HE COULDWT FORGET HIM.

The patron looked like a generous man, and after the waiter had served the order he hovered about the table.

The waiter said, “All right, sah.” and moved to the other side of the table When the steak had been tried, he venlured— ~|j> x “ Rare enough, sar ?’’

* f It will do.” There utes another pause,and then the waiter asked—

“ Potatoes cooked right, sah?'* The patron beckoned for him to come nearer.

“ When I came in here,” he said, “ I supposed everything would be all right,” “ Yes, sah.”

I took it for granted, and ordered o* that theory.” “ Of cou’se, sah.”

“ And if there is anything wrong, I might say confidenially that there tl in excellent way to find it out.”

“Yes. sah.”

“Yes, you just keep within earshot and say nothing, and it there is anythin# wrong I’ll talk. I can do it. And ttof tip—.” “Yes, sah.”

“ You needn’t keep working for it. I don’t need to be reminded that you’re the man who waited on me. I never can forget a noisy waiter, and I alway* * remember ’ a still one." He was not disturbed again.
