“I had an intuition so. but that doesn't matter. This is my treat. You see, Isabel Dory took me to dinner yesterday, so I have enough to take us picnicking today.

Harry Vaw, the funniest of all black face comedians, promises to evoke laughter and applause from all in attendance.

She has so much money she doesn’t know what to do with it all. but folks have Just found It out. She has pretended to he poor for reasons. We re both going because you said you would." “1 would do anything or go any where to please you. little girl," l answered with so much meaning that lolnutlie Hushed and her dear eyes wavered before my gaze. 1 don’t know quite how It happened, but suddenly I had my dream in my arms—my unresisting. perfect, red lipped dream—and I was quite mad with delight. Then presently she cried out that 1 must never let anything come between us. « “ ‘Nor height nor depth nor any other creature,’ ” I said reverently. “‘Nor any other creature,”’ she repeated after me and made me say it every little whife all the rest of that wonderful day. and 1 did not tell her about my fortune after all, though 1 had intended to. When you come to think of it. money Is a sordid thing to discuss when two folks are quaffing nectar and nibbling ambrosia. The next evening I went to the reception and was presented to the lady of riches. It seemed to me that all the room hushed its breath and waited while we two went through what was required of us. It seemed to me that I lived an eon before we were free from the great eye of the room and In some place where there were a splash of water and quiet and heavy perfume of flowers. There in the dim light she stood, slender ns an English laburnum tree, swaying in her yellow silken robes toward me. Her hands, weighted with Jewels, were held out to me. Her mouth that 1 had kissed was smiling at me—was saying: “ ‘Nor any other creature!’ ” I stood there staring at this wonderful new lolanthe. and all I could think of and all I said was: ‘Tinrefootpct came the beggar maid. Before the king Cophetua!” Which, considering the circumstances, could hardly have been more absurd. ' v iolanthe’s laugh rang out; then she came closer to me. and her eyes grew very grave. “Dearest." she whispered. *‘I was too rich to be happy, and so I ran away from everybody and went to work in the studio. 1 wanted to accomplish something. 1 wanted folks to say. ’She Is a great painter.’ not ‘She Is the richest girl In the country.' Then 1 found you, and—and—I didn’t care any more for fame, because 1 wanted something greater, love—your love—and—you said ‘Nor any other creature,' you know you did!" “And meant It. too, my angel!" 1 exclaimed, coming out of my trance and taking her hands in mine. "You shall give me all the money you think 1 need, and I will sit on the throne with you like a good little man." “I am so glad you are going to be sensible!" she said fervently. And then 1 had to explain to her why I was laughing.

A CLEVER RUSE.

:

Th« Way an Ingenious Paris Merchant Saved Cable Tolls. A wealthy merchant in Paris who does an extensive business with Japan was Informed that a prominent firm in Yokohama had failed, hut the name of the firm he could not learn. He could have learned the truth by cabling; hut, to save expense, instead he went to a well known hanker who had reecived the news and requested him to reveal the name of the firm. “That’s a very delicate thing to do,” replied the hanker, "for the news is not official, and if I gave you the name 1 might incur some responsibility.’’ The merchant argued, but In vain, and finally he made this proposition: “1 will give you.” he said, "a list of ten firms in Yokohama, anil 1 will ask you to look through It and then tell me. without mentioning any name, whether or not the name of the firm which has failed appears. In it. Surely you will do that for me?” “Yes,” said the hanker, “for if I do not mention any name 1 cannot he held responsible In any way.” The list was made. The bunker looked through it and as be banded it hack to the merchant said, "The name of tiie merchant who has failed Is there.” “Then I’ve lost heavily,” replied the merchant, “for that is the firm with which I did business." showing him a name on the list. “But how do you know that Is the firm which has failed?" asked the banker in surprise. “Very easily." replied the merchant. “Of the ten names ou tiie list only one is genuine—that of the firm with which I did business. All tiie others are fictitious."

Purity and courage and gentleness and beauty—that was my lolanthe. Mine? Ah, when our May day was over, should I be calling her mine? “Who are you today?” she asked, stopping to fill her lungs with the buoyant air. We had a habit of playing we were other folks when we went on these excursions—childish no doubt, but we were never going to grow old, we said, so it was hesf to he children a long time. "Why, I am King Cophetua," I answered promptly, with it great inflating of my kingly chest and throwing hack of my kingly beat) as we walked ou. “Her arms across her breast she laid; She was more fair than words can say. In robe and cro*n the king slept down To rq^et and greet her on her way." "Who are you today, lolanthe?” "It’s a pretty story,” she mused, not answering my question, "but suppose it were turned around. Suppose that It were Queen Cophetua and the beggar man. Would he be good and let her love him? And would he be willing to sit ou the throne with her?” "Oh. that’s different!" I said. "Of course a man could not take favors from a woman. The beggar man would have to go out into the world and win his fortune. He couldn’t take it from his queen. You know he couldn’t, don’t you, lolanthe?” "No, I don’t know anything about it,” she said a hit crossly. But lolanthe never could stay cross long enough to make it pay, so in a moment she was talking merrily again. Presently we reached the spot we were bound for, a spot of sun and shade and running water and new spring flowers. We ate our "scrumptious” lunch, and then* we sang and talked and had long spells of social silence, and all the while 1 was wondering how I should make her say “yes" if at first she happened to say "no.” "I am going to tell you a pretty story,” she remarked after one of these silences. “It’s a true one too. I am Invited and so are you, and you’ll go, won't you?” “Oh, sure!" I answered recklessly. “Where?” “A recepHon tomorrow evening to meet the richest girl you ever saw.

