"that she Is
much as"—
Barbara turned her head and surveyed
me with n cold, fixed stare.
"As much as—the deserves," 1 concluded,
with admirable adroitness.
I thought I detected a transient glimpse
of the dimples, which I rank high among
Barba;a't choicest gifts. But 1 aouldn’t
lie certain. One can't be too uncertain
with women. It’a the only safeguard a
poor man possesses against the wiles of the
sex. >
"If I might dare to suggest such a thing,
there’s the lake. Also I know where, hr a
curious chance, a skiff lies hidden, like
Moses In the bulrushes. Msy"— I waved
mv baml comptehcnslvely In the direction
of the water.
Barbara hesitated. Ilatnly abe waa
tempted.
"It's so quiet," I urged. "Bo peaceful!
Have yon ever tried quarreling on tha
wafer? It's a charming relaxation, and,
withal, restraining! You ran not have ro-
course t»> itersonnl violence without endan
gering your own safety. Consequently, oue
never exceeds the limits of parliamentary
debates."
Barbara graciously permitted me to help
her to rise.
When she had readjusted her hat. and
said that she would never speak to raa
itgiiln. she asked uie If she looked "all
right." I explained, In carefully chosen
language, that such a term was quite In
adequate to expreaa the potentialities of
her np|H*arance. hut I hoped to convey It
etilfably on a future occasion. Finally we
took our botit. and In a few minutes were
gilding over the surface of the placid Inke.
"We have the water all to ourselves
this afternoon." Bnrlsira observed, after a
few moments of delicious reverts.
"Now. I 4*01110 to think of It." 1 said,
pensively, "there Is only one Irast."
"Ilow 4-icver of your to find It, then. In

liow they quarreled on every conceivable

REMARKABLE MAN EATS FIVE
HUNDRED POUNDS OF GLASS.
From The flan Francisco Chronicle.
Nobody known his name, yet every
body In Kennewick, Wafih., la acquaint
ed with him. "Irish Tim" Is the name
by which he annwera when asked to
have a drink; but there are few bar
tenders In Kennewick who will now
consent to servo him unless a chain
la Brat fastened to the glan.a for Tim
hnn a penchant for eating such delica
cies nn beer bottles, tumbler* and other
gianny receptacle* In which the In
ebriating beverages are dispensed.
Tltn la a stalwart fellow, and a veri
table giant, 6 feet 6 Inches tall, heavy
In proportion, with great, broad, pow
erful shoulders that look as though
they could furnish a force sufficient to
put several Jim Jeffries out of busi
ness without the least exertion.
Tim only wears a No. 14 shoe, spe
cially made to order, and has a hand
big enough to cover an ordinary saucer.
He Is perhaps the strongest man In
the West outside of n circus, nnd he at
tributes hi* marvelous strength to the i
fact thut he ha* eaten gloss ever since
a small boy In Ireland.
When Irish Tim made his appearance
In Kennewick he caused the natives
to Imnglne suddenly that they had all
gone entsy, and were "seeln' things."
The first extraordinary thing the big
fellmv did was to go into a grocery
store nnd purchase a half dogen glass
tumbler*. Then he strolled leisurely
out to the curb of the nlnnlc sidewalk,
sat down, opened up the bundle, nnd
proceeded to devour the glasses much
ns a schoolboy devours his noonday
lunch. A good-sized crowd had soon
accumulated, and. of course, everybody
thought at first that he was working
off h little of Hermann legerdemain.
Hut Tim sat there as Indifferent to
their gnxe and crltclsms as an as- .
tronoiner to the maneuvers of an nnt !
colony. When he had devoured the'
last of the six tumblers he nrns* slow- j
ly, smacked his lips, looked around to !
see that he had left no scrap* and |
sauntered Into a nearby saloon In
search of u "chaser." Of course, the
Imrtender wouldn’t accept payment I
from a man who could draw such n
large crowd as Tim had done, so the
big fellow got his drink for nothing. '
But when the fellow behind the bar !
cast his eye around for the whlsky
glass, It had followed the chaser. Tltn
waa cracking up the last bit of It be
tween Ills teeth, nnd swallowing It In
morsels that were evidently sweet.
"That’s the l;lnd of glass." said Tim.
"that makes me think of home. Over
In the grocery store, there, all they had
was them big tumblers. Sure, and
they’re a bit hard on your gums. but.
then, I’ve eaten so much glass that I f
seldom cut myself." he added, smiling. I
’•Y4H1 sec. I started In when I was Just '
a sprawlin’ brat over In the old coun- I
try. I used to steal my mother’s Jelly j
and Jam. nnd then eat up the glasses I
to make her think somebody had'
stolen the whole business.
"Yes, I guess that's the way I got
the hnblt. I recollect, when a kid,
ant o’ the boys bet me it piece of money
I couldn't eot a chunk o* glass, so I bet
him on It. I ate a very small piece,
and chewed It up carefully. Glass Is
not hard stuff, and Is easily ground
between the teeth If one la not afraid
of it. Well, I won that bet. anyway,
and for twenty-four hours awaited the
results anxiously, fltrnnge as it may
sound to some of you fellows, I had a
ravenous appetite the next day, and
found myself anxious to repeat the ex
periment. 8o, after a whUe, 1 ate an-
