Moving Sidewalk in Paris.
A. well-known engineer , AI. Casalon-
n. Is BO favorably impressed with the
practicability of the moving sidewalk
that he has worked out a plan for
: i rolling platform running from the
Place de la Concorde to the Place de la
Uastile. That part of Paris ROW has
an omnibus lino , but owing to the
crowded condition of the streets the
accommodations are very unsatisfac
tory. The platform itself would con
sist of three parallel parts , running
with speeds of 2 , 4 , 5 and 7 miles an
Lour , respectively. A passenger walk
lug on the third platform could thus
flttain a speed of nine to ten miles.
The promoters are contemplating even
a quadruple platform , making the high
er speed as great us twelve to fourteen
miles an hour.

cured him , Dodd's Kidney Pills.
"I had the rheumatism in my left

the use of two canes , " Mr. Greenhou
says. "I would have to sit or He down
on the ground when I was out trying
to walk and the sweat would run
down my face , with so much pain. I
could not sleep at night for about five
or six weeks.
"I tried different doctors' medicines ,
but they were all no good. Then I sent
for Dodd's Kidney Pills and almost
from the first they brought relief. By
the time I had taken fourteen boxes
of them my rheumatism was all gone
iind I can truly say I feel better than
I have in the last twenty-five years. "

THE RICHES OF LOVE.
Talk about Poverty nothing it seems ;
Rich am I ever , with Love and the dreams !
Who with my wealth In the world can compare
Rich in the glory of Jenny's gold hair !
Beautiful , down streaming hair that I hold
In the hands of me kissing and loving its gold.
Talk about Poverty bright the sun streams
Take the world's riches and give me Love dreams !
Dreams in the dark skies , and dreams in the fair ,
The light the brave splendor of Jenny's gold hair :
Earth hath its millions but nothing like this ;
The beautiful hair whose golden ringlets I kiss !
There is no Poverty ! Give me , dear God ,
Not the gold harvests that color the sod ;
Not the world's breath , over far oceans blown
But the red lips of Jenny , that lean to my own !
And even in death just a joy , like to this :
Her gold hair to shadow me sweet with Love's kiss !

