Far back In what are called U)C tnid
r!’e ages in Europe one vast army offer
nuotlior marched to Palestine with a
Uew to freeing (he holy sepulcher
i roin the iniidei Turk. These crusades.
»s they were colled, produced au epJ*"
den lie of fanalleiaiu whi<l* *t last
seized upon the children. A French
peasant boy about twelve years old
conceived the idea that he had. been
assigned a divine mission to lend the
children to the rescue of the holy
sepulcher. lie oxliortini them, mak
ing them wild with Religious frenzy.
Fifty thousand children wont frotq
(lermnny and 30,000 from France,
i'wo thousand sailed from Hrindusluni
from whom no voice ever camovback.
The French children were betrayed
and sold to Mohammedan masters.
At that lime there lived In .Venice
a hoy named Dluo Coslino, who was
being brought up with a llttlo $lrjt
Gemma, Ills constant playfellow. lMno
never played with boys, Gemrna never
played with girls, because neither
would give up for any time the poclety
of the other. Dlno used to tow Gem
ma In his little gondola on the canals
every day. During these bout rides
they would slug, though the Soups they
knew were very limited, Dlno han
dling the pole. Gemma siltfog in*the
stern with her lute, u stringed Instru
ment much like a mandolin.
iuo ui vnuumn iamicv
clam that resulted lu tho children’#
crusades swept over Europe It carr!e4
Dlno with It. Gemma was a child of
rare foresight for those days and did
not see how children could accomplish
that In which great armies had failed.
Sic* begged Dlno not to go. but ho
claimed that he obeyed a sacred duty
und that the child army would, be made
to prevail by divine interposition.
Dlno bid adieu to his playmate and
sailed out upon the Adriatic with
1 fleet of child laden ships.
Month after month, year after yetu>
passed and no tidings ramo from tho
fleet of children. Gemma from tho
(ir*f had little faith in the success of
the expedition and at last made Up her
mii;d that Dlno would never return to
her. After five years had passed and
she found the same void In her heart
if* of yore she determined to go in
search of her companion, fche was
now seventeen years old. That was
the period of minstrelsy when men
gamed a livelihood by singing, usually

n t'luistlan cPr disguised ns a Turk,
»h< entered the domains of the sultan,
but before doing so she learned some*
thing of tho Turkish language and a
few songs These she sang by the
way, visiting different Turkish cities
and saving nearly all the coins that
were given her
Two years after Gemma had left
Venice sin* found herself one day sil
ting on n bridge itinf crossed n river
dividing u cllv, singing n Turkish song
and accompanying herself on her harp.
By this time she was old enough to
know Unit sho would not be likely to
recognize Dlno, nor would lie know
her. Bho had learned that the Vene
tian crusaders hud been sold into stnv- j
cry and believed that Dlno l^ollvo
was a slave. Indeed, she snw white
slaves frequently, and whenever she
met one about Dlno’s ago she would
sing n song they used to sing on the
canals of Venice.
'While she sat on the bridge u Turk
walked by, followed by a retinue of
eervnnts, among them a tall white
slave nbout twenty-one years old. In
whom there was something to remind
her of the hoy Dlno. She sang a few
notes In an undertone of the song. The
slave stopped and looked at her in as
tonishment. Gemma, though she knew
she had found her quest, had presence
of mind enough to look an order to
him not to notice her, Dlno saw in
the supposed Turkish boy n develop
ment of his chibl friend and restrained
himself. He was iu the rear of the
train of sluves, and Gemma made a
sign to him to go on. Presently she
arose and followed, never losing sight
of him till sho had seen him enftr a
•arge house with Ills master.
The next dhy a slave dealer applied
. to Dino’s master to buy the slave. The
j master would not sell. Dlno, who bad
got word from Gemma that she would
buy 1dm with her savings, set himself
to work to dissatisfy his master with !
him. Many a bastinado he got for re- j
(Using to work, but be persisted, and
at Inst his innRtor consented to sell
| Idm at a low price, which took nearly
I ill tho money Gemma had saved.
When Diiio was turned over to his
ncY.' master there was a joyful meet
ing. Hut when Dino approached to 1
embrace her they were no longer chil
dren. Gemma received his caresses
with blushes. ,
IIow as master and slave they truv
‘•led to the coast and took ship for
Venice would make a happier story 1
; .hou has preceded, but a less eventful
?ne. They arrived safely, and Dino
j*.vas tho only one of the child orusad
' >rs that had sailed away on the Adrl- •
i itic who was over heard from.
A Question For the King.
Divinity doth uot always hedge a
king. There have been many rulers |
tvho could take us well ns give in the (
' joking line. The most striking In* ;
stance of this kind is seen in the case
of Charles M . that good nntured Stu
art. who once asked his chaplain. Dr. |
Stillingtleet:
"How Is it that you always read |
your sermons before me when, ns 1
) understand, you can preach eloqucutly
enough elsewhere without book or
notes?”
The good doctor answered that he |
was so overwhelmed by ids majesty’s
presence that he could not trust hlin
eelteot her wise, continuing. "And now, j
.sire, may ii please you to toll me why 1
you read your speeches when you have j
, no f och excuse: 8t. I.ouis itcpubiic. |
Her Own Coin.
There was quill* a scene the oilier
night at a certain bridge party. A loser
paid a lady wph her own I. O. U ’s.
! Tho lady said it was most ungenlle
j manly She said she wouldn’t have
minded being paid back in her own
rolo. but she disliked paper money.
