Her Johnnie Morgan.
BY WILLIAM WENDHAM.
Copyright. 1901. by Daily Story- Pub. CoJ
His name was not Johnnie Morgan;
:t was Antonio Pansado. But from
that day almost a year ago when she
first heard and saw him, a very dirty
and Tery picturesque Italian violinist,
fiddling his way through the tightened
puree strings and into the hearts of all
who heard him. she had christened
him and to herself had called him
"Johnnie Morgan." Almost a year it
was and to her the shortest year she
bad ever llrcd. for It -seemed as If this
Antonio had brought with him into
her life the blue sky and the sunshine
of his own Italy.
Miss Anna Gilbert was the teacher
ot drawing and painting in the Girls'
College at Madisonville, and was more
belored than any teacher of the col
lege had ever been before. The title
which the girl3 had given her, "Saint
Anna," was truly deserved, for bo
thickly did she eow the seeds of good
ness about her that had her harvest of
thanks from poor struggling students
been wheat at the right time of the
market It would have given her a
princess income.
During her youth, for it must be
confessed her youth was mostly be
hind her, she had worked and sacri
ficed for her parents until their death,
and then she struggled for the educa
tion of her younger brother and sis
ter. One gray October morning on her
way to work she bad been struck by
the evident genius of the young Italian,
who was playing his violin on the
Btreet. Always attracted by music she
stopped to listen and was struck by
the combination of poverty and genius
in the handsome young fellow.
He certainly was unusually hand
some and he looked even younger than
he was fcr his face possessed a great
sincerity and Ingenuousness of expres
sion. The soft dark. eye3 and olive
skin were enhanced by the exceeding
thinness of the face and by the hun
gry look In the eyes a hunger for spir
itual and mental as well as physi
cal food, which, shining from those
aark eyes appealed directly and power
fully to this warm-hearted woman.
Knowing of an opening in the college
tTiie quietly put the man and the op
portunity together, with the result that
'.he Italian, within a month, was giv
jig lessons to a class. And the class
irew immediately from three to thir
teen. To bis patroness he owed all, and
aevcr did te cease to pour out to her
A picturesque Italian violinist.
ils gratitude. He treated her with the
greatest reverence and when walking
orne with her or meeting her coming
0 her duties he would hold open the
.ate or raise his hat as if she were a
princess. Then she got into the habit
if asking him to come in when he
talked home with her and of making
1 cup of tea in her little bachelor room,
rhtch always seemed cosy and pleas
int to them both, and had made his

