Frelinghuysen rose and puffed at his
pipe. He glanced up in the branches
of the tree with his head on one side
A shower of pink petals almost blind
ed him.
"Eh, little Cinderella" he said good
naturedly. what say you"
what say I?' she mimicked. 81 say
that when a really truly fairy prince
comes along I'll go with him and
change my horrid nome from McCue
to-
"FreIinghuysen," he suggested.
The second slipper hit him danger
ously near the tip of his nose.
"Guess you and / better be off to the
cover Of our family roof, Mick. Things
for which we-you and I-have no i'm
mediate use seem to be coming ouI
way"
AS the tall, broad shouldered form
started around the corner Norah re-
Tented, and tiny scream came from
the talking tree. Josh went back and
once more peered up among the
branches.
Gould l be of some service to you
Cinderella?" he said, with deep bow
"Josh, you're such an idiot" came
from the pink and white screen.
He bowed again.
"And, what is more, 1 despise you
Yes, l do. I tell you, l despise you"
"This, my dear Miss McCue, is only
repeating last nights conversation,
SAID Frelinghuysen. MAY l suggest
that you have already made that point
entirely clear to me?"
"Well. you put that ladder back
against this tree this very instant. I'm
coming down." she said.
He picked up the ladder and slowly
placed it against the tree.
"And, Josiah Frelinghuysen, do you
know what I'm going to do when ]
get out of this tree and down on the
earth? You don't, eh?" she continued
'Well, I'll tell you!" By this time she
was on the top rung of the ladder, her
skirts gathered in a fluffy mass. 'T'll
tell you"
$50 you remarked" he assented.
''Well, then, don't interrupt me- I'm
going to get married. Pm going to
change my name, just because don't
like my name I'm going to marry
you. Josh Frelinghuysen, so am,
just for spite"
Descending ladder in stocking feet
to the tune Of ones own stinging sar-
casm is slow work, and she had now
reached the middle of the ladder. 1t
slipped. at least Josh said it did, and
Norah landed in his arms. And then
her contract was sealed by a method
not common in law offices, but which
seemed to be quite binding and very
satisfactory to all parties concerned,
Including a hilarious messenger boy.
Presumably Mr. White had been
found. for the lad leaned on the gate
grinning from ear to ear as he sang:
Huge McCue, you, mick, you;
You mick you"

wnen, with q shout, young fellow
lurched out from one of the corner
saloons and threw his arm about her
shoulders.
Sally screamed in terror, but the
men standing in the doorways or
lounging ON the corner regarded the
scene indulgently. Dago Joe proba-
bly, meant only to kiss the girl, and
anyhow he was notably quick with a
knife They were not minded to make
it any concern of theirs.
Sally fought as best she could, but
the leering face approached closer to
hers, and the mans breath beat hot
ly against her cheek. Then she heard
the clatter of hoofs, whoop unmis-
takably Irish, and her assailant went
reeling across the sidewalk from the
force of a smart blow on the head
from a club.
With a cry of relief, Sally sprang to-
ward her rescuer. 1t was her knight,
who, turning the corner, had come
upon the scene and had charged the
Italian with his lance. Now he slipped
off his horse and finished off the job
with his fists. Only once the knife
flashed, slipping through the coat of
mail and scratching the shoulder. Then
the weapon was knocked from the
Italians hand, and he was done up in
approved style until the conveniently
nearsighted policeman interfered out
of pity for the battered wreck.
Then the knight turned to Sally. His
flowing hair had fallen in the gutter
along with his glittering helmet. His
flowing mustachios hung lonesomely
from one corner of his mouth. His eye
brows, too, were sadly askew and
blood stained the shirt of mail over the
shoulder.
"Come around to the stable until
can put me horse up, and I'll take you
home,' offered the knight. II was
afraid you would find out was dom

place back"
as it you. Tim?" gasped Sally.
"Sure," was the sheepish reply. "A
fellow offered me So to advertise his
show for a week. needed some mon
ey to take you to the lady telephoners'
ball tomorrow night, and l took him
up. | thought you was wise when you
threw kiss to me yesterday"
They were walking toward the stable
as they talked, and now Tim led his
horse inside. The coat of mail, made
of cords daubed with aluminium paint,
was soon stripped off and the cut
found to be a mere scratch. In box
stall Tim discarded the remainder of
his gorgeous outfit and resumed his
own well worn suit.
AS they passed down the street in
the direction of Sally's home she slip
ped her arm through his confdingly.
"I'm glad it was you and not make
believe knight who rescued me-" she
whispered.

