How
a Delayed Train Causad
Embarrassment
an
"I suppose," said Mrs. Martin, mis
ehifv.mslv, yon will be falling in love
with (.'iiiiMii Clarissa at first sight."
Siic was handm; IVrcy Carr his tea
ar. slu" sp.Ue, and smiliu at him ap
provingly. "I would find it easy to fall in love
with any relative of yours, Mrs. Mar
tin." "Ah. listen to his flattery:" she said,
appealing to the others jathered around
lu-r low, sparkling tea-table that par
ticular winter afternoon. "It is very
evident he is moditatiii an en treat j
for another cup of tea. liut, seriously,
she is not my cousin at all but my
husband's. I have never seen her."
"Anil -Mr. Martin is away just now,
isn't be? Poking, amwifr those dreary
Pittsburgh mines, as usual, I dare say,"
said llorton Miles.
"Yes, p.M.r darlinir," assented Mrs.
Martin. She knew that it was from
tliaise particularly jrloomy plaees tliat
her wealth eatne. ami that her husband
should make tx'casional visits of super
vision to them was to )e properly de-plM-ed.
"Is she youn;?" questioned Mrs.
Thurston.
She was a eharmincr widow whose
Wauty somehow sujrestfl that ol
a very fu!l-bl..wn rose. Her car
riage tT'.wn of violet cloth was trimmed
with void passementerie and fur. She
rather dreaded t:io advent of any new
ci imer who miiriit ' attract the languid
aitatitian of Percy Carr.
"I really know little alaout her. Yon
see. I never contemplated the rssibili
t v of her rcmciiilicrinr or rivoaj-iiizin?
our existcm-e by a visit. I think she is
vo-intr. I U-lieve she is pretty. I have
the -.11. uressioii she is cultured. I know
sue is wealthy."
'I hat liual statement will cover a
multitude of sins," mnrnuired Kalph
Souiiier. "II. iw Jonj must we pine
for a jriimpse of her face"."'
"Her note said s!e would arrive
V'eil!iesi:iy morinrz. You may all come
up t. dinner Weliies.lay evening, and
Ik- prt-nt sL"
Wtslni'silay dawned, stoel-skved,
e-tivty, stinaj-'mrrly cold. Mrs. Martin,
e.-i.iiitr out In-tween her velvet cur
Uiius. tlrew bai-U witli a little slaver.
"I wish." she said to herself, in ref
erence to Mr. Martin's cousin, "that
f-"ne had mentioned over what road and
at what hour she would arrive, and I'd
have the carriage meet her."
P.ut the day blustered on to noon, to
afternoon, toward evening, and still
Clarissa Murtiu did not put in an np
carance. I'rom feelin; absolute vex
ation. Mrs. Martin Wiran to rejrard the
situation with amusement.
"How disupjiointe.l tn y quests will lie
if she fails to materialize! I shall tell
them it is truly a version of 'Hamlet,'
with Hamlet left out."
At live o'clock the curtains were
drawn in the lreantiful. imposing home
of Philip Martin. Within electric
lights shone with white brilliance, and
ff'u'vs of burnished metal held beds of
n. bies. In the long1 amlier Jrawing
rixiin the quests assembled.
Six tinkled out from a hidden chx-k.
The chief article of Mrs. Martin's social
creed was th'it dinner should uot
be kept waiting. So. after privately
e-ivin directions to the footman and
housekeeper, she apologized for the ab-M-nce
of the expected guest, and led
the way t- the dining-room.
Put hardly was the soup-tureen un
covered 111 the dining-room, when the
tinkle of a liell in the kitchen an
nounced an arrival. The f .Hitman
opened the dtxir to a tall, stout young
woman with very red checks and sna;v
pirvT black eyes. She wore a plaid
dress, a plush coat, a hat with two
green parrots confronting each other
antagonistically, and a voluminous
veil of red gau.e.
