They wero walking together on tho riverside. Both wero young, and one was beautiful. Tho crown of her hat was big enough to (It tho bond of the colossal statue of Athena on tho Acropolis at Ath ens. They were talking of lovo nud marriage. Most young couples whllo dawdling talk cither of lovo and mar rlngo or plntoulc friendship, the man taking tho ground that It Is Impossl blc, tho girl that It Is tho most deslr ablo form of affection between tho sexes. "As f6r mo," ho Bnld, "when I marry 1 prefer a girl whom I can lovo with my wholo heart nnd soul." "Then you must get ono with strong personality, good Judgment and nn excellent mind." I wish nothing of tho kind. Giro me a girl with n pink nnd white com plexlon, a pretty pair of roso Hps and not too much brain." "Well, I declarer' "She must not only bo stupid, but must prove herself stupid. No; I will not even tiHist her to do that I will prove her stupid myself." "iou uon t mean what you say, now could you lovo such a girl?" "I lovo her already." She cast a quick glance at him, then bent her eyes to tho ground. Sho had been under tho Impression thnt ho had been falling In lovo with her. Sho was at a los3 to know what this meant Ilnd sbo a rival? "A mau doesn't wish tho counter part of himself In a woman. Her in tellectual gifts repel him; her feminine stupidity delights klm. If sho is strong ho looks upou her as ho would a man. If sho is weak ho longs to protect taud comfort her." "This dunco that you lovo, is sho" "Sho Is not a dunco judged by a proper standard. Thcro must bo ono standard for men nud another for wo men. A man a real man wouldn't know how to take care of n baby at least ho wouldn't do it tho right way. When I was a boy my mother left mo ono afternoon to mind my little sister, eight months old. I wished to go and piny. If 1 could put tho baby to sleep l would bo free. I blew in the little thing's eyes, forcing her to shut them. I kept up this process till sho went to sleep. You see, I didn't know any thing about babies." She thought awhile beforo saying, "It seems to mo that was rather clover for a boy." "But you couldn't lay It down ns a recipe for putting babies to sleep." "No. 1 supposo it wouldn't do nl- ways." Will you kindly tell me," ho asked. breaking awny from tho topic of con versation, "how you women make thoso big crowned hats stay ou tho tops of your heads? 1 don't under stand why they don't slip down over your eyes. If I woro ono of them I'd havo to cut boles to seo through." "Well, you seo, wo women havo a lot of hnlr and all that to till them up." "Oh. I supposed there was somo patent contrivance for tho purpose." "We havo hntplus, you know." "You mean thoso rapiers with coach man's buttons for hilts?" They must bo long to go through tbo largo crowns." 1 see. Would you mind unsheath ing yours nnd letting mo seo tho Insldo of your bat?" She removed tho hatpins and, tak ing off her hat, showed him tho Inner crown. "Why, tbo diameter Is two or thrco Inches less within thnn It Is wlthoutl" "1 don't understand you." 'This part Insldo Is smaller than any man's bat. Thcro is n fnlso luner crown." "There Is a difference, isn't thero?" "I should say so." "I didn't know that" "Bettor put It on again and tbo swords through. It might fall down over your eyes." "I daro say,'.' pouting, "you consider mo very stupid." I havo not left It to you to prove yourself ho. I havo doue It myself. You know I said I would." "In tbo enso of tho creaturo you wished to marry." "There Is a method In my mndness." "Will you kindly explain whoreln tho method lies?" "I told you I wished a stupid girl for a wlfo. Could there bo anything more stupid than a girl wearing one of these hats on her bond and not knowing how it is kept on tho top of her head?" There was a slap with ono hand, a caress with tbo other, Sho may hare been stupid about tbo lint, but she was bright enough to catch his "meth od" nnd, catching It, held her tongue. Indeed, from this point she let htm to do all tho talking, no took her hand nnd whispered a number of lovo- ly things In her ear. Tbey hnd beeu married long enough for tho problems of Ufa to loom up, such ns winter coal bills, gas bills, doctor's fees and other Items that will always bo coming up without being expected. Notwithstanding her stu pidity she proved n good manager. But nt tbo end of tbo first year ono dny her husband received a bill for u now lint tbo nmount of which aston ished him. Ho remonstrated.

Dlreotlont In London. In London and throughout tho tight littlo Island tbo words "up" nnd "down" hnvo a iiecullar significance In going to Loudon from any part of ISnglnud you go "up." In traveling In nny direction from the capital you go "down." So in London Itself every thing goes "up" If It goes In the direct tlou of tbo bank that Is, the Bank of Lnglnnd nud going from thnt center townrd any of the points of the com pass Is to go "down." The word bank, which Is not only nlways spelled with n cnpltal "B," but Is always uttered with nn Impressive' ness that suggests an Initial letter of tho largest type, may bo snld to bo In n sense Interchangeable with city, a term of equal dignity and value in tho eyes of Englishmen nud likewise In variably adorned with a capital "O." Tho city does not monn London by any menus. It means a certain limited section of London, tho part where business Is mainly carried on nnd whero tho great llunnclal Institutions Btand. A Poor Fit. Georgo Graham Vest ouco won n caso for his client by n neat retort. To testify ntralust Vest's client thorn wns brought Into court n certain wit ness whoso 111 favored countenonco matched his unsavory reputation In tbo community. The man's testimony was most unfavorable to tho dofond. ant, nnd so, of course, Vest proceeded to discredit his storv. As tho wltiiosa wns unkempt nnd poorly chid, bis clothes banging about hlin In Innumcr- nuio roius ana wrinkles, tho counsel for the opposing sldo endeavored In tueir turn to mnko it appear that Vest wns making cnpltnl of tbo poor np nenranco of tbo man. Mr. Vest nf course, denied this allegation in thn courso of bis closing remarks, adding: "Gentlemen of tbo Jury, if that man's face fit blm as well as his coat ho would bo a good looking man." Tho Jury returned a verdict for tho defendant Close Range Duels. During tbo first fifty years of tho old American navy, 1708-18-18, tho mortality of nnval officers resulting from duels was two-thirds thnt result ing from nuvnl wars. In tho eighty-two duels listed by n recent writer thirty- six men were killed, nil naval oMcers except three civilians. Tho pur cent of mortality was 22, or live times tho mortality of tlio federal army In the civil wnr. One-half of thoso not killed In these duels wero wounded. Tbo largo number of casualties was un doubtedly duo to tbo short dlstnuco between tho coinlmtauts, which cus tomarily wns only ten paces, or thirty feet. In n few duels tho dlstiinco was even less. In tho Hnrron-Decntur duel it was twenty-four feet und only twelve in tbo Ualnbrldge-Cochrnn duol. Led by the Note.

