Mary Manners was at war with her
self and with all ; the world. Will
Voight found that this was not a case
where "present company Is excepted."
"No," she said and shook her head so
decidedly: tip t certain rebellious curls
bobbed In her eyes. "No. I don't want
to go to the theater. I want to be
alone and to think. Who could think
in a hot, stuffy theater? We will go
to the park."
He ventured to hint that even his
presence ' might be a bar to the flow
of thought
. "I could not go alone, stupid! It
would not be proper."
"Or interesting."
She flashed him a look, and he sub
sided.
The park looked cold and rather
gloomy, but her sigh of satisfaction
"oh, it's going into the wateb! bate
m 8AYK IT I
was quite ecstatic as she cried, "Oh, I
do love the park!"
"So do I in summer,"
"But now, when the breath of spring
is in the air."
"More winter than spring in this
air," he retorted grimly. "There is a
lot of Ice still in these sheltered walks.
so do let me help you."
But she refused his proffered band
and stepped daintily along. She even
hummed a fragment of a gay dance
tune. Evidently her spirits were ris
ing In proportion as his felL Overhead
the bare branches creaked and sighed.
Underfoot the walk looked treacherous
enough in the fitful glimmer of the
gas lamps.
Now came a bit of incline. She start
ed down recklessly, with a challenging
look at her silent escort. "Let's see
who gets to the bottom first."
But on the instant her foot caught on
a bit of gravel. She swayed and would
have fallen If his readyhand had not
steadied her. The effort, however, de
stroyed his own equilibrium. Down,
down rolled the dignified Mr. Voight to
the bottom of the slide. His high silk
hat rolled even faster; In an exploring
expedition toward the little brook that
ran alongside the path.
The girl clasped her hands tragically.
Oh, it is going into the water! Save
ltl Save ltl" Then she burst out laugh
ing. .
Mr. Voight raised himself stiffly and
went in chase of the hat.'
When he brought It back, she was
still laughing.
"I am glad that I afforded you so
much amusement." His tone was very
freezing. "And I am happy to ten you
that the hat has escaped injury. Your
anxiety about it was quite remarkable.
As for my injuries oh, that is a mat'
ter of no consequence, to you evident
ly." .- -
Her laughter had died away, and she
bent toward Jilm contritely. "Forgive
my laughing! If you could only have
seen how-funny you looked! Another
paroxysm was threatened, but she
steadied her .voice as she caught sight
of his .face. "But you are not hurt,
are you? Just let me brush : you off.
and you will be all right, Will.'
"Will" refused to be placated He
had been laughed at, and 'ridicule
pierces to the Innermost core of a
man's being,
"Don't pretend an Interest you have
just shown conclusively you' do not
feeL I am quite ready to resume our
walk homeward." And he turned and
began to ascend the Incline.
The girl was glad that the friendly
darkness hid . her Involuntary expres
sion of pained surprise. William the
meek, William the long suffering, had
rebelled. She had teased him and
played with him. This, then, was the
last straw.'
Then a wave of indignation flooded
over her. How rude he was, how un
kind 1 She stood still and gazed at the
tall figure hurrying up the slope. How
could be treat her so? She would go
home alone. But the, park was very
dark and silent. A cold tremor seized
her. She was afraid .a
With most undignified haste she hur
ried after and caught up with him,
panting. A glanceathim brought back
her courage. His bearing was any
thing but victorious.
Her tone matched his own as she
said: "I cannot go home alone. We
need not have any further conversa
tion, however, and I won't trouble you
again." - r ,
-Voight winced visibly atr her words.
There were signs' of yielding as he re
plied, "You know that I am always
glad to do thingsifof you." 3 "
Miss Manners laughed bitterly. rAnd
yet you were going to leave me alone
just now. It .wasn't a kind, wasn't a
gentlemanly, thing to do."
His anger flamed up again.' "I could
not endure . your mockery. It simply
showed that I had been mistaken all
along; that you -did not care for me;

After a moment: "What was It to

There was a traitorous tremble in
her voice that gave him courage.
"The right of loving you. Had the

He tried to see her face, but she had

Orison of Old Glory.
In the reminiscences of Lord Eonald
Gower is found a story of the origin of
the stars and stripes.
The "star spangled banner" of the
American republic has its origin from
an old brass en the floor of Brington
church. In Northamptonshire. The
brass covers the tomb of one Robert
Washington and is dated 1622. On it
appears the Washington coat of arms.
consisting of three stars, with bars or
stripes beneath them. On the first day
of the new year," 1776, the thirteen
united colonies raised a standard at
Washington's headquarters.
This introduced the stripes of the
present but retained the crosses of St.
George and St. Andrew on a blue
ground in the corner. In 1777 the cross
es were replaced by stars, as the Dec
laration of Independence rendered the
retention of the English element unnec
essary and inconvenient. In thus adopt
ing the arms of his ancestors as his
own distinctive badge Washington no
doubt intended the flag merely as a
private signal for his own personal fol
lowing, but it was at once adopted as
a national emblem: ' Probably there is
not another case In the world's history
in which the private arms of an ob
scure family have attained such "world
wide eminence and repute.
Intelll arent Robins.
The following incident seems too re
markable ta be true, and yet it is vouch-

not be doubted: Two robins were try
ing to teach their little one to fly. It
attempted to cover too great a distance
and fell to the ground. My little boy
caught it, and I told him to put it on
the roof of our side porch.
Then he and I watched to see what
the old birds would do. They fluttered
about the yard for awhile and then
flew off. We waited for them to re
turn, but they did not, and I had just
made up my mind that they had de
serted the young one when I saw them
coming, accompanied by a third one.
They flew directly to the roof of the
porch, and I saw that one of them bad
a piece of twine in its bill.
And what do you suppose they did
next? If I had not seen it, I never
would have believed it. Two of them,
caught bold of the twine, one at each
end, and the little one 'caught the mid
dle of it in his bilL Then they flew off
the porch, the third robin flying under
the little one and supporting It on his
back. Minneapolis Journal.
