The Mood
Of a Maid.
By CECILY ALLEN.
roovrishtd. IWS, by Associated
Literary Press.
The . 4 irl leaned forward after scan
, h (110 roa d in both directions aud
touched the chauffeur’s arm. The
crimson car came to a panting,
deliberate standstill.
The girl did not wait for the chauf
feur to" help her, but sprang lightly to
the road and vanished into the wood
ed on the right. The chauffeur turn
ed the car as if his thoughts were con
centrated on the necessity of making
the smallest possible turn in time of
safety in order to be prepared in time
of emergency. And then the great crim
son car shot back in the direction from
whence It had come.
Safely screened by the underbrush,
the girl found a clearing in the wood
land and sat down on a moss grown
jo* Deftly she unwound the swath
es of chiffon from her hat. baring
a face delicate and sensitive as the
anemones opening at her feet.
She drew off her gloves and felt of
the velvety moss on the old log, then
stooped to gather flowers. Finally,
with the blossoms forgotten in her
lap she leaned forward, her elbows on
her knees, her chin propped in the
palms of her hands, watching the
woodland life around her.
Chipmunks and squirrels scampered
a'lohg tlie edge ofThe clearing. Where
the sun shone upon a tangle of fern
and jack in the pulpit two robins
perched pertly on dry twigs aud dis
cussed the troubles of May moving
dav. From the shadows of the wood
beyond came the persistent hammering
of a woodpecker.
Beyond the screen of underbrush au
tomobiles and smart turnouts spun bn
toward the race track, where the world
of fashion was foregathering. An hour
passed, and then at the distant wail of
a peculiar siren whistle the girl sprang
to her feet, dropped her lapful of flow
ers and ran to the roadside.
Bearing down upon her was a crim
son car, twin of the one which had
dropped her so unceremoniously an
hour earlier.
But the resemblance stopped with
the car. The chauffeur in the first car
had worn a spick span uniform in tan
color from the tips of his highly polish
ed boots to the crown of his heavy red
cap. The man in this car wore a dis
reputable looking storm coat of Eng
lish cloth, a shabby visor cap and a
pair of goggles which had certainly
seen more prosperous days.
He was scorching along at a fine
pace. But the girl calmly stepped to
the edge of the road and waved a de
taining hand—a bare hand at that.
The machine slowed down, aud the
man made preparations to descend, as
became one hailed by a maiden in dis
tress. But again the girl raised a de
taining baud.
“My car met with an accident. I
thought perhaps—l am very anxious to
reach Dalton this afternoon. Perhaps
you were going that way. Would you
give me a lift?’’
She looked up eagerly into bis star
red face. Then the man coughed dis
creetly. swallowed a smile and sprang
from the machine.
“I was—or thought I was—going to
the races, but I am sure it will be
much more pleasant at —er —was it Dal
ton you said?”
The man’s accent was English. The
admiration in his eyes was the sort
that knows no nationality. The girl
flushed beneath it and sprang into the
car before the astonished man could
assist her.
For a few minutes the car ran on in
silence. Then the girl spoke abruptly.
“Let us take this crossroad. Then
a mile farther we will strike the old
Dalton turnpike. There we will not
meet”—
“I understand,” he interrupted grave
ly. Aud the great car swerved into
the crossroad, running through a
stretch of woodland.
Again the girl seemed plunged in
thought. But at last the man remark
ed a bit lamely:
“Perfect day, isn’t it?”
The girl looked up at him shyly. Her
eyes were soft and luminous.
“Oh, I have had the most beautiful
hour there in the woods. I’ve never
seen anything half so wonderful as
those little creatures doing just as they
Pleased. Just as soon as the birds
tired of one tree or bush or fern they
flew off to another. They did not mind
hie nor each other. Just think of being
like that all your life!”
The man looked at her curiously, as
if she were a new specimen of the
genus feminine and entirely worthy of
deep study.

the same old round of teas and dinners
and dances. There was no romance in
that.”
The man shook his head.
“But Harriet, one of our parlor
maids, married a miner way out west.
She met him by answering an adver
tisement in a matrimonial paper. He
came east after her, and she wrote
Marie that they were awfully happy.
He had never beaten her once.”
The man flung back his head and
laughed, and the girl laughed with
him. Then suddenly she clutched his
sleeve.
“You’ve passed the Dalton turnpike,
and I must be at Stoneywold for
lunch.”
“We are not going to Dalton.” said
the man calmly. “I’ve been out this
way before. Just two miles beyond we
will cross the state line.”
“But why? Oh, I must go on to
Stoneywold.”
