THE RIEcTUM.

| wheH Tie young man with the lead pen-
Gil legs and high water pants bethouyht
himself of the skating rink.
So he vent out, and when he came
nigh unto his girl. he snake To her say.
ing: "Come, -, let us Rirt ourselves
Up and 20 hence to the rink. for behold
have been dihgent in thy absence and
have embexzled two coupons So they
went, one with the other. for they loved
each other with love. the NJ, atpe.s of
which was like unto death,
And when the youth and maiden were
come unto the rink. they saw divers
other young men and maidens waltzins
hither and thither, and standing upon
their necks, and spreading themselves
upon the floor to the four corners of the
place,
And the girl was pleased thereat. for
she saw the other msidens sticking 10
| their escorts closer than boiler yive,s
and she longed for some of the same
agony.
Soon she prevailed upon her lover 10
20 and do likewise. And he went with
light heart, for he loved the sport be-
cause he had been there before and
knew the whi:nness thegyof.
And after little while he returned
and took her feet and fastened the .kst,.
thereon. And In Ike manner did he un-
10 his own feet. Then they smiled one
upon the other and went upon their wob-
bly, way.
And IL came TO pass when thew got ont
where the eyes of the multitude were
upon them, the sweet maiden forgot her
self and looked back. Now this was
grievious thing 10 do, for Il was
written ON the wall: "Thou shalt not
look back when thou skatest, lest ,hy
feet forsaks thee and thou tread.st upon
thine ear"
But che was full of 10Y and chocolate
caromels, and remembered not these
things.
So when she looked back her feet few
from under her, and went into the atmos-
phere and cut star therein and descend
ed with a great crash, and she sat down
with dull thud, 30 that her hustle es
capped and came out at the neck of the
dress. And her faIl was exceedingly
hard yea, great WIS the Inuchness there
Of
So likewise had her lover spilled him
self, but he hurt himself not, for he had
l'een like the seven wise skaters who
had put cork soles In the basement OF his
trousers.
But In an evil moment he saw her bus
tie about her neck and he lifted up his
voice and laughed and asked her from
whence came the chat bag.
Then was the maiden wroth. an she
grew red IN the countenance and answer
ed saying; Thou leadest ms IN slippery
paths ana when The Moor riseth up and
strketh me IN grleyous place, thou
cometh not 10 my AID; yea, verify, thou
surgiest at my misfortune henceforth
