To the time when she was plucked from

that ''Favorite Pi

When the keepers, Mr. Snyder nnd
Mr. Shannon, attempted to remove the
alligators from their pen in Central
park, New York, to their winter quar
ters under the lion house the other
day the animals rebelled, and it was
only after the largest one had been
tied up with ropes and the smaller one
placed in bags that they were sub
dued. While they were being trans
ferred they bit ut the keepers, nnd
roared so loudly that many people
were attraajed to the scene.
The keepers were greeted with sav
age roars when they approached the
largest alligator in the ien and tried
place a rope about its head. Every
time the keeper came near with the
rope in hia hand the animal bit at him,
and finally the keeper retired to devise
a plan by which he could get the rope
about his neck. This was done with
the assistance of another keeper and
a loud noise to divert the reptile.
Then Mr. Snyder, by a quick move
ment, succeeded in lassoing the alli
gator. Tying it fc a post, the keepers
succeeded, after much maneuvering,
in putting the rope about its nose and
under its jaws so it could not bite.
Struggling and making desperate ef
forts to free himself, the alligator was
carried into its winter home.
l.oantaK of Jewelrj',
It is the practice of London West
end jewelers to loan magnificent
tiaras and other articles of jewelry for
special iocca.sions. These things are
loaned as a courtesy to specially pood
customers, while other people less well
known must make a deposit of the
value of the jewels before takinjrthem.
Derivation of "Tnwdrj-."
"Tawdry" is derived from St. Au
drey. In the early middle ajjes fairs
were held in France and Kn-rland on
St. Audrey day, and those annual patb
crinps became noted for the paudy
and worthless jewelry sold nt them.

