FLORINE'S
AMULET
Dy INA WRIGHT HANSON
(YlvHflM, Wrti, Ity Incl H'riiM Unnnm
I found Florlno by (lu ten tnblo on
the vcrttndn gnzltiK dreamily Into hot
cup. She wore my roses In the holt
of lur white gown nnd In her bronze
hnlr. For nonie time I lnid not diired
to nppronch Florlne without heliiR for
tilled with disagreeable speeches; otu
erwlso I Rhould linvo been Kttllty of
proposing to her. Cousldwrlng (hut hot
monthly Income wns iulte etinnl to my
nnniml one, n proposal of mnrrlngc
from me would be palpably absurd. I
sighed, nnd my sigh nrousod Florlne.
"Oh, I'm Rind It's yout" (the wild
brightly. "I riiw n visitor In my tea
cup." I frowned nnd took n chair on the
other nldo of the table.
"I wish you wouldn't," I Bnld.
"Wouldn't what? Give you n cup
of ten? Well, you needn't drink It.
Are you nfmld It will hurt your com
plexion?" Her tone was bantering but her
eyes hnd u hint of concern In their
violet depths. I looked nwuy ns I nn
Hwered: "The other night nt pit you turned
your chair around three times, nnd
then when you lost you nttrlbuted It to
the misplacing of your rabbit foot."
"I did make n mistake," sho sntd
gravely. "It wasn't the rabbit foot;
It was the day. Wednesday Is my un
lucky day."
"If you keep on folks will think you
are wenkmludod," I continued, keep
ing my gaze carefully from the danger
ous charm of her fuco. "I hnvo actual
ly heard It said that you wear nn amu
let!" Florlne wns silent so long that I
was compelled to glance nt her. Sho
wns regarding me wlUi what might be
termed n complex look. Her mouth
wns dimpled wltli smiles, her lifted
brows wcro derisive, but her eyes wore
troubled. I Ignored the eyes.
"This superstition business detracts
from your real worth," I went on re
lentlessly. "It Is tho flaw In the din
inond, tho blight In tho rose, tho the"
"Fly In the ointment?" Bho suggested
politely.
"To have It told around that you
wear an amulott" I reiterated In flno
scorn.
Then Florlno laughed. When Florlne
laughs
"You poor old denrl" sho exclaimed
ns soon as she was able. "I don't bo
llevo you have the ghost of nn Idea
what an amulet 1st"
I was solid on that score, for I hnd
Just learned the definition from tho
dictionary.
" 'An object, usually n peculiar bit
of stone, mctnl, bone, paper, wood or
tho like, worn by superstitious peoplo
as a protection ngalnst witchcraft,
bad luck, disease, accidents, etc. A
charm"
"Oh, don't!" she choked. "You are
too ubsurd." Then sho went off Into
another gale of laughter.
"I don't seo where tho absurdity
comes In," I retorted. "If thnt Isn't
an amulet, then what Is It?"
I supped my tea wltli dignity while
Florlne recovered herself.
"I know u girl onco who wore an
umulct," sho suld nt last. "It wns tho
well, tho picture of somebody she
liked."
Picture nh! To bo sure, I wasn't
an Adonis, neither wns I afraid of
breaking tho camera, but for ono rea
son or another I hnd faced a photog
rapher. Picture, was It? Was sho tho
girl? I wondered.
"It wasn't bone, metal, stone, paper
or wood," sho went on. "And sho
didn't wear It ns a protection ngaluut
anything. Sho Just woro It because
she liked It, bucauso sho liked tho man
whoso picture wns In It"
"It wnsn't nu nmutot then," I said,
setting down my cup.
"It was an umulct," contradicted
Florlno. "Unlmnglnary folks get their
dellnltlons out of the dictionary. Other
people"
"How about a walk?" I Intorruptcd.
I couldn't eveu pretend to bo disagree
able any longer; neither could I mus
ter up determination enough to leavo
her lovely, laughing sprito that eho
wns. I'erhnps thero was loss danger
In wnlklug.
"Hut I am going to have nnotlier
caller," sho demurred.
"Do you heo him In your teacup?"
I nsked.
"No; I seo him nt the gnto," she
laughed, "ulthough ho may bo coming
to sin) mamma. IIo Is very fond of
mamma. 1'osslbly I shall be at the
summer houso soon."
It was clearly a dare, and I took It.
I went to tho summer houso. Around
tho summer house nro trees nnd (low
ers; In front Is n mlnnturo lake a
beautiful place, but a dnngerous ono
when n man has no right to tell what
HoinetlmeH dims his eyen nnd Impedes
his speech.
As I sat down something nt my feet
uiught my eye. I picked It up. It wns
b heart shnped locket not with rubles.
