ONE, TWO, THREE!"

1t was an old, old. old old lady,
And boy who was half-past three;
And the way that they played together
Was beautiful to see.
She couldn't go running and jumping,
And the boy, no more could he,
For he was thin little fellow,
With a thin little, twisted knee.
They sat in the yellow sunlight,
Out under the maple tree;
And the game that they played I'll tell you
Just as it was told to me.
1t was Hide-and- Go-Seel1 they were play
ing,
Though you'd never have known it to
With an old, old old, old lady.
And a boy with a twisted knee.
The boy would bend his face down
On his one little sound right knee,
And he'd guess where she was hiding,
In guesses One, Two, Three!
'You are in the china closet!'
He would cry, and laugh with glee--
1t wasn't the china closet;
But he still had Two and Three.
"You are up in papas big bedroom.
In the chest with the queer old key
And she said: You are warm and warmer;
But you're not quite right" said she.
"It can't be the little cupboard
Where mammals things used to be-
So it must be the clothes press. Gran maj

Then she covered her face with her fin

That were wrinkled and white and wee.
And she guessed where the boy was hiding,
With a One and a Two and Three.
And they never had stirred from their
places,
Right under the maple tree
This old old, old. old lady.
And the boy with the lame little knee
This dear, dear, dear old lady
And the boy who was half-past three.

KIpLING'S FAMILY TROUBLES
He Has His Brother.in-Law Arrested to Pro-
tect Himself

BRATTLEBORO, VT, May 10.-Rud-
yard Kipling has had his brother-in-l
law, Beatty S. Balestier, arrested for
threatening to do him bodily injury.
Balestier is at large on $500 bail until
today, when the case will be heard by
Justice Newton. +
One result is that this community of
has by far the most interesting morseL
of gossip that 1t has enjoyed for a de-.
cade. 4
The arrest was made Sunday after
noon when Kipling drove down from his
$4,000 country seat, known as the Maui
lahka," situated about three miles from
this village, and before the officers of
justice swore to a complaint charging
in substance that Beatty S. Balestier,
his wife'S only brother, had on the pre-
vious Wednesday in the highway lead
ing to the village, used exceedingly hard
and indecent words and threatened a
severe bodily assault. In actual words
the complaint was more formal, but
this was the substance. q K ss~
AS a result warrant was issued for
the brother-in-law's arrest and Sheriff
Starkey went to the house of Balestier
only few rods from the "Naulahka," I"
and the two returned to Brattleboro,
There was only a preliminary hearing.
Kipling was present. Balestier, the de-
fendant, was also there. The plea Of
mot guilty. was entered and the time
for the hearing was set. Bail was fixed
at $500, but notwithstanding the fact
that there is supposed to be an estate
Of something like 81 ,ooo, 900 in the Bale
sitter family, no one at the time was
consumed with eagerness to be the
surety for the young man. ,,r
It was then that Mr.. Kipling, not
withstanding his complaint, stepped
forward and offered to become surety
hrr, Ay ~, Irrr A..
him 30 to Jail. This was not at all pleas
ing to young Balestier, and he declined
any assistance from his famous relative
by marriage. 1t was arranged that
Balestier should be given his liberty on
his own recognizance in the sum set.
Both men say there will be bitter
contest, but it would not be at all sur
prising If the scandal that has been
caused already should cause the pro-
ceedings to be smothered,
There are various reports as to what
has caused the bad blood. One is that
when the kipling mansion was being
erected Balestier, acting as agent during
the absence Of Mr.. Kipling, caused the
Kipling sewer to run Oh the land of his
own farm for fertilizing purposes. but
that later on Balestier ordered Kipling to
remove It.
The second and more probable story
is to the effect that the dispute grows
out of stories which the brother-in-la
alleges have been circulated by Mr.. Kip
ling, Balestier, by all accounts, has been
indulging freely in drink. He is finar-
cially embarrassed. or said to be, and
some of his creditors have gone SO far
as to ask that he be declared a bank
rupt. He took an appeal from the de-
cision Of the probate to the county court
a short time ago and the case has not
been reached in that tribunal. For
some time, as Balestier asserts, his
The herald., 1896-05-31

brother -in-law, Kipling, has been telling
around that he had assisted him finan-
cially There have been sharp letters
passing between the two men, it is said,
and for a year or so, until one day last
week, the two men have not spoken to
each other.
1t was last Wednesday that Balestier
overlook Mr.. Kipling on the road and
hot words followed. 1t was then Bales
tier threatened to lick" the novelist
IL he did not retract the stories he had
told concerning him. The words were
decidedly hot from both sides. If reports
can be believed. AS both sides are now
bottled up until the trial, just what took
place is not known. After the threats
and unseemly words Balestier told Mr..
Kipling he would give him week to
back water"
How serious the threats were will
not be known until the time of the trial.
The matter drfted until Sunday and
then Mr.. Kipling made the complaint to
the magistrate.
Opinions differ as to Kipling's idea
in appealing to the courts. Some say he
was afraid of an assault upon his life,
or at least a rough and tumble fight,
and others think he wants to give Bal
estier severe lesson.-Chicago Tribune.

CAN THIS BE TRUE?

A writer in Time and Hour of Boston
tells this amusing story:
Not long ago James Fenimore Cooper
the grandson of the novelist was here in
Boston. While clevet enough young
Albany lawyer. Mr.. Cooper is not cloth
ed upon with the mantle of his illustri-
GUS grandparent nor Is he in public life:
and it was. therefore, with some sur
prise that upon the evening of his arri-
val at the Parker house he received the
card of newspaper reporter. Curious
to learn the occasion of the call, he ask
ed that the reporter be shown to his
room. The youth entered, and, greet
ing him with ceremonious respect, re-
marked that he hardly expected to find
Mr.. Cooper so young man. The situ-
alton was Immediately grasped, and, the
humor of it appealing to him, Mr.. Coop
er encouraged his visitor to proceed to
business. A fourishing interview" be-
gan upon his opinion of Boston and the
Subway, which was developing merrily
when a knock at the door brought the
card of another modern Athenian of
note book and pencil. "Show him up."
said Mr.. Cooper, with cheerful alacrity.
He came close upon the card. The con-
versatiOn now took a decidedly literary
turn, owing to the skillful manipulation
of the second interviewer. Observing
gracefully that he had always admired
Inc Last or the MOnlCanS more than any
other American novel Of his acquaint-
ance, he asked Mr.. Cooper whether he
considered Trilby immoral. A promis-
ing reply had begun when a third knock
came. bringing to the door another
brisk young man. "Sorry had no card.
Mr.. Cooper" he exclaimed, "but knew
you'd forgive this unceremonious call
and talk little for the Morning Sphere
Knowing now that he held all the
trumps, Mr.. Cooper threw down his
hand. "Who do you think am, gentle-
men?" he demanded. Then fell q deep
silence, out of which came from the last
caller, 'Well, know you are not your
grandfather, anyway, for i've just look
ed him up in the encyclopaedia" The
countenances of his brethren took on an
expression of chastened significance and
the trio silently departed.

sion. from her new book of Songs from
