Richardson, in The Reader. Two Prisoners. • ) -------- ( By Mkiirva Spencer Handy. No matter what trouble Katherine got into she was sure to find some way to get out of it. From the time she had been a wee bit of a girl, her mother reached the conclusion that there was no use worrying over Kath erine. The child seemed to have the faculty of always \landing on her feet.’’ And this was true, except ’’once upon a tim e,’’ when she did not. One afternoon Katherine was left alone in the house. That Is, no one was nearer than the kitchen, where Della was busily ironing. Kather- Ine'a mother had gone to pay some calls in the neighborhood. She had wanted her daughter to go with her, but this young lady had refused. \What is there for a child to do?\ she argued. \She can’t play about, because it isn’t ladylike. She can’t talk because it is ladylike (at least ladies do a good deal of talking). I get very tired sitting on a stiff, high, uncomfortable chair and being told that I have grown a great deal and am getting to look more like some body every day I live.\ Mother laughed and said she thought there was a good deal of truth in what Katherine said. She advised her to stay at home and finish the story book she had gotten a week before on her birthday. Katherine was delighted. The story was fascinating. It was about a little boy named Charles, whose father was the King of England. Two parties were fighting for the possession of the throne, Charles’ fa ther and his uncle. During the con test the king hid his son away at a friend’s house, fearing that his en emies might steal the boy. The prince was very lonesome. He was not al lowed to talk to anyone or see any person but an old servant who brought him his meals. He had already been three weeks In this prison room when one day something happened. He had grown ’tired of watching the sun as it poured through the high latticed windows, and of hearing the happy voices of the harvesters singing outside. They were happy because they were free and this thought made the prince more miserable than ever. * The room in which the boy was im prisoned was called the Cedar Room. 'It was paneled chair-high with wood, while above this were carved figures. These represented the gods and god desses which the ancient Greeks and Romans worshiped long ago. Some pf them amused the little boy, while others annoyed him equally. Among th e first class was Jupiter, who was burling lightning from his throne. Vulcan, too, was interesting, for he was hammering away on his anvil looking like a very giant in his mas sive strength. Charles took the greatest dislike to the goddess Minerva. This famous person had a remarkably ugly nose. When the artist first carved her out of the precious marble her nose was a thing of the greatest beauty, straight and prominent. This promi nent feature had no doubt brought it to Its final state of ugliness, for be cause it was so prominent It had gotten chipped off and was now worn off as flat as the nose of some princess of Ethiopia. Every time Charles looked at Ma dam Minerva he grew very angry. When he had decided that the most offending portion of Miperva was her nose, the Prince of Wales made up his royal mind what he would do. Seising his toy1 bow add setting his lips tight, he said: \I won’t put up with her nose any longer; I’ll see If I. can’t hit it.\ - n \Whirs!\ went the string. Charles •aw that he had hit the nose and the panel began of its own accord to •lowly turn as if it were swung on a pivot. It only took niinute more for Charles to discover that behind this panel a secret passage was re vealed, and following it the young prince was son on his way out of his bondage. Katherine had Juat gotten this far In her book when she heard the voice of her chum beneath her window.' She opened the eaah, thrust out her curly head and a, pleasant chat fol-| towed between the two gtrle. Kath erine's curls were her most pleasant feature. Just as Minerva's nose had her most unpleasant. They were long and yellow,'and no doubt looked so pretty In the golden senshln* that sa«£ miMhlevoea fairy eould not te rn to play a trick, wee Katherine did not dtp. II the \good by\ ef her away in the dlsthtss, • the wlndofipad Kath- kk up her book and learn what had happened further In the Ufe of the prince. She had not turned more than a few Inches When she discovered that she,, like him, was a prisoner even as he had been. Her longest curl had caught in the hinge of the shutter, and the tightly closed window made her doubly a prisoner. \What shall I do?” cried the terri fied child. \I can’t make Delia hear in the kitchen and mother won’t be home before five. There is nothing for me to do but to stay all these hours in this cramped position. I am worse off than Charles, for he could move around his room, while I get a dreadful yank every time I try to move. This is ever ao much worse than making calls, but then mother has often told me that we do not ap preciate our blessings until they have flown away. If I only had a bow and arrow, or even a pair of scissors; wouldn’t I cut off this curl quicker than I could say Jack Robinson!\ Patience was not one of Kather ine's virtues. Perhaps you are think ing that wisdom, or even what is called common sense, was also sadly lacking in her. Instead of doing a little quiet thinking, she worried her self until the tears came and finally WOMEN: THEIR FADS; HER GREAT CHARM. | your arbiters of fashion in New A woman's sweetness and gentle New York.\ ness are her greatest charms and her} “Not in all respects, but you see strongest weapons.

Her whole condition was most miserable when her mother found her on her knees several hours later. Whe.n the situatio i was explained to her, what do you suppose she did. Instead cf crying over the unfortun ate Katherine as Katherine expected her to do, she burst into a loud and hearty laugh. Katherine was sur prised and hurt that mother should show herself uo unsympathetic, when her position was cruel enough to melt a heart of stone. \You foolish child,\ began her mother. \Here you have been tor turing yourself this whole long after noon, when all you had to do was to raise the window, release your hair from the shutter, when you would have been as free as Charles was when he found the secret pas sage.\ Katherine was In the fifth grade at school and had always been re garded as a bright little girl. Where had her faculty of \landing on her feet\ vanished? When she realized how foolish she had been, she decid ed the best thing she could do was to join in the general laugh at her own expense.— P h iladelphia Press. A Bright, Frothy Tragedy. \W h a t J want,\ Francis Wilson told an amateur dramatist, \is a bright, frothy tragedy— something crisp and snappy.” \How do you m e a n ? ’’ asked the would-be author, slightly puzzled. \Can you give me an idea?\ \Oh yes,\ said Wilson. \H e r e ’s one.

