A Cure For
Loneliness
BY W R ROSE
Tho air wos mild and clear The
children frolicked merrily among the
trees In tho park The white capped
nurses sat on the rustic scats here and
there and watched their charges or
played with the smaller children who
nestled In wicker carriages with gay
colored canopies
On one of tho benches not far from
the entrance sat an elderly man He
was straight and square shouldered
with a white mustache and grizzled
hair and a strong suggestion of early
military training He sat there be
cause he liked to sec the children at
play They were better company than
his thoughts Anyway he had little
else to do
On this particular day he had watch
ed the playful elves as they darted In
and out among tho trees until he had
grown tired The warm sun made him
sleepy Ills gray head slowly dropped
back his shoulders found a restful
corner of the high backed seat and
presently he was soundly sleeping
A slight concussion awakened him
He opened his eyes with a little start
The sun was peeping through the
foliage and the rays dazzled him He
tried to raise a hand to draw his soft
hat over his eyes and could not Both
hands were pinioned fast He looked
down A rope was encircling his body
and holding his arms fast to his sides
He made an effort to release himself
but without success He fancied he
could sympathize with the feelings of
Gulliver when he fouud the pygmies
had caught and bound him He was
sure It was one of the playful fairies
whom he had watched so many times
among the trees He was right A
childs laughter broke on his ears His
captor was close behind him
Aha he said In what was Intended
for a very gruff voice are you there
Unhand me at once or tremble for the
consequences
The cord it was a childs skipping
rope was rapidly drawn from about
his waist and a moment later Its own
er danced in front of him
She was a little girl of possibly 7
though at times her varying expres
sions made her seem much older Her
hair floated about her head In careless
waves and tendrils her eyes were gray
and deep her mouth was small and
beautifully shaped and there was a
saucy upward tilt to her short nose
Pooh pooh she said with a mock
ing courtesy I aint a bit afraid of
youl
And why not the old man asked
She was a charming fairy a natural
little coquette and her every move
was full of a subtle grace And why
ore you not afraid of such a gray old
mustache as I am he asked again as
she pirouetted before him
Because you are my grandfather
ehe carelessly answered
The old mans face darkened
What do you mean by that non
sense he harshly asked
Taint nonsense said tho little
maiden unless grandfathers Is non
sense Anyway youre my grandfa
ther And she started to leave him
Walt he cried Come here What
did you mean by saying I am your
grandfather Do ypu call every old
man you see grandfather
No said the child Only you
He studied her face sharply
Comn a little closer he said In
coaxing tones She marched boldly up
to him Her little hand flew up and
touched the front of her cap
Thats the way to Ealute a soldier
ehe said with a merry laugh Mamma
said you was one
He caught his breath
Perhaps he slowly said yon can
even tell me my name
Yes I can replied the child Its
easy Your name Is Philip An now
guess what mine Is
Is Is It Mary he gently asked
No laushed the child Thats
mammas Mine 1b most like yours
Its rhillppa
The old man was silent for a mo
ment
Is your mother here child be sud
denly asked Is she lurking about
among the treeB
Who Do you mean mamma
cried the child She Isnt here She
haBnt no time for trees Shes always
too busy Didnt you know she paints

Mlnlcboors she calls them Theyre
pictures of people dont you know
only much prettier But sometimes
people dont pay very quick an some
times they think mamma chargcR too
much uti sometimes Rhc doesnt have
nny pictures to do Then you know
Its pretty hard to have the landlord
call I guess you know how that Is
And where Is your father and tho
old mans voice suddenly grew hard

child Ho was an actor you know n

know what 1 can do Hut 1 sposo Its
no use Delia wild that as a child won
dor I was tho wust she ever seen an
Delia goes out n good deal
A faint smile crossed tho old mans
Btcm features
And what made you think that I ntn

Oh Mario Kramer told me replied
the child She knows everybody

In An when I looked at you again 1
Baw you didnt look like a tramp an so
I thought Id take my chnnces an rope

