noon, while he was on his way down
from the capltol. He picked the nick

piece?" Ten people, white and black,
promptly said In chorus: "I did."
"All right," said Reeder, as he slid for

"SIR KNIGHT"
lly f AI TAIN T. VH DI.IV.
Coyjri)htil, 1X by Tft Aul.'on dMUhing Conp my
Tho man stooped down and lifted
the vines.
His great resolve was theu and there
registered with tlod a resolve asj
magnilleent bh ever chlvalric quest by
any knight of old. Only a plain Cali
fornia rancher, with the heyday of
youth and Its romance apparently
B'me forever. Only Joel Ilrown, tho
man thnt worked hard, harder than
most of his neighbors, to make his
blackberries pay.
Two women were engaged in har
vesting the glorious abundance. A
girl was picking alone at the end of
the patch. Joel on his knees, raising
tho lower branches, was hidden from
the women.
"What do you think he will do
now?"
"Nay; do not ask me, you cannot
get anything out of her. I herrd she
was going to the city."
"What will she U there, I'd like to
know?"
"Get lost like the rest of them. I
suppose," said the woman in answer,
with a little sigh. "Hut thore, she
might, get her chapot among tho
crowd."
"What could she do with bar baby?"
"Oh, in the city there's ways of leav
ing It in asylums, whllfti she goes to
work."
The girl at th en 1 nf I ho patch
stood up. She looked af. the ch.udless
blue a dome of unfathomable azure.
Its Immensity awed hnr. rite had
found her earth so small vo escap'.
in it anywhere -and hire it seenie.l
so vast. She felt the presence of t'le
sky, for tho tlest time in her life.
Joel Drown knelt n the vina
alone with his resolve.
The girl went by, her face turned lo
the sky. Its look of appeal Vas pa
thetic in its childishness. H'. let her
pass, and turned his face up-ard also.
Mechanically he went on p'.-king. The
resolve had claimed him: he was out
of himself, bathed in a r.trange glory
that swept the rest of tl.e world away
from him. As if it hrd happened in
a Ions past, he heard tho women say
ing: "What will nhe 'o in the city?"
"Get lost like t,,e rest of them, I
suppose."
Tho crimson inelloed iut glowing
amber. In tho hush camo the sound
of tho distant chimes from the mis
sion of Santa Rarbara.
He stood up and bared his head
this man accounted a pagan by his
neighbors.
Somehow the girl's fac and pic
tures of the Great Mother, were trans
fused in him.
He stroked his sleeve across his
eyes as if clearing his vision.
"Tired, Mr.' Ilrown? So be we. So
it's quit for to-night, then."
Without speaking he took out his
leather purse, ami. counting their
work, paid them.
"Shall you want me to-morrow?"
asked the girl in a low voice. Speech
was an effort.
"No." Ills voice sounded strangely
barsh. It startled and frightened
him; it was so at ianeg with his
resolve.
"Put your boxes In the crates," he
said, pointing to a few scattered
empty ones at the end o tho patch'

whore she had been picking, and
turned away.
"Oh! I wish I was dond. I wish I
was dead, Indeed I do."
Such a rhlldihh gesture for such
pitiful words. Joel Hrown heard and
saw both. It rill seemed so out nf
plurrt lr. the midst of tho raliti and
peace of the mellow light. Shu wns
but a shred of a girl, sevi-nlecn at
most.
"Ruth." Why did his voice sound so
lint nil when lie meant It all other
wist? "Ruth, listen lo me. Do you
know why I didn't want ynn to pick
blackberries to-morrow? Then I will
tell )m, Ruth. vnnt you to he my
wife. I want to marry you. my girl. I
have got an Idea thnt ran make you
hnppy. 1 have an Idea that in this
house you Kin K t to feel a' bit

