HER OPPORIUMTY.
. ICK, what chance have I for suc
Icess? What opportunity to do
one brave thing?' The girl spoke
without a tone of resentment In her
voice. The young man, whose name
was upon the llpa of every one in his
city aa the rising young lawyer of
Iowa, looked down at her.
"One never knows the coming oppor
tunity until It presents Itself. To each
one of us there comes a chance for sue
cess. But no preaching to-night. This
la Florida, and a Florida sunset Is an
Inspiration in itself."
But Virginia was not satisfied. Thi

black crutches.
i "What can I ever do?" the girl asked,
anxiously. "Fata has decreed that I
hall spend my life half helpless. 1
can't walk a step, Dick, without these
crutches of mine. It's Just as if I had
a millstone hung around my shoul
der." Dick Fairfield waa rarely at a loss
for a ready reply. He looked out ai
the sea so vast and imperious, and be
thought of how the lame girl at his side
had come Into hla life.
"Ton are doing much, Virginia," ha
answered, after'a moment "You are

The orchestra was playing in the long
ballroom. It was one of the stirring
marches that a great bandmaster had
given aa his tribute to his fellow men
and women. It had been dedicated to
the national colors, and the swinging
cadences and clear rhythm told of th
waving flag of the free. Dick Falafield
thought of what It had meant lis
keard It aa a marching chorus, and h
pad but to close his eyes again to aee
the long flies of dust-covered men who
had left the dock In front of the hotel
twelve months ago to fight beneath Its
folds. He saw It carried and waving
before the trenches In the swamp
where disease, the deadliest form of
hidden foe, was lurking. He thought
of bis own town In the west; how,
when at the convention which had
Dominated him for mayor, the local fir
department band played the song ol
the flag and every single man In the
rink had risen and shouted wildly.
These easterners were content to crifr
IciM. They wondered why the hotel
bandmaster didn't get new selections.
New selections? Why, a march song
like that had no age; It was superior to
time Itself. He had little use for these
astern men and women. They wer
too languid, too contented.
"I doubt If your thoughts are worth
the fixed price," said a voice at his side.
"Won't you give them to me?"
And Dick realized that It was a man's
occasional privilege to change his mind.
For Virginia Howper was another kind
of easterner. During the ten daya bt
bad already spent of his fortnight'!
vacation the girl had come to mean
more to him each day. Her restless
spirit her ambition to succeed, h
thought a wonderful contrast to the
splendidly built eastern women, who
preferred to let others talk and think
and act for them.
"I should have been thinking of you,
Virginia," he finally answered.
"TliegTfT "looked him full In the face,
and read the truth In a moment with
the God-given Intuition of her aex.
"There goes your dance with MIsa
Clark," ahe broke In. "Yon must not
keep her waiting."
"But I can't leave yon, Virginia, all
alone here."
"Please do. Then come back to me
after the number. I want to be alone
for awhile."
And Fairfield reluctantly left her sit
ting on the farthest corner of the broad
piazza, which had been made gay for
the party by long festoons of colored
paper and a multitude of candles In
fantastic paper cases. Virginia sat In
a brown study. The bandmaster, with
an Ingenuity nearly akin to sacrilege
had made the Intermezzo from "Caval
lerla Rustlcana" Into a waltz. The girl
knew that the music told of a man's1
love for a woman, of the great Joy that
had come into her own life.
A solitary breath of wind stirred th)
festoons along the front of the piazza.
The coasting sailors knew a storm was
brewing. A sharper breath of wind
came and swung toe festoons near
where Virginia sat The candle In one

