In the meadows beyond the stream, little shepherd boys had heard the horn and were swarming, spider-like, over the hedges, sending up shrill shouts.

Now it was a crowd of little brothers throwing .themselves upon a big one; now a blooming lass flinging her arms around her sweet­ heart's neck; and again, a farmer's little daughter leaping joyously into her father's embrace.

But it was not long before tjie young man's kindness, divined the source of her pain. He spoke ip<J{uick word to those behind, and waving aside those befcre, touched spur to the white horse. In „ a moment the good steed had borne them out of the crowd and down the slope, followed only by the old cnihts and the dozen armed retainers.' As the hoofs rang hollow on the lit­ tle bridge that spanned the stream, the Etheling spoke again in his voice of careless gentleness.

Knocking over her spinning-wheel to get to him, the woman Hildelitha threw her arms around her young lord's neck and gave him a hearty smack on either cheek; while the fat monk sputtered blessings between his paroxysms of coughing, and the six blooming girls made a screaming cir­ cle around him. Though he endured it amiably enough, the Etheling appeared in some haste to offer a diversion. He evaded a second embrace by turning and beckoning to his shrinking captive. "Save a little of your greeting for my guest, good nurse. Behold the lire- eating Dane that I have catured with my own right arm!" As the red- cloaked figure still hung back, he pufled it gently forward until the light of the notched candles fell brightly on the face, pitifully white for all its blood-stains, in the frame of tumbled bjack tresses. "A Dane?" the women cried shrilly; then, with equal unanimity, burst out laughing, t • • Randalin drew a little nearer the Etheling's sheltering side. He said half reprovingly, half freakishly, "It would not be well for you to ang&r him. H^ is the page of Canute him­ self, a real Wandering Wolf, and recks not whom he attacks. He earner near to spitting Oslac, at the battle, and even threatened me." "Oslac!" screamed one of the, serv­ ing-maids, turning very red. "The murderous little fiend!" And Father Ingulph cleared his throat loudly. "Well-fltting is your * charity both toward my teachings and your heart, my son; and yet--Discre­ tion is the mother of other virtues. To bring one of those roving children of Satan into a Christian, household will lay upon me a responsibility which-- which--" He paused to take a mouth­ ful of wine and eye the stranger over the goblet rim with much disfavor. While the maids whispered excited­ ly in one another's ears, Hildelitha began to snilf behind her apron. "I do not see why you wanted to bring him home. Lord Sebert. You know that Danes are odious to me since my husband, of holy memory, fell under their axes--most detestable --yet I would not anger you, my hon­ ey-sweet lord," she broke off abruptly.

Chicago Newspaper Pokes Fun at th* Aged Financier, Mr. Russell Sage has dealt a telling and timely blow to the lamentable habit of t/-'p'r;g vacations. Coming at the time wr.pn tbe great majority of people are • -pio-Wng- -pgaiBsjt-their own interests by arranging for the annual peregrination to fashionable watering places, Mr. Sage's convincing argu­ ment will dorbtless, put the matter to msny people in a ii.ew light. There U no doubt that a great many good business opportunities slip by a per­ son when he is off on his vacation. A quielK.break in the stock market-- a momentary slpjnp in real estate-- the n iderwritirg of sorde new con­ cern at' tempting prices--all these golden chances may escape the man who i<3 hid away in some far off forest or mountain retreat. The man at home is the man who "gets in" and makes a neat little turn with the tids. In Mr. Sage's oprrion the fishing on Wall street is better than on Lake Greenwood, and higher priced game is bagged in the stock exchange than in the i'oreat of Arden. It may. be all right for some people to tune their "merry note unto the sweet bird's throat," but for Mr. Sage the voice of the auctioneer calling down choice bits of property about town Is much more enlivening.--Chicago Tribune. |,^rour Edmund--I think he lies tCfeim- ! mourn j our kin with tears; yet I pray :>elf also." , [ Morcard gave out a dry chuckle. #"By Saint Cuthbert," he muttered, V^too much has not been told concern- &Ailng the sharpness of children!"

" A' parrdt belonging to a Mme. Tar- by of Paris has won distinction by leading the police to arrest a band of clever and notorious burglars. The band broke into Mme. Tarby's house at a i time when orly the bird was within. As soon as the mistress re­ turned the bird, much to her surprise, saluted her with "Hullo, big feet!" When she discovered the ransacked state of her lus&se she sent at once for the police, and.,upon the commis­ sary arriving he vas also greeted by the parrot with the observation, "Hullo, big feet!" The commissary resented the re­ mark, and said, "Hush!" to the bird, which replied at once. "Oh, hurry up, big feet; you are slow, big feet!" The commissary turned to Mme. Tarby, and the latter, anticipating a complaint, hastened to explain to the indignant officer that the bird had never used the expression before that day. Af that a light hrjke ln upon the commissary. " "Big Feet' is the nickname of a no­ torious burglar,", he explained. "1 see it; your bird has repor ed the rob­ bery."

