He's tried a nautical career,
An' marched away to war;

Of caps they wore, an' Mien he was
A burglar for a while.
Wo cheered up for a little time
And hoped that he'd succeed.

Was more than he could lead.
And yet, porhaps, he'll get n job

it wan Lo Fontaine, I'he fable-writ?
er, who, In hu tton'a absence during
several yours In pursuit of an educa;
lion, quite forgot lilm. and was noi
reminded of his existence until a
friend arranged a surprise meeting,
snys Youth's Companion.
Tho father was pleased with the
manners and wit of the young man
presented to him, bill failed to recog?
nize him, and as soon as Ihby parted
Iiromptly forgot him again.
Ha Fontaine was a genius ami a
kindly mnn; hut one can hardly ills
sever absent-mindedness of stielt a
.tort from shallowdiearledness. Nev?
ertheless, in the ease of professor?
let us say Jones, who failed to recog?
nise Iiis daughter after a year's Bep
a rut Ion. the bond of a If eel Ion was
both strong and deep.
Mary, his only daughter, married
and went abroad with her husband.
Their return wa,; a week or two 1'3
fore the dale appointed, and owing lo
a Kerles of mlsunderstaudings and er?
rors, the professor was not Informed,
was not at home when they arrived,
and met them first at the 'house of a
neighbor, where they had gone to In
quire at.t him.
A reception was In progress there,
and he arrived some time after thorn,
as a guest, ami Btlll unaware of thole
return. Strolling Into his- friend's li?
brary, away from the crowd, he be?
came aware, as ho was Inspecting the
hooks, of some ladles In conversation
on the other side of the jiortlere, one
of whom displayed an astonishing
amount of knowledge of his own par?
ticular hobby. He was surprised and
delighted.
"There's a lady In Iho next room
you must, positively present me to."
he saitl eagerly to his host, who had
Joined him. "A most Intelligent wom?
an! Sho'n been talking of the pre?
historic, races In a surprisingly dis?
criminating manner. Who Is she?"
"A Mrs. Smith, I believe." replied
tho host, much amused; since ?he
knew who the ladywos. "Come?I will
present you now."
They passed the curtain, and the
professor, who had failed to connect
the name of Mrs. Smith with his
Mnry. overheard his Inquiry and the
reply, and were disposed to keep up
tho Joke. Peering shortsightedly
through his big glasses, which, by his
usual mistake, were his reading glas?
ses when they should have been ob?
ject glasse.i, he did not recognise
Mary when be saw her, and the lather
and daughter actually opened a con?
versation on prehistoric man, and car
rled It on for several minutes before
the strain proved too much.
Then the listeners broke down In:
laughter, and Mary, with a cry that
she could not keep It up any longer. |
caught the bid gentleman round the
neck and kissed him.
''Bless my soul. Mrs. Smith." he
gasped, bewildered. "Why?Mary!"
