A1ny's
Prophecy
CLARA HAIGHT

Even the gypsy camp with its bevy
of fortune tellers was relegated to
the rear when Colonel Kirkham en-
tered. Youngsters who had heard Of
the colonel's mighty exploits in the
Philippines gathered to stare art
lessly at the hero, whom Auburn
dale claimed as its own, and the
girls swarmed about him, glad that
their chance books provided an OPP
portunity Of speaking to the man
who had done things.
Back in the knitted goods booth
Miss Martha Nellis shrunk into the
shadow and tears filled her eyes. The
sight of the colonePs hair touched
with gray reminded her that she, too,
was growing old. His hair had been
black that night when she had re-
fused him, and he had gone off to
join his company declaring that he
would never return to Auburndale.
Ever since she had heard that he
was coming her heart had been in a
flutter, though outwardly she was as
calm and placid as ever. The years
had touched her lightly. Her hair
was still brown and thick, and scarce
line marked her face, but she
shrank from the thought that she
was thirty-seven-far beyond the age
of romance.
She looked now with tear-dimmed
eyes to where the colonel was laugh
ing off far more persistent attack
than any he had experienced in the
island possessions. With the skill of
an old campaigner he fought most
of them off but Amy knight would
not be dismissed.
"But just think" she pleaded. "A
dollar for diamond ring"
81 don't see how you can do it for
the price," he declared. "Do you give
the prize with every ticket?"
"Only with this one-the last one
left" she cduntered. "I'll get the
ring and show you"
She darted off to the booth where
the prizes were displayed, and came

HAS TURTLES WELL TRAINED
Naturalist Seems to Have Accom-
pIished Something Very Close to
the impossible.

Of all living creatures the turtle
is undoubtedly the slowest in its
movemen and probably possesses the
least brain. Yet well-known
American naturalist has succeeded
in training three of these creatures
to do number of little tricks. He
places them, one above the other on
spools, and if piece Of cabbage or
other green stuff is held out in
front Of them, they will make a
complete circuit, all moving in uni
son, keeping their balance and not
tumbling off. The bigger turtle will
also ring a bell. This it grasps in
one of its fore feet, jerks it off the
ground, and then gives it a shake.
1t is quite amusing to watch the
slow, deliberate manner in which
this is done. The turtles have al
ways lived in their owners house,
spending their time in the kitchen
hunting down the vermin. One of
the turtles draws little cart about
the garden, task which he appar-
emily does not resent in the least.
Of course he is never kept harnessed
for any length of time. He is quite
tame, follows the children about the
garden, and will even eat from their
fingers.

OLD AcQUAINTANcEs.

Lord Kames used to relate with
great gusto a story Of man who
claimed the honor of his acquaint-
anceship on singular grounds. His
lordship, when one of the Scottish
judiciary judges, returning from the
northern circuit to Perth, happened
one night to sleep at Dunkeld. The
next morning, walking toward the
ferry, but fearing he had missed his
way, he asked man whom he met
to conduct him. The person accost-
ed answered with the utmost cordial
ity.
"That I will do with all my heart,
my lord. Does not your lordship re-
member me? My names, John
Thomson; 1 have had the honor to
be before your lordship for stealing
sheep"
ooh, John, I remember you well, !"
exclaimed the Judge. "And how is
your wife? She had the honor to
be before me, too, for receiving
them, knowing them to be stolen"
"At your lordship's service. We
were very lucky indeed to get off for
want of evidence. l am still at the
butchering trade"
t'Then," rejoined his lordship, eve
may have the honor of meeting
again."-Tit-Bits.

hurrying back with the little plush
covered box.
"But this is a lady's ring" pro-
tested the colonel in mock dismay.
SWhat use will I have for that?"
"You never can tell when it will
come in handy" she declared, oracu-
larly. 81 am seeress and I foresee
that you will need it"
She held out the chance invitingly
and the colonel good-naturedly
passed over a SIS bill.
"No change" she remarked, ''but
it's cheap at that price. Pm the sew
enth daughter of a seventh daughter
and l know"
The colonel slipped the numbered
card into his pocket and passed on
down the attractive line of booths.
If he fingered longest at the knit
ting booth no one noticed it except
sharp-eyed Amy.
81 think it's shame" she con-
fided to Frank Ford. "The colonel
doesn't know that Miss Martha re-
fused him because she thought her
sister loved him. She was always
giving up to that girl and it broke
her heart when Kate Nellis ran off
with that music teacher. Scne one
ought to tell the colonel"
'"Not me-" protested Frank. GIVE

RESENTED sLUR ON VICTORIA
"Orator" on London Street Found
Crowd Put Decided Limit
on Free Speech.