"But | won't be fake knight arter
tomorrow. I'm goin' on the traffic po-
lice. The captain likes the way l ride
and can get me right through. Now we
can get married in spite of my losin'

'T'm glad of that, too." said Sally
contentedly as her castle in Spain
shrunk to a four room fat.

Keep up. The dress is charming, ma
demoiselle. 1t will not be that you
need wait"
With a nod she dismissed Lisbeth,
who hurried down the stairway. The
downtown cars were less crowded, and
Lisbeth found a seat With her hands
tucked into her pockets, the right
clutching the dainty bow Miss Brady
had given her, Lisbeth again was lost
in her thoughts.
But this time the thoughts were vast
~ different She was thinking of the
price Mrs. Cryder paid for the luxury
with which she was surrounded. She
had married for money, married a
drunkard whom she could not love. If
Tommy ever dared to treat her in such
a fashion Lisbeth blushed at the
thought as she signaled the conductor
for her crossing ].
Tommy was waiting for her in the
tiny parlor when her toilet was COM
pleted.
"My, but you look swell" he cried

"Who gave you that hair ribbon2"

blushing again as she thought of Miss
Brady's prophecy. do you like it2''

beth, but she let him clasp her in his
arms, and as he pressed her cheeks
with eager lips she remembered the
scene in the Cryder home. She had

"He did smilep' Sally's eyes glowed
with excitement and her glance follow
ed the gayly caparisoned horse with its
mail clad rider down the crowded
thoroughfare.
Mary Mccain, at the next table, gave
a snort of contempt.
"Sure he did, she conceded good
humoredly. He'll smile at any little
softy he thinks is fool enough to smile
back. I'll bet Miss Cady won't be smil-
in when she sees how far behind you
are with your wrappin'."
Sally flushed as she cast an appre-
hensive look in search of the dreaded
forewoman and bent to her task with
nimble fingers. She was one of the
fastest wrappers in the room, but ever
since the knight had taken to riding by
her work had suffered, and Miss Cady,
who trusted to Sally to set the pace for
the other girls in friendly rivalry,
frowned over Sally's piecework tickets
at the end of the day.
Until that week Sally had been the
record holder for more than year. 1t
looked as though a girl on the other
side of the room would wrest her lau-
rels from her.
Sally only tossed her head indiffer-
emily. The new champion could not
even see the knight from where she
worked, and that to Sally was the i'm
portant thing.
She was an omnivorous reader of fic-
ton, and the romances of the novelette,
and the cheaper theaters had filed her
brain When her knight rode past the
first time and cast gallant glance to-
ward the window beside which she
worked 1t seemed to her that the ro-
nance of the dead ages was revived
again. The grimy factory building be-
came castle, Miss Cady was her hard
hearted jailer and the knight in the
street below was her true love and res
cuer.
A dozen times that day he rode past
the factory on his mettlesome horse,
and each time there was the same up

Any true musician knows what a
trial it is to practice Chopin's Fifth
Nocturne" while a hand organ on the
street is grinding out ''Way Down In
Honolulu" and the pianola in the cot
tage next door is pedaling out ''The
Merry Widow" waltz. Norah McCue
knew what it meant, for she had been
attempting such miracle for the last
hour, each bar of music interspersed
with certain pertinent expressions
which her mother would have termed
Shocking"
The doorbell rang sharply, and as
Norah rose to answer it she gave a
discordant pound upon the keys as if
to illustrate her mood. She opened the
door, to be faced with the errand boy
from the station, stolidly chewing gum.
"Any Of youse White?' he managed
to say between the vigorous move
ments Of the jaws.

