at the round young form in the blue
bingham gown. How brisk she was,
and how busy! Fitting back and forth
between table and pantry, carrying va

she WAS rolling up her sleeves from

large snowy apron, and washing her

then how she did attack the task before

And as she went back and forth with
her biscuits, and began to clean and put
away the utensils she had used, she
began to sing. The window near the
table was open. Fairleigh could hear
the lifting lines:
Ny love is like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June,
My love is like melody
That's sweetly played in tune
A high, rasping voice cut the song
short.

Edward VII. and Harriet Lane

During the Prince of Wales stay in
Washington upon the occasion of his
visit to America, in 1860, he was Pres
ident Buchanan's guest, and occupied
apartments of the Executive Mansion
looking over Lafayette Square," writes
William Perrine, in the Ladies' Home
Journal. "One evening when an elab-
crate display of fireworks was given in
his honor he stood on the balcony of
the White House. together with Mr..
Buchanan and Miss Lane, amidst great
cheers. When dining with his hosts he
would escort Miss Lane to the table,
seating himself at her right. His man.
ner was somewhat bashful, and most
public ceremonies apparently bored
him. But while he was with Miss Lane
and the coterie of beautiful women Of
her set it was noted that for the first
time since he had been in this country
he seemed to show the manner Of a gal
liant young gentleman DESTROYS of pleas
ing. One of the merriest mornings she
had with him was at a gymnasium in
w dSuiHRtoH dllacHeu 10 II Iehldle sehl'
mary. On the brass rings suspended
from the ceiling he swung himself one
by one across the room, and the whole
party laughed heartily at his pranks on
the rope ladder. Then he fell to play.
ing tenpins. Miss Lane and the Prince
together succeeded in conquering Mrs
Thompson and the Duke of Newcastle
it was next the turn of the victors to
play against each other, and Harriet
who was one of the most robust girls
of the day, speedily outbowled the
Prince and put his muscle TO shame"

Within few months thirty-five wo-
men have been brutally butchered by
| men In this country. In each case the
| slayer professed to be in love with the
| slain and killed her because the feeling
was not reciprocated. In some cases
the girl had made known to her parents
that threats had been made against
her life and the man had been bound
over to keep the peace. But his bond
was no restraint and he killed her This
erotic insanity Is the most dangerous
form of homicidal mania. 1t Is treated
generally appears in persons of evil
temper and uncontrolled passions, who
are not desirable company for any self
respecting woman. 1t is becoming too
h common, and in default of legal pro-
hection should be dealt with sternly by
the male protectors of women. When
these erotics are arrested for making
threats their offense is treated all too
lightly. Often the matter is regarded
as a joke. Any man who forces his
disagreeable attentions upon n woman
should be isolated and held either in a
prison or an asylum. In 80 per cent Of
such cases the unreciprocated infatu-
ton ends in murder. Women are en-
titled to the most complete protection
against such brutes. The San Fran
cisco Call thinks that If the law will
not furnish it there is no other way
than to kill the man who wooes a wo-
man by threat of murder. If she have
male protector he should save her
life, for she is doomed unless he act.
II woman yield to the threats Of such
a man and marry him to save her life
she makes for herself a lifetime Of
misery, for such men are perverts, de-
generates or psychopaths unfit for the
conjugal association. We do not wish
to be misunderstood in these comments.
We only say that 1t Is the duty Of a
father to save the life of his daughter,
or of brother to save his sister If he
arrive on the scene when such an erotic
beast Is executing his threat it is his
duty to kill the wretch, and the law
holds him blameless. In view of the
fact that such threats to kill are in
variably carried out, why is it not the
duty of a father or brother to act in
advance of the opportunity which the
erotic assassin is seeking.

~ Owe, what picture" exclaimed
nj young Fairleigh, his eyes kindling'
- II never thought that Elsie was 50
pretty-never!'
Elsie, busy at the table in the kitchen
Of the apartment house was quite I'M
aware that she was being observed.
How could she know there was anyone
In that long vacant house next door
Indeed, it was mere chance which had
brought Robert Fairleigh to that sec
ond-story hall window, from which he
looked across and down at Elsie. The
firm of which he was member had
been given instructions by the owner
as to the papering and decorating or
this particular house, and Fairleigh,
knowing that he was invited next door
to supper, had put the key of the va
cant house in his pocket and gone out
early In the afternoon that he might
make calculations and estimates before
1t was time for him to keep his engage
ment.
30, she Is a harmless little creature"
Miss Isabel Burns had said to him
apropos of her cousin Elsie. "An or
phan, whom we keep out of charity.
She Is quite burden in a way, being
so idle and incapable. When we are
without maid, as occasionally hap
pens, all the hardship of the kitchen
falls on my shoulders. Elsie Is the
drone of this hive"
And straightway Fairleigh, who had
an oldfashioned feeling that the do
nestle woman was the kind he wanted
for wife, ignored, except in so far as
courtesy went, the existence of the little
cousin, and devoted himself to Isabel,
who, If past her youth, was still an i'm
posing and stately young woman.

Coninring the Sharks.

In the Persian gulf the divers have a
curious way of opening the season.
They depend implicitly upon the shark
conjurers, and will not descend with
out their presence. To meet this diff
fculty the government Is obliged to
hire the charmers to divert the atten-
ton of the sharks from the fleet. AS
the season approaches vast numbers of
natives gather along the shore and
erect huts and tents and baZaars. At
the opportune moment-usually at
midnight, so as to reach the oyster
banks at sunrise-the fleet, to the
number of eighty or 100 boats, put out
to sea- Each of these boats carries two
divers, steersman and shark
charmer and is manned by eight or
ten rowers. Other conjurers remain
"a shore, twisting their bodies and
mumbling incantations to divert the
sharks
In case a man-eater Is perverse
enough to disregard the charm and at
tack diver an alarm is given, and
no other diver will descend on that
day. The power of the conjurer Is
believed to be hereditary and the eff
cacy of his incantations to be wholly
independent of his religious faith

The King and His Dog Tax.