The girl saw the necMant. In a
ond she realized the danger to the graal
hotel. Its wooden frame aa dry aa tin
der. Virginia saw the peril of the hnn
dreda of men and women It held. Thei
she realized her own helplessness. Diet
bad taken her crutches and placet
them In a corner of the building beyork
her reach. While she thought with th
f nil rapidity of her active mind the fin
spread to the festoons. Then she con
ceived her plan.
In a second she was upon her knees
She half -crawled across the piazza asm
until her outstretched hand could read
her cratches. She slipped them tmdei
her shoulders snd swung back across
the piazza. Not a soul was near to hebj
her, and her quick Instinct told the girl
that a scream would create a panic is
the crowded ballroom. The lire danced
along the paper festoon.
How. ahe ever did It she could nevei
afterward tell, but It seemed a dlvlm
strength aided her strong arms as sh
climbed upon the piazza ralL With on
arm grasping the pillar for support, six
stretched the other toward the biasing
decorations. She thought she caught
the sound of hurried footsteps along
the plazzl. She could not reach the fes
toon by several Inches. In a moment
the dry dead vine along the eavei
would be ablaze and It would be to
late. But Virginia bad kept her head.
She coolly reached down, and, grasping
one of her crutches by the arm rest;
stretched It up and twisted It In tht
blazing paper decoration. A sharp,
quick pull something broke, and In i
moment the whole, biasing mass lay
burning It out In the grass far from
harm.
She turned and saw Dick standing
beside her. He gravely helped hei
down and carried her to a chair.
"Your opportunity came quicker thai
we ex pec tea. xon am a very brav
and a very gallant thing." She heard
Dick's voice speaking In her ear, and
she turned and gave him her hand
without saying a word.
It is needless to tell what followed.
Virginia Howper found her popularity
had swept Into fame. People called
her the heroine of the hotel, and new
a rivals begged to be presented. Bun-
day' newspapers sent for her photo
graphs, and the talea of her achieve
ment went far and wide. Virginia
laughed at it and took it most good-
naturedly. To her the praise of a cer
tain westerner was Infinitely more de
sirable than the entire loud-voiced
plaudits of the eastern contingent of
the hotel.
Richard Fairfield returned to Cor
dona, Iowa, after hla fortnight's rest
In the south. To certain of hla friends
he gave confidences. He hinted very
vaguely of a general dislike for the
easterners be had met at the Florida
resort He described them vigorously
as cold-blooded and disagreeable. Then
he would lower his voice and hint that
there was one exception to the rule
Two months later when he returned
from a flying trip to Baltimore that
seemed strangely suspicious In vies
of his previous opinions, he gave mors
confidences. This time he allowed thai
he would make no exceptions In tb4
future. The only exception In the east

History of tbe Marseillaise.
Rouget de I'ls'.e's share In this fa
mous song amounts to the first sis
strophes. He did not write a single
note of the music, though he lacked th
courage to avow the truth. The musk
was composed by Alexandre Boucher
a celebrated violinist in the year 1790
In the drawing-room of Madame d
Mortaigne, at tbe request of a colone
whom he bad never met before, ani
whom he never saw again. Rouget di
1'Isle was an officer In the Engineers
and was for well-known reasons im
prisoned In 1791. It was from thli
prison that he beard the stirring march
and at tbe request of his Jailer ht
adapted to the tune the words of a
patriotic song he waa then writing.
Some time after the Marseillaise had
won fame for the young officer he met
Alexandre Boucher at a dinner party
In Paris. Tbe violinist congratulated
the young patriot on the success of Jila
poem, laying stress on the word poem.
"You don't say a word about the
music," remarked de 1'Isle, and then,
in a moment of unwonted candor, he
admitted that tbe music waa not hit
own composition. Boucher thereupon
modestly Informed De risle that the
celebrated march was his composition
They embraced each other fondly, aa
only Frenchman can. When De 1'Isla
recovered from the shock he naively
remarked, "Tour music and my words
go so well together that they seem to
have sprung simultaneously from the j
ianie brain, and tbe world, even If I j
proclaimed my Indebtedness to yon,
would never believe It" j

When Bobby learns to whistle
There's music in the air;
Tou hear his notes diffusing.
Here, yon and everywhere.
He whistles in the morning
Before he's out of bed:
He whistles all the day long.
And in his sleep, 'tis said.
Of tunes Bob knows not many
In fact, he knows not one;
But just to whistle, whistle.
To him's sufficient fun;
And tunes are but restrictions
Are paths one's muse to lead.
And Bobby is a rover
In Wbistledom. indeed.
When Bobby learns to whistle
His mamma's nearly wild.
She says in all her born days
She ne'er saw such a child.
And grandmamma gets nervous
And says: "Oh. me! Oh. my!
That child will drive me crazy;
I feel that I could Ayr
Why, even at the table.
He'll panse and try his skill.
And through his puckered lips he
Emits notes sharp and shrill.
His father cries out "Robert!"
And Bobby then will cease.
And for the next ten minutes
Perhaps he'll hold his peace.
When Bobby learns to whistle
There's one thing that's made clear
That is, whate'er his heart's in.
In that he'll persevere.
And so, although distracted
Almost by all the noise.
We smile and say benignly:

