Trained Cow This Girls Pet.

LYDIA Thompson of Springfield,
Mass, has an unusual pet, Holstein
cow three years old. 1t is safe to
say that very few other children in
the country, if an, own such favor
lite. OF course, her father has done
most of the training, but LYDIA. being
skilled in the handling of animals, has
had her share in bringing about the
results.
The little COW has been named Dia-
nond, a name which is explained
when you look at her forehead. LYDIA
says, Shake hands, Diamond" and a
right hoof is lifted into her hand.
Then the order is given for the other
hcof and the response is just as
prompt.
Now, Diamond, down." says Lydia,
and down goes the Holstein on her
knees. She stays there as if it were
the easiest thing in the world for a
cumbersome creature like a COW to
remain in that position.
Diamond will at command raise her
head until it is level with her masters
face when he is standing and kiss
him. She also permits LYDIA to ride
her about the fields. 1t is doubtless
true, as Mr. Thompson says, that this
COW might have been trained to do
things worthy of a circus performer.
She seems to be willing to do any.

And, as he looked up, straining his
eyes to catch clearer glimpse of the
figure behind the curtain, suddenly
the window was thrown wide open
and the youthful figure of the prince
looked out.
1t was Prince Edward. There was
no mistaking him! None could have
mistaken that characteristic figure,
that bright, English face, the profile

For a fraction of moment he felt
her hand in his, and then he knew
that, whatever the part which she
must play, her love was his. Some
day, when all their sufferings were
ended. he would take her home with
him, to dwell in peace and quiet for
all their lives in his own land
Home! The thought, the memory of
it burned in his heart and gave him
new resolution. He buttoned his coat
tightly and hurried away from the res
taurant toward the marquis town
house.
But 1t was five miles from the Cafe
Celestiel to that fashionable neighbor-
hood where the Marquis de Breteuil
resided, and Paul. when about to hail
a taxicab, discovered to his consterna-
ton that he had no money in his
pocket. He knew no one from whom
to borrow in that region. 1t was al
most as far to Lord Claude's abode as
to that of the marquis. There was
nothing to do but to walk. So he

and, fiinging himself down upon the

that the first two men were Manuel

the supposed prince, his second, and
a man who carried little black case
and was evidently doctor.
The parties saluted formally. and
the man with the case stepped for

Manuels second. Then, being joined
by their parties. they stationed them
in chosen places, some fifteen PAGES
apart. And, as the man with the case
opened 1t, Paul perceived to his hor-
ror that the case did not contain
surgical supplies.
1t contained two pistols. This was
evidently to be duel loutrance.
And one of the combatants would

That the duel was to be a serious

commonly done in encounters when
only honor is sought. The principals

BLACK PIN A CLEW
Owners Go Into Consultation to Con-

Chicago-When Mr.. and Mrs. H. L.
Giuldner of 512 Deming place came
home the other night the husband de-
tected the fact that a square ycrd OF
plate glass had been removed from
the front door. ..r.
Somebody has been here" he told
his wife with conviction.
She could not logically dispute the
statement, but few minutes later her
turn came-when her eyes caught
sight of a little black pin on her
dressing table. .- ......4
"A woman has been here" de-
clared Mrs. Guildner, for she never
uses black pins. -..
So the police were at once informed
that an intrepid lady burglar" hal
removed a panel from the front door,
ransacked the house, made her selac-
tons with a good deal of discrimina-
ton, and departed.
Have you any clue-something
like description of the LADY," asked
the detective who was summsned
from the Sheffield avenue station.
We'll, let me think" said Mrs.
Guilder. "Of course, didn't see her,
you understand, but-oh, yes, she
wears a beautiful Knight Templar
plume in her hat"
'Marvelous-my name must be
Watson" the detective said And
then ne and Mr.. and Mrs. Guildner
went into consultation to reconstruct
in proper order the acts of the bur-
glar, beginning Immediately after the

knew Clothilde well enough to be sure
that she would never disclose her
identity.
He made his way drunkenly to-
ward the corner in which he and
Clothilde had sat. A scrap Of paper
was lying upon one of the chairs.
Paul opened it mechanically and saw
a scrap of writing upon it. He read:
"The little park in the Bots at five"
The blood tingled in his veins. Clo-
thilde, in the supreme moment of the
challenge, had, then, found time some
how to indite that note to him, know
ing that he would come back, and
trusting that he would discover It..
Paul knew the little park-an unfre-
quented glade, one of the score and
more in which duelists met to settle
their differences. Perhaps Clothilde
had hoped that Paul would contrive
some method of saving her from the
steel of Manuel. The duel would be
farcical, for the young sovereign had
been trained from boyhood in the ra-
pier. Paul shuddered and racked his
brains furiously as he endeavored to
cogitate upon the next step which
should be taken.
1t was a quarter before four. He
had no time to go to Lord Tresham's
house He must decide Immediately.
If he set out at once he could reach
the duelling ground some fifteen min
utes before the appointed time. And
come what might, the duel must be
stopped. He thought only of Clothilde!
He had already forgotten his mission.
The pale light of the summer morn
ing had already begun to make the
trees and paths distinguishable when
Paul arrived at the gate of the Bots
nearest to the dueling ground. 1t
was twenty minutes to five. He
euickened his steps, directing them

George, who would believe the
princes own story that he had spent
the night quietly at home. when the
newspapers would be full of his night
adventure in the Cafe Celestiel?
Truly Won Holzrath had hit upon a
cunning scheme, and one which far
transcribed the vulgar vice of kid
mapping the heir apparent.
Paul's resolution was made up in an
instant. He must hurry back to the
Cafe Celestiel, acquaint Clothilde with
the truth about the affair, and force
her, by any means in his power, to
accompany him to Lord Claudes
house and there reveal the details of
the conspiracy
So he set doggedly to tramp back
again through the long streets and
over the bridge. And, when at last
he reached his destination. it was
twenty minutes past three.
The Cafe Celestiel was still bril-
liant with lights, and the band still
played, but the cafe itself was almost
empty. A few newcomers lazily sip
