Cinderella and the Prince have come
to life, and mere is a duplicate of the
eastern fable with all the tear draw
ing eleme nts eliminated, and though
modelled on the lines of a fairy story,

took their housekeeper with them to
their summer home in the North last
nd III
them comfortable. as she always did
in her thoroughly efficient way. In
fact, this maid of theirs had come to
be Indispensable to them, and it was
their boast that they had secured to
serve them woman whose ability
and energy in her line of duty could
not be excelled. Next door to this hap
py home, lived a rich man from Co
lumbus with his family who were fast
friends of the family from Topeka.
summer came on, the senior partner
of the firm of which the Columbus
man was a member, arrived on the
scene to spend his holidays by the
lakeside. Now the senior member
was vastly richer than the other, and
besides he was unattached-a widow
er, not too old, but fully old enough
to know what he wanted. He was
at once recognized as a whale of a
catch and the buds, the full-bFown

household. Through the kitchen win
dow he could see her Smelling the
beans (Which is few steps ahead of
picking them out of the ashes), and
he was favorably impressed. Every
day his impression grew stronger, and
he did just what any other sensible
men in his place would have done
made the acquaintance of the servant
in the house." and for the rest of the
summer improved his opportunities for
cultivating her society during her leis-
ure hours. OF course the Junior mem
Der and his household were completely
shocked and scandalized. but they
might just as well have been pleased
for all the difference their objections
made The result is that the Prince is
expected in Topeka soon, and will
bring with him the golden slipper for
the foot he is sure it will fit.
