HELEN OF TROY
By ROYAL
fr'red Krickson was heart-keen to the
fact that ho loved the girl, but, as yet,
fce bad said nothing to her about It.
In fact tie had never spoken to ber.
They were not acquainted with each
other.
It was what Is called love at first
eight that la, as far as Fred was
concerned. The first time he saw ber
she was sitting opposite him on a
belt line car going from Albany tc
Troy, and his susceptible heart had
gone pit-a-pat. Chance thrust them
together often aftvr that, but without
an opportunity to become acquainted.
Krlckson, a young lawyer located In
Albany, should have been giving his
whole attention to the theories of a
practice that was yet to come. In
stead, he dreamed the long ofllce
hours through, and all his dreams
were of the fair unknown.
This fascinating girl was. In points
of beauty, a maid to inurvel at. Her
eyes were dusky wells of midnight
with long, dark lashes that half hid
the depths of them, and the black of
these contrasted strangely with the
white of her satiny skin. All In all,
the was, from ber daintily arranged
hair to the tips of her tiny shoes, the
nweetest girl creation that bad ever
come to the ken of Fred Erlckson. He
longed to meet ber.
Here romance stepped In.
If Helen Landen this was ber name
bad ever cast a calculating eye over
the tall, serlouB faced youth who ap
peared so frequently to her, she did
so without due knowledge of what
Fates had In store.
Rlngton's circus, a mighty army of
tents, opened In Albany to play two
dates, afternoon and evening, with all
the pomp and ceremony of that digni
fied Institution. Erlckson attended the
evening performance. Spangled per
formers crowded the three rings In
marvelous act after act. An army of
clowns capered to queer pranks, and,
as always, the circus was a pulsating
success a gaudy, glittering success
After the concert, Erlckson and a
friend found themselves leisurely
strolling through the menagerie tent.
A mighty elephant, almost the peer of
the famous Jumbo In size, Interested
"Oh, What a Great Beast."
them. Its crafty eyes were sparkling
with Intelligence. Its culm, calculat
ing survey of the curlouB oues who
gathered to do it honor, was majestic,
regal. Its swaying trunk, vltaily rest
less, rnlsed Itself above them occa
sionally as if delivering a benlsou.
A tinkling cadence of girlish laugh
ter from behind the youth again
caused the erratic heart vibrations lu
bis breast, responsive to only one
maid, and Erlckson turned. His face
flushed as he gazed at ber. She was
with an elderly person evidently her
father. Her nearness caused the
youth to fenr for himself. It seemed
to him that he must turn and crush
ber in his arms.
"O, what a great beast!" The girl
turntd to ber father. "I wonder If she
Is cross?"
The elderly person looked Inquiring
ly toward a keeper who stood at some
little distance.
"Not at all," answered the attend
ant. "Mildest mannered animal in
captivity, and the largest. Bess here
knows mor'n some folks, si e does."
The girl stepped daintily forward, a
smile curving her red lips, and the
pert little nose of hers wrinkled In
amusement.
"I'm going to feed her." she said.
The elephant graciously accepted an
absurdly small bon bon, and seemed
to wink a knowing eye at Erlckson,
who glared enviously.
"The tiger Is out!"' A hoarse voice
raised the cry and In an instant the
tent was mob mad. Women screamed
und fainted. Children walled and
men cursed. To add to the pandemon
Never Noticed It Before
New Yorker Finds Something That Is
New to Him While Showing Hit
Kinsman the City.
A New Yorker was showing his far
western kinsman some sights. The
kinsman saw tbe Worth monument.
That is about tbe last mark a New
Yorker ever points out for It has been
there so long that the New Yorker
takes It for granted that everybody
has seen it. The out-of-town man In
this Instance was Interested In tbe
weather-bureau column and read every
cutting and lettering. Then he ex
amined the iron fence that protects
the pile from danger.
"This Is not an ordinary Iron fence.
Is U?" asked the klusman.
The city man replied mechanically
that be guessed It was the usual type.
"You are mlstuken," was the re
Joinder. "These are not ordinary rail
ings. Each one represents a sword,
supposed to bo a type of the sword
carried by General Worth. At least I

