Pretty soon the sun began to decline
and the shepherd blew his horn to call
his sheep together. Then the princess
and the prince with him, the shepherd
boy led the way to the village in the
beautiful valley below. AS they went
through the street. after the shepherd
had driven his sheep into their fold for
the night, the passersby looked with
questioning curiosity on the two peasant

his fat fist crushed against Bertha's
mouth.
Now the owner OF the Naughty Voice
was in his glory. All he had TO do was
to whisper into Bertha's ear to have II
fight started. The situation was prime
for just such a thing. Bertha, being now
very angry with her bad brother listened
in turn to the Naughty Voice and needed
what 1t said. Flight" it whispered In
her ear. Scratch, bite and pull hair"
Bertha, strong little pudge of a girl,
thrust her hands into her brothers curly
hair before that fellow knew she had any
Intention of retaliation. She pulled and
scratched, hurting Billy till he began to
cry out. But he fought like little ami
NAL, scratching his sisters wrists and
pulling her 1aXen hair nearly off her
head.

putting up a warning finger. Beware Of
them. They might turn you into toads

are; bmy faith. I'm greatly afraid of

night?" asked the princess. 1--WE are

may have a crust of bread and Il horn of
wine and a place to shelter us while we
sleep we will express our gratitude in

shepherd, But I'll not venture to promise
you food and shelter at our house, for
my father has a superstition about taking

doubtless growing tired OF his hfth bride,
had an investigation made into the girl
life OF his queen. Plenty OF persons or
low birth were found to verify the scan

rine. She had engaged herself to GER
tain young gentleman OF some standing
by the name OF Culpeper before she came
to court. This had been kept secret from
the King-sutiicient reason for Henry TO
be rid OF her. Other and more danger

mind, was allowed to associate with per-

making the women servants of her grand

Thrifty Porter and Family Not Obliged

Thrifty Porter and Family Not Obliged
to Buy Meat.
A negro family in this city lives
mostly upon the yollzs of eggs which
cost it nothing.
The head Of this family is a porter
in a saloon where a great many gin
fizzes are sold. In making a gin fizz
only the white Of the egg is used and
the yolk is thrown away. This porter
saw all these egg yolks going to
waste With the consent Of the sa-
loonkeeper he provided q small tin
bucket, and now the bartenders put
the discarded egg yolks into it. When
the porter goes home each night he
carries the egg yolks with him. Often
he has from four to eight dozen of
them.
1--WE eat 'em fried, boiled, poached,
scrambled and in custards,' he said.
Don't never have to buy no meat in
my house"

In Darkest London.

A Parsee, visiting London for the
first time, dined one night with the
bishop, who tried to convert him.
Now the Parsees are sun worship
pers, and it did not occur to the
bishop when he took up his line of
argument that the London winter sea-
son is one long, cold, wet fog, and
that the sun never shows himself.
Said the bishop:
"Here you are, my friend, man
of culture, widely travelled, generous,
grave, wise, and yet you worship the
sun. How can you do it? I can't
