Cinderella.
Ily Wnlti-r I-'rank.
Cinderella entered tha CastU
from the West Terraco with man)
m backward glance at the warm sun
hino and the flowers Mho waa leav-
lut. merely, as uhe thought, to go
and hear something unpleasant. Fof
that was UKiialiy tne ena oi a sura
mons to the library.
-Come and nit down, my dear,"
said 1-ady Fortallen as her step-
daugliter rnU-ro.l, "I've some veij
jnipoiumt news for you. It con
cerns all your future life."
"I'm quite satisfied"
"So you Bay now, but hear my
npws first. Someone actually waiti

"1 new 11 w" rpiuciuiuj uujjiwr i
ant " groaned Cinderella. All hei
,Hiff.ri.np had none now, and her
u u -. i
eyes were troubled.
I don't want to be mrarled," h
Id slowly. "I'd rather so much
rather stay here with the others and
lather and you."
Lady Portalleu shook her head
angrily, noticing the hesitation be
fore the last word.
"Your father wishes you to marry
Mr. Cradock," she began In her most
metallic tones.
A sudden flush spread over Cinder
ella's face and disappeared, leaving
her very white. "I can't marry
him." she whispered almost to her
sJf. "I don't now the man; I don't
like him enough."
i.n.lv Portallen leaned forward
suddenly toward the shrinking girl.
"It amounts to this," she said, "your
father has lost a great deal of money
lately, a very great deal. I don t
know what will happen, but yoa
have the chance of saving the family,
of smoothing the last few years of
your father's life. Mr. Cradock Is
very wealthy, and that wonderful
line of his, and he is prepared to
settle a large Bum upon you
Cinderella lifted her white iac
for a moment. "Whnt does my
father say?"
" I Imve told you before. 1I
m iehiw vnn to marrv Mr. Cradock. I
have explained to him that it would
be folly and worse to refuse.
"Then, ' said the girl miserably,
"for my father's sake I consent.
It anything could have reconciled
riiwl..rplla to her engagement to a I
mi'n she did not love, it wouul
have been the kindness of the ni:ui
himself.
Lady l'ortallen had admitted tj
him that her stepdaughter did moi
love hi.n yet. Our little Cinderella
(u vnrv vnime. Mr. Cradock, and tvia
boon so carefully brought up.
And John Cradock protested hi
wlllinirnoss to wait. "But I 11 wa't
for anv lngth of time or lose her al
together." he declared earnestly,
rather than have her inclinations
forced at all."
vnn nnlte startle me." said
Lady Portallen gayly. "It la onl
in the novols that mothers force their
daughters to marry desirable pari.es.
Our deer little Orace has decided iM-
tirely lor herself.'
Often in the later days he would
have glveu anything to have ciasp. a
her once lor an 10 ins Humi,
spoken tne worcia mat. ypruuft i"
lins and strained for utterance every
time he looked at her. But that
ould only have distressed.
All this time the manner of John
Cradock had not varied in the slight
est degree. But as time went on uud
the shackles of Winter loosened. an,i
the hedgerows burst Into a suddea
greenness again, ana me sap uffeuu
to stir in Hie leafless trees, causing
them to send out little green 'schoots,
the shadow of her dislike, born or
her forced engagemnt, feu awuv
from Cinderella like a Winter ar-
ment and she began to appreciate tha
character of her lover.
Or... T,,r.rni.r nhout thla time Lady
Portallen sent for Cinderella and
showed her a letter from Cradock
offering to release her from tho vrn
gagement. "It's not that any feel
ings towards Cinderella have chang
ed at all," he wrote, "but there has
been some disgraceful trickery in
eonnectlon with the new mine com
pany. The strange drying up oi
a
the mine will, of counw, put a stop
to my income from that source, lao
shares of the company are worth lit-
tie or nothing, and I have made over
the whole of my othv-r resources.
"That Is all," said Lady Portallen,
as she folded up tho letter.
"It la quite sufficient," replied Cin"
tferella hotly.
"I am glad you take tho setiriKjta
view, my dear. I never liked tho
lellow, for to say the least of it h
waa no gentleman. And now, as
though to make bad worse, he a t
oally throws away what little money
he has loft. The man la a fool.
"The man Is an honorable man
and a gentleman," said Cinderella
diiitinctly. "Tho letter alone Is suf'
ficlent to prove that."
"I shall write him to-day and re
lease him from -his -engagement,"
stormed Lady Portallen.
"He has written me also," said
Cinderella quietly, "and I have al
ready written back to say I will not
tennlnato the engagement.
"Quito melodramatic!" said Laly
l'ortallen coldly. "Positively, I
tlilnk you must be in love with him.
"Yes," said Cinderella, "I'm only
sirnld I can never love him aa much

