QUEEN Of HEARTS
BY THOMAS q. ANDERSON.

Copyright. 1914. by w. @. Chapman)
When once you had seen Ethel
Lyndon, it was hard to forget her.
Thinking it over. you would connect
her with pictures you had seen in old
en- books when art was select in the
portrayal. Her eyes would make you
recall some brilliant Spanish beauty.
Her form. her poise reminded Of the
queenly beauties Of ancient France.
Her face. a-smile, lured you with its
fresh sweetness, and your mind would
receive memories Of golden mornings
when some one you loved stepped into
a dewy garden path among birds and
flowers like some light fairy.
OF the ten or twelve available SWANS
of Deepford fully half of them were
ready to die for her and the others in
despair. She was not only the belle
of the district, but the favorite Of all
the girls. She did not seek to reign az
queen Of all hearts. They made her
and did her homage, but could not
spoil her. Ethel was all soul-kindly
genuine. the friend of everyone-ever
OF Wheels.
Poor Wheels! He had got his nick
name and had met his fate at Deep
ford. He was wise enough to realize
it and placidly accepted the situation
They called him Wheels because he
had them in his head. At least they
said SO. He had been always of an In
Quisitive turn of mind. Some one hat
told him he was a natural born in
ventor. Since then Adrian Russell

alias "Wheels," had dabbled in all
kinds Of experiments.
Adrian had small estate left him
by his mother. Ethel depended on her
aged and somewhat whimsical grand
father. She was his favorite and the
other heirs expectant hated her for it.

don used to chuckle. "I've got all my
fortune in cash and jewels. I intend
to tell you where they are before l die.
Don't give those time-serving, money
grubbing cousins Of yours single
cent?"
Time went pleasantly for Ethel. The
home was roomy and even elegant, her
grandfather liberal in allowing her
spending money. He did not object in
the least to her having a jolly crowd
enjoy the evenings on the spacious
lawn or upon the wide vine-embow'
cred porch.

"But-but might that not be dam

TREMENDOUSLY.
Not at ALL" insisted Adrian, giving
q grateful look to the speaker as he
thrilled at the conjecture that she was
really anxious for his welfare.
There was an old-fashioned observa-
tory on top Of the building. The crowd
below curiously greeted the excite
ment and novelty of watching the ven
turesome Adrian. as he climbed out OF

Of the roof. He secured the hook of
his descending device to chimney
rod, let himself over the edge Of the
tiles, slid five feet and checked him

spectators.
1t delighted and nerved him might
lily to note that Ethel was regarding
him in a half piteous, half distracted
way. 1t showed her interest in him,
sisterly or humanitarian perhaps. but
sufficient to make him quite happy.
Then some cog in the fire escape appa-
ratus slipped and down he went
He's falling!"
"Oh. he will be killed."
But Adrian was not harmed serious
~. The fall was trifling, but his head
struck trellis and for the moment he
was stunned. He raised up to find
Ethel bending solicitously over him.
"Oh. bring some water, quick!" she
cried in frantic tones and then as
Adrian got up and insisted that he was
not harmed in the least, she blushed
like a peony.
Mr.. Lyndon died suddenly the next
week. He had left all his estate to
Ethel. but to the surprise Of all, this
comprised only the residence. There
was no money in bank, none of the
rich jewels the old man had prated Of.
Search was made, but with no results,
and Ethel finding she could not main
tain the establishment without an in
come, decided to leave the place and
make her home with a married cousin,
a Mrs. Cakes, who with her little child
came to visit her.
1t was disappointing to Ethel, but
natural that many of her fair weather
friends should desert her when they
learned that she had not after all in
herited a fortune. Adrian was fond
and true. He called at the home Of
mourning daily. He paid a hundred lit
tie unobtrusive attentions to lonely de-
serted Ethel. He pretended to be per-
fecting his fire escape invention, but in
truth was thinking of his lady love
most of the time.
One afternoon just as he entered the
garden a vivid scream caused him to
hasten to join Ethel and Mrs. Cakes,
who were rushing distractedly towards
the loose board covering Of an old
| well.

grass.

DOCKYARDS OF OLD ENGLAND
Those at Portsmouth, WooIwich, Dept
ford and Chatham Arc Veneer
able Ports.

Probably Portsmouth Is our Oldest
dockyard, as we understand the term
today, for, with the exception of Dover,
the old Cirque ports have long lost
their importance. London Answers
observes 1t Is said that King John
was the originator Of our premier yard.
as in 1912 the sheriff of Southampton
was directed to inclose that part of the
shore at Portsmouth OF which the
royal feet lay.
The first dry dock was not COM
pleted until 1896. when Q primitive one
OF stone and wood was constructed at
Portsmouth. The two entrance walls
almost overlapped, and when a ship
safely negotiated the difficult entrance
the space between the walls was filled
with earth and rubble and the water
pumped out.
Woolwich and Deptford we're two of
our earliest dockyards. though they
have long ceased to exist; but the re-
cent discovery Of what is said to be
the remains of the Great Harry has
aroused interest in them. Both these
yards were closed in 1869.
Chatham was founded in the STIR
ring times Of Elizabeth, and was for
long the headquarters of the navy. In
1888 the queen, with Drake and Haw-
kins, started the Chatham chest for
the relief Of wounded and decayed
seamen," which was transferred to
Woolwich in 1903. Sheerness became a
naval port after the Dutch sailed up
the Thames In 1867.
AS Plymouth was the rendezvous for
the feet which fought the armada, 1t
is often thought a dockyard was in
existence then. but its history does not
begin until 1859, while 1t was only in
1924 that the same Plymouth dock
gave way to Davenport.