The Dead Bird.
Once on a time two fairies flew out
of fairyland and took a walk on th
earth. Their names were Fairy Pearl
and Fairy Prince. They saw many
things in tbe world that pleased them,
and gome that made them sad. One ol
tbe sad things was the sight of a pool
little bird lying cold and dead by th
roadside.
Poor Dicky r said Fairy Pearl, wlth'hged boy Uvea who im not glad In his
tears in her eyes. "I wonder what
made you die? How sad to think you
never will sing again."
Let us take the poor birdie away
with us," said Fairy Prince. "Perhaps
fairyland he will come to life
gain."
Now, the fairies were tiny beings.
and the dead bird waa quite heavy for
them to carry. But fairies know how
to make themselves strong. They pick
ed a blossom that grew In the wayside
grass, and powdered themselves with
the yellow dust they found Inside it.
Then they were strong enough to lift
Oielr burden quite easily, aud to fly
1 way with it like the wind.
Soon they were in fairyland again.
4nd behold! as soon as they had passed
Jnough tbe fairy gates the dead bird
itlrrcd his wings and opened his eyes,
tnd flying to the top of a fairy tree,
tang the most beautiful song that ever
was beard.
Perhaps that la what becomes of all
the birdies who die! Who knows?

Ralph Waldo Emerson, In his essay

leard the family talking their native
anguage, which he could not under

Emerson used to walk to and from
tchool with the little fellow.
But one day he decided that the child

and told blm that he must return aaOon.
After school was dismissed Waldo
walked manfully toward home until he
had nearly reached the French house.
Then he stopped, and, leaning against
the fence, began to whimper. Miss
Elizabeth Hoar, a neighbor, saw him
snd went to his rescue. "Come, Waldo,
I'm going your way and yon can walk
with me," said she.
The child looked up tearfully into her
eyes a moment' and then said In the
most doleful voice: "I don't think that
was what my father meant for me to
do." Then he trudged on by himself.
In such ways boys snd girls
prove their heroism in tbe little duties
of life.
Trading Mica and Their Odd Wsjs,
During our winter daya the wild crea
tures of the woods and fields and wa
tery places of Florida enjoy sunshine!
and balmy weather, and there are many
queer animals among them, some of.
which are not found In the North. One,
of the most curious of these native in
habitants of the "flowerland" Is the
''trading mouse." This little creature
derives Its name from Its peculiar habit
of carrying things a way and always
leaving something In exchange. It !n
habits houses and tbe woods, and there
Is nothing that It can handle which It
will not try to carry off. If It succeeds
It will leave what It evidently thinks
Is a fair equivalent Frequently a trad
ing mouse will carry away a quantity
of beans, for instance, and will leave a
pile of weed seeds that it has gathered
in tbe meadow. The object of the mouse
seems to be to put something In place
of the stolen articles In order that the
latter may not be missed. It haa been
known to steal Jewelry and to leave
small bits of wood or weed stalks where
the Jewelry had been. Tbe trading mice
are similar In appearance to our com
mon mice and, like them, prefer te
travel about In darkness.

REPAIRING "BLOODY TOWER"
1 to Ieadoa's Aadeat
a ataaactved.
That venerable part of the Tower of
London known as the "Bloody Tower"
Is undergoing considerable repairs at
the hands of the masons, says the Lon
don News. The npper portion of It,
which faces Traitor's gate, has been
refaced In parts, pointed and colored
to resemble age. Tbe building Is to be
restored all around. Chalk, In large
blocks, enters largely into the compo
sition of the inner parts of tbe walls,
and Is declared by the masons to be ss
hard, if not harder, than ever it was.
Some parts of the wall by the Tower
are fourteen feet thick.
The greater part of the outer surface
of the Bloody tower, like that of the
Bell tower and some others, has since
the year 1S32 been plastered over at va
rioua times with Roman cement into
which shallow portions of flint have
been superficially Imbedded. Tbls-was
In rough imitation of the old solid flint
work of ancient times, which actually
formed parts of walls, -and is seen in
perfection In St Savior's, Southwark,

became dangerous through Its rotten

waa all removed. The lower portion of
tbe Tower, built of square block of
ashlar stone, has had a lot of auperfla

but that is unavoidable, and may in a
measure yet be remedied.
Restorations and repairs have often
been carelessly- done in much earlier
years. For Instance, the doorway thai
led from Raleigh's walk directly to the
room hi the Bloody tower. In which tbe
Infant princes were supposed to have
been murdered, had been bricked up
from the Inside to give support to s
portion of tbe Tower. This has all been
removed and tbe Tower strengthened

It was through this doorway that Dlgh

passed to their fearful work. Raleigh,
Cranmer and Ridley have certainly
passed through it when prisoners here
in the Tower, and Cranmer often, when
he dally took his dinner with the lieu
tenant of the fortress. So say the
authorities. Portions of the old houses
which are to be seen above that pari