Verdict of a New York Writer Who Spent • I Exposition at St. Louis in July. n . i « , . . < n f t ii .1^ ii .lyy •• i «^/v n. <mv I, i <>yv Week at the The World's Fair at St. Louts Is now iu the uiidat of its splendid sea­ son. Colossal, cothplete, cosmopoli­ tan, it commands the attention of the world as no other enterprise of the present year. From all nations there are pilgrims coming to this shrine, and from all our states and territories tbere is a constantly growing throng of visitors. United States 'Senators, Governors of States, men eminent in science, art and letters--all express unqualified admiration for the Expos!- 'ion and free abquiescence in the oft- repeated statement that this Is by far the greatest and best universal expo­ sition ever held. During July a well-known magazine and newspaper, writer from New York, Mr. Addison Steele, spent a week at the World's Fair, inspecting the grounds, buildings and various attrac­ tions as thoroughly as was possible in that limited period. Returning home, Mr. Steele published in Brooklyn Life the following appreciative com­ ments on the Exposition: In the expressive language of the cay, St. Louis "has the goods." I had expected much of the Louisiana Pur­ chase Exposition, for I had kept in touch with the making of it from its very inception, five years ago; but after nearly a week of journeying through this new wonderland I must confess that in every essential par­ ticular it is far, beyond my expecta­ tions. The biggest and best it was meant to be and the biggest and best ent parts do Justice to their nsbi|ity of architecture and general grandeur. Then again In the ground plans and bird's eye sketches--the oniy possible manner of showing it--the tan-shaped arrangement of this group looked stiff and unsatisfying. Far from that, it is quite as remarkable in its way as the famous Court of Honor, of the Colum­ bian Exposition. In one respect it ia even more notable, for instead of two grand vistas it offers a dozen. The main vista is, of course, the one look­ ing up the Plaza of St. Louis--whose crowning feature is the great Louisi­ ana Purchase Monument---and across the Grand Basin to the Cascade Gar­ dens. On the right are the Varied In­ dustries and Electricity buildings and on the left Manufacturers and Edu­ cation, these--with Transportaiion and Machinery still further to the right and Liberal Arts and Mines beyond at the left--making up the body of the fan. For its handle the fan has the Cascade Gardens^--rising In a grand terrace to. a height of sixty-five feet above th^ floor level of the buildings .mentioned and crowned by the great Festival Hall, the Terrace of States £>nd the East and West Pavilions--and the Fine Arts building directly behind. • * • « The Pike has in the Tyrolean Alps the finest concession that I have ever seen. There is a great square with many quaint buildings, a little village i-treet,. and above the snow-clad moun­ tains--which look very real as the ir. finite variety, auq as a rale the full money's worth to given. The mous Jerusalem and cessions are not on the Pike. • * * It is a case of dine at the German Pavilion and die at the exposition. In a beautiful Modeme Kunst building adjoining Das Deutsche Haus the best fcod and the highest prices on the grounds are to be found, the table d'hote lunch and dinner costing two and three dollars, respectively. There is also a la carte service. Everything considered, the prices are^not exces­ sive, and at least One mea? should be taken there for the experience. An­ other should be taken at the Tyrolean Alps, either outdoors or in the gor: geous dining-room in the mountaln- eide. The best French restaurant is at Paris, on the Pike. Lower in prices and in every way admirable are the two restaurants conducted by Mrs. Rorer in the pavilions Of Cascade Gardens. The east one has wait-, l esses and no beer and the west one waiters and beer. For a bit of lunch Germany. France and England all offer delicious pastry in the Agricul­ tural building. These are not free ads, but time-saving tips for the trav­ eler. There are no end of restaurants to fit all purses on the grounds. I tried nine of them and nowhere found the prices more than they ought to be. As a matter of fact, for neither food r,or lodging no one need pay any more ai St. Louis than he feels that he can New Field for Women. A new field for womei artistic ability is the designing <jf mosaic patterns. A number of Brook­ lyn women have done good work ill this direction. Besides marble, piece* of Tiffany gla&s are used.

Ancient Picts iri Englahd were called by the Celtic word "pehta" or fighters. This was Latinized into Pic- ti. So, too, Barbary of the ancient maps is a monument to the miscalling of the Berber tribe by the Greek word signifying "barbarian." Even the leg­ end of the victory of Guy of Warwick over the dun cow is assailed by ruth­ less etymologists, who insist upon its derivation from his conquest over the "Derta gau," or Danish settlement, at the champion's gates. The Celtic words 'alt maen" are responsible for many "old man" crags upon sea coasts and among mountains. They mean, however, "high rock."

Sometimes I was s#" b nervous I could not hold a plate ill $/., my hands! and other times I thought I would surely die sitting at the table, "This went on until about two yearf, ^ ago when one day I did not use anjfc: coffee and I noticed I was not so nervl • ous and told my husband about iti He had been telling me that It might 1 be the coffee but I Bald 'No, I have been drinking coffee all my life andg^s It cannot be.' But after this I thought I would try and do without and drinl* hot water. I did this for several days^lfi but got tlrej of the hot water and •0." went to drinking coffee and as soon^, as I began coffee again I was nervouf * again. Thin proved that it was th$ 31 coffee that caused my troubles. V " "We had tried Post tun but had noCT?J made it right and did not like it, but now 1 decided to give it another trial. ^ so 1 read the directions on the pack* age carefully and made it after these*1' ^ directions and it was simply delicious^~T^ so we quit coffee for good and the re»" suits are wonderful. Before, I could not sleep but now I go to bed and ^ sleep sound, am not a bit nervou$_t: now, but work hard and can waU^f' miles. Nervous headaches are gone|; my heart does not bother me ansl^ more like It did and I don't have any of the smothering spells and would you believe it? I am getting fat. Wfl>: drink Postum now and nothing else and even my husband's headaches- have disappeared; we both sleejf' sound and healthy now and that's 4 blessing." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
