FRED GUMBLE Harford St. . lfclillord Pa. THe East Stroudsburg State Normal School is winning for it self an enviable reputation because of the SUCCESS of its Graduates. The fall term will open Aug. 31, 1908. For catalogue and special infor mation, address E. L KEMP, Principal Fashion Cavalier 1 The Knight of the Golden Helmet rode brleVly down the lane. His sword made a pleasant clanking In the rusty scabbard, which It waa never Intended to lit; hit eyea sparkled; his plumea wared bravely ln the breeie. The general get-up of the gentleman of the aureate headpiece waa a trifle startling. Upon his head waa a basket, the handle beneath his chin and Its bottom (or rather top In Ha present position) decorated with the tail-feathers of an Incautious rooster; about hla waist waa a red sash stuck full of wooden dirks; from the left side of this sash half hung, half dragged the naval aword ln the old cavalry soab bard. A rake handle answered the purpose of a lance and bore as Its pennon a uttering, three-cornered piece of red flannel; upon the knight's fat, chubby legs were fastened plecea of zinc, evi dently Intended for greaves. The ateeJ he bestrode was a crooked piece of apple limb, with a bit of twine about one end of' It for reins. It Is probably quite aa Heedless to cite that, now the literature had been absorbed, he thlrstpd for deeds of valor. Hence the ride down the lane, and hence the whoops. But very unfor tunately It seemed to be an off day for opportunities He had Just aplaahed through the muddy pool where the cattle dranV each evening, and waa cantering blithely past the blrchea beyond, when he aaw a young man approaching a young man In flannels, very tall and straight, pleasant faced, too, although Just now the forehead was wrinkled In a frown and the firm Jaw was set ln determination. The young man was puffing vigorously at the briar pipe between bis teeth, aending out great blue clouda of smoke ln hla wake. The Knight of the Golden Helmet reined In bis steed and accosted the man before htm with a familiar: "Hey, Charlie!" Then, suddenly remembering the dignity of bis position, he squared his smalt shoulders and threw up his chin. ""What ho, Charles!" he corrected his firdt saluatlon. "Hold a bit I wouldst have converse with thee." The young man seemed aware for the first time of the other's presence. "Hello, Billy," said he, abstractedly glancing at the queer figure before him. "What's up now?" "I am the Knight of the Golden Hel met." waa the grave response. "You don't say. Where are you bound?" "Where la thy lady?" the knight de manded. "My lady? Tou mean your Aunt Margaret?" The knight nodded. "Down the lane a, bit, by the wal nut tree. Know ' (be place, don't you?" "Sure," was the unknlghtly reply. He drew a bit nearer; one band rested upon the hilt of the sword. "Why are you here, varlet?" he de manded. "Why hast thou deserted thy lady?" "Huh!" aald the man ln flannels. Then h burst Into laughter, but there was certain grating noise ln it Wen, Billy Mr. Golden Helmet, I mesa I'm bare because she sent me. Couldn't seem to endure my society are you en? And I hardly think you're correct In calling her my lady. Bhe Just told me mighty plainly that abe wasn't" "Back you go, craven!" he declared, flatly. "Hua? What?" aald the man ln the flannels. "Back you got I ride to the succor of ladies in distress." "Bully for you, old chap!" the other replied. "I think you'd better go alone, though." "Never!" bawled the knight "Turn around!" "See bere," the young man began Irritably, aa be took a step forward; but at that moment they both beard quick steps down the lane. Around the bend came the lady under discussion. Bha started violently at the eight of them. Her face was flush ed and her eyes wer auspiciously red. "I've got him," shouted the knight Joyously; "he's ln my power. He was deserting you, but I held blm up. I'll see he begs your pardon. If you aay to." The young woman drew herself up. Her face was scarlet now. "Billy, what are you doing? What is the meaning of this foolishness?'' she demanded. "Come on, you! Apologize!" said the youth sulkily, prodding the Imma culate white trousers with the point of his sword. "Margaret," he cried, "he's right 1 stould apologize, that's a fact I'm a pig-headed duller. The quarrel U my fa dt all mine." Xtea came few low words; a lit tle happy laugh from the girl, and then two of them strolled down the lsne together, utterly oblivious to the ridiculous figure which stood silently wa' -lng them until they disappeared around the bend. The Knight of the Golden Helmet remained thus for some moments. Ion in thought Then he turned about and went slowly up the lane. "Gee!" be muttered, "wouldn't that cook yer? This ain't tbe way they done it la the book." He waa still lost In his own mus lags as, whooplesa, he passed again the grating cattle and the huddled sheep. BARRY PRESTON. The American Girt Abroad. At the luncheon hour in the 8trand recently the traffic was held up, pe destrians puizled after the nearest fire alarm, constables spread tbetr arms and the crowd Increaaed. From the edge of the crowd tbe struggling wayfarer peered and heard the snap of the camera through the official