She Was Told the Story of the
Lady of Shalott.
By VIRGINIA LEILA WENTZ.
ICoryrlght. 1500, by Associated Literary
Press. J
It bail been nu unusually oppressive
day even for August. Every one
scorned sleepy or sleeping. Cobblers
slept with half mended boots iu their
laps; Italian women slept at their fruit
stands with sleeping babies at their
breasts; horses trotted conscientiously
along In front of sleeping drivers.
In the department store where An
tona Wheat ou worked the day had
beeu dlincult. especially behind the
stuffy corner where she measured out
ribbons. And, oh. what a godsend the
loud souudiug bell at U had beeu! Most
of the girls iu the store were city bred,
and they acccpted the conuitlous of
August pbilosopbiaclly, but Antoun
Wheaton had come from a fresh iittlo
country town in the west, and as sho
leaned from her boarding house win
dow? th<? third tloor hall room, back?
a few minutes before going down to
dinner it seemed to her that she was
locked in a place of torment from
which no escape was possible.
They dined at 7 iu Mrs. Brown's
boarding house. Iu the half hour that
Antona had been home she had taken
a sponge bath, brushed her silky, flax
en hair aud changed her black alpaca
dress for a simple white tnusllu. As
she leaned out of the window from the
open space beside the storage house
in the rear she could see the dust
carts roll down the streets. The whisk
ing of their big rotary brooms remind
ed the country bred girl of largo tur
key gobblers sweeping the earth with
disdainful, proud wlugs. The open
space faced the west, and. resting her
little oval checks In her hands, Antona
could see that the suu wns doing Its
best to set with some sort of rightful
beauty, even Iti this homely downtown
section.
"Whore the quiet colored end of
evenlug smiles"?
Antona was speaking to . erself in a
reprehensible fashion thnt was grow
ing on her. trying to recall some verses
which Francis Logan had quoted to
her one sunset time down on the Bat
tery. She had fancied she could re
member them, they were so simple and
lovely.
Just then Mrs. Brown's cracked din
ner bell rang.
Across the long, narrow table Fran
cis Logan glanced at Antona with
something like a lump born of a big.
protective Instinct rising in Ills throat.
: Every vestige of fresh couutry roso
i bloom had Hod from the girl's sweet
face, and in the Intervals when she
fancied she was not observed the
young fellow's alert eye noticed that
black lashos rested heavily against
her check as would those of one who Is
; overweary.
Antona's weariness struck home per
haps because of contrast. Francis him
self was more than usually happy that
j night.
The big Importing house where ho
was employed had that very morning
sent a note to his desk informing him
that his salary had been Increased
some $10 a month. Ills dear mother,
over in Devonshire, had Just written
him that a relative had left her an un
expected little legacy. Altogether the,
world was going well with Francis Lo
can.
"You look pleased, Mr. Logan," ob
served Mrs. Brown from her accus
tomed seat at the head of the table.
"Ah. I remember? this Is your favor
ite soup!"
For live years now young Logan had
!>eon an Inmate of Mrs. Brown's estab
lishment without having ever changed
his seat at table or his room. Natural
ly Mrs. Brown sought to Ingratiate her
self with him.
"Why. my dear," she had exclaimed
once to Antona in a burst of enthusi
asm, "he knows all the poets by heart.
| lie sees only the best plays, oven
though it i my be from gallery seats,
lie knows .ill the flnest pictures up In
the Metro; lilun. lie has what they
eall an \.t: taste too. My lands,
you should bear him notice the sunset
at the end of a i.arrow city street or a
tiny Uower out In the park or"?
"Yes. I know," said Antona Impul
sively, for once coming out of her re
serve. "He's pure gold? that's what ho
Is!"
"Huh! 'Gold'/' " Mrs. Brown had re
torted disdainfully. "None o' your
pretty, soft yellow stuff for hltn. He's
good, solid, practical steel, If any ono
asked me. Don't you forget It, Miss
Wheatou. And if you could be fortu
uate enough to tie up to him"?
Mrs. Brown had broken off abruptly
at a Hash from Miss Whoaton's eyo.