THREE IN A GARDEN
N the gray stone steps that led
from one smooth lawn to another
stood Cynthia. One foot had
sought a lower step , the other lingered
above , and. the clinging gown of white ,
out of which peeped shoulders yet
whiter , outlined the slender figure. The
expression-on the face under the large
hat , bent downward by ribbon tied
daintily beneath the chin , showed rapt
attention to the notes of a violin , pro
ceeding from behind the closely crop
ped hedge.
It was a picture a man might look
upon for all a summer's day , and then
not have his fill. But I , from my seat
beneath the trees , found no pleasure
In it
"Curse the long-haired , fiddling fel
low ! " I muttered , and began to walk
across the lawn to Cynthia. But even
when I stood below her , with my hat
doffed , I might have been a man in
visible for all the notice I gained.
"Good day , Cousin Cynthia , " said I.
The music from behind the hedge
sobbed and wailed yet louder. I my
self could have fancied a tune with
more spirit ; something to stir a man's
blood to fill him with the wild mad
ness of the charge aye , or even a
rousing song to suit the passage of the
flagon. But it was evidently to the
taste of my cousin , for she still stood
listening , and took no notice of my
salutation.
"It is a fair morning , " said I , at
length , thinking she was not aware
of my presence , and seeking to at
tract her notice.
"Your voice is not in harmony with
these sweet strains , cousin. " she re
plied , not favoring me with even so
much ns a look.
"In truth , a crying child would suit
them better , " I retorted.
Cynthia deigned no reply , but drew
aside as I ascended the steps and stood
abreast of her.
'You treat me harshly , cousin , " said
I.
' "I did not bid you come. "
"Will you go up with me ? " I In
quired , pointing to the lawn above us.
"Nay , I am going down. "
"To him , " I added , bitterly. "You
do , indeed , go down. "
Cynthia laughed merrily.
"A witty cousin , " she cried. "But
possessing little courtesy , as. indeed. I
found last night. " ,
"I was angered , and did not pick my
words. "
"Indeed , but you did , cousin ; you
picked the most unpleasant. "
"Perhaps I had occasion. "
"Perhaps ? Or not ? It Is of little
consequence , " exclaimed Cynthia , rais
ing her white shoulders Avith a great
show of indifference. "Good morning ,
cousin. "
She held , out her hand to me , and I
touched it lightly with my lip.s. Then
she ran dowji the steps , and began to
cross the Ia-wn below.
I have heard it said , and by those
who should know , that none moved
with more grace than my cousin Cyn
thia. And I , ns I stoou motionless on
the steps , gazing after her , was sud
denly fiJled with a veiy passion of love
and longing. 1 would go after her
throw myself at her feet , and beg her
to give me back her love , which but a
day since I had thought was mine.
But as my pride and my love fought
within me , Cynthia had reached the
hedge whence en me the music. I fan
cied she half turned her head toward
me ; certainly she paused a moment. I
ran down the steps.
But then she vanished behind the
hedge ; and immediately the music
ceased , I turned away full of anger
and despair , thou . as yet I failed to
realize how that which had happened
were possible , and how my dream of
happiness had been shattered in an
hour. For on the previous evening
there had been dancing in the great
house that stood in the midst of the
garden , and I , as a favored suitor , had
many times claimed the hand of the
Lady Cynthia. It is true it had been
granted me , and my friends had still
no reason tc believe but that I was in
possession of her heart. But I knew
differently , for though her hand was
In mine , her eyes sought continually
the face of a young stripling , a mem
ber of the company of musicians hired
to play while we danced. At first I
mistrusted my eyes , refusing to be
lieve such a thing. Few were more
proud than my cousin , and it seemed
impossible that she , of the highest in
the land , could smile on a mere fiddler
from the court. But a lover's eyes are
quick ; and the truth , hideous though
It were , forced itself upon me. Then ,
foolishly , I spoke bitter words to her ,
and she returned them. I reproached
her , perhaps assuming more than my
position warranted , for there was as
yet no formal bond between us , only ,
as I hoped , a complete understanding
of the future.
We parted in anger , and all the
night I had tossed sleepless. There
was a mystery in it I could not fath
om. No words had passed between
them , and love , if it were love , had
come swiftly , with but a look to kin
dle it. Once I thought it but a whim
to try my love ; but to choose for the
test a man of mean birth , as this musi-
cia'n , that were impossible for my
proud cousin.
For a few minutes I paced the lawn
with head bent and hands clasped be
hind my back. Then the impulse
seized me to follow Cynthia , and play
the spy. That I should see nothing
that would please me I felt assured ,
but I desired to know the worst. So I
walked swiftly to the hedge , and , find
ing uo one behind it , continued my
steps to a belt of trees that formed
part of the great park of which the
house and garden were the heart
In the shadow of the trees stood
Cynthia , and by her side the boy mu
sician , his fiddle lying neglected on the
ground and his hands clasping hers.
Then , as I watched , I saw him kiss
her , and she returned the kiss.
I have ever been counted a man of
cool brain and quiet temper , but here
was a matter far different to a whis
tling bullet or the thunder of charging
horses. There Hashed into my mind a
wild impulse to kill this stripling Avho
stood between me and 1113- heart's de
sire. That the deed was unlikely to
further my wooing was an argument
that did not enter into my hot head.
It was her name 1 cried as I ran to
ward them.
"Cynthia ! "
The musician drew back , but Cyn-
thia faced me calmly.
"Why , cousin , what is this ? A
sword drawn before a lady ? Has the
sun addled your brain ? "
"I pray you to leave us. " I said to
her , the words coming thickly.
"Your presence is not of my seek
ing , " she replied , "and unless Master
llerrick also wishes to be rid of
"
me
"Nay , nay , " stammered the youth.
1 turned to him sharply.
"I have a matter to discuss with
you , " said I.
He would not meet my gaze , but
kept his eyes on the ground.
"Put up your sword , then , " quoth
Cynthia. "Such arguments are poor
logic. "
My head was cooling , and I thrust
the weapon back into its sheath.
"The gentleman is evidently more-
used to the bow than to the sword , " I
said , scornfully , pointing to the violin
Ij-ing on the ground. Then I turned
on my heel and left them.
The flowers were bright in the sum
mer sunshine and I strode about the
garden. All things spoke of beauty
and happiness , and the joy of living.
But in my mind Avas the picture of my
love in the arms of another and re
turning kiss for kiss.
Yet the chosen lover of the Lady |
Cynthia , a boy , a fiddler and a cow
ard. My thoughts found utterance in
scornful words.
"Tut ! These Avomeu are mad creat
ures , and it is foolish to have aught to
do with them. There is plenty of
work for a man and a sword to do
in the world , and brave companions
Avith Avhom to live. The tiddlers for
the women. The men for 4the light
and the wine cup. That is life for
' '
me !
"Cousin Richard ! "
The words came softly and SAvcetly
to iny ears. I turned sharply and
found Cynthia standing behind me.
Her hands were clasped before her ,
and her head bent a picture of bash
ful humility , a little , I thought , too per
fect to be true.
"Well ? " I inquired shortly , being
not yet recovered from my anger and
scorn of womankind.
"I have thought from your manner
or , indeed , cousin , from your Avant of
manner that you are not pleased Avth
me. "
That left me Avithout a word. For
none but a blind man could have been
displeased with her as she stood there
before me in the sunlight.
"It is a sad matter when cousins
quarrel. " she continued.
"You kissed the folloAV. " said I ,
speaking harshly , to hide the softness
of my heart.
Her humility vanished at ray Avords.
"Why not ? " she cried. "What right
have you to spy on me ? I will kiss
X '
whom I like so you need have no fear
for yourself. Cousin Richard. "
Now , I had determined to have no
repetition of the quarrel of the previ-
ous night So I ansAvered quietly ,
seeking to knoAv the truth , and to abide
the result as a man should.
"I ask your pardon for my hasty
Avords , " I said. "But a few weeks ago
you made me believe that my suit Avas
not distasteful. Now , in a moment ,
you cast me off for another. Have I
no excuse for sorroAV and anger ? "
"Perhaps , Dick , " she said softly.
Then I Avas conquered. I threw my
self at her feet , crying that I loved her
and AA-ould die for her , and all the
SAveet mad speeches that lovers make.
But she stood quietly , and AA'hen I
found no more Avords ( they Avere ever
Avont to fail me ) she looked down at
me and said smiling :
"The sun is Avarni , and I fear "
I sprang to my feet , for a moment
hating Avhere I had loved. But before
I could speak Cynthia held out her
hands to me , crying :
"Nay , you misunderstand me. I did
but suggest that under the great oak
tree Ave might converse with more
comfort , and" ( here she smiled at me )
"with less chance of being overlooked. "
Again my anger left me at her
words , and we crossed the laAvn into
the cool shade of the trees. One of
them , a mighty oak , had its trunk cir
cled by a Avooden seat It was not the
first time we had A'isited it
"Are you still very angry with me ,
Dick ? " asked Cynthia , wLe : ? we were
seated.
"IIoAV can I be pleased ? " I returned
mournfully.
"Then AVO must sit apart , not being
friends , " she said , and glided round
the seat so that her back Avas toward
me and the trunk of the tree betAveen
us.
So we sat in silence , while I ponder
ed on the riddle that was so hard to
read. AVhy had she come to me , a
discarded and angry lover , Avith the
kisses of another and more favored
suitor fresh on her lips ? And greater
wonder still , why did she stay Avith
me , and speak to me in this manner ?
Either her heart was hard , and taking
pleasure in my pain , or else there Avas
some mystery in the matter. Yet I
could but believe my eyes , and they
had seen her kiss him.
Presently , as no sound came from
the other side of the tree , I moved
slightly , and bent my body so that I
could see the graceful curve of her
Avhite neck , and a rosebud nestling in
her dark hair. Then suddenly she
turned her head and met my gaze.
"Why do you look at me , Cousin
Richard , if you are so angry Avith
me ? But perhaps there is hate in your
eyes. Is there hate in your eyes ,
Cousin Richard ? "
For ansAver I moved toAvard her , but
she held out her bauds as if to push
me away.
"Nay , nay , " she cried , "it is not
safe to have an angry man AA'ho hates
me too near. "
"You know that I do not hate you , "
I ansAvered.
"I would see for myself. Look at me
again. Dick. "
Obediently I turned my head , and ,
she doing likewise for a moment. AA-O
azed into each other's eyes. Then
she turned from me again , and said
gravely shaking her head : i
"Nay , I think I need have no fear.
You may come round a little just a
little more Dick. "
And then I had the advantage , for j '
my arm slipped round her Avaist so ]
that she could not run aAvny. and Avith [
the air of a master ( as. indeed , a man ,
is Avhen he holds his love in his arms ) i
demanded that she should tell me the , (
ansAver to the riddle.
"There was once , " she began , as if
she told some tale of the fairies , "a
1
poor girl who worked for her bread.
She was foster sister to one who could
have given her all she needed , but in
her pride she Avould have none of it.
Her only talent was in music , so she
joined a company of musicians , and
because none but men might play Avith t t
them in public places , she donned '
man's attire. But it led her into sad
trouble , for one day a gallant gentlei i !
man would have slain her because she
met her sister secretly , that their
friendship might not lead to the dis
covery of her disguise , and because
that sister kissed her. "
"But why did you not tell me this
before ? " I cried , amazed at the story.
"Your words were hard last night ,
deserving punishment , and I thought
Cynthia paused and looked up at
me roguishly.
"Yes ? " I inquired , pressing her
closer to my side.
"I thought that if I Avere to have
you for a husband , I had best train
you to be a good one. " Harold Ohl-