LOVES OF FAMOUS MEN. Byron was foolishly jealous of every woman he ever loved. His love ran well Into two figures, and he man aged sooner or later to make every one miserable. Heinrich Heine, the poet, was also terribly jealous. One day he pois oned a parrot belongiflg to his lady love for fear it should claim too much of her attention. “The Rivals” is a true story of Sheridan’s courtship, the character of Lydia Languish in the life play being taken by Miss Lindley, who a fterward became the author's wife.

He wears an overcoat and carries an umbrella. You can tell at once by his manner that he is the husband of the young woman. At least that would be the natural inference of every discrimi nating playgoer. \ The husband takes off his coat, draws a revolver, and in the midst of the silent embrace of hero and heroine, fires. \The young woman falls dead. \He fires again. The young man falls dead. \Then the murderer comes for ward, puts on a pair of eyeglasses, and proceeds to contemplate his san guinary work. \ ‘Great heavens’’ he exclaims, ‘1 am on the wrong floor.’ \— Under the eternal fidelity.— New York Journal. SIMPLY DRESSED CHILDREN. The children of the Czar of Russia are always dressed with extreme sim plicity, says one who knows some thing about the domestic life of the Romanoffs. The little grand duch esses wear plain white cotton or cream serge dresses with sailor col lars and plain black silk bows tied in an English navy knot. Their hats elastics. Their shoes are of stout black leather with very soft uppers and sensible heels, and they wear black stockings of cashmere with no openwork frippery.

As Is known generally, the rabbit has multiplied In parts of Australia almost beyond man's comprehension, so that it is difficult to raise many crops, and resort must bo had to rabbit-proof fencing, poison-baiting, etc. It is now proposed to introduce from South America a red ant which is not afraid to attack living animals, especially the very young.

All Waverly, 111., is more than proud of Florence Wylie, who, though still a very young girl, is gaining wide fame as a sculptor. Her ideas are her own, and her exe cution of them in chiselled marble is simply wonderful. Her masterpiece, which is now bringing her before the public, Is a design of a child among grapevines. Under its arm is a jar, from which flows cool, refreshing water to quench the thirst of visitors at the Art Institute. Her design was selected from those of many competi tors, some of the best In America. Miss Wylie is a girl of beauty, with large, lustrous eyes, a wealth of dark hair and a complexion that all women crave but few have. In spite ot all this she cares nothing for dress; her soul is in her art.

A heroine of romance should, of course, never grow old; but she is be coming seriously handicapped by the modern novelist’s tendency to start her later in life. Hardly any hero ines now are under twenty-five, and most of them are perilously near thirty. A novel published last week boldly elected to make the heroine thirty-five; and though that is high- water ma^k, the diligent novel- reader may well be apprehensive lest his favorite novelists should begin to regard it an ideal to be kept in view. The heroines of Mr. Anthony Hope are putting on years; Mr. Robert Hichens made the lady of the “Call of the Blood” quite in the fashion, Mrs. Elinor Glyn’s “Three W e e k s ” siren was vaguely between twent)r- five and thirty-fi e, according to the light; Mr. W. B. Maxwell’s guilty wife in “The Guarded Flame\ was certainly old enough to kniw better. The Baroness von Hutton's “Pam\ was charming, but she owned to twenty-nine. All these are recent novels; but It will be found that the heroines of Mr. Percy White's, Miss Elizabeth Robin’s, Mr. John Gals worthy’s last books all recalM h e re mark of the Irishman when ques tioned about a lady’s age— “ You wouldn't think of a chicken when she was b y .” Evidently the woman of thirty-five is going to take the same place In fiction as the “ man of forty,\ and the Science has shown t h a t during tho life of an organism there is a con stant breaking down of the complex substance of the body.^assoclated with an equally constant upbuilding, whereby waste Is repaired, growth rendered possible, and the production of new individuals iqade practicable. W ithout such chemical disintegra tion, or death, the energy neces sary for carrying on the life-process would not be forthcoming. Hence the absolute truth of the statement that death is necessary to'life. Mosquitoes are found to prefer negroes to whites, a black dog to a white one, and a dark-colored resting place.

Two gold-prospectors recently dis covered in the Santa Susanna Moun tains, about fifty miles from Los An geles, Cal., the largest and most re- i markable cave in western America. While looking for indications of gold, they found an opening which they entered. The opening led to a great cavern, consisting of many passages, some of them wide, but most of they narrow and lofty. The passages lead into great halls, some containing an acre, studded with sta lagmites and stalactites, in some cases so thickly that it is difficult to get through. The walls of one of these halls are covered with rude drawings, some almost obliterated, but others still clear. The drawings represent incidents of the chase, showing Indians on foot, pursuing bear, deer and other animals. One wall-painting shows the bear pursu ing the hunter. The work is done with a soft, red stone, much used by the Indians for that purpose.—• Scientific American. New York City consumes 5,360,i)i10 pounds of tea annually.
