through the Sta eet with Il bundle under
her arm and a Latin classic in her
hand.
Her face bore a very naughty ex-
preston, owing to the fact that her fa-
ther, not almiring fashion of wearing
French heels, had ordered his daughter
to take her kid boots to the shoe-shop
for the purpose of having "colnmon.
sense heels put on.
This young lady in question, like
mot girls, objected to having the shoes
changed, as she was about to graduate.
and thought she was plenty old enough
to wear French heels no matter what
patey- |uuulios said. Hence the naughty
and discouraged look upon her face.
! On her way to the fashionable school
which she attended, she was obliged to
pass the Windsor Hotel, in front Of
which stood handsome young man.
He attcntively observed her and
seemed to be quite taken with her looks
and us she passed he noticed something
drop from bundle which she carried
This he hastily picked up and walk
ed into the hotel, while the young lady
never dreaming anything amlss, jour
neysd on to school.
She soon reached her destination, and
was at once surrounded by Il bevy Of
school girls, with whom she seemed to
be favolite.
They danced around her, and one Of
the girls, pretty burnettc, noticing
the expression on the face Of her friend
said
, why, Marie, what is the matter
You look DIS though you hadn't 4 friend
IN the world.
We'll, III tell you what is the mat

They waited anxiously until she op,
ened the bundle.
why, girls, I've dropped one Of NY
shoes in the street and lost it. What

began, and shall not have time to 80
back for it.
IN tell what to DO said Miss Black
eyes There goes a ger-boy.
You might get him to make inquiry as
he goes down the street. Perhaps
some one can tell him where the lost
can be found
IN ask him to do 50, anyhow said
Marie.
And after speaking a few words to
the boy, and dropping a coin in his
hand, she returned to the girls.
When the schoolbell rang, they
marched into the schooiroom, and an
xiously awaited news from the small
boy.
After devotional exercises the Virgil
class went to the recitation lorm.-
Marie was called unon to give review
Of the verb 'amo, She began 'to love
in the present tense, when the doolbe]l
rang and the teacher was called out.
I'll wager it's your shoe, and that
some young gallant has found it. If so
we'll have to call yon Cinderella, whls-
percd one of the glrls to the blushing
| Marie.
The teacher returned and laughing
ly handed package containing the
missing shoe to Marie, who put it be-
hind her back until after recitation.
Upon returning to her seat she care
fully opened the packag', when ont fell
"A note. She looked around to see If
anyone had noticed it, but luckily all
were intent upon their studies. Then
she unfoldel the note and read -.
Mr. G. G. returns your shoe with his
compliments; also hopes to meet you
in the near future
Who can he be, I wonder p she ask
ed herself. III find out in some way
before the week is over
When the morning session Of school
closed the girls, all anxious to find out
about her good fortune, commenced to
ask her all manner of questions.
I'll bet he is prince IN disguise,
and will ask you to attend some grand
party, but instead of going in pump
kin, as did fairy Cinderella, you will
have to ride in coupe.
That's all right said Marie. I'm
going home to dinner, and perhaps will
bring you some news when | return
