And it hasn’t come.” “Oh, I'm so sorry!” “And to be frank,” admitted the man, “I was going to ask your father to lend me enough to get back to New York.” The vision of the new slippers danced before Marcia's eyes. Follow- ing them two rather worn black slip- pers hurried along. “Would you let me?” suggested Marcla impulsively. “I haven’t much cash about—but if five dollars would help—" A few minutes later Mr. Brown of New York left Judge Newbury's house with Marela's five dollars, promising to send it back the minute he reached New York. A few min- utes afterward Marcla started down- town to buy a package of shoe polish and ribbon encugh for new bows on the old slippers. On her way home she met Mrs. Benson Jenks. “Marcia,” said Mrs. Jenks, “I had the funniest experience this morning. You know Benson's away from Lome. A man—a Mr. Brown of New York— an cld friend of Benson, he said— came to his house and I lent him five dollers. He was just strapped and hadn't enough to buy a ticket home. But, you Kknow, Marcia, I think he was a cheat. I don't know why, but—" Marcia gasped. “Mr. New York—five dollars? Why, the fraud came to our house, and I did the same thing!” When Marcia got home she found a young man pacing back and forth. He stopped as she came up the steps. “Miss Newbury?” he queried. “I'm Mr. Shipley—Peter Shipler—of Bos- ton, and an old friend of Judge New- bury’s,” he explained. Marcia eyed him icily. you?” she questioned, against the door. “The maid says the judge is away,” said the man nervously. “Well,” said Marcia, looking at him out of steely eves. “Well,” with difficulty, “vou see, I'm in a hole.

I haven’t any money—and I was going® 0 ask the judge—" Marcia laughed cynicaiiy. were you?” she said. “Oh, are her back “Reaily “I'm Mr. Brown, of New York.i said | Brown—of | “Peter Shipley? I should say sO. !One of the finest young men in the world. Proutz—the Doston lawyer— hos just taken him in as junior part- ner. What about Shipley, daughter?” It was a somewhat crestfallen Marcia that appeared at Mrs. Benson Jenk's dance that eveningy She had forezone a ‘pair of mew slippers; she had been foolish enough to let a cheat impose on her; and, worst of all, she had failed in hospitality and cour tesy. “Although,” she consoled herself, | “I really didn't have any money left for the second borrower.” “Oh, Marcia,” exclaimed Mrs. Jenks when Marcia went into the drawing. room; “I've such a delightful surprise for you. Just before dinner—I had to rush downtown agatn for something I'd forgotten—I met an old friend of mine from Boston, Peter Shipley, wandering up and down in front of the post office. He sald he was ex- pecting an important letter thad hadn't come yet. And, as he hadn't planned which hotel to go to, I per suaded him to come her2. You see, he's an old friend of your father and he is crazy, for some reason, to meet you. He's awtully nice, Marcia. Do be good to him.” Mrs. Jenks continued oblivious to Marcia’s gasp of surprise and flush of embarrassment; and just then Peter of-date evening suit borrowed from his host, and with a mischievous twinkle in his eye, came up, was ine troduced to Marcia, and claimed her for the first dance. . “It's the least you can do,” he laughed as he led her away. “I'l do anything you want me to do, really, Mr. Shipley, to convince you that I am penitent.” A few months later,” when Peter Shipley paid one of several visits to Judge Newbury's home, he reminded Marcla of her words at Mrs. Jenks' dance. “I'll never be convinced that you are really penitent for the way you treated me on that first day, Marcia, less you will stand by your word and do anything I want you to do. I want you to marry me, Marcia.” And Marcia stood by her word, The Pope’s Triple Crown. The tiara, or triple crown of the Pope, was originally a plain high cap, much like those in which the Doges of Venice are so often represented in old pictures and medals. It was first tntroduced by Pope Nicholas I. in 860, It is doubtful when the first coronet was added, but the second was placed by Pope Boniface VIIL in 1295 and the third by Pope Urban V. about 1368, It has been held that the three crowns refer to the Holy Trinity, though that evidently could not have been the original idea or they would not have been added one after the other, with an intervening interval in each case of many years. Others affirm that they denote the threefold rovalty of the Bishop of | Rome, one being the symbol of the temporal power over the Roman | gtates; another, the spiritual exer- | cised over the souls of men; and the third the authority over all the kings and potentates of Christendom. Muffled Knocks. “Rivers, you've been doing some good work in your departntent of the paper—lately.” “Sure, Mrs. Flickinger, we'll be glad to come out and spend a day with you some time. I know we'll enjoy the ride there and back, anyway.” “How much you resemble your ex cellent father, Hossulkus! Your nose is a trifle one sided, and your legs are curved, just as his were.” “Barber, your wife must be a splen- did cook; I can tell that you have been eating some mighty fine onions.” “We are willing to accept this juror, your honov. He seems to know noth- ing—about this case.” Misrepresentation. “You've spoiled the sale of my new novel!” “What's the matter?” “You reviewed it under the heading | *‘Recent Books,’ and the printer made it read ‘Decent Books” instead.— Judge. g So 1 telegraphed |.‘. “Father,” said Marcia that even-|: A 3 5 a5 v o0 2 3 o el e L e Timber, Tarpentine, (- Lands, Choice (), FOR SAL : Tracts at Low Prices, Florida Homes and Groves o | Rolling Land, Situated on Beautiful Lakes, Paying \ beary and Trucking Farms, - We guarantee all property as represented by us, Ior reliable information see ' Ohlinger & Affield \ » Opposite New Depot, LAKELAND, FLOR[D: B T T e O tx Tx w te O L e TR L D e e e g L.