ium, the gasoline lights flickered des
perately In the wind created by the
panic-stricken crowd and went out.
A feline scream rose above the noise,
and an animal chorus quickly respond
ed. Elephants trumpeted. Lions roared
The camels lifted their voices in un
canny shrieks, and excitement was the
order of the moment.
Erlckson, stricken dumb, suddenly
recovered himself and reached out
blind arms for the girl. His first
thoughts we're of her. She must be
rescued at all hazards.
Just as his sal lulled hands came In
contact with her. a velvety something
brushed curiously across his face, and
then suddenly dropped to his waist
their waists and the two were lifted
high In the air to bo placed gently on
the back of the elephant.
The girl gave a frightened half
scream, and her little hands convul
sively clutched the arm of her com
panion. "What-wha-what Is it?" she gasped.
Erlckson thrilled at her touch.
"Don't be frightened." he said. "The
big elephant dob picked us up, and. for
some reason, placed us on ber back.
Just at present, it Is the safest place
In the tent. We are out of the strug
gling crowd, and away from tbe tiger.
Hello! What's happening?"
The elephant was beginning to move.
Slowly, cumbersomely, like the heavy
body that it was, the great mass of
flesh began to get under way, and In a
moment the two upon the beast's back
found themselves under the starry
sky. Save for a skurrylng circus man,
here and there, the stretch of green
about the tents was deserted.
The girl still kept tight hold of the
exultant youth, although tbe broad
bnck and gentle motion of tbe now
rapidly moving Bess were not calcu
lated to precipitate a fall.
"O, I I am so frightened," gasped
the damsel. Her hands convulsively
gripped the youth's arm. Erlckson was
not frightened. He was hilariously
i happy.
From behind them came hoarse
shouts, and the elephant, hearing,
quickened his pace. Had Erlckson
been a solitary rider, he would have
slid to the ground, but now he was
pleasantly Impressed with tbe sense of
guardianship.
"Keep up your nerve," came from
the young attorney. "The elephant Is
running away with us, but be is not
dangerous. We are safe enough. The
keepers and circus men are trying to
catch us."
Suddenly the beast plunged off the
moon-lit road and Into a lane, slowing
up and stopping as It came to a tall
tree. The sensitive trunk cautiously
rose to investigate tbe lower branches,
and then, with a despairing squeal, a
long-tailed spider monkey was brought
from a sheltering clump of leaves, and
passed carefully back and into tbe
very hands of Erlckson.
The lawyer laughed.
"O, how sweet," ventured the girl,
her fear suddenly gone. "And how do
you suppose the elephant knew be was
in this tree?"
"I'm sure I don't know. It seems to
have been her sole errand for she is
now going back."
Sure enough, the great beast was
now retracing her footsteps.
In a few minutes she had come to
the pack that had been following her.
With the sang frold of a calculating
human, the animal reached a careful
trunk around and placed her passen
gers, one at a time, on the ground.
Then the same lrnpressable organ re
lieved Erlckson of his chattering
charge, .and without waiting for ber
escort the elephant ambled on, turning
a quizzical eye to her lute riders as
she did so.
It developed that the tiger was still
a captive. The panic had been started
by some mischief maker, but the rush
ing, scrambling crowd had alurmetl
the animals, and the monkey cage had
been overturned by the crazy exit of
the masses. The little simian rescued
by the big pachyderm had been an es
pecial pet of the trainer having Hess
In charge. How she knew the monkey
was hidden In the tree, no one knew.
"Well," said the girl, flushing as she
turned to Erlckson. "I am sure that I
shall never care to see another circus."
"I shall always have a friendly feel
ing for them," answered the youth
menntngly, and the flush on the girl's
cheeks deepened to an alarming red.
"Inasmuch as It will be useless to
attempt to find your escort, 1 must in

People Living Near Margate

Vigorous Protest Made Against Hide

Birds, Which Foil Efforts
to Catch Them.
London. Do you know bow to catch
peacocks? If you do Margate's park
officials will be glud to hear from you.
For they, the head gardener, the
chief park keeper and the various as
sistants of Dane park, have been or
dered by tbe town council to catch
peacocks.
The situation It a trying one. For
years Dane park has had its peacocks
They have strutted about proudly and
spread their tails with glorious van
ity, and Margate hat been almost as
proud of them at they bave been of
themselves.
But recently a number of people
living near the park have taken a dis

say, have made night hideous and ear
ly morning Impossible by their cries.
The neighboring residents could nei
ther go to sleep nor keep asleep.
So they wrote to the papers and
sent a petition to the town council
complaining about tbe peacocks. Tbe
matter cume before the parks com
mittee and then before the whole coun
cil, and the result is that the peacocks
have got to go.
That, at any rate, Is the decree of
the council. But the birds have their
views. They Btrongly object to their
proposed ejectment.
Two of them, It Is true, did unwarily
allow tliree of the purk officials to sur
prise them and capture them in a lawn
tennis net very early the other morn
ing, but the remaining four peacocks
and three peahens have so far suc
cessfully evaded all attempts made
to take them. Every day three deter