stronger "yes. Ruth, I have an idea,
too. that If yell give me that child,
we'll call it our'n, do you see?"
Ruth listened to hint as if she were
dreaming. Joel saw that she was but
half comprehending; his voice uncon
sciously became sterner.
"1 want you for my wife, Ruth."
All It meunt came on her as a Mood.
"Oh, I cannot, I cannot. People will
say as I was alius bad, if I let. you
go and marry me," and she burst into
tear'
Suddenly and passionately she ex
claimed: "l never meant to be I
wanted alius to be a good girl; 1 "
"Ruth, listen to me. 1 think you
n.v. got to have uit. I think before
God you have got to be my wife. You
have got to come me, and be safe.
And once my wife, damn the soul of
"I want you for my wife, Ruth."
anyone that says aword agin you or
the young one, if I m anigli."
He saw a passion of hope creep in
her face. Very tenderly now lie spoke,
tho harshness had all flown.
"Trust me, Ruth. 1 will treat you
awful gentle. 1 have Idea you will
get happiness. Of -'irse you'll be
wanting the place liirnished; there's
plenty in the hnnk to do that. And
mebbe you'll want a kitchen built on
to the side. And when the blackberry
season is over we will buy a new
dress or two antl go up to Sun Fran
cisco, and make believe we never had
a sorrow, and mebbe we'll say nothing
to nobody, ami (his last wns the ut
most he could advance as a vision to
dazzle), we'll go to the Ihe-u ter."
One afternoon w-e looked again to
the sky.
"Joel, no, dear, .'ou t think I want
you to read to me not now; lift me
up a hit; there, that's easier." She
took the book from him it was "Pays
of Chivalry." "There's something I
want to say to you, Joel. That's good"
his arms were supiuirting her, she
put hers round his neck "no, It's not
about little Susie you can't do wrong
to her, you'll do more lor her than I
could ever think of. Ah! I can see
the women picking the blackberries,
all the way from here. No, dear,
what I want to say is, when I am
gone and you know I am going soon,
don't you, dear? I want you to know
when you look at the hooks, that 1
understand that in all of them I hero
had been no knights, no, not. one that
carried a lance, that did more splen
didly in any tournament than you
who fought for me! I hopo God will
let me go while I am asleep, one time
after I have kissed you and said
'Thank you, Sir Knight.' "
One evening as the mission bells
gently chimed In the distance and the
sun was setting, resplendent in amber
and gold, Joel hint down to hear a
faint whisper
"Thank you, Sir Knight!"
One More Mistake.
Not long ago I wns passing along a
dark road just outside the city, and
looking to one side, could Just see the
outline of a buggy. Suddenly, and
with no apparent propelling force, the
vehicle moved rapidly around the cor
ner and disappeared Into the dark
ness. Fearing that the possible occupant
of ?e buggy might figure In a run
away, and w ishing to prevent an ncci
dent. I called very loudly four or five
times "Whoa!" at the top of my lungs.
The carriage stoppcl slowly, and n
hoarse voice replied. "Shut up, you
fool: can't I run my bimsy Into my

