B. N., retired, sixty-three years old, mar tinet, bachelor, woman hater and va rious other titles, sat at his breakfast In the Army and Navy club. He was thinking of a large sum of money he had won the night before of young Lester Sheldon and that he would use It to run across the "big pond" and see Paris In June. As he was rinsing his fingers In a cut glass bowl, prepar atory to leaving the table, a waiter stepped up to him'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! Isn't a man isafe even In his club?" & "It Isn't usual, sir, but It's an hour |i|hen few members are present, and. She begged bo hard that the steward told the doorkeeper to admit her." The admiral had Just enough cUrlos lty to go to the reception room and learn the reason for the call. He found a very pretty young woman In widow's ca p_ whose eyes were dimmed with tears. "Oh, admiral," she gasped, "tell me, i, ave y 0 u parted with the notes?" "What notes?" "That you won from my brother last night" "Tour brother!" "Yes; Lester—my brother—Lester Sheldon." "What's that to you, madam?" "Oh, admiral, I've heard of your honorable nature and kind heart" "Bosh! Speak out." "My brother is In great distress. I have Just prevented him taking his life. He Is cashier at bis place of busl D ess. Lately he has been gambling, The notes yon won he took from his caa h a t the office. After leaving you |, e h a d one note left and this morning no tlced that It was marked." "For heaven's sake, this. Is a pretty men for me to be mixed up In!" -oh. It's all right If you still have the notes." "i have them:" "How fortunate!" And a relieved gm u e came over the sad face like a flood of sunlight from behind a cloud, W 1U take them and give you my check for them." "But, my dear lady, I didn't win the money from you. I can't take your check. But I will give you the notes." "Now, don't spoil everything. I can only handle Lester by assuring him that the notes have been taken up with my check and only you and 1 and he know of the transaction. It's nothing to me, I assure you. I have an Income of $20,000 a 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 table covered with writing materials, filled a blank check she took from her card case and at the last words handed It to the admiral. "But, my dear madam, consider my position. I, an admiral In the United States navy, to take money from a woman! Suppose It should get out!" "My dear admiral, how Is It lo get out? Will Lester tell? Will I tell? Only you remain." "And you think it best for me to"— "Of course. Now, do let me have the bills. Lester Is suspected jind may have to turn ore[ J^4U!66&tIUB as soon | as he 5pfieara"ht the office. He Is wait ing for me. Do let me go!' 1 ' Xhte was too much for the admiral. He took the notes from his pocketbook and handed them to the lady. She dropped the check Into the same re ceptacle, rubbing her soft hand against his as she did so and looking up with an exuberance of gratitude out of her soft eyes. Then she ran away hur riedly'. "Well, now," remarked the admiral to himself, "If I could find a woman like that I 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." He was in no hurry to deposit the check. Indeed, he was thinking of a bit of self sacrifice he might make that possibly would effect a romance In his old age—a romance that would free him from deperidlng on a club for a home. He fancied himself tearing up the check or burning It, as the lead ing gentleman In a play would do, and a certain lady falling into his own arms. The same evening he was sitting In his club looking over a paper when who should saunter In but Lester 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 ished. "What's the matter?" asked Sheldon, not understanding the surprise. "Don't you want to give me my revenge?" "What's the matter? Didn'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 admiral glared for a moment, then made a dive for bis pocketbook, took out the check, unfol handed it to Sheldon. "Admiral." said the latter, "you've been bunkoed." "Bunkoed! I bunkoed by a woman! I never trusted a woman In my Ilf that Is, before." "You mean you never trusted a good one. Your only case of confidence was In a bad one." Sheldon had talked In his cups of his loss in a promiscuous crowd. SULLIVAN KINO. soon a are to its In so are of be R. ded it and . Invented In the Vnr 1820 by* Penn ■ylvania Doctor. Though the name "bnckboard" la ap plied to thousands of carriages, few people know bow the word came to be used. Back around 1820, says the American Vehicle, la explaining It. when the transportation of goods, wares and merchandise was almost entirely by wagon, a Dr. Buck, who for many years afterward was the military store keeper at Washington, was In charge of military stores en route to army posts in the southwest In east Tennessee much difficulty was experienced by reason of the rough roads, and there were frequent mis haps, mostly from the wagons over turning. Dr. Buck overhauled the outfit and, abandoning the wagon bodies, long boards were set directly on the axles or hung below, and the stores were loaded In such a manner that there were no further delays from break downs. and the stores safely reached their destinations. In special emer gency, too, the load could be shifted or taken off In a hurry. The Idea was probably not new, but Dr. Buck's example was followed, especially when roads were rough, and much hauling was done by the use of wheels, axles and boards only. Now we have the buckboard, both lp carriage and automobile forms, con forming closely to the original Idea, though few suspect the source of It— Ban Francisco Chronicle. a It a | No. re ab In the a for In of soon One Way to Look at It.