"Is this Mrs. P. Martin's house?"
On lie'tng assured that it was. she
turned her head and shtiiled down the
sti'ps to the hackman:
"All right. lSring up that there
trunk."
"That there trunk" hftvintrbeen duly
brought up, the liackman paid, and the
housekeeper summoned, the newcomer
was informed of the message of her
hi st ess.
"If you please, miss, Mrs. Martin
says as she is having a few friends to
dinner, she will lie pleased if you dress
and conn down, if you do uot feel too
fatigneiL"
"Mercy, no! I ain't tired. I'll le
ready in a jilTy."
The trunk was carried to the lux
urious room prepared for Mr. Martin s
cousin, and from its depths the visitor
quickly drew her most festal attire.
"There!" she exclaimed, as she re
garded her completed toilet in the
mirror, "tony as they le, judging by
the house, I guess this'll fetch them!"
She was not mistaken. She created
a sensation when the entered the dining-room.
Mrs. Martin and her guests
glanced up as the dixr opcne-L to lie
hold a buxom woman of t hirty-two or
three, clad in a gown faf bine, bright,
slea.y silk, elaliorately trimmed with
fe.il Ic of the variety known as blonde.
.Mrs. Martin, in one swift glance,
took in the latest guest, from her
friz.le.l hair to her red hands aud
clumsy shoes. She felt a little faint as
she rose to meet her. She held out her
slender fingers.
"You did not mention the train. r
1 should Lave seat the carriage," r ..e
api ilogized.
Oh, law! that didn't matter!" de
clared the other, giving her an ex
plosive kiss, "'lhis ain't such a big
tow n but it was ea.-y to find my way.
I ju.st t-.lil a hackman to drive uie to P.
Martin's, and here 1 am!"
There fehe tvas, indeed, and very
much of her. Acutely conscious of
the demure laughter in Percy Carr's j
dark eyes, Mrs. Martin hen ieally !
made known her husband's cousin to
her guests.
Miss Martin insistel on going around
the table to 6hake hands with each
one.
"And now," decided that frank
young person, "I'll eat some dinner. I
didn't have but two lionght ham sand
wiches on the train, and see me 1 like
they was all sandwich and no ha.n."
If, while the meal progres.se J, her
manner was not all that might have
been expected in Mr. Martin's cousin,
her appeciation of the viands was evi
denced in word and deed. It was a re
lief to Mrs. Martin when they al" rose
and went into the drawing-room. Hut
here fresh agonies awaited her; f .r the
visitor, on being requested by Frank
Summers to sing, promptly seated her
self at the piano, and. to a n-ighty
pedal accompaniment, poured her soul
into the rollicking strains of Sunday
Sight Vn'hen the Parlor's I'ulL"
"Oh, thank you!" said Maud Hamil
ton, suavely. "I never heaid that
song liefore."
Tnere was a ghastly silence.
"Oil, that's nothing," averred Miss
Martin. "I know lots as gooil. Yc
have an organ at our house, anal me
and thej-oung man I kep'comp'ny with
last winter used Vc sing all the time
'most. I'll sin; yuu his favorite iow!"
And sne tittered as she swung a.'ound
to the key 1 nard.
Mrs. .Martin had grown white under
the strain. She could not endure this
much longer not even for Philip's
sake. Put even as she cast desjierateiy
around for some possible means of re
lease the portieres. were thrust wide,
"Miss Clarissa Martin!" announced
the footman.
Into the rinun came a slender, ele
gant figure, richly and sedately
gowned in dark cloth and lur. A small,
dainty bonnet rested on a head of
softly-waved, g. il.i.-n hair. A hand,
la Miking as if carved out of marble, w as

