Something Hard to Buy.

The late Pat Gleason, former mayer
of Long Island City, was a fond and
indulgent father. Nothing was ever
denied his daughter Jessie that money
could provide. The mayor was not
well versed in foreign languages, how
ever. and upon hearing an account
read of a society belle of whom it
was written she had je ne sails quot
about her which rendered her a most
charming person, said to Miss Jes-
sic:
Go you and get one OF those
things. There's nothing any OF them
girls can wear about them that you
cant buy."-New York Times.

proach that the Etheling hastily re-
canted.
Now l bethink me, I am wrong,
and it is no ones fault. 1t comes of
the curse that lies over the Island.
Was there not something rotten in all
English palisades. it would never have
happened that the pirates got their
first foothold. But we have shaken
off the spell, and they have not mas
tered us yet Tonight We will try to
get a messenger out to my kinsman
in Yorkshire, and another to my faith
er's friend in Essex"
The next day. and for many days
thereafter the Tower windows stared
out like eXpectant eyes. But no de-
livering bands ever came over the
\ hills to reward their watching. From
! the moment that he was swallowed by
the outer darkness, the messenger
for Yorkshire was as lost to their
sight as though he had plunged into
the ocean, And a week later the man
who had been sent to Essex crept
back with a detection that foretod
his i'll success. The ealdorman was
taxed, might and main, t@protect his
own lands. He regretted it, to his
innermost vitals, but these were days
when each must stand or fall for him
self. He could only send his sympa-
thy and the counsel to hold out un-
tlinchingly in the hope that some
fortune of war would call the besleg-
ers away.
When he heard that. Father lngulph
forgot his robes to indulge in a curse
"Eoes he think we have possession
of the widows blessed oil-cruse? If
the larder had not been stocked for
weeks feasting, we must needs
have been starved under ere this.
How much longer can we endure,
even at one meal a day." He sighed
as he drew his belt in another notch.
When the beginning of the Wine
Month came, the bitterest sight that
the Tower windows gave out upon
was the band of foragers that every
morning went forth from the Danish
campfires Every noon they return
ed. amid taunting racket. with arm
ius of aleskins, back-loads of salted
meats, and bags bulging with the
bread which they had forced the ter
rorzed farm-women into baking for
= them. "They have the ingenuity of
f.nds." Father lngulph was wont to
groan after each of these speCtacles.
At last the time arrived when it
looked as thought these visions were

in Mr.. Sterlings visit to this city. The