NOW COMES "GOO GOO" GNAT
Successor to Kissing Bug Makes Its
Appearance in Philadelphia, Sting
ing Victimt on Eyelidt.
Philadelphia. Although the "kiss
ing bug" is now regarded as defunct,
a new pest has taken its painful place
in tbe form of an insect which has
been named the "goo-goo gnat" pend
ing more scientific classification. The
"goo-goo gnat" attacks the eyelids of
Its victims, who may or may not be
ogling some pretty girl when they are
stung.
The latest victim Is Charles Lehr
of Fifth street. He was standing at
Broud street and Girard avenue when
he felt an Insect alight on his eyelid.
He tried to brush it away, but it held
fast. He renewed his efforts so for
cibly that part of the Insect's sting re
mained attached to tho eyelid.
Sharp pains accompanied the attack
and Lehr hurried to St. Joseph's hos
pital. The wound swelled until a
lump the size of a walnut developed.
Physicians treated the wound success
fully, but it was attended by severe
irritation.
The "goo-goo gnat" has confined its
field thus fur to the northwestern sec

been treated at St. Joseph's hospital

Nebuchadnezzar was a great gen
eral In 005, In his first selge of Jeru
salem, and became sole emperor B. C.
604. He made Babylon glorious dur
ing his reign of 43 years. He wus In
his 18th yeur when he began this
siege.
Jerusalem was ut this time a city
of 20,000 Inhabitants. Against the
huge engines of Asiutlc warfare the
besieged citizens constructed counter
engines; and the struggle was worthy
of the occasion a combat or duel not
only of courage, but of skill and Intel
ligence, between Babylon and Jeru
salem. Houses were demolished, that
new wallB might be built of their ma
terials, Inside each spot weakened by
the battering-rams.
The ramparts were vigorously de
fended by archers and sllngers, equal
In bravery to those of the Chaldeans.
The rams were caught, when possible,
by doubled cjialns or ropes to weaken
their blows, or, if It might be, to cap
size them. Lighted torches and fire
brands were thrown on their roofs
and on those of tbe catapults, to set
them on Are. The gutes of the town
were zealously defended against the
efforts of the enemy to burst them
open or to burn them.
At last there was no food for the
people, and famine prevailed.
The houses were full of the sick and
wounded; bloody fights between con
tending parties, us to surrendering or
holding out, crowded the streets with
freHh horrors; the roar of the sitge
night and day filled the air. A breach
was made lu tlto city, at midnight.
The princes of the king of Babylon
came In, the generals and high offi
cials, Nebuchnezzar himself was at
P.lbluh in Hnmath and the Chaldeans
burned the king's house, and the houB
es of the people, with fire, and brake
down the walls of Jerusalem.
The king of the Chaldees slew their
young men with the sword In the
house of their sanctuary, and bad no
compassion upon young man or maid
en, old man, or him that stooped for
age; hi gave them all Into bis hand.
And they burnt the house of God.
They slew the sons of Zedeklah be
fore bis eyes, so that the last things
his eyes ever saw, a perpetual mem
ory, were the agonies of his sons, and
of his friends, all the nobles of Judah.
They put out Zedekiuh's eyes. He
would have no more opportunities of
conspiring against his rulers.
Cod spoke by the tongue pf Kzeklel
one of the most mysterious and most
curious predictions in the entire Bible.
He declared that King Zedeklah
C Mould be led into P.ablon a captive,
lotild there live and there die, and
yet he should never see the city. So
singuuar Is this record that we must
read the verses just ns he wrote them
out. Now put with this a parullel
passage. Jeremiah was thrown into
prison by his monarch. While there
under bonds, ho In like manner pre
dicted tho downfall of Jerusalem; nnd
he said that Zcdekiah should speak
with Nebuchadnezzur mouth to mouth,
and see his eyes. The history we
have Just considered shows how these
prophecies were fulfilled and the cap
tives carried to Babylon.
The way of Transgressors Is the
choice of those who walk In It. God,
good men, angels, luws, all are against
any niun's walking therein. The way
of transgressors Is hard linked, be
cause of the awful punishment ut the
end of the way. Like tho human vic
tim selected for sucrlflco by tho Az
f cs, who for weeks was feasted and
honored, but who knew all the timo
what the end was to be. So the sin
ful know that the end of their way
Is death, and the consciousness of
this throws a shadow over all the life
before. The ruin from sin Is nn awful
tragedy; but whenever sin goes un
punished the sin increases. Murders
bave greatly increased In this coun
try, where the majority of murderers
go unpunished.
As the angel stood in the path Of
Balaam while going on In his stubborn
determination to disobey, so God puts
warnings, and entreaties, nnd mercies,
and the love of Christ, and trials and
punishments, in tlm patli of the sinner,
as his good angels, to withstand his
downward course, and to cry out to
him, "Go back, go back!"
The way of transgressors Is very
hard, not only ou account of the pun
ishment at the end, but because so
many barriers must be broken down
and restraining Influences must be
overcome In order to go on In sin the
love of God, the conscience and moral
nature, the word of God, the Holy
Spirit, the sense of honor, God's good
ness, enrly training, the Influences of
religion.
Christ brings new helps, new mo

reasons for love, but his Is the same
