Cinderella of
St. Augustine
BY z. W. SARGENT
Copyright, 1904, by E. w. Sargent

Jimmie TOlliver regarded with de
cided interest the tiny shoe which lay
in the center of the white counter
pane. He had Il quick eye for the at
tractive, and he assured himself that
this was n triumph Of the cobbler's
prt, If, indeed, the maker of such a
dainty creation deserved such a com
monplace appellation.
Ii was low cut shoe, with patent
leather sides and white kid facings,
quite an unusual combination. Some
how it seemed to appeal to Jimmie,
and he removed it from the bed to the
table, where it stood before his eyes
while lie wrote the inevitable letter
home
Then, while he lazly puffed ciga-
rette, he invested tha dainty bit of
footgear with all the attributes of a
romance. How did 1t get there? Sure
ly no chambermaid, even In a high
priced hotel, had ever boasted the pos
session of such a creation. He turned
1t over carefully, but there was not so
much as monogram in sight.
He retired to dreams which were fill
ed with visions of tiny shoes that sud
denly resolved themselves into the
most beautiful girls and as unexpected
ly showed as mere shoes.
Indeed, but for the presence of the
shoe on his table the next morning
he might have thought that the whole
affair was dream, for how is decid-
edly feminine shoe to find its way Into
the room of so confirmed a woman
hater as Jimmie Tolliver?
He placed the shoe on the bureau as
being safer than the table, and then he
went down to breakfast He ran up
stairs afterward to change his coat for
trip over the golf links and reached
his room just in time to catch strange
chambermaid making off with the shoe.
"See here, young woman, that's petty
larceny" warned Tolliver. You put
that Wight back"
81 was only taking it for the lady 1t
belonged to-" demurred the dusky serv-
ant.
"Uh, uhr' said Tolliver. "Who is
the lady 1t belongs to?"
The woman could only look around
helplessly. "'Deed, suh," she declared

The unwasIed Ahrn.lninn.

The Abyssinian practically has little
love for cleanliness. The natives live
in lndescribable squalor for religions
reasons. TO go unwashed they regard
as emblematic of piety. one Of their
chief saints is Istathos, who is said
to have crossed the Jordan secure from
wetting because of his greasy skin.

"the lady done tole me not to tell any
one"
"Humw said Tolliver gravely. "This
needs looking into. It's absurd for you
TO say that it's your own" with a
glance at her ponderous feet. How
am I to tell that you are not taking it
to make match receiver or pin
cushion? guess you had better leave
it here and tell the owner to come and
prove property"
"Deed she won't come, suh," stam-
mered the maid. "She done tole me to
get it for her and she'd give me dol
lar. She don't want to come"
Tolliver produced two dollar bill.
"How did it come in my room?" he
asked.
The girls eyes opened wide. "You
see the LADY,

"The lady-she dun get foolin' wild Il
fren'. She throw the slipper at her
fren', and the fren' done dodge. 1t
fly outen the window and fall into
your room. OATS how it am done"
Tolliver glanced across the court.
'rhat's a fine story" he mused. "It's
good 200 feet across. She must have
plenty of muscle" Then to the girl.
''You tell the lady to send or bring the
other shoe over and she can have this
one"
With nod to the waiting girl, he
stepped inside the room, carefully lock-
ed the shoe in his trunk, and then went
off to the links
That afternoon Tolliver did rery
rude and ineXcusable thing. He got
out pair of strong opera glasses and
scanned the rooms across the court.
There was Il band concert in the small
stand in the center of the courtyard,
and he had Il good look at the girls
across the way, but not one, he decid-
ed, was fit to wear the shoe. With a
sigh he packed the shoe back in his
trunk.
But the shoe was not to be banished
from his thoughts. 1t became instinct
with life. Everywhere he went he
looked for woman who he thought
might wear such tiny shoe, but with

