What NspoI.on couIdn,t Do.

An incident connected with Napoleon
when he was in exile in Elba is COM
memorated on the island to this day
by an inscription affixed to the wall of
a PEASANTS house: A man named Gia-
conf was blowing when the famous
exile came along one day and ex-
pressed an interest in his work. Ma
poIeon even took the pillow handles and
attempted to guide it himself, but the
oxen refused to obey him, overturned
the plow and spoiled the furrow. The
inscription runs thus:
Napoleon the Great. passing by this
place in MDCCCXIV, took in the
neighboring field a plow from the
hands of a peasant and himself tried
to plow. but the oxen, rebellious to
those hands which yet had guided Eu-
rope. headlong fled from the furrow."

The Turn of
the Die
By SfGrbuck Baxter

As Jefferson Jones entered his
boarding house, his landlady, who had
evidently been waiting for him,
stepped forward and tapped him on
the arm.
Jones turned. a hastily formulated
excuse for his lucreless state at his
tongues end. Then he paused and
stopped to stare. surprised. In the
eiaw-like hand extended toward him
were two bils-ten-dollar bills-and
the vinegary face Of his erstwhile ne
mesis was slit in a maidenish shipper.
Take them. Mr.. Jones" The voice
OF the virago was as soft as melting
tar on a hot roof in July. Take them,
dear Mr.. Jones. And please pardon
me for daring to make such an uncon-
ventional offer. but-o, am interest
ed in you. dear Mr.. Jones, and
know you are-temporarily OF course
embarrassed"
Jones gasped. After a slight pres
sure his landlady withdrew her flesh
less digits from the clammy palm OF
the youth and vanished into her own
parlor.
Jones had reason to gasp. He, un-
fortunate dry goods clerk, out of Job,
was owing this woman three weeks
board, and no later than this morning
he had been told that that day must
either see its liquidation, or his quit
lance, minus trunk. from the smelly
institution.
Faring forth with a heavy heart
and scant prospects he found nothing
TO buoy the valvular organ and his re-
turn to Miss GrufTley's food emporium
was a trip fraught with a disagreeable
premonition Of what was to come.
Jefferson Jones had not always been
a delinquent There had been a time
not so many weeks back when he had
stripped his board money from a sub
stantial roll at each week end. and
none had been prompter than he

nitys back hair.
Jones noted the sudden thawing Of
Miss Gruffley with kindred feelings Of
relief and suspicion. He even failed,
in his perturbed moment, to thank the
lady for her loan or ask the reason OF
this sudden burst of confidence.
II was changed Jefferson who
peered at his reflection In the wry mir
ror of his hall room. With touch of
his old pride the youth seized brush
and comb and carefully worked his
thick hair into a part The black OF

was no wonder that. with his easy
carriage and broad shoulders. Janet
Milton loved him. A photograph OF
her stood on the dingy dresser. and
jefferson turned to gaze admiringiy at
this before descending.
The picture was done by one OF the
best artists in the city. One keen at
analysis taking this into consideration
with the party gown. the proud look OF
her. the dalntily arranged hair OF the
maid. would say that Jefferson Jones
was ambitious; that he aspired above
HIS station.
Janet Milton and the Jones youth
were friends Of long standing. Their
acquaintance traced back to early
davs IN Rousville where Janet In pig
tails and prim, neatly-starched dresses
came out OF the far city. ostensibly to
visit her aunt, but in reality to play
With the freckled lad next door.
