Sun. 0<H?Ot?K>00<K?H?H?H?K The Truth About Tobias IT TOOK Hanora quite a time to find out tha truth about Tobias. Not that Tobiae could ordinarily be eon aidered a mysterioua individual. In deed, he was precisely the rcverse. From tha cool dawn hour in whieh he arose to go forth and driva the team for Twi.t & T.ifTeta, of whieh firm he was trusted collector, until his return at 6:30 to th. modest flat where |is aister?and supper?awaited him, his life was a clean and commonplace page, spread wide for every casual oi* interested glance. His nights, if lesa exposed to the are lights of public acrutiny, might as well have been ao. For, after eating heartily of the food Hanora had prepared, and refexring to tha same in admiring terms, he was wont to remove his shoes aa unneces aary impedimenta, placa hia feet in their well-darned hose upon the chair "beyant." light his pipe, drink the aol itary bottle of beer whieh Hanora per mitted him, and read the mighty accu mulation of both morning and evening papers until the autocratie epinatcr who ruled his nbode suggested "a decatle." and turmd the iamp low bj wav of a gentle but quite sutlicient hint. Tobias was 40- plus five. He had a briekdust skin, p.i'.c bfOWB, a pujrna cious nose, and a BSatla ftf gaeh smldru. aTBafaalBaj. aposaajetie radiaaee it ex plained his love for his fellow-men in general and for Hanora in particular. Jndeed. bis was the only love that had ever oome llanoru's way. She had never been guilty of that form of highway robbery known as coquetry. Not that Bhe was un&ophisticated. She knew that a woman quick of perception and adroit of nnger may appropriate the purse of one who walks her way and auffers incarceration. Aml she knew also that one who possesses herself of an unappropriated innseuline heart not onlj- goea free in the sight of the law, but glories if she will in her-guile and in the magnitude of her deeds. Whether the bonds of inopportunity had ahaek led Hanora R\an or whethor she had preferred maiden triumph to the ex tiltation of matronhood deponent aay eth not. Anyhow, to get baek to the truth about Tobias. On one memorable niidsummer eve he devoured lenaon pie without protest. Hanora knew he loati-ed lemnn pie. On the following Baonttef he meekly ate the Freaeh toast she set before him, instead of his regulation potato and rasher. This was her second test. For Tobias had franklv declared only two weeks bjm that he would eat no more Frenrh, or Flemish. or?no, begorrah?Boer toast. that was made of stale brearf dipped in ,egg and fried! So there! She began to feel suspieious. He was a good brother, but alarmingly docile when present ed with \ iands for whieh he pos eessed an aversion. She waa like the pnrrot whieh its owner doelared "aaid little but done a devil of a heap of thinkin*!" She thought a good deal in thosedays. When Tobias auBjgeated hringing a friend home with him to dinner she thought more than ever, albeit she possibh aaid less. "To be bringin' a man here for a male!" quoth ahe. "What kind of a inan might he be, now, Tobias?" "Sthraight as they make >m!" prompt'.y reapondedTobiaa. "Hedrives the *ruah' boa. He'a a food wan. Be'?! relish one of your raspberry rolls? that he would, Hanora!" Whereat Hanora blushed in a wintry sunset aort of way and said he might bring his friend. He did bring his friend. And?to tell the truth?Hanora looked exoeed ingly well. She had given her blaek silk skirt a "dip." whatevertbat myste? rioua phraseology may mean. And she wore with this a shirt waist of softeat lawn, whieh she had bought at quite an nbsurd fisriire because it was one of the smallest sizes. This she had duly and delicately laundered. Not that "The hou?chold art was the only dower Bhe would bring for a glft to him she wed." But the household art ehone up in resplendence on that particular night. Never, thought treacherous Tobiaa, with a glow at his heart, had any man sueh a sister, an<l if it were not for the?here he hroke off in an agony of deception whieh made him temporarily oblivious of the merits of the rasp? berry roll. "You ain't eat a bite!" avowed Hanora. Tobiaa made a aweeping gesture acroaa hia Adam's apple. "Clear to herel" he declared, with delicioue aaendaeity. After rupper they went into the par lOC* J&MPOta played pn tha orgaji? yes. and sangT