eon oj itora. Montague, ts more
interested in love than fighting,
Capulet has a daughter, Juliet,
but no ton; he therefore appoints
hie nephew Tybalt as matter of
hie soldiers. The Count of Parte
asks Julie fs hand in marriage
and her father celebrates with a
feast. Through the stupidity of a
servant, Romeo receives an in
vitation. Ee learns that Rosaline,
the taay with whom he fancies
himself in love, is to attend. He
determines to go to the feast to
be near her. Hie cousin Benvollo
and Mereutio, their friend, go
with him. Bis first glimpse of
Juliet makes Romeo forget Rosa-,
ne completely; ana Juliet is
likewise smitten with love for
him at first glance. Both wonder
who the other is, neither suspect
ing that they are the son and ,
daughter of the warring Monta
gues and Capulets.

guests, doubled hla plena against

his cousin that
since follow
Juliet he must,
it was best to
wait until the
signal for the next dance.
Romeo's patience was at last re
warded. The musicians sounded the
opening strains of the Passacaglia,
that dance of romantic gallantry so
perfect for lovers! He hurried down
the stairs, brushing aside any who
would claim Juliet for a partner.
The Passacaglia! 'What good for
tune to have this dance with Juliet!
" floor, strutting and turning with
mamincent sweeping; gesture. She
rose and sank in tha folds of her
' skirt Now hand touched hand and
foot approached foot as their bodies
turned toward and away from each
other, their heads Inclining.
Deftly he directed their move
ments toward the door leading out
to the beautiful terrace. The next
figure in the dance took them
through the door.
They stood silent for a moment
looking out into the night. Juliet
turned as if to rejoin the dancers,
but Romeo smilingly took her hand
In his.
"If I profane with my un wort blest
hand this holy shrine," he murmur
ed, "the gentle fine is this my lips.
Two blushing pilgrims who ready
stand to smooth that rough touch
with a tender kiss.''
"Good pilgrim," she replied,
"Saints have hands the pilgrims'
hands to touch."
"Have not saints lips?" he asked
softly.
"Ay," she answered, demurely
"Hps they use in prayer."
"Oh, then, dear Saint," he cried,
"let lips do what hands do they
pray; grant thou" he drew her to
him.
"Saints do not move," she pro
tested. "Then move not!" he exclaimed.
"My prayer's effect I shall take."
And so saying, he kissed her. "Thus,
from my lips, by thine, my sin is
purged.
Juliet's eyes grew luminous.
"Then have my lips the sin that
they have took, she murmured.
"Sin from my lips?" he answered.
"O. give back to me my sin."
And folding her in his arms he
kissed her again and thrilled to her
answering embrace.
The voice of Juliet's nurse broke
the spelL
"Madame!"
The two parted hastily.
"Madame," cried tha nurse, "your
mother craves a word with you."
Juliet threw htm a last, longing
look and hurried from the terrace.
Romeo stopped tha nurse who
would have followed her.
"What 1 her mother?" ha asked.
"Marry, good bachelor," tha nurse
replied with asperity, "her mother

Lord Capulet aoothed him with a
fatherly pat "Let him alone," ha
aaid. 'I would not for the wealth
of all this town, here, in my house,
do him disparagement Be patient
Take no note of him."
A page ran toward them bearing
a rapier. Tybalt Beized the weapon
fiercely. "I'll not endure him," he
muttered.
The elder man's face reddened
with anger. "He shall be endured,"
he commanded. "I say he shall."
Tybalt glared defiantly.
"What!,r shouted Caoulet "Am I
the master here or you? I say he
shall be endured . . . you'll not en
dure him!" His voice rose in amaze
ment. Dared Tybalt question his
authority?
Tybalt controlled his wrath at the
reprimand "I will withdraw," he
said coldly.
He planted the point of his rapier
against the floor and sorane the
blade Into a curve, releasing it so
that it flew of its own accord Into
the waiting hand of his page.
The gesture was not lost on Ben
vollo. He grasped Romeo's arm and
hurried him off.
At the grand stairs, Lady Capulet
and Juliet were bidding farewell to
departing guests. As Juliet saw
Romeo and Benvollo pass she beck
oned to her nurse. She pointed to
a man approaching.
"What man is that?" she asked.
"The son and heir of old Tlberio,"
answered the nurse.
Juliet motioned toward Romeo.
"And he that follows there?" she
questioned Idly.
The nurse shook her head. "I
know not"