Palm Beach Before going north, and
Jimmie was Gated TO Join her there.
He left ST. Augustine with regret, for
Mt st. Augustine was probably the un-
discovered Cinderella, and in Palm
Beach was Nivienne Carroll.
Now, Tolllver particularly disliked
Miss Carroll, not because he knew her,
but because his mother wanted him to
marry her and settle down. 1t had
originally been planned that Jimmie
should run over to Nassau to meet
them and escort them home, and it
was because of Miss Carroll that he
had not done so.
He took the train for Palm Beach,
mentally protesting, but even his de-
votlon to the unknown wearer of the
slipper was forgotten at sight of his
mothers guest.
She was slightly below average
height, but with a figure and carriage
that did not betlTy the fact until she
stood beside other girls. She had the
graces Of Il queen, and grave blue eyes
saved her from acquiring a reputation
as tlirt.
Tolliver, from the moment he took
her little hand in his, was sorry that
he had not gone on to Nassau, and
that night when he took the slipper
out of the tray of his trunk 1t some
how seemed to have lost its old per-
sonallty. 1t only suggested Vivienne.
In n short time he forgot the slipper
entirely. lie had awakened to real
ization of the fact that he was really
in love with Nivienne Carroll and that
for once he and his mother were in ac-
cord on the matrimonial subject.
They were sitting on the broad piaz-

"Eh? whatY" stammered Tolliver,

went ON, "unless you've thrown it

1t must have been all right, for Mrs
Tolliver, nee Carroll, wears as a charm
Il tiny gold shoe incrusted with dia-
monds. II was her husbands wedding
gift, and she calls it her mascot.

A GOOD JOKE
 ON JUDGE STUCKEY.

Judge M. M. Stuckey of New port who was in Little Rock last week, says the Little Rock Dem- ocrat, tells a good story of his experience with a negro some years ago.
 My brother and I had sus- pected that some one was steal ing lumber from our yard for some time, but we could not find the culprit. Suspicion rested upon several people, but we would make no charge until ab- solutely certain of the guilt of the one accused. One night about II o'clock I heard some one at the stable. Getting up 10 my room Icould see a wagon almost loaded with my lumber.

Those who have been con- templating a hunt and have been putting the time off had just as well put their hunting trip off for the present season, says the Poplar Bluff Citizen. There will be no quail in southeast Missouri or north Arkansas after today.

FOUND NEGRO
 UNDER GIRLS BED.
Plea of Drunkenness, and Past Good Behavior Saved Him
 From Violence.

Paragould, Nov. 12. George Aiken, a negro, was found under the bed of some young ladies at the Stancil hotel at a late hour last night. Aiken was a porter lately from Jonesboro and here- tofore of good character. At the trial today Aiken pleaded drunkenness and claimed to have wandered into the ladies room instead of his own. He denied any intention to do anything wrong and claimed no knowledge of the nights experience further than that he was drinking heavi- ly before retiring.
 His past good behavior and the fact that he was asleep when found under the girls bed saved him from violence, and let him off with nominal fine in the mayors court today.

In the darkness my brother and l stole out of the house, but the negro had heard us or had fin ished his load and started away. We had to follow him some dis tance before we overlook him. We finally stopped him and com pelled him to turn around and drive back. Arriving at the stable we made him unhitch the horses and put them in the stable.
 Then with revolver pointed at him I made him march in front of me towards the jail. Going across the bridge to the jail the negro began to beg to be turned loose. Once or twice he flatly refused to go on further and 1 had to poke him with the revolver to make him move. His appeals to me were pitiful. Finally he walled his eyes around and said:
 "Jedge, is yo' gwine take me anyway to de jail?"
 Yes, you black thief. you stole my lumber and I am going to see you sent to the peniten- tiary," replied in a fierce tone.
 Well. fo' Gawd, jedge, I ain't gwine CT nuther step," and the negro sat down.
 poked him again and he finally started walking. Every minute was expecting to see him jump off the bridge. He was desperate. Presently he turned around and said:
 "Jedge, less argy dis matter CT little. Jedge, you is a good lawyer and eff you 'fend me I'll go right erlong widout any trouble. "
 It tickled me so I came near giving him his freedom" said the judge.