One dared net presume too far with
Miss Wheatou, in spite of the silky,
. .laxeti I: and the childish dimples,
as mat of the young men In the de
part rneut store had found out.
"if only they could bo a little more
| like Mr. Logan!" Antona had more
than once found herself commenting as
she pinned up her colored bolts. "Ho
is the soul of honor, and I? I don't
know what I'd do without him!"
"Had n stroke of luck today, little
girl." Logan waylaid Antona as she
was going upstairs after the scanty
sauccr of raspberries, made purple
with milk, had been oaten. "I want
you to come out touight and help me
>elebrate? if you'll do me the honor."
A little later, from the basement din
ing room window. Mrs. Brown, who
was arranging her clotk for next
morning's breakfast, watched them go
up the street together. Anton, in her
simple white muslin, wor* a sodding
snruy of Dink rtiw at her wal?t. As
they walked toward tho west the
you uk fellow's eyes wero fastened
; udorlugly upou her.
"Guess they'll hit It off all right,"
commented Mrs. Brown a? she went
ou refilling the porcelain. saltcellaru.
"I'll tell you what we'll do," said
Frauels as they walked toward the
cars. "We'll go out to Riverside drive
and sit there for awhile till the night
gets cooler; then we'll go to some big
uptown restaurant and order some Ice
cold chicken salad."
"Oh." broke In Autona In economic,
defeuse, "I'd Just as lief go to n drug
storo and have some nice soda."
"Now, don't you bother about the
expense, little one." said Francis gay
ly. "As I said, I've bad a rare stroke
of luck today, and when we get' out on
one of thoso cool benches on the drive
I'm going to tell you about lb"* Also
he determined resolutely to himself he
would tell her something else. She
needed to be petted and taken care of*
The car ride to the river w^s long.
The sun glow had faded entirely out of
the west and the gray veil that spread
between the night and day was already
beginning to be pricked by the city's
Innumerable lights when Anally they
reached the drive and leaned over the
stone wall that edged it. Tbe^Eallsaites
on the opposite shore cast huge black
shadows upon the water. Near by a
yacht or two were at anchor. Silently,
mysteriously, their lights camc up, ono
by one. Over on the Jersey shore a big
building which by day showed Itself to
be an unsightly factory now took on
tho majesty of a mediaeval castle.
"See the turrets and spires," said
Francis, calling Antona's attention te
It. "Do you know the story of Um
Lady of Shalott?" he added. "She lived
In a grand castle? we'll pretend that's
It." ho nodded toward the factory?
"and from the highest window she
watched her lover. Sir Launcelot, go
ing by. and she drifted down the river
| to Qnd blm. We'll pretend this is the
river, and? dear little Lady of Shalott,
will you let me be your Sir Launcelot?
I love you and want you to marry- me
and let me take care of you. Sorely,
little one. you are so fragile and sweet
you need to be taken care of. Will
you?" ? ?
The girl's eyes as he spoke; were dis
tant. All the yellow lights on the
yachts seemed to bo swinging them
selves together.
? ? , ? ?j, , , ? ?
"Just look at my hair, Francis," An
tona was saying twenty minutes later,
with a shy note of laughter.
"I'm looklug at It, dear," said Fran
cis oddly, with something like a catch
In his rich young voice. "And Just to
think I'm going to have it to look at
i all my life!"
"Nicknackitorian."
London shopkeepers' slang Is a de
lect in itself nod one. tii&t Is always
changing. What, then, is a "nlcknack
itorlan?" Wo know not tho word to
day; but, looking, recently through
some old law cases dating about a
hundred years back, I was puzzled t*
And It applied In all good faith to
describe a plaintiff In the sheriff's
court. On further search it turned out
to be a piece of forgotten cockney
slang for a dealer in brie-a-brac.
The evidence showed that this plain
tiff kept a sort of old curiosity shqp,
in which he dispensed "mummies,"
, poisoned arrows, tho bead of Klflg Ar
thur's spear and a genuine manuscript
of the "flrst play acted by Thespls and
!iis company In a wagon I*! The de
fendant, a woman, had actually
bought and paid for some of these
rarities, but she died after having com
missioned tho embalming of an orang
outang to add to her collection, and
for this her executors refused to pay.
