimpse of it. "T.P.M." he said slowly. The words sounded like water dropping on a hot stove and eyes took on a steely light. "I am waiting for you to explain," he said coldly. Eloise made a little rush at him and hid her face on his shoulder. "Don't you see?" she murmured. "Why, you silly boy," T.P.M.'s stands for The Possible Man,' and so, you see, it's your monogram! A great light broke over Philip's face, and as a penalty for the momentary clouding of his faith he wore the silk lined bathrobe like a martyr. Timely Prompt. A Hollimore man tells of a dinner he attended upon one occasion when a clerical guest was requested to ask a blessing. The reverend gentleman complied, but once started on his flow of invocation there seemed no indication that he ever intended to stop. On and on swept the stream of eloquence while the soap turned stone cold and the hostess looked appealingly at her husband. Subsequently the host broke into the blessing with a fervent and final "Amen." The clergyman stopped and, with boaring eyes, ejaculated: "Oh, thank you, thank you. I could not think of the word 'amen' to save my life." Baltimore Sun.

It was something indescribable, elusive—a quick, keen lighting up of his face at the sight of her, as instantly vanishing in the calm, passive glance of a well bred acquaintance.

She had met him but twice once at a dinner at Mrs. Lorimer's and afterward at the Bancker cotillon—but he was the cousin of her dearest friend, and she had heard more or less about "Philip" for years. When at last the little flutter of the meeting had subsided she remarked to herself demurely a certain coincidence—namely, that Philip Hamilton was six feet tall, very broad shouldered, and that black hair and gray eyes go well with pale pink. Before her departure from town for the summer Eloise's carved chest contained many treasures of masculine wearing apparel. Among other things six shirts—it had taken her a forenoon to select them, and it had almost been her undoing—had joined the pink bathrobe. It was really the "swagger" monogram on the sleeve that had convinced her that she could not be happy until she added them to his trousseau, as she called it. She had decided every detail—that on the pale gray ene the monogram should be in dark red, on the tan in dark brown, etc.—when the clerk, who had learned to know her and whom she guiltily permitted to address her as "Mrs. Van Orden," praised pencil suspended above his order book, as if wafting for some further instructions. She regarded him in surprise. "That's all," she said at last. "But Mr. Van Orden's initials—for the monogram, you know," he prompted smilingly. Eloise gasped. Never once had it occurred to her that in order to have that fascinating monogram on the left sleeve some initials would be required. The floor showed no disposition to open and swallow her up, and the clerk sat watching her as if he might tap his forehead significantly to his fellow clerks once her back was turned and shake his head sadly.

Try them today A LEVEL HEADED GIRL [Copyright, list by T. C. McClure] I was only twenty four years old and yet I had been cashier of the big dry goods house of Thomas & Co. for five years. One of the department managers a cousin of Thomas, named Yorke had been friendly with me all this time, and he was looked upon by all as a pattern of morality. One busy afternoon Mr. Thomas gave me two or three extra things to do, and when it came time to make our bank deposit I had several irons in the fire at once. Trade had been rushing and sales heavy, and it so happened that about everything was cash. The sum for deposit was $5,800, and I had just counted it when Yorke came into the office to ask about a check that had been mailed by a country customer and had not turned up. I was in a hurry to get out the items for a statement of account wanted, and as Yorke had his hat and coat on and was evidently going out, I asked him to take the money and the book and make the deposit. I did not see him when he returned. I found the book on my desk and placed it in the safe without opening it. It was not until next forenoon that I made the discovery that no deposit had been credited the day before. I at once went upstairs to see Yorke and ask him for an explanation. The man stood right up, and denied everything. He even stated that he did not go out on the street. It so happened that no one had seen him in the office, and so it was a question of veracity. I had seven or eight years of faithful honesty service to my credit. Yorke was a relative, a church member and above reproach. He denied asking me about the check or being in the office, and he lied so easily and gracefully that everybody was deceived. I was asked to resign. I was engaged to a young lady, and one of the first results was that her father forbade me the house. I shouldn't have blamed the girl had she added a postscript to his message, but instead of that she lost no time in coming to see me at my boarding place, and there we discussed the matter in all its bearing. She was a sensible, level headed girl, and she said: "Your story sounds all right to me, but the trouble is to make other folks believe it. He denies being in the office at all.

Five kinds of day are recognized, and it has been said that the word "day" has no real meaning without an objective defining what kind of a day is meant. There is a civil day, the astronomical day, the apparent solar day, the mean solar day and the sidereal day. The civil day begins at the midnight preceding mean noon and consists of twenty-four hours counted after 12 o'clock. The astronomical day begins twelve hours after the civil day, or at the mean noon of the corresponding civil day. These hours are reckoned from 0 to 24. It will be seen, therefore, that while 10 hours 12 minutes Jan. 1 astronomical time is also 10 hours 12 minutes Jan. 1 civil time, yet 22 hours 12 minutes Jan. 1 astronomical time is also 10 hours 12 minutes a.m. Jan. 2 civil time. There are many anomalies growing out of this use of the civil day, and there are many arguments in favor of using the astronomical day.