The man ignored the remark.
“And across the state line, I under
stand. there is no need of a license.”
“Oh!” said the girl very softly, and
the great car stopped beneath the arch
of freshly leaved trees.
He flung aside his heavy driving
gloves and took the delicate, sensitive
face of the girl between his two hands.
“Will you, dearest?”
Her eyes stopped dancing and turned
wondrous tender.
“Oh, I hoped you’d understand, but I
did not dream”—
“Will you. dearest?” persisted the
man.
She lowered her long lashes over the
eyes Into which he tried so hard to
gaze. Later she murmured from the
shelter of his arms: “But I want to tell
you the truth, Lester. I never loved
you till just this minute. And I had
made up my mind that if you did not
understand I would just”-' „
He threw on the power,
“Let us get across the hue quick be
fore you change your mind again.”
Hiram Manning, justice of the peace
in the —th district, plucked at his
beard and regarded the couple doubt
fully.
“fd like t’ oblige you, but this ain’t
no Gretna Green, an’—well, I don’t
mind tellin’ you that the girl looks un
der age.”
“But I am not,” protested tbe girl.
“I am twenty.”
“Not castin’ no reflections, ma’am,
but I’d like some proof”—
The girl and the man looked at each
other; then the girl’s troubled glance
traveled to the table, and a smile
brightened her face.
“Isn’t that proof enough that my
family are willing?”
She held the paper toward the jus
tice with the face of a girl peering
straight from the printed page.
The justice looked from the picture
to the girl, and his face alternately
flushed and paled.
“Gosh all hemlocks, you’re Banker
Claflin’s girl, and he—he’s”—
“Yes,” said the girl, her eyes danc
ing. “He is Lord Gramaton. But in
deed, he’s very nice In spite of the
fact,” she added as Justice of the
Peace Manning continued to stare in
credulously at the man’s slim figure In
its disreputable motoring apparel.
“You wait a bit. I’ll be right back,”
said the justice, with sudden accession
of spirit, and he started for the door.
The girl and man sprang after him.
“You are not going to telephone—to
town—to those wretched reporters.
Please, please, let us be married quite
alone, with just some of your family
for witnesses,” cried the girl.
“Yes,” added the man nervously.
“We’ve just run away from all that
sort of thing—piffle, don't you know.
Please let us get away quietly. Don’t
telephone, I beg of you.”
“Telephone nothin’,” exclaimed the
jfustice heartily. “I’m just goln’ to put
On ray Sunday suit. Never expect to
marry a millionaire’s girl and a lord
again in my time.”
CONQUERORS CONQUERED.
The Fate of Alexander, Hannibal,
Caesar and Napoleon.
It is a remarkable and instructive
fact that the careers of four of the most
renowned characters that ever lived
closed with violent or mournful deaths.
Alexander, after looking down from
the dizzy heights of his ambition upon
a conquered world and weeping that
there were no more to conquer, died
of intoxication in a scene of debauch
or, as some suppose, by poison mingled
in his wine.
Hannibal, whose name carried terror
to the heart of Rome Itself, after hav
ing crossed the Alps and put to flight
the armies of the mistress of the world,
was driven from his country and died
at last of poison administered by his
own bands ip a foreign land, unla
mented and unwept
Caesar, the conqueror of 800 cities
and his temples bound with chaplets
dipped in the blood of a million of his
foes, was miserably assassinated by
those he considered his nearest friends.
Bonaparte, whose mandate kings and
emperors obeyed, after filling the earth
with the terror of his name, closed his
days in lonely banishment upon a bar
ren rock in the midst of the Atlantic
ocean.
Such the four men who may be con
sidered representatives of all whom the
world calls great and such their end —
intoxication or poison, suicide, mur
dered by friends, lonely exile.
Captivating a Queen.
It was by his graceful execution of a
dance that young Hatton first capti
vated the heart of Queen Elizabeth,
says Edward Scott in his book on
“Dancing In All Ages.” He had been
brought up to the law and entered
court, as his enemy. Sir John Perrot
used to say, “by the gaillarde,” as his
first appearance there was on the occa
sion of a mask ball, and her majesty
was so struck by his good looks and
activity that she made him one of her
band of pensioners, who were consid
ered the handsomest men In England.
It is said that the favors which the
virgin monarch extended to her new
favorite excited the Jealousy of the
whole court, especially that of the Earl
of Leicester, who, thinking to depre
ciate the accomplishments of the
young lawyer, offered to Introduce to
Elizabeth’s notice a professional dancer
whose saltatory performances were
considered far more wonderful than
Hatton’s. To this suggestion, however,
the royal lady, with more vehemence
than elegance, exclaimed: “Pish! I
will not see yonr man. It la his trade.”