discovered that he was saving almost
all his earnings toward a sum which
would enable him to bring over his
old father and mother.
He poured out his music to Miss
Gilbert, as he did his troubles, with
those "foolish girls who will not work
at ze lesson." And to all his plans
and troubles she listened with sym
pathy. as she always had done to any
of the students In whom she was tak
ing a special interest. But sympathy
and friendliness in a woman's heart
toward a man, when the man is young,
"He Is her Johnnie Morgan."
handsome and manly, is going to grow
into love as surely as the acorn which
Dame Nature also planted is going to
grow into an oak.
One June day after be bad walked
home with her she sat in her room
and with many blushes faced it faced
this fact that she loved the violinist.
The song was all true: She loved her
"Johnnie Morgan." And why not? she
asked herself. Had she not worked
hard for others all her life and been
faithful in all things? Was it not
right that the sunshine of love and
happiness should come into her life.
She dreamed that night of a cottage
filled with the music of a violin; and
never had she looked so radiant and
so young as she did the next day.
"I had a letter this morning from
my little sister," she said to Antonio
the next evening as he walked home
with her. "She is coming next week
to spend her vacation with me."
"Ah. the little sister. 1 shall love
the little child for the sake of Saint
Anna.' exclaimed Antonio.
Saint Anna laughed.
"Oh, she's not so small as all that."
she replied. Saidie is eighteen and a
great tall girl, but I call her my littl3
sister because she always has been my
baby. She has been at Normal school
and next season she will begin to
teach."
Saidie came, .and a rosebud of rare
perfection she was a perfect typo ol
blonde beauty, with a warm heart and
a vivacity which charmed all who met
her. To her physical charms she add
ed a character built on strongest foun
dations, for to this baby sister had
Miss Anna given all the loving care
and earnestness of thought, ail the
building up of ideals that she had
missed in her own girlhood and ac
quired in her hard battles with the
world.
The next time Antonio walked home
with his "St, Anna" she insisted that
he come in and see the "little sister."
He came and they had a cup of tea.
and Antonio, who was prepared to
make himself agreeable for the sake
of his patroness and friend, soon for
got all about her In the presence of
the sparkling youth and beauty of Sal
die. He came more often than ever
after that and sat In undisguised rap
ture and adoration at the feet of the
younger girl. Nor was she leas at
tracted by the dark faced foreigner
with the soft black eyes.
As Miss Anna watched them It all :
came to her and she saw, not aa
through a glass darkly, but as In the
glare of the morning light, how it all
was and would be. She had built up
these two, had given them sustenance
from her own nature, had fed their
souls and warmed their hearts, for
this very thing. And what could be
better, she thought, than that these
two young things, full of life and love
and the sunshine of the present and
promise of the future, should love each
other. Nothing, she told herself, noth
ing could be better. It was natural.
It was rigit.
As she stood in front of her glass
rhc looked closely, at herself, scanning
her features critically.
"You thought you could be young
asain?" she said, "but you had more
than ten years against you."
She looked closely at her heavy
brown hair and noting the few gray
hairs about the temples she smiled a
little sadly to herself. She looked lov
ingly at Saidie, asleep on the bed. and
said softly:
"He is her Johnnie Morgan." and
then with a weary sigh. "Oh, how glad
I am that Wellesley needs another
drawing teacher next year."
If Saidie had been awake instead of
asleep she might have seen above the
head of St. Anna, the ring of white
light which crowned the head of this
saint in this her supreme hour of sac
rifice. SOLD THEIR WIVES.
Certain Classes In England Bcllere They
May Sell Their Spouses.
In March, 1796, the London Times
announced the sale of a wife in Shef
field for sixpence, and a little while
afterward the same paper solemnly in
formed the public that the price of
wives had risen in Smithfield market
from half a guinea to three guineas
and a half. In 1803 it is recorded a
man led his wife by a halter into the
cattle market at Sheffield and sold her
for a guinea. The market value of a
wife seems to have dropped as the
century grew older, for in 1820 a
worthy husband in Canterbury placed
his wife in a cattle pen and disposed
of her for five shillings. In 1855 the
people of Derby had the opportunity
of bujing a wife of one of their fellow
townsmen. The woman was led to the
market place with a halter round her
waist and was knocked down for
eighteen pence and a quart of bser.
In the '80s a collier sold his wife at
Alfreton. in Derbyshire, for four pence
and in the same decade two Sheffield
men agreed to the buying and selling
of a wife in a public house. "At the
Royal Oak, Sheffield." the agreement
ran: "I, Abraham Boothroyd. agreed
to sell my wife, Clare, to William
Hall, both of Sheffield, for the sum or
five shillings." There is not even
the relief in these cases of consoling
one's self with the reflection that the
sale of the wife is a thing of impulse.
Often enough it is a deliberate com
mercial transaction in cold blood,
as in the case that came to light a
few years ago in which the wife, with
her parents and two friends, met to
arrange the terms of the sale. The
price was fixed at thirty shillings and
the bill of sale ran: "Mr. to
have my wife, Elizabeth , free
from me forever, to do as she has a
mind, this day, Dec. 11. 1893." The
notion that a man may sell his wife
and marry again is common among
certain classes of the English popula
tion. A prisoner at Leeds on h'.s trial
for bigamy pleaded that the . charge
could not stand, as he bad sold his
wife for three shillings six pence, and
was therefore entitled to marry again.
The case is barely six years old.
About the same time another instance
was reported from a village near Don
caster, the circumstances coming to
light in the police court. "I. Enoch
Childs." the agreement ran, "is quite
willing to take your wife and children
as mine, that is, your wife Ellen Tart,
and Sarah, John, Henry and Eliza."
The paper was signed by the wife of
the purchaser and dated "New Conis
borough, March 28, 1896." Chicago

