THE ORIGINAL CINDERELLA.
BY HELEN HARCOURT.
BY Helen Harcourt.

Few of us knew the true story of the
real Cinderella, or that there really was
beautiful maiden in the far distant
past who was the origin of the fairy
story so beloved of all children in all
ages.
ELAN, a Roman historian who lived
in the third century of the Christian
era, gives us the history of the orig
inal Cinderella.
She was a maiden of low degree, and
as good as beautiful. Her name was
Rhodipis One day while bathing in
the river an eagle swooped down and
carried away one of her sandals. 1t
was not glass slipper like the mod
ern Cinderella's, else it had not lived to
tell the history of its owner, when the
eagle sent it hurting from the skies
down to the bosom of mother earth.
The sandsl of Rhodipis was made of
fur, and it's lofty tumble did it no
harm, BY some strange chance it
alighted at the feet of Psammitichus,
King of Egypt. Now, the feet of
Egypt's maidens, as a rule, were rather
large, while this heaven-d dropped san
dial proved the feet of it's owner to be
very small, and beautifully shaped.
Psammitichus was a great admirer
of small feet in women, so he at once
sent out an officer of his court who
took with him the precious sandal and
orders to find it's owner, and If she
were young and honora BILE to bring her
to him. OF course, Rhodipis was found
and proved to be all that the king
had hoped. and so he made ner his
queen forthwith.
In this story we have only the san
dial, or slipper, the maiden and the
prince, or king. For the other access
sories of our familiar story we must
travel back into days that make those
of ELAN comparatively modern; the
days of the Vedas, which latter are
the four sacred books Of the ancient
Hindus. These books were writIcl
centuries before ELAN was born.
Here Cinderella is "a dawn maiden,
and the Powers Of Darkness are her
sisters. They compelled her to wait on
them and TO remain within the dark
regions of their home. She was sweet
and beautiful, and they were jealous
lest the bright eyes OF Mira, the sun,
should shine upon her
But one day Cinderella rebelled, es-
capped from her allotted bounds and
was met by Mira. who was delighted
with her beauty He would have de-
tained her, but she dared not 10 linger
beyond certain hour. lest her sisters
should discover her absence. Nor
would she tell Mira where she lived.
This WAS only the first OF several
meetings between Cinderella and the
sun god, but ever fearing the sisters Of
the Powers of Darkness. she refused

bered 4 and 5. Chests number 2 and
formed the apex of a pyramid which
reached within a foot of the ceiling.
While the work of arranging the

golden guinea each. To the two and one

Glymp gave that exact amount.

The entrance to the room of the mys-
ferrous chests opening from the COM

up and sealed over. Upon the door of
the front room he had fastened an ex-
ira heavy bolt. Concerning these in
cidents he enjoined the innkeeper to
maintain strict silence. But fact
known to the voluble innkeeper, my
friends, was a fact known from New

Thus the episode of that rear room
and it's mysterious pyramid became
bruited about throughout the length
and breadth of Manhattan Island; and,
moreover, the details multiplied in the
turning from one busy tongue to an
other.

quent to his arrival, Glymp was wont
to sit, day after day, pipe in mouth,

Upon the second day of June. in the
year of our Lord 1771. he first set foot
upon Manhattan Island. The huge
dory, which served TO breach the wide
stretch of water between the good
Queen Bess-amidst whose lofty rig
ging there swarmed a score of seamen
and the quay at the southern limit Of
the Battery, was freighted to the gun
wia|e with j. brass hound, securely
padlocked and heavily laden seachests,
each of which required the united
strength of two brawny seamen to lift
to the decayed planking of the anti
quated wharf.
Thirteen stout stevedores came for
ward at the strangers terse command
and each grasped with one muscular
hand the iron handle of the chest pre-
ceding him, while the other was sim
ilarly employed with the chest which
followed. In this manner the great,
ponderously linked human chain swung
slowly across Bowling Green; the
heavy tread of the rhythmic up and
down wave of the strangers sword. AS
they passed by the gaudily gilded lead

1t occasioned comment of a some

transferred his pipe and person, to-

quaint. highbacked Dutch bench which
stood upon the portico. Ranged beside
him, and with an obvious view to dis
couraging a too intimate association
with his person, was his long spyglass
and a tall tankard of ale. When it
was his desire to have the tankard re-
plenished he would summon a waiter
