MODERN FABLES
BY GEORGE ADE.
(Copyright, 1900, by Robert Howard
Bumull.
Once there was a cold-blooded Tourist
who tied been Everywhere and seen

with Foreign I.ihela.
He knew snore about the Old World
Ilian does the Wise Herman who wrtle*
the Baedeker Guide-Hooka and can tell
you the Price of Schnllxel at the moat
remote Ilostlery In the Duchy of Hrat

He had seen so many Sight* that now
nothin* eoukt Move him Everything un
der the Shining Canopy had become Dull
and ordinary. He waa a Track-Hero Ter
lormer. who had overlooked nothin* ex
cept the North and Booth l’oles and a few
Whlstllng-Post* on the Jerk-Water Divi
sion of sha Fremont awl Elkhorn.
When ilita Case-Hardened Traveler
came back to the Inland Town In which
hls Family had been set up as Ihe Ba<Ved
White Cow for several Generations. It
was not because the Bur* appealed to
him. but because he had Done tho World
so Thoroughly that alt Towns looked
alike to him. It woolil be a case of Veg
■tatlng whether ha squatted in Vienna or
Council Bluffs.
For he had run the Gamut of Kxclte
ment and was as Oaliotmed a Bteve
dore. What he bad Been Throu*h would
make a Jules Verne Narrative sound like
one of the Ell Books written for the cul
tured little Girls of Cambrld*o, Mass.
He had been mixed up In so many Stir

between him and Roosevelt.
Ha had fought Bulb* In Seville and hunt

wrecked In the Bouih Bea* and escaped

Waat Rtvar Pirates had given him the
Run In Chino. H* hod Stopped a Grlssly
Bear In the Rookie- ami Perforated tho
Rustlers lit Wyoming and put the Black
Shroud on the Wheel at Slome Carlo and
broken Window Glass at Port Hatd
And now he returned to Ms Old Home,
that had no Attraction* except a Free
Reading Room and a Basket Ball Team.
He felt that ke hat Played hht String
and gone hls Length. He was what one
might term Blase*, although It Is not hatd
to be That In a town which pronounce*
It Btaxe.
He seldom came off of the HUfh Hors*
or Ist down from the Puma. Ha did not
THE EVE OF CHRISTMAS.
Cotton to the Humble Joys of M 'ldle
Class Americana, it was a Matter of l*rid<
with him that hls Pulse never Jiggled
and hi* Temperament never soooled up
to Fever licit. Any Show of Emotion
was regiarded ws Vulgar.
When the whole Country w.is having Its
Quadrennial Epileptic Convulsion, known
as the National Cam|algn, he did not so
much as rememlier the Names of the
Candidates.
He wets lo an Arena to see a Cham
ptonshtp Battle beiween Iwo Grand Idt
lle Boys who did 133 at the Ringside. It
was a Twenty Round Quarrel, full of
Gore and Knock-!towns, but It never gave
him a Tingle. While the Saloon Men were
shrieking to the Participants to Real hls
Block off and Jam him In the Kisser the
yudid Traveller ant and read a Utile
Book of Sonnets that he had Picked I'p
In london. After the Kid had been car
ried out of the King, looking like a Ham
burger Bleak, tha Globe-Trotter looked
up Wearily ami asked what the Score
was It was the same as Cricket lo him.
Even at a Foot Ball Game he was
Calm as a Graven Image. He never But
ted an Eye when the Peerless Half-Back
went down the Field like a forked Flash
of Lightning, leaving the Gridiron strewn
with writhing Giants who were sure to

He was undoubtedly the Champion Wet