A recent Greek law is to the effect
that every owner of dog shall pay n
yearly tax of II drachmas. Those who
do not pay in time are condemned by
the new law to pay double tax. King
George sent recently to the police in or
der to register his four dogs and pay
their taxes. But the official found that
his Majesty owed for the taxes sum
of 4S drachmas, and had been fined
another As drachmas for having de
layed payment His Majesty has paid
90 drachmas for his dogs-St James

she went on with her work. But Fair
leigh noticed with a queer sense Of in
dignant pain at his heart that the flush
had gone, leaving her looking white,
and that she sang no more.
| 1t was with much effusion that Miss
Burns received her caller. She had
been hoping he would come earlier. AL
though, indeed, she could hardly have
given him much Of her time had he
done so. They were without a maid,
and she had been compelled to prepare
supper. Not that she really disliked
cooking, as so many women averred
they did. She had studied the science,
believing it to be more essential to the
making and the maintenance Of a hap
Ply home than knowledge of language.
To be sure, tonight they had asked him
only to their ordinary family supper
Her parents had always insisted on
dining early in the day. She was sure
he would make allowances.
Certainly. They were good to let him
come informally. And all the time he
was wondering at the transformation
well-brushed hair and properly-titting
gown had effected in the unattractive
person who had instructed Elsie. Elsie,
minus her cooking cap, and wearing a
soft little lawn gown, came and went
serving them. Just at first Elsie had
given Fairleigh a distant bow, but al
though she quickly glanced away she
had seen a new look in his eyes-a look
of questioning admiration that brought
the roses blossoming out on her cheeks.
Once, during Elsie's absence from the
room, Isabel made some laughing apol-
ogy for having Elsie wait on table.
But whenever l have cooked the
supper-What? A delicious supper. O,
I'm so glad you like it. | was saying
when | have cooked the supper, think
1t Is only fair Elsie should wait at table.
Have another biscuit, Mr.. Fairleigh, if
only to tiatter me! Yes, l am a tride
proud of my biscuitsv'
The elder people were talking togeth-
er and paid no attention, but Fairleigh,
looking up at that instant, saw the
swinging door was held back, and Ell
sic, another plate of golden-brown bis
cults in her hand, stood there. Her
eyes met those of Fairleigh full. A
flashing look passed between them. She
had heard then! Whether it was the
speech, or Bob Fairleigh's amused and
radiant glance of intelligence that dis
turbed her, Elsie did not know. but at
that moment the door swinging shut,
sent the plate dashing from her hand.
Fairleigh sprang to her assistance,
where she stood dumb with embarrass-
ment. And as the young man restored
the recovered biscuits and the shattered
plate, he handed them to her with the
whispered entreaty:
when will you sing for me again,
my love is like a red, red roser
Again." she said. She was like the
rose she sang of in that instant.
Again."
| Fortunately. when he called with his
new team the day following, Isabel was
out. Elsie told him so. But he had
not called for her. he explained. He
had called for Elsie. What a drive
that was! How the story of his obser-
walton surprised her. And it was
happy girl whom he persuaded that Ii
his was not love at first sight it was
love all right, and would make his life
a melody that's sweetly sung in tune!-

The elderly people of the farm very
larger mix of soclability among neigh
| bors than Is the fashion now. They
had plenty of hard work, but 1t was
the regular thing to take day off now
and then to go visiting-not a little
formal call, city fashion, but the horses
were stabbed, a chicken was beheaded
for dinner, and while the men viewed
the stock and crops the women com
pared babies, looked at the new quilts
and made themselves coy in the kitch-
en-. Newspapers were not so plenty
then, with daily happenings from all
over the world, so the neighbors
evened up with an exchange of views
on the books they had read, and with
gossipy good time on local affairs.
In addition to the regular round of day
light visits, which embraced all the
neighbors of ones set at least once a
year, there were also the evening calls
in winter time, when the farmer and
his wife went across lots to neigh
boris to ''sit until bedtime" This last
program did not include supper, but
simply a merry chat, with apples and
nuts, and all over by 10 o'clock. These
old-fashioned informalities in the visit
ing line were very pleasant In their
time and made friendliness the fashion.
1t did not hurt a mite then to take
friendly interest in your neighbors' wei
fare and it would not hurt now. But
somehow the older the country gets
the weaker grows our ties of sociabil-
ity; we read our daily papers, watch
the markets, mind our affairs and don't
bother about the neighbors. The grange
and the farmers club bring a spice Of
sociability where the farmers are or
ganized, but will we ever get back to
the good old back-woodsy way of let
ting the farm and kitchen have a rest
while we dress up and so visiting?

notable than their success, however,

How Spring Comes in England

The larks have begun to sing their
spring carols, and the priyet is green
ing in the hedge, says an English mag,
azine. A crimson shell of the apricot
has broken to show its creamy, folded
petals. Under the naked lime trees the
exquisite blossom-like leaves of the
columbine are mastering, a purplish
magenta beneath, a pearly green on
the surface. If no rude hand of frost
or east wind prevail the daffodils will
soon be in bloom. The little dark
green rosettes of the London pride are
rounding gracefully, and the spikes OF
the great flag lily push upward from
the earth as if they were the bayonets
of buried warriors.
