for quality and the style is thrown in.

The Same Stock.
People who knew the Huntley fam
ily, “root and branch.” always said
that there could be only one other per
son in the world as blunt and tactless
as James Huutley, and that was his
cousin William. James lived in New
York and William in Boston. One day
James appeared at William's home just
at dinner time.
“Well, this is a surprise!” said Wil
liam. “You’lT the last person in the
world I should have expected to see
tonight! Cot tired of home?”
“You wouldn’t have seen me if 1
could have got through my business in
time to catch the 3 o'clock train.” said
James. “I tried hard enough.”
The cousins looked cheerfully at each
other and were quite unaware of the
frantic efforts made by Mrs. William
to guide the conversation into a smooth
channel. Seated at last at the dinner
table and attacking the roast beef, tbe
host said:
“If I'd known you were going to
drop in on us this way. without warn
ing. I’d have ordered a better dinuer.”
“Don’t trouble about that,” said
James heartily. '‘lt does well enough,
and next time I'll be sure to let you
know beforehand.”—Youth's Compan