And your mother knows nothing
about my being here the old man
asked

I told her an she looked so queer an
her face got red an she said Phlllppa

But anyway you mustnt speak to him
unless he speaks to you first An I
made you speak to me first didnt I
The old man lenued back and looked
at tho child
Phlllppa ho said slowly how
would you like to come and live with
me You would have your own beau
tiful room and all the playthings you
could waut and somebody to wait on
you and a pony to drive and every
thing that could make a little girl
happy
An would mamma come too the
child asked
The old man shook his head
Id like the room said tho child
an tho pony an all the rest but I
guess Id be too lonesome without
mamma
But youd have me urged the old
man

gether said the child Then she add
ed If you knew mamma youd see
how it is
Perhnps I am beginning to see

The old man smiled at her enthusi
asm Evidently this was a delightfully
original child
Do you think your mamma would
paint my portrait he asked
Shed be real pleased to said the
child An Id get the commission too

orders Id get the commission Youre

arose Come we will go and seek your

mammas memory quite outgrows the
reminiscences of her childhood Come
Phlllppa
And hand In band they passed down
the graveled walk and through the big
gates and presently found themselves
in front of the huge apartment bouse
that tho lonesome Phlllppa called

Admiralty Weak on Ornirratphr
During the Boer war of 1880 the ad
miralty was hopelessly Ignorant of the
geography of South Africa
The admiral In charge of the licet at
Cape Town received strict orders thnt
he was not on any accouut to botnbnrd
the town of PotchefHtroom Now nH
Potchefstrootn is a good many hun
dred miles from the seacoaBt and lies
on the Mool river which Ib barely 200
yards acrosB and dry for three parte
of the year this order was superflu
ous
During tho same period the fleet was
at Port Elizabeth and the admiral
headed dispatches to the admiralty
from that seaport By the next mall
he again sent dispatches but happened
to head them Algoa bay
The admiralty cabled out asking him
what business he had to change the
location of the fleet without Instruc
tions sublimely Ignorant of the fact
that Port Elizabeth and Algoa bay nn
one and the same place
By the way the names Algoa bay
and Delngoa bay are derived from the
outward and homeward voyages of the
old East Indlameu who on tlielr voy
ages to Goa in India were wont to
call at Port Elizabeth on the outward
voyage and at Lourcnco Marques on
the homeward voyage Hence the
names Algoa to Goa and Delngoa
from Goa Stray Stories

European ladles constantly run away
witli the Idea that Constantinople is a
civilized town and act accordingly
Then they are astonished when some
thing disagreeable happens and con
tinually one hears of ladles being hus
tled pinched or kissed by Turkish sol
diers It must be remembered that the
soldiers are recruited from the wildest
tribes In Asia Minor where woman Is
considered an Inferior creature who
must give way to man besides being
trained to avoid him on all possible oc
carlons
One can easily Imagine that such a
soldier Is astonished to see a European
lady unveiled boldly expecting him to
give way to her or at nny rate not
avoiding him and ho naturally takes It
to be an advance on her part Ladles
have often told mo they hnvo been
pushed by soldiers Into the gutter and
I hnve nenrly always found that It Is
simply as I have explained thnt nei
ther makes way for the other with the
result that the lady being the weaker

on limit d 1 knew that those gates bad
been closed for I had seen the deck
hand shut them tight Thoroughly and
comprehensively did I search the boat
but not a man In a light overcoat was

anxious to bring Tennyson and Mr
Lowell together Tennyson who wns
whimsical In IiIh prejudices made va
rious excuses nnd affected to believe
that Mr Lowell was a poet of little Im
portance and an after dinner orator
whose graces of style were overrated
One day Mrs Procter told Mr Ten

some lines on her birthday and that
she must Insist upon reading them to
him
The English poet looked nt her as
kance and submitted with bad grace
Mrfl Procter did not go further than
tho opening line I know a girl they
say shes eighty
Tennyson scowled and sprang to his
feet with a gesture of Impatience
Too familiar he growled out In high
disdain and refused to listen to the re
malnlug Hues
Mrs Procter persevered In her efforts
to bring the two pacts together and
they finally mot and became Intimate

many caprices and had a touch of shy
