glare that beat on the gateway from a
huge lantern, and stood there for an
instant. Then she passed between
the guards into the night beyond.
The gypsy drew nearer to the arch
way. A few steps more and she would
be beyond the palace walls, when sud
denly the order rang out:
CLOSE the Gates!"-and the port
cullis crashed down between her and
the Spaewifs.
With a backward movement the
crowd within the courtyard parted to
make way for the Douglas, who turned
at the gate and faced the throng.

gan, fiercely. Then moderating his
tone. my lords! His majesty is not
to be found The gates will be opened
when the riddle is solved"
An uneasy silence greeted his
words. Then on a sudden, from the
heart of the crowd, the shrill childish
voice of Lady Margaret Douglas rose
in anger: My scarf! The gypsy
wench dares to wear my scarf"
But the angry tone changed in an
other instant to laugh of keen en-.
joyment, and clapping her hands, she
ran forward, while the spectators
looked where she pointed, at the tall
gypsy girl.
"'Tis jamie himself" she cried do
you not know his majesty? A comely
lass indeed"
Still laughing, she snatched off the
scarlet headdress, and the well-known
ruddy curls fells in a cleaning mass
on his shoulders, their color strangely
out of place against the swarthy COM
plexion.
The Douglas stepped forward and
bowed low.
MAY the Douglas venture" he
asked, 'to commend his majesty's
skill? 'Tis fitting jest with which
to end the evenings masque."
"A very perfect jest" added the
court jester speaking in the Douglas
ear, for, one step more and it had

Prof. William Lyon Phelps of Yale
recently told this story at New Ha.
VEINS chamber of commerce banquet:
A hard drinker was told by his doctor
that he could be cured if every time
he felt that he must have drink he
would Immediately take something to
eat instead
The man followed the advice and
was cured, but the habit of asking for
food had become so fixed with him
that once he was nearly locked up as
a lunatic. He was stopping at a hotel
and, hearing great commotion in the
room next to his, he peeped over the
transom to see what the matter was.
He saw, and rushed madly down to
the Office and shouted to the clerk:
''The man in 153 has shot himself!

HAD NERVE. BUT NO MONEY.
UnIucky Mans Modest Request for
Pecuniary Assistance.

Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian,
while in New Orleans a few months
ago. took the opportunity of going to
the races. During the afternoon he
cashed several tickets, the result of
good guesses. He was feeling happy
after the last race, and started for
the automobile which was to convey
him back to his hotel. AS he was
about to climb into the machine he
felt a hand on his arm, and a man
shouted in his ear:
Hello. Hitchcock, how are you?
Hear you put crimp in the bookies
to-day"
Hitchcock blushed and shook hands
sheepishly, not recognizing the man,
and not wishing to show it.
Say, I want to speak to you con-
fidentially." said the stranger.
"An right; what is it," asked the
comedian
''Well, I am up against some hard
luck to-day. They cleaned me and |
want to get home. Now, don't let
any one of these people see you, but
slip me enough for car fare, will
you?"
Sure" said Hitchcock, placing his
hand in his pocket Then he paused
and queried: Where do you liver
Vancouver" was the answer.
Hitchcock took flying leap for his
machine, and unless the visitors at
New Orleans are more gullible, the
impecunious one is still looking for
car fare.-Harper's Weekly.

DANGEROUS ACE.

II man is going to commit crime
during his lifetime the chances are
that he will do it at the age of 20. 1t
is a curious fact that statistics have
shown that man is more dangerous at
this period of his life than at any
other. The majority of criminals in
the state of New York have for some
time been of this age. The general
supposition is that men have attained
the highest development of their men,
tai and physical powers at 90, and
they are supposed to be able to distin-
guish between right and wrong and
to realize the consequences liable to
follow the indulgence of either. Next
to the age of % the greatest number
of criminals have been 81, 81 or 45
years of age. The intervening years,
in which men do not commit as many
crimes, have not been explained by ex-
pert criminologists who have made in
vestigations proving the above state
mentS to be true, and who are still
working on a solution of the problem.

ROMANTIC DEvoNSHIRE.
The Land Made Famous by PhiIpotts'
Novels.

Philpotts has made us familiar with
romantic Devonshire, in his fascinating
novels, The River" Children of the
Mist" etc. The characters are very
human; the people there drink coffee
with the same results as elsewhere. A
| writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill,
Bideford, North Devon, states:
For 80 years I drank coffee for
breakfast and dinner but some years
ago found that it was producing indi-
gestion and heartburn, and was max
| ing me restless at night. These symp-
toms were followed by brain flag and
a sluggish mental condition.
when | realized this, made up my
mind to quit drinking coffee and
having read of Postum, concluded to
| try it. had it carefully made, accord
ing to directions, and found to my
agreeable surprise at the end OF
week, that 1 no longer suffered from
either Indigestion, heartburn, or brain
flag, and that I could drink it at night
and secure restful and refreshing
sleep.
Since that time we have entirely
| discontinued the use of the old kind Of
coffee, growing fonder and fonder OF
Postum as time goes on. My digestive
| organs certainly do their work much
better now than before, a result due
| to Postum Food Coffee, I am satisfied.
"As table beverage we find (for all
the members of my family use IT'D that
when properly made it is most refresh
ing and agreeable, of delicious flavor
and aroma. Vigilance is, however,
necessary to secure this, for unless the
| servants are watched they are likely
to neglect the thorough boiling which
it must have in order to extract the
goodness from the cereal" Name given

Old Wall Street Character Dead.

Van Schaick & Co., one of the old.
est stock brokerage houses in New
York, have just lost their oldest and
most famous customer. Almost up to
the time of his death few days ago,
he would drop in occasionally to ask
Mr.. Gorham, Derby Crandall or Col.
Handy how the market was going. He
kept in touch with the market not
withstanding his great ages. Rus.

he used to make all manner of fun of

his junior, patting him on the back
and calling him kid" little boy, )"

his curls was wanting! James tossed
his discarded clothes in all directions
in his search for the missing head
dress, but he could find none, and time
was flying.
A bell changed the hour of midnight!
Clad as he was, James hurried from
the room and up the winding stairs
into the apartments of the ladies of
the court. Not even servant was to
be seen-all had gone on holiday.
The king opened the door of small
inner room gently. 1t was a sleeping
chamber, and pile of feminine finery
lay in one corner. In trice he had
snatched from the heap a long red
scarf of quaint device, and, turning,
fed downstairs again.
Meanwhile Margaret, daughter to
the earl, in the garden suddenly found
herself confronted by her father He
was flushed and excited, and his voice
trembled somewhat, with rage or fear,

question:

his cloak at the throat.

FARM WORK.

Thorough cultivation of the corn
field before planting pays big.
Have you provided pasture for the
hogs? Don't leave it out of your

Take away the unsightly chip-pile
and put it on a thin piece of ground.
The result will be more bushels OF
corn or oats next fall.
It's a good plan to set an evergreen
windbreak three rows thick around
the house, barn and yards. It will
save fuel and add greatly to the COM
