Helen of Troy
By ROYAL N. GREEN
Fred Erickson was heart-keen to
the fact that he loved the girt. but. as
let. he had raid nothing to her about
tt_ In fact he had never spoken to
her They were not acquainted with
each other
It was what Is railed love at first
tight— that It. as far as Fred was con
cerned The first time be saw her she
was sitting opposite him on a belt line
car going from Albany to Troy, and
his susceptible heart had gone pit-a
pat. Chance thrust them together
often after that, but without an op
portunity to become acquainted.
Erickson, a young lawyer located In
Albany, should have been giving his
whole attention to the theories of a
practice that was yet to come. In
s'ead be dreamed the long office hours
through, and all bis dreams were of
the fair unknown.
This fascinating girl was. In points
of beauty, a maid to marvel at. Her
eyes were dusky wells of midnight
with long, dark lashes that half hid
the depths of them, and the black of
these contrasted strangely with the
white of her satiny skin. All in all.
she was. from her daintily arranged
hair to the tips of her tiny shoes, the
sweetest g:rl creation that had ever
come to the ken of Fred Erickson. He
longed to meet her.
Here romance stepped in.
If Helen Landen—this was her name
—tad ever cast a calculating eye over
the tall, serious faced youth who ap
peared so frequently to'her. she did so
without due knowledge of what fates
had in store.
Kingston's circus, a mighty army of
tents, opened in Albany to play two
dates, afternoon and evening, with all
the pomp and ceremony of that digni
fied institution Erickson attended the
evening performance Spangled per
formers crowded the three rings in
marvelous act after act. An army of
"O. W*ut a Great Bract.
clow-s capered to queer pranks, and.
a* always, tbe cirrus was a pulsating
Caere**—a gaudy, glittering success
After tbe concert. Erickson and a
friewd bound themselves leisurely
strolling through the menagerie tent
A mighty elephant, almost tbe peer of
tbe famous Jumbo In site. Interested
them Its crafty eves weje sparkling
with intelligence Its calm, calculating
aurvey of the curious ones who gath
ered to do It honor, was majestic
regal Its swaying trunk, vitally rest
*•**■ raised itself above them occa
sionally as if delivering a her.icon
A tiakltng cadence of girlish tough
ter from behind the youth again
caused the erratic bean vibrations in
his breast, responsive to only one
maid, and Erickson turned His face
flushed as be gazed at her She was
with an elde-fy person—evidently her
fa'her. Her nearness caused the youth
to fear for kunself. it seemed to him
that he must turn and crush her in
his arms
*hat ■ great beast!" The girl
turned to her father "I wonder if she
is cross*"
The elderly person looked Inquiring
ly toward a keeper who stood at some
litile distance
"Not a: all." answered the attend
ant. “Mildest mannered animal in
captivity, and tbe largest. Bess here
knows morn seme folks, she does."
The girl stepped daintily forward, a
•mile curving her red lips, and the
pert little nose of her s wrinkled in
amusement
”! m going to feed her." she said
Tbe elephant graciously accepted an
absurdly small bon bon. and seemed
to wink a knowing eye at Erickson,
who glared enviously.
“Tbe tiger is out!" A hoarse voice
raised the cry and in an instant the
tent was mob mad Women screamed
and fainted. Children wailed and
men cursed. To add to the pandemo
mum. the gasoline lights flickered des
perately in the wind created by the
panic-stricken crowd—and went out
A Mine scream rose above the noise
and an animal chorus quickly respond
ed Elephants trumpeted. Lions
roared Tbe camels lifted their voice?
In uncanny shrieks, and excitemeni
was the order of the moment
