L.
Dawn was breaking on May II. 1643.
The royalists had camped upon the
victorious field of Stratton; the round
heads We're in full retreat.
With the break of day the weary
soldiers, stirred to life by the advent
of the sun, struggled into boot and
stirrup, and company, under the COM
.mand of Col. Sir Richard Lindsay, rode
from the scene of the battle en- route
for Chiverton hall.
= A fine array of men they were. in
deed-gallant, proud, able and WILING
There was some of the best blood that
England could boast of in the trool
and many an adventurer as well
Among the latter was one wallace
Redgrave, trooper who had attached
himself to the kings cause, though In
heart he was bound in sympathy to the
spirit of the parliament
Much service had Redgrave seer
abroad, and he had been travelling
through England on the lookout fol
fame and fortune just prior to the out
break of the Civil war, when chance
had brought him to Chiverton, where
he had first set eyes on the beaut1ful
Blanche, daughter of Sir Richard Lind
saw. Never had he seen such beauty
as hers and as his eyes fell upon hef
for the first time as she was out rid
ing he had said: THAT woman shall
be my wife.
+ Redgrave was a strong man. Never
in his life had he longed for a thing
without securing it by d1nt or MS IN
domitable will and perseverance. He
staid at Chiverton and volunteered for
the service of the king.
A fine swordSman, capital rider,
fearless swashbuckler. handsome, born
to command, he attracted notice every
where.
At Stratton his chance had come
The army of Charles, dismayed by the
solid front presented by the 1ronsides,
had wayered and looked like being
beaten, when, with ringing cheer,
Redgrave led his men right through
their lines, carried terror and dismay
into the hearts of the rebel camp, and
turned the tide of battle In favor of the
king.
Covered with cuts and bruises, his
face blackened with powder, he had re-
turned to receive the thanks Of his
leader, Sir Richard Lindsay, in person.
And this morning, as he rode proud
Nv by the. side of the knight and saw
the towers of Chiverton loom amidst
the trees ahead, he made sure that he
had won his point-he had but to ask,
and the hand of Blanche would be
given him.
1t was in the great hall that night,
after most of the cavaliers had retired
to their much-needed rest, that he
preached the subject to Sir Richard.
The knights face blazed with anger
as he heard:
"Give my child to youi" he cried.
you must be mad!"
Mad or not, SIR" was the fearless
answer, II dare ask it: what is more. ]

HAS BEEN MUCH ABUSED
THE WORD LADY" is USED WITH
LITTLE DISCRIMINATION
Letters Will Be Answered on Tuesday
Man Writes and Asks How to Pro-
pose-Language of Proposal Is Not
Important.

There are few words in the English
language more abused and misused
than the word lady. We all know
what a lady is; there is no need OF
going into that here; but the 1ndls-
criminate use of it on every occasion
is absurd and exceedingly bad form.
So great is this abuse that it has al
most become sign of good breeding
to use the word woman instead or lady.
No one need object to being called
woman. 1t is a good, sensible term and
cannot be misused as lady can. IN
Vulnerable instances could be given OF
the absurdity of the word lady IN some
connections, but one will sufflce 10
show how far this abuse is carried. A
young woman told us the other day OF
having gone through the saltwater
prison with q party of men and women
who happened to be going over at the
same time, and when they were SHOWN
the pictures in the rOgue's gallery, one
of the women paused before the pho-
graphs of feminine criminals and re-
marked: isn't it surprising to see so
many ladies here!" Enough said.
Therefore, girls, don't insist upon being
called lady on every occasion; if you
are one every one will know it and
these days it is hardly compliment
to be called one. Men are not Such
sticklers about the word gentleman,
and yet it has just as important
meaning as lady.
Please remember that we are going
to have our answers to correspond
ents" department once week, on
Tuesdays, unless there is demand
for it oftener. So send in your letters
and they will be answered to the best
of our ability. We have received sew
eral very interesting ones so far, which
shows that the page is being read If
there is anything in particular you
think should be on a woman's page
and that you like to read, say so. We
are particularly glad to hear from our
out-of-town readers.
We are thinking of starting coll
umn for young men, because one writes
to know how he shall propose. The
only thing we can say is that he should
put the fatal question without undue
form and ceremony and in as unstud-
led a manper as possible. Don't drop
on your knees. That has gone out.
Besides you may get your trousers
dusty, as proposals are quite likely to
occur on the porch at this time Of
year. 1t is, after all, so ridiculous to
give advice about love affairs, for in
these matters each man and woman is
q law unto himself and herself. II
you are very much in love and thor
oughly sincere, you won't care in the
least how you look when you propose,
or whether your language is Shake
spearian or not and she won't care,
either. The love is the thing. not your
manner of speech. Be sure you're
right, then go ahead!