KING AND A PEASANT'S COW.
Italian Knler Guards Animal for - an
Aged Woman.
Some days ago the King and Queen
of Italy took a long promenade in the
neighborhood of their chateau of Rac
conigi, their summer residence. The
Queen suddenly became intensely
thirsty. Perceiving an old woman near
who was watching a cow the King re
quested her to give him a little milk.
The peasant, ignorant of the quality
of her guests, pretended that her cow
gave no milk. "But you have some
water at your house," continued the
King. "That' yes," replied the old wo
man. "Could you get some for me?"
"If you would keep my cow while I
went for it." "Agreed," replied Victor
Emmanuel in the most serious fashion
in the world. At the end of ten min
utes the old woman returned with a
bowl of fresh water. "But how does It
happen," demanded the King, "that
there are so few people in the coun
try?" "They have all gone down to
the chateau to see the King.the Queen
and the little Princess. It is only we
old ones that one leaves at the house
and who will never see them." "But
you see them, my worthy woman," re
plied the fling, giving her a new gold
piece. "We are the King and Queen."
The peasant woman began to tremble
and in despairing voice cried: "Par
don me, Sire. I did not know." The
Queen bad all the trouble in the world
to calm the poor woman, who kept
repeating: "To think that I have given
my cow to guard to the King!"

I Society Woman Raises Track.
Near the pretty little town of Derby,
Conn., is a farm which is managed by
a gifted society woman who in her
day has figured conspicuously in most
European courts. The woman is Miss
Frederica Sanford, daughter of Henry
S. Sanford. at one time United States
minister to Belgium. Miss Sanford
personally supervises and works the
place, raising "garden truck" and
chickens. These she takes to Derby
regularly, finding ready sale in the
markets and hotels for all she can of
fer. Her widowed mother and her
younger sister, Wllhelmina, live in
the old Sanford homestead in town.
Here Miss Sanford generally passes
her nights, but from early spring till
late in the fall Bhe is up and away to
her truck farm at daylight, often re
maining there till sundown. In this
way she makes a comfortable if sim
ple living for the family, besides be
ing able to indulge in some of the ele
gancies. Fighting Temperature Is SS.
Professor Dexter, of the University
of Illinois, has been investigating the
effects of weather on morals and finds
that the desire to fight rises with the
thermometer, but stops at 85 degrees;
wilts after that as the mercury rises.
Assault cases are therefore commoner
in summer than In winter. Drunken
ness, however, lessens with summer
and increases with the coming of cold.
Suicides are at a minimum on bright
days with a high barometer and in

The Invitation Misunderstood.
The widow of a prominent member
of a sporting club who recently died
is much Incensed, it is said, over the
officiating priest's choice of words at
the funeral obsequies. The club mem
bers are heavy drinkers, and it is well
known that on their excursions in a
body their favorite drink is beer. By
invitation of the widow they were in
attendance at the funeral, and at the
close of the " ceremony the reverend
father brought down upon himself the
wrath of the widow and marred the
solemnity of the occasion by request
ing that the members of the club
would now pass around the bier."

"Not In the Trott."
This Is a favorite expression with
persons who have goods on hand that
they wish to se:i to the public. But
their goods are not always good. Neith
er have they a right at all times
to claim that they are "not in th3
trust." As a matter of fact they gen-
erally are in the trust. Trusts know.
the advantage of advertising their
goods as "not in the trust." It helps
them to sell an inferior article that
they may pay dividends on watered
stock. The Defiance Starch company
has no false stock on which to pay
dividends. They simply manufacture
the best starch that is made anywhere
in the world, and sell 16 ounces for
ten cents. Ask your grocer for It.
