A young gentleman from western
town, who was the guest at the Aud,
itorium recently, was made the victim
OF a practical joke, says the Chicago
Post, which he will not soon forget.
This young man has a number OF
friends in Chicago, among them a
couple Of former schoolmates OF his
Young men about his own age
They it was, who placed him in an EN-
barrassing situation, A day or 50 ter
his arrival these jokers called on him
at his hotel. Ghe question Of now to
spead the evening was brought up,
and he suggested that the trio attend
the performance OF "SinbadN at the
Chicago Opera House. This was
agreeable, and the visitor insisted Oh
being the occasion. Having some
pereinptory engagement ion that
afternoon, the young man from the
" est handed one Of his friends a SO
note, with a request to secure the
necessary seats at the theayer, and an
appointment 20 meet al the motel was
suggested and approved.
At s o'clock that evening a mes
senger brought a note to the youug
man at the hotel where he was wait.
ing for his friends, who seemed to
have forgotten The engagement. The
note informed him that his friends
were delayed, but that they would
meet him at the theater, ana enclosed
was his ticket. To the theater he
went. The usher conducted him,
much 20 his surprise, along the aisle
next to the wall. "Whefe are you
taking me?N he demanded.
"lo your box, SIR replied the
usher.
But bought no box ticket pro-
tested the young man.
"That8 what this is, sir insisted
the usher, aud periorce the youn =
man found himself in the front chair
proscenium box, Looking over the
house be soon saw his two friends oc-
cupying orchestra seats. They did not
respond to his slight nod of recogni-
ton in their direction, but at the first
entr'cate they leveled pair OF what
seemed to him to be big field glasses
at hlm. Presently one OF them whiso
pered to the man next him. Then
the other whispered to his neighbor,
and in moment two more opera
glasses were focused ON the now I'M
comfortable young man in the box.
The whispering spread, and now whole
rows of lorgnettes were directed at
him.
When the curtain fell on the Sec
ond act, an usher carrying a big bas,
ket OF flowers entered the box, and
getting to a point where every one in
the house could see him, handed the
mass Of fragrant color to the man
from the West. The usher retired
and the opera glass battery received
additional re.enforcements. BY
chance the now overwhelmed occupant
OF the box looked toward the foyer.
tie saw the usher who brought him
the flowers telling, with much gesture
IN the direction OF the box, some los
formation to the other ushers. Then
the usher seemed to melt away into
the audience, and the opera glasses
pointed at him were more numerous
than ever The entire audience seems
ed suddenly to have acquired IN
extraordinary interest ii the modest
young man, He could endure it no
longer and stepped back where he
colud not be seen from the front.
While wondering what it all meant
he noticed large card attached to
the basket OF flowers. Lifting it, he
saw written thereon in letters 50 large
that he vino ran might read:

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:

His friends had conceived and car
ried out the idea of getting him in a
box at the theater and sending the
flowers with the name Ut the Presi-
dents son on the card attached, calcu
lating correctly that the usher would
read the name and spread among the
audience the identity Of the distin>

scheme worked so well that at the

unworthy OF ner love.


The sultry days of summer crept
slowly by. Autumn breathed upon the
landscape, like the fair daughter Of
Rappacini in Hawthorne's tale, and
every living thing withered and died.
Winter buried its dead in deep snow
and sang requiems of the northland
over the white mounds.
Ronald McAllister went YEARLY to
and from his work, yearning for one
word from Ruth, the woman he had
loved and wounded so grievously.
He dared not write to her, nor even
look at her as they met in the street
He had no trusty friend who could
plead for him. How could he reach her?
One day as he was passing a news
stand he saw the little figure he knew
so well standing at the counter. She
was buying a paper, the heading OF
which he recognized as one of the lead
ing journals of the city.
A thought flashed into his heart and
burned there like star of hope.
He hurried home, seized pen and pa
per and wrote rapidly and increasingly
till daylight crept in, gray and wan, at
his window.
On his way downtown he dropped a
thick package of manuscript into the
letter-box.
What days of torturing anxiety fol-
lowed. At last it came-the envelope
bearing the imprint of the periodical
He tore it open and read:
"OFEICE OF THE CoURER-Dedr Sir:
Your story entitled 'Ruth's Lover is
accepted, and will be published in our
issue of December %. Inclosed please
find check in payment for same"
On the morning of December % Rom
aid stood shivering at the corner op-
posite the newsstand He had remained
there several hours watching for her.
The paper was just out containing his
story. Would she buy it and read ftp
1t was signed by an assumed name, but
she surely would-ah, she is coming.
She enters the little store, purchases
the paper-his paper-and turns to go
out, glancing idly down its columns.
He can see her plainly in the brill
iantly lighted interior of the store.
She is about to put the paper in her
sachel when something near the bot
tom Of the page catches her eye. She
reads it eagerly.
The newsman stares, but she does not
heed him Ronald can restrain himself
no longer, but draws near, trembling
with hope and fear.
In that sketch, hastily scrubbed at
midnight, he has told her story and his
own, has portrayed the anguish Of the
remorseful lover, his penitence, his
longing for reconciliation.
She chances up; her eyes are dewy
with tears.
What face is that so near2 It is hisl

sudden, the wedding did take place on

A GREAT FIGHTER.
The Military Career of Prince Rupert Of
Prague.

The Military Career OF Prince Rupert OF
Prague.
Prince Rupert was one of the most
extraordinary men of his time, and his
name is still a synonym for personal
bravery. Born at Prague, December
IS, 1919, he was only fourteen years old
when he entered the military service,
taking part in the siege of Rhynberg
with the Prince of Orange. From that
time on until very few years before
his death, in 1882, he was almost con-
stantly engaged in warfare, both on
land and sea, and the battles in which
he took conspicuous part were in
Vulnerable. His bravery was of a
kind that made him famous even in those
days when courage was a common
virtue. In the hottest engagements he
was always to be found in the thickest
of the fight, recklessly exposing himself
to the fiercest assaults of the enemy,
but generally escaping without serious
injury to himself. He became known
as 1.-The boldest attaquer in the world
for personal courage" and his services
were sought by all the leading sover-
eigns of Europe. He fought in En-
gland, France, Austria, Spain and Hol-
land, and on the sea he met the En-
glish, French and Dutch fleets. Rupert
was not always victorious, but his sue
ceSses far outnumbered his reverses.
Considering his warlike occupation it
seems strange to find that ne was a
slillful engraver, chemist and inventor.
He is generally credited with having
been the first to employ the mezzotinto
process Of engraving Chicago Daily
