"RUBE" AND THE GIRL
By L. z. BURTON.

"How much longer can I stand it? How much longer-how long-how long-how long?'
 The words drummed in her ears at every beat of the music; every note made the pain in her head more acute, as Nellie Day (whose name on the program was Mile. Eleanor Diem) pi- rouetted and coquetted in the maze of her dance.
 Mile. Diem was the premiere dan seuse of a small company playing "The Circus Lady," a melodrama of the most mellow order, doing one- night stands in the middle west
 Although Nell was the pet of the show, she had incurred the disapprov- al of Henry Sweeny, the big, rough manager, because lately she had fallen off" in her high kicking aud whirling act.
 Sweeney had glared at her and nut tered an oath at the end of the first act, and now she knew a sharp scold- ing would greet her when she re- turned to the dingy dressing room.
 Making her last bow, she smiled right into the eyes of the "Rube" that had followed the show from place to place fer over a week, who every night had occupied a fltnt seat, who had paid scant attention to the other players, but who always led the ap- plause when Mile. Diem appeared.
 The other members of the company teased Nell in a good-natured way about the mash" she had made on the "RuDe."
 Lil and Kid Clay (the Clay sisters) told her she was fool not to go out to supper with him after the show.
 'If you are sQ. tired of this life, why don't you lay off a while and get him to put up for you? He's got the coin!"
 You girls don't understand. He ain't the kind we've been used to. He's good. He never asked me to go to supper after the show, but he took me ridin' in the country once.
 He asked me to call him Theo His names Theophilus Sykes. Ain't that R name for you?"
 AS the curtain descended with the last blare of horn, Nell sank in a little heap on the stage-a heap of crumpled pink tulle, spangles and

Irish National Color.

The color officially recognized for Ireland is blue, St. Patricks blue, and that was anciently and honorably rec ognized as the Irish color In the royal standard of the United King dom the quarter blazoning Ireland shows this field of blue as the back, ground for the golden harp with it's silver strings. The ribbon of the Order of St. Patrick is of the same blue. The green is the revolutionary color and is quite modern Some an- tiquarians maintain that the earliest flag of Ireland was of orange, long antedating the more recent factional use of that color.

cheap saun. Sweeny growled out @ word or two about 'incompetents" and sick folks" but had her carried to the building that bore the name of hotel.
 Then she was put to bed and dosed with bad whisky and water, which failed to revive her.
 Next day the company was forced 10 continue it's tour, leaving Nell be- hind in care of the slatternly wife of the hotel manager. Theophilus, hear ing of her illness, also remained He 1t was who saw that her room was made bright with flowers, wild flow CTS that he gathered in the country lanes early in the morning, when the dew was fresh upon them. He it was who fetched the doctor from a neigh boring town, and who paid for such delicacies as could be obtained at the general store on Main street.
 The day she was able to sit up in the big, old-fashioned rocking chair beside her bed the Rube brought a magnificent bunch of roses and a large box of bonbons tied with wide pink ribbon. These had been sent from Chicago.
 He laid them in her lap; then talk ing her frail, little hand in his big, brown one he stroked the back of it with the tips of his fingers and in a faltering voice hesitated and stumbled thrO1r-rh a 1Nrnpnco1 Of
 Maybe I'm Rube, little girl; but l kin take keer of you Come home with me, home to the farm, and rest all you want to. l don't ask you to love me, yet; but just come en let me keer for you like would my own little sister, if I had one"
 Nell buried her face in the roses; i; their perfume filled the room. With a rush of feeling she knew she loved this man; this "Rube" that all her as. sociates had ridiculed and ioked about. But could she marry him?
 "1-I cant marry you, Theo-I-oh, I'm not good enough to be your wife. You are too good-too honest for a girl like me. T."
 But she got no further. He held her face between his palms, looked straight Into her big, brown eyes eyes that did not waver as they re- turned his gaze.

