Splash; he was ankle deep in the water oft the ghallow little creek, had seized the cargo. of.a; floating plank, and this, or. rather. these, he dangled before the eyes of his chum and com- rade. : “How did they ever come adrift?” | “There's the mystery. And the ro- mance,” added. Bert, ‘“for whoever wore them is certainly 8 modern Cin- derella. It was of a surety a curious and animating incident. The two friends, taking their outing at the little town of Redfern, had been resting on th: bank of the stream when the strange cargo cawe into view. The pretty slippers rested side by side on the piece of plank, folded and placed carefully beside them a pair of dainty silk hose. It was an outfit worthy of a princess—suggestive, in- decu of some fairy-like Cinderella. Bert Williams placed his remarkable find in the pocket of the light over- coat he wore and took up his walking stick, “Hold on. Where are you going?”’ challenged Evans. “To locate the owner, of course,’ responded Bert. “Think I'll miss a romauce like this?" * ~rt of a royal prince looking for a C derella, eh?” railed Evans, | ‘“Tlake it that way—at any raote, probably a distressed maiden splash- ing in the brook—disloyal plank floats away with her belongings. Gallant knight errant restores the dainty “Barefooted—It's the Cinderclia.” (reasures to win the thanks of a maid with a foot that a queen might envy!” Bert wrote poetry, was something of an artist, eid believed in myths. The glamour of romance fascinated him and he started out expectantly upon an exploring commission. The cality were the hosts. It was when I'ert was introduced to som tlat he m i "—and ¢ 1'. found hi £ bowir : L:iz'e- footed refuzee of the brookside. The face had looked pretty at a distance. 1 the ardent youug D o Near at Lang voted her fairly ravishing There was a flitting shadow across those fair features that Bert noticed at once. Evidently she did not recog- pize him as the alarming challenger of the afternoc . When he asked her to become his partner in the next dance and she declined on the grounds of indisposition, Bert invol untarily glanced down in the direction of her feet. They were out of view,' concealed under the folds of her dress. ; Her eyes followed the dancers long: | Ingly. Sympathetic idealist that be‘ was, Bert read promptly what was going on in the mind of Miss Dolly Wyman. ' “Do you believe in fairy books, Miss Wyman?” he asked, abruptly, and she . regarded him strangely at this un+| usual conversational disclosure. | ! wWhy—I don't know,” she answered n an uncertain tone. i “And fairy godmothers? And Cin derella? Ah!” declared Bert with half jocular effusiveness, “there was & girl worth perpetuating in fiction, don't you think so?” First, with an expression of mysti Acation, then with sudden {llumrina. tion of soul, Miss Wyman regarded Bert. Her face turned scarlet. She, understood the alusion, / “Let me play the fairy godmother,” smiled the audacious young man. *“I know you want to dance. I will at once send you a package which !' Juckily rescued from the river.” | It did his heart good to see the young lady waltzing with his chum half an hour later. Then Bert felt, that he had a right to approprlaml Dolly to himself. i “You have made me very happy,” ‘ghe said, as they rested after many whirling rounds of the barn floor. Then she blushed as Bert involuntar| fly glanced down at the pretty slip-| pers, which instantly darted back, “as: | it they feared the light.” “It was the fault of my little sls- ters,” Dolly tried to explain, her face averted. “I was—well—breaking them fn—" “Meaning the slippers?” “Of course, and the children would wade, and—and—" “My ship came in!” alleged the im-| pertinent Bert. It was all radiant, and merry, and wholesome—the hayrack frolic and, the walk in the soft moonlight, “You know, I must see you safe home—just like the fairy godmother!"” suggested Bert, “As far as the gate, then, only,”/ bargained Dolly, “for you must know there is a real practical grandmother.” “I shall make it the prime object ot my life to seek her good graces,” | vaunted Bert. “And thank you for restoring my lost slippers,” said Dolly, as they| spoke a mutual good-night. °‘If any- body else had found them—" ' “They would have been of little use,” declared