stall studying them out by the aid of q
lantern. Exhibition midgets get little
schooling, and the captain did not
realize his inamorata's shortcomings
since his own education was even
more sadly neglected than hers. He
cared nothing except that each tiny
missive reiterated the Ich lleb dich,"
which bore comfort to his heart and
gave him courage to face a strange
land. He was at least more fortunate
than Gretchen, because he had Juliet,
the faithful.
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 he had grown attached to Juliet,
the largest elephant of the herd. The
proprietor quick to see his opportuni-
ty, 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 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-
ters were far sweeter 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 a moment.
Thus there had grown up between
them q love almost human In Its In.
tensity. The owner of the menagerie
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-
tent.
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
star. The captain grieved and Juliet
grieved In sympathy.
The two of them had come down
from New York that morning to take
part in q circus in the evening which
was to close the days festivities. II
had been a long, firing trip, and the
captain felt depressed. Even the worn
letters In his pocket failed to bring
him comfort. and, though Juliet Gu
ressed him with her trunk, her efforts
were of no avail, and the captain re-
garded the crowd of pleasure seekers
through tear blinded eyes.
Then the manager of the entertain
ment came clustering up with the
warning that the parade was ready to
start. Juliet swung the captain up to
her neck, and under the direction 0:
his hook she moved Off with stately
tread to take her place at the head OF
the line.
AS the great mass paced along De
tween the lines of eager spectators the
captain no longer watched the crowd
His thoughts were far away across the
water with the little madchen.

Captain Kidd's

with sympathetic pat that very near.
ly took the diminutive captain off his
feet.
It's too bad, Juliet" he said softly.
IF Gretchen were here now to enjoy
this, how happy we should bew The
captains glance roamed over the gay
crowd. 1t was the day of the chill
dren's parade at q seaside resort. and
the throng of miniature men and wo-
men In their fnery 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 caressingly
around the captains neck.
Perhaps she knew of what he was
thinking. Perhaps it was only the IN
stinct of dumb brute, but the captain
was comforted by her caress. For If
teen years he and Juliet had Travelled
through the world together, and there
had sprung up between them love
that until the appearance Of Gretchen
had been full and complete. Juliet
still lavished upon her trainer the
wealth of her elephantine love, but
the captain had divided his heart be-
tween the elephant and the dainty lit
tie woman whom he met In Paris Just
before he had sailed for America.
When the Snowman who paid him
his salary had ordered him to 90 to the
strange land, he had begged Gretchen
to accompany him. She had been will
Ing enough, but the director of the
troupe Of lilliputians would not give
his consent to losing one of his most
valuable little players. He had hired
Gretchen from her mother.
When the dwarfs had parted In the
big arena In Paris she had promised to
always be true to him and had limited
that perhaps she might manage to
come to him some time. He had given
her his address, written on q scrap of
programme, and the short, misspelled
letters she had sent were tucked into
the pocket of the gay uniform coat
and brought comfort to him in the
long nights when he lay In Juliet's

Appreciative Lines From the Pen Of
J. V. D. S. Merrill.
There is living today in this village
a gentleman who by reason of physi
cal infirmities is denied the great
pleasure of walking our beautiful
streets and mingling with old time
friends. Occasionally he is to be seen
riding about, yet we can remember,
how in boyhood days we walked in
the shady recesses of Mount Anthony
or fingered long about what to us at
that period was most wonderful, the
famous cave, situated upon the cas-
tern slope of the mountain Again we
walked in other directions frequently
passed where the battle monument
now stands and fingered to look upon
the landscape below the great beauty
of which delighted my companions
artistic eyes. Down the steep north
hill we pursued our way bound for the
old red bridge and the river which
flowed under il.
On our journey down the long hill
we passed a modest home whose in
mates were our friends father. mother
and children. The old structure
long since passed from sight likewise
many of the once happy circle. OF
the younger members two live far
away. Associated with the hillside
home was John H. Bahan, whose
death occurred Sunday after a lin
gering illness. John II. Bahan was a
kind neighbor a loyal friend and an
honest man He was n tirplase work.

the Electric Companys Pond By Acting Mean Around the Property What
FIVE AuTolsTs KILLED
Brakes Snapped and Machine Went
over 35-Foot Embankment.

San Francisco Aug. 3.-Five per-
sons were killed and two were in
jured near Burlingame, the fashion
able suburb when a large automobile
occupied by FIVE women and two chill
dren plunged down a steep embank-
ment as the result of the swapping of
the brakes. The dead Mrs. Thomas
A. Mccormick, Miss Clara Mccormick
aged lS; Robert T. O'Brien, son of
Mrs. Ira G. O'Brien, Ira OBrien, Jr.,
aged years, Mrs. Ira G. O'Brien. The
injured Mrs. McCauly, dangerously
and painfully; Miss Ethel McCor-
mick painfully. Coming down a steep
grade near Crystal lake, Miss Ethel
Mccormick, who was at the wheel en-
deavored to check the speed of the
car by applying the foot brake. 1t
failed to hold the automobile, which
was rapidly gaining additional head
way down the hill and Miss McCor-
mick hastily threw on the emergency
brakes. They snapped almost instant
ly.
Fearing that she could not guide the
huge car in safety to the bottom of
the grade on account of the sharp
turns in the road, the young woman
endeavored to steer it against the
high bank on the right, believing that
the friction on the wheels would bring
it to a stop. The front wheel, how
ever, struck a large rock, swerved
sharply to the left and the next mo-
ment the car plunged down the steep
embankment, striking 80 feet below
against a large tree.