THE DEMOCRATIC ADVOCATE, "WESTMINSTER, MD.
A CASE IN POINT.
Why the Postmaster Leaned Toward
the Sheriff.
There is a town in northern New I
Hampshire where the families have in
termarried to such an extent that it is
difficult for an outsider to make the
least criticism on one person without
the danger of offending some of his
family connections. When an unfortu
nate visitor commented on this fact to
Mr. Corbin, the postmaster, Mr. Cor
bin nodded violently.
“Bill Harmon, that’s our sheriff, com
plained of that no longer ago than last
week,” said he.
“You see, it took him more’n a fort
night to arrest Nate Giddings because
Nate got wind that he was wanted on
a little matter o’ selling hard cider,
and he went on a round o’ visits |
among his relatives—aunts, nephews
in-law and I don’t know what all—and
’twasn’t till he’d had his fun and went
back home to his wife that Bill could
make the arrest without seeming to 1
kind o’ butt in, as you might say, and j
spoil the reunions.”
“I should think be would make a
queer kind of sheriff,” said the visitor, |
“waiting all that time for sentimental j i
reasons and then arresting a man 11
when he went home just because his 1 !
poor wife wasn’t a relation!”
Mr. Corbin drew himself up and as- I
sumed a remote expression. ['
“That’s as you look at it,” he said in ,
a chilly tone. “I may be a mite preju- 1 '
diced in Bill’s favor, as he married my I ■
son-in-law’s youngest sister. Anything ' 1
that concerns him concerns me, you ,
understand.” j |
CHECKING A BUNDLE.
The Way the Tired Man Sav.ed Him- |
self Labor and trouble.
One day a man went into a very big j
store. He had a heavy package with ;
him.
Not in the sense you mean, smarties, i
but in the real sense.
He had to go two blocks farther i
down the street and didn’t want to ■
carry the package. So he decided that j
he would leave it in the check room.
He asked a floorwalker who looked j
like a United States senator, but who ■
was a perfect gentleman, where the ■
check room was. The floorwalker said:
4 ’ T h r e eaislesoverdo wnstairsandover
ontheWabashside.”
He went there, wherever that was,
and found he had made a mistake.
He knew it was himself who had
made the mistake, for as nice a man ■
as a floorwalker with a Prince Albert :
on couldn’t have made a mistake.
Finally after he had lugged his bun
dle thirty-two blocks hunting the
check room, had found the check room
and deposited his bundle he walked ;
his two blocks to the other place and
was through for the day.
Then he soliloquized:
“How should I ever have got
through or stood the wear and tear of
that long two blocks carrying that
bundle? If it hadn't been for the
check room system, what could I have
done?”—Chicago News.
TIPS IN ENGLAND.
Lord Russell’s Fee to the Headsman
Who Executed Him.
Mr. George Russell, discoursing on
tips in the Manchester Guardian, after
the manner of his “Collections and
Recollections,” treats the subject his
torically under its various names of
fees, vales (or veils), honorarium (as
Disraeli preferred to call it) and
pouches.
Ancient usage has a peculiarly con
secrating effect in the matter of tips
and fees. Horace Walpole records the
astonishment of George I. when told
that he must give guineas to the serv
ant of the ranger of his park for
bringing him a brace of carp out of his i
own pond.
Apparently everybody in England is
at some time or other justified in de
manding a fee unless it be the mon
arch. When Talt became archbishop
of Canterbury and met the queen he
breathed a sigh of relief on at last en
countering a person to whom he had
not to pay something.
According to Bishop Burnet, a man
used to have to give a tip in order to
be decapitated. He tells the story of
Lord Russell when under sentence of
death for high treason asking what he
ought to give the executioner. “I told
him 10 guineas. He said, with a smile,
It was a pretty thing to give a fee to
have his head cut off.”
For Number Two.
“George, dear, what kind of a wom
an would you marry if you married
again?” asked the amiable wife.
“Well, if I married again”— began
the brutal husband.
"Then you acknowledge that you
would marry again?”
“I’m not saying one way or the oth
er, but”—
“But you don’t give me a definite
answer, and that proves”—
’‘That doesn’t prove anything, be
cause”—
“It does too! So what kind of a I
woman would you marry If you mar
ried again?”
“I wouldn’t marry again. I could
not”
“Of course you have to say that.”
“Of course I do, because I was
about to say that if I married again
It would be the kind of a woman who
would not ask me what kind of a wo
man I would marry if I married
again.”—Judge.
