AS Bunt OF TSIIKOH.
When ho had been there one week
the boarding-house keeper said he
was one of t lie nicest, quietest young
men she had ever had in her house.
He had no complaints to make at
the table, and he left his room so
i slick and clean that the clt:.m--i r
nmid had suspicions that he was a
woman in dir guise.
At the end of the month, rather
than have him go, the landlady
would have agreed to pnroh&so por
terhou re steak once a week, and to
"V ma’n his room
, ,_f a Tbn
asm received a set-back. One of
the borrders came down stairs and
rtnnrt^l reported taat +W he b» had bed heard heard gr
sad sums and curses from tne quiet
boarder's room. Three or four por
sons tipped up to the room door,
. and after a bit thoy plainly caught
I his Verdi;:
L “Ouch! Hang it! Co’i-lcnm ii te
PlLdif.-is, but it’s killing r .:0 by
inches!”
Then it wae realized that the quiet
man had some great sorrow 011 his
m id, and it was suspected that lie
was contemplating suicide.
“Ooh!” ho called out, “great hoav

“Mr. Smith!” she continued,