Ignace Jan Paderewski is passing the

of his spare time on the opera he is
writing to a libretto by Catulle Mendes.
Although his French opera hardly
could be called a success, his hope for
undying fame as an operate composer
is said to be undimmed. Paderewski
is rich, his assests probably footing
up to a million dollars, and his position
as the greatest of living pianfsts is

ward again in Prague next October
with his new "Armide." After all this
surprising output, Heinrich Conried
can have no cause for complaint Of
the lack Of new material by men big
enough to be worthy of the New York

the Art of Listening.

There is a grace of kind listening as
we'll as a grace Of kind speaking. Some
men listen with an distracted air
which shows that their thoughts are
elsewhere, or they seem to listen, but
by wide answers and irrelevant ques-
tons show that they have been occu-
pied with their own thoughts as being
more interesting, at least in their own
estimation, than what you have been
saying. Some interrupt and will not
hear you to the end. Some hear you to
the end, and forthwith begin to talk to
you about a similar experience which
has befallen themselves, making your
case only an illustration of their own.
Some, meaning to be kind, listen with
such a determined, lively, violent at
tention that you are at once made un-
comfortable, and the charm of con-
versation is at an end. Many persons
whose manners will stand the test Of
speaking break down under the trial
of listening

Animals That Saufnt.

The eyes of an animal can only work
together when they can be brought
to bear upon an object at the same
time; so that, as a rule, the eyes of a
fish must work more or less independ-
emily. This is sometimes also the case
when the eyes can cooperate, as any
one who watches plaice or other fiat
fish in an aquarium will soon discover.
This is true, too of the curious bulg-
ing optics of a chameleon, which roll
round swivelwise in a somewhat aim
less manner. When they do converge
it is bad for the insect upon which
they fix themselves.
Many animals possess more than
three eyes, which do not all act tog eth
er. A leech, for example, has ten
eyes on the top of it's head, which do
not work in concert, and kind of
marine worm has two eyes on the
head and a row down each side of the
body. Some lizards have an extra eye
on the top of the head, which does not
act with the other two. A bee or wasp
has two large compound eyes, which
possibly help each other and are used
for near vision, and also three little
simple eyes on the top of the head,
which are employed for seeing things
a long way off.

King snake and Water Moccasin.

1.-TWO years ago." says a writer in
the Scientific American, sit was my
good fortune to witness a combat be-
tween a king snake and water moe
casin. I was attracted to the scene
by a negro laborer. When I reached
the spot I found the snakes coiled to-
gether in a pool Of water, the king
snake gripping his enemy with the tip
of his tail just back of the head. 1t
was clearly his intention to drown the
moccasin. For the purpose of taking
a photograph I lifted the two strug-
Cling, writing serpents to a rock. Just
before 1 took my photograph the king
snake pulled the moccasin's head in
the exact position he wished and quick
" stretched his jaws over it. Thought
lessly enough, put the snakes back
into the water, thinking that the king
snake would also drown. Very soon,
however, he left the pool, stretched his
victim straight out before him and
leisurely began to swallow him. In
my efforts to take another photograph
he was frightened away. Both snakes
were nearly the same size, being about
three and a half feet in length"