Singing Pigeons.
The queer Chinese change pigeons
into song birds by fastening whistles
to their breasts. The wind of their
flight then causes a weird and plaintive
music that is seldom silenced in the
pigeon haunted cities of Pekin and
Canton. The Belgians, great pigeon
fliers, fasten whistles beneath the
wings of valuable racing carriers,
claiming that the shrill noise is a
sure protection against hawks and
other birds of prey. As a similar pro
tection, reeds, emitting an odd wail
ing sound, are fixed to the tail feath
ers of the dispatch bearing pigeons of
the German army.

MAKING A WILL
If You Draw Up Your Own, Stick to
the Most Simple Terms.
“If the people,” said a lawyer, “who
for whatever reason prefer to draw
wills without resorting to legal advice
would keep just oue thing in mind a
lot of trouble would be saved. It is
nothing save insistence on simplicity.
Simplicity is the main thing to make
a will effective, and apparently it is
the one thing that the will makers for
get about. High sounding words and
half remembered law phrases come to
their minds, and into the documents
these verbal extravagances go. There
appears to be a popular impression
that, for example, to say T give and
bequeath’ is a stronger way of saying
T give.’ Again, take the matter of
directions. Here ade ire to be explicit
frequently results in contradictions, i
and the longer a sentence in a will is i
the more likelihood there is of its be- j
ing open to mininterprotation.
“No will should be drawn without!
at least a couple of drafts having been
made of it, each one being gone over
carefully with the idea of simplifying
and clarifying it Give the time to it
that the importance of the action de
mands. Know what you want to do
and study out the best way of ex
pressing yourself. Don’t put off mak
ing a will. I’m superstitious enough
to consider that tempting fate. And
when a will is drawn remember that
it has no legal binding unless the sig
nature is witnessed by two persons,
who must themselves witness the doc
ument in the presence of the testator
and each other.”—New York Press.
A BROKEN CUP.
The Way a Queen Saved an Old Serv
ant From Dismissal.
A charming story is told of the for
mer queen regent of Holland, the moth
er of Queen Wilhelmina. The old king
had bought a fine service of Sevres
porcelain for the use of the royal fami
ly, and he gave orders that any serv
ant who should break any piece of it
should be punished by being Instantly j
dismissed. One day a man who had ■
been many years in the royal house
hold confessed to the young queen that
he had broken one of these Sevres
cups. Queen Emma spoke comfort- \
ingly to him and suggested that he
should mend the cup. That, said the
man. would be useless, for the king
would surely notice the cracks. Nev
ertheless the queen told him to mend
the cup as neatly as possible and to be
sure to give it to her that afternoon at
tea time, when the king would be pres
ent. Tea time came, and the queen,
after drinking from the mended cup,
suddenly rose and let it fall to the
floor. It was smashed to atoms.
“Think of me as one of the most
awkward of your majesty’s servants,”
she said humbly. "I have broken one
of your precious Sevres cups. You must
dismiss me at once. I don’t deserve to
be retained in your service.” The arbi
trary old king was highly amused at
her demure manner and considered the
matter a good joke. He never knew
the true story of the broken cup.
Chess and War.
The origin of chess is shrouded in
mystery. There is little doubt, how
ever, that its birthplace was in India
and that it is an offspring of a game
called chaturanga, which is mentioned
in oriental literature as in use fully
200 years before the Christian era.
From India chess spread into Persia
and thence Into Arabia, and ultimately
the Arabs took it into Spain and the
rest of western Europe. The game
was in all probability invented for the
purpose of illustrating the art of war.
The Arab legend upon this point is that
it was devised for the instruction of a
young despot by his father, a learned
Brahman, to teach him that a king
notwithstanding his power was depend
ent for safety upon his subjects. The
Greek historians credit the invention
of the game to Palamedes, who, they
claim, devised it to beguile the tedium
of the siege of Troy during the Trojan
war.
The Slippery Pronoun.
Many are the circumlocutions which
have been devised by civilized races in
order to avoid the bluntness of direct
address. In fact, it may be said that
at the moment when a nation stand
ardizes its language it begins to have
trouble with its pronouns.
“Thou” has of course become obso
lete except in prayer, although it flour
ishes colloquially In the north of Eng
land. The second person plural Is
substituted. In parts of the south
“you all” is heard, a further step to
ward refined elusiveness.
In France and Germany “thou” has
been retained in familiar or semicon
temptuous speech. In Spain and Italy,
on the other band, the third person is
substituted habitually in place of It—