Lisbeth Strengthened up. with sigh,
and wriggled her fingers, bent and al
most distorted by constant work with
the needle. The sharp eyed forewo-
man hurried toward her.

asked. 81 was beginning to think that

patiently. There is an awful lot of

"All the more need for working

MRS Cryder has telephoned three
times since O'clock"
AS she spoke she was rapidly ex-
amining the work, but even her critical
glance could discover no defect, and
with a last deft touch she shook out
the heavy folds and prepared 1t for
packing, while Lisbeth hurried off to
the little cupboard, by courtesy termed
dressing room, and exchanged her
working clothes for the neat street
dress.
She made what speed she could, for
Tommy Ransom was coming to take
her to a dance and she must have time

Miss Brady extracted the pencil that
was stuck through her back hair and
wrote an address on the box; then she
searched her pocketbook for dime.
Something in Lisbeth's face caught her
attention.
'I'm sorry if you're going out this

QUEER BOUNDARIES.
The 10 o'clock Line Was Suggested BY
the Indians.

The 10 O'Clock Line Was Suggested BY
the Indians.
The most original and primitive way
of marking a boundary was probably
that of Queen Dido and her colony
when they stipulated, before the found
ing of Carthage, for as much land as
could be inclosed by bulls hide. All
tribes belonging to the infancy OF
civilization have like peculiar modes
of reckoning.
From point near the mouth OF the
Miami river extends northwest through
Indiana a boundary known as the
40 O'Clock line" This is one limit Of
an Indian grant. When the tribe had
agreed to cede a portion Of their terri
tory to the whites a meeting was held
for the purpose of marking out the
ground. A surveyor was present and
had mounted his compass and tele-
scope on a tripod. The head man Of
the tribe went up to the instruments,
stared steadily at them for awhile,
grunted and returned to the circle
about the council fire. Not a word
was spoken by any one. Soon another
Indian arose, walked sedately to the
instruments, gravely examined them,
grunted and returned to his place by
the fire. This example was followed
by half a dozen others, after which a
short consultation was held.
The chief then approached the white
men. 'aThat what Indian know" he
said, drawing small circle on the
ground with a stick. THAT what
white man know" drawing a larger
circle round the first. This what no
body know" he added, pointing to
what lay without the last circle.
white man know that" indicating
the instrument. Indian not know it.
Indian know the sun. He never cheat.
Him always same. Him throw shad-
ow. Indian give white man land one
side"
After long consultation it was de-
cided that line drawn in the direc-
| ton in which the sun would cast a
shadow from an agreed point at 10
| O'Clock should be made the boundary.
F, the white man taking the land on one
side and the Indians keeping that on
the other. The other boundaries of
the concession were those Of the origi-
nal territory of the tribe, supplemented
by water courses and other objects.
Such lines have been frequently used
in concluding bargains with the In
dams and have become known as 40
o'clock es."-Minneapolis Journal.

Short Waxa to Multinlx.

Rapid multiplication is always
source of pleasure and profit to the
operator and never fails to cause as
constituent in those who do not know
how it is done. Suppose you wish to
multiply two numbers of two places
each, such as Go and g. The product
can be written in one line by inspection
as follows: Eight times are 40. Put
down for the right hand figure and
carry 4. Add and and multiply the
sum, IS, by 6, obtaining 70, and add 4.
Put down for the next figure and
carry g. Multiply the SIS and add the
8 and put down A for the remaining
numbers. The product is therefore
1920 In this case the tens are alike.
The same method may be used If
the units are alike, thus: What is the
product of Is times 30? Five times 5
are %. Put down and carry 2. Sew
en- and 5 are r. Twelve times are
GO. Add 3 Put down and carry 6.
Seven times 5 are 35. Add the 6 and
write A. The product is 4,125.
The last illustration might be work
ed another way since both of the right
hand figures are and the sum of the
tens gives an even number In such a
case simply write % for the right hand
figures, and for the remaining figures
write the product of the tens increased
by one-half the sum of the tens.-Chi-
cago Record Herald.
