That was the problem which had been tor meiitltie; .11 111 llnrrlHou for the Inst six mouths or more. It was the ques tion lie nsUed himself nervously -whenever he happened to sea May mid I.ncy Thompson together. Stay nnd I.ucy wore cousins, or phans, who sbnrvd n homo, nn aged nmit who performed the duties of a chnperon and n dross allowance of ZM per annum. May was young and pretty. Now, youth and beauty being two of the surest of Cupid's darts, May's youth ond good looks wonld surely have set tled .Tim, only, unfortunately, IiUey wns young ami pretty, too. May wns tall and dark, with a Greek protlle. and mnsses of smooth, blue block bnir, arranged In simple colls, regardless of fashion's decrees. I.ucy, on the other hnnd, was a small, fair girl, with nn aureole of ilulTy hair aud the sauciest nez re troussc In the world. Jim admired tall, dark women, and the contemplation of n Greek prolllo was to him n source of unceasing Joy, This would, no doubt, have led him to glvo tho preference to May, bad It not been for the fact Hint nn equally amiable weakness for Lucy's typo of loveliness drew hi 111 In the opposlto direction. .Tim's friends spott- of May ns 0110 ef the most accomplished and atulnblo creatures they had ever met. They referred to Lucy In precisely similar terms. May looked magnificent In white sntln, nnd when Jim saw her In n ball room he wondered how he could ever have given a thought to Lucy. But, then, Lucy was altogether be witching In blue linen, nnd no sooner did Harrison behold her thus attired In a punt on the river thnn the I.slon of May's charms faded Into Insignifi cance. To make a long story short Jim's adoration of May was only equaled by Ills devotion to Lucy, and dltHcultles were In no wise lessened by the fact that both parties recipro cated his affection. Tho chances nre thnt Jim would havo ended by remaining a bachelor to his dying dny but for tho advent of a fourth party upon tho scene of action. Tho fates selected ns their In strument ono Bertie Thompson, broth er to May, home from school for tbo summer holidays. Bertie, aetat fourteen, was a smart lad, with somewhat decided views upon the respective merits and de merits of his cousin and sister. lie took In the situation at a glance, and having uo particular objection to JIra as a brotber-ln-law, decided, for rea sons to be herelnfator set forth, that May was tho girl for Jim. He pondered tho subject at monl times and other odd times not occu pied by weightier matters. After the lapso of seven days his youthful re flections might have been crystallzed Into some such soliloquy as this: "Both the girls nre dead nuts on Harrison, and Harrison Is dead nuts on both tho girls. But, then. Harri son's only seen 'era In their best bibs and tuckers, stuck all over with com pany manners. Suppose tie caught sight of them mouchlng around the house say, at 0.30 In tho morning would be go on being spoons on them both? I'd back May a hundred to one against Loo, any day. P'raps he'd chuck them both, though. But It's worth risking, anyway." Thereupon Bertie hatched a diaboll cal plat. As the nearest relative of the ob jects of Jim's affections Bertie was a privileged visitor at Harrison's room Jim evinced no astonishment, there fore, when Bortle burst Into his don late one Saturday night and announced his Intention of accompanying him on a long-projected bicycle trip on the following morning. "You'll have to pass our show, In any case," said the astute Bertie, "so you might as well pick me up on the way. Besides, the girls want ,to see yon shout a picnic they're getting up next wepk." This lattpr orgnmpnt, an Inspiration of the moment, not nltogethpr founded upon the fact, proved Irresistible, nnd so It fell out thnt, punctually nt 0.30 on the following day Jim's rnt-n-tnt sounded upon tbo Thompson's front door. Now Mny nnd Lttey wero quite ne customed to tho sound of double knocks on n Sunday morning. It wns thn sound with which certain chums of Bertie's, tho boys from next door but one, were wont to present them selves nt the Thompson doorstep every Bnhhntli with unfailing regularity. Thus It vns that, vrhm Hnrrlron, admitted by the nimble Bertie, entered the Thompsonlnti domicile neither Mny nor Lucy was prepared for bis arrival. The two girls, ns Bertie bad takpn enro to ascertain, were engaged, each In her own way, in killing the time be tween breakfast ond dressing for church. Lucy, who Invariably Indulged In tea and toast In her bedroom, bad just emerged front thnt sanctum in scml-clvllli-.cd nttlre, nnd when Har rison, at Bertie's Instigation, entered the drawing room, nn unexpected vis ion met bis giizp. ..