A Hero of
Romance.

Literary Press.

Enders had penchant for new
faces. He could always be depended
on to play the gallant to any fair look
ing stranger within Hightown gates.
He was twenty-seven, well born, mas
ter Of a moderate fortune and head of
q thriving business. Naturally the fair
visitors felt tlattered, even honored, by
his attentions. though warned in the
outset that no serious intentions lay
behind them.
Crank Endcrs is a goose-the most
delightful goose in the world, but none
the less goose" said Mrs. Lawton,
lady paramount Of Hightown society.
Saying it was her privilege. She had
stood godmother to him and in way
mothered him after his own mother
died.

the lady would run on. "He is quick
to see the charms. the virtues, of all
the nice girls trot out before him.
yet aggravatingly expects to find ev-
cry one of those charms and virtues
combined in some impossible she.'"
When she said as much to Enders
himself, it made him laugh heartily.
He knew the root Of Aunt lsabel's
bitterness. She had been making
matches for him since he left off

rOundabOutS. If he knew his own
mind, he was abstractly rather anx-
ious to be married. but so far had
never seen exactly the woman he
would choose us his mate.
He had definite mental image of
her. She must he slim and young,
with eyes innocent, yet sparkling, and
with a rosebud mouth; bright, but not
bookish; we'll bred. of course; gracious,
yet with dashes of temper; reverent,
gay, even almost frivolous, she would
one day dance into his heart and stay
there always.
He believed it firmly; hence there
was no thought of danger, of anything,
indeed. but Il new experience, when
lie found himself upon Hightown's
main street very early in the morning
confronted With tall woman, slight
and tired locking, who held up her
hand in arrest. asking imperatively,
"WIl you take a lone woman stranded
and stranger Observation-Disclosures
SO she can get something to eat?''
Certainly" he said, with reassur-
i
out thus before breakfast! If you
don't mind. Ill take you home with
Inc. My aunt will make you very
welcome, and somehow l rather hate
to think Of you at our hotel. It's
disgrace to Hightown, but we dare not
have 1t better. If it were better the
summer boarder would descend on
u.s.
"Oh! Is it possible any place has es-
caped?" the stranger interrupted. En-
ders smiled again. She had delicious
voice-soft. clear. vibrant, with the
least possible drawl. She was dressed
very quietly but very well-even his
masculine ignorance was aware of the
fact.
You are doing dangerous thing"
she ran on, 'if you speak true. High
town may never get rid of me. I'm
so sick and tired of boarders and all
their works."
They were approaching his own door.
The stranger somehow sensed the fact.
She shut the laugh from her eyes, the
merry curves from her lips. stood very
straight and held out card to him,
saying primly: II hope that vouches
for me sufficiently. Miss Maxwell is a
respectable enough person. Your name
is'-
"Enders - Frank Enders at your
service" Enders said quickly. She
gave him quick look. After sec.
ond or two she said softly. the within.

An unexpeeted Reply.

A very demure little Frenchwoman,
who teaches her native tongue in a
we'll known southern college, learned
recently, under embarrassing circum-
stances. that it is not always safe to
accept as final standard of correct
English what one may casually hear.
One night at supper the president Of
the college announced to the assem-
bled young ladies and teachers that an
informal musical program would be
given presently in the college chapel
Turning to the dainty Parisienne
who In addition to her other accom-
plishments plays the piano we'll. he
said:
"Perhaps Nine. Petit will be so good
as to assist u.s."
The lady addressed arose and coyly
replied:

premises me burglars left with the
usual threat to kill any one giving an
alarm within certain time.
The next morning Dolan read an
account of the robbery in the morning
papers and noted a statement that
hopes were entertained that the bur.
glar who had weakened IL offered i'm
munity might be induced to turn
states evidence. Dolan paled. The
three had separated before daylight,
and he could not reach Mike till even
ing. During the day he resolved to
put his assistant where he would tell
no tales-under the sod-and revolved
In his mind methods for doing 80.
Mike did not read the account Of his
weakening, but his mind was made
up as to his future course. Scarcely
had the plundered family finished
breakfast when it was announced that
man was outside with information
concerning the robbery. 1t proved to
be Mike, who then and there confessed
his share in the robbery.
Mike Tiernan was not prosecuted.
The man whose property he had been
instrumental in restoring gave him
employment, and the Tiernan family
is now living in comparative comfort.
Mike has no fears till Dolan and Muir
ply shall have served a twenty year
sentence, but that is long while. In
the meantime he is working hard,
the only sore spot in his mind being
his one connection with criminals.
Mike Tiernan was turned to crime
through an unselfish motive, love for
his child. He was turned away from
crime by being reminded Of his boy
by the child he had taken in his arms.
Surely the innocence Of childhood Is
all powerful.

express. Their arrival was announced
to her when Professor Mikleman was
with her. He looked curious, where
upon she told him they contained
tombstones that she had ordered for
her family lot In a cemetery In Amer
lea.
On the return to Paris after ten
days absence examining Professor
Mikleman's excavations he announced
that he was going to dig for Nelodu-
mum on the new site. Miss MARYLAND
persuaded him to consult with other
eminent excavators, and this further
delayed him. When he was ready to
proceed Miss MARYLAND induced her
brother. who was graduate Of an
American university and great schol-
ar. to take an interest In the matter,
and the two went with the professor
to the spot to be excavated. He Or
dered several holes dug when Miss
MARYLAND suggested digging on a spot
near where some one had driven in
peg. The professor did not notice the
peg, for Miss. MARYLAND was standing
on 1t. The workmen went down six
feet and brought up Roman helmet,
a piece Of broken .statuary and half
dozen arrows in quick succession.
The professor was much excited.
A number Of coins, mostly Roman;
an earthen pitcher, greave and a Ro-
man short sword came next.
The professor was in ecstasies.
The next article was evidently quite
large, for the workmen were obliged
to dig about It. Finally they got It
out. When the professor saw It he
danced about. crying. '"rhe head Of a
ram!' and. not knowing what he did,
threw his arms about Miss Markland's
neck. 1t was some time before she
could quiet him sufficiently for him to
explain that the rams head was
Roman weapon for battering walls.
Well, Professor Mikleman, though
he found articles only within limited
region, became famous for correcting
noted excavators as to the location Of
Nelodunum. He attributed his success
to Miss. MARYLAND and told her he
could not possibly live without her.
Shortly before the wedding Miss
MARYLAND paid two bills-one to Clio
vanni Cuitimari, a relic dealer, for
four boxes Of relics, the other to Jean
5autier. contractor, for burying the
articles. SALL1E MENDUM.

by the fine polish on the grains. Wheat
that has been through the hospital for

The wheat grains, in truth, shone so
that one could almost see ones face in
them.