Symbol of (lie Mnrltto (inllown
You will read In "The Cloister and
the Hear'h" of the gallows of whit
marble and fine workmanship that
stood over against the dukes palace
In Venice. It waa there as an ever
present warning to the people's chief
servant that if he was faithless to his
trust he would be hanged.
We are pleased to consider that
Inter period of the middle ages as
rude and simple. In Its familiarity
with all forms of coldly administered
death It would Justify this unthouglit
fill estimate. Yet even In that sinis
ter marble admonition of vengeance
there Is a certain symbol of good
faith, of high Ideals of public service
that shows strong In nny civilization
With all our Justly cherished pro
grr i we might wish for as fine i
sense of honor in our public steward
ships.
Let us claim at once thnt the basis
on which our public, service rests ts
far better than it was in even the
Uaan civic republics. There Is not
the caste of birth; there Is not now
the fatalistic classification of rank, a
least politically and while there was
In the period of the Renaissance a
reward for culture, learning, and arts
and craftsmanship, salll, today, e
heve a fairer field which many more
can enter. But when that claim I
made and allowed there waa a cer
tain Bomethlog in the old noblesse
oblige which has not yet permeated
democracy as U can and must some
day pervade it.
A burgomastor In a free Dutch or
German city, duke or magistrate In
an oligarchical Italian republic, even
a feudal lord In any country, exempli
fied a respect for the obligations Im
posed by his position that our experi
ence hai shown us is not so prevalent
now. Let us acanowieage mat, imu-ii
n a system of government, a frame-
work of society, which Is happily left
behind. Let us admire the civic vir
tue of those Venetians who "let no
man, not even their sovevrelgn. be 1
above the common weal." And let
use realize that, even In the great ad-vanc-f
In the social and political order
we have made sinoe that fifteenth
century of "The Cloister and the

fco longer nn animated Ilattery
But a ltrouctio Hunter HUM.
It Is quite trutj that the cowboy of
to-day Is not a college man, nor one
at all familiar with the manners
and customs of polite society, says
Out West. Neither does he go
about his daily task with a bra:e
of six shooters slung at hla hips and
a repeating rifle held In the crook
of his arm.
Barbed wire fences, steam rail
roads, police courts and penitentia
ries have rendered such apurte
nanccs auperflous. And Immediate
ly after pay day he does not swoop
down upon the nearest town, shoot
out the lights and take part In a
gun fight or two.
For the $30 or $40 a month which
ho receives a strict attention to the
Qiitles of his Job Is expected, and In
these dayu of strenuous competition
a Job is a precious thing The life
of the modern cowboy Is as full or
hard and monotonous work as that
oi an Eastern farmhand, and there
Is very little difference In the Intel
lectual and social standing of the
two.
Though thousands of cattle ure
grazed In the plains of the South
west, very few are shipped direct
from the range to the market. The
places of Individual cattle kings
have been taken by great stock
companies which own numerous
tracts of range land In various
parts of the West.
A few years ago a dry season In
southern Arizona meant the Ions of
many cattle and very frequently the
lir.anclal ruin of their owners. The
old timers will tell stories of having
walked for incredible distances on
the carensses of dead steers.
But all that Is past they do
things differently now. Let a dry
year come upon the Southwestern
ranges and the cattle are hustled
on board a train end transported to
the cattle companies' range In Colo
rado or Montana or Dakota, where
the season Is good and the feed
abundant.
No long drives of hundreds of
miles In search of new range as in
the old days. Simply a day or two
of rounding tip then a few hours
drive to the nearest shipping po'.nt
on the railroad. Then perhaps a
day In town for the cowboy and
back again to the home ranch and
the regular grind.
Thougn the cowboy is not a col
lege graduate, he is by no means an
Ignoramus. Usually he Is Ameri
can born and fairly well read, tak
ing the same' active Interest In cur
rent topics and politics mat other
American citizens do. As a general
rul'J he has been raised In the sec
tiou in which he la employed and Is
of youthful appearance. He dif
fers very little from the average
American working youth. Western
d:aloct ttorles to the contrary, not
withstanding. In :1 cowboy bunkhouses there Is
n p'lo of current magazines, the con
tents of which are devoured with
evld'.ty. And one la not Ir.tre
quently treated to tho amusing
spectacle of a youthful cowboy be
cum'p.g so enamored of the kind of
punchers pictured in modern fic
tion that he purchases a pair of ut
terly useless six shooters, commences
to walk with a swagger and to Imi
tate the dialect of Ited Saunders.
But If marksmanship la no longer
i.. qualification of the cowpuncher
l.orpe:uanf;hIp Is. The modern cat
tleman is as proud of his ability to
r'sJc anything on four legs as was
ever the broncho buster of bygone
d'.yg, and this Is the first fact Im
pressed upon a tenderfoot.
Kid Gloves From Rata.
In Paris there is a rat .ound. It
Is a deep walled it in which some
thousands of rata are Vept. A dead
Lorao is thrown Into the pit at night
and rats strip the caru-as of Its flesh.
Once a month there is a general
slaying of rats by gas. The rats
art sleek and plump and their bodies
ar- In excellent condlt'on. Their
skis are removed and treated and
eventually are made Into "kid"
