rosy apple so that passers-by woulI

Zoe did love him, and she said so in
Greek so vehement and voluble that
Pete. the would-be interpreter, did not
understand more than every second
word She went on to say that she did
love. and that che did not mind his
poor crooked back the least bit. The
words fitted by Pete SO rapidly that he
succeeded only in understanding and re-
tanning the last sentence.
Judge of our hero's astonishment when
Pete translated this back 10 him:

English. her eyes beaming ever with

and then on the other; and the author
of this veracious history is inclined to
agree with him, and earnestly recon-

of sentence into pretty fair Greek,
all but the words ''in turn. What
did that mean? he asked, and our hero
means to love me back Accordingly
the sentence as Pete understood it
read:

At length the fateful sentence was

officer O'Callaghan, in his newest uni
form, with two rows of brass buttons
meandering down his broad breast. his
tasssled hickory under his arm, and his
helmet perched on one side of his head,
boldly marched toward Zoe and the ap-

The officers beat embraced the local

district so rapidly as he did. Ever and
anon his bright star flashing corusca-

flashing conurcations of love, would
round the northwest corner and ap-
proach the apple stand.

morning with a greasy rag. while the
Volapuk language of love would say
more truly than ever Byron said it
''Zoe mou apago,"
and Zoe would answer with smile and
not unmusical voice:

Then they would rummage amid the
fruit, their hands would meet. little
surreptitious squeeze of the fingers
would follow. and then this stalwart
suppressor of anarchists would march
along. twirling his club. lowly whistling

dark Grecian eyes, and Zoe stole BASH

the surreptitious finger squeezing was
perpetrated, but never word was
spoken save How much?" Two fo'

did not speak. He was doing his bes

afraid he would blubber ou. and that

Well, queried the officer, "du y,

with the mass OF black unkempt hail
on it, as a sign in the affirmative, and
with a quick movement OF his hand
| across his eyes managed to intercept
a tear that in spite of his efforts escaped
his eyelids. The officer saw and was
satisfied, then, addressing himself to
the child, as if he was fullgrowr
man. and cheerily rubbing his hands. he
said:
Now, Pete. me boy, we'll have some
dinner. we and me-
Very soon they were on the best of
terms. and Pete would have gladly lain
down his life for his new friend. He
told O'Callaghan has little history.
But what interested the officer most
was that Pete knew Zoe.

fellow, swelling with delight. Zoe S

The officer had early in their ac-
quaintance determined to make use of
Pete in declaring his love for Zoe. SO
that his friendship had selfish motive,
was Petes for him. He took the little
fellow entirely into his confidence. and
the latter was as delighted at being able
to do his great friend a favor as was
the little mouse in the fable when 1t
was given an opportunity to gnaw the
meshes of the net that held entangled
its great benefactor, the lion.
Perhaps the simile is bad one in
this case, as Pete was helping to en-
tangle his friend in the meshes of net.
rather than to disentangle him.
The officer well knew that in the
course he had determined on there were
many difficulties to be overcome. He
recognized the fact (like another great
man of recent times) that it was con-
dition, not a theory, that confronted
him, and, taking a heroic resolve, de-
termined to learn Greek-that is. he de-
termined to learn enough Greek to pop
the question in it, and Pete should be
his teacher. 1t did not need many
words, he soliloquized-one short sem

That point was settled. Was no;

boy, Come along" and walking few
