Captain Kidd gave Il sigh that SHOOK
his three feet foul inches OF stature
and looked 40 at Juliet. Juliet. the Gle
plant idol IF circus %oers, responded
with a sympathetic pat that very near-
ly took the diminutive captain off his
feet.
Its too bad, Juliet" he said softly.
IF Gretchen We're 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 Il seaside resort, and
the throng of miniature men and wo-
men in their finery reminded Captain
Kidd more than ever of his WI 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 a dumb brute, but the captain
was comforted by her caress. For fif-
teen years he and Juliet had Travelled
through the world together, and there
had sprung up between them a 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 go 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 a 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

1t is a high tribute 10 the house

generations have planted Ferry's
Seeds, each succeeding year adding
to the confidence that s'seed t1ouble''
will never arise when Ferry's seeds
are planted as "Ferry's Seed Annual''

Another remarkable feature deve]-

method of distributing seeds to

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 oe
his hook she moved off with stately
tread to take her place at the head of
the line.
AS the great mass paced along be-
tween the lines of eager spectators the
captain no longer watched the crowd.
His thoughts We're far away acros the
water with the little madchen.
Juliet proudly led the way. enjoying
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
crowd.
n cry of terror reused the captain
from his day dreaming. Juliet was
excitedly trying to force her way
through the crowd. which broke and
scattered before her. Captain used the
hook on ears and trunk; but, though
Juliet trumpeted shrilly in her pain.
she obeyed neither hook nor voice. A
dozen alert policemen sought to break
her charge, but they hastily lodged
aside at her approach. Then a cry of
horror ran through the crowd.
A little girl, evidently n Of the pa
raiders on her way to the start. stood
directly in the elephants path. One
of the policemen sprang to her rescue.
but before he could reach her Juliet
had caught her around the waist and
had lifted her high in the air.
Strong men turned aside that they
might not see the child dashed to
earth again, while others stood fasci-
mated by the sight. But instead of in
juring the child Juliet swung her light
ly back to the captain. who caught
her in his arms with a cry of JOY.
Juliet then swung her huge hulk and
docilely returned to the parade with
the captain still holding Gretchen with
one arm. while With the other he pat
ted the trunk that was held up for a
sugary reward.
"My impresario died. Gretchen
was explaining. 81 ran away and

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 WI education was even
more sadly neglected than hers. He
cared nothing except that each tiny
missive reiterated the 'Ich Heb dich."
which bore comfort to his heart and
gave him courage to face q 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 a 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 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 a love almost human in it's in.
tensity. The owner of the menaperie
had finally permitted the captain t.
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 tt
purchase Gretchen's release from hel
contract. In time he could manage te
save up enough, SO he tried to be con
tent.
But here at the beach the sight O
the children in their fancy dresses pu
him strongly in mind of the little
troupe of which Gretchen was the
star. The captain grieved and Julie
grievea in sympathy.
The two of them had come dowr
from New York that morning to take
part IN a circus in the evening which
was to close the days festivities. Il
had been q long, firing trip. and The
