THE MYSTERY.
BY BERTON BRALEY,
He married her because she dressed
In dainty fashion,
And thue aroused within his broast
The gentle passion;
She was ao fresh, so frig and smart
That looking at her
Was quite enough to make his heart
Go pittor patter.
•
She married him because he seemed
As neat as could be.
His clothes were smart, bie linen gleamed,
And, as it should be,
His face was shaved with skill adept.
He charmed her greatly,
A stylish chap whose garb was kept
Immaculately.
But when the honeymoon was o'er
She grew a slattern,
The dowdy negligee she wore Was bad in pattero;
While he who won her heart with his
Bartorial splendors,
Wore sloven shirts, uushaven phiz,
Aut soiled suspenders.
・
To lawyers now the pair apply.
To be unmated.
And overbody wonders why
They separated!
It is reported that some of the coolies were even killed, but it is at any rate known for a fact that two had their heads split open by rifle butts. The police appear to have made no attempt to interfere.
A PUZZLE À DAY.

A
The dial of the grandfather's clock shown above has letters on it instead of numbers. There are 11 letters and a star. Start count-} ing from the proper point, and count a certain number around the circle. Check" off the letter, and count the same number to another letter. Continue thas, and, if you have chosen the proper point and the proper interval, you will find the 11 letters form a word.
Yesterday's Answer:
A certain number is as many less than 50 as four. times the number is above 50. The number is 20. Twenty: la 30 less than 50, while four times 20 (namely, 80), is 30 above 50.