WHICH WAS MASTER ? By MARY A. DOWERS Copyright, 1910, by American Press Association. It wns a month after their mar rlngo. Not n word had been spoken to Interrupt that current of romance down which they had been snlllng ever since they became conscious that they loved. But thcro Is always a be ginning. "My denr," ho said pettishly, "I sup poso I must go through nnotbor day with a safety pin for a suspender but ton?" "Another day, dearl What do you mcau?" "If I remember nrlght this 13 tho third time I hnvo asked you to re place tbo button that came off u week ago." Sho made no reply, but went to her workbaskot, got out whnt was needed and sewed on tho button. Romance had given placo to reality. rrom thnt moment she begnn the du ties of n wife. Her day was nil for her hiiHbuud. When sho arose In tho morning her llrst duty wns to seo that he had what pleased hlin for break fast. Sbo poured his coffee with her own band. Then when bo had gono for tbo day she superintended tho household nftalrs, planning that every thing might bo In order against his re turn, In the evening she consulted his pleasure. If ho wished to go out sho wont out with him. If he preferred to stay at home sbo stayed homo with him. It seemed to her that thcro was scarcely nn hour in the day that sho was not working for him. And be? Ho went down to business In the morning and worked hard nil day for her. When bis competitors got ahead of hlin, when wrangling over disputed business transactions fretted him, when be failed to make money or when bo met with success it was all for her. She needed cxpon bIvo clothing, and he bought tbein for her. Kvcry spring sho must hnvo new apparel, and tho next spring, though It was not worn or faded, it was no longer In fashion. One season she must have a hat like nn umbrella, nnd tho next It must bo replaced by ono no larger than a dinner plate. Her win ter coat must bo short, and the next year It must bo long. Since the bat could not bo shrunken nor the coat lengthened, tbey must bo cast off and new ones purchased. Ho wondered why garments never grew smaller, bo that thoso purchased tbo year beforo might bo reduced. One day she reproached hlin. "Tho day Is not long enough," slip said, "for me to do all 1 have to do for my master. I did not know when I married you that I was bringing upon myself slavery. As a girl I could do vote all my time to myself. Then 1 wns light hearted becauso I was free. I hnd no one's clothes to mend except my own. 1 hnd no household duties. I spent my leisure time going to thea ters, balls ami such other amusements ns I preferred. Oh, woe Is mo that I should have married and become n slave!" And bo replied: "From morning till night I am down town making money for you to spend for gowns and IiuJh that won't stay in fashion long enough to get tho 'now' off them. I must provldo house rent and sustennneo for you and the thou sand other things that you require, I never go llshing or shooting, as I did beforo I wiih married, for now, having your necessities to supply, I have noth ing left for Indulging In thoso sports of which I used to bo so fond. My fowling piece went Into a fur coat for you, and you are wearing my llshing tncklo on your bend. Ob, woo Is me, that I married mid became a slave!" Ono day a baby cume. The duties (if the wife were cluing ed. Tbo husband returned to tbo uso of snfoty pins in lieu of buttons. She had no longer time to mend his linen. Ills clothing remained lorn. The baby needed all her attention, requiring inoro changes of clothing In a day than her husband needed In a week. Sho spent much time preparing the child's food, ami (hen after sho hnd got it down blm be would throw It up. He had ehnlie most of tho time, during which she must dnudlo blm, walk blm nud give hlin medicines, Kvcry day ho must havo tbo sun and all In bis carriage, and bis mother, un willing to trust him to a nurse, trun dled him herself. When she was not trundling blm sho was making or buy ing clothes for hlin. and when sho was not doing these sbo wns receiving In structions from tbo doctor as to what sho should put Into his stomach and what Bbo should put over it. And tho husband. Ho was now glad to got downtown In tho mornltig to escape tbo baby's squalls. Ho passed most or tho night walking his son back and forth when tho boy bad colic nnd was tired out with loss of Bleep. But In his ollico thero was quiot. Besides, In bis office bo was master, which bo was not at home. Ono morning the husband, who had taken euro of tho baby during tho night that hls-wlfo might get "n littlo sleep," begnn the old plaint. "I am your slave." Thin awakened her own former words, "It Is l who am your slave." This started the wrangle ncaln. Words wero getting high when there was n diversion. There iiiiuo n sudden yell from tbo crib.