No Use For a Pessimist. Freddie and his mother were having a thoroughly satisfactory romp when a visitor was announced. As one topic of conversation after another came up it developed that the caller was In an extraordinarily pessimistic frame of mind and expressed her disapproval in no measured terms of everything and everybody under discussion. Tills impartial "knocking" disturbed Freddie’s amiable soul mightily, and he slowly drew nearer and nearer until he finally stood before the lady, with his small face puckered and the corners of his mouth drawn down. She stopped in the midst of an “Oh, a dreadful bore, my dear!" to say: “Why. Freddie, please do unscrew your face. I don’t like to see little boys look like that.” Freddie surveyed her for a moment and then said tronchaqtly, but with au obviously sincere wish for information : “I guess you don't like most anything, do you?"—New York Times.

A Bad Shot. A hot beaded Irishman accidentally insulted an equally hot headed Frenchman, who insisted on fighting a duel with the Hibernian to wipe out the slight. The Irishman suggested that the two of them should each draw a card from a pack, and the one who drew the lowest was to go into an adjoining room and blow his brains out. The Frenchman demurred at first, but finally fell lu with the idea, and the two opponents drew out the cards, one of which was bound to carry death in its wake. The Irishman drew the lowest card, and, with a smile, he charged his revolver and betook himself off to a small anteroom to complete the tragedy. Presently a loud report rang out, and the white faced people ran wildly to the little anteroom, fully expecting to see the irishman a gory corpse. Instead he came coolly along the passage to meet them, and ns they stared wonderingly at him he cried: “Begorra, Oi missed meself!"

Peculiar "Cure Stones." Occupying an isolated position on the moors about five or six miles above Penzance, in Cornwall, a peculiar trio of stones Is to be seen. They are arrange! in a straight line, the two outside ones being four feet high and up right, while the center one is a little lower, but much wider. In the last mentioned there i^ a round hole large enough to admit of a man passing through. This pile is known as the "Men-an tol,” or "holed stome." Popular tradition states that any one crawling through the hole in the center stone will be forever immune from rheumatism and allied complaints. In times gone by the country people used to bring their children to the holed stone and pass them through —Strand Magazine.

STRANGE DISHES. Lion's Flesh, Tiger’s Meat and Baked

Elephant's Foot.

Lion's llesh is said to furnish a very good meal. Tiger meat is not so palatable. for it is tough and sinewy, lu India nevertheless it is esteemed, he cause there is a superstition that it imparls to the enter some of the strength and cunning that characterizes the animal. This notion is not. of course, held by the followers of Brahma and Buddha, whose religion forbids the

eating of llesh.

There appears to be considerable difference of opinion among authorities on the subject as to the merits ot elephant’s flesh us an article of die! By some it is considered a dainty, hut there Is the authority of at least one European against It. Stanley said that he frequently tasted elephant's flesh and that it was more like soft leather and glue than anything else with which he could compare it. Another explorer, however, declares that he cannot Imagine how an animal so coarse and heavy us the elephant could produce such delicate and tender llesh All authorities agree In commending the elephant's foot. Even Stanley admitted that baked elephant's foot was a dish fit for a king It is the greatest delicacy that can he given to u Kaffir. —St. Louis Republic.

Sincerity.

In life sincerity is the sure touchstone of character Tiie good and vul gable man is he who strives to realize day by day his own sincere conceptions of true manhood Thousands are struggling to exhibit what some one else admires to reach the popular standard, to be or appear to bo respectable ami honorable, hut few make It their aim to live thoroughly up to their own individual convictions of what is right and good. Carlyle well says: At all tarns a man who will do faithfully needs to believe firmly if he have to ask at every turn the world's suffrage. If lie cannot dispense witli the world's suffrage and make ids own suffrage serve, he is a poor eye servant, and the work committed to him will be mlsdoue.” A Historic Golfer. The following entries in the accounts of James Graham, marquis of Montrose. when lie was a student at tiie University of St. Andrews are quite in Falstafflun vein: "Item: for two goffe balls, lOsh. "Item: my Lord taking nne drink lu Jhone Gams before he went out ami after he came from the goife, 45sh -hi "Item: to the boy who carried my Lord’s clubs to the field, fish.” With every allowance for change of tariff, tiie most completely refreshed giants of modern gold dwindle into abstemiousness beside that“anedrink.” —London Athenaeum.

