The girl sat always In the front seats and in time became ai much of n fix ture as the German gentleman who led Ihe orchestra, At first she cdme to see the performance and applaud the nar row escapes and lofty sentiment pe culiar to the drama presented at this certain theater. At the last she came solely to look upon the. leading man with the eyes of admiration and eight een, ", , At this stage she wrote him a teller, youthfully supposing herself the first to do such a daring tiling. It was n very nice letter, original only because of its utter sincerity. It said that she ad mired his work more than she could Kay; that she considered him one of the greatest actors thnt ever lived (under lined) and that she wan very sincerely Mis Florence Armnghdale, which was not her own name at all, but one bor rowed' Croni.' a. favorite . romance be cause her own was not pretty aud end ed In "th." This was done, moreover, not 'com any motives of prudence, but simply because the Ideal, being one of the (ofty and . artistic lights of the eiirih, might be shocked at such a '.com m an appellation. However, her own uddrens was at the bottom of tho letter. There was no more reason why he should have answered this than any of the ninety, and nine of the same caliber lie received dally. Jt.nmy bo because something in It pleased him, the major ity of the notes he received beinr niore reiimrKanie tor rp'M , JTowevcr, answer it he did.

The girl read this note with the feel ing that: she had nein picked from the multitude to, receive 1 be laurel crown of fame. Naturally she answered it mid received another In return. This" went on for a month or so, one side becoming ..more nmused and the '..other, more-in earnest every day. All jthe while the ideal stood in a becomiug light and was as excellent a graven im age to worship a:t heart could wish.'.'. ... The ' crash came almost before the pedestal bad time to totter. It occur red in the largest restaurant in the town "" anything but an appropriate .background for, Mitch a trage;y.

They wore having supper Jn n little room tm'.y separated from the main restau rant by carelessly drawn curtains. It .was doubtless some merry , jest, of the gods that made the Ideal and two of his friends choose the table almost direct ly outside for their , customary even ing repast. '.- , The little party inside of the cnitains hnd a gveat deal to say and, after the fashion of youth, were making a. fair amount of noise doing it. It was'; some time before n certain voice struck them as strangplyfa.mil- gnilantly that' all womea were tools, with which his friends agreed.

The opinion was delivered unun the conviction of John McPaul, charged . with violation of the ordin ance. The opinion follows: "By tlie term 'go3-goo eyeV is mean' any contort on, unusual movement or any ftxeil unu.nial attitude of ih3 eyes providing the r)iiid contortion. ' unu sual movement, or unusual ftxeJ a:- titmle is made with the indent of at traciing, alluring or coujurng the at tendon of any wcnian cr female a- the eaid ordinance r.?cliei.

A stare I? a goo-goo if it is committed with intent; a wink, accompanied by intent s .goo-goo, likewise the cock ing of an eye, ogling, making wide eyes, all com.1 witiiin the broad sweep of the term 'goo-gco' if accompanied by intent. , The meat of the nut is intent. Without it no person is guilty of the crime of goo-gooing.' The preponder ence of the evidence must be upon the prosecut'en. From the acta of the person making tlie unusual movement or mainttaining the unusual attitude of the eyes are his lntcntinons to be (Ht?rm!neJ. lie could hot, for instance, be ac cused of making goo-goo eyes In the presence of men only, nor if he" .were alone upon th3 street.

She dropped her head until her' face was almost bidden, because It seemed that if she showed It that, letter would be written In black lines from her fore head to her chin. ' She found herself remembering dumbly how every word in that letter bad stood In the line and every line on .the page. ..' She found herself on tlie street pres ently without much recollection of how she got there, listening to the freckled boy's opinion of the Ideal, aud every' word seemed to be directed to herself, Tfie walk home was not a loin: one. The other girls rehearsed the affair with the delight of persons who have experienced the treat of a lifetime, but lite red haired boy walked beside her and held her arm closely all the way and wondered what made her so quiet. And so the ideal went down with a crash, and not the littlest piece was left that might be joined to another and made wliole, and It was some time before the dustpan of resignation was called Into service But, after all, it was the mentis of teaching the girl two things that .proved of great .value, In her after life first, that it is never de sirable to deliberately prepare for one self n dish of bitter, black shame that chokes one as It. goes down, and, sec ond, that n man who Is not given or dinarily to the voicing of noble senti ments may carry an exceedingly good urn i . - -.. u 1 1 'thatch of red Iiair and an unheroic figure. i: 1 AH Hie Cotirnon.

The report here is that the place now held b yGeorge VV.

Color is given to the report by the act that Mr. Cortelyou and Mr. Per kins bad. a conference at the Mount Waslj.ngton hotel, I? ret ton Woods, N. H., Sunday. Mr. Cortelyou has not yet ( returned to Wasbingion. It has b cn President Roosevelt's plan to make Mr. Cortelyou Secretary of the Treasury when Leslie M. Shaw retires next February.

Mr. Cortelyou has no resources beyond his salary. ' When the internecine war In the Equitablo Life was at i!s height last ?nrine there were munv renorts that to Cortelyou hail been ottered the presidency of that company.