si lence. It was an American girl snap hooting her companions. NOT IN THE V CATALOGUE 4 The reading room wag as quiet as a ton..... is'ow n:id t'arn r,ora studs its turned a page Impatiently and the pa per gave forth a sharp rustle as though aggrieved at such -irreverent treatment, but visitors and attendants alike moved about with slieut ire .d, rubber caps rendered chair legs noise less when they were moved, and the very card catalogue drawers moved on silent ways. Linda loved this quiet After- the clatter and clutter of a buBy office which she had been compelled to es cape because of nerves threatened to grow unruly, the bookish silence of the reading room waa more than grateful. She was sorry when the closing hour came, ard, after a brlet interval spent in checking up the slips and aeeing that the books were re placed In their proper stacks, she bad to go out into the turmoil of the bus) street The quiet place was never lonesome. Linda bad many friend among those quiet, atudious men and women who spent their days pouring over the ref erence books. There waa the little old woman from the costumers who spent daya over old books In search of correct pictures of the dresses of by-gone days; there waa the little old German who waa reading everything he could find upon chemistry, and there was the tall, quiet man who dis played a singular catholicity of taste. One day It would be books on astrono my that he wanted, and again he would be Interested ln geography or chemistry. Of them all this man Ballington was the most regular ln his attendance and seemed the most I like an old frlond. It was he who. had quietly aided Linda with suggestions which ehn bad first come to the room. He had been a "resular" and had known ni'-e of the routine than she did. But it was often that IJnJ was able to help him with a suggestion as to new book, for her . heart was in her work and she was something more than an automaton, dealing out the books called for with mechanical in difference. Balllngtcn, Richard Ballington she knew the name from his slips seemed almost a part of the rending room it self, bo regular was he in attendance and hla good morning smile was a pleasant opening of. the day's routine. Last Christmas he bad brough. a little gift the day before the holiday and sometimes, when luck was par ticularly good, a box of candy would come back with a book. The summer before their vaca tions had overlapped and for an entire month she had not seen him. Bhe was glad whan the vaca tion waa over and she could come back to her place at the desk with the beloved books around tier and with Ballington sitting in the chair ln a far corner where he was least likely to be disturbed. For once Linda was glad as the hands of the clock crept around to closing time and ebe knew that ln an hour more she would be free to hur ry home and creep into bed. Just be fore the hands reached the closing hour Ballington rose from bis place and brought a book to the desk. Then, instead of leaving, he went over to the catalogue and began to scan the cards ln one of the drawers. Fo- a few months Linda watched him, then he looked up with the familiar glance of appeal and she came over to the catalogue drawer. "Struck for a title?" she asked In a voice so low that it seemed scarce ly to be a whisper. "What's the let ter?" . . t a. .. . ."'L.' said Ballington. !' 'Lo,' to be exact." "Logging?" she asked. "That's un der lumber." '. r' . . , "Not logging," be denied. "It's a shorter word. 'L-o-v-e.'" "I don't think that's catalogued," she said in dismay. "It's a funny sub ject Suppose we look for 'Ro mance'?" "Let's look for romance, but not In books," be pleaded. "I know that this is a silly sort of proposal, but I love you, little girl I've been sure of It ever since l?.3t summer, when I missed you for a whole month. Those two weeks when you were away I sltrply could not do any reading. I've been trying ever olnce to toll you, but I didn't see how. I don't waut to hant around outeide o! the library until ; oti couio out, and I do want you to he'.i me look for rouia::ca, Linda, even though It la not In toe titles?" "I think It Is !n the catalogue," she said, eoi'tly, "but If you'd rather, I'll help you after hoars." "There may be a romance in the catalogue," snld Bslllngron, "but no as good a romance aB there la this uiorae nt Just outside tbe drawers. Yoi do tare a little bit, Linda." "Since lat vacation," she admitted 'You may come this evening If yo !ko lo begin the study." Pallinpron mpde a note of her ail 3re33 ard left the place with e'.asti stsT aud beating heart, while L'r.-t ent back to roeive the books t'ai I'eadt-rs were returning. As she gav rni 1 look around aa tlie.iast boolt v,-? strcVed and t:ie day's vvork done, sV patttd the catalogue .cabinet aa sh passed It, "You're awfully wise." she wlilste td, "with your thousands of titles. 1 you haven't 'Love,' and I'm er ror you." Then Linda walked o r enter a new world. Unfortunate. "Ah!" said the candidate, "this Is Farmer Whlffletree's place, I believe. And you have Just celebrated your golden wedding, I understand?" "Golden weddin' nuthla'l" was the response. "I've Just been sued for ten thousand dollars' wuth of breach of promise. You've got your card Index mixed." Washington Herald. 