They are carried proudly over the heads of every official and every nobleman, but invariably are shipped at the approach of a person of higher rank, and inside the crown no umbrella may be carried open except that of the emperor Lieoff. The umbrella is the crown, the wind of office, the outward sign of rank and distinction. There are umbrellas of gold inside and out for the emperor; of gold outside only for the empress, with a stripe of yellow paint for the emperor's brothers, with a wider stripe of the same material for his illegitimate brothers, of white silk with a narrow gold stripe for the illegitimate sons of the legitimate brothers, and so on ad infinitum. Every official, every military officer, exhibits his likeness in his umbrella, which is invariably held from behind by an attendant whenever he leaves his house in sunshine or cloudy weather. There is an official guide book to the umbrella labyrinth of Surakarta which contains not less than 300 various designs in all imaginable colors and ornamentation.

Our first move must be to prove that he was. Can you remember of no one calling to ask questions or to use the telephone at about the time he was there?" No. Hold on a minute. Yes, I do remember. I am almost sure that Harry Johnson was in and telephoned about a horse, but the matter had entirely slipped my memory. "Then lose no time in finding him." When I started to look him up I found that Johnson was in a city 250 miles away. Next day I walked in on him. He hadn't heard of my trouble, and I hadn't finished telling my story when he interrupted me with: "No use going any further, my boy. While I stood with the trumpet of my ear I saw you hand Yorke the money and the book, and I heard you say that he had only time to reach the bank." Johnson's statement was put in the form of an affidavit, and I returned home rejoicing that my misgrace had been removed. "You have hardly begun yet," observed the level headed girl, as she finished reading the document. "This satisfies me but it won't satisfy the firm. Johnson is a friend of yours, and they will argue that he is trying to help you out." "But what else can we do?" I asked. "Trap the thief. We know that he has a bank account, but he is too sharp to deposit any of the stolen money as soon as this. His boarding house is in Vine street. I believe that a search of his rooms would discover the money. Can you remember the demonstration of any of the bills?" "There was a good deal of small money, but there was one $500 bill. It did not come from a customer, but I changed it for Slater, the druggist. It was a brand new treasury note, and he said he got it from Williams, the real estate man." While I set out to trace the bill the girl started to investigate Yorke further. Knowing that he had a sister in a distant town, she provided herself with a traveling bag and drove up to the house in a back, and claiming to be the sister come on a brief visit she was passed up to Yorke's room. She found that money in ten minutes' search. It wasn't taken away in closet or between the mattresses or under the carpet, but between the covers of a big Bible ostensibly displayed on a center table. An hour later she met me to say: "Now you go to Mr. Thomas and show him the affidavit. Then apply for a search warrant and have it served right away. Inside of two hours your name will be cleared, and Yorke will be a much astonished man." Mr. Thomas was a bit surprised at my call.

FUHRBERG, Proprietor Los Angeles Beer on Tap ANAHEIM THE GIRL IN THE SAILOR COLLAR [Original] Traveling in the west where the stage coach is not yet obsolete, riding beside the driver, I asked him to narrate some adventure that had happened to him while on the box. This is what I succeeded in drawing forth: When they was buildin' the Union Pacific I was drivin' between Julesburg—that was the end of the rail—to Denver. One night I'd scarcely got out o' town when I could see in the dusk the figur' of a gal skippin' along the road ahead of me. When I ketched up with her she turned a frightened glance at me, and, feelin' kind of enrus about her, I asked her to git up on the coach. I give her a hand and lifted her to the seat you're occupyn' now. She didn't seem inclined to talk, and as I pushed her pretty hard to do so she climbed up onto the hindmost seat, where I couldn't git at her. When we made the second change of stock it was dark as pitch, for it was 10 o'clock and a cloudy night. Soon as I'd twisted the ribbons in the brake I turned round toward the gal and found her sprawled half on the seat and half on the coach top. I went back to her and found her dead, with a knife stickin' into her heart. Well, the body was sent back to Julesburg, where there was an inquest. The gal was recognized as one of the kind that made up the population of that temporary settlement, though she hadn't been at the place more'n two days. The coroner didn't give himself much trouble about the case, and as for suspectin' me he knew I hadn't no motive fur the act. They rough and tough people was always-a-killin' each other, and the gal was probably runn' away from some un who follored her, climbed up over the "boot" and stabbed her. If that whit he was a-leanin' up agin' wasn't a gal, then I hadn't eyes capable of driving' a six loss team. Consilienus was a white sailor collar where the neck ought ter be, and I suddenly remembered that the gal that had been murdered had worn jist such a collar. I had to supply the head by imaginin' it, but bimely it seemed to me the face of the murdered gal came out o' the blackness. I must have been flustered, for I didn't show no kind o' sense. If it was the gal it must have been her ghost, and there wasn't no use talkin' about her to no one. Instead o' keepin' quiet I asked: "Where did y' take on the gal?" The feller seemed to wake from a sleep, for he set up straight instead of leagin' agin the figur' or whatever it was and asked kind o' dazed: "What?" "The gal beside y'? Where did y' take her on?" "Gal? What gal?" "The gal with the white sailor color." The feller gave a shriek and climbed over the back of the seat, keepin' his face my way and gain' backward till he disappeared behind the coach and he heered somep'n go thund on the road. I pulled in and went back and there he lay dead. He'd broke his neck. Soon as we'd got body on the coach I looked for the gal. What do ye suppose, stranger. I'd tuk for her? A bundle of rolled blankets with part of a linen duster stuck out at one end, which in the dark I'd tuk for a collar. The feller had taken it up on to the seat and gone to sleep again it. The cur's part of it was that we found the gal's pictur' in his pocket, and she wore the same sailor collar as when she been murdered. Before the coroner people teilded that the man had gone to Julesberg with her and since she carried had been continuously. JOYN MAYERS WYETH. THE CAUSE OF SUFFIX.