- -.,. Lucy wns seated at the plnno, bang ing the keys with 0110 hand, nnd with tlio other mnintnlning a steady com munication between her mouth find n box of chocolates, placed within con venient reneh. She wns garbed In nn old satin skirt no longer In Its primp, nml 11 mueli-befrllled dressing jacket, thnt must have been coquettish In Its youth, but wns now slightly soiled. A pair of pink sntln shoes, no longer lr- eproachable, completed the costume. Her preliy llufTy bnlr. with Its dls tnictlng little poufs nml curls, that .Tim considered the most ndorable part of Lucy, bad sulTered total eclipse under a mass of halr-eurlers. Jim, having 110 sisters of bin own, was unaccustomed to this last phe nomenon. Who t lint has ever expe rienced It will readily forget the shock produced upon a dellcnte nervous or ganization at tho lirst glimpse of ft young and beautiful woman under the Influence of linlr-curlers? In ten second Jim Harrison suffered nil the tortures of 11 terrible disillu sionment. Lucy, the child of bis dreams, winsome, delicate Lucy, with her feathery, golden curls ond her Prcsden china daintiness, faded from bis vision, niid there remained a very ordinary young person In a soiled sal In skirt and questionable shoes a young person with a tlp-tllted nose, who devoured chocolates wholesale, nml owed her chief attraction to ex trnueous causes commonly called curllng-plus. Without 11 word nnd beforo Luev had had tlmo to become conscious of bis presence, Harilsou turned and tied from tlio room. "Como and see May," whispered Bertie. "Xo, for heaven's sake!" cried tho miserable .Tim. "I can't stand nr.y more of thin'." Nevertheless, n Fort of fearful fnsel- nntlon, n wild desire to know tho worst, led him to follow the relentless Itertlo down tho stilrs Into tho regions devoted to culinary pursuits. they found Mny in the kitchen, mak ing a Yorkshire pudding. Attired i.i n pink cotton overall, the long sleeves or winch were rolled bnck well nbovo the dimpled elbow, she vigorously stirred tho batter, pausing every now nnu men to brush nwny certain rebel lious tears Hint threatened to mliislo with tho pudding. Her heavy black unir was coiled, as ho bod always seen It, in neat braids around tho shapely head. Jim remembered that he bad sometimes considered tho stylo n trlllo severe, and had even compared tho simple colls unfavorably with Lucy's picturesque locks. At tills mo ment bo could not understand how he bad over tundo such a mistake. Tho thought of tho curllng-plus dispelled tho charm of tbo curls. Mny, making a bntter' nuddlns nnd in fears! Tho combination was Irro slfilllilo. To Harrison tho girl had neier neomea so beautiful as now. li 1 glanced round the kitchen. Bertie, bright youth! had disappeared. Jim was nlono with May and her pudding and her tears. "Tell me. oarllng," asked J!m, ten minutes later, ''why you wcro crying when I cnnio In Just now?" "I I was thinking you wcro in love with Lucy, and. nnd " The rest of tho sentence was whis pered to the second button of Jim's wolstcoat. "Why, you dear little goose, what on earth could havo put such an Idea Into your bead?" At this Juucturo Jim. tho shameless, would most certainly havo placed his arm around tho dear littlo goose's waist, only it already happened to oc cupy that position. And Bertie, at the keyhole, chuckled softly to hlniself.-Wonian's Life. Why Borne Children Are Tlinlil, now many children have been terrl fled by stories of tho "Bogy Man," of "the wolf that will come aud eat them," of "tho policeman who will put tbem la the lockup," till their feur of the dark amounts to positive agony. Bedtime should be an hoar Inseparably associated with the prayer at tho mother's knee, followed by a quiet talk, after which tho little one settles down to a restful sleep. But Instead how often does It happen that the child Is tucked In bed with the admonition, "Now go right to sleep, like a good boy, for If you don't there's a big dog over there In tho corner that'll como and btto you!" Go to sleep 1 . Sheer nervous terror, keeps the child awake. How can lie be ex pected to grow up anything but timid?