T.nnfrWnnfrmT, n Inner ilpmrn ropprifl kw i" nntahA w! easel, 1 saw Iolanthe beaming at me from the doorway. "Come on!" she cried. "Put up your work and come with me inix the coun try. I believe you don't even know it i Is May day. Don't you remember 'the J month of May, when the air is so full of sweetness and love that even one ! shaving l-egins to feel an affection for j another shaving?' Come, let us a May-1 lag go." "I can't." I answered. "I'm up . against it. - I'm crowded to the wall. ; I'm broke." ; Iolanthe laughed the sweetest sound i la this wise old world. --- -j doesn't matter. This is my treat. You Fee, Isabel Dory took me to dinner yes - torday, so I have enough to take us pic nicking today. Come, brave knight, put on thy helmet and hasten." I hastened. No one could resist Io lanthe. I took her little covered bas ket, and we went along the hall and down the stairs, with mock-doleful messages following us from our fellow workers, who were not going out into the blosoming Way day world. "WThat car are we going to take?" I asked as we reached the street. Iolanthe blushed deliciously. "We are not going to take a car. You see. I got i so interested in buying a 'scrum pti our,' lunch that I forgot about the car, and" "I see," I said gravely. "And you don't know how g!ad I am that we are to walk. It is so much healthier. Then we won't have to mingle with the plebeians on a common car. When rich aristocrats like us" Iolanthe frlanced up at me rather sharply, I thought. It couldn't be that she knew of course she couldn't know. No one knew but my uncle's lawyer and myself, and maybe my uncle. I wondered if my uncle did know iu that unknown country he had lately entered. By and by I should tell Iolan the that, when the preliminaries were over, I should have; enough money to buy her everything she wanted, even if on this blithe day I had not a pen- WE ATE OUIt "SCBUSIPTIOUS"' LUNCH uy, and all due to a never known rich old uncle, now dead. But Iolanthe v as proud, so first I would win her prom ise win it while she believed me poor as herself. rurity and courage and gentleness and beauty that was my Iolanthe. ?.;ine? Ah. when our May day was over, should I be calling her mine? "Who are you today ':" she ask;d, stopping to ill! Ler lnugs with th buoyant air. We had a habit of playing we were other folks when we went on these ex cursions childish uo doubt, but we were never going to grow old, we said, so it Avas best to be children a long time. "Why. I am King Cophetua," I an swered prompt-y, v.Uh a great incit ing of my kingly chest and throwing back of my kindly head as we walk ed on. "Her arms across her breast she laid; She was more fair than words can gay. In robe and crown the king stept down To meet and greet her on her way." "Who are ycu today, Iolanthe?" "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 beg gar man. Would he be good and let her love him? And would he be bill ing to sit on the throne with her?" "Oh, that's different!" I said. "Of course a man couju not taKe lavors from a woman. The beggar man ! would have to go out into the world to the little anteroom, fully expecting and win his fortune. He couldn't take ! to see the Irishman a gory corpse. In it from his queen. You know he stead he came coolly along the passage couldn't, don't you, Iolanthe?" j to meet them, and as they stared won- "No, I don't know anything about deringly at him he cried: it," she said a bit crossly. But Iolanthe ; "Begorra, Oi missed meseif !" never could stay cross long enough to i make it pay, so in a moment sht 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 "scrump tious" lunch, and then we sang and talked and had long spells of social ; Eilence, and a'l the while I was won-' derlng how I should make her sayj "yes" If at first she happened to say j "no." i T am going to tell you a pretty ' Story," she remarked after one of there silences. "It's a true one too. I am invited and so are you. and you'll go. won't you ?" "Oh. sure!" 1 answered recklessly. "Where?" "A reception tomorrow evening to meet the richest girl you ever eaw. T1 SV y jj.T'tJWjfTv She has so much money sue ooesn't know what to do with it all. but folks have jest founa it out. She has pre tended to be poor for reasons. We're both going because you said you ' would." i ' "I would do anything or go any where to please you. little girl." 1 answered with so much meaning that ' Iolanthe flushed and her dear eyes i wavered before my gaze. 1 don't know ! 1Ult bOW it happened, but SUddeiUJ I bad my dream in my arms-my unre-; sisting. perfect, red lipped dreamand I was quite mad with delight. Then presently she cried out that I must never let anything come between us. " 'Nor height nor depth nor any other creature,' " I said reverently. " 'Nor any other creature,' " she re peated after me and made me say it every little while all the rest of that wonderful day, and I did not tell her about my fortune after all. though I 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. ' . "Tlie nest evening I went to the re ception and. was presented to the lady ! of ricbfs- " seemed to me that all the room uusueu us ureuiii aiiu wuii:u 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 as 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 I had kissed was smiling at me was saying: "'Nor any other creature!"' I stood there staring at this wonder ful new Iolanthe. and all I could think of and all I said was: "Barefooted came the beggar maid. Before the king Cophetua!" Which, considering the circum stances, could hardly have been more absurd. 