Go ask bis

Juliet. She
watched the
nurse stop him.
speak, and then turn away quickly,
her face a mixture of confusion
and astonishment.
Juliet eagerly awaited the answer.
"His name," whispered her nurse,
"is Romeo and a Montague the
son of your great enemy."
The girl's hand fluttered to her
heart T'My only love sprung from
my only hate," aha murmured.
"What's this, what's this?" de
manded her nurse.
Juliet smiled to throw her off
guard.
"A rhyme I learned of one 1
danced with," aha answered evas
ively, and with her hand still press
ing her heart, made slowly for her
sleeping room.
Meanwhile Romeo, Mereutio and
Benvollo walked down the street
leading from the Capulet estate.
The latter two talked merrily of
the evening, and so engrossed were
they In their conversation they did
not perceive Romeo's manoeuvre to
fall behind, nor miss him when he
darted back to tha garden.
He ran lightly to make no noise;
with ease he scaled the high walls
and slipped to the ground on the
other tide. He looked about cau
tiously for some movement on the
part of the armed men gu&ruing
the place, and then slowly and care
fully stole along; the base of the
wall. He stopped short as Benvo
lio's voice sounded from the street.
"Where Is he, my cousin Romeo!"
he heard Benvollo exclaim.
"He is wise," laughed Mereutio.
"On my life, he hath stolen him
home to bed."
"Call him, good Mereutio," said
Benvollo anxiously.
"Call him? I'll conjure him, too."
In mock solemnity his voice Intoned
a prayer: "Romeo! Humours! Mad
man! Passion! Lover) Appear
thou!" He paused, and then In a
voice of sadness "He hearest not
The ape is dead."
"Come," Interrupted Benvollo Im
patiently. "He hath hid himself
among the trees. Blind is his lova
and best befits the dark." '
Romeo waited until their foot
steps faded into the night Tha

was still and he arose to accustom
his eyes to the dark. In which di

COLORED COUPLE ANNOUNCE
DAUGHTER'S MARRIAGE
Walter D. Simpson and Allie B.
Simpson, highly respected colored
couple of Hertford, announce the
marriage of their daughter, Julia B.
Simpson, to Roosevelt Davis, form
erly of Rich Square, now of Newark,

Church in Hertford.
The couple are making their home

Man does not see by eyes alone.
If it were not for the center of
vision at the back of the brain, our
eyes would be of no use to us, says
an authority in Literary Digest.
The brain has a complex job. Fol
lowing immutable laws of optics,,
the eyes throw am Jnwerwnrnsge

ond floor. Also, each eye produces
its own image and it is the task of
the brain to fuse the two into one.
There is no image on the retina,
in the sense of a reflection in a
mirror, for the retina is merely a
nerve network capable of transmit
ting light sensations over the optic
nerve to the brain.
The Spatula te Hand
The Spatulate hand is a crooked,
irregular kind of hand with fingers,
which spread at the tips into pads
or knobs rather like the nose on an
engineer's hammer. This shows one
to be the active, nervous kind of
person with a prodigious capacity
for work, into which you fling your
self whole-heartedly. Emotional and
demonstrative, asserts a writer in
Pearson's London Weekly; Maga
zine, you are bound only by the
rules and conventions which you,
yourself, choose to make. Inventive-,
original and frequently brilliant,
you are apt to live on your "nerves"
and (if your wrist is narrow) should
guard against over-straining your
self and also against over-impulsiveness.
X ,
"Chaffing"
In some English counties, when a
man has been guilty of inflicting
personal chastisement upon his
wife, it is customary for neighbors
to empty a sack or two of chaff in
front of the offender's door to sig
nify that a "thrashing" has been
done there. This is called "chaf
fing." The general term may have
had its origin in this curious cus
tom. Sassafras In Medicine
The root of sassafras very early
in American history became an im
portant article of medicine. It is
sometimes called the "ague tree"
as a decoction of its bark was Sup-;
posed to cure that disease. Sassa
fras tea, an infusion of the young
Shoots and roots, has long been a
favorite remedy for colds and a ton
ic, being sudorific and a stimulant