-Arthur W. Yale. M. D., In the Woman's Boms Companion. . WHERE TARPON 8WAPM. So Thlrk In Ontrmun Water Tlmt Tliry Have- lleeotne stnlsafire. Tarpon are becoming so thick in Onlveston waters thnt the fish Is it nulsnnce for thoso who desire to en gage In tho sport of capturing fish. Not thnt tlie tarpon Is not nn edlliln flsb, for It Is; but It is not considered when tliere nre mackerel nnd tront nnd redllsli and sheephend nnd a few others. . The trouble Is thnt the tarpon In Its eagerness to get n square tuenl, gets after these edible fish, stents bnit nnd often runs nwny with the books nnd lines of the fishermen. Hut for renl, genuine, bnrd-work sport tho tarpon will furnish enough for nn able bodied fisherman for a couple of hours. He Is a gaum flsb. If ever there was one. He takes bold of the hook with n swoop, lunges. Jumps, spars for wind, ducks for time and mnkes tho wnter churn to ft fonin In his endeavors to get awny. A good, stout book nnd Hup, with real, nre the Implements necessary to effect bis pnpturp, but even with these In the bands of nn nnintetir be Is npt to brrnk the line nnd gpt away. Tnrpon has to be worn out before be enn be landed, unless by n deft bit of nsslst hnee lip mny be landed on n rock during ono of his famous leaps nnd plunge. In tlHhlntr for tarpon most peopln prefer a bout, so that they cnu follow the fish In bis runs nitd lunges with out endangering the line, lie Is not such n monster fish, but bp Is n lively nno. I'Vw tnrpon will touch the benni nt UK) pounds, nnd the biggest known here wns six feet tell Inches In length. In nppenrnncp ns lli'-y come from the wafer they nre like grent Ingots of Silver, the tips of their scales belnj; of that hue. But they put up n lively fight, nnd In no plnco nre there so many ns nt (Inlveston. Onlveston fbdiermen say thnt they will get forty five strikes here where they get one In Florida waters. The waters nt times seem nllve with them. Their chief diet Is mullet. These little fish como nlong In schools covering neres. AVben tho wnter Is quiet out nlong the Jetties the mullets will come up, piny In the surface nnd keep the wnter ngltnted with little ripples. They move nlong with the Jetty slowly, whim suddenly they will stop, net bewildered, dnrt this wny for n few rods nnd then turn nnd run In the opposite direction. Soon on all sides tho tnrpon will begin to plunge nbovo tho surface of the water In diving for mullets. It np penrs thnt the tarpon Is quite n g"n rrnl nnd surrounds bis prey before nttnektng. Tnrpon Is nlso fond of menhaden, but theso do not nppenr In such numbers ns the mullets. But the tnrpon Is nn enemy to any thing that swims which Is smnll enough to be contained In bis stomach, nnd for thnt reason bo Is n nulsnnce. After the Jetties were completed nnd the workmen with thplr noise nnd dls turbnnce wero disbanded flsb found the rocks n good place for breeding. As n consequence tho Jetties have be come the finest place for fishing to bo found In American waters nny where. They furnish the (Inept plae because of tlio many different game fish thnt abound, ns well ns the grent vnrlcty nnd tho enormous qunntlty. 1'ho fnct that smnll flsb find the jet ties such comfortable places for the rs'tnbllshment of homes bus ntlrncted the tnrpon nnd the shark and the pro poise, tbo Juneflsh nnd the rnytlsn. These nil feed on tho smaller fish nnd each preys upon tho other. It Is a pure case of tho survival of the flUtest, nnd wcro It not for tho fact that millions of smnll fish exist to whero tliere Is one big fish tho race of smnll fishes would soon become ex tinct and the big fish would go hungry or havo to go on health food for a time. Galveston News. Wholesale Terjiiry In Court. At tho recent meeting of the Iowa Bur Association President McCarthy rnndo boiho very startling charges ns to tho prevnlenco of false testimony In courts of the present dny. Uo snld: "Where Is thero ft lawyer who has not seen a guilty criminal pass out of the court room acquitted aud free because of perjured testimony? What one of us has not seen rights of persons nnd of property sacrificed and trampled under foot, presumably under due forms of law, but really and truly by tho uso of corrupt, falso and sometimes purchased testimony? These ure the things thnt beget dls trust nnd disrespect for the courts and for verdicts nnd for our boasted forms of laws. Theso are tho things thnt produco anarchy, lynchlngnnd Invito a Just contempt for, ns well as a IneE of confidence in, tho tribunals called courts of Justice." Ono remedy, be thought, was to make oaths more Impressive. Onths should be administered solemnly by the Judge, he said; and tho Judge should take frequent occasions to im press on witnesses the severity of punishment for perjury. He thought oaths of ofllclnls to do their duty should bo abolished, and that la no case should they be allowed to bo taken lightly. Need of Third Era.