too, in a sweetTthiu little voiee. She sang "The Meeting of the Waters" and "The Kerry Danc ing** and the "Wenring of the Green." No rag time for Hanora. "JShe's a jewel)'* commented Den nis Maguire, addressing Tobias Ryan, when they purted on the sidewalk. "Aiu't?ain't"?titnidly. "there any wan a-coortin*!" "N'ivir a wan!" returned Tobias. Ba felt so guilty upon his return he could hardh make the proper re sponses to the "decade" whieh Hanora was "giving out." He did not come home uutil teu o'clock tho following night ?nor yet the next. He explained his abseuce by mysterious allusiona to "caueuses" and "primaries." there by soothing Hanora and stultifying lis conscieuee. lt was not until Han ?ra found a rose in the buttonhole of Iiis eoat one morning and a little lace trimined handkerchief in his poeket that her direst doubts were aroused. But even these Tobias explained away. "Sure tbe flower eost nothin', Han? ora. 'Twaa from a bush 1 was pass in', And the handkerchief was on the sidewalk. I thought belike you could make use of it." 11a was rapidly becoming a beauti fUl liar. A week later ha refused to go out with Hanora and Dennis on account of tha night being damp. He had rheumatism, he said. So hia siater and hia friend went to the theater and Tobias settled himself to the com poaition of a long and fervent letter, the accomplishment of whieh neces sitated frequent reference to the poek? et dietionary he had bought for this purpose. To make a long story short ?and it waa not such a long story when all was said?Hanora married Dennis Maguire. Tobias was desolate ?discon.olata. Ha might go to llva witb them. Dennis had won a treas ure. Yes, he might go to live with them after awhile. For the present ha would take his meals at a reatau rant until sure what could ba dona witb the furniture?and ao on. All through her wedding journey, whieh last.d full three weeka, it troubled Mra. Maguire to determine what waa the matter with Tobiaa She told her new made lord all about ??i AM ins sistkr." sin-: said. his evcnmtr iihsences, his mild acccpt aneo of ?iataetefaj \iands, his abrupt and BJBkSNjf hospitalitv toward Dennis? avajB about the roae and handkerchief. It was BjOt until she had returned to Chicago and went out to the ihit where had been passed her yeara of matuie inaidenhood tuat she reallv dlajooveted the trtath about Tobias. '?'?"'

I. EDGAR JONES. Greatest fiame of Poker THE two men approached the card tablc reluctantly, without that eagerness ihowo by most persons about to ait into a game of poker. These men aeemed burdened almoKt by the famoua "weight of centuries" that M. Millet and Mr. Markhara exploited with ao much aorrow and proiit. After they had sat down, they did not take up any pack of cards. Though there were no cards on the table, they began to bet. aadly.aaif theirhearts wera not in what should nave been a plcasure to both. though a profit to only one. "I rajse yon one cent," sighed John Oxheart, the third of that name. And hia friend said, gloomily: "I see you and go you one better." *'I ralse you the limit,*' remarked Oxhtart, and George Flint the third again replied: *'I aec your raise and raise you all the way." So the game went on until ten beti had been madf* In one corner of tha room sat an intelligcnt stenographer, who in an old-fashioned notebook had been tnking down eaeh bet as it waa made. lle now closed the notebook. lataj it on the table, and retired.

The Iiin it waa fne eeata; sim|)ie aahaded chil? dren of nature. tliev ?iid not niake the limit toahifrh. They played merely for emaeeatent* the money in the game al feeted them not. So they began. After an hour or BO, when .Maj. Oxheart had about eijfht eeata of t'ol. Flint's money (they liaii not thee their taal aoilitary titles) it was the major's turn to bet. He bet the limit; and the raptain aaw him and raised the limit. Two or three breathleaa minutes pa^^ed dariac whieh eaeh in turn aaw his friend's raise. and raised it. There must have been $1.58 ou the board. The major evidently took in ill part the pertinacity of his friend. "'Veh betteh dro]? out. (Jeorge," he said. "1've got yeh kilt." *'l won't dropoutyet awhile. m'Ii,-' b*B> swered Flint. "lt'll take moh'n yeh have to kill me." "Don't yeh reply to me in tha' tone O* voice, seh!" cried the major, an grily.

