POWER OF POLITENESS

MIKE DONOVAN the bully of the town
1~A He had fought many and had no difficulty in
finding cause for quarrel. All knew him and were
anxious to avoid collision. He could whip anyone
and he knew his power. He always demanded his
rights and many the occasions when he
wrested them from others.
One day when he was walking along road in the
country and was about to foot bridge, which
was large enough only for one to pass at a time, he
saw a man approach who would evidently be on the
bridge at the same time with him. He ChuCkled to
himself See how II make the old gent go back and
give me right of way! I'll throw him in the water if
he obiectS!
The man, who was polite and kindly disposed
meeting Mike in the middle of the bridge just when
Mike was ready to make his demands, said in cour
teous manner My friend see you going the
bridge in the opposite direction from me will give
way to YOU and let you go ahead you have started;
but | shall thank you if you will help me back"
The pugnacious Irshman at once lost his combat
i've spirit Nivver a bit of it, he said. Gou shall
90 straight in your way and | will help you
across" Mike thereupon took his hand and helped
him over the bridge, and then bade him adeu with
MANY professions of friendneSs
Mike felt good all day, and proud of the
service he had rendered than if he had whipped
dozen men and enforced his rights" Ill easily
conquered by kindness when he could not have been
by force.

petuous crashing among the underground, and all
eyes turned to see what was approaching.
A instant later a second bull about the size of
the first but much darker in coloring, broke
flriousy through the bushes. He rushed about
halfway down the sandSpit and then stopped snort
ing and blowing defiance.
The newcomer had a magnificent set of antlers;
but Neville Baker at that moment had no thought

possession and jealous mastery seemed to rush to
his head. Thrusting aside the two COWS, who stood
huddled IN his path, with a furious bOoing grunt he
lurched forward to meet the challenger.
With lowered heads noses between their knees,
and the branching spikes of their anters presented

shock and a snort. The hard horn clashed with the
dry resonance Of seasoned wood And, being of
about equal size, both wthstoOd the shock. Both
staggered: but. recovering themselves si1nultane-

their sralnng. heavlng bodies, their hoos digging
deep into the sand.
Then on a sudden as if the same idea had at the
same instant flashed into both their seethng brains
they disengaged and jumped backward.
For several tense seconds, which seemed minutes
to the eager watchers in the fir thicket they stood
eying each other like wary gladiators antlers down.
while the big eyed COWS, with ears slowly waving,
looked placidly, and the moon, now full risen,
flooded the whole scene with lavish radiance. The
only of the unruied COWS was that the best
bull should win and with proved mastery compel
their allegiance
Suddenly the newcomer the dark bull as if to get
around his adyersarys guard, feinted to the right
and then lunged straight forward. But the white
bull was too experienced TO be caught by such well

white bull recovered himself completely and re-
gained his lost ground. Both COmbatants paused for
breath and the fight hung exactly in the balance.
Judging from his anters, the white bull was the
elder, and therefore, may suppose the craftier
duelist. 1t occurred to him now, perhaps that
against foe nearly his equal in strength he must
seek some advantage in strategy He made sud
den movement to diSengage his antlers and jump
backward. The intention obvious to the trained
eyes watching from the thiCket; but it failed curl
ousy AT the instant of his effort the dark bull had
surged forward with violence Not meeting the
pected resistance he taken by surprise and sank
on his knees The white bull quick to feel the ad-
forward with ali his weight. For moment the dark
bull seemed to crumple up, his rivals heaving
shoulders lowered above him.
See grunted Uncle Adam.
NOV this was the white bulls chance 1t was for
him to roll his enemy over, disengagee, rip the
dark bulls unfortunate flank, and tread him down.
But he did nothing of the sort. He himself stag
gered forward with the fall of his adversary. Then
he drew back again; but slowly. With the motion
his adversary reganed his feet. And once more the
two stood armed front to front, gruntng, stranng,
heayjng but neither giving ground an inch
lieve they're lOcbed!'
For half a minute Uncle Adam made no reply.
Then he nodded Locked, sure enough" he
agreed.
But what was so clear to the spectators was ap-
parently not yet recognized by the combatants; be-
cause when either tried to back free 50 to renew
the attack more advantageousy it seemed to him
quite natural that the other should tierCey follow
him up. In the struggle they pivoted completely
round more than once and the two COWS, percelV
ing something unusual in the combat, drew off with
an ANNOYED air to the extremity of the sandspit.
Little by little the white bull appeared to be getting
shade the better of the duel; for at last regainng
his first position he to be forcing his rival

were tugging frantically to break apart.
Struggle as they might however their struggle
was utterly in vain. The tough strong horn of their
new antlers was never SO slightly elastic. 1t had
Yielded under the impact of their last charge, just

extricably and nexorably fastened together and in
horrid attitude, in which it impossible to feed
or even to straighten up their bowed necks.

white bull had the best of it. He had slightly the
advantage in weight. Little by little he dragged his

The American sank back in his chair.
Suddenly he became conscious OF
disquieting feeling that some one was
looking at him intently from behind.
He turned in his chair and found him
self meeting the gaze Of ferocious
looking, military appearing little man
at a table near by. His waiter ap-
peared at his elbow with the change.
who the devil is that old man at
the table there?" demanded young Mr.,
King loudly.
The waiter assumed look Of ex-

"Yes. What's he looking 80 hard at
me for? Does he think I'm pick

"You know as much as I. sir" was
all that the waiter said in reply. King
pocketed the coin he had intended for
the fellow and deliberately left the
place. AS he sauntered across the lit
tie square his gaze suddenly shifted to
a second story window above the gun
shop.
The interesting young woman had
cautiously pushed open one OF the
shutters and was peering down upon
a trio Of red coated guardsmen. AL
most at the same instant her quick,
eager gaze fell upon the tall American,
now quite close to the horseInen He
saw her dark eyes expand as II with
surprise. The next instant he caught
his breath and almost stopped in his
tracks.
A shy, impulsive smile played about
her red lips for a second, lighting up
the delicate face with a radiance that
amazed him. Then the shutter was
closed gently, quickly. He felt his ears
burn as he abruptly turned away.
In the meantime Baron Dangloss was
watching him covertly from the edge
Of the cafe garden across the square.

of the prince by marriage. The Duke
of Perse Is the father Of the unhappy
Countess Insomede, the young and
beautiful wife of the exiled Iron Count
Marlanx. No doubt you're heard Of
him."
Il remember that he was banished
from the principality."
"Quite true, sir. He was banished
in 1901 and now resides on his estates
in Austria. Three years ago in Buda-
pest he was married to Ingomede, the
daughter Of the duke. Count Marlanx
has great influence at the Austrian
court. The Duke Of Perse realized this
when he compelled his daughter to ac-
cept him as her husband. The fair
Ingomede is less than twenty-five
years Of age. The Iron Count is fully
sixty five."

Yes. Have you not heard Of John

Sprantz gave him a whitening look'
as much as to say that he was a fool
to ask such a question in a place so
