A Corcan Cinderella.

In Corea the people tell Cinderella
story that is much more ancient than
that familiar to western people. The
key of the latter story is the slipper,
but not so theirs. Peach Blossom, the
Corean Cinderella's name, was the fam
lily drudge. One day as the mother was
starting off with the favorite daughter
to picnic she said to Peach Blossom:
"You must not leave until you have
hulled bagful of rice and filled the
broken crock with water" While sit
ting there bemoaning her hard lot she
heard a twittering and fluttering Of
wings. Looking up she saw a flock of
sparrows pecking the hulls off the rice.
Before recovering from her surprise a
little imp jumped out of the fireplace
and so skilfully repaired the crock that
but few minutes of work was required
to fill it with water. Then she went to
the picnic and had royal iIme.-Chi-

CHAPTER xXy1,

BY THE Hit OF THE SWORD.

stockade down to the bivouac, where
Pembroke and his men had spent the
night.
Nov, Sir Arthur" said he to the lat

am ready to talk with you. Let us
go apart"
Pembroke Joined him, and the two
walked slowly away toward tho encir-
cling wood which swept back of the
stockade. Law turned upon him at
length squarely.
"Sir Arthur said he, II think you
would tell me something concerned
with the Lady Catharine Knollys. Do
you bring any message from herr"
The face of Pembroke famed scar
let with sudden wrath. "Message!"
said he. Message from Lady Catha-
rine Knollys to you? By God! sir,
her only message could be her hope
that she might never hear your name
again.
"You have still your temper, Sir
Arthur, and you speak harsh enough"
Harsh or not" rejoined Pembroke,
Il scarce can endure her name upon
your lips. You, who secuted her, who
left her, who took up with the lewdest
woman in all Great Britain, as it now
appears-you who would consort with
this creature"
'In this matter" said John Law,
simply, you are not my prisoner, and
beg you to speak frankly. 1t shall
be man and man between U.S."
"How you could have stopped to such
baseness is what mortal man can never
understand" resumed Sir Arthur, bit
terly. Good Cod! to abandon wom-
an like that so heartlessly-"
"Sir Arthur" said John Law, his
voice trembling, 81 do myself the very
great pleasure of telling you that you
lie!"
For moment the two ss1si silent,
facing each other, the face Ct each
stony, gone gray with the enations
back of it.
'There is light" said Pembroke,
"and abundant space"
They turned and paced back farther
toward the open forest glade. Yet now
and again their steps faltered and half
paused, and neither man cared to go
forward or to return. Pembroke's
face, stern as it had been, again took
on the imprint of a growing hesitation.
MIR. Law" said he, there is some
thing in your attitude which l admit
puzzles me. I ask you in all honor, l
ask you on the hilt of that sword which
know you will never disgrace, why
did you thus flout the Lady Catharine
Knollys? Why did you scorn her and
take up with this woman yonder in
her stead?"
Sir Arthur" said John Law, with
trembling lips, Il must be very low in
deed in reputation, since you can ask
me question such as this"

BIG DOG ATTENDS SCHOOL
Follows His Little Master Every Day
in Spite of Objections Made
by His Teacher.

Whoever heard Of dog going to
school?
In PawtucKet, R. l., there is dog
That has been attending school for a
couple of years. His name is Prince
Turner
He goes to one of the grammar
schools.
He is Newfoundland dog-a big,
heavy fellow-but his manners and his
disposition are perfectly gentle.
Does he break the rules? Not as
often as his boy companions do. In.
deed, his department grade is very
high.
Prince Turner belongs to little boy
whose name is Willie Turner, and
when he first began bringing Prince to
school the teacher objected.
But her objections did no good, for
Prince was determined to come with
his little master.
For little while he was as awk-
ward as a bull in a china shop; the
aisles were so narrow that sometimes
he had tight squeeze to get through.
And then in his good humor he
would switch his tail back and forth,
which sometimes gave the children a
smart slap in their faces.
After a bit, however, he learned how
to get along very nicely in the school
room.
Princes regular place in. the room is
an open space in front of the teachers
desk.
Occasionally he rises and moves quiet
ly about the room, stopping now and
then to let some boy or girl give him a
pat and hug.
AT recess time in the morning and In
the afternoon he rises and marches out
with the children and takes his recrea-
ton with them, and then marches in.
One day, however, Prince had little
errand to attend to at recess time and
wandered farther away from the school
yard than he expected to. When the
bell rang at the close of recess ne did
not hear it. The teacher noticed that
prince was not in line 50 she opened the
window and rang the bell second time.
This time Prince heard it and trotted
straight back to the yard and found his
place in the line.
One time his master had misbehaved
and was sent to the principal to be pun
ished. Prince somehow seemed to real
lie that his master was in trouble, so
what did he do but march into the prin-
cipal's room-the door had been left
open-plant himself beside his master
and look dangerous.
The principal did not dare to punish
the boy until the dog had been removed.
Perhaps some of you boys wish you
had dog around to protect you when
you have misbehaved and are going to
| be punished
Prince would like to go to Sunday
school. but the superintendent has not
| yet made up his mind that it would do
to let big dog in. So the poor fellow
has to wait at the door until Sunday
school is over and Willie comes out

The stransest thing. perhaps, in the
history OF Washington Is that not one
Of the dead presidents Of the Republic
is buried here Several Of the generals
and naval commanders Of the country'S
wars rest at Arlington or in other Gene
teries in or near Washington, but the
bones or the Presidents lie In burial
places scattered from Vermont TO Vir-
ginia, and from Massachusetts to Iii
nois The ma Ority of them sleep in
town or city cemeteries near the homes
from which they came TO the White
House. The fact that none o. the tombs
OF the Presidents is in Washington Is
explicabIe when II is considered that
none of them have made their homes in
Washington after going out OF Office.
They have invariably retired 10 their
former homes or To some city in the
States. where their remaining days were
spent.
Another strange fact is that only two
cemeteries hold the bodies Of more than
one OF the Presidents. John Adams and
John Quincy Adams both lie in the Con-
gregatiOnal burying ground in Quincy.
Mass. and Tyler and Monroe lie in
Hollywood Cemetery. in Richmond
Five of the Presidents were buried in
Virginia. four each in Ohio and New
York. three In Tennessee. two In Massa-
chusetts, and one each in New Htplp-
shire Kentucky. Pennsylvania. Indiana
and Illinois.
Even the Presidents who died in office
were buried elsewhere. Harrison and
Tyler both died IN the White House;
LINCOLN IN q plain brick house in Tenth
Street northwest Garfield died at FL
