Morris Nathan, secretary to the
manager of the company, and to

down, sitting on the sand.
Her grandfather looked delighted.

grandchild. They are most unattrac-

of little girls on the piazza, who We're
beautifully attired for the children's

Adelaide looked at them in amaze
ment.
"They would make prettier pictures
than I, wouldn't they?" she asked
honestly.
The young man smiled encouragingly

them earnestly and ran away up the
beach toward the approaching Mary.
"Oh, Miss Adelaide said Mary,
Low you have frightened us, and here
I've been looking for you the whole
morning TO get you ready to have your
picture taken. Your grandpa has sent
Il young man all the way down here
from the city to take it, and he may be

perturbation that she never even no.
ticed how the little girls hair was
braided when she went to do it over
again for the picture man.
Adelaide sighed deeply during the
process of getting ready. She had al

and she knew 1t only meant another
gingham dress and thick boots and her
hair more tightly and smoothly done
than ever. Nor had she been pleased
with her other photograph when it was
finished 1t was so much palmer than
the photographs of any of her friends.
However. she submitted patiently to

"You just drink this" said the young
man on the camp stool, and then you
take your hair out of it's braidS and
then you are a mermaid. You know
mermaids always have their hair flow
ing"
1t was true enough. Adelaide felt
greatly reassured by the accurate
knowledge which the two young men
displayed.
AS for what she was to drink to bring
about the change which was to make
her mermaid, one of the young men
dipped it out of pail for her. 1t tasted
like lemonade, it looked like lemonade,
1t smelled like lemonade, and yet Ade-
laide was not quite sure. 1t was all so
mysterious.
Anyhow. she was thirsty enough to
have drunk anything, and certainly if it
was lemonade it was the most delicious
she had ever tasted. She didn't hesi-
tate an instant. Somehow it never oc-

not afraid. She felt that Mary would
never look for her at such a distance.
Finally it was all down, blue, black
long and heavy as clock, lusterless
and straight as an Indians.
"My," breathed the young man on
the camp stool, you are a princess" :"
Adelaide looked down at her feet dis
oonsolately. Il thought ii would make

"And don't you feel at all fnnyP'

head.
"It takes some time for the scales TO

murmured. But neither of the young
men said anything. They were both
very busy Adelaide thought they
looked at her very hard while their
brushes We're piled vigorously.
"Keep there just as you are without
moving for just a moment, princess
said the man on the camp stool.
1--WE won't be five minutes if youll
keep perfectly still, mermaid" said the
man on the sand.
Adelaide kept perfectly still. 1t was
hard work, but the flying brushes lHs-

colors. There were rests now and then
for Adelaide. during which they asked
her courteously about the palace and
the kire, etc. Adelaide answered cour-
teously also. She had often heard the
hotel called palatial by chance visitors
in conversation with the proprietors,
and she supposed they meant the king
to be her grandfather.
In the midst of this very agreeable
truce Adelaide suddenly heard the
voice Of Mary shouting her name. The
voice sounded frightened, and it was
accompanied by the stentorian voice of
the weighing machine man, who was
helping Mary out in her quest for her
missing charge.
She felt for the first time that she

had been wrong in running away and
giving them so much trouble. "It is
Mary; she has come for me-" she eX-
plained to the young men. You see,
l ran away, and now l must go back" "
She began making frantic effort to
braid her hair.
The young men helped her. They
were not very skillful, any of the three,
but they got it done after a fashion,
and Adelaide thought Mary might not
notice if she kept her hat on.
She bade the young men a hasty
goodby. "Goodby, princess" said the
young man on the camp stool Good
by, mermaid said the other young
man. He put n beautiful pink shell in
Adeaide's hand. Keep this" he said,
"to remember the two men at the bot
tom of the sea" Adelaide thanked

said the young man.
Adelaide went back to the spar where
she had sat at first. The young man
turned her head and arranged her arms
and set to work again.

TAGGART MAKES APPEAL.
Irritation to Rank and FILE Thought
Thrust at Parker Men.
by Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Indianapolis, Dec. 21--Thomas Taggart
Democratic national chairman, to-day issued an
appeal to members of the party which is con-
strued here an invitation to the masses 10
in and take charge of the party organiza-
ton and supplant the leaders. He says that
there is no reason why the rank and file Of the
party should not be in control of the organiza-
ton. and that if they will come forward and
take their proper places workers in the
primaries they will control the party organiza-
ton.
The national chairman says that he realizes
that party harmony be obtained only by
enlsting the cooperation Of the masses, and
1t is his desire that they should take absolute
charge of the party organization in Indiana and
throughout the country.
In view OF the fact that many of the rank
and file voted against Judge Parker, the ap-
peal of Mr.. Taggart to that class is construed
here as a thrust at the leadership which die
tated Parker's nomination.
