PERK
By ELIZABETH DE DOER
(Copyright, 1910, McClure Newspaper Syn
dicate.) Three of the famous four mit In their
banner-hung den. Suddenly Ted
Morse, cnptnln of the crow, rose, and
dramatically pounding his tnnned list
upon tho desk, said:
"Look here, follows, wo'vo got to do
something about Perk!"
Slip Morgan punched tho white II
on n.rod pillow nnd throw It nt Bill
Mltton, trnck champion. Slip was
Bliortstop on the Imsobnll toMm.
"Come off of thnt, Morgan," the af
flicted drawled, "Whnt'll wo do about
Perk?"
Tod took the floor.
"This Is tho way things stand. We're
graduating this year and I'm having
the famous four spend tho summer
with mo on Long Islnnd. AVe'II have
n big time, but look nt Pork! He'll
probably ship a young library home
before lie comes. Thnt lad's tho bright
est man In college j but boys, he's miss
ing life." One hnnd was flourished
In tho smoke-heavy air. "What girl
would glvo a row of pins for n mnn
who's nlwnys burled In books? They
don't care If he graduates summa
cum laude. What they want to know
is, if he broko his ankle In footbnll 1
or won a cup In tennis. And the
worst of It Is," tho speaker registered
deep emotion, "Perk Is so very good
looking 1"
"Yes," Slip finshed, "a month's train
ing would make him the biggest bug
on the team. Dut no, he prefers to
write books on electricity."
Three long groans !
Bill spoke next.
"Perk is a wonder, but Ted said It,
he's missed life, and It's up to us to
force It upon him. The question Is,
how?"
Inspiration soared Into tho room and
Slip's inevitable hnnd leaped to catch
It Tho game Is on. i
Perk was lennlng over Miss Mny.
When one Is six feet two and one's
partner In Ave feet, one nnturnlly
leans over. A becoming pink hnd
flwept his face nnd a painful expres
sion, thnt of absolute resignation, hid
beneath It. Miss Mny spoke prettily.
"Oh, Mr. Perkins, It must bo won
derful to be famous In college."
Perk wns afraid to contrndlct, but
denied fame bravely. Miss May was
determined.
"You mustn't try to deny It," she
fihook a pink forefinger nt him, "for
Ted hns told us nil about you, nnd,"
Bhe looked sweetly up, "personally, I
had much rather bo famous In sports
than tho brightest man In college. I
just love baseball, nnd they say you
are so splendid.
Perk gasped I This was Ted's work I
Ted's and the other two. They hnd
told all tho young ladles present thnt
he was a college-fnmed athlete, and,
try hard as ho could to deny It all,
the girls had henped him with admir
ing nttentlon. Perk snw tho object of
his temporary hutj grinning ncross tho
dance hall and would have given his
summa cum laude to hit him.
Thnt night words burned between
tlie fnmous four.
"Yes, they all bellevo it and they're
going to keep on believing It," Ted
quietly Informed his former roommnte.
"It's just n llttlo lcsson tho college for
cot, old mnn, nnd you owe your pres
ent popularity to us."
"Thanks," said Perk bitterly, "espe
cially In tho enso of Snlly Byron," but
the boys laughed and Perk reddened
resigned.
Tho next day Perk took Sally canoe
ing. Things hnd progressed. They
were already applying first nnmcs.
"What a wonderfully steady stroke
you have, Perk," Sally complimented.
"I supposo you acquired thnt from
practicing In thecrow."
"I novcr " Perk began, but never
ended.
As tho dny went on ho suffered
more, but ho learned. lie took n new
interest in sports nnd they suited him
eo perfectly. Ills books wero for
gotten, not too much, but enough. And
three of the fnmous four wagged their
heads approvingly then jubilantly
for Perk had fullen in lovo.'
A Sunday evening wns being herald
ed by n goldcn-purplo sunset nnd
Perk had enticed It took very llttlo
enticing Sally to tho shore. They
sat quietly, Sally's small hand hidden
In tho man's big one. With th6 last
lingering rnys of tho setting sun, Perk
turned to tho girl beside him.
"Snlly," ho said quietly, studiedly.
"I liavo something I want to toll you.
I hnven't plnyed fair I've Hod." Tho
girl's eyes widened but sho made no
reply, lie went on:
"Tho boys tried to piny a llttlo Joko
on me, but they cnrrled It n bit far,
nnd I didn't havo tho ncrvo to deny It.
They said I was, a big nthleto In col
lego and, well, I'm not I'm nothing
In n girl's opinion In yours. I didn't
realize what It would menu to a girl
llko you and I went In for tho biggest
things thnt Interested me books. I
wns all wrong, but It's too late. I
don't suppose," he dropped her hand
and looked away, "I can 4iopo to bo
forgiven, but I want you to know how
hard It's been to tell you this, be
cause," his eyes found hers, "I lovo
you."
Sho smiled hnpplly.
"Perk, dearest," I knew all tho time.
Ted let mo In on tho llttlo Joke, nnd I
think It's dono you good. It's broad
ened your views and Interest) and,"
Alio looked adorable, "and It's proved