Erickson, stricken dumb, sudden! v
recovered himself and reached oui
band arms for the girl His first
thoughts were of her She must be
rescued at all hazards
Just as his satisfied hands came it
contact with her. a velvety someth inf
brushed curiously across his face, anc
then sadden y dropped to his waist—
thetr waists—and the two were liftee
high In the sir to be placed gently o:
tbe back of the elephant
The girl gave a frightened hal:
i scream, and her little hinds consul
' wveiy clutched the arm of her com
pat km.
“What wht what to lt*“ she gasped
i Erickson thrilled at her touch
"Don't be frightened." he said. “Thi
big etoptrst has picked os up. and
tor some it axon. ptoctii us on hei
i back Just at present 4t is the safest
place in the tent. We are out of the
struggling crowd, and away from the
tiger. Hello! What's happening?"
The elephant was beginning to
move. Slowly, cumbersomely. like the
heavy body that it was. the great
. mass of flesh began to get under way.
and in a moment the two upon the
beast's back found themselves under
the starry sky. Save for a scurrying
■ circus man. here and there, the
stretch of green about the tents was
deserted.
The girl kept tight hold of the
exultant youth, although the broad
back and gentle motion of the now
rapidly moving Bess were not calcu
i late* to precipitate a fall.
"O. I 1 am so frightened." gasped
the damsel Her hands convulsively
j gripped the youth's arm. Erickson was
not tightened. He was hilariously
i happy.
From behind them came hoarse
shouts, and the elephant, hearing,
quickened his pace. Had Erickson
been a solitary rider, he would have
slid to the ground, but now he was
pleasantly impressed with a sense of
guardianship.
i\eep up your nerve, came from
i young attorney. "The elephant Is
running away with us. but he is not
dangerous. We are safe enough. The
keepers and circus men are trying to
j catch us."
Suddenly the beast plunged off the
moon lit road and into a lane, slowing
up and stopping as it came to a tall
free. The sensitive trunk cautiously
rose to investigate the lower branches,
and then, with a despairing squeal, a
long-tailed spider-monkey was brought
from a sheltering clump of leaves, and
passed carefully back and into thq
very hands of Erickson.
The lawyer laughed.
“O. how sweet." ventured the girl,
j ijet fear suddenly gone. "And how do
I you suppose the elephant knew he
I was in this tree?"
"Pm sure I don't know. It seems to
, have been her sole errand for she is
\ now going back."
i Sure enough, the great beast was
j now retracing her footsteps.
In a few minutes she had come to
■ the pack that had been following her.
; With the sang froid of a calculating
{ human, the animal reached a careful
j frunk around and placed her passen
; cers. one at a time, on the ground.
' Then the same impressable organ re
| iieved Erickson of his chattering
charge, and without waiting for her
j escort the elephant ambled on. turn
j ing a quizzical eye to her late riders
as she did so.
It de\ eloped that the tiger was still
a captive. The panic had been started
by some mischief maker, but the rush
ing. scrambling crowd had alarmed
the animals, and the monkey cage had
| been overturned by the crazy exit of
j the masses. The little simian rescued
by the big pachyderm had been an es
pecial pet of the trainer having Bess
j in charge How she knew the monkey
a as hidden in the tree, no one knew.
“Weil." said the girl, flushing as she
: turned to Erickson “1 am sure that I
shall never care to see another cir
' cus."
"I shall always have a friendly feel
irg for them." answered the youth
meaningly, and the flush on the girl's
cheeks deepened to an alarming red
"Inasmuch as It will be useless to
attempt to And your escort. I must In

