A LATE ARRIVAL

with a charming frown.
Barbara Is really very pretty. That
one of the reasons why I cultivate her
society. There are others equally forcible;
one of which Is. we are, by the way. en
gaged. This Is, however, a secret between
ourselves, as Lady Alicia t'umlieriMteh.

hand.
"I can Imagine nothing more serious than

my hand roaiprelienslvely In the direction
of the water.
Barbara hesitated. Itainly
tempted.
“It's so quiet." I urged. "Bo peaceful!
(Ian* you ever tried quarreling on the

..itlifll, n ut ruining! You can not have re-
course to pcraoitaT violence without endan
gering your own safety. Consequently, one
never exceeds the limits of parliamentary
del Mites."
Barbara graciously permitted me to help
her to rise.
When she had readjusted her fast, and
said that she would never speak to uie
lignin, she asked me If she looked “nil
right:" I explained, In carefully chosen
language, that sucli a term was quite In
adequate to express the potentialities of
her appearance, lint I hoped to convey It
suitably on a future occasion. Finally we
took our lK*at. and In a few minutes were
gliding over tin* surface of the placid lake.
“We have the water all to ourselves

few moments of delicious reverie.

REMARKABLE MAN EATS FIVE
HUNDRED POUNDS OF GLASS.
From The San Franciaco Chronicle.
Nobodv knows his name, yet every
body In Kennewick, Wash., 1a acquaint
ed with him. "Irlah Tim" la the name
by which he answers when asked to
have a‘drink; but there are few bar
tenders in Kennewick who will now
consent to serve him unless a chain
Is first fastened to the glas.a tor Tim
has a penchnnt for eating such delica
cies ns beer bottles, tumblers and other
glassy receptacles In which the In
ebriating beverages are dispensed.'
Tim Is a stalwart fellow, and a veri
table giant, 6 feet 5 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 bual-
neas 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 a circus, and he at
tributes his marvelous strength to the
fact that he has eaten glass ever slnc^
a small hoy In Ireland.
When Irish Tlni made hla appearance
In Kennewick he caused the natives
to Imagine suddenly thnt they had all
gone craxy, and were ’’seeln' things."
The first extraordinary thing the big
fellow did was to go Into a grocery
store and purchase a half dozen glass
tumblers. Then he strolled leisurely
out to the curb of the plank sidewalk,
eat down, opened up the bundle, and
proceeded to devour the glasses much
as a schoolboy devours ’his noonday
lunch. A goml-slxed crowd had soon
accumulated, and. of course, everybody
thought at first that he was working
off a little of Hermann legerdemain.
But Tim sat there as Indifferent to
their gaxe nml crltcfsms as on as
tronomer to the maneuvers of an nnt
colony. When he had devoured the
last of the six tumblers he arose slow
ly, smacked his lips, looked around to
see that he had left no scraps and
sauntered into a nearby saloon In
search of a "chaser." Of course..the
bartender wouldn't accept payment
foom a man who could draw such a*
large crowd aa Tim had done, so. the
big fellow got his drink for nothing, i
But when the fellow behind the bar |
cast his eye around for the whisky
glass, It had followed the chaser. Tim j
was cracking up the last bit of It be- {
tween hla teeth, nnd a wallowing It In
morsels thnt were evidently sweet.
“That's the kind of glass." said Tim. I
that makes me think of home. Over :
In the grocery store, there, all they had :
was them big tumbler*. Sure, and
they're a bit hard on your gums. but. I
then. I've eaten so much glass that I!
seldom cut myself." he added, smiling.
"You see. | started In when 1 was Just
a sprawlin' brat over In the old coun
try. I used to steal my mother's Jelly
and Jam. and then eat up the glasses
to make her think somebody had
stolen the whole business.
•Yes, I guess that’s the way I got
the habit. I recollect, when a kid,
one o’ the boys bet me a piece of money
l couldn't eat 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. Strange 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. So, after a while, I ate an-