He was a good deal more surprised when I handed him the affidavit and told him about the $500 bill and added that I should apply for a search warrant. It took the officer an hour and a half to find the money, as he was given no hint of its location. I met him at the store, and there was a very solemn meeting in the manager's room. Yorke was called downstairs and shown the affidavit and made acquaintance with the result of the search. I expected he would trace the charge as boldly as he had faced me, but the thing came so suddenly that he had no time to work up his nerve. I got my place back, and am holding it yet, and the father of the level headed girl has no complaint against me as a son-in-law. The Tond. The wonderful insect killing capacity of the tond is known in a general way to the eulightened few, says Country Life in America. An imported colony of toads may be the salvation of a flower garden. Many gardeners give their children a cent apiece for every entworm destroyed. From May 1 to Aug. 1 a toad may destroy 2,160 cutworms, which it would cost $21.60 to destroy by hand. English gardeners are said to pay as much as $25 a hundred for toads for colonizing purposes. Furious Fighting "For seven years," writes Geo. W.

When I come up with him he didn't seem to notice me, keepir' on wissin' his hands as though he'd got pizen on 'em and was mighty anxious to git it off. I noticed he was mighty pale, and not likin' to leave a human being who didn't seem quite right out so far from any one. I asked him if he wanted a lift. He turned his face on me, and I give you my word, stranger, it was the wildest lookin' face I ever see. He didn't say nothin', but jist kep' on washin' his hands. More'n ever diskin' to leave him! I asked him again. This time he stopped his washin' and climbed up. I wanted him to set by me as 'I could pump him, but he went up to the back seat and never said a word. I concluded to let him alone, and as he didn't say nothin' I forgot he was there. Blachy I remembered him and looked around to see if he was all right. It was a dark night, but I could see his agar' fur it stood out above the sky line. But what surprised me was that close beside him was another figur', which, it seemed to me, was a woman. But I wasn't certain that it was either man or woman—I wasn't certain that it was any living thing at all. I didn't want to make a male o'myself by askin' the feller if he had any one beside him when I wasn't certain there was anybody there, so I jist attended to my drivin' and let him alone. Not suppose, stranger. I'd taki for her? A bundle of rolled blankets with part of a linen duster stuck out at one end, which in the dark I'd taki for a collar. The feller had taken it up on to the seat and gone to sleep again it. The earl's part of it was that we found the gal's picture' in his pocket, and she wore the same sailor collar as when she'd been murdered. Before the coroner people testified that the man had gone to Julesberg with her, since the murder had been continually witnessed. THE CAUSE OF SURGE. Why Waves Always Become Breakers In Shallow Water. Long and oscillatory waves run by gravity, the first agitating the water to nearly the same amount at all depths, while the chief disturbance due to the latter combines itself to the upper layers of the water. These oscillatory waves, the most typical example of which is perhaps furnished by the "swall" or regular rolling waves which continue to run in deep water after a storm, will break on a shelving shore when their height is about equal to the depth of water. When the depth is sufficient to allow the oscillations to proceed unimpeded so progressive motion takes place, each column being kept in its place by the pressure of surrounding columns. If, however, free oscillation is prevented, as by the interposition of a rock or by the shelving of the shore, the columns in the deep water are not balanced by those in the shallower, and thus they acquire a progressive motion and form "breakers." For this reason waves always break against the shore, whatever is direction of the wind.