13m as ra ...mi .... j Addse's Proposal cj iis a an as aa . Of course, Addle Ronolda did not flirt She would toll you so herself, but there were some ill-natured per sons ln Brookton who were an un kind as to declare that a young wom an who dragged half a score of esger Minors at her chariot wheels was e, confirmed flirt "She's the sort that dies an old maid," explained Mrs. Cady, In the awed voice of one who regarda spin Isterhood as a disgrace unbearable. Phil Brewster, one of her most ar dent admirers, was undoubtedly good looking. He was full six feet tall, we'll built and, when he forgot to pose which was seldom he moved alert ly and with natural grace. Tim Darn ley waa his exact opposite. He lacked six Inches of Brewster's height and he could not coax a romantic glance Into his blue eyes, try ss he would. His hair was thin and Inclined to reddish tint and there were times when be felt that bis banda were as large as dinner plates. Now aa she sat there with halt n dozen cavaliers ln attendance, and the entire congregation of the Brick church looking on, Addle enjoyed the situation. 8be could Imagine tbe gos sips declaring, as they had done at every social she could remember, that the Sunday school rooms were Just the same as the church Itself, and that It was profanation of the house of the Lord for ber to carry on so. That was one of the reasons why Addle always flirted more desperately at the church socials than at other times. Thus It happened that the New Year festival of the ladles of the Chancel guild waa enlivened hv iho addition to the ranks of Addle's vlc- muo ui uie latest arrival in town, Sam Bhanlev. who had charge of the new bridge. The town men were inclined to resent the pres ence of the newcomer, anil tha rant of Brookton regarded with amusement tneir efforts to oust the latest rival, .a the evening nassed Addle fnnnii tho maneuvering rather tiresome, and she slipped away so quietly that none saw her go. It was supposed that Bhe had gone home, but Tim, wandering into tne empty auditorium, saw the gleam of white dress near the chan cel, and In the dim light that flickered through the ground glass partition of the Sunday school room, ha recognized the proud toss of the head. He would recognize Addle anywhere, and his heart leaped with Joy as he realized that she bad not permitted 8hanley to escort her home, but bad slipped away from that eager young man and waa here alone. Softly he made his way toward her, but not until he spoke did she seem to realize his presence. "I came In here to be alone," she explained, as she looked up. "I don't mean that I mind you," she added, quickly, aa Tim offered to go; "but the boys have been horrid to Mr. Bhanley, and I haven't been enjoying myself a bit" "I thought you liked to see the boys fighting over you," suggested Tim. "I know that when Brewster came to town " Addle interrupted with an Impa tleut gesture. "I don't want to talk about Phil Brewster or about anyone," she said, wearily. "I bave been sitting here making a New Year's resolution. I am not going to let any of the boys pome to see me during the new year, and if anyone dare to propose to I me I ahan't apeak to him again. I'm tlird of it all, Tim." . "If n very good resolution," de clared Tim. virtuously. "I bona that you live up to It." "I'm going to," declared Addle, flrmlv. "What are vnu Innkinv a ni,i watch for?" she added, curiously, as rim struck a match to glance at the dial. "Tea minutes of 12." he announced aa he slipped the watch back into his pocket and ground the match under his heel. "I was wondering bow much more time I bad." "Are you going to make a resolu tion, too?" she asked. "Not a resolution, but a last pro posal." be exolalned. "If vou am ant going to listen to proposals next year, want to mass mine now, before it IS tOO Iste. I have, not annlran ha- cause when I see you with the othor fellows I reallzo how little chance 1 stand, and yet uhen you tell me that I cannot spoak for a whole year I feel that I must tell you that I love you mil a3U you If there Is any hope for ne. I dou't suppose that there is." Ha had risen to his feel sgaln, while ne poe, end now be stood before 'ier, his pale, eager face lighted by "he dim Illumination from' the rooms T'tere tho festival was In progress. As he finished tpeaking. the bell in he. tower began to toll the knell of ho ycr and the sonorous strokes chocd oddly througn the empty hurch. "If you want me to ssy 'No,' of onrae 1 shall try and do aa you ask" i'gin Addle. Tim grasped her hands mi drew her toward him. "Ho you mean that perhaps there Is 1 different answer?" he cried, hoarse v "Addle, do you -mean that ?" "Don't yoa suppose that there was OT,e reason for my not accepting the rther proposals?" suggested the girl. Of course, I could not ask you to arry uie, but now that you have " "You have had your last proposal,' e cried. "Dear, this Is going to be he happiest New Year for me!" "And for me, too," agreed Addle. Malign All Through. Castro had gone to Europe to have a malign growth removed. "Can It be done?" ha asked, anxi ously. The surgeon shook his head.