THE l'JHNCE'S CHOICE
His Experiences With Fathci
Time's Tbroe Daughters.
Far away in tha- gray country, in his
gray, windy castle', live-d lather Time
with his thre'o daughters. Past, Present
and Future.
Past and Future were so Wauti'ul
that it dazzled the eyes to look at
them; but Present was made to work
all day ia the- kite-hen, and her hands
and face were dusty with ashes.
One day a prince came riding up to
the casth-, sa-eking one of Father
Tiiue-'s daughters far a wife. So a
gra-at feast was pra-pared for him. and
Pa--t and Future sat, the one am the
Prince's right hand, the other on his
left; but Present, who haal cooked the
feast and spread the table, wailed em
them all; and the prince paid no heed
ti her.
"And now," said Father Time, after
the feast was ended, "which of 1.13'
ilaughtcrs w ill you choose for a wife?"
Tin prince lookasl at Future anal he
looked at Past, and it seemed to him
that Future was the more Wautiful if
tin- two.
"And what," said he to her. "can
you do that is worthy of a prince's
wife?"
"1 can make Wautiful clothes," said
Future, "lit for a king to wear, and I
make them out af nothing at ail."
"Then," said the prince, "if you will
make me sua-h a suit ai clothes Wf.n-e
morning, I will taka you for my qtu-a-n
taj bve with me all my life,"
So that night while the prince slept
Future mtide royal clothes out a,f
nothiieg at all, and in the morning the
suit was done. It was made of silk
that, shone a different ca.lor for every
way that it was turned, and crusted so
thick with precious st'itia-s that nni
con hi hardly see the cloth Wneath
ttie'tii.
"Yes." said the prince; "that is in
.lee.l a suit of clothes fit for a king to
wear." Then he- lifted Future upon
the- horse in front of him. and thoy
rode away from Father Time's a-astlc
toward the prin'.-a"s kingdom in tha-c-ast;
but the way was long, and the
sun shone holte-r an. I hotter, and the
jewele-d cloiha-s weighed he-avicr nnd
heavier until the swe-at rolled down
tlx prince's face. At last, jur.t as night
was falling, they reached a jreat city
where the prince thought tai rest for
awhile; but when 1 hoy rode into the
streets, the people Wgan to shout and
point. "Look look:'' they cried. "See
tha- Wggaram hau-sa-back!"
The prine-e l.oked downward at his
clotha-s, and then ho saw the false ;.-.-e-ls
haal melted in the sun as though
they were drops tif tallow, and the tne
clothes were so spotted and smeared
that they were hardly lit f.r a beggar
to w ear.
The prince was so ashama-d that,
tire-d and hungry as he was. he turned
his horse's head and never stopped un
til he was back in Father Time's castle
again. "For," said he, "one who makes
clothes that fall into rags with one
alay's journey is no wife for me."
Hut there in Father Time's a-asth an
other feast was served for the prince
even finer than the- first haal been, and
again Pre-seut waiteel tqiain the table.
Then the prince turnea! to Past. "Anal
w hat." said he, "can yam do that is
worthy of a prince's wife?"
"I can sing such W-autiful songs,"
said Pas'-, "tlnet he who listens to
them w ill fee-1 ue-ither a-oid nor weari
ness nor hunger, but think only of what
I sing."
"Then," said the prince, "I would
rather have you for a wife than Future;
for it is Wtter to sing such sengs as
that than even to make beautiful
clothes out of nothing at ail."
So the next morning he calle-d for
his horse, ami he and Past rode away
off into the world together, ltut when
the sun Wat down like fire uj,am his
head he began Ui grow sick and weary,
and then he askeal Past to sing to hitn.
Past laid her upon his shoulder and W
gan to sing, anal her song w:is so swe-e-t
that the prince forgot everything else.
He airoppcd his rein on his horse's ne-ck
and left it to pick its own way, and
whither it went he neither thought nor
carcaL
Hut even Past cannot sing forever.
After awhile she stopped, and the'
prine'e Wgan to look al-out him again.
Then he found they were in adecp black
ch!isiu;.he could not tell how- they had
come there nor could he te-11 how to ge-t
out again, for ewrj-where there Were
great rocks and stones and a-litfs upon
either hand, and it was growing darker
and darker.
Then the prince cried: ".Sing, sing
again. Past, sing us out of this black
chasm," but that Past could not alo;
she only wept and wrung lia-r hands
anal Wgged to W taken home. Then
again the prince' looked around upon
all shies, but he could find no csoaiie-,
and he and Past might have died in the
black chasm had be not heard Pre-sa-nt
calling the cows home far away. The
prince followoal the sound of the voie'O,
and before long he raw a path opi'ii W
fore him, anal there sto.nl Father Time's
great gray a-astle, and as soon as they
had reached it the prina-e lifted Past
down. "Never aga'U," said he. "shall
you sing uie into such a black chasm as
that."
Then once more, for the third time,
the prince sat down to supper. "Tell
me," said he to Father Time, "have
you no othe-r alaughter than the'se
two?"
"Yes," said Fathe-r Time. "I still
have one daughter, anal 'tit. she who
has caxiked the fa-ast and waiteil npon
you." Then he called Present up from
he kitchen; she was dressvd in her
.ster"s cast ciT clothes, and her hands
we-re red and rough with work.
Then said the prince: "What can
you do that is worth j of a prince's
wife'"
"Not much," said Present "I can
cook and ke-op the house clean, and I
can spin."
"That is not much for a prince's wi'e
to alo," said he; "but Wtter these than
ta bring one to shame er to sing one's
thoughts away."
So the next morning the prince took
Present upon his horse, and ttiey rode
away without turning back until thay
came to his own kingdom.
15.it the- prince had Wen away so long
that his own people no longer knew
him. and the i!d king had died and the
false minister had seized the kingdom.
Sai nothing was left fin- the true prince,
but to serve as goaise herd.. Lva-ry day
the prince drove the. geese out in the
meadow, but Pre-seut stayed Whind in
the gax.se' hcral's hut and eookad his
dinner and made the house neat All
she aska'al aif the prince was that, as ha
followed the ga-ese, he should gather 11
the feathers that fell from them and
bring the-m home to her.
The prince was willing enough to alo
that, f.ir he haal nothing else tai do all
day long but tonal tha- gee- -.nil watch
the clouds lloating in the sky; sn i-verv
day he brought her liomi- a hmiful of
feathers. These Present kept, nnd at
night, while tha' prine-e was asleep, she
trosa nnd wr.rkeal in the moonlight until
at the cnal of a ya-ar anal a day she had
niiiilo for herself a pair of gn at grav
wings.
Thi'ii at night, when the prim-e was