"You don't hsve to—to Insist," an

Lord Crewe made a very Interesting
little speech the other day at the an
nual meeting of the Atlantic union, a
society which works for the Improve
ment of Anglo American cordiality
and of the relations between English
men and men of other nations general
j ly. He said that one grave cause of
! international misunderstanding was
our "notorious stiffness of demeanor."
1 and he referred to that delightful
drawing by Du Maurier in Punch in
| which the table d’hote of a foreign
j hotel in the slack season was depleted
as populated only by two Englishmen,
; sitting at opposite ends of the table,
glaring speechlessly at each other. All
that be said was true enough. We are
undemonstrative. We are not men
and brothers the whole world round
as we should be. and as we shall be
j when Robert Burns’ millennium comes
at last. If we may be allowed to say
so, we can hardly picture Lord Crewe
{ himself responding with a leap into
j the air and a joyful howl to the “How
do. sonny?" of an Ontario mine mana
ger. He would probably smile charm
ingly. bow most courteously and ex
tend a friendly hand; but the colonist
would take all that for coolness and
the Atlantic union would have to ex
plain.—London Evening Standard.
Practise Hard to Eradicate.
It has been stated frequently during
the last year or two that the prictise
of artificially deforming women’s feet
Is dying out in China. This strange
; method of beautification, differing only
in degree from the practise, not un
known among white women, of wear
ing leather shoes several sizes toe
small for the feet, has been for many
years practically universal among the
: real Chinese w omen. The ruling race
of the country has. it U said, never
practised it. Despite the work of the
anti-foot binding society, says a Eu
ropean traveler now in China, fully 95
J per cent, of the Chinese women still
present mutilated feet. Imperial
edicts have been launched against the
practise, and may eventually drive it
out of use, but as yet little improve
ment is apparent.
Sympathy Appreciated by the Sick.
Sympathy and tact will often prove
a greater benefit to the sick than the
most skilful treatment given in a cold,
indifferent war.

Two two-inch beetles are fighting
Tor their individual lives In a porce

table. One of the beetles has a white
lot on his wing case. The other has
a spot of blue. The Chinese have
wagered their money on white or on
blue, as fancy or appearance of the
contestants may have decided.
The proprietor previous to the com
mencement of the fight exhibits his
two bits of live stock to the frequent
ers. One of them tries out the man
dibles of the favorite, letting him
pinch his finger with them, to Judge
his probable fighting strength. The
dialogue is high pitched, nasal and
noisy, and It looks as though a fight

But they're only making their bets

The proprietor drops the two

The six legs of each contestant slip

Wood Choppers In Iowa Park Make
Unique Discovery—How Did
Liquor Get There?
Council Bluffs. Ia.—President Gra
ham of the park board found that
there were too many trees In Bayliss
park, a breathing spot In the cen
ter of the city, so he concluded to cut
out a number of the maples that
were planted more than fifty years
ago. when Council Bluffs was first
given a place upon the map of Iowa.
One particular tree. In the course of
a new path that was proposed, was
marked for the sacrifice. The chop
pers felled this tree, finding It solid
from circumference to center. Saw
ing the trunk into four foot lengths,
eight feet from the butt, the saw
just missed a long-necked black bot

away the wood and brought forth
lightly corked, a bottle of one-pint
capacity, filled with liquor. It was
sampled by experts, who pronounced
ft whisky of a superior quality.
How the bottle of whisky got intc

Indianapolis. Ind.—The difficulty of

which fixes a fine for wearing a pin

brim of the hat. has been solved by
Mayor Shank and Police Superintend

The police are to be provided with
little stiver plated or steel scales
about two inches long and marked tn
Inches, halves, quarters and eighths,
so that the exact length of the pro

J when an arrest Is made.
The mayor feels that there nay be
difficulty In enforcing the ordinance,
as prominent society people may vio

cers to make any mistakes Where
an officer believes that the ordinance
is being violated he will be required
to take the exact measurement of the
protruding end so that the fact may
be established in court without
doubt.