BEFORE DAY OF GUNPOWDER
Soldiers Were Capable of Dolnjj Con
siderable Execution With the
ow and Arrow.
The first "gnu" used In warfare wan
undoubtedly the crossbow arbalest
of the type having a reflex composite
bow made of wood, sinew, horn or
whalebone, nnd wound tip with i
rachet or "crnnnnquln," which slipped
on ovor the stock nnd wns held In
place by a loop controlled by a trans
verse peg In tho stock Just behind the
lock.
This weapon reached its highest
development In Germany under Mnxl
mlllnn, when It had n steel bow of
Immense power. There Is one In thu
Boston niuxemn with n bow of over
two and ono-half Inches wide and near
ly three-fourths of an Inch thick. In
central Europe, France nnd Spain the
bow was not used much save by the
people who came under Mohnmmedan
Influence. The cross-bow being a much
easier weapon to use, It was forbidden
lti England to anyone not having a
certain Income, in order thnt tho yeo
men nnd common people should be
forced to use the long bow, which In
military purposes wns vastly superior
on account of the rapidity of Its fire,
although outranged by tho crossbow.
It had one grcnt advantage of light
noss. A military crossbow with wind
lass weighs about 20 pounds.
REVOLUTION IN OLD EGYPT
Records Tell of Uprising Which Evi
dently Ended Unhappily for the
Rebellious Citizens.
A recently deciphered papyrus
shows n pretty revolutionary spirit
among the Egyptians In the year 2000
B. 0., or nearly 4,000 years before
the French thought of an upheaval.
The period Is between the old and tho
middle kingdom, and an Egyptian
sage plaintively Invites the king to
snve his people In telling him of the
conditions of the country. He tells
him that "thnt Is past which yester
day could be seen. The lnnd turns
like a potter's wheel. The noblo cry
out nnd the poor aro full of Joy. Ench
town snys, 'Let us drive the strong
from without our midst I Those who
wore clothes aro now in rags. Noblo
women trail through the land, and
housewives say, 'Had we only some
thing to entl' . . . The poor pos
sess lordly things, and those who
could, buy themselves no sandnls now
hnve treasure. . . . The peoplo
have dethroned the king nnd perse
cuted his ofllclnls." Thnt the revolu
tion was u success seems hnrdly to
hnve been tlie case, for the papyrus
goes on to say that laughter has gone ;
misery Is In tho land; big and small
say, "If only I were dead."
Up a Tree.
While In Africa recently Mr. A. 8.
Le Souef, director of the Taronga
;soo (Sydney), snw plenty of elephants,
hlch were destructive to the crops
put In by the natives of the Uganda
country. Ho also observed the body
of a small antelope about 14 feet up
a tree. The enrenss of the antelope
had been put lit this position for
sufo keeping, by leopnrds. "These
members of the cat family nre hnnd
roine, and extremely active," says Mr.
Le Souef. "They play about In clear
places In the forest, tenr up the
ground, and spring far up the trees.
They are most active, but they do
not readily nttnek humnnlty, unless
It bo a child at evening, nnd they
nro hungry. Tho beauty of their fur
makes them desirable for a zoo and
for rugs, but tho number that mny be
killed Is limited. I snw the beautiful
Colobus monkey, which, in spite of its
striking black-and-white coloring, was
difficult to observe among the Juniper
trees from whoso brnnches hung long
pieces of lichen."

helped to save a woman clerk who was
In danger,. The offlcer informed the
wife of this, thinking she would not
only be relloved but proud of the hus

Length of Llfo Extended.
In 1348-60, 25,000,000 denths from
the plnguo or "black death" occurred,
which was one-fourth of the entire
population of tho world at thnt time.
The average length of life In tho six
teenth century wns only 21 years,
while In this, tho twentieth century,
the average life Is forty-flyo yenrs. In
India, however, the average life
today Is only twenty-four years.
We are enabled to see what the sci

more civilized countries, where igno
rance and superstition do not prevail
to any great extent.