Kitty Green'.
Elopement v
By WILLIAM J. LAMPTON
tCopyrlulit, W0I, by Author! Sin ll. nti .i
KITTY ORKKN had promised J. In
Meldon to be his wife, but lxil.y
was a woman, and women are i;!fii'.,
from the cradle to the prave. She
was pretty nnd petted, nud even the
promise she ha given to her lover
wns not always a reminder to her
that her first duty was to him. John
Meldon was one of the nvi who be
lieve with the poet;
"Her very frowns are talrer far.
Than smiles of other molilen are,"
And when she frowned upon him for
the pood ndviee he, as ten years her
swnior, felt he had the ripht to pive
her, he loved her the more and wns
the more zealous, feeling that when
nt last he had won her completely
flie would be more precious to him
for the effort required in the winning.
lint Kitty Green's temper and tem
perament were not of the John Mel
don sort yet, and althouph she hnd
promised to be his wife and said she
loved hirri better than any other man
in all the world, it must be confessed
that Kitty could not persuade herself
to withdraw her beauty and her win
some ways entirely from the admira
tion of other men, as it is provided
In all cases of affairs of the heart
the woman should do. No, Kitty loved
admiration, and she loved to tease
the excellent young man who had
been the only one who had won a
final nnd definite promise from her.
They had been engaged for three
months, and, while a portion of that
time was Paradise to John, there
were other pprtions of it when, if he
had been asked for his opinion, It is
feared that it would scarcely have
been appropriate for publication. Yet
with it nil, the idea of not loving her
never once entered his mind. He
knew the story, from his infancy, of
the children of Israel In the wilder
ness, and their final deliverance and
joy in the Promised Land was his
pillar of fire to lead him through the
darkest nipht of Kitty's willfulness
and coquetry.
Her latest disregard of his wishes,
not to say his rights, was her permit
ting the attention of one Maj. Hunter,
who had appeared in Winston social
circles as a hero from the Philippine
islands. Nobody had inquired of the
war department at 'Washington for
the major's credentials, and he was .
Mich an attractive gentleman that no '
one thought of doing such a thing.
In fact, all Winston society simply
fell at the major's feet and worshiped
because he had such elegant manners
nnd such an extensive and intimate
acquaintance with luth avenue and
Newport and the diplomatic circles
of the capital that to have questioned
his position or any statement he
made of himself would have been
high treason. John Meldon, not being
a society man, was not included
nmong the worshipers of the major,
and he was in a proper frame of mind
to consider him calmly and to con- j
elude that there was a mouse in the
meal bap, though just where and how
he had not then the means of know
ing. What Mr. Meldon knew definite
ly of the major was that he had
proved conclusively to himself that
Kitty Green would come into posses
sion of a fortune plenty large enough
for two when she was 21 years of
age and that no other girl in Winston
had anything like such prospects. For
further particulars the major did not
seem to care.
j Kitty's lover maintained a discreet
silence on the subject of the major
until forbearance ceased to be a vir
tue, nnd then he very mildly suppest
ed one evening that she mipht at
lenst divide her time between her
promised husband nnd the ubiquitous
mnjor.
"Maj. Hunter is a gentleman," she
said, with a toss of her pretty head,
"and if I want to see him every day
In the week I shall do so."
"Vou have the ripht to do as you
please, sweetheart," said Meldon,
coaxinply, "but you have no ripht to
I say who or what Maj. Hunter is until
I you know."
"I know Maj. Hunter is a gentle
man," she continued. "Haven't I seen
him nearly every day since he has
been in town, and if he were not a
gentleman, wouldn't I know?"
"Sweetheart, sweetheart," pleaded
her lover, "you are a dear little thing
that a man of the world, such as
Hunter is, could fool to death, and
he is fooling you now. He has even
gone so far as to investigate the rec
ords to learn how much money you
have."
Kitty became wildly indignant on
the instant.
"Do you mean to iniinunte, Mr. Mel
don," she exclaimed, with a flushed
face and in an angry tone, "that Maj.
Hunter has no regard for me except
for my money?"
"Surely, Kitty," asserted Meldon.
"I say it positively as my belief."
"Then I'll ask him," she said. "And,
Mr. Meldon," she went on, "for this
dander you have uttered against a
man who has always ben polite and
attentive to me, you may consider our
engagement broken. You think Maj.
Hunter is no gentleman, and I think
you are not one. Uood evening, Mr.
Meldon, and good-by."
Meldon might have pleaded his
cause, might hava apologized, might
have recanted his Hunter heresy, but
Kitty hud disappeared from sight, and
he went out of her nouse cursing him
aelf for a blundering Idiot, and yet
feeling that he was not altogether
wrong. He hod been properly armed
for the conflict, only he iImI not know
how to tie his weapons. John Mel
don was not n woman fighter; he was
n woman lover, and that Kind of a
tonn is always weak, always awkward
in the face of the foe.
Kitty was Impulsive nnd Impetuous,
and what she said to the major or
what lie said to her no one knew, but
by that fate which is always putting
a' boy in the ripht place John Mel
don's office boy was tip n June apple
tree in the Green orchard on the
right, two weeks aftrr his employer's
dismissal, and he overheard Kitty nnd
the major, on a rustic bench below-,
making their final arrangements for
an elopement. What the boy was do
ing up the apple tree is not a mat
ter of chronicle; boys have been
known to go up apple trees with ripe
apples on them for various reasons,
and perhaps this boy was not unlike
other boys. In any event, he was up
the tree.'and he heard what wns said
underneath his perch, nnd, though
frightened almost out of his wits, he
did not forpet any part of it, and,
what was better still, being a faithful
boy, he told 110 one except Mr. Mel
don. John Meldon hnd been pond to
the boy. and he was old enough to
know that Mr. Meldon's course of
true love was not running smoothly.
"An'. Mr. Meldon." nid the boy. in
concluding his marvelous tale, "Miss
Kitty didn't want to run away an'
pit married, but that major man said
as how it was the best way, nnd she'd
have to. She cried a bit, but she said
she'd do it and show some people
they couldn't lend her 'round by the
nose, or somethin' like thnt."
Mr. Meldon winced nt this, but
smiled faintly, and gave the boy a
five-dollar bill, with the admonition
to say nothing to anyone about what
he had heard. The five dollars was
not needed to fix the boy's loyalty,
but he put the money in his pocket
because he had other uses for it.
On the appointed night, with every
detail of the proposed elopement clear
before him as reported by the boy, Mr.
Meldon and two friends lay hidden in
the border of raspberry bushes not
far from Kitty's w indow. The sky was
overcast and the night very dark, but a
faint light shone from the window.
An hour after midnight a figure ap
peared under the window, a low whis
tle went upward and presently Kitty's
eyes peered down Into the darkness.
The major was there alone with a lad
der, w hich he placed in position for her
to step out upon.
"Throw down the money and the
jewelry," whispered the major, "and
wliile I take them around to the car
riage you get ready and I'll come back
for you."
Kitty dropped a couple of packages
out into the darkness, which the ma
jor found with a dark lantern, nnd
started off with toward the lane be
yond the garden. As he passed the
raspberry bushes two men suddenly
seized him, and before he could make
a.ny outcry he was gagged and his
hands were tied. The third man went
to the foot of the ladder and a low
whistle, as before, called Kitty to the
window. Bonneted and wrapped, she
came down the frail bidder and
dropped into the arms waitinpfor her,
was kissed encouragingly and hurried
away to the carriage.
I "Our driver is gone," whispered her
companion the two men who had
looked out for the major had not neg
lected the driver but that doesn't
mntter. "Hurry into the carriage and
I'll drive you around to the church,
where your own pastor is waiting to
marry us, darling," ond out of the
davkness came another kiss for Kitty,
who was so dazed by the excitement of
It all that she scarcely knew wliat was
happening. But as the carriage
whirled away noiselessly down the
soft road of the lane, she realized
vaguely that it was very thoughtful of
the mnjor to have her own pastor take
part in this romnntic marriage of hers.
On the driver's box sat three men and
two of them chuckled as if in triumph.
The man with the lines titrht in his
hands over the horses was silent as the
grave.
At the church the carriage stopped.
Tw o of the men went in by a side door,
and shortly after them came the third
with Kitty. There was scarcely lipht
enough to see one's hand before one's
face, but the cheery voice of Kitty's be
loved pastor seemed almost like a ray
of sunshine to her, and she heard only
, that during the brief ceremony which
followed. Even that was faint nnd In
distinct in words, but the sound of It
soothed her and seemed to fall as a
blessing upon this wild act of hers,
i which without it she did not believe
she could have carried to the final ac
complishment. Regret was coining to
rTitty, but willful people do not wait
upon regrets. She knew at last that
she was Mrs. Hunter; she heard the
minister's words which pronounced the
twain one flesh, and then came a little
prayer, and after it a hearty voice out
of the dimness of the chapel.
"My very best wishes," Mrs. Meldon,"
it said, and Kitty, as some one turned
the lights on full, saw John Meldon at
her side and near him her pastor and
her only brother. She could do noth
ing at all, nothing except to faint away,
which she did promptly.
When she regained cons-ciousness
she was at her own home again with
John Meldon and her mother smiling
down upon her. What had happened
she could not tell, but something that
made her cry and put out her hands,
not to her mother, but to John Mel
don. And the major? Well, af tr the cere
mony, when they went to find him in
the grass where they had left him,
they found only the handkerchiefs
with which he had been so hastily
gagged nd tied. The money and the
jewelry had gone with the major.
Since 1SU0 the pension disburse
ments have been more than a billion
and a half of dollars.