The major swore a great oath that be could and would beat theoaptaia'a hand. and both friends glared augnly at eaeh other across the table. They stood like that for so long that the hotel keeper, aroused at the unwonted quiet, entered the room to see what was tbe matter. He ealled help; the two friends, who had become almost cata leptic, were taken apart, and trouble was averted for the time. But Capt. Flint bade the tavern keeper to seal hia hand of cards in a package, an ? saw it done before he left the hote". Maj. Oxheart saw his hand sealed in a aimilar package. A few days later the two frlenda tnet again, and after some talk re turned to the game. The hands, atill sealed up, were produced by the hotel keeper, and the game began where it had left off. Disagreement again broke up the game, and again the boniface, Col. Carter, took charge of the hands, aealing them in aecond euvelopea. So for flve years the game went on, never finiahed, and at eaeh aeparation Col. Carter sealed the hands in additional envelopea. The war lnterrupted the friendly eonfest, But not for ioog. Agatn ana egain. as thance permitted. (Ol. Ox heart and I.ieut. Col. Flint would get the paekages from (Ipii. ( arter and beyin the never ending game. VYhen tien.

Then the gal lant spiii'Mn-ui ;,,,,! snldier dted. When Oxhcart and Flint arerc found dead. CoL Tollive* (he had been pro moted) gave the paekages to Ihe rep resentative of the belra Col. Jonea Knraughty-Darby. who plneed them in a safe depeadt raolt. I ader the eir euinstaiiees. it w.is on!y natural that the two lieirs should be represented by one peraoa. (ol. Knraughtv -Darby related the faets in the ease t<f the two young men and left it to their conseienees to lead them to do what should be done. He knew well what they would do. They went on with the game! The same rules stood; they began where their fnthers had left off. The proajreaa made was lit? tle and slow, for their altered circum atances kept them apart much of tha time. In time they married and had sons; to the eldest son each man told the story of the great game; and it ia these men, grandsons of the original "players, that earried on the game. Every week if they could get together they met and made ten bets. Neither faltered, though both knew'that when the end should come one of them would be ruined for life. But still they played on. After the stenographer had gone they sat down idly at the tablc and called for refreshments. They were still diseussing the market, for they were partners, one llving in this eity, tha other in Chicago, when a cry of fire rang through the hotel. They es caped with their lives, not remember ing until too late that on the table lay the record book in whieh were put down every het that they, their fath era and their grandfathers had mada on the long-dealt hands. Their first feeling was one of dismay. Then, aimultaneosly, over each man s faca came a look of relief, of joy. "Hurrah!" they shouted together, and in the open street they fell on GLARED ANORIL.Y AT KAnt OTHER. each other's necks and wept. The rec ords destroyed, how could they con tiuue the game? George Flint telegraphed at once to Tolliver Knruughty, of Kuraughty & Carter, esquires.of Richmond, who soon appeared in the city with a parcel? the two paekages containing the hands over whieh so many thousand bets had been made. Solemnly, as if at the reading of a will, the paekages were opened. F.aeh was marked on I the onter covering with the name of ' it.s hohlcr. "This was my grandfather's," said Oxheart, with a qalver in his voice. *'M> graadfather beM tiiis," said Flint. BOftly, caressingly. The lawyer went on with hia work in silenee. lt was almost like unroll ing a niummy to take olT one by ono the n;an\ enxelopts i ri whieh these haadfl arere wrapped. At last Mr. Ku raVBjhti BtOpped and raad from the envelope eaopeaed ia his hand: "l uo not know whieh of these hands helonged to whieh of those fools. so i have marked this one for Flint. and the other for Oxheart.