CELESTA
By BRUCE BERESFORD
(Copyright, 1919, by the Wt-Urn Nawi
pnptr Union.)
When father wtis cross and mother
tired out mid sister Emmii In n bad
temper, pretty, gentle Aldn Percy had
nn unfailing source of respite and
pleasure Celestn.
Celesta was her pet canary. lie was
nothing of u singer, although he had
n full vocabulary of llttlo chirpings,
of odd express Ivoness, covering :i gamut
from pitiful,, pleading down to the
hnrslt Inflections of complaint and
scolding. As to his cute capers and
tricks, his gyrations on his porch and
his taking ways of daintily picking a
cherry from Alda's own ruby lips and
swinging on her neck chain extended
lengthwise, he was acrobatic, entertain
ing, guest and lover all In one. He
greeted her with Joyful whistle at
dawn and nil but kissed her good
night. Friends might prove false and
suitors tiresome, but Celesta thought
only of Alda, lived only for her, and
when one dny he lay dead In the bot
tom of his cage Alda could not have
mourned more sincerely If It had
been a cherished member of the fam
ily. Alda took no one Into the matter of
the final disposition of her dead pet.
"If there Is a bird's heaven," she
told her mother, "Celesta's spirit has
gone there. As to the poor llttlo body.
It shall go bnck to the elements of nn
ture thnt composed It."
So Alda went down to the basement
where the Janitor hnd his ofllce. She
had been to the florist's nnd had ob
tained a little box lined with soft
white cotton. In this she placed the
dead bird, covering him with flowers.
Q'hls Impromptu casket she covered
with folds of soft tissue paper. The
Janitor wns conversing with u bright
fnced, well dressed young man ns Alda
entered tho ofllce.
"Mr. Nelson," she spoke, extending
the pnrcel In her hnnd, "will you
please place this In the furnace. It Is
my dead pet bird, Celesta, and I hnve
no plnce to bury him."
The. young mnn hnd drawn aside to
afford Alda nn opportunity to proffer
her request. As she told the object of
her mission he removed his hat, anil
Alda was grateful for what she took
to be n recognition of respect, fond in
terest in the dead companion of ninny
happy hours. Tears were In her eyes
ns she parted with all that remained
of her little favorite. She turned away
with only a casual glance at the young
man.
It wns an Impulsive remark of a
close girl friend thnt caused her new
uneasiness nnd worry after she hnd
become quite resigned to her loss.
Aldn hnd told this friend of the fnte
of the little bird. "'Oh, Alda! how
could you have consented to such a
shocking thing ns having poor Celesta
burned up!" exclaimed Winnie Tow
ner, nnd the more Alda thoucht of the
net the deeper grew her regret and
melancholy." One dny she enme across
xne janitor.
"Of course you disposed of my bird
ns I suggested?" said Aldu.
"No, Miss. I didn't." came tho nnin-.-
Ing reply. "Young Mr. Worrell asked
me all about you that day you came
to my otiice. lie opened the little box
and saw the flowers and everything.
kelson.' he says to mo. 'I will tnkn
charge of this. Wo have a quiet pretty
spot In our home garden 'where I am
going to bury it.'"
"And who Is Mr. Worrell?" ones-
tinned Alda, n load seeming to have
been lifted from her heart.
"He and his sister own the buildiiiir
here," explnlned the Janitor. "He Is
tho young mnn who was here the day
you brought the bird to me. Ho anil
Ms sister live In tho big house with an
lion fence all around n beautiful gar
den up on Mersey street, onnosltn tlie
library building."
So llttlo Celestn had appealed to
other hearts than her own I A feel
ing of tho most fervent gratitude to
ward Blake Worrell came to Alda, to
remain permanently. Ono pleasant nf
ternoon sho walked slowly by the
plnco the Jnnltor described. Aldu look
ed beyond tho fenets ncross the lovely
flower beds nnd shrubbery, wondering
where the grave of Celestn could be,
und experiencing a sensation of rare
relief and gladness to rcnllzo thnt her
favorlto reposed amid such beauty nnd
peace.
A mnn nnd a woman came from the
house nnd turned down the street
toward the spot where Aldn stood.
She recognized the young mnn of the
Junltor's room. He hnlf pnused,
slightly lifted Ids hat and passed on
whllo Alda flushed, sho knew not why.
The pair halted a few feet further
on nnd the sweet fnced lady, Worrell's
sister, came back to Alda.
"My brother tells mo you are Miss
Percy," she spoke. "Can I venture to
think that you would like to seo whore
we hnvo placed Celesta, alongside of
two of our own remembered house
hold pets?"
Thnt broke the ice and let loose a
flood of fervid emotions in tho Impres
sible Aldn. The three visited n llttlo
mound In n peaceful corner of tho
lovely gnrden, nnd when they pnrted
Aldn wns warmly Invited to again
meet theso true souled people, whoso
thoughts were so closely in harmony
with her own.
And with tho first flowers of spring
bloMiomlng, It wns by the side of her
huobnml that Aldn Worrell looked
down upon tho little mound so pre
cious to both.