kkmmS,
BLUE IS WOMEN'S FAVORITE.
Care Mors for It Than Any Other
Color.
"Colors in dress often reveal the
h.-art secrets of women, though they
know it ti.it," remarks a v.otitsn wrii
er. "Men wmld unconsciously do the
same thing, if custom permitted them
to wear colors as It does women, but
if they are barred out in a general
way, specifically their neckties Tre
quently tell things about them. Yl
low Is the color or light ehVerfulnoss.
and the girl who is fond of wearing
f is usually of a light, cheery nature.
Pink Is the color of hoe. and it is
really renuokalile to see how tin e
gaged girl, deeply enamored of Uir
fiance w ill, without knowing jut why,
take to wear lit; pink ribbons and be
gin to speak of gowns either wholly
or partly pink as 'such loves of thingo'
thnt she wished f.te owned.
"ltl:. Is the color of the Rood ar.S
true, and I am glad to know that most
women ate fond of it, and usually
have at least one blue gown in titeir
wardrobe. The average person has
never noticed M, but the woman with
out honesty in her nature cares little
for bl.ie. if there is a fad fi.r tho
color, she will wear it under protest,
hut the woman who is good and true
loves ii, and "..ufesses openly to it.
Kven if she doesn't do this the un
conscious affinity of her nature for
thai coh r oioresses iiself in the
touch of blue , he will give her cos
tumes, or in t'.ie blue ribbons with
which she will udorn her lingerie. Did
you ever hear of a bride's trousseau
having red ril-.'.ons among it adorn
ments? i la usually found that blue
and pink predominate, nay, thy are
generally the exclusive ornaments of
the lingerie especially."
Won His Gift Back.
The fact that cats always instinct
ively find their way home is rathgr
ramarkably illustrated by a sfory t'oTd
by a young man who lives in German
town, says the Philadelphia Record.
He is an expert in the art of pyrogra
hy. and about a year ago he present
ed a girl of his acquaintance with a
burnt-wood box, which seemed lo be
highly appreciated as a specimen of
his own handiwork. One evening last
week the young pyrogntpher attended
c (iichre where the ladies had present
ed the prizes for the contest. The
young gallant, taking a hand, won the
identical box he had presented to the
young lady. On recognising his own
handiwork, and b: ing somewhat of a
wag. he look the box home, and on the
under side burned a grotesque figure
of a cat. with the inscription over the
head. "The cat came back." and at tho
feet. "You can't lose me." Willi tills
addition to the nlrendy much on:a
minted box was returned lo the girl
who had so kindly donated it to help
make the euchre a success.
He Didn't Want to be Painted.
The director of the Corcoran Gal
lery of Art nl Washington says that
one day while on the way to their
studies three young women pupils of
the Art School maintained in connec
tion wiili the institution named chanc
ed upon an especially picturesque old
dniky. One of the young women, who
had immediately perceived the artistic
V;:iue of the old colored man, stopped
him anil nsked :
"Would you like to make a little
money?''
"Yes. indeedy, mis!" eagerly ex
claimed the old fellow. "Whatcher
want me to do?
"Just come with us. We'd like to
paint, you."
The aged negr,, hesitated a moment.
"Oh." said the young woman who
had accosted him. "it's very easy, and
it. won't take long."
"I wasn't thlnkin' 'bout flat, missy,"
finally replied ihe old 'darkey, "I was
jest wonilerirT how 1 gunner git de
paint olT!"
Her Aim,
Mrs. Frailington was downcast and
trembling now. nntl it seemed hardly
possible to realize that only a few
hours before she had. singledinudetl,
fat ed, a couple of desperate burglars
and vanquished them. Such, however,
was the case, anil a detective was
questioning her ns to the circum
stances. "And I understand that after yon
hail warned the man not to attempt
to break into your house, and ne hnd
disregarded the warning, you, with
out more ado, raised you pistol and
fired?"
"Yes." she answered. '-R was aw
fully wicked of me, but I did."
"What became of the man you
shot?"
"The other burglar carried him
away."
"Which other burglar?"
"Why, the one I aimed at," she said
simply.

Brown Still Favored.
Ilrown is. without doubt, to be
greatly in faun- as the season ad
ances. It hts held its own pretty
well all through the winter, it shows
up several of the novelties, such as
the 'h.-avy ni.icrame lace. A hrown
velvet or brown beaver hat. I rimmed
with feathers, of the lint of the os
trirh. is difficult to beat.
For present wear, brown chiffon
velvet is much In evidence. It makes
beautiful blouses, all elaborately
trimmed with lace and applique, some
what Ce'tle In their design. A ldg
button, ns large as a siher dollar,
finds a place on the front of many
bodices, and if there Is a touch of
gold, red and green enamel, blown
goes with It extremely well.
Rut for indoor wear brown cloth
gowns, with elaborate white blouses,
are being worn. Hrown chiffon frill
lugs, which accord so well with fur,
and are generally bordered with tluy

from muffs and from the open sleeves

The Dainty Woman's Corset.
The dainty woman realizes that her
corset is the most Important article of
her apparel, and when she removes
her good one. she airs it, then lays it
away In a scented silk or atin corset
ban. which Is often hand embroidered,
with the monogram of the owner.
Some of the newest corsets are in
dainty colors mado entirely of satin
ribbon about one and one-half inches
wide, laced together firmly. The hose
supporters are mado of the same rib
Don, and are hand painted or embroid
ered. Gold corset hooks and stays are de
sirable possessions, If one can afford
them, aa they do not rust and will
last a lifetime, They come In four
teen karat gold, both In hooks for the
front of the corset to keep the skirts
In position, and to give the long-wulst-cd
effect, and also In hooks for the
front.
Aprons Useful and Artistic.
One of the season's Innovations Is
the apron. It is dainty, beruffied and
picturesque, and is to bo worn both
ornamentally and for use. Rut even
the useful ones are so pretty and be
coming as to make every girl feel
Industrious. They come In coarse
linens, hollnnd and crash and are
trimmed with bands of a contrasting
color or braid. Make them with ruf
fles running over the sleeve tops and
a poke shaped belt of twnio soft ma
terial, perhaps percale.
One that Is strlnklng and becoming
to a brunette Is of turkey red. R
