On fed cattle which he select such he needed in He elected to walk and rip a holiday reaching the hills halted by a woman's voice, hidden from him by a blackberry and oak thicket, but her words to the effect that if somebody but a step nearer she would throw herself into the lake to drown. Of a necessity, if she should do that, _‘\hx\ being not a poltroon, but a hero, | must go after her; and he could not | swim! With disma! groanings he laid (down his hat and undid his necktie. The splash came! He lunged through the thicket, scratching his face and hands; then, breathing hard, he went down into the water ! As he drowned, conventionally, he ' should have reviewed his past in every detafl, but he did not; at least the face of his comfortable, plump Pauline or | those of his twin sons, should have passed before his mind's eyeball; but they did not. He saw, only, how a | 8pot of rust looked in the bottom of their Kkitchen dipper. Then he re- membered nothing, for he was drowned hills vould his bu made Before from as ness he was She was poison were came a tent, and beside him sat a beautiful lady in a wet bathing suit. Max re- membered that he had gone to her de- liverance “So 1 rescued you, madame?” murmured, weakly but politely The lady looked at him curiously, then smiled. “If you had hung on to me a little closer when I was getting you to shore, I surely should have drowned; you didn't hang on a little ' closer, so—you rescued me. Many thanks.” But before the mocking words were finished, Max slept. Awaking, he found the lady still bg him, but instead of wet bathing suit, were short crim- | son skirt and bodice with many, lu.my§ spangles. A crimson silken kerchief | bound her shapely head. A man can- | not be a moving picture habitue und; not know a gipsy when he sees one. Max knew her at once.

By and by the queen waved them away. One man secmed minded to| rebel--but he went. Then Max and the beautiful one talked. Not of MH' « | Pauline nor of his twin sons talked | Max; only of his wonderful adven-| tures! The queen listened well. How lustrous were her eyes and how sweet her volce! At twilight she went away. | Happy Max! For two days he would | stay with the gipsies and play hero; | then, in the silence of the night, he would steal away, and they, thinking that the wander-lust had selzed him, would never know that he went back to his cursed butcher shop as galley slave to his oars!