. station. She was a diminutive woman ! with a pale face and grizzly gray wavy j hair pulled down in an old fashioned way over her temples. “Your dog, madam?" “Y’es. lie's been missing for weeks. I'm sure lie’s liecn stolen, for he wouldn’t have left me willingly for the world. He's a Scotch terrier, and his name is Tip. He loves me better than any one, and somehow I can’t get along without him.” ‘‘When did you miss him, madam?" "It's three weeks ago last Wednesday. I saw a strange man call to him and pet him. I thought the man had taken a fancy to him — he's such a beauty—but didn't suppose he would steal him. Poor little 'i ip!" Tiie last words were spoken with as mueli tenderness ns if Tip had been a

kidnaped child.

"Is Unit all? Were there no other suspicious circumstances connected with your dog’s disappearance?" “Nothing connected with the dog, hut something happened that night. Burglars entered the house and took the few spoons I had left of my grand-

father’s silver.”

"Have you recovered them?” “No, but I wouldn’t mind that so much if I had Tip. though I’m very poor. I’m afraid they’re not treating him well, and I’m lonesome without

him.”

"H’iu! The man who petted him took him to deprive you of the alarm the dog would give when the house was entered. Burglars won’t enter a house w itbout first gettlug rid of the dog if there is oue." “Do you think so? 1 supposed he admired him. Everybody admires Tip. I Icre’s ids picture.” She drew a photograph from her reticule and handed it to the officer, who Inspected it, muttering to himself, “Ugly enough to lie a prize lighter.” Then to tiie lady, "I fancy they may not have killed your dog, madam"— “Heaven forbid!” she interrupted, raising her hands and her eyes. “They would more likely try to sell him since they could easily get a big price for him. I’m afraid wo can’t do anything for you, madam. If your dog hadn't been stolen to enable (lie thief or thieves to rob your rouse. 1 should advise you to advertise a reward for ids return, stating that no questions would lie asked. But, you see, if they got away with your spoons they wouldn't risk trying to get a reward for the dog. They're not quite such big fools as that. No, ma’am; we can’t find your dog for you, hut if you choose to leave your address if anything turns up we'll let you know.” The old lady went away sorrowful. A week passed when oue morning n policeman called upon her nud said the chief would likv to see her at the station. She went there and saw the same nian behind the desk ns before. “I have word,” he said, “that a suspicious character Is loitering about Arlington, fifty miles up tiie railroad, lie's got a dog with him which he's trying to sell. I’ve phoned them to nr rest him and hold him till we can discover if the dog's yours." ‘T’ll go right away and see,” cried the old indy excitedly. “There's no occasion for that," said the man at the desk. “Just wait a moment.” He took up a telephone receiver, called the police station at Arlington and asked to have the dog brought to the phone. When it was announced the dog was tln-re, the ehief talked in the receiver: "Hello, doggy! Doggy want a bone? Hello, Tip, Tip. Tip!” Then he asked how the dog had taken his call. Tiie reply came that the only recognition lit 1 showed was a slight pricking up his ears at the name Tip. “Now, madam,” said the chief, "you talk to hint." "Tip! Is that you. Tip? Did the naughty man take my little doggie away from me?” For reply there came a series of joyful barks. "Let up,” came a policeman’s voice, “or (!ih dog'll break the machine.” Tiie chief ordered the dog sent down, and tin 1 same afternoon lie was in tils mistress' arms—that is, so long as she could keep him there, for he jumped down and up sml circled about, burking, while tiie old lady sat with joyful tears streaming down her cheeks. It was a few days after this that tiie lady received a note from Hie president of tiie —th National bank staling that if she could find it convenient to call at the bank lie would bo pleased to see lior. He added an invitation for her to bring lier dog. She sent a reply that the dog was not for sale. That afternoon the president called on the

lady.

“There’s no use,” she said, "for you to try to buy Tip. I wouldn’t part with him for all the money in your bank." “Nor would I deprive you of him for twice Hint amount. I have called to tell you that Tip lias been the means of our recovering $100,000 worth of stolen securities. When you called to him over the phone, the man who had him was about to be released. He was held for further investigation and turned out to be one of a gang that robbed our bank six months ago. Here are your spoons, and here is the reward offered for Hie information leadlug to the recovery of our bonds. I give it to you in trust for Tip as long us he lives, though you are to spend the Income and have the principal at his death.” Tli) and his mistress are living la luxury. MABEL D. HENDRICS.