Bert—"Cinderellas are rare!” | Dolly ran into the house, blushing at the compliment. i Dolly ran into Bert's arms as he] . came out from an interview with the ! dreadful grandmother, one starlight evening about a week later. “It’s all right!"” declared Bert exult- ! antly. “You are Cinderella and I am the happy prince—just as it was in the fairy story book!" i (Copyright, 1913, by W. G. Chapman.) | plank had come from up stream. He ; WHEN THE STORM THREATENS | lined the verduv:-tangled shore. “There she is!” suddenly he ex- claimed. “Young lady—this way.” A little, graceful miss was coming down the shore path slowly. Its flinty surface seemed to make progress dim~| cult for her. She scauned the stream closely the while. Bert's hail. There was a scream. The affright- ed miss turned like a frightened sprite. There was a sway of skirts, a dart back among the thickest shrub- bery. There was, too, a flash of pearly tinted feet, smooth and handsome as veined marble, and the vision van- ished. Bert gasped out: “Barefooted—it's the Cinderella!” Just one fleeting glimpse Bert had of a face well suited to a form of wil- lowy grace and daintiness. He did not seek to pursue the young lady, fully understanding the modest instinets that had invited her precipitate flight. He came back to the spot where he had left his friend, but Evans had gone on towards the village. He soon overtook him. “Well?” questioned Evans, “I found the fairy Cinderella, but—" and Bert recited his latest adventure. “I must foliow up my investigations tomorrow. As a kunight of romance it is my duty.” “And, to be practical,” added Evans, bluntly, “the girl probably wants her choes and scock “I will see that she gets them, never fear,” declared Rert. ‘Are we going to that crossroads function this eve ning?” “Oh, we mustn't miss that, Besides, we promised our rural friends, you know!"” A hayrack r:de, a supper and a barn dance at Rurisey Crossroads had been tlie talked of social event of the dis trici for a weck pa The two young men were prom at the meeting place at dusk, There was 2 jolly drive for a few miles. With ail its crudeness the event was so full of variety and fun that the two young city men were { soon plunged in the full spirit of the occasion. The residents of the immediate lo- B s i s a— s as's st She looked up at Danger Is Always Present, and All to Be Done Is to Reduce It to a Minimum. No place above ground is completely protected against lightning, and the thunder-storm is always a freakish hitter, oftentimes putting its bolts in the most unexpected and improbable places. There are, however, a few suggestions, the result of practical ex- perience, which may profitably be| borne In mind. Be indoors if possi- ble during a thunderstorm, preferably in a large house rather than a shanty lor cow shed. Positions near doors 'and windows and In drzfts should be avoided. A barn containing cows or horses is probably more dangerous than the open. Out-of-doors, hedges, streams, isolated trees, crowds of peo- ple, wire fences, pole lines carrying wires of any sort, herds of cows, or flocks of sheep, all seem to have a slight attraction for lightning and are ‘ better kept at a distance. Wet clothes, | which have something of a reputation as lightning deflectors, probably offer no protection of any value. So far as treatment of lightning etroke is concerned, there {s nothing better than artificial respiration. The method is not of great importance. Any series of movements tending al. ternately to expand and contract the lungs so as to simulate natural breath. ing will do. But speed in applying them is of the utmost importzm(‘é;, as is also perseverance. The artificial respiration should be commenced im- mediately and continued until cooling of the body shows that death has cer. tainly won. Usually when lightning kills it does so at the first blow. l.f death is not instantaneous, recovery 18 the rule.—Tllustrated Magazine, A Hours Too Long. “When 1 started in life, young man,” rald the retired oil well contractor, *I worked twelve hours a day.” : “Yes,” replied the son, “but in thesa rapld times anyone who took twelve hours to do a day's work fired.” Tk would get: I 00 LOTS—Best location iu city and ; ‘hapter No. 29 Thureday at 7:20 p. { n.