the gra-at gray wings and fusta-nel

door "very softly, and, spreading the

"What is that to us?" said Pn-sent;
"you haal much Wtter s;t down and cut

Again Present taiok out the wings

she brought back with ha-r the false

The next evening when the prince
came home he sai.l: "The t hia-ves w ere

it is not only the royal roues but the
golden crown that is gone."
"What is that to us?" said Present;
"come and oat your supper while it is

the table, and, after he had eatc 1, he
threw nimself ujioii the Wd and fell
again into a aloi p sleep.
Now, for tha third time. Pre: en t tit

king's palace; aud this time it was tho
royal scepter itsa-): that she took.
When Present reached the goosa

breaking. She hid the scepter in the
claiset with the royal roWs ami the
crown, and then she woke the princa
and hade him e'ome 1o bra-akfast-

rose from the table. "And now," sai.l
she, "the time has e-onie for 3-011 logo

"Hut how can I do that?" sa.l the
prine- "No one would know me, and

"These were once mine," said hi',
'and neva-r dial I think lo wear them

"They came neither by land nor sa-a;
but as tha-3- once were yours so are

The prince clothed himsa-lf in the
ren-al robes and t he-re he stood as
stately- and noble' as any bird. "Hut
how shall the jx'a pie know that 1 am
indeed a prina-e." said he, "when 1

Then Pre-scnt brought forth the
golden crown from the cupl-oard where
it lay hidden, and placed it uiv.u Ids

"ltut," salal be, "how can a king gov

Then Present brought forth the
royal scepter and plaa-ed it in his- hand,
and now at last he looked the king ho

"And now ceune," said Present, "and
together we will go up lo claim the