At Marlborough street John Bon
mar Thompson, a public speaker,
was charged with doing an act cal
culated to provoke a breach of the
peace whilst lecturing in Hyde
Park.
William Buckley, an ex-police
constable, said he heard the accused
referring to the late Queen Victoria
as a gin drinker. The crowd round
the prisoner became very excited,
and, a constable arriving on the
scene, the accused was arrested.
William Hollins, a painter, said
the crowd shouted to the prisoner !:
"You ought to be whipped"
The prisoner, in defense, said he
was a socialist, but he denied refer
ring to the late Queen Victoria as
alleged.
Mr.. Mead said that if the pris-
oner had any regard for his own
skin he had better not repeat his
conduct. He would have to pay a
fine of 40 shillings, or in default 60
to prison for month.
The Prisoner Can I have time
to pay?

would thank us for interfering with
his love affairs"
s'But suppose he wins the ring"
she limited. "He would have to give
it to someone, you know. It might
be Miss Martha"
'sUh huh," assented Frank Ford,
enthusiastically. "And then again,
it might not"
"But you can at least try" she in-
sisted. "You will draw the prizes.
If the colonel gets the ring"
She did not need to complete the
sentence. A glance at her own slen-
der hand, devoid Of jewels, was sig
nifcant and SO it happened that
when the drawing took place it was
the colonel's number that was drawn
from the box.
II told you that you would win"
cried Amy delightedly, as she gave
him the box.
$50 far the prophecy is fulfilled, !"
he said with bow. "But the rest"
93That also," said Amy, positively.
"Surely the brave deserve the fair. !"
NEATLY turned" he laughed ap-
preciatively. Amy saw him turn
toward the knitting booth, and, in
her joy, allowed Ford to squeeze her
hand in an outrageously public man
ner.
The knitting booth was in one
corner, and that farthest from the
platform where the drawings were
Icing held. The crowd had gathered
to watch the drawing and Miss Mar
tina sat alone in the booth.
MARTHA" the colonel said, with
soldierly directness, II just won the
ring: a solitaire. You refused the
last one 1 offered. I believe it was
because you thought Kate wanted
me. VIII you refuse this one? I
have come half way around the
globe to ask YOU"
"There are others-younger," she
gasped, though the soft lights shone
in her eyes.
! ''Thcre are Others" he agreed,
sand younger, but I want you, dear.
Will you put happiness away a Sec
ond time?"
"No, DEAR" she said softly.
"Lct's get out of this" said the
colonel, impetuously. "Send for
some one else to be storekeeper."
Don't you want to go over and
watch the drawings suggested
Amy, coming up at that moment. 81
will watch the booth for you"
Miss Martha smiled gratefully al
the girl as she slipped out. The
colonel put a forefnger under the
dimpled chin.
Il don't know to just what degree
you assisted fate" he smiled, know.
ingly. "But / hope there is some
one to make you as happy as you
have made me-"
And Amy, glancing across the
hall to where Ford was completing
his labors, answered saucily:
'What's the use of being sS,yl
unless you can wish good luck on
yourself, too"

PRIMITIVE COFFEE MILL.

Coffee must undergo considerable
treatment before it is ready for the
coffee pot. The great coffee planta-
lions in South America, today are
equipped with modern machinery,
but in out of the way places the old
primitive methods Of handling cof-
fee are still in vogue. The outer
covering of the coffee bean must be
removed before the berry can be
dried. This pulping, as it is called,
necessitates an immense amount Of
labor.

Sounds Warning.

III the duties of lawmaking and
interpreting the laws are pushed upon
the people OF this country, one-man
rule will inevitably result. The COM
munity is bound to center its conf.
dence In certain men who represent
their sentiments at the time. The gov
eminent will eventually become a
one-man system, and this man Will
