r.ea.- Admiral Ralph Donahue, U. S.
: . mired. slsty-threc years old. mar
tl.et, 1t.c!-o!de, woman hater nnd va
rious ether ti:ies. sat at his breakfast
In the Army and Navy elub. He was
thinking of a large sum of money he
had won the night before of young
Lester Sheldon nnd that he would use
It to run aeross the "big pond' and
r.ee Paris in June. As he was rinsing
his 11 liters In a cut glass bowl, prepar
atory to leaving the table, a waltei
stepped up to hint and announced that
a lady wished to see him in the recep
tion room."
"A lady! To" see me! In the recep
tion room! Great Scott! lsu t a man
safe even lu his club?"
"It Isn't usual, sir. but it's an houi
when few members are present, and
she begged so hard that the steward
told the doorkeeper to admit her."
The admiral had Just enough curios
Ity to go to the reception room and
learn the reason for the call. He fouuil
a very pretty young woman in widow's
cap, whose eyes were dimmed with
tears.
?'Oh, admiral," she gasped, "tell me.
have you parted with the notes:
"What notes?"
"That you won from my brother last
night."
"Your brother!"
"Yes : lister ? my brother ? Lestei
Sheldon."
"What's that to yon, madam?"
"Oh. admiral, I've heard of youi
houorable nature and kind heart."
"Bosh! i>i>enk out."
"My brother Is lu great distress. 1
have Just prevented him taking, his
life, lie Is cashier at his place of busi
ness. Lately he has been gambling.
The notes you won he took from his
cash at the otHce. After leaving you
he had one note left and this mornlnR
noticed that Jt was marked."
"Fpr heaven's sake, this Is a prettj
mess for me to be mixed up in!"
? Oh. It's all right If you still have
tho notes."
"I have them."
"How fortunate!" And a relieved
smile came over the sad face like ?'
flood of sunlight from behind a cloud
"1 will take them and glvo you my
check for them."
"But, my dear lady, I didn't win the
money from you. I can't take yout
check. But I will give you the notes.'
"Now, don't spoil everything. 1 can
only handle Lester bv assuring him
that tho notes have been taken r.r
with my check and only you nnd I
and he know of the transaction. ItV
nothing to me, 1 assure you. I have an
Income of $20,000 n year. I've helped
Lester out of many a scrape. I only
hope I'll live to keep something dread
ful from happening to him."
Meanwhile she had gone to a tabic
covered with writing materials, fllled n
blank check she took from her card
case and at the last words handed It
to the admiral.
"Ilut. my dear madam, consider my
position. I, an admiral- In the 1'ultcJ
States navy, to take money from ^ a
woman! Suppose it should get out.
"Mv dear admiral, how Is It to get
out? Will Lester tell? Will I tell?
Only you remain."
"And you think It best for me to"
"Of course. Now. do lot me have
the bills. Lester Is suspected and may
have to turn over his accounts as soon
as he appears at the olHco. He is wait
ing for me. I>? let me go'. '
This was too much for the admiral.
He took the notes from lils p< cketbook
and handed them to the l.uly. She
drop|K-d the che>-k Into the : :? ?n?' re
ceptacle, rubbing her soft hard against
his as she did so and looking up ^ 'th
an exuberance of gratitude out ol hoi
soft eyes. Then she ran awry hur
riedly.
"Well, now," remarked the admiral
to himself. "If 1 could find a woman
like that 1 wouldn't be a woman hater.
To think what she's doing for that
scapegrace brother! Most women ab
sorb money Instead of spending It -In
that way."
lie wns m no mirry to ueposu me
check. Indeed, he was thinking of n
bit of self sacrifice lie might make
tli: t possibly would effect a romance
In his old age ? a romance that would
free lilm from depending on a club for
a !i6:ne. lie fancied himself tearing
up the check or burning It. as the lead
big gentleman In n play would do. and
a certain lady falling Into his own
arms.
The sainr oveulng he was sitting In
his club looking over a paper when
who should saunter In but lister
Sheldon.
"Hello, admiral," he said cheerily.
^ "I'm going for you tonight. I'll take
all you won from me last night and
more too."
The admiral looked at him, aston
Islied.
"What's the matter?" asked Sheldon,
not understanding the surprise. "Don't
you want to give me my revenge?"
"What's the matter? IMdn't your
slater this morning take up the notes
I won from you with her check."
"My sister!"
"Yes, your sister."
"I haven't any sister."
The adtulra) glared for a moment,
then made a dive fot?hls pockotbook,
took out the check, unfolded It and
banded It to Sheldon.
"Admlrnl," said the latter, "^ou've
been bunkoed."
"Runkoed! I bunkoed by a woman!
I never trusted a woman In iny life?
that Is. before."
"You mean you never trusted a good
one. Your only case of confidence was
In a bad one."
Sheldjrtl had talked In his cups of
his loss In a promiscuous crowd.