On March 4th a President in the
White House will go to the capitol for
his first inauguration something that
has never yet happened. Occupants of
the White House have gone to the cap
itol for their second inaugurations ; this
has naturally been the case with every
tAVO-term President since Washington
became the seat of government But
no man already in that office has ever
gone through the ceremonial for the
first time. This peculiar situation arises
from the fact that no one of the other
Vice Presidents who has succeeded to
the Presidency Tyler , Fillmore , John
son or Arthur was elected for a sec
ond term. When McKinley follOAved
Cleveland in 1897 , the incoming and the
outgoing Presidents were , according
to custom , almost inseparable compan
ions on the inaugural journey. Four
years ago , when Mr. McKinley was for
a second time inaugurated , there AAas
no outgoing President to ride through
the avenu ° with him. This year there
Avill be none. It has never before hap
pened twice in succession that there
was no retiring President to accom
pany the President-elect. The second
Inauguration of a President already in
office hab ajways seemed somewhat
anomalous , sincethe ceremonial signi
fies no real change of administration
or of policy. This Avill explain why ,
in spite of all efforts , second inaugu
rals seldom excite the interest or at
tract the crowds , of an original induc
tion into office. This time , however ,
as Mr. Roosevelt has not before been
honored in this way , the celebration
promises to be unusually brilliant