White Isn't downed by any means,

| HORSE GETS DRUNK ON WINE
Imbibes Better Part of Cask of Wine
and Queer Actions Block Street
Traffic in Chicago.
Chicago.—A horse belonging to Wil
liam Britten, an expressman, was
standing in front of the North Side
Ttirner hall, on Clark street, the other
afternoon. A cask of wine, which was
being unloaded from a truck, fell and
broke open. The fragrant liquid ran
into the gutter and the horse, sniffing
It. bent down and drank. The more
the horse drank the better It liked it
apparently. Anyway It drank a couple
of bucketsful of the wine.
In something like three minutes the
horse began to act strangely. It
reared Its head and pranced like a
charger. There was a fine light of
exaltation in its eye. Then It stepped
unsteadily out Into the middle of the
street and began to neigh.
A big crowd gathered, but no one
dared approach the horse and traffic
' on the street came to a standstill.
Some one turned In a riot call and
the police came. The horse gased at
the police and winked maudlin'y. The
police gated at the horse and the
broken wine cask and winked at the
crowd.
Then one of the officers secured a
lump of sugar. He gave It to the
horse and started down the street. The
horse, still very unsteady on Its pins,
trotted after the policeman In the hope
of getting more sugar. That broke
the blockade.
Britten later said that when he went
into the horse’s stall to see how It
was getting along, it was groaning
deeply and the groans sounded to hint
like "Never again."
1 Hunting Elusive Cow Frog
—
Boys of Gtnmi Val'ey. Now York.
| - Sot Out Thoir Jocklights, for
the Season Is On.
Genesee. N. Y.—At last the music of
the frogs has begun and the hoys are
now getting out their Jaekllghts and
J preparing for business. Thousands of
t frogs live In the big Genesee valley
swamp, sis or seven miles up the val
ley. hut the favorite hunting ground Is
not that locality, but the swamp above
Coo ecus'lake, about an equal distance
: from here.
The reason for this preference Is
that they are easier to capture there;
that the Cones us lake swamp Is not so
difficult of access; also, that It la the
favorite haunt of the big cow frog, so
called because of his voice, which
some liken to the hellowing of a cow,
while others Insist that It resembles
I more closely the sound of a distant
! sawmill In action. The Groveland
swamp, on the other hand, contains
mostly the common variety, known to
naturalists as the grass frog.
tn hunting frogs at Conesns one
must take a boat up the Inlet and
swing along the reeds, and by holding
up a lacklight so daixle the big
hatrachlans that they can be picked
up with the hand. This does not mean
that one can take his time about It,
however. When he proceeds to
gather Mr. Cow Frog In he must have
hls oarsman push the boat up close, so
that he Is within reaching distance of
the prey, and while he holds the light
with one hand, make a fell swoop with
the other. If he does not get his slip
pery friend at the first grab, he may
I as well row along in search of the
next frog, as the sudden movement
seems to bring the frog out of hts
trance. After a person once becomes
expert, though, he seldom misses a
Stab.
The row frog, be It known, has noth
tng in common with the ordinary
green or grass frog, so far as st»e Is
concerned. He often eats several of
the ordinary frogs at a meal, wtthout
giving the matter a second thought. In
color, also, he does not resemble the
ordinary frog, for hts Is dark green, al
most Mack, on top and bright yelhsw
or cream color on hts belly. As to
eating qualities, the big fellow Is de
licious. Novices cut off his bird legs
and eat them, but others cut off Ms
head, remove the entrails, skin him
from his neck to his toes and fry him
in butter. Prepared In that way he
will still weigh half a pound, and were
It-not for the fact that so much of him
"cooks away," It would not take more
than half a dosen to make a mess for
a good-sited family.

BABY'S SCALP CRUSTED
"Our little daughter, when three
months etd. began to break out on the
bead and we had the best dvx-tors to
treat her. but the? did not do her any
good. They said she had ectema. Her
scalp was a solid scale all over. The
burning and itching w as so severe that
she could not rest, day or night. We
had about given up all hopes when we
read of the Outicura Remedies. We at
once got n cake of Outicura Soap, a
box of Outicura Otntmeni and one bot
tle of Outicura Resolvent, and fol
lowed directions carefully. After the
first dose of the Outicura Resolvent,
we used the Outicura Soap freely and
applied the Outicura Ointment Then
she began to improve rapidly and in
two weeks the scale came oft her
head and new hair began to grow la
a very short time she was well. She is
now sixteen years of age and a pS>
ture of health We used the Outl
et) ra Remedies about five weeks, reg
ularly. and then we could not tell she
had Ne# affected hy the disease We
used no other treatments after we
found out what the Outicura Remedies
would do for her. J Fish and Rlla V
