up "and,” says Hie narrator of the
story, “there we were in full View of
the house.
“Glancing over his shoulder at me.
Sir Archibald exclaimed:
“‘Good gracious! What shall we
do?”
“‘Keep still!' 1 said; ‘don’t move,
and the audience will think that we
* are supers.’
‘lie did as i suggested, and the
audience did as I expected.”

Shortly 'before the war broke out he
was painting by the roadside.- An
elderly rustic, who had been standing
Jt watching him for some time at length
approached him.
"No offense ,sir,” he began, “but is
j anythin’ tlie matter wi yer?”
“No," answered the artist. "What
makes you ask?”
"Yer haln't I'aine, are'yerV"
"Lome! Good gracious, no.”

"Oh, no, you can't,” came promptly
from tlie butler, who added, apologet
ically, “if I let the master give away
all he wants to we should’t have any
thing left.” •
