gan to row, while she sat facing me
with the rudden strings in her hand.
The moonlight shone full on her love-
ly face. at once haunty and mis-
chievous, framed in it's wreath of
glittering curls. From their place in
her corsage bunch of cyclamen
blossoms made the air sweet with
their penetrating perfume.
Il have wanted to do this for a
long time" said the princess, as if in
explanation, but my aunt hates the
water and Miss Gray Is as foolish as
a cat about it, 50 l made up my mind
to come alone
Her voice was low and as sweet
as the flowers she wore.

time" she went on, but you must

She took a dainty portemonnaie
from her pocket as she spoke, but l
FASTENED to stop her
You are too good, Fraulein," I
said, but I am not a boatman, and
l assure you that the pleasure of be-
ing of service to you is the greatest
reward l could have"
She raised her head quickly. and
I saw a frown gather on her white
brow.
"Who are you, them" she asked
in an irritated voice.
"a tourist fresh from weeks
tramp in the mountains" I answered.
Her forehead cleared and l saw n
mouth.
"Ah." she said, "in that case I must
make my excuse for my indiscretion.
If you please, we will return at once
to the shore"
She gave pull to the rudder
strings and the boat swung about, al

dared.
Have you been up Mont Blanc?"
inquired the young princess, who,
| probably assured from my manner
| that | was to be trusted, decided to
be agreeable and break the silence.

Then you knew our lake before?

that it seems as if it were con-

'Probably you are water

her in awed admiration
Il wish I were,' she replied gayly.
"You know there are some here, for
this is a lake with legends and spir-

"Really?" l asked.
Yes, indeed. The villagers say that

whole city buried beneath the waves

as If for mass. Listen, listen! Can't
you hear something now like the soft,
distant ringing of bells?"
She leaned over the side of the
boat as if listening to something be-

her own fancying.

peated.

the beautiful princess with the golden
hair and the wonderful eyes. The
soft odor of the cyclamen blossoms
was intoxicating.
Hush" she whispered, with a
mysterious air, laying her finger on
her rosy lips. 1.-The fairy of the lake
is calling us!"
In the silence of the night foated
distant sound of a hunting horn.
1t was easy to believe that it came
from below the water.
ooh, dear. no." she cried, laughing
at the sight of my credulous face
and wide open eyes, I'm afraid we
can't make it anything more than it
is, after ALL"
mot at ALL" exclaimed fervently.
you are the fairy of the lake and
you can lend to it any enchantment
that you please! 1t becomes immedi-
ately all that you say"
Through the vista in the trees
caught sight of an elegant villa, the
turrets cleaning in the moonlight.
Suddenly a dark form emerged from
the wide balcony and thin voice
called:
Nadia. Nadia! You must come in
now. You will certainly catch cold"
1T Is my aunt" murmured Nadia.
Thanks, and good night, Will you be
so good as to fasten the boat again?
Since you are not a boatman, l can
not pay for my passage, but l am
anxious to clear my debt
She appeared to think for mo-
ment, and then, abruptly pulling the
cyclamen blossoms from her belt, she
tossed them to me, crying: Fare
well, Keep these flowers in memory
of the fairy of the lake."
The next moment she had disap-
peared beneath the dark shadows of
the trees and 1 never saw her again.

A Dread Superstition.

In the old days yellow fever was mysterious terror
Its throughout all the infected districts
ed mans very soul to shudder.
1t spoken only in low Whispers as though sound
itself mi ght attract the dreadful death.
1t the most helpless of all terrors-terror of the
known.
What failed to grasp imagination supplied and
imagination nfamed by deadly fear fortunes of
which demons never dreamed
yellow fever terror in the old days scared asrllder all
but the very strongest ties of affection and kinslp.
The dying orsaken to die aons and the dead
deserted.
Human nature was, it were, cast into fiery crucble
and resolved into its fundamental brutal elements Beasts
could not be beastly in their cowarce than human
beings were in the old yellow fever days.
1t literally ''every for himself and the devil
take the hndmost,' though the hndmost might be
stricken wife child.
There were marvellous instances of sacrifice and hero
sm but they were exceptional They only emphasized the
fact that superstition makes towards of nearly all of u.s.
The dead deserted by friends and kindred were by pub
lie employees thrown into rude boxes wrapped in sheets
and caIed off to burial at dead of night There no
mournes foog to the grave; prayers the graveyard
place of horror and the roads it crew accursed
Such was the force of old time superstition.
Such was the weakness the cowardice the degradation
of human allure.
Today know that yellow fever not contagious not
even infectious, but through mosquitoes The
stricken and the dead may attended with absolute i'm
munity from the disease
The terror which men have blndly deserted their for
tunes and their families to escape may be shut out by
little netting.
Upon such little things do the destines of humanity
hang
The terror of the old day fed tseby fear the epidemic
UNNECESSARILY increased. Deserton of the stricken
and the dead left them prey to mosquitoes that imbibed
from them the poison and spread it among thousands
What forcble illustration here of the worldold truth
that all the plaques the disasters the Affections the sor
rows OF mankind due to mans ignorance and super
stitious fears.
Possibly NJ Muravieff preferred 100000 income of
some sort to the glory of being peace commissioner
They should send the lola, Kansas dynamiter to blast
path through the ice for Peary's ship.
There should be some pretty Witte repartee at that
peace conference.
BY the way, Walter Scott is getting further away
from the mine all the time
Perhaps VIM. Calhoun will find out what's the matter
with Venezuela.