It flow open In my hand, disclosing
two scraps of white cloUi. I exam
ined tho pieces with somo Interest, es
pecially as I noticed thnt my mono
gram graced thu upper ono. They were
two corners from ono of my handker
chiefs evidently. Anyway It was my
monogram. When my oyes fell on thu
othor piece n bowlldorlng lot of
thoughts chnsed through my brain, for
that piece boro my profile, trnced clev
rly In purplo Ink, Floiino's nmulet
a "picture of a man sho liked!" No
moro lotting a paltry fortuno stand be
tween us, If she really enrefl, nnd It
must be phe enros, or
When I got ho fnr I jumped up nnd
stnrtod Joyfully for Florlne's presence.
Then another Idea assailed me. Sup
pose Florlne should think that my find
ing the nmulet Influenced my declara
tion; that It was an affair uf honor, so
to speak. I tuld the locket carefully
under n small fir nnd wetit back to the
summer house. I wns scarcely seated
when Florlne came flying down tho
path, her flimsy gown floating like n
lovely white cloud around her.
"You can laugh or you can scold. I
don't enrol" she asserted tenrfully. "I
did wonr nn amulet, but now It's
roup!"
She sat down by mo nnd dabbed nt
her pretty eyes wlUi n scjuaro Inch of
law edged linen.
I neither Inughed nor scolded. I be
gan tolling her n Btory:
"Once upon n time there lived n beau
tiful princess ndored by every one. In
her court wns n man, neither rich nor
overwlse, but loving her, he thought,
best of all. Sho accused him of having
no Imagination, and mnybe ho hnd
none, but lie saw In the Biinset gold of
the princess' hair, In every blue flower
hue of her eyes. In every purling
streamlet, the music of her laughter.
Often ho criticised tho princess, al
though to him she wns perfect"
"What did ho do it for, then?" cried
Florlne.
"He hnd n mighty purpose."
Florlno giggled. I looked nt her bus
plclously, but rIic mndo nnother'dnb nt
her eyes, so I wont on;
"For all his hnrsh words he repented
In sackcloth nnd nshes, nnd when Uio
dny of his repentnnco wns over ho
knelt on Uio ground at her feet"
'Oh, no!" corrected Florlne. "He
might hnvo taken rheumatism or some
thing." Were ever eyes so blue or lips bo
sweet? I plunged ahead recklessly:
"IIo took her llttlo hnnd In hls"
sultlng action to tho word "nnd put
his arm around her so and kissed her
like tills"
"How dare you?" Bnld Florlno very
softly.
"I don't dnre," I answered meekly.
"I wns only showing you whnt tho mnn
did vho belonged In the court of tha
princess."
"Well, go on,'"sho commanded.
"I can't."
"Why?"
"I don't know whnt tho princess did
after he-nfter Uiat," I Blghed, al
though looking nt Florlno hopefully.
Sho smiled.
"Oh, the princess said, 'I hnvo, lost
my nmulet, nnd I can novcr seo hnp
plnoBs without It; bo methlnks I will
publish n decree that to him who find
eth It will I give his heart's desire.' "
"Describe tho amulet, O princess I"
"Tho decree should state that tho
amulet Is Inclosed within n case of
gold, shaped like my loving heart and
set nround with rubles llko drops of
my own heart's blood; thnt tho amu
let Is of fine linen, marked with purple;
thnt each separate line stands for love,
trust, hnpplness; that nil tho lines to
gether form tho lluenments of of"
Florlne'a dark lashes rested upon
very pink cheeks. She hesitated.
"I go to search for tho amulet," I an
nounced, rising. ,
She looked nt me approvingly. I
peered under tho Btep, mado two short
detours In tho direction of tho lake,
then discovered It under a small fir
tree.
Florlno clapped her llttlo hands.
"How beautifully the story proceeds!"
sho cried ns I snt down again to tell
her my heart's deslro.
"I am wondering, though," Bhe mused
n very long tlmo nfterwnrd, "how tho
man cumo to find the nmulet under n
fir tree when the princess lost It In tho
summer houso."
ISnn)-pl thu Ilaicplpra.
In his story of the llfo of Lord Strnth
conn Mr. Heckles Wlllson tells nn
amusing anecdote of his lordship's ear
ly days when ns Donald Smith ho en
tered Uio employment of tho nudson
liny company and commenced to build
up tho riches which mado him a peer
millionaire.
A fellow Scotchman who worked
with Smith on the samo stntlon
brought out n set of bngplpes on ono
occasion, and when tho Indians and
Eskimos had gathered round he struck
up "Tho Highland Lnddlo" or bomo
such nlr. Tho delight of the aborigines
wns immonse. Their faces lit up wltli
rapture, nnd with open mouths nnd
enrs they drank In the souuds produced
by tho Instrument.
Afterward n discussion nroso at tho
company's fnctory ns to whether tho
Eskimos woro of Mongolian or lec- I
laudlc extraction. I