Counsel for the defense poured con
tempt on the mummy of tho orang
outang and called it a "stuffed mon
| key." ,
Hut tho "nlcknackltorlan" won his
case. Ills profession was more taking
than his name.? Manchester Quardlan.
An Equal Test.
It is an interesting fact that the two
studies of arithmetic and geography
often seem to bo opposed to each other
in the affections of school ahlldren.
Pupils who are particularly proficient
In tho one are apt to bo backward la
the other. .. . . ...
A story is told o ? a youngster who
was slow in arithmetic and whoso ap
parent stupidity in this field was a
great source of grief to his father, a
clever mathematician, i
Ono day wheu tho father and sou
wero walking out they passed a placo
where a "learned pig" was on exhibi
tion, and the father took the boy la to
see the prodigies that the animal could
perform.
"Just look at that I!' said tho father.
"Why, there's a pig that can count and
add up numbers! Don't you wish you
were as smart as he?"
"Ha!" answered the boy. "Just let
me ask him a few questions In geog
raphy! I reckon I could beat him at
that!"
Told by Sydney Smith.
The late Lord Dudley was a moat
absentmlnded man. "One day,'1 says
Sydney Smith, "he met me la tho
street and invited me to meet myself.
'Dine with me today; dine with me,
and I will get Sydney Smith to meet
you.' I admitted the temptation held
out to me, but said he was engaged to
meet me elsewhere. Another time, in
meeting me be put his arm through
mine, muttering, '1 don't mind walking
With him a little way; I'll walk with
him as far as the end of tho street.'
He rery nearly overset my gravity once
In th? pulpit. Ho was sitting imme
diately under me, apparently very at>
tentlve, when suddenly he took up hla
stick as If he bad been in the house of
commons and, tapping the ground with
k, tried out in a low but very audible
whisper, 'Hear, hear!' " (

"Cuticura Remedies ore all you claim
them to bo. I had eccoma for over
two years. I had two physicians, but
thev only gave mo relief for a short timo
and 1 cannot enumerate the ointments
and 'lotions I used to no purpose. My
ankles were one mass of sores. Tho
itching and burning were so intense that
I could not sleep. I could not walk for
nearly four months. Oho day my
husband said I had better try the Cutl
cura Remedios. After using them three
timuH. 1 had tho beet night's "est in
months unless I took on opiate. I used
one sot of Outioura Soup, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent Pills,
and my ankles healed in a short time.
It Is now a year sinco I used Cuti
cura, and there has been no return of
tho tx-zema.
"I had a small lump in tho corner of
myieyo for over a year which was very
painful and got larger all tho time. I
thought I would try Cuticura Soap and
Ointment on it, and now it is gone. I
am seventy-three years old and have
lived on tne farm I now occupy for
twenty-seven years. Cuticura Reme
dies are the safest and most reliable I
have ever used for all skin humors. Mrs.

HIDDEN DANGERS
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Alaska Citizen Can Afford
to Ignore.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 1 comes
from the kidney secretions. They wl
warn you when the kidneys are sick.
Well kidneys excrete a clear, amber
fluid. Sick kidneys send out a thin,
palo and foamy, or a thick, red, Ill
smelling urine, full of sediment and
Irregular of passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes
from the back. Back pains, dull and
heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you of
sick kidneys and warn you of the ap
proach of dropsy, diabetes and Bright'
disease. Doan's Kidney Pills cure
sick kidneys and euro them perma
nently. Here Is proof In tho state
ment of a fellow sufferer.
Theodore JosepliBon, 515 Seventh
St., Astoria, Oregon, says:
"About five years ago I used Doan'
Kidney Pills and derived benefit
benefit At that time I was suffer
ing from pains across my back and
loins, often so severe that I was un
able to stoop or straighten. My kid
neys also bothered me a great deal,
tho secretions generally being too fre
quont in passage. At last Doan's
Kidney Pills were brought to my at
tention and I procured a box. I used
them and as a result my health is
now excellent. I take a few doses of
Doan's Kidney Pills now and then,
when feeling any sign of backache
and they never fail to remove the
trouble."
