Mn Pretty Tefress
ILL., Wims a Fortune.

The wonder isn't that winsome Helen
Merrill, who sings divinely the part of
Cleopatra in "The Wizard Of tho Nile;''
owns q 900 share in gold mine. but
that she IS going to put every cent OF
her windfall aside for some rainy day."
All this snug little fortune is simply the
result Of a few kind words and deeds,
and Miss MerrilPs head isn't turned a
bit
Last summer, says a San Francisco
telegram, she was in Australia with the
Hoyt & Mckee company. They took the
mining towns by storm, and Miss Merrill
particularly captiyated the Coolgardie
mining district. There. In many of the
towns, prevailed a low fever, due to the
excessive rain and exposure in the
trenches. By night Miss Merrill was an
actress; by day, a ministering angel.
The sick miners grew to bless her
Day after day she visited them in the
dainties everywhere. There wasn't a
thing the boys" wouldn't have done for
her. and one day they told her that as
she had nursed her sick chums she was
entitled to an interest in their claim by
turning out a bucket of pay dirt" ae-
cordfng to the rule Of the camp.
No sooner said than Miss Merrill, pick
ing up her skirts and barring her white lit
tie arms, turned to and washed out a
bucket to the great amusement of the
terested in the claim, Miss Merrill In
sisted on paying in $500 as a share Of the
expenses.
Imagine her surprise the other day to
receive notice that gold in good quantities
had been struck in the claim, and that
her share in the cleanup for the season
amounted to $15,O 900 On the heels of this
letter came another, offering her $4,000

LO, THE SUMMER GIRL.

Io, there she stands
Upon the mystic, misty line
That lies halfway
Her pink cheeks redden in the sun
And with a greeting smile and nod
She comes to earth upon a bluebird' s
wing
And tipfoes into June
On roSebudS blushing sweet
Beneath her dainty tread.
Gowned in a garniture Of f1imy white
Or fluffy pinks and blues
And every varying tint and shade
OF blossom time
She Skins above the green earth's
Just high enough to reach mans
She makes the world her own,
And man her slave,
And as a queen she reigns
Upon her hammock throne.
Or sits in, state upon a hotel porch
Surrounded by her court;
The ribbons of her sailor hat
Are rainbow tinted letters
Binding close the glad, unhappy sub
jects
OF her sway;
Her tinsel parasol
Is sceptered in her hands,
And from its shade she rules
A retinue of SWANS;
Down by the sea
She walks the silver strand,
Where emerald waves break into foamy
And lay their broken bodies at her
She murmurs nothings to , hundred
ears,
And gives her smiles to honeyed tongues
That tell of manly hearts in thrall to
The lazy, lambert moon
Lies crescent in the sky
For her to hang her witcheries ON,
And all the little stars,
With tWinlIling eyes that sparkle in the
blue,
This sorceress of the summer time
Work mOOnshine into mystic spells;
The sunshine drops its dazzle
In her hair, her eyes, her smile;
The flowers fold their fragrance round
AS she moves
The roses lay their leaves upon her
cheeks,
The lilies on her hands.
And everything in sight is hers.
She leaves the land
To meet the cool caresses of the sea,
And Neptune sets short-robed Queen
Upon his billOwy throne;
The saucy waves come up to kiss her
cheeks
And slip away, as laughingly she dares
Them TO do their worst;
Sunburned she stands upon the shore,
And, gazing outward DER the sea, she
weeps
For other worlds to claim az hers.
Up from the sea
To where the mountains touch the sky
And battle their green broWs
In silver clouds.
She takes her way,
All-cOnquering as she comes;
The waving trees
Bend down their sheltering boughs
To touch her passing underneath;
The gray crags soften
When she rests on them;
The murmurOus hum of forest life
Grows still to hear her speak.
And what she says to any him
Who wOrships her
In those pri1neVal shrines
Is hidden in the hearts Of flowers
Where bees may come to gather 1t
And lock it in their hives.
She rules the mountains
AS she rules the shore
flirting phantom,
Frivolous and fair;
A dream of fluffy pink and white
That ne'er comes true;
A bright intangibility;
A phantasy of music, moonlight, love and
flowers,
