Under the Naples.

A youth and maiden stood under
the naples. The youth was holding
the maiden's hand. and his eyes and
the moonlight were looking down into
her upturned face. Her chip hat dan
gled from its strings, and her hair,
yellow as the moonbeams, chung about
her neck in riotous ringlets. Her eyes
were blue and wistful. but her lips
were as silent as the night
The youths voice was low and
trembled, as though a sob, which he
had tried to swallow, was lodged in
his throat.
In babyhood these two had played
together; in childhood they had wan
dered, hand in hand, across the violet
dotted fields and along the clover-car-
peted lanes. Into each others hearts
they had grown, and to each the future
without the other, seemed uninviting.
But the youth was about to depart
for a far country, and they we're
standing together under the naples for
the last time. perhaps for years-per-
haps for ever.
Jason was sojourner on the Dor.
der land between youth and manhood.
He was ambitious, visionary, perhaps
and the quiet country town seemed
to possess no encouraging possibilities.

cinating to him and he had determined

A week later he was at work with

And that is how Jason located the
famous Princess Mildren Mine.
A man and a woman stood under the

the woman's hands. and his eyes and

her upturned face.
"You have been so long returning,
Jason" she said. And did you find
no gold?"

The play" Of intellect, to use g

quiet restless child by making for
him little figures which she modelled
from bread crumbs rubbed between
her fingers. The rapidly growing pro
cession Of Noah's-ark animals at
tracted the attention of gentleman
opposite. 1t was the sculptor Thomas
Ball, who afterward told the girl she
had unusual talent, took her to his
own studio. and taught her to model
in clay and afterward to work in
marble. An interesting side-light on
the pretty incident Is that the young
girl had nodded her figures undis-
turbed by a tableful OF witnesses, and,
on the other hand, Mr.. Ball seated her
in the studio with her back toward
his own chair because he could not
possibly work while anybody looked
