gave him courage to face a strange
land. He was at least more fortunate
than Gretchen, because he had Juliet.

His love for Juliet antedated his love
for Gretchen. Fifteen years he had
played in the troupe with Gretchen;
there had been a long stay in Paris,
and lie had grown attached to Juliet.

proprietor, quick to see his opportuni-
~. had shown the midget how to put
the great beast through her few sim
pie tricks.
Since then the captain and Juliet had
not been separated for Il single day.
When they travelled by rail he slept in
the car On board ship or on land he
slept in her stall. The elephant quar-
tiers were far sWcetcr and cleaner than
some of the boarding houses at which
he had been lodged. and the captain
hated TO be parted from Juliet even
for Il moment
Thus there had grown up between
them love almost human in its In
tensity. The owner of the menagerle
had finally permitted the captain to
purchase the elephant out of his slen-
der earnings and the tips he had re-
ceived
The captain had several hundred
dollars saved up. but not enough to
purchase Gretchen's release from her
contract In time he could manage TO
save up enough, SO he tried to be con

But here at the beach the sight of
the children in their fancy dresses put
him strongly in mind of the little
troupe Of which Gretchen was the

grieved in sympathy.

from New York that morning to take
part in II circus in the evening which
was TO close the days festivities. 1t

captain felt depressed. Even the worn
letters in his pocket failed to bring

were OF no avail, and the captain re-

DOWNRIGHT ABUSE.

I've sure been called a lot of things
Since I've been fooling round on earth.
They've even called me names, b. jings
That cast reflections on my birth.
They've called me CRATER" ''snide" and
crook
Yea, they have named me worse than
that
But here comes some man with a book
That calls me ''proletariat"'
Now, l have lived the best I could
I've paid my debts when necessary.
I've been, I reckon. average good
For one 50 human and contrary.
But all my effort in the line
OF keeping straight and all of that
Is wasted, and my eyes run brine
If I'm 'proletariat"'
l don't know what the word can mean,
And, tell the truth, I'm scared to learn
Far as | know I've never seen
a sample and don't care a durn
If 1 should waste the brief remains
OF what short time l have at bat
Without once getting through my brains
The sense Of "prolctariat.''
Yet while live and have my health
I'd have the whole world understand
That, though I've neither fame nor wealth
There's none that dares to lift his hand
And swear that /, peace loving man
That tries to side step family spats,
Could e'er be listed with the clan
That's labeled ''proletariats"

ITS too bad, Juliet" he said softly.
IF Gretchen were here now to enjoy
this, how happy we should be- The
captains glance rOamed over the gay
crowd. 1t was the day of the chill
dren's parade at seaside resort. and
the throng of miniature men and Wo-
men in their finery reminded Captain
Kidd more than ever Of his own tiny
Gretchen. Tears stole down his fur
rowed cheeks, and Juliet in dumb SYM
pathy placed her trunk carcssingly
around the captains neck
Perhaps she knew of what lie was
thinking. Perhaps it was only the in
stinct of dumb brute, but the captain
was comforted by her caress. For if

had been full and complete. Juliet
still lavished upon her trainer the
wealth of her clephantine love. but
the captain had divided his heart be
tween the elephant and the dainty lit

before he had sailed for America.
When the Snowman who paid him
his salary had ordered him TO 20 to the
strange land he had begged Gretchen
TO accompany him. She had been will

troupe of lilliputians would not give
his consent TO losing one of his most
valuable little players. lie had hired

How to Snub Bores.

y friend of mine returned the other
day from an American tour and told
me that he received a severe rcbuke
out of the mouth OF a babe which cur
cd him of expatiating on his expert
ences. He lunched with his brother
soon after his return and was holding
forth with consciousness of brilliant
descriptive emphasis when his eldest
nephew, aged eight, toward the end of
the meal laid down his spoon and fork
and said piteously to his mother:
Mummy, | must talk 1t does make
me so tired TO hear uncle going on

the surprise she excited and glad of
the opportunity to parade She did not
need guidance when the way was so
plainly marked. and, rejoicing in the
fact that the children along the line
were generous with their peanuts and
candy. she kept a watchful eye on the

y cry of terror reused the captain
from his day dreaming. Juliet was

She couldn't drive a nail in straight,
Not even on a stunt.
She couldn't throw a stone a rod
And hit an elephant
She couldn't saw board across
And make the angie right
She wouldn't kill a mouse, although
II bothered her all night
She wouldn't miss n gossip feast
For anything you'd pay.
She couldn't hear a secret but
She'd give it all away
She couldn't hold her tongue an hour
Unless she were asleep.
She couldn't skip n bargain sale
Where everything was cheap
She couldn't do a lot of things
That men can do with ease
She couldn't knock three base hit
Or shin up lofty trees.
But she can take a great big man,
Enslaye him with thrill
And twist him round her finger and
Remold him TO her will