the sheriff's posse dashed in. with whoops of victory,
 Miss Claire Benson lay sprawled out in graceful and picturesque po- sition.
 Who are you, and how did you happen to butt in heee!"
 She's the girl" answered the brigand leader who had died and come again to life with promptness and dispatch.
 "The girl be hanged! You made a mistake! There is the girl over there ou should have carried off, but she yas late in getting here. Nice sort of thing you've done!"
 Miss Claire recovered her dignity, and as the sheriff" stepped forward and raised his hat she demanded in turn:
 Sir, will you explain this outrage?"
 I'll try to, miss, and beg your par don a thousand times over We are moving picture actors, and are out here acting play for a reel. The girl who was to be carried off by the brigands is a farmers daughter, but through some blunder she didn't reach her assigned place in time. It seems you were there. and the brigands thought it was all right to go ahead. Isn't it so, MT Aldrich?"
 The brigand leader had doffed hat. wig and whiskers and laid aside his guns and bandolier, and he now ap- peared as a fine looking young man. With bow and a smile he said:
 It's my fault, and l cant hope to be forgiven. l think you tried to make an explanation, but it was too ] te then Our cue was out and we lad to hustle. You were in the woods to gather fiowers?"
 His query reminded Miss Claire of that poor chipmunk, and she forgot all else temporarily and cried out:
 Some one must come with me at once! There's poor little animal dying back there!"
 With her hand in Mir. Aldrich's they hastened back to the woods with scarcely @ word between them. and presently arrived at the tragic spot When the chipmunk business had been explained the young man sat down on log and laughed
 It was three months later when MT. Benson felt it his duty to say:
 Claire, I could never give my con- sent to your marrying an actor"
 T don't expect one to ask for my hand" was the reply.
 But this-this MT. Aldrich?"
 "Oh, he went into the coffee trust long ago!"

 q needn't tell you about my life; that other life on the stage?"
 Not a word. You begin to live to- day new life as my wife, Mrs. The ophilus Sykes"
 Her body swayed forward and she buried her face on his shoulder. A little ray of sunlight falling through the window made her fair hair appear like a halo above her pretty head.

GIRL. CAPTURED BY
 BRiGANDS FINDS HERO
By JOHN PHILIP CRTH.

Miss Clare Benson had the pony and phaeton brought around to the door of her fathers house in Bell vile that she might take drive down the Shady Beech road. She stepped into the vehicle, gathered up the lines and gave the pony a cut with the whip and was off A man always utters cluck to start a horse; woman always gives him cut.
 After a drive Of three miles Miss Claire turned out of the road and hitched the pony and then stroTed Into a grove to sit down and think as the summer breeze sighed through the i branches above her head.
 1ha girl thought and thought and Thought! She had got it about settled tn her mind that her hero would never come along, when a chipmunk ran alons the ground before her and dived mto lis burrow.
 Pcor thing--he shall not smother town there because he fears mel" ex- claimed the tender-hearted girl as she rose up and looked around for help.
 In moment more she was running through the woods, thinking she heard the voices of men. She was right about that She hadn't taken a hundred steps when three brigands lying hidden in hollow leaped up and came rushing at her They wore rough clothes; they had long hair | their Whialxar~. of spades and matted with leaves. Seize her aud to horse!" shouted the leader.
 Miss Claire was duly seized. She wanted to stop and explain about that suffering. suffoeating chipmunk, but the brlgands were hustlers and thex. made her hustle, too
 In minute and half three horses were reached. and the leader of the brigands shouted:
 Keep the sheriff off, boys. until I can get little start" And then there were whoops from ! the bushes across a creek. and the . rer orts of firearms from all around, ana Miss Claire was hustled further. , Thst is, the leader mounted his cay use and she was grabbed and hoisted up to him and the beast started off on run for life
 After em. boys!"
 Shoot 'em down like dogs!"
 No quarter to brigands!"
 'KiY! Whoop!"
 Miss Claire only partly lost con. sciousness. It was a wild ride up and down hills-across meadows and | through thickets. and she prayed that the sheriif's party would not fail. It was wonderful how very quickly that suffering chipmunk was forgot ten.
 At length justice prevailed. as 1t al- ways should. but never does when the other man has the most money to spend on lawyers.