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. I wanted to accomplish something. I wanted folks to say, 'She is a great painter,' not 'She is the rich est girl in the country.' Then I found you, and and I didn't care any more for fame, because I wanted something greater, ibve your love and yon said 'Nor any other creature,' you know you did!" "And meant it, too, my angel!" I ex claimed, coming out of my trance and taking her hands in mine. "You shall give me all the money you think I 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 I had to explain to her why I was laughing. No Use For a Pessimist. Freddie and his mother, were having a thoroughly satisfactory romp when a visitor was announced. As one top ic 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. This impartial "knocking" disturbed Freddie's amiable soul mightily, and he slowly drew nearer and nearer un til 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 trenchantly, but w7ith an obviously sincere wish for informa tion : "I guess you don't like most any thing, do you?" New York Times. A Bad Shot. A hot headed Irishman accidentally insulted an equally hot headed French man, 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 ad joining room and blow his brains out The Frenchman demurred at first, but finally fell in 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 low est card, and, with a smile, he charged his revolver and betook himself off to a small anteroom to complete the trag fr!v Prpspnflv n lond renort ransr out. and the white faced people ran wildly 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 ar ranged in a straight line, the two out side ones being four feet high and up right, while the center one i3 a little lower, but much wider. In the last mentioned there is a round hole large enough to admit of a man passing through. This pile is known as the "Men-an-tol," or "holed stone." Popu lar tradition states that any one crawl ing through the bole in the center stone will be forever immune from rheuma- tism 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. HIS FIRST THOUGHT. President McKinlcy's Devotion to Hi Invalid Wife. In the early days of the Spanish war Mr. McKiuley and Mark Hanua were engs ged in a close an d serious evening conference in the president's room. The time ran along to the hour of 0. Suddenly those busy in the outer room saw President McKinley rise and leave the apartment, saying. "Wait a few mo ments, Mark." He was gone about twenty minute?. In the meantime Sen ator Ilanna walked lcstlessly between t.o two rooms, rpeaking a wcrd or two to the secretaries and showing plainly that he shared with the president a feeling of deep anxiety as to the out come of the military proceedings. He remarked on the fact of great shortage of supplies and from his words and tearing revealed to the assembled few i:i that outer loom th;s.i the president and hi3 clcscr-'.t advisers were lying awake nights and working to make up for the deficiencies of the military situ ation.;. When the. president returned he nnd, Tenntor Ilanna resumed" their anxious consultation. Then t'ae president's sec rotary remarked to one w ho was near him: "I suppose you wonder why Presi dent McKinley got up so suddenly and left without a word to any one. You saw how anxious he was about the military situation. Even that would not cause hi:ii to break away from what has come to be the custom of his early evening. "About the same time every night, when he hears a signal from the other side, he knows that Mrs. McKinley is . ready to retire and wishes to see him. No matter how busy he may be nor how deeply engaged in any subject, he invariably drops everything on the in stant and goes to their own apart ments. There he sits by the bedside and reads a chapter in the Bible to Mrs. McKinley. Then he waits a few moments until she is quiet, tiptoes back to the door, ccmes over here to the of fice and without a word takes up the thread of his work and keeps it up un til toward midnight" Chicago Tribune. FLEET ANIMALS. The Wonderful Speed Developed by the Greyhound. Representations of the greyhound ap pear upon sculptures over 3,000 years old. There is no doubt that it is one of the very oldest fixed types of dog and the most universal in its distribu tion. India, Arabia, Persia, are among the countries that for ages past had the greyhound. Lately there was ex hibited in England a greyhound from Afghanistan a shaggy form suited to that mountain land. Of course these dogs are not all exactly greyhounds in the western sense, but they, are essen tially the same in type; they are "gaze hounds." long legged, light built dogs, bred to run their game by sight and not by scent and to overtake it not by wearing it down, but by sheer speed and skill of running. How this type was evolved affords much interesting speculation. "A greyhound is probably the fastest creature that moves upon the earth," says a breeder of those animals. "It is on record that a greyhound beat the famous race horse Flj'ing Childers. An absolute trial between horse and grey hound is difficult to bring off, because, while the horse can be ridden at top speed, it is impossible to insure that the greyhound will run 'all he can.' But a dog that can start, say, fifty yards behind a hare and overtake it within another fifty, and this is about what a greyhound does, must surely be faster than anything else that lives or has his parallel only among the birds." The same writer saj-s of greyhound coursing: "One used to hear tbat it was a 'pothouse,' not a 'gentleman's sport But I have heard men who fol low both declare that they prefer coursing to racing, and I can quite un derstand it. In coursing there is the absolute certainty that all is above suspicion of anything 'shady.' Every time a dog is run he-is honestly run to win or divide the stakes. You can not 'pull' a greyhound." Chicago News. The New Cook's Way. A new cook was in the kitden, and the mistress was trying to be pleased with the way she served dinner. The salad was especially un appetizing, with large, coarse green lettuce leaves instead of the crisp, white little hearts the family was accustomed to. "What did you do to the lettuce?" mildly inquired the lady of the house after dinner. "Sure, I washed It all good," replied the new cook. "But the small white part?" persist ed the mistress. "Oh, the core, ye mean. I threw It away, of course." New York Press. Hsppy Tears. A good cry is a solace to many wo men. It stejuiies the nerves and. add ed to a cup of tea and an interesting story, forms their idea of supreme hap piness. ArLsirg from the perusal of their books with red eyes, swelled fea tures and a sopping pocket handker chief, they feel tht'it time has not been wasted. Lady Violet Greville in Lon don Chronicle.
