Flor ence. That they could thus suddenly pick up = palace, that they could af- ford to bire a palace, is hot so startling as might at first appear, Time 'was 'when all fine houses In Europe were called palates. Nevertheless the palace occupied by the Loutons had dur. ing the middie ages the abode of one of those princes among whom Italy was then divided. It stands on one of | the many vias, or streets, of Florence, | not far from the cathedral called the | Duomo. In Florence are various' col lections of mediaeval weapons, and on the ground floor of the Palazzio V. | occupied by the Loutons is a room full | of blunderbusses, swords, crossbows, pikes, shields, battleaxes and parts of armor, The Loutons being wealthy and ! Jeunnette Louton being but twenty yeirs old and pretty, there sprang up | at once among certain Italian gentle- men with a great deal of rapk and a correspoudingly small amount of money a spirited contest for her hand. | Among these were Princes Viscontl and Strozzi, whose families bad strug. | gled with each other several centuries ago. Viscont! was forty, tall, thin, bald and wore glasses, being very nearsighted. Strozzi was thirty-two, short, fat, high shouldered and wore his hair pompadour and his mustaches turned up'at their wazed points a la Mephistopheles. The two princes vied with each oth- er in recounting to ber the glorious deeds of their respective ancestors. | True, they made no mention of the va- rious instances in which they had re- sorted to hired assassination. But what they falled to give Jeannette read fu history and learned of the cow- ardly as well as brave deeds of thaso | warlike people. Gradually sbe came "gAN YOU BLAME ME FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO ono0SEY times, She wished she might hear the bell clang in the campanlle, calling the citizens of Florence into the Piazza Senora for one of those free fights that In bygone days had strewn the pavement with corpses. If she saw a crowd gathered about a fallen horse her fancy pictured a Viscontl and a Strozzi had met and fought. Months passed without either of the two suitors gaining any advantage over the other. Meanwhile each had ninde inguiries through his bankers of the financial standing in America of John Louton, and the report came ~ When the meaning of this to call ak 8 o'clock in. the afternoon' of a certin day. At the appointed hour Viscont! appeared; and Strogxd was admitted a few minutes later. They were received in the cabinet of arms. Each started as he saw the | other, glared and awaited develop ments. ! "Your = highness," sald . Jeannette, | "you have both done me the honor to | propose for my band. From both 1] have listened to accounts of the prow- ess of your ancestors. You baye trans- | ported me to those romantic times and kept me there till I almost feel that | I am a part of them. As I under) | stand it, the families you represent took an equally lnportant part in Itak ian history. You are both fine repre- sentatives of a splendid race. Few | women have been honored by a choice | between two such offers. Can you | blame me for not belrig able to choose | between the two? I must ask you to | decide which shall defer to the other. I will leave you in this room and ask | you, when you have decided, to let me | know." | She went out of tha cabinet and shut the door. Vor a few minutes there were low voices, gradoally rising till they rang out in trumpet tones. Meanwhile Ned Backett,'a young St. Louisan, who had been courting Jean- | nette Louton for several years, fearing | that among the princes and dukes | nbroad she might slip away from bim, had decided to follow her, arriving in Florence on the very day the young | lady bad suggested to the two princes to settle between themselves which | | should give way to the other, The same afternoon be sauntered up to the Palazzio V. He was admitted | to a surprise. The door to the cabinet | of arms was open, and two men were | | fighting with swords as long as the | antagonists themselves, while Jean- | pose was making Cage sR iy gs maz Si each had caught up & weapon. Prince Visconty, having been hurt in the bead, | seized a helmet and put it on. Prince Strozzl, seeing a plece of armor of the | | thirteenth century, in order to get | even with his enemy caught it up and | got it partly on his thorax. Viscontl | picked up a shield used in the cru- sades, Strozzl defending himself with an andiron 700 years old, but as Sack- | ett entered he dropped It and replaced it with an immense iron punch bowl tbat bad belonged to a Viscontl. To add to the terror of the scewe, Viscont{'s face was bloody and Strozzi limped from a wound in the leg. Vis | | cont! holding the-longer sword, his en- | | emy dropped his own and grabbed a | pike. This gave him such an advan- | tage that it enabled him to drive Lis | enemy into a corner. But near Vis- | conti in a rack was a gun with a bi¥rrel | nearly as long as the pike. Seizing it and deriving an advantage owing to his own superior length, he began to poke his adversary with it on sowe- thing lke equal terms. In this way the cornered man gradually forced his adversary to the middle of the room. These chenges in the situation re- quired but very fitle time. It required | more time by far for Sackett to re- | | cover from his astonishment at this | medigeval struggle in the opening of | | the twentieth century. He didn't know | whether to be the more amused or astoulshed. 'The scene may have been absurd, but there was no time for laughter. Jeannette gave Sackett aa imploring look. Seizing a battleax, he ran up to the combatants and began to beat down. their weapons. He was « not so furious as 'they, and this ab- sence of anger gave him a decided ad- vantage, Finally he secured a position between the two. "Gentlemen," he said, "what means this unseemly row in tbe home of a 1 id its Presence on the Hudson Bay Cents pany's Boat Explained. x It is or was a rule of the Hudson Bay company that po woman be als | lowed passage on its boats. One day some years ago as a steamer of the company neared one of the nortbernmy most ports a string of white garments was seen stretched across the decks The watchers were amazed, for te them the wash line suggested only thu presence of a woman aboard the boats Comment was freely made of the scandal that would ensue and the shakeup that would follow. When thd boat docked the line of washing had disappeared--still another proof of tha scandal. Later one of the landsmen said tof the captain: $ "Why, bow did it happen that you carried a woman passenger this trip? "There was never a woman the whole voyage." was the Indignané answer. "What do you mean? "If there was no woman aboard where did all that white wash coma from?' was the triumphant reply. The captain looked puzzied for & moment, and then he laughed. $ "Oh," he said, "and didn't we bave Lord Strathcona, the governor himself, along with us on this trip? And every day doesn't he insist on having his clean white shirt, no matter how far north we are? That's the white wash you saw strung along deck. And, what's more, doesn't his lordship io- sist upon having his London: papes sid beside his plate every morning, no matter if it is a year old?" --Pearson'ss dns it Must Have Relieved Him to Get This Out of His System. A water consumer in a certain city, whose supply had been turned off be- cause he 'wouldn't pay, wrote to the department as follows: "In the matter of shutting of the water on unpald bills your company is fast becoming a regular crystallized Russian bureaucracy, running in groove and deaf to the appeals of res form. There is no use of your trying to impugn the verity of this indicts went by shaking your official beads hi the teeth of your own deeds. »If you will persist in this kind of thing a widespread conflagration of the populace will be so imminent that | it will require only a spark to let loose the dogs of war in our midst. Wilt you persist in hurling tbe cornerstone of our personal liberty to your wolfish hounds of collectors thirsting for its blood? If you persist the first thing . you know you will bave tbe chariot of a justly indignant revolution rolls tng along in our midst and gnashing its teeth as it roils. . "If your rascally collectors are pers mitted to continue coming to our doors with unblushing footsteps, with cloaks of hypocritical compunction in thelr mouths, and compel payment froos your patrons this policy will result to cutting the wool of the sheep that | lays the golden egg until you hdve pumped it dry, and then farewell, & | long furewell, to our vaunted prose perity."--HEverybody's. 7] When te Eat Fruit.