SULLIVAN KING
EXPERIMENTING
ON A TRAMP.
[Copyright. 1508, by T. C. McClure.)
The widow Gregg was a natural re
former. One afternoon she left lier
farm for the village to do some "trnd
Ing." At 4 o'clock, wiieu ?he return >1
anil drove Into the yard, a strange
speetnele greeted her. What wight l>e
called the north end of a man was pro
truding from n kitchen window. The
case was plain. Ills trousers aud shoes
ihowed him to belong to the genus
tramp. He had called and, finding the
house alone, had forced up tho sash
of the window and started to climb in.
At the halfway point tho sash had
come down on the small of his back,
and he was held as securely as If he
had boon handcuffed and shackled.
Tho widow's face beamed with sat
isfaction us she entered the house to
take a look at his phiz. Yen, It was a
tramp, and a hulking big fellow at
that. She went outdoors with a look
of anticipation In her eyes and hunted
up a bit of board of just the right
shape, and for the next half hour she
was a busy woman. She stood ofT at
Just the rlj'ht distance from the win
dow, and the board rose- and fell with
amazing regularity and vigor. The
tramp kicked his legs about and In
dulged In remarks, but the walloping
did not end until the woman had tired
herself out. Then she took down the
clothesline and wrapped It around the
tramp's legs nbout forty times, en
tered tho house and tied his wrists
securely, and then raised the sash and
let him fall backward on the grass.
As ho lay there she came out to bend
over him and ask: \
"Well, how do you feel now?"
"1? I don't exactly know," was the
reply.
"This is an experiment on my part
I want to bring you to a state of hum
bleness. l)o you think I have accom
plished it.'"
".^es; 1 feel humbler than I did. It's
ji new fee) In', and you must take the
risks of It."
"Oh, I'll look out for the risks. Just
make yourself as comfortable end a
humble as you can, and when the litre.;
man comes tip I'll see to your ease fur
ther."
Two hours later the tramp's hand
were unbound and food set before him
Tho food consisted of bread and watoi
'1 here was a consistency In a linnibl
man eating humble fare. When he had
llnlshed eating he was again made :o
cure and dragged to the barn and lock
el up iu the granary for the night.
"The next stop U to arouse your am
bltion." raid the widow as she 1 ?:
aim. "and I'll tell you my programme
iu the morning. I 1io;k> to llud your
humbleness greatly Increarel by then
Do you still feci humility bubbljng up
In your soul?"
"1 do, inarm, and 1 am sorter afraid
of it. It's a new feelin', and I don't
know what It's going to lend to. It'*
an experiment, Is It?"
"It Is."
"Then you must take the rlsk3, as 1
raid liefore. 1 understands myself nr. a
cheeky tramp, but when you come !<"
make a bumble tramp of me that's dlf
ferent."
Next morning the fellow was hauled
out of the bam and asked if. any ad.li
lional feeling had come to him during
the night, and he replied:
"I thljik there has. marm. 1 think
I'm feeling what you call ambitious
this morning. I find myself thinkiu' of
work without the usual feclln's of
dread accoinpanyln' It. That's ambi
tion, I take It?"
"Yes."
"But don't blame me, inarm, if noy
thin' happens. When you go for to lm
plant uew feelln's in the breast of a
tramp you can't tell what lie's goln' to
do."
"Will you take a hoe and go to work
in the field if I give you a good break
fast?"
"I will, inarm. I'm sorter cuius my
self to set* what's goln' to result frwn
. this new feelln'."
The first result was a breakfast thai
should have done for three hired men.
it kept the widow on the Jump to keej
the table supplied, lie wasn't eating
en his humility appetite, but on lib
ambitious one. When he lmd finished
at last he was asked to cut some wcoo
before going to the Held. In the course
of ten minutes he shivered two. ax
handles and gave a cherry tree a mor
tal blow. Started for .the field to as
sist the hired man. he tramped over
the tomato and cucumber patches, to>*c
down a panel of rail fence getting ovei
it and in the course of another half
hour had wielded his hoe so vigorous
ly among the turnips that he had dus
up two bushels with t lie weeds a>>d
( broken the blade. The hired man
sought to curb him. He was a lusty
hired man that had I! -!;cd over a score
of tramps, but they had been tramps
i without ambition. When he tackled
this one he was laid on ills back forth
with.
Then the tramp headed for the barn,
and with a club he smashed the spokes
out of three wheels of the family car
riage. lie pulled I he harness down
and dragged it nltonf, kicked the horse
out of the stable, broke up >Ue wheel
barrow and pounded the fanulog mill,
and lie was shoveling oats oiri of the
granary window on to the crouiul
when tiie widow came out ami Raid:
"This was an experiment on m,v
part, you know."
"Yes, marra, and I told you to look"
out for results."
"I think you'd better drop your feel
ings of humility and ambition. Here's
a Ave dollar bill, and you may g*
along." M. QUAD